Last year for my daughters 2nd birthday I called and ordered a Frozen cake. I said I wasnt picky just make it frozen. When I picked it up it was a cute marble cake with purple and blue mixed icing and a frozen topper. (Any bakery could do that so this isnt anything great) but I was really happy with it and it was adorable and the price was fitting. So this year for my daughters 3rd birthday I ordered 40 cupcakes. I told them that I wasnt picky on the design so she asked if I wanted plain cupcakes or the other kind. She explained the other kind had different colored icing and rings on top. The plain was fine. But I was specific on the color. I wanted 20 yellow/white cupcakes and 20 chocolate. I wanted pink sprinkles on one and orange sprinkles on the other. All with whipped white icing. I dont like chocolate and about a handful of the kids dont like chocolate which is why I wanted white icing on them all and thought the difference with the sprinkles was a good idea to be able to tell which ones were chocolate and which ones were yellow. Itd just be easy to say ok kids the chocolate cupcakes have the orange sprinkles and the yellow/white cupcakes have the pink sprinkles. I had my cousin go pick them up for me and when I got them they had yellow and pink granted sugar sprinkles on them ! Yellow!?! Then, they didnt even seperate the chocolate cupcakes from the yellow/white cupcakes. I called and explained my daughters party is pink and orange. She explained that on the paper it says pink granted sugar and yellow granted sugar. What!! First off, I never knew that they were called granted sugar. I just called them tiny sprinkles and I was picturing regular sprinkles when I explained it to her all I said was "sprinkles" so dont tell me I specifically said "yellow granted sugar" the difference of regular sprinkles and granted sugar sprinkles wasnt even the problem anyway. The problem is they used yellow instead of orange. So now Im going to show up to a pink and orange birthday party with pink and yellow cupcakes. Some chocolate cupcakes had yellow granted sprinkles and some had pink. I explained that I had a pink table and an orange table at the party and one was a chocolate table and one was a candy table. Depending on the cupcakes if the chocolate cupcakes had the orange sprinkles then obviously the orange table would be the chocolate table.. And the the pink sprinkles cupcakes wouldve went on the pink table. So there was quite a bit planned for these cupcakes and all she could tell me was to call monday. I explained to her that the birthday party is tomorrow (Sunday) so what would calling Monday help do. I had 40 cupcakes that I needed re done on a Saturday night at 5pm. Im left stuck with them. No bakery is open on a Sunday and they refused to do anything. They didnt even offer for me to bring them back to scrape the icing and yellow granted sugar off and re-do the icing and put orange granted sugar on them. I wouldve been happy with that atleast! My family and I are from northside and use this bakery for all of our kids birthday parties which we have 3 more birthday parties in February alone. We will not use them again. Ill pay $100 for 40 plain cupcakes before I order anything from this place again. They messed up and I didnt get a sorry or anything, I got an oh well, on the paper it says yellow granted sugar so call Monday. How is it my fault she wrote down yellow granted sugar instead of orange sprinkles!? My family and I will take our business elsewhere. People mess up and I get that, but to not try to fix it or not care because its Saturday night and you get off work in 20mins is ridiculous and they will lose alot of business.

May 24th 2016. My dad purchased me a cake from here for my birthday May 24th. I love cake I mean like I love cake can eat it everyday. I have had Donuts from the shop and cookies but never cake. This cake was so f****** nasty and dry so dry. I had never tasted the cake this dry. And my dad eats anything he even said its dry. My mom trys to take the cake back May 25th. It literally only had two little pieces cut out. They would not give us a refund just a store credit. Do not get a cake from here. Do not this s*** is horrible. I dont even want cake for the next year. And I normally eat cake at least once a week

Well as usual my recent visit was Great. I introduced my Grandson to these Jelly Donuts about 1 MONTH AGO- hes 18 months old and he gobbled down 2 of these without any hesitation. He is the 4th generation of my family to enjoy these donuts along with everything else from Bonominis. It started with my Grandparents, parents, myself, my children and now my grandchild. Oh and I live about 80 miles from this place- I try to time my trips to Cinti to allow a Visit to Northside and this ICON of Great Gastronomy. PS, These are the only Jelly Donuts he has EVER eaten. I think Bonomnis hooked him.

I Ordered A Marble Cake With Whipped Icing For My 16th Birthday. To Begin With The Cake Was Dry And The Icing Was Nothing Like What I Expected Neither Was The Cake Which Was More Yellow Than Anything. This "Bakery " Came Highly Recommended And I Was HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED AND UNSATISFIED With The Results. Second , When We Went To Order My Cake There Was A Fly On The Cheesecake That Was On Display In The Case (Ewww). I Would Recommend Going To Wal-Mart ( Which My Bestfriend Did And It Was A Delicious Cake With The Right Icing ) To Get Your Cake Rather Than This.

This place is fantastic. I have been eating here since the mid 1980s. The chocolate cupcakes are my favorite - not to rich. I can eat a half dozen at time :) The family favorite is peanut rolls. Only one other place in my life has a place had such great peanut rolls (Bugsys Bakery on Peete St back in 60s). The danish are great, the cakes are great. Anyone who says anything else, dont know what theyre taling about. Anyone who has lived in Clifton, Northside, College Hill, NCH, etc., knows Bonomini. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED *****

I have never had ANYTHING that Is bad here! From the donuts, to the cakes, breads, rolls, Paczkis, and meringue coffee cakes, there is nothing that is not worth the trip...for us it is all the way from Dayton! The employees are helpful and friendly and always willing to take the time to answer questions. Another plus is that they are reasonably priced for what you get. Definitely a hidden gem in Northside!

They have a sign out front that says "Bakery" and thats what it is. Their plain glazed yeasted donut is a solid contender, but the real star IMHO is the cake donut "dunker" that tastes like it is made with buttermilk. Juicy and tangy with crispy edges. Top notch.

Old style mom & pop urban american doughnut and bakery shop, too much sugar for me but once in a while, hey you gotta get a doughnut. A neighborhood favorite theyve been in business for generations.
