Samosky's Home Bakery

So our travels led us here to try the paczki which I read Cleveland is known for and it did not disappoint. The paczki was airy and fluffy and the fillings sweet and just so good!! This place is located on the outskirts of Cleveland but must stop by as it is a family-owned place, with very friendly people. We also tried other goodies and all absolutely delicious. And you cannot beat the price. We were shock how much goodies we left with for the price.

I bought a Nut strudel and cupcakes. Cupcakes was good. Nut strudel went up in price a lot. The nut Strudel was not fresh and the dough was a different recipe not the same but not good. I had few friend over no one liked it I had to throw it out. I do not know for sure if they have a new owner. A lot of the goods wear different then Usual. I went there once a week to buy Strudels not anymore. Go back to your old Recipe or you’ll lose more customers.

I went back home for my sister's passing and was happy to see that in spite of all the COVID stuff that they were still open and their wares were selling like hot cakes. I recently moved to NC and asked if they shipped and they said yes. Fast forward a couple of months and I called to make an order and the "new" owners weren't even interested in shipping and told me it would cost more to ship than what the items were worth. ??????????? Wow, sounds like the kids took over and don't want to be bothered. Or, the new owners can't keep up. Sad. My BIL lives right around the corner, I guess I'll see if he can ship me something. Maybe I'll get lucky and visit in the next few months and they'll be open and then I can share this review directly with them. So much for wanting some "feel good" bakery from home.

I hate to pile on here, but the recent negative reviews are accurate. The new owner keeps trying to claim on here that they are using the same recipes as the previous owner, but the taste and texture of their strudels and kolachkis are not even close to what they used to be. Anyone who has purchased them recently can attest to that. And for the new owner to say that we should blame the president for their increase in prices? Pathetic. Leave your ignorant political views off of here and focus your attention on improving your baking skills.

Not sure what happened to the strudel here but they are horrible. The cheese strudel is chalky and the nut strudel was so dark and dry it tasted like sugar free. The dough on them & the size is an embarrassment to the bakery. Been a customer for years but doubt I will be back. The prices for what they give you is outrageous. The 4.7 star review is from the old Samosky bakery. Not the new owners. Don't be fooled!

This is NOT the same bakery I have gone to for years! Went Easter Saturday to pick up my usual order of strudel and nut roll. The cherry strudel dough was cracked and they did not make lamb cakes any more. They are round cakes - it was ok . The pastry cases were completely empty when they used to be filled with all kinds of Easter delights. I asked if everything was the same recipes for the nut roll and strudel. They said yes -Not even close! I will be going to one of the other wonderful Parma bakeries next year because Samoskys is not the same! M. Corsi
