Servatii Pastry Shop And Deli

I absolutely adore this little spot! You have to try the garlic beer cheese with pretzel slices—it's delicious. I also took home a box of butter cookie stars, which were fantastic! I always make it a point to stop at Servatti's whenever I'm in Cincinnati!

This charming, old-school bakery is perfect for holiday cookies. Their cheese-filled Danish and soft pretzels are excellent. Plus, there's convenient parking right at the shopping center!

I received the wrong salad. I'm not a big fan of spinach salad, but that's what I got instead of the chef salad I ordered.

These are the best Danish pastries and donuts I've ever tasted. The blueberry cake donut is outstanding!

As a child, I would feel disappointed whenever someone mentioned that they got their birthday cake from Servatii. To this day, the taste of their buttercream makes me cringe. It's overwhelmingly sugary, resembling a hard, grainy texture rather than the soft, fluffy icing one would expect. Cutting into it feels like slicing through wet sand due to its excessive sugar content, which almost transforms it into rock candy. The cake itself is shockingly dry and overly sweet as well. There are far better bakeries out there; I really can't say I like this one.
