Food:

I have been a long time loyal customer !! My favorite is the black bottoms !!!!

Food:

Waited an hour for a cake ordered 2 weeks prior. It hadn't even been designed. Love the baked goods BUT the in professionalism makes it NOT WORTH IT.

Okay Berger's cookies, great cakes, mediocre customer service.

It was a rainy Saturday afternoon, so the entire Lexington Market was less crowded than usual. At Berger's Bakery, though, there were about 10-15 customers trying to get helped. I was being courteous and started standing behind what looked like the end of a line, waiting to get helped, only to find that two customers who arrived later than I (and stood behind me) got helped before I did because they yelled out their orders when one of the staff members became available. Okay, guess I will have to be aggressive to get what I want. When it was my turn, being a cake person, I got a slice each of the carrot cake, and butter pound cake; also got 1/4 lbs of their well-known Berger's cookies.

I would like to echo some of the previous reviews - their signature cookies are so-so, not that impressive. The chocolate icing took up about 1/2 of the entire thing and tasted like store-bought factory-made icing. The cookie was frankly quite bland, a little pillowy and crumbly.

Their cake slices were quite good though. The carrot cake itself was moist, substantial, full of spices and texture. The icing on top tasted home-made, just sweet and smooth enough to compliment the cake. The butter pound cake was also moist, fluffy, delicately sweet like a homemade pound cake.

I will be back for their cakes and maybe their cookies other than the Berger's cookies
