Servatii Pastry & Cafe

This is a weekly stop for me and my family. I love the variety of breakfast options and pastries. We originally started coming here for the donuts but slowly started buying more and more of their breakfast sandwiches.
Friendly staff. Easy to take kids too. Consistently great food and fresh donuts. The atmosphere could use a little updating, but for weekend breakfast stop, it’s fine.
Recommendations: ham, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich. Grogg coffee and a plain cake donut.

This is a bakery in the front of the store and a café in the back. This is a big draw for the senior population. They have a four different types of quiche. An amazing assortment of sandwiches served on their delicious pretzel breads, rye breads and sourdough breads. No fountain soda available but bottles of Pepsi products and water and tea. The sandwiches do not come with chips, they are extra. They have numerous locations in the Cincinnati area.

I love this bakery and café. My wife and I get all our cakes from here. They are friendly, helpful and always do an excellent job with the decorating of any cake. We also got food for a big party from here a few times and the food is excellent with an affordable price. I am a huge fan of their sandwiches and pasta salad, it is really tasty. If you are looking for a great place to order a cake, cater a lunch or just stop in for a quick bite to eat, this is a great place to go.

I’ve only had take-​out from Servatii and mostly the cheese pocket. To a British person, this is breakfast heaven. It’s so light and fluffy and tasty! Worth a visit for a slice of cheese pocket alone. We even took a bit of it back home to Scotland with us last time — 2 day old cheese pocket, having travelled 5,000 miles was still amazing!

Love, love, love this bakery and café. The coffee is amazing, and the sweets are the perfect companion to the coffee.
What I love most about this place is how kind everyone is there not just to me, but to my kiddos. My daughter who is three is always offered a free treat, and she loves the huge fish tank in the middle of the place. She walks around and smiles at all the customers, and the employees love seeing her enjoy herself.
I am a big fan of any place that treats families kindly, and doesn’t just try to get them out the door as soon as possibly. My kids and I love to visit this place as a treat to ourselves when we need it. I recommend this place to all families in the area!

I always forget about this place, but am always well satisfied when I do remember. No ambience but a really good lunch. I had the roast beef on championship bread sandwich. Very good and the bread is soft and meaty. After all they are a bakery.

Servatii has some of the best looking breads and desserts I’ll ever see, but I’m not reviewing those. Their lunch and breakfast options are what I care about!
Breakfast — Very few places offer non-​pork meat options with their breakfast menu, thankfully Servatii’s does, and for the cost (less than $ 5) what you get is plenty — fruit, sandwich, tea cookies. I don’t always have time to stop in the morning, but I’m always glad when I do.
Lunch — Same as above with regards to quality of food, it’s great, the sandwiches are delicious and the salad options are wonderful. However, the cost is definitely too high, I appreciate that they’re delivering a better product than the Jimmy Johns down the street, but I don’t feel it’s worthy of a $ 3 – 4 increase. That, plus the café closing pretty early knocks them down to a solid 3.75 stars, rounded up: P

Food is always amazing. I mostly go for sliced pretzel bread by the bag and their beer cheese, to go. My only complaint is a couple of the older women behind the counter are down right mean and have cost this place 2 stars in this instance. After being waited one of them, my comment to my wife as we were leaving was, «Man, if she is here… who’s running hell?».
Food is still worth it though. :)

I went to Servatii in Anderson Township last weekend, and it was delicious (as usual). We purchased soups and sandwiches as well as cookies. Everything was awesome (especially the mushroom brie soup!). The service was great as well. It is always a treat to come to Servatii.

Great cookies and amazing sandwiches, perfect for breakfast or dinner. The atmosphere is nice and the people are friendly.
However, it does take quite awhile to get food.

I was tired of the same lunch spots and while driving to work this morning I spotted Servatii’s and remembered the pretzel bread sandwiches! That was all I needed. I had Servatii’s on the brain the rest of the day!
This Servatii’s has a café as well as the bakery. Of course you have to go to the back and pass all the bakery goods to order from the café. You just have to keep focused and not linger at the pastries too long. I ordered the hot ham sandwich on sesame pretzel bread. Also, as a treat, you get 3 tea cookies! Can’t get much better than that.

Servatii has a great selection and this location even has a nice sit down area and deli. We came right after stopiing by Busken Bakery so I did not go as crazy as I usually would have. They have way more than Donuts, Cakes, every pasty imaginable, it took awhile to take it all in. I just bought the staples I could not leave without and while it was all very good I preferred Busken up the street. It really depends on what you are in the mood for, Servatii is a bit more high end with a larger selection, Busken more home made just straight GOOD! I would say do the same as I did and go to both!

Great atmosphere to grab a donut and/​or pastry, some coffee, & sit down and have a good conversation with whoever. Or, run in, tell them what you want, and you’re on your way. Excellent service. Excellent pastries/​donuts/​etc. Reasonably priced. All around good place to visit.

Less than a week after visiting the Servatii Pastry Shop & Deli in Symmes Township, I went into another local Servatii shop. Even though I liked the Shops at Harper’s Point location (Symmes), I was very impressed with the latest Servatii I found in Anderson Township. The store was very big, at least twice the size (but probably bigger) of the other one, and it wasn’t a pastry shop and deli, but instead a pastry shop and café.
The large Servatii was very nice too (there was even an aquarium with 10 or 12 fish) and spacious, although I don’t know if it ever gets crowded enough in the morning or around lunch time to fill up most of the seating. I just grabbed one of those smiley face cookies for 85 cents, but they have a ton of other great pastries/​baked goods and food items just like the one I reviewed (and went into more detail about in the review).
I saw a Best of Cincinnati sign, and although the City Beat award may have been for all Servatii shops, it might as well have been for this one because of how nice it was (and the actual yummy desserts and lunch foods). The employees were fairly friendly too, and the many desserts in the display case looked delicious. Stop on in if you are planning a big event (birthday, wedding) or are just craving a cookie or donut, and you won’t be disappointed.

Servatii’s is a classic local pastry and deli chain. They are famous for their cookies and pasties but also offer deli selections.
I had never been to this particular location until the other day. They had fresh bagels, donuts, pretzels, and pastries ready for the eating! I tried one of their lime cheesecakes an it was melt in your mouth delicious, literally. The cheesecake part was so creamy and soft. The deli section serves sandwiches and stuff, but that’s not why I go to Servatii’s. The fun is in the sweets!
At this location there were a few tables with some elders playing card games. I thought that was so cute! It’s nice that they have a comfy place to come to play cards!
