Review Summary

Bernice is described as a standout bakery with indulgent pastries, from fluffy brioche and cinnamon rolls to thick cookies and beautifully decorated cakes, and the coffee program is frequently praised. Many reviews highlight the blueberry coffee cake as soft and well balanced and the cookies as thick and rich, with the chocolate chip with pecans singled out as a balanced favorite, while some find certain items too sweet and others note the price can be high. Occasional notes of inconsistency and price concerns recur, including a few delivery mixups or cake substitutions that disappointed some customers. Cakes for birthdays and weddings are celebrated as impressive and delicious, and service is often described as friendly, attentive, and helpful, with staff going above and beyond on occasions. Overall the vibe is clean and chic, the atmosphere is cozy, and guests repeatedly say they will return to try more items, though many suggest getting there early to grab popular treats.

The original cinnamon bun is amazing! Yes it's a bit expensive but for the quality & the size it's absolutely worth it. Also the staff is very kind!

Bernice is a really solid bakery with some standout items.

Their brioche is basically a cinnamon-roll cousin - super moist, fluffy, & indulgent. It does lean on the sweeter side, but if you like rich pastries, it hits the spot.

The blueberry coffee cake is an absolute 10/10 - soft, crumbly, perfectly balanced, & honestly one of the best things I've had there. My only complaint is that it's not available nearly as often as I wish it were. The cinnamon coffee cake is also delicious, though it can be a bit dense at times compared to the blueberry.

The cookies are very much Levain-style: thick, crispy on the outside, super moist inside. I tried a variety - double chocolate, chocolate chip, cranberry white chocolate, funfetti - but most were very sweet, to the point where I couldn't finish them. The standout for me was the chocolate chip with pecans; the nuts cut the sweetness perfectly & made it much more balanced.

My only real downside: the price. Around $40 for six cookies feels steep, even for high-quality baking.

That said, Bernice clearly knows what they're doing. If you're into rich, indulgent baked goods & don't mind a sweeter profile, it's worth a visit - especially if you can get your hands on that blueberry coffee cake.

My boyfriend & I stopped by this bakery to grab a quick bite right before they closed. They were so so sweet & we were absolutely floored by the pastries. I wholeheartedly believe that the quality of the pastries reflect their prices & I would recommend that everyone has the amazing experience of trying their items. I will definitely be coming back to take my time & try more things!!

I am such a difficult critic when it comes to coffee.
The best latte, cappuccino or just a simple expresso! & of course you must try the cookies.
The pastry chef is very creative with flavors & using the best quality ingredients for his creations.
UNE BOULANGERIE INCONTOURNABLE !!!

Unfortunately the quality is inconsistent & there is a lack of care about customer service. Be careful with full cake orders & delivery orders.

We purchased the strawberry shortcake & it tasted (& looked) not fully baked unfortunately.
Also placed an order on uber eats for the cake of the day which was shown on their IG as a pistachio honey cake & instead received a Black Forest cake slice which was featured as their cake of the day the day before. Really disappointing as we contacted them about it & they did not make it right & said they were sorry if we were « confused » by their IG (even if they only featured the honey cake that day). When you are paying over $70+ for desserts, the experience & quality should be much better.

Outstanding Service & Delicious Pastries!
From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm & friendly welcome. The staff was incredibly kind & attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Their excellent service truly stood out! There was a great variety of pastries, & everything looked delicious. I decided to try a brioche with cheese, ham, & bacon. It was so good that I had to order another one right away! I also bought two cookies & a croissant, & everything was of exceptional quality.
Beyond the amazing food & coffee, what really made a difference was the outstanding service. The staff was genuinely friendly, making the place feel even more cozy & inviting. I'll definitely be coming back!
