Traub’s Bakery

I am very disapointed at this bakery. I have gotten all of my cakes here prior and I went in there the other day for a very simple cake. I asked for a Thomas the train cake. I was very flexible but knew how much I wanted to spend. The guy or should I say boy at the counter was no help. He couldn’t give me any prices and he couldn’t give me any information about what they could or couldn’t do. He even told me to call back or come at a different time to speak to their baker. I asked for a number or for an email address but he was unable to give me anything. Unfortunately I will not be going back there.

Wonderful pastries. Their donuts are fresh and delicious as well as their brownies.

Called two weeks ahead of time to order my mom’s birthday cake. Ordered a small chocolate chip pound and with buttercream icing to feed up to 8 ppl. Was a little surprised when the girl on the phone quoted the price at $ 40 but agreed since this was the bakery mom requested. Picked it up Sunday for Easter dinner dessert. What a disappointment. The cake was frozen. The center had thawed but as you got closer to the icing the cake was frozen. If I wanted a frozen cake I would have gone to Acme’s freezer section and paid $ 10. Needless to say we will not be back.

Hometown Bakeries are nearly a thing of the past so embrace your local one like I have.
–Family owned and operated.
— Inexpensive
— Seasonal offerings year round.
For example Easter bread.
— Everyday items are too extensive to name but i would say skip that coffee joint and get your donuts and coffee here. They have an amazing amount of varieties and for those lovers of filled donuts, you won’t be disappointed here. Their filled donuts are exactly that —-filled!
Or should I say full? Because at this place you’ll actually taste filling in every bite!!!
–Sticky Buns– like your grandma’s Something really fun for Sunday with coffee,
–Cookies. Grab yourself a box. You’ll be a hit at the next family gathering.
— Cakes. Who needs a Cake Boss 100 miles away when Traubs is one of the King of Cakes in Delaware County. Their wedding and specialty cakes are on display and they are beautiful.
For bakery items and coffee this is one of the best in the burbs.

I always come stop by for donuts and sticky buns on the way into work, delicious! Today we picked up 2 pies for thanksgiving, an apple and pumpkin. Also snow flake rolls. Neither was what I was expecting. The apple pie was so sloppy as soon as you cut it it crumbled into pieces. The pumpkin was so gritty as though they didn’t mix the batter well enough. When you were chewing it had a crunch to it. The snow flake rolls were so stale like they made 2 days ago. I will definitely come back for pastries but do not recommend the pies.

I ordered a bridal shower cake with Traubs, and did all of the planning via the phone– as I live in DC. The Traubs team were very helpful & genuinely listened to what I thought the cake should look like. I could not have been more pleased with the cake upon pickup. (Photo was uploaded as well). My only suggestion is to bring cash! I was surprised you couldn’t add a tip onto a card payment. If I lived near this shop, I’d be a regular… Great staff & great cake!

People in the neighborhood seem to love this bakery, so it’s a good place to buy gifts to bring to someone’s house or to the hospital for the nurses. But the truth is that there’s nothing special about the old-​fashioned baked goods they sell. If anything, their kind of boring.

You know the feeling: You’re drooling over an array of beautifully crafted desserts. Everything looks so enticing you can barely choose. You decide on the most scrumptious looking pastry. You take a bite… and your excitement crumbles. It’s doesn’t taste nearly as good as it looks. Disappointment sets in.
Fortunately, you’ll never experience this at Traub’s. Taste matches presentation here. I’ve tried several different baked goods and I’ve never been let down — everything from cakes to cannolis is unconditionally delicious.
The donuts are spectacular. They’re fluffy, abundantly filled (if you go that route, get the white cream) and taste unbelievably fresh. When a donut craving strikes or I need a dozen to take to work I never, ever go to that certain pink and orange chain donut place *ahem* anymore.
Traub’s cannolis are the best in the area. I’m a huge cannoli fan and, as such, I’ve learned they’re difficult to execute correctly. The ricotta (yes, they must be filled with ricotta, but I supposeee you can opt for Traub’s vanilla or chocolate cream fillings) must be of a certain consistency and have just the right amount of sweetness. This bake shop hits the mark on both.
My favorite item here is the lemon cheese danish. Oh my gosh. Sweet, slightly tart lemon surrounded by sweet cheese, nestled in a perfectly flaky pastry and drizzled with white icing. It’s absolutely HEAVENLY.
Traub’s is the only bakery in the area I visit now and I’m very much looking forward to my next excuse to buy a dozen of their donuts. Actually, I’m thinking I could use a danish to go with my coffee this morning… or perhaps some cannolis for dessert…

Got a peanut butter bar.

Best place for cakes. Unusually tasty buttercream. Don’t know who decorates the occasion cakes, but shout out to them! Nice, nice girl behind counter.

My wife ordered a cupcake cake for my daughter’s birthday party. When she picked them up the cupcakes were tan and black instead of pink and black. The woman who waited on my wife spoke in a whisper, was unapologetic and did not offer us a discount let alone an excuse even though the screw-​up was on Traub’s end. I can only tell you one thing, you are very lucky I did not pick up the order because I would not have been so understanding.
This is unacceptable on every level and I will take my case to Unilocal since your business has forgotten that the customer is what truly matters. You lost this customer because your customer service sucks. As someone who owns 2 businesses myself, I cannot believe this has happened. Word of mouth can make and break a business and I have a big mouth. I can’t wait to tell all of the parents at the party later today about our experience.
Maria’s Bakery on Mac Dade was picked for Best of Delco for a reason.

I had my first Traub’s experience last weekend after finding them here on Unilocal.I’ve driven past a hundred times but never thought to stop — big mistake. Everything I got was delicious, and I am very picky about baked goods! I was craving cinnamon rolls and the Butterfly Buns were perfect. My husband raved about the donuts — boston crème and powdered cream — and the butter cake? While different from the butter cake I’ve had before (it’s more like the world’s biggest and most decadent cheese danish), I loved it, and the cheerful woman who waited on me said it’s her personal favorite! The prices are also super reasonable — I picked out what felt like a ton of food and it was just over $ 20.
The cakes seem to be super popular and I’ll be going back for the strawberry shortcake & cheesecake.

I’ve had cakes from here before, always delicious! Yesterday for my birthday a coworker got my cake from here, the experience was no different. who knew a vanilla cake with icing could be so darn good! Seriously, as soon as you opened the box all I could smell was heavenly goodness. I was so delicious, no one could pass up a slice and they thanked me with every bite. I still am dying to try their strawberry shortcake. soon enough.

Addicted to the sugar jelly donuts, there’s nothing like them around! Also if you happen to get lucky and catch them on the rare occasion that they have PEANUT BUTTER and JELLY donuts, TRY THEM. I LOVE THEM!!!

It was a coworkers birthday so I brought in a strawberry shortcake birthday cake in from Traubs. It was delicious… the cake was of perfect moisture and sweetness and the frosting was fantastic. There were strawberrys in the layers of cake. Everyone at work loved it! Perfect strawberry shortcake!!!

A co-​worker brought in the most delicious cake… it looked like a coffee cake but was the moistest, most delectable «coffee cake» I had ever had. When I asked where it was from, she told me it was Traub’s apple cake. It was phenomenal. Now, if only it were low fat…

I was told I needed to stop here when I was visiting the area and I am glad I did. The Boston cream donut I had was divine! I also grabbed the crumb bars to bring back to AZ and my husband and I enjoyed those. I tried the glazed cream donut and didn’t care for it. It was way too much cream for the donut and after two bites I threw it out. I will be back next time I am in town though — the danish looked great and I want to try a pecan roll.

Excellent donuts and pastries, good sticky buns.
Very fair prices.

Traub’s. The best bakery! I love the sticky buns! But they have all kinds of stuff! The parking lot is usually full. The line gets long but that’s cause its good and it goes pretty fast. Especially on holidays! Its the go to spot!

Over the years, the cakes I’ve had from here at various parties are consistently great quality. Last night I picked an iced pound cake up for a gathering at my home, and it did not disappoint.
The butter cookies I picked up really didn’t disappoint. They were a huge hit as well.
And what might be my biggest compliment yet…
My grandmother, who has had many a cake at many a function in her day (I swear my grandmother lives for weddings and birthday parties… well, for that matter whose grandmother doesn’t), insists that only a Traub’s cake may be served at her own birthday celebrations.
If you can impress a grandmother who grew up around South Philly bakeries, then you can impress anyone!
Oh yeah, by the way… what everyone else is saying about the donuts, is the truth. They really are out of this world!
