Came in with a Groupon, otherwise, I'd never have found this place--and what a find it is! Prices are excellent, quality is excellent, service is excellent.
I'd suggest you use Baker Wee for alot of your cookie buying. I know I am. I love this place!!!!
By the way, I have been in there two times near holidays, and they do some really cute cookies each holiday..cool!1 Previous Review: Show all »

I am a business owner in Glendale, and my company and I have purchased bakery items on several occasions (over 50 times). Their service is great, and the owner Lora adds a personal touch. We have ordered several baked goods and there is a big difference between a store bought cake that was pre-processed before it was put on a shelf and a Baker Wee Cake. Several of you posted you get what you pay for, and that is true, but with a Baker Wee Cake you get more quality and taste than what you pay for. I have also purchased their muffins for meetings. Check out their chocolate muffins they are definately unique and when they're heated they melt in your mouth. I attend a lot of community meetings and when I have time I stop by Baker Wee's and purchase donuts and/or muffins. Everyone is happy. This is not a five star resoort, but it sure is a five star bakery. I encourage to give them a try.

Lora at Baker Wee made my dream wedding cake; I provided her with a picture and she created an exact replica. Words cannot express how excited I STILL feel about my incredible cake, and how grateful I am for Lora's dedication to perfection in appearance and taste (my gluten-free Aunt ate TWO pieces of it, not because it was gluten-free but because it was that delicious!).
While it's hard for me to stop raving about the cake that took my breath away, I must say the personalized service and attention I received from Lora and her staff at Baker Wee was just as amazing. I am so grateful that this small, locally owned and operated bakery was available to provide my wedding cake. They even went the extra mile and delivered the cake to my caterer the early morning of my wedding. And if all this perfection were not enough, it was *incredibly* affordable too.
I'm so glad I wasn't drawn in my the supposedly fancy and overpriced wedding cake bakeries because Baker Wee exceeded my wildest expectations for a fraction of the cost! A million thanks Lora! -

Beautiful family run bakery. I stopped in for a cup of coffee and a pastry. The apple filling was delicious and not too sweet. The pastry was light and airy. My coffee was bold and flavorful. The shop's environment is very comfortable and their products are noticeably superior to many items I have had at the grocery store. I can relate to the locals smiling and see it is a favorite destination in this area of the community.

Until recently I would have given this place five stars. However, the last few times I've gone there they didn't have what I needed and what I ended up with wasn't that good. My last experience I needed a chocolate cake with whipped topping. Even though I ordered if four days in advance, they said they couldn't do the whipped topping. I had to have a pre-made chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Bummer. I should have made the cake myself. It would have been better and not cost me $30.

Great brownies.....awesome muffins.....good coffee.....friendly service. The muffins are 2.25 and everything else is under 2 bucks for a single serving.....including the coffee which has free refills. It is definitely worth the drive even if it is out of your way.....because even the cakes they make there are affordable. The day we visited someone ordered a sponge bob cake.....and 50th birthday cake shaped like a castle....and someone even ordered a lavish wedding cake....and none were over 60 bucks....that is an awesome price.
Now I know you can get cake cheaper at a local grocery store....costco....and sam's club...but they won't make these types of cakes and they won't be as good. So if you looking for something sweet to satisfy that sweet tooth head down to Baker Weeeeeee.....Eat, Drink and be Merrrrryyyyyy....my Friends!!!! -

I've never been here, but my coworkers keep bringing this stuff into the office. It's great stuff! The cookies aren't too soft or too hard, and packed with flavor. The brownies...oh my, they're the best brownies I've ever had! They're so dense and full of cocoa, and the frosting on top augments the flavor without adding too much sugar.
And that's what I like about this place the most...I love baked goods, but a lot of them are too sweet for my taste. Baker Wee seems to focus on a quality product that tastes just as delicious as it looks. -

I recently had a sugar free cherry pie delivered as a surprise for a diabetic friend of mine. Placing the order was a breeze and the service friendly. The delivery fee was high at $25 and cost more than the pie itself but I needed a last minute birthday gift. It turned out I gave them the wrong address and the delivery guy couldn't find the place. They called the recipient, got directions and re-delivered the pie.
The pie was a big hit. It was so fresh it cracked open when cutting into it. She said it was so delicious and filling she had it for lunch.
I simply love that they offer a variety of sugar free cakes and pastries. More places should. -

Legit is my own personal designation for a business that does thing the right, most perfect way. Baker Wee is completely and totally one of these places.
My sister-in-law first introduced me to their delicious wares... The cake I first tasted had to be a few days old by the time it got to me, and it was still fantastic. Then my nephew requested his birthday came be from Baker Wee, but we were gonna be outta town... Finally, my wife requested something tasty from Baker Wee for her birthday, and I was in charge of ordering it so I got to experience the FULL EFFECT.
Baker Wee is an old-school bakery, but they utilize new school techniques as well. For example, for my wife's Friday Night Lights birthday cake could have had goal posts made of fondant, but instead they used the tried and true pipe cleaner route, which made it that much better, and nostalgic. They have these binders that serve as their portfolio that are chock full of all the awesome stuff they've made through the years. The staff is beyond courteous and super helpful, and they know which of their employees to assign to your project with their respective, particular expertise.
When we walked up to the refrigerator case my wife's eyes teared up; she was so happy! The cake (double chocolate with whipped frosting, made up to look like a football field, with "Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose" on the base) was PHENOMENAL. it was so fresh and moist, sweet but not overpowering. Definitely some of the best cake I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. Plus, it was HUGE, like a 3 layer block of cake that would serve 35 people, and it was under $50! It's 5 days since the party and we are still chiseling away at the leftovers... it's gonna be real sad to have to throw it out.
If you need a cake made for a special occasion, or just want some delicious brownies, or cookies, or even donuts then you simply MUST check this place out. -

This place is always busy so be prepared to wait a long time before being attended to. Also, they have NO sense of customer service...they are not rude, they just don't speak the language of customer service. But that doesn't matter because you will be satisfied with their fresh baked bagels, donuts, and other pastries.
What I hate about this place though is their outrageously overpriced sandwiches. They charged me over 7 dollars for some veggies and a piece of cheese on a piece of bread...no discount for vegetarian! Next door Blimpies is a better lunch option, by far.
The environment is not very inviting. -

I called Bakery Wee to order a cake for my daughter who is an actress at the Arizona Broadway Theater. I live in NYC and I called them from NYC and asked them to make a special cake for her 25th birthday. The cake arrived on time and my daughter could not stop crying...her cake was so beautiful and everything I ordered!!! Thank you sooooo much to bakery wee for doing everything I asked for...I was so far away and wanted my daughter's birthday to be so special and you did the joy by far better than any NY city bakery could have ever done!!! Thank you so much for making my daughter's Birthday so special...while I was so far away!!!!

This is such a great bakery! I purchased a King's Cake for a Mardi Gras party and it was awesome. They were also able to make the cake for me with less than a 48 hr notice. How amazing is that!?! Take a look at the pic I took of it and posted it to the business site on yelp. It was super cute. And not to mention so tasty.
They also have a great selection of muffins, donuts, and cookies. And don't leave without trying one of their macaroons! They are orgasmic!!! What's not to love about the Baker Wee? I agree, nothing!Listed in: Dog-Friendly Patios

Incredible. Best cake I've ever eaten. Incredible attention to my unique patterns and design. Extremely moist that you couldn't get enough. I was married in October 2011. The venue gave me 2 choices of bakeries I could use that are included in the package deal I paid for. One was a fancy schmancy bakery with a french name, many impressive flavors (at least that was on their on-line menu), and just all around looked like a fancy bakery. The other was Baker Wee. First, I don't care for cake. I went to both bakeries and was SO impressed with Baker Wee and very disappointed in the fancy bakery. The fancy bakery lied about all the flavors they carried and REFUSED to let us taste the flavors we were interested in. They brought out the 4 most popular flavors of cake recommended by other people that we had 0 interest in. Really? They would also only do 2 lines of filling in each tier. They also had an upcharge for design, # of guests, and size. They refused to make a small 3rd tier for the top of the cake based on my # of guests and wanted to charge me a fortune for it. This fancy bakery nickeled and dimed us, were late with our appointment, and we couldn't even taste the flavors we wanted. We then went to Baker Wee. Awesome! We made 2 tasting appointments with the owner, Laura. We got to taste all flavors. The cake was very very good. They had numerous fillings to choose from and they also did 3 lines of filling in each tier, not 2 like the other bakery. Laura agreed to make the top 3rd tier for FREE, and even though we were just under the guest count we gave her, she didn't charge me at all for extra cake. We chose an incredible red velvet cake with 3 lines of filling for the two big tiers. 2 lines were raspberry cream mousse and the other line was a white chocolate cream mousse. Outstanding. The smaller top tier was a chocolate cake with fudge filling and 2 lines of white chocolate cream mousse. Great! My design was very unique and difficult. Each tier was different. The overall theme was black, burgundy, and silver. This was not a standard wedding cake by any means. I had unique, detailed patterns on each tier. She even added extra touches for free like sparkle dust and a fondant ribbon with our initials. When I saw this cake done at my venue, it was amazing. It looked exactly like my picture. It had incredible detail. It was butter cream on the outside, but was so well done, it looked like fondant. When we ate the cake, it was by far the best cake I have ever had. It was super moist and exceeded the taste testing. This cake was so good, you just couldn't stop eating it. Baker Wee exceeded all of our expectations. They didn't charge for the extra tier like all other bakeries would. It was the most moist, delicious cake I've ever had.

Let me just say, that as a former employee I have never been happier at a job. The atmosphere is wonderful and the other employees are delightful! I was sad to go, but I make sure to stop by everytime I am in town to visit friends and family!
I have made the effort to drive the 45 minutes to Glendale just for their cakes every year for my birthday, and I even ordered my wedding cake from them!
I absolutely love this place and you definately get what you pay for! I recommend this place to anyone that will lesten! -

Very very impressed!!!
I had my first taste of Baker Wee deliciousness last night! My friend was hosting another friends birthday at a restaurant and wanted to bring a cake. We had talked about my yelp findings and I had suggested Baker Wee since we live pretty close. My girlfriend gave them a call and discussed her friends interest in pool and the bakers came up with an amazing cake that was the shape of one huge 8 ball! The best part about the whole thing was that the 8 ball was actually a bunch of cupcakes put together in a circle with a gigantic layer of frosting! Mmmm!! The creation was almost too delicious to eat. I was very impressed with how innovative and flexible they were to my friends request for a unique birthday creation.
Taste:
I split my cupcake with a friend and really enjoyed the frosting but the actual cake portion seemed a bit dry.
Why 5 stars then? The cupcake/cake design was unreal and the birthday boy absolutely loved it! If I need a cake in the future, I will for sure talk to the bakers at Baker Wee -

I live in the neighborhood, and have gone here for birthday cakes, donuts for the office, breakfast sandwiches and the black and white cookies. Everything has been pretty decent, and the people that work here are super nice.
My boyfriend absolutely adored the cake I got him from here. It was a little pricey, but it made him really happy (he's a chocolate freak) - so it was worth it.
Overall it's a place I'll keep going when I have that "I need a baked good" fix. :) -

I'm not particularly impressed with Baker Wee. Since I live nearby and take classes at the ASU West campus, it's convenient and I wind up here far too frequently. Sometimes you just need a good cookie and there aren't many options in this particular area.
The problem with heading to Baker Wee to fulfill that cookie craving is.... Well, their cookies leave much to be desired. The cake is a bit better, but the quality varies. On some trips, they can produce an incredible red velvet cake that leaves me craving more. Upon a return visit, the same cake can say nothing more than "eh". To be fair, though, I've never received anything worse than "eh". Still, the mediocre seems to be more prevalent than the fantastic. Even the ambiance feels drab.
The employees have always been helpful and friendly. A couple of years ago I had a flat in the parking lot and too much time reading, drinking coffee, and eating a bagel sandwich inside in an attempt to avoid the heat while waiting for the assistance to arrive and was quite grateful for the permission to loiter.
Thumbs up to the people, a wavering hand to the mediocre and fluctuating quality of the food -

I am going to join the not impressed minority on this one. Nice people, good selection, but their cake isn't much more than what you get at Basha's and it is a whole lot more. I priced them for wedding cake and they are some of the more expensive places on the west side. If you want a really special cake with a million details and cost is not a thing, go here. If you are looking for a good cake that won't burn a whole in your pocket- look someplace else.
And just to clarify- I have had their cake at several functions and as I mentioned- not much better than Bashas. -

On our way home, hubby noticed baker Wee and suggest we pop in. After searching for the perfect desert, we decided on the pineapple upside down cake. It was 9.99 worth of gooey deliciousness. Although it was very deep for a pineapple upside down cake, the cake was moist and fluffy. The topping oozed down the sides and soaked into the cake for a sinfully sweet bite. Amazing!!!
I know I am basing 5 stars on one cake but it was to die for and the girl behind the counter was super helpful and friendly. I should just confess now....we bough the cake yesterday and it is already gone. Yep. Two people, one cake....it was that good. -

You know what? I wasn't crazy about the coffee, but I wanted a latte and they don't have latte's (I don't think they had an espresso machine). They did make me a blended iced mocha drink and honestly, it was pretty good.
Here's the scoop: I had their black and white cookie. One word D-E-L-I-S-H. It was thinnner than I'm used to but the cake was SO fresh and the frosting! NOM NOM NOM. I SAyYGOD DAMN! AMEN!
I'll be back. (for the black... and white! booyah!) -

I like this place..cute and neighborly. The food was also tasty and the owners/employees were very friendly and helpful. The problem was that the owner/proprietor/manager couldn't make a chai latte to save her life. (They were on the menu, so it's not like I made a special order). It took her a good 20-30 minutes of me standing there for her to track down the ingredients in the cupboards, then concoct the thing. She was very apologetic, but it was still a bit inconvenient and odd considering it was a coffee shop.
Nevertheless, I'm certainly willing give it a second chance, especially since I haven't tried the food yet... -

Baker Wee provides Phoenix with the comforting, sweet, and scrumptious bits of heaven you expect from a small bakery. The chocolate covered strawberries are unbelievably juicy and rich. We have also ordered our wedding cake with Baker Wee, and I can't wait to stuff my face with it later this year!!!

Had time before work the other day and happened to be in area so I stopped in. Got a sandwich for lunch and it was very tasty. Came with pickle spear and cookie.
The smell of the baked goods called my name so I had to check out the display cases. Yum, yum! The black and white cookie is the best I've tasted so far and the eclair was to die for. I bought a couple of iced butterfly cookies and gave to a co-worker who thanked me several times.
Will definitely go back when in the area. Enjoy! -

Baker Wee is awesome. A couple years ago, my husband's one birthday wish was for a birthday cake. Simple enough, you'd think, but he was diabetic and it was a task to locate and choose a bakery that makes custom sugar-free cakes. I'm sure glad I found Baker Wee! The cake was good, but had that sugar-free taste (which was fine and kind of expected). I've returned a couple times and each cake has been just as good. The last time I picked up a cake, they asked me how much I was quoted when I placed the order. I wasn't quoted a price and told him so. He only charged me $25 for a cake that should have cost more according to their price list!

I also tried a chocolate dipped strawberry and my husband bought a lemon pound cake. This place is a bit out my way but I will take the time to go back again. Special thanks to Tyler who gave us great service!

After a hair cut, we decided to get some non-Starbucks coffee. The sign says "bakery and coffee" but they do not sell espresso drinks, just plain coffee with a selection of creamers and sugars. The coffee wasn't bad though so no complaints. We also tried the mint brownie, mini canoli, and pumpkin donut. I didn't have any of the brownie but the canoli and donut were both a little dry. Not bad in taste though. It's a cute little family owned shop but I wouldn't go out of my way to get here.

Stopped here last week as I was in the mood for an eclair and other Yelp reviews stated this place had good eclairs. I, however, did not care for the eclair here. Mine was dry and hard. The filling is more of a whip cream rather than a custard. The other items we had were oatmeal cookie, cannoli and carrot cupcake. All were average at best. Nothing memorable. If you like eclairs I recommend trying the Safeway at 39th Ave and Happy Valley Rd. The eclairs at this location are FANTASTIC. They are filled with custard and the chocolate topping and eclair pastry are heavenly. You get two good sized eclairs for $2.79. I'm addicted to them.

I have not had lunch here nor have I had the cake here but what I did have was the eclairs. Eclairs are my favorite. These are the best and they are so big its unreal. The chocolate is really thick on top and they are overloaded with filling. These don't have you typical custard filling its more whip cream like actually. Normally I would have a problem with that cause I love the custard filling but this filling is really good. These eclair's are crisp just on the outside and nice and soft in the middle. They don't fall apart like other eclairs in fact mine stayed together till the very last bite. The eclairs are abut $3.50 each. I also have tried some of the cookies they have and all were good. They also make sandwiches, fresh bread, cakes, and other pastries.

Stopped in here this morning to check it out and try some baked goods - after reading other reviews, I thought it was a good choice. I really wanted to try a couple of cupcakes to get a feel for cake quality and frosting before possibly ordering a birthday cake for an upcoming event. There were no cupcakes on display, but they were quick to offer to frost a couple that were ready in the back. This how they earned the one star I am giving - nice to offer to go in back and make me a couple of cupcakes. All they had ready were the 2 basics - chocolate and vanilla - so I opted for one of each frosted with their buttercream (I was offered buttercream or whipped icing). They came out decorated with a very basic swirl, but that was fine with me - I care more about the taste anyway! Tried both when I got home - the chocolate cake was so dry it just completely crumbled all over the plate, and it had no chocolate flavor - just a dry, brown cupcake. The white was a little better texture-wise, at least it held together when I cut into it! The flavor of the white one was fine, but nothing to dream about. The thing that really made me sad, though, was the frosting! It was called "buttercream" but I am pretty positive it should have been called "Crisco cream" because it tasted like crisco and sugar - no vanilla, no butter. It was terrible! I am sad to say I will not be returning to Baker Wee. I know others have had better luck here, and maybe I just went on the wrong day, but I will just have to continue my search for a good local baker.

This place is pretty good. The cakes and cookies are pretty scrumptious. I don't know if I've ever had anything else but a few different cakes from here, but it's a great place to go. They even have sugar free stuff. I've never had any, but from the stuff they make with sugar, I think it would be pretty decent.

Me and a coworker were traveling in the area and decided to drop in for lunch. We wanted a sandwich and debated whether or not to go here or Blimpies. We both has sandwiches which were decent, nothing outstanding. What makes this four stars in the bakery!!! We decided to share a carrot cake large cupcake, sooo AMAZING!! There were so many desserts to choose from! I will definitely be back if I'm in the area.
