Mary the original owner would be very disappointed at the state of the bakery now. It went downhill since Sue retired. Employee called the cream filled donuts boston cream to which it is actually called custard. Dry donuts, very little in stock, only thing the bakery has going for itself is the bread.

I just was at Egypt star in Whitehall , which I. have been going there for years . walked in and the young woman behind the counter was talking to a woman who already was served and had her bag . she didn't acknowledge me and just kept talking , I waited patiently thinking they would stop and she would wait on me , but she just kept going on over 5 minUte's . then there was a phone call and another woman older answers the phone and is on it sbout 2 minutes looks at me hangs up and walks away . Neither one acknowledged or asked if they could help me so I left . I am speechless at how rude both of them were.

I was really excited to try this place but was pretty disappointed.I loved the old school feel and the tiny hole in the wall place that not many people can find. Usually places like this are a gem. The container of walnut kiffles were hard, brittle, & dried out. Maybe they were just over baked or I bought a days old batch. I usually get fresh kiffles from the farmers market but I wanted to try these as they looked really good with lots of powdered sugar. The chocolate topped donut filling was great but the donut itself was dried out. Surprising since I came in early in the day so I didn't expect a dried out fresh donut. The cream puff was pretty good as it had the same kind of filling. Finally, the last item as the saving grace, a spinach croissant/danish. That was pretty flavorful and crisp. I always give places at least 2 chances so I might try out a different location next time. I will get some bread and rolls as well b/c it seems the best reviews are those baked goods.

I absolutely love this bakery. The bread is delicious and the cupcakes and cakes are sooo good. They did an amazing job decorating my son's birthday cake and their prices are great especially for great quality baked goods.

Fresh baked goods. Good pricing and great taste. Staff is always welcoming and although it's a small store it's usually busy but not cramped

Stopped into Egypt Star after mass for a breakfast treat. This hidden jewel on Front Street deep in Allentown is a slice of history from days past. The baker warmly greeted us and proudly explained all Egypt Star has to offer. The staff patiently let us choose our treats...donuts and a pecan ring. The baked goods were fresh, and did not disappoint. It is obvious the baker uses high quality ingredients flavored with his love of his craft. Looking forward to next Sunday's trip to Egypt Star!

Today I needed a special cake for a family member. I live in Washington State and my cousin lives in Allentown. Brenda took the time to take my order and make it available this afternoon before they closed. I highly recommend this excellent bakery to do business with. I only wish I lived closer!!!

Grew up in Allentown, and Egypt Star was on our way home from church. We would stop and get a bag full of crullers, and the ones we didn't eat in the car (with powdered sugar flying about) we would have with coffee at home. Just got a bag of Egypt Star crullers, courtesy of a visiting niece who still lives in the Allentown area. Like a wonderful trip back in time (WAY back!). Perfect crullers! (Crullers: Only in Pennsylvania, only in Allentown, only at Egypt Star!) Thanks for the continuity!!

My Irish Pop and Polish Granny lived. in the Ward and would always take me to the Front St store and always would say your breads and baked goods taste like back in the "Old Country". At the time I wasn't sure what they meant but I do NOW. Neuwiler beer had a motto of "Nix Besser".... Well that should also be Egypt Stars motto........."None Better"Since I now live in Whitehall I shop at your Coplay store and (not sure about using names) but the Lady at Coplay is the Best. Always has the time to explain the various "goodies" and makes sure if I have a special order that it's correct and on time....Keep up the Great work!!!!!!!

So delicious! Best donuts around Allentown for sure. They are so fluffy. The frosted cinnamon rolls are out of this world.The lady behind the counter was almost as sweet as the pastries. I don't know how they pack so much goodness in such a tiny store. But I love it!!

Horrible!!! I’ve requested a cake with specifics. I’ve wanted a (2) layer cake with very little frosting. Again, very clear in my cake order. Instead I receive a cake with frosting layer that was more than the cake itself. Cake also was lopsided, very sloppy on how it was made. Overall, very disappointing… not what I was expecting from a bake shop. This looks like something a lay person can do at home. NOT what a professional bake shop product. A mess.

So my husband went here early morning for me because i have been craving fresh donuts and they closed yesterday evening, so the crack of dawn he was there for donuts, maybe 2 hours later he went back and bought whatever they had left. this is my first time and it was great it reminds me of the Easton bakery .
