About This Spot

Nestled within Brunswick’s everyday hum, Great Scott's Bakery and Coffee greets you like a familiar neighbor’s porch—warm, inviting, and unpretentious. The moment you step through the door, the air carries the gentle weight of fresh-baked memories, where time slows just enough to savor life’s simple pleasures. It’s not a rushed spot, nor is it a showplace; instead, it quietly offers a steady rhythm of genuine connection and thoughtful craft.

The space itself feels lived-in and welcoming, where regulars and newcomers alike pause to share smiles, stories, and the subtle comfort that comes with knowing someone takes care in their work. Behind the counter, the owner’s approachable presence adds a layer of authenticity, making you feel like your order isn’t just another transaction but part of a continuing conversation.

Here, bakery classics intermingle with local heritage, gently whispered through creations like delicate cassata cakes and playful twists on cupcakes that carry hints of tradition and surprise. These treats aren’t served up as mere confections but as moments—whether it’s the quiet joy of a blueberry cassata slice enjoyed alongside a thoughtfully brewed coffee or the delight of a custom cake crafted with care for a special occasion.

What makes Great Scott’s truly special isn’t only the understated perfection of its pastries or the inviting aroma of freshly ground beans. It’s the way the space holds a small but meaningful role in the community, a testament to patience, kindness, and craftsmanship—a place where customers feel seen and understood, even amid the busy pace of everyday life.

For those who stumble in curious or return with familiar cravings, there’s a comforting sense that you’ve found more than just a bakery—you’ve discovered a quiet refuge for connection, sharing, and savoring the heartfelt moments baked right in.

I ordered 10 cassata cupcakes way later than I should have….. Scott took care of me, reminded me I needed a week out but he would do what he could do…. Had them ready on time and no other baker could beat his… such a great delight that we have this guy in our community…..everyone stop by this joint… you won’t believe what you have been missing…….

In the area so went here because I wanted to try cassata cake (a unique cake to Cleveland originating from Sicily). Owner was there and he was nice and straight to the point with me and my friend’s order. When we entered, there wasn’t any customers. We had the strawberry cassata cake slice (he also makes a whole cake version and has a blueberry cassata pie version), the lemon and blueberry coffee cake, the buttermilk cinnamon muffin, and his grandmother’s recipe of Old world kolaczki (it’s like a crumble cake but with brioche as the cake with filling - we got the cheese but there is a raspberry filling too). We had the option to have the pastries warmed and we did. All. Were. So. Delicious! Do come early if you want more of something because he does run out and the line got long after we ordered! I recommend this bakery. Edit: I forgot to mention that I wanted to take some of the slices of cassata cake home but he sold out. I plan to return to get some for my family if I’m ever back in the area.

They make the BEST Cassata Cake I’ve ever had. Better than Rito’s, that just closed and Catalano’s on the East side. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys a genuine Italian cake that is perfect combination of fresh strawberries and custard and not overly sweet. Just melt in your mouth delectable.

This place is a local gem. Today I got a custom pumpkin cake for my husband's birthday. It's beautiful and absolutely delicious, and they even accepted a goofy special request I had. The owner is a real good guy and gives back to his community. Their case is always loaded with goodies and I'm slowly working my way through their staples. Their lattes are great, too. I've loved everything I've tried!

I called ahead and they put a pie aside for me. On impulse while in the store I purchased two slices of Cassata cake. The food was amazing as was the customer service. I will definitely be back. Seriously the best Cassata cake!

Amazing cassata cake. Fresh sliced strawberries, perfect crumb in the cake…and the whipped cream/buttercream filling and frosting had no trace of the usual bitter bakery frosting. It was my first time trying any of their baked goods and I will definitely be a future customer.

Great coffee shop and bakery with some wonderful pastries between Brunswick and Valley City in DrugMart plaza on 303. Got there 18 minutes after opening and all of the cookies were gone. Will definitely be back to try. Support small businesses.
