Merritt's Bakery Riverside

Well what a yummy place! Yes everything looks great and tasted good and I need to be carful when I come in because I want everything! Super clean and very welcoming for sure.
The lady who helped me was super nice and friendly and she gave me lots of options.
I will definitely be back for more!

Tried this bakery for the first time. Staff were nice and the atmosphere in the store was warm and welcoming. Got an apple pie and a strawberry cheesecake. They were a little over $50 together.

I'm a huge fan of apple pie and have tried many over the years. I was not a fan of the crust or filling of the pie I got here. Crust was extremely thin/soft resulting in it not contributing much texture. The apple filling had a strong vinegar flavor which was not good.

The strawberry cheesecake had an OK texture but the strawberry flavoring on the top used to make the swirl tasted fake like perfume. There was no sign of real strawberries or strawberry flavor. I also did not like the use of cake frosting on the outside border, wrong flavor to mix with a cheesecake in my opinion. I've had much better cheesecake from grocery stores.

For the cost, not really worth it. Probably won't be returning.

They have really impressive pastries, as well as sandwiches. There is sometimes a wait to be served, but it’s always been worth it. The prices are comparable to other locally-owned bakeries that provide top-notch treats. The chocolate-cherry torte is one of my favorites, and their chocolate ganache is one of the best! We often get birthday cakes here, and we appreciate that they contribute to the library’s summer reading program with coupons!

This new location is a great addition. So much more pleasant. The service was very good, the treats were very tasty. They have baked goods, pastries, sandwiches and soups. If your tired of being disappointed with run of the mill treats, visit Merritt's.

This place is bad for you. So many wonderful things to eat. Staff is great . Best place to get a sugar fix.

I’d give this location and it’s management zero stars if I could! Let’s start with how this $200 cake order had to be taken a total of five times. On the day of pick up the cake had a five instead of a three, waited over an for that to be fixed, cardboard still showing, the designs were not symmetrical. Upon cutting the cake both layers were chocolate, another thing we didn’t ask for. When calling when them and trying to talk about the situation the manager straight lied to us saying that that’s not what we order when he realized he was wrong and that we knew we were talking about he was empathic, offered to remake the cake the birthday is over. Just simply do not waste your time with these rude people.

Ordered a cake for my daughter’s 21st birthday. It was supposed to be a shot glass but it was far from it. Husband picked it up and had no idea what it was. We ended up moving Barbie and the shot glasses on top of the cake to keep it from looking like a slab of butter. Cake was still amazing as usual, just very disappointed with the decorating

Super friendly staff, variety of sweets, and very clean establishment. Dine in available and curb side pick up as well.

I called and asked if they could make a unicorn cake for my daughter’s birthday. The cake turned out great! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and they were able to make the cake exactly how we wanted. I will definitely come back here for my future custom orders and would highly recommend them as well.

Until this last time Merritt's was great. Lots of choices. When I went to this location, I felt like a dark cloud was over my head. I arrived before noon, everything I wanted, they were out of; croissants, chicken salad & roast beef. So I decided I wasn't suppose to eat lunch there & just bought a couple cookies for my grandsons.
