How to write helpful bakery reviews

Recently, Google Moderators @VasT and @InaS wrote abouttheir experience visiting three different bakeries in their area. I loved learning more about their experiences at each one and wanted to offer a few tips for writing your own bakery reviews on Google Maps.

Tell others about the menu and its specialties

Is there a variety of both sweet and savory treats? Do they bake the best bread in the area? Do they serve up a unique concoction everyone should try at least once? In your reviews, give others recommendations on what to order.

Don’t forget to mention the beverage options

Some bakeries serve coffee that’s just as good as their croissants. At other places, it’s best to get your caffeine fix elsewhere. Tell others what they can expect from the drinks you’ve tried.

Add information about options for people with dietary restrictions

If the bakery serves vegan, gluten-free, or dairy-free options, be sure to mention that in your review. Use hashtags to make this info even easier to find.

Describe the seating options

Some bakeries have tons of seating inside while others have none at all. Let others know whether they can expect to take their orders to go or not.

Add a helpful tip

When’s the best time to pick up your baked goods? Do you need to order custom cakes two weeks in advance? Include any advice that could help a first-time customer.

Snap a great photo for your review

Use these tips to take amazing photos the next time you’re presented with a can’t-miss dessert.

What’s the best bakery review you’ve ever written? Link to it in the comments below!

I do not know, if this is my best baker review, but it is my second newest.

Otherwise i would have to search nearly in 200 reviews tonight.

Editing of my comment was not possible, whenever i wanted to insert the link, the text scrolled quickly up.

Thanks so much. Even though, I’m one of those people with dietary restrictions due to food allergies, I never thought about commenting about it when I write my reviews. This tip will definitely improve the quality of my reviews.
