★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1They baked us dairy free cupcakes, smash cake, and regular cake all to match my one fish two fish red fish blue fish theme. The cupcakes and cake were hands down the best desserts me and many of my friends have eaten. It was an almost two hour drive to the bakery from our house (oops for not checking the map beforehand) and we plan on making this drive over and over again. Everyone raved about the taste and presentation.They were also super friendly, helpful, and genuine. You will absolutely not be disappointed! Picture of my son enjoying his special first birthday smash cake!
June 23 · heather riosWhoa!Where do I start with this amazing bakery?The owner? The DELICIOUS cupcakes or the to die for cookies??Well, to make it short and simple… Kelly the creator and owner of this bakery is absolutely wonderful, she is educated, kind, & spontaneous. You will leave her bakery with a smile on your face!I absolutely praise this bakery because it’s VEGAN, ORGANIC & CLEAN. You will not find another bakery in Delaware that’s vegan and uses such clean, pure ingredients, let alone, everything taste AMAZING. The cupcakes melt in your mouth and the cookies are so soft they resemble a cake.Kelly also did the cake & cupcake arrangements for my daughters 4th vegan birthday party. We called her a few days before her birthday party and she made it happen even though she was booked!She made an amazing Frozen theme cake & cupcakes for us & nobody could believe they were vegan.I order from this bakery serval times a month as it’s just that worth it!If you have any issues locating the bakery, you just call the number listed and they will gladly guid you to the right place. Thank you Bella’s Cookies for existing!!! 😃
October 10 · Havanna EmmaTop notch bakery! Their products are of the highest quality and are always beautifully prepared. The owner is very responsive and meticulous when it comes to detail. If you aren't a customer already, you should become one!
April 25 · Ed JazzBella's Cookies made us a wonderful 6" wedding cake plus a variety of undetectably vegan cupcakes for our guests. They were beautiful and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone! Kelly was great to work with, detail oriented, and knowledgeable. We couldn't recommend Bella's Cookies enough and can't wait for our next reason to place an order.
May 24 · Amy RobertsThis place is a rare gem! I live in VA and visit family and friends in the coastal Delaware area often — despite not living in DE I had no issue finding Bella’s Cookies to pick up my order. For those of us who don’t have “ the world as our oyster”, so to speak, we do not mind taking the time to make an appointment to pick up special bakes that are as amazing as the cookies and cupcakes I picked up yesterday afternoon! I am not ashamed to say that most of these incredibly delicious treats did not survive our 2.5 hrs. drive back home — as I could not stop eating them while telling my spouse the entire drive home how amazing the cupcakes and cookies are…were! My spouse who has no special dietary restrictions, like myself, and is usually my “normal” blind taste tester also agreed and raved about how moist and delicious the cupcakes were, and the perfectly baked cookies (crisp on outside with a chewy-yumminess on the inside). I have finally found the one!! … not spouse, but bakery, Bella’s Cookies! Thank you so much Kelly Leishear for all your hard work, dedication, and passion while infusing your culinary artistic talents and perfecting the science of baking! I mean, WOW! Had I known the bakes were this delicious, I would have ordered more! Expect to hear back from me very soon, if not today, to schedule another appointment to pick up more of your delicious baked treats!
