Reviews of Bellissima Cakes And Pastries (Bakery)

Tanya Nancarrow

Best pastries I've had outside of Paris! The taste is full flavour, not too sweet, just perfect. Their eclairs are out of the world. Honestly, the best in the region. The staff is professional and always helpful.

Bonnie Schiestel

The cake we ordered looked astounding & was mouth watering delicious. Highly recommend this bakery.

So happy we found this place! We ordered the tiramisu cake for a birthday and it was delicious. On two other occasions, we purchased the mango passionfruit cake and everyone was pleased with it. The cakes are creamy rich and not overly sweet which is what we prefer! The value is very much worth it as each slice holds the delicacy and quality of the bakery. The store also communicates via email very well when pre-ordering cakes, but you can also ask them to reserve a cake for you in morning if you pick it up within the hour.

Had the strawberry Creme swirl cheese cake and my wife had the pecan carmal cheese cake OMG they were amazing we also purchased a number of other tasty goodies!!! We are still to try! The bakery was very clean and the gal who served us was very friendly .... will for sure go back to this bakery and was very impressed after our first visited today.....and if you get 6 pieces there no taxes!!! Sorry took pictures after we ate the yummy cheesecake....

Excellent desserts. I purchased 2 cake pops as an after thought to my order. I only had 5 tarts and if I bought one more item I could save the tax. I couldn't choose between the Vanilla or Chocolate cake pop, so I took one of each. They were the most amazing I had ever had. I ate these on my way home. The tarts were for a girls night and I was bringing dessert. The tarts and Lemon Cheesecake were to die for. With all this Covid-19 I had asked to have each dessert in a separate container. Without a blink my request was granted. Not to mention I had been working outside all day and had to make a quick trip to Home Depot so I looked pretty scruffy. I will definitely be back for more goodies. Thank you for the excellent service.

Tina Lajovic

Pumpkin cheese cake is incredible! So happy I found this place :)

Janet Cox

Beautiful and delicious. I went straight for the butter based almond croissant and eclairs. A complete treat to stumble upon finely crafted, delicious European pastries in a funny little north Waterloo strip mall. The almond eclair was right up there with best pastries ever!

Jenya NB

The best patisserie place in KW. Highly recommended

Dmitry Skakovski

Bellissima is not a usual cake shop, every product it sells is carefully crafted and perfected to look and taste up to the highest standards we rarely see in KW. You can surely tell that this shop sells not only Cakes but Love, and you have to taste one to believe. Take my advise and try one today, you will not be disappointed.

We got the Passion Fruit Mango moose cake and it was amazing. All the cakes look amazing and will definitely try out others. The macaroons are good too, although the strawberry ones are the best. The others don’t really taste like fruit they are supposed to represent. Not sure the lady at the store was having a bad day when we went, but she didn’t really answer our questions politely; was a bit rude. Thankfully the cake was good. Will definitely go again.

The passion fruit macaron was perfection! I went to another macaron place after this & was disappointed. Next time I will be trying more from Beissima

I ordered a gluten free birthday cake for my sister. It was a custom made chocolate with vanilla icing. The cake was moist, delicious, and exquisitely pretty. My husband ordered my birthday cake there as well and it was also amazing. Today I went in for a little treat called the chocolate tear drop, and again, just so worth it!

jordan durbin

Best Cake shop in the area hands down! Owners a wonderful lady!!

asmita kaushal

I ordered The Eclipse cake from this bakery midst of Lockdown. Cake was as delicious as it looked , I would say even better. Shop was closed on the day I ordered the pickup but they still delivered the cake. I would like to order again from this cake shop. It was an amazing experience. Thank you for such a great service.

Ayman Alzayat

We ordered a ukrainian honey cake and it was amazing.

Dave A

Excellent service, amazing products and a lovely owner

Xinning Wu

Best of the best for people who doesn’t like very SWEET pastries. I’m glad it’s in my neighbourhood.

Kira O'Connor

How cute is this cake? The attention to detail was just wonderful! I had so many friends reach out to compliment my birthday cake and ask where I got it. Was so delicious too. We had the chocolate cake with hazelnut icing. The macaroons were so good. We moved to KW area from the GTA and these macaroons were better than a lot of popular GTA shops. Will be coming back for any occasion where cake is needed and macaroons! Excited to try out other desserts as well from here. I picked up my cake on a day where it was pick up only so I couldn't shop for other treats but I can't wait to drop by when they have the display cases filled.

Tiasa Mondol

I had a black forest cake ordered for my brother’s birthday and it was an appropriate choice for the occasion. The cake was moist with ample chocolate shavings and good cherry filling to go along with it. Their mocha mousse cake is next on my list :)

Adam Arpa

"Wow" is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Bellissima. The flavor of the cakes, and the detail & artistry in the decorating are second to none. Each visit I come to the store with an order in mind, but often walk away with something more as items on display are irresistible. I highly recommend the strawberry swirl cheesecake, the Carrot cheesecake, and Chocolate mocha moose cake...to name a few ;)

Felipe Marques Solano

One of the best in town!

Julie Humbert

Best yule log ever! We have been extremely happy with Bellissima's cake on Christmas eve and they have been very nice and reliable during the reservation process.

Esther Avalos

My husband came across this bakery on my birthday and purchased 2 delicious cheesecakes. For my daughter 3rd birthday we decided to give them a chance and ordered a vanilla sponge cake with raspberry buttercream filling, boy was this cake a HIT!! The flavour was unbelievable, everyone asked “where did you get it, please give the details” I will definitely be ordering for many birthdays to come! Thank you keep up the great work, please don’t Ever change anything! Your recipes are devine.ps the price was great also!

Dave H

Live nearby and drive by here daily, stopped in quickly as a last minute resort for a holiday function. I can’t believe what I’ve been missing out on!! I grabbed the white chocolate pumpkin cheesecake and it was nothing short of spectacular. Price was very similar to something you’d find at a grocery store but 10 times better. I won’t be buying deserts from anywhere else! Highly recommend.

Morag Pinheiro

If you want a special cake or just a treat, this is the bakery for you. They made our Grandsons Birthday cake and a Special cake to celebrate my 2nd year cancer free. They were not only beautiful, but were also delicious .

Mathew Evans

Second time here. Still satisfied. Great quality. Go and satisfy your sweet tooth.

Neelam Taj

This is one of the best bakeries in town! I love it mainly because their items are not super sweet, and just about anyone can eat it, including non-sweet lovers. Went for the grand opening and I'm already addicted!

Ognjen Matović

Amazing cakes and service!

Colin Jones

Delicious and location very convenient. TOO convenient!!! ????

Chris Ford

Yummy yummy treats!

Yulia Lepesiy

Excellent desserts and hard to choose - so many delicious goodies. I ordered eclairs and each of cupcakes and, also, slices of honey cake. They were amazing!! I will be back for more. Thank you for keeping up good work during this hard time.

Jean L

Napoleon cake and chocolate rocher were absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to come back !!

Eduardo Andrade

European cafe and fine pastry shop right here in Waterloo. First time at Bellissima and tried their tiramisu. Excellent!!

Anthony Kostin

My parents got this cake custom made for my birthday. It was an unexpected surprise and the cake looked and tasted amazing. I definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for tasty cakes that are made with care and professionalism.

Rosita Masek

I ordered a cake for the first time here on my 39th birthday it was scrumptious. Then we also pre ordered a cake for this mother's day. Definitely gonna order in the future again.

Lovely little bakery with a wide variety of desserts. Good selection for vegetarians as well, just be sure to ask the staff to point out veg friendly stuff. I have had their macarons before and they were okay. Their brownies and honey cake are amazing! Got their chocolate walnut tarts and apple crumble tart (pictured) and they are so GOOD if they are fresh. Definitely one of the best tarts around in the KW area. The lady behind the counter was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional.

David Ashby

We purchased a chocolate cake from Bellissima before visiting our friends cottage and it was a big hit.

Rahaf Alnouri

I love this Bakery it has become my favorite because everything is both tasty and looks gorgeous too, beside when I make an order the cale will always not oy meet my high expectations but has an extra touch of creativity !!

Anita Bahmanyar

Staff is very unfriendly. I just asked them what type of buttercream they use and they jumped at me with their rude attitude. They treated me as if I am stupid and don’t know anything about cakes while I am a professional baker myself. Never going back here!

Ghada Salem

Went last week, while lining up i noticed the sales lady touches her mask and the cashier and served pastries all with her bare hands, no hand sanitizer or gloves between customers!!!!! Very disappointed. When businesses are open in these difficult times they should display better work ethics to gain customers trust in their health and safety specialy if serving food.

valeria kolomiets

It's hard for small businesses to adjust during these times, but this bakery is spacious and always clean (and of course, constantly smelling delicious!) I would definitely recommend trying out their cheesecakes or fresh croissants in the morning!

Rosemary Kubica

We ordered a Black Forest cake and a Mango Cake for a birthday occasion. Both were delicious, moist and very flavorful. I often find cakes too sweet, but these cakes were just the right sweetness. Everyone loved them and we got many compliments, so thank you Bellissima Cakes and Pastries!

Suzy Saraiva

This bakery is a real treat for everyone. Love the treats and the service is amazing!

Megan Scheuring

This is hands down the best dessert place in the area. The owner is super friendly and incredibly talented. I have tried a huge variety of desserts from here and have never been disappointed. I would highly recommend anything with a mousse in it! They also have a great gluten free selection! It is well worth a visit if you are in the area!

Mansi

Ordered a cake for my husband’s birthday for pick up on August 13th. However, when i went there the cake wasn’t ready because somehow dates got mixed up. While ordering the cake other people around me figured and confirmed it was for my husband because 13th August was what was requested. But the owner was nice and did her best to accommodate me said she can have the cake ready in an hour . I was so excited because each time we have gone there for desserts it has been great but when we cut the cake it was very dry and didn’t taste fresh at all. My husband didn’t like the taste and was truly disappointed. It felt like the sponge cake was left sitting our for a long time and hence lost all its moisture. It was a disappointment and we know now for the future!

Agnes E

Drove by to get some goodies few weeks ago wasn’t much left probably cause later in day. Bit pricey for sliced pieces. Got an anniversary cake as gift and the cake was absolutely delicious!!! Beautifully decorated so pretty and more importantly so fresh and tasty!!! Thank you Bellissima!

Edgar Petrov

Friends recommended this bakery during my visit to waterloo. Best European style bakery in the town, better than many I visited in actual Europe. Best Tiramisu ever!!!

Erin ML

So many good options it's hard to pick just one! But highly recommend the banana caramel cake!!

David Stanford

Hands down the most creative cake designs I've seen around town. They also have macaroons and other great desserts, lots of options. Definitely worth checking out!

Edgar Hernandez

Excellent place to buy desserts and order cakes. Lana goes above and beyond! Guests love the birthday cakes we order from her everytime!

James Beck

Hired them to replicate my wedding cake. They did an awesome job.

Shawn Springer

I called after 12:00 noon, having forgotten my wife’s birthday. I asked if they could make me a cake for me to pick up by 5:00pm. They said yes, and asked what kind of cake would I like. Long story short, I pick up the most delicious cake I’ve had in a long long time. My wife who is over the moon happy, taking photos and sending them out to all her friends on Facebook. Bellissima saved my skin with grace and kindness. Thank you Bellissima! I highly recommend this bakery, the cake was not too sweet, moist but not too moist. Overall very high-quality.

Jessica Ilie

I have tried a few bakery places around KW and this is by far the best bakery place with amazing cupcakes and cake pops. The workers are all super nice. I will highly recommend this place if your looking for some good tasting bakery items.

Ruturaj Kalagate

I ordered a birthday cake and Lana made an amazing Eggless cake as per my request. We all really enjoyed the cake which looked amazing and tasted even better.

Andrew Vaio

Fantastic bakery. Phenomenonal tasting baked goods, great owner and staff. My pleasure to support a lovely local bakery.

Darryl Brubacher

Our friend gave us a cake from this place.. best cake I've ever had. Reccomend to anyone!

Yuliana R

Finally ! Lovely European style bakery close to home. We have tried several of their pastries and can't decide which one we liked the best. I feel like shopping there and eating their sweets every day. Everything is so yummy!

Marty White

We have had several delicious desserts from Bellissima. Always the right balance of sweetness and flavour. Cakes and croissants are super yummy. This is our go to for a great dessert and we would highly recommend.

Visited this adorable bakery with my family several times within last few weeks. It’s like an oasis of European style deserts. Everything looks so delicious and like carefully crafted pieces of art. Great variety! We tried many of them. Sooo fresh and mouth watering. I enjoyed the lemon and chocolate cheesecakes, hazelnut Roche. Truthfully, I would eat all of the treats if I could at one time. Their white chocolate raspberry truffle is heavenly. I also had a strawberry cake taken home, and my family was pretty much fighting for each piece of it. We will definitely be returning to this place and ordering their cakes for future celebrations. I saw the owners wedding cakes last time and I think it must take true talent to makes such works of art. Go and enjoy it!!!! You will fall in love with this place and it’s treats right away.

Veronica Tychina

Cute homey place to have a coffee and dessert with a friend. Very beautiful and tasty desserts. I recommend their fruit tart and their fresh eclairs. The other pastries look good too. I just did not try them yet. There is always next time!

Pamela Phillips

I was excited about this new Bakery. My girlfriend and I each purchased two cupcakes. Headed home to surprise our husbands. It was a surprise alright! Three of the cakes were extremely dry and stale. I called the store to advise them, their response was: Okay. Later that night they phoned asking me “ did you call the Bakery regarding a stale cake” my response was; yes. They replayed... next time you come in we replace them. Needless to say my girlfriend and I have never been back.

Shamail “Shae” Asfahani

Ive tried a couple of their desserts. Honey cake for the win

Mandy Beaupre

It was great!

Dana D

Ordered the honey cake and it was amazing!!!! Everybody loved it

Raven

Ordered a Red Velvet cake. It was the most beautiful and tastiest cake I have ever eaten! I highly recommend this bakery. The owner is so helpful and gracious!

Moe S

I’m not going to lie, the cake tastes really good but the service is terrible. Ordered a birthday cake and asked for something specific on the top, the lady ended up making a basic cake and said no one mentioned anything (basically calling me a liar). The attitude was defensive and not friendly. She just brushed it off without trying to clarify the situation. Some advice, sometimes being friendly, listening to the customer, and trying to understand them is enough to satisfy them even if there is an error.

Green Music

I came with my friend a few times on my work break. I have a gluten allergy so I was able to enjoy the gluten free desserts. I have had been to another gluten free place that sadly had stale desserts. Here the owner brings out freshly made desserts throughout the day as they get sold. The ingredients taste natural and fresh. The pastries are so beautifully crafted. Overall I really enjoyed this place. It is a nice place to have a sip of coffee and satisfy your sweet tooth. They have a a variety of desserts from macarons, cupcakes, cheesecakes,and cookies other cakes.

Best cake shop in kw region. Got the mango passionfruit and redvelvet cakes today. They are really awesome. Fresh, Very soft and delicious cakes. Also really good customer service whenever you go to the store. Thanks for providing awesome services.

Joanne S

Needed a birthday dessert quickly in these isolation times. The owner was lovely, so helpful on the phone and then in the store. There is a lovely selection of pastries, a wonderful pick me up treat. Cupcakes were delicious and fun to present. Recommend highly.

Christine McDonald

My husband got my birthday cake from here, and it was the best Black Forest cake I have ever tasted

Sandra Dockeray

We are not really dessert people.. We are converted. The best tiramisu ever.
