5 stars – Absolutely Delightful! I’m from out of town and this was my first time visiting Rao’s Bakery, and wow, I was not expecting a drive-through! I was about to wake my sleeping baby to go inside, but to my surprise, I was able to order and get everything I needed right from the car. That alone made my day—it’s hot out, and having a convenient option like that is a lifesaver for a mom on the go. I ordered a vanilla caramel frappe with oat milk and it was incredible. Creamy, smooth, and not the least bit bitter. It honestly puts Starbucks to shame. Easily the best frappe I’ve ever had. To celebrate my husband‘s birthday he wanted something small so I also picked up a couple of gorgeous desserts: a slice of fresh berry-topped Sicilian cheesecake and a baby strawberry cheesecake. Both were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Rao’s made a great first impression, and I’ll definitely be stopping by again next time I’m in town. Highly recommend!

Beautiful, delicious looking food. Perfect atmosphere (beauty, seating, comfort, lighting, music). And very friendly workers. Which I appreciate so much because if you read my reviews I've had a lot of issues in this town with unfriendly businesses. A coffee and cake ball was $5. Pricing is great, great value. Did I say the baked items look delicious? I'm homeless or I would pig out. Everything looks good. I've never been in a bakery where everything seemed perfect and everything looked good. I'm impressed

What's going on with this location? We've been there several times and it's like no one knows what's going on. Always out of utensils on the bar. Muffalata and pastries we had for lunch were as stale as could be. Nothing like the Dowlen Rd or Calder locations. Heck, it was better before they moved to this new building.

We got breakfast croissants and coffee to go. The croissants were okay, and the coffee was a bit watered down. The cakes and cookies and other treats looked amazing though. If you are craving something sweet I would definitely recommend this place.

I have recently moved to this area and told my daughter I wanted to try this bakery for her birthday. A very nice atmosphere greeted us as soon as we walked in. Amazing display and choices of in-house fresh Gelato, and the baked display was looking amazing. I choose the mini strawberry cheesecake and the blueberry bran muffin. The cheesecake was light and airy made New York style with no crust but surprisingly with a bit of sweet mascarpone cheese on the bottom and center of the cheesecake very nice touch!! Homemade whipped cream counters the mascarpone/cheesecake beautifully strawberries were sweet fresh and crisp. The blueberry bran muffin is a difficult one as the bran can be either gritty or dry. This muffin was the best I've had. I ate half that day and the rest in the morning. It was still moist not gritty at all and they did not skimp on blueberries. Service was good, they answered all questions with a smile, patient with us first-timers. overall a very good experience.
