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.
