Don't go here hungry! If you like cookies and pastries, this is THE place to go! They're always busy so be prepared to wait a little bit the wait is so worth it! Friendly staff. Oh, and be prepared to go home with more than you planned to get. It's just so hard to choose!!

I stopped into Kretchmar's on a Saturday afternoon around 4:30 PM. For that late in the day, I was surprised (in a good way) that they had such a vast selection of items. I picked a few different items to try. Everything I tasted was fresh and not overly sweet! The cookie decorations are also so fun and cute. They have seasonal cookies/baked goods in addition to everyday items like bread, muffins, and cake slices. The service was also great. I'm glad I don't live closer or else I'd be there too much. lol

This was my first visit to Kretchmars in a while. I've had many donuts, cakes, cookies, and pastries from there. I stopped by around lunchtime on a Wednesday to pick up a few things around lunchtime. Even midday/midweek the bakery was fairly busy but I was quickly served. I ordered a gourmet cookie, 2 cream puffs, and 2 eclairs. I'd highly recommend visiting. This is a multigenerational bakery that provides a superior product. You truly can't go wrong with any options here. Highly recommend!

Tried the chocolate napoleon. Very good, flaky but just way too chocolaty sweet. And mind you, I love me some good chocolate.

This little bakery packs a BIG punch! Their front door is constantly opening and closing, as people flood in for delicious treats. There isn't much space inside, no seating, and the parking is street parking. There's enough room for maybe 6-8 people to stand comfortably. The staff is quick, so you better have a plan! There are so many options that it's near impossible to make a bad choice. I went in with a full belly, unfortunately, and only left with two peanut butter cups and an apple turnover. Both were amazing and VERY fairly priced for the quality. I'll be certain to make a return trip to try more!

I don't live close by but I have family in the area so we have always had these cakes growing up for special occasions. Now we finally got to visit the shop and try more and so glad we have, just wish lived closer. Everything is delicious a d reasonably priced. We've had the pastries, cookies, Danish, donuts, next I need to try the specialty cakes/desserts. Everyone who works there has always been so friendly and helpful too.

A great local bakery with tons of wonderful items. Some of our favorites are the burnt raspberry almond torte, cookies, and the yogurt blueberry muffins.

My first 2023 visit, but always nice to go back to a REAL old school bakery. They are far & few between these days. You'll find tons of cookies, cupcakes, turnovers, danishes, cakes here. Great holiday selection. It's very small inside, fitting maybe 6-8 patrons at a time so the line can be out the door when busy. I stopped on Valentine's Day & got some beautifully decorated sugar cookies, chocolate covered Rice Crispy treats & an apple & cherry turnover. All fresh & delish. Free parking on street.

I am a bakery snob. I love baked goods, I love exploring new bakeries. When I have to travel to another city, another town, another state, the 1st thing on my agenda is scoping out local bakeries. When it's my birthday? I want to seek out a new bakery to visit and sample. I take baked goods very seriously and even the best bakeries I've been to, I've had some "complaints" in the sense of not liking the ratios, being disappointed in overwhelming or underwhelming flavors, a lack of freshness... I'm a hard one to completely impress. When we try a bakery for the 1st time, I start at 1 case and work my way through each and every case trying a bit of everything. We were in Beaver to take the dog to a new vet and I had read about Krechmar's so we had to stop. I arrived and the bakery itself was bright, warm and inviting. The young ladies working were friendly, kind, helpful and patient. The baked goods were colorful and beautiful. In normal new bakery fashion, we walked away with 3 boxes of pastries and a variety of everything including an almond torte. I don't say this lightly, I've NEVER been to a better bakery. Every single thing we sampled? Is the best we've ever had. Everything was fresh. The flavors were perfectly balanced, the rations perfection... Being from Pittsburgh, we have some noteworthy almond tortes in the area, NONE of them can touch Krechner's. I got just the regular one, but we got enough raspberry filled things (danishes, cookies etc) to know that their raspberry almond torte would have been incredible too. Their raspberry filling was the best raspberry filling we've ever had. Often times bakeries used flavoring extract, which to my tastebuds just taste like pure chemicals. This was like a homemade fresh raspberry preserves and was incredible. The cream puff had the most delectable cream inside (which I normally end up squeezing out at other places because it's gross lol). The cookies were fresh, soft and perfectly cooked. The danish? Literally the best I've ever had. If you're sensing a theme it's because there is 1. There isn't a single complaint, there isn't a single "it's good, but it would be better if they ______." It's just hands down, the very best bakery and the very best version of each and every single item that we bought that I've ever had in my entire life and I will return each and every time I have the opportunity to do so.
