Bring your family into our bakery at 421 S Main St to enjoy a fresh coffee or juice paired with our homemade breads and treats baked with love. In 1951, John Pappas and his family came from Greece to America by boat to start their new life. By 1957, John opened what is now known as Geddes Bakery. The bakery got its name from the town of Geddes, where it had originated in the city of Solvay, NY. In 1963, John moved the bakery from Solvay to the city of Syracuse, and the new building was built at 1830 Teall Avenue on the Syracuse north side.

Not just an average bakery. I order pies and Easter bread from here every year. My grandparents love this place and why make pies when these guys are such professionals. Win win for me. Give em a try.

I came in to order a cake and cannolis for my wedding and it was a very good experience. The women who helped me, Michelle, was so nice, easy to work with and helpful. They gave me cakes to taste and they were delicious. I bought some treats to take home to my fiance, and he enjoyed them. Everything was very well priced and I can't wait to get my cannolis for my wedding!

We ordered a birthday cake and picked up a couple of treats for ourselves. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. Everything looks delicious there!

Our family has enjoyed baked goods from Geddes for years. Last week during Lent, we had an idea to get a high quality tomato pie. After realizing Geddes made tomato pie, we tried one. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Best tomato pie we have tried (even from Utica!) One half sheet filled up our party of 3 easily. This will become a family regular from now on. LOVE THAT TOMATO PIE! Forgot to snap pics because it was gone so fast. Next time.

No need to look elsewhere. Geddes Bakery is perfect! I will never understand why someone would entertain the idea of getting a baked good from Dunkin Donuts! The pastries at Geddes are what baked goods are supposed to be. You can taste the fresh ingredients and know that no steps were skipped to speed up the process. Donuts are light, fluffy and airy.

Anything that requires custard. TO DIE FOR! Custard like my grandma used to make. Not only have I stopped in for years for donuts, etc. but I have also used them for large quantity cookie trays for special events. The tomatoe pie and spanikopita are always delicious as well. And the staff are top notch always ready to help, professional.

Geddes is one of the -- if not the -- best bakeries in CNY. This would be five stars if they would realize that people will buy baked goods past 8:00 a.m., and have enough product to last throughout at least half the day. Lack of product availability does not create desire, but rather disappointment.

OK, so it's a cold November afternoon here in Syracuse, the perfect day to make a beef stew! Now nothing goes better with a nice stew then some fresh baked bread, so I decided to take a ride and try this bakery which I had heard about for years. Located right on Main Street in North Syracuse it was easy to find. I went in and was greeted by a friendly young lady who asked if I had been helped yet.

I told her I was not and that I wanted some fresh bread. She asked if I knew about their different selections. I replied I did not and she very nicely pointed out their different types of bread. I asked her if the Italian bread was fresh and she said everything is fresh, but these are still warm. Sold! I also perused the baked cases and there were a lot of nice little treats there. as well.

I saw the cannolis and my mind was made up. Again she very Helpfully pointed out and explained the different kinds. I asked her which was her favorite, and without hesitation she recommended the Ricotta cheese. Sold again! Prices were extremely reasonable, everybody was friendly, and for 4 o'clock on a Friday afternoon it was busy which was a definite good sign. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other bake treats. Thank you Geddes bakery!

Fantastic bakery, everything was delicious and fresh. The only bakery I've ever seen with a drive through. We will be going back.

Geddes is a timeless classic. If you are looking to treat and indulge yourself, then this is the place to go! All items are fresh and made with quality ingredients and you can clearly taste the difference between Geddes baked goods and big box store bakeries. Don't waste your money elsewhere!

Another place that I have seen a thousand times, but never actually went there. For some reason the outside blue color didn't attract me in. I know that sounds weird, but I'm a visual person. We had a birthday we needed to get a cake for and my gf highly recommended we come here. I'm so glad I listened because they were fantastic! Right when you walk in you are greeted with an entire glorious collection of deliciousness.

They have just about everything you could want and then some! We decided to go with the lemon raspberry cake and have them write a birthday message on it. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that the cake didn't last ten minutes at the party. We had gotten cupcakes from another place and only half of those were touched. They were able to get the cake ready for me within two days and the price was fantastic. It was 1/3 of the price of the cupcakes we got from somewhere else. I will definitely come back here next time!

This is the yummmiest bakery! The pizza pie is awesome and the baklava is to die for. Their breads are outstanding as well as the cannolis. You must stop here while In north Syracuse don't just drive by you'll regret it!

Wonderful little bakery the staff was all very friendly and helpful and the sweets are all super delicious and taste fresh made! Baklava is out of this world I would recommend it if trying nothing else from this place it was perfectly made. The cappuccino was alright but it was one of those machines not homemade. Quaintly decorated and cozy, did I mention the smell is amazing the second the door swings open, you'll want to pull your mask down to enjoy a whiff while you're in there!

Great chocolate half moon cookies. Also great pies and almond raspberry pasta shots. They also do take orders. Update I have a new favorite their Lobster Tails a creamy filled treat with a flaky pastry crush and a drizzle of chocolate. They have new hours(see photo) Now closing at 6pm Tuesday through Saturday instead of 7pm.

I hate to give a bad review because in the past we've enjoyed many of their cookies, donuts and cannoli. But last week when I stopped in to pick out a cake and have them decorate it for a 50th birthday party, they came out of the back room with a poorly decorated cake. This was after I asked if they could fix it. They should have been embarrassed to send out such a unprofessionally decorated cake. It appears some staff members need training on cake decorating. I was hoping the taste of the cake would make up for its appearance. Unfortunately not! VERY disappointed!

Stopped by the drive-thru today just to buy some custard puffs. The girl told me that they don't have custard puffs. What a shame.

It's like heaven for your eyes as you walk in the door. I almost became diabetic just looking at the sugary goodness. The staff is super friendly and very patient as you ogle all of their pastries.

What a total nightmare stopped to get bread and they have a 5 dollar minimum for cards ok that's fair I say just run it for 5. They can't I need Pick other stuff for the love of God I know it cost businesses to use machines and I was willing to pay 5 bucks for my bread but instead I had to drive down the street Minimums on credit cards is fine just be willing to round up if the customer will pay Lame

If heaven had a smell I would think it would smell like this place. The bear claws are awesome. It has a almond paste in it. Yummm.

Got the baklava and an apple fritter! So good! Husband got the shortbread cookie and canoli, he said they were great too.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! It takes someone with an iron will and discipline of an ancient eastern mystic to not walk out of there one of everything. Everything is so good. I have had many cakes from there. So, when it came to our own wedding, it was a no brainer where we were getting our cake from. I am actually glad I live a few miles away. If I lived any closer, I would be twice the size I am now. Geddes Bakery is awesome!

I have going to the Geddes Bakery for several years now. I love all their almond paste cookies/pastries. Their half moon cookies are also a treat, especially the chocolate ones. I have enjoyed their apple fritters. They had apple chunks in them. Their blueberry pie is flavorful with a good crust. The cheesecake was okay but nothing to write home about.

I grew up in NYC and this one just wasn't as good. I think their breads are alright but you can get ones at Wegmans that are as tasty. I will say the banana cake is the best I have tasted and the rum cake is to die for.

I keep on coming back for their baklava - haven't found anywhere else that beats it! My kids love picking something out from here as a treat. Their tomato pie is awesome - my kids even like it (haha you're eating tomatoes)! They even have a drive thru, but c'mon, the fun is going in and looking at the goodies! So unless, you know exactly what you want, go in! Convenient when I just want the usual and have little kids in the car.

Incredible bakery complete with gelato, a wide range of traditional Greek desserts and American favorites as well. These guys did our wedding cake and it was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend visiting Geddes Bakery.

Holy cannoli, I'm such a fan of Geddes Bakery! (So cheesy, I know. I couldn't resist.) Stopped by Geddes Bakery last Saturday afternoon while exploring Main Street. I've never been the biggest cannoli fan, but, oh my, Geddes Bakery's cannolis--especially the ricotta version with loads of chocolate chips--were fantastic. My boyfriend bought a dozen assorted cannolis at a totally reasonable $1.75 each to bring to his family birthday party the following day.

Who were we kidding?! Only 7 cannolis made it to the party. Here, as at most bakeries, more substantial items are each sold at a flat price while the smaller inexpensive Italian cookies are weighed in boxes to determine pricing. The Geddes price is an even $10/lb. According to the website Geddes Bakery specializes in "Wedding Cakes, Italian Cookies and Pastries, Breads, Tomato Pie, Baklava, Cream Pies and Crust Pies, Bagels, Canolis, Pasta Chots, Tsoureki Sweet Greek Bread, and so much more!" Also, I noticed signs in the bakery indicating that customers should be sure to place their Easter bread orders early. Mmmm.makes me miss my grandma's Easter bread.

I didn't see it during our visit, but apparently the bakery has a drive-thru on the side of the building. Awesome. Really liked Geddes Bakery and will certainly return during future trips to 'Cuse.
