The Original Mommie Helen’s Bakery

My wife & I were taken to Helen’s bakery on this past Sunday by relatives that live in the area. Their peach cobbler is literally deliciousness on steroids. I grew up in Mississippi around older folks who labored in hot kitchens all day w/​o any AC & their cobblers are on the same level. Also, great peach to cobbler crust ratio.
Their pies are not cheap but when you think about what you would spend for a single slice at a restaurant, the prices then are very reasonable. A must try even if it means driving out of your way to try their peach cobbler! You won’t be disappointed!!!

The Sweet potatoe pie is not the same since Dorothy passaway, the daughter is buying cheaper yams to prosper the profits instead of buying high quality yams. People who purchase for years know how it should look and notice the changes lately.

Absolutely, no doubt, hands down the best sweet potato pie in the inland empire! We tried the sweet potato/​pecan pie and it is to die for! You also have to try The most delicious lemon church cake and cheesecake around! I will be going back to purchase full pies and cakes instead of slices in the future! What a wonderful jewel of a bakery! You can taste the excellence & effort in every bite! Highly recommend this bakery, you will not be disappointed!

The cobbler outstanding, cupcakes wonderful, three different kinds of cake we loved them all plus two oatmeal cookies we love the deserts!!!

I came here on a Tuesday to pick up dessert for a customer meeting. The apple pie was amazing! The crust was light, buttery and fluffy. I definitely am addicted to the apple pie here and will absolutely return!!!

I am sorry to say I stopped in today to try their pies. I bought a peach, Berry and sweet potato.
The peach was good but the berry was very soupy but good flavor.
I brought the Sweet Potato home to my family to try. I make sweet potato pies and I believe they are really good.
We tried theirs: It was like eating a sugar pie and the texture was gritty as if the potatoes were not cooked all the way.
$ 47.00 for three pies very disappointing. Sorry I won’t be back

The Sweet Potato Pie is just soon good. It just melts in your mouth. I’m a fan!

Been here once. Tried the carrot cake and some of the peach cobbler. The cobbler was average, good. The carrot cake was delicious. The prices are a bit high in my opinion.

Everything they make here is delicious. My favorite is the sweet potato pie. It’s better than my mothers recipe (sshh! Don’t tell her). The pecan pie is 10 out 10 as well. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

I love their cupcakes and pastries and they are always so helpful and friendly! I love the atmosphere and enjoy looking at the celebrity pictures on the wall!

Pretty good bakery. The sweet potato pie, peach cobbler, and red velvet cup cakes are a few favs. I was a little disappointed to learn that I was unable to request a peach cobbler extra crust. I was more than willing to pay extra but my request was still denied… besides that I’d certainly recommend this place.

The best bakery in the inland empire hands down. Everyone I recommend this place to, becomes addicts. The best sweet potato pie I have ever tasted.

We happened to be in SB looking for desserts to take to a family dinner. Upon viewing different options on online we came across this GEM. We purchased Roseberry cobbler which was so delicious. We also bought cookies and a single pecan pie slices for the trip home. My only regret is that we didn’t pick up a rewards card because we will be back. This is definitely a place I would recommend. I loved the size options aswell.

This location has completely streamlined the process! They have someone waiting at the front, who then takes you to a different person at the counter depending on if you pre-​ordered, pre-​paid, or are a walk in. They also have a rewards card now, which gives you a free slice of pie for every 6 points you earn.
They are quite known for their sweet potato pie. I personally think it has too much nutmeg, but my family can’t get enough!
Note: They’ve recently added pumpkin pie to the list of options available!

Best Pecan Pie I’ve ever had! EVER! The staff was friendly and helpful, and prices were great for the quality southern pies and cobblers. We loved it so much we ordered a Pecan and Sweet Potato pie for Thanksgiving!

mmmm Thanksgiving is coming! I cant wait to pick up my Mommie Helens pies and cobbler.
They are the best ever hands down. A piece of honey baked ham and a slice of sweet potato pie from Mommie Helen’s mmmm my mouth is watering.

Love, love, the sweet potato pies. I’ve been a customer for many years throughout the 2 Colton locations and could not wait til they reopened in San Bernardino. My live was feeling a void without sweet potato pies. Annually, I get them for Thanksgiving but also throughout the year just as a treat. If ordering for the holidays, pre-​paying is strongly suggested. The pre-​paid line moves so much faster. I’ve stood in both! Also, it guarantees that you’ll get what you came for.
Since the relocation, they’ve expanded the menu. Let me just say EVERYTHING IS DELICIOUS! I’ll always be a fan of the sweet potato pies but little did I know I’d fall in love with the cheesecake and chocolate cake too! First of all, the slices are huge! The strawberry cheesecake is so good! From the graham cracker crust to the last crumb. $ 5 is not bad for such a large portion. So, while I continue with my holiday traditions of sweet potato pies, no doubt in the interim I’ll be picking up these goodies too. While they have a variety of desserts on hand, if going specifically for slices of certain items, I’d suggest calling. They vary. In the past, I’ve had the lemon church cake and 7-​up cake which are also good. My hubby has had the German chocolate cake and pecan pies and he says they are very tasty too. Last but not least, the sugar free peach cobbler is good! My Dad is a diabetic and I’ve ordered it for him… of course I had to sample it. Can’t even tell it’s sugar free! I hope Mommie Helen’s Bakery sticks around for the long run. Great desserts and many people will continue to support!

I LOVE THIS PLACE.
Everything good thing you hear about Mommie Helen’s is true. I have been buying pies from them for over five years now.
I have tried their peach cobbler, sweet potato pie, pecan pie, apple pie, and roseberry pie.
Every. Single. Bite. Makes me shed a tear.
They are well known for their sweet potato pie, but try the other pies, too. The pecan pie is PERFECTION. And the roseberry pie is pure happiness and joy.
I can’t rave about this place enough.
I’d rather pay $ 13.50 for perfectly made sweet potato pie that brings happiness to everyone who tries it, than get a $ 5 crumbly store-​bought pie that makes everyone sad and hate the world.

If you’re looking for DELICIOUS home baked items served with a smile this is your place. I was in town to celebrate a special birthday for a loved one & couldn’t bake something myself but wanted an excellent «home cooked» item. The friendly, very accommodating staff went out of the way to ensure my goal was met! We went over all their delicacies to determine the best surprise and then they made some fresh icing to write «Happy Birthday» on the top! The cake, Earthquake Chocolate with Walnuts & all kinds of ingredients, was a HUGE hit by all! They also sell Sweet Potato and Pecan Pies, a variety of fruit cobblers, and numerous cakes & cupcakes. Support your local family owned businesses not corporate businesses — the food from here makes it easy to do! Highly recommend!

I’ve been buying this cakes and pies at least 7 years now. When they closed the Colton location I was like where am I going to go now? What am I going to do? I’m so excited that they opened again especially because it’s close to the holidays. Thank you for your reopening, now I can save on baking time. Here I come again! Best desserts I’ve had in years.

FYI, Colton location is closed. They are now located at 1440 S E St, San Bernardino CA.
I’ve been coming for years and the taste is still the same. My family and I love the Sweet Potato Pies.
I’ll have my orders in for Thanksgiving and Christmas ;)

I love their 7-​up pound cake and red velvet cupcakes. Those are my favorites! The red velvet cupcakes is pretty moist with a nice rich yummy frosting. They put a lot of frosting on the cupcake. I still have some left over but refuse to throw it away because its so good. Not good for my hips but so yummy! When they shut down a few months ago, I was missing them but I’m so glad they are open now.

Yes… Peach cobbler so good you will slap your mamma! I can’t guarantee your safety but, you could bribe her with the Sweet Potato pie. This place is never a let down. I’ve been coming here for years, took a break, and I won a bet and 2 pies with Cobbler was up for grabs! Damn good bet!!! Mia anyone that thought Mayweather would lose should be slapped by mommie Helen’s…
Oh and she endorsed by Oprah for all the people who feed into that hype!

My co-​workers have been patiently waiting for them to re-​open and said I had to try this!!! So they opened and we had a birthday, so I finally got a chance to try their earthquake cake. All I can say is wow. I do not normally lick the plate, but this time, I did. I also do not normally scrape the box, but this time, I scraped everything and wish I did not have to share. lol. It was seriously delicious. I cannot wait to go try more of their desserts: Sweet potato pie, peach cobbler, Pecan Pie, I want it all! I will update my review as I try more things.

My favorite… Red Velvet Cake! I love everything, but for me this is the one. Just found out they still have the earthquake cake, special order required… I never leave without a sweet potato pie. Yep, the ingredients are the finest, the presentation is eye candy, the service is superior! That Buttermilk Pound Cake mmmm mmmmm mmmmm it’s something about that cake that won’t let me pass it up either. I will not be baking anything for the holidays! Not when I have access to this! Check them out soon, you won’t be disappointed.

Went there to pick up some samples for my daughter’s upcoming birthday party and was pleasantly surprised! I picked up 1 white cake with chocolate frosting cupcake, 1 small pecan pie and 1 small sweet potato. The cupcake was generously made. I mean 2 people can easily share one. The pies were absolutely delicious. I’m originally from the south and have to say the pecan pie reminded me of the ones I grew up eating.
Stop by the shop if you’re ever craving something sweet! You won’t be disappointed.

Everything taste GREAT!
The staff are all very sweet and welcoming every time.
The sweet potato pie is my favorite! The strawberry cheesecake is delightful! I just tried the the lemon cake for the first time and it was delicious!
Over all Mommie Helen’s is #1 for Desserts!

This review is unfortunately not about the wonderful baked goods produced by this bakery, but concerns their customer service, or lack of it. My sister and I stopped by there this afternoon about 3:00 p.m. after reading about it in the Sun. When we entered the shop a chime sounded when the door opened and closed. There were no other customers in the shop and no counter person. We waited for more than 15 minutes, nobody came out to wait on us. We could hear voices behind the curtain to the back of the store, and went and opened and closed the door repeatedly so the chime rang, but nobody showed up. Needless to say we were very angry and disappointed.

AMAZING pies, but definitely not for those on a diet! Between my co-​workers and I, we have consumed the entire menu selection of pies. LOL
Though they may be famous for their sweet potatoe pie do not underestimate the deliciousness of everything else they bake. My personal favorite by far has to be the Pecan Pie! It is perfection, and though I hate Pecan Pies because they are overly sweet, Mommie Helen’s nails it. Coming in a close second is their Red Velvet with pecans on top! But honestly who am I kidding,…I love them all equally! The new space is big and clean and fairly easy to find. I hope they stay in business for a long time!

I’ve reviewed this new business before.
But I feel guilty for not mentioning some things.
First the ladies there are really sweet and welcoming. Helpful and r0eady to please. While I did not like the apple pie… the red velvet cake is to die for. Go for it!
