I Loved the Sample Box of Tastykakes that I purchased! :)
May 10, 2024 | By Joy P Mitchell
The Sample Box of Tastykakes that I bought from the Pennsylvania General Store was a perfect gift. It had all the goodies that I remembered buying when I grew up back East in Philly! I thought that it was a perfect gift for the person I bought it for out here in Tucson, AZ. I told her that it was a gift of goodies from my hometown! I loved that little sample box of tastykakes and I will order it again!!! :) Maybe next time I'll add the soft pretzels as well along with the peanut chews!!! :) Thank you Pennsylvania General Store for keeping my memories of the yummie treats I use to buy as a kid growing up in Philly alive!!! :)
Owner Response: This is music to our ears, thank you for sharing your heartfelt memories with us! Give our Customer Care team a call and we'd be happy to ship you a Philly Picnic Party!

For the price of gift box I expected boxes of snacks not individual packs.
Owner Response: We take pride in filling our PGS word box with 13 individual packs of Tastykakes including some of the most popular varieties! If you'd like to send full boxes, we can do that! Check out our Tastykake Tower!

Birthday Surprise
Feb 3, 2024 | By Sarah
I orders the Tastykake Sampler Box for my husband for his birthday. He was born in Pennsylvania and has a special love for all things Tastykake. The sampler was a nice surprise giving him a good variety of Tastykake options. We received it in a very timely manner, was packaged nicely, and was a huge hit! My son has already expressed he wants one for his birthday!
Owner Response: Thank you Sarah for sharing your heartfelt memory with us and for shopping PA's great products! We're so happy to have a customer like you!

A great way to help your friends and family that have moved or retired in another state. My brother had years in his eyes when he received this package. I will continue to send other products all year long.
A Taste of Philadelphia
Aug 22, 2023 | By Diane
I sent the Sampler Box to my sister for her birthday. We grew up in Philadelphia. Tastykakes were a treat from the corner store. She was thrilled with the quantity and selection. I have a photo of a Chocolate Junior with a birthday candle in it!
The service was excellent. AND...she loved the box!

Best tastykakes ever
Aug 26, 2022 | By Mary Wagner
I absolutely love tastykakes. I grew up with them when I lived in PA. So glad I can order them and still have that old time taste I grew up with. Wish they sold them up here.
Good Products, Bd Delivery
Jul 23, 2022 | By Tennis C. Corley
Products are very good but delivery sucks, very poor. Arrived 2 days past request delivery date.
Owner Response: Thank you for your orders! You ordered twice this month and they both arrived in 2 - 3 days, the Tastykake Sampler arrived on a Saturday. Packages to NC are a 2 - 3 day time in transit by ground service UPS. In the future if you'd like them to arrive overnight we can most certainly send your package that way. Many thanks again for being a loyal customer!

Great variety
Jan 15, 2022 | By Ann M Jani
Growing up in PA, my husband and I have great memories of Tastykakes. Although we have lived in Maine for many years, we still crave Tastykakes. The Sampler Box had many different and delicious Tastykakes. Thank you!

I purchased the Tastykake Sampler Boxes for my grandsons who are in college. The boxes arrived for Christmas and both boys loved the Tastykakes. I will definitely order something from the catalog again.

My daughter now lives with her family in Wisconsin and enjoys sharing this taste of home with her extended family. The Butterscotch Krimpets were a big hit with my grand children!

This package was a trip back in time for me. I was raised on Tastykake. Thank you!
Great Gift
Dec 23, 2021 | By Linda
Great gift especially for someone who has moved to another area and no longer has access to Philly favorites. Pennsylvania General Store is also great for those who still live in the area and just love everything Philly! Very pleased with the service provided and package delivered on time.

Great Treats
Aug 29, 2021 | By Terri Sinclair
I loved receiving my Tastykake sampler box this week!! Not only was the packaging really nice--loved the red ribbon!--but opening it up and seeing all those great little treats just made my day. I'm hoarding them now, savoring each one and no, I'm not sharing!! Thanks so much!!
Owner Response: Live your best life, Terri!!
Finally

I left my home city of Philly 54 years ago. FINALLY, after all those years, I now have a place to order exactly what I want. The ordering and shipment went perfectly.
Thank you
Yummy!
Aug 20, 2021 | By Tammie Lou
I have purchased this tower several times and my family loves it. Since I moved from Jersey, I miss Tastykakes. PA General made it possible to get them here in Wyoming. I have given these towers as gifts for birthdays, Christmas, and other occasions. Everyone loves them! Thanks PA for providing a fun way to enjoy our Tastykakes!
Good
Jun 6, 2021 | By Jeanne
Products are always good. On this last shipment, however, I did not receive any shipment notification nor could I track the order. The gift was a surprise so I did not want to call the recipients to see if it was delivered.
Owner Response: Thank you for your feedback. My apologies that tracking information was not sent. The tracking number comes directly from a UPS email address. I apologize, UPS emails sometimes end up in spam. We are always happy to find and email you that tracking number as well. Thank you for your business!

Gifts from PA
Jan 4, 2021 | By Tracy
I always send my brother's family gifts from PA since they now live in Virginia. I would always purchase and pack Tastykakes and mail them. When I saw your Tastykake Sampler Box, I knew it would be a hit and it was. I also sent the Smokehouse Sampler. Great gifts! Super fast shipping, I ordered three days before Christmas planning on delivery between the holidays and they received it Christmas Eve.

Cute gift box
Dec 10, 2020 | By Nia Dawson
I bought a Tastycake sampler box for my mom for her birthday. We have Tastycake in MD, but I thought the sampler box was a cute gift idea to go along with the tea kettle I bought. She loved the box presentation and it Dario her sweet tooth! I'll be buying again for other family members for the holidays!

Iconic Treats- Tastykakes
Nov 19, 2020 | By Harriet

It Brightened His Day
Oct 30, 2020 | By Anna Marie Ennis
My brother is a Philly transplant to southern California. He is ill and will probably not get back here again. A box of TastyKakes was a real bright spot for him as it brought back memories of our childhood and how much we loved (and still do) those treats. This is the second time I have sent him a box from the PA General Store, and I am sure it won't be the last. Thank you.
Owner Response: We're so glad we could contribute to that bright spot for your brother. Thank you for your continued business.

Love My Cakes
Oct 1, 2020 | By Suzzie Byron
As a former Philadelphian living in Florida, I sorely miss my Tastykakes. The stores here are supposed to carry at least 3 types of Tastykakes, but sadly they do not. I was so delighted to find this store online and remember my trips to The Reading Terminal as well. I have now ordered twice in the last few weeks and am thrilled at the quality and timely delivery of your products. I an ready to order again and again.
Happy Memories
Sep 13, 2020 | By Susan Gerhardt
I sent this package to a granddaughter who actually is in a dorm at RIT for freshman year, first semester. When I asked her what I could send along, Tastykake was her immediate response. Her home always has been in NewYork, and I have been sending Tastykake treats for years, especially the holiday varieties. She is wishing for Witchy Treats and Coconut Gobblin Cakes. I hope to see them soon.
Perfect Gift...
Aug 28, 2020 | By Jean Rowley
Awesome gift, shipping speed & amazing customer service!
Great gift for professionals
Aug 14, 2020 | By Matt
As the director of marketing & business development for a law firm, I bought 10 of these gift baskets for professional referral sources. In light of COVID, we were looking for something that had fewer touchpoints, like a basket of popcorn or candy. This gift was perfect since it was individually wrapped items, still somewhat of a 'sweet treat,' easy to unwrap and consume, plus people are familiar with the brand. It also helps more Pennsylvania businesses during these uncertain times. A great corporate gift, but probably a great gift for anyone as well.
My in-laws did a jig when they received their package!
Aug 8, 2020 | By Nancy Vargas
My in-laws relocated to FL long ago and come back to Philly for the TastyKakes, Pat's Steaks and family, IN THAT ORDER. We were a hit! Thank you.

Taste of Philadelphia
Jun 27, 2020 | By Faith
Our family is from Pennsylvania but, over the last several years, have moved to other states. We all miss the unique foods of our home state. I was so happy to find PA General Store! I sent a box of Tastykakes to my son-in- law for his birthday (SC). He was so excited to receive them! I'm going to use this site to order more gifts to family members...for happy memories.
Owner Response: We're always happy to help in bringing back happy memories to Pennsylvanians who have moved elsewhere.

A Huge Hit!
Jun 25, 2020 | By Marilyn Lucas
I brought the Tastykake Sampler to a family party for Dad's day and it was a huge hit! It also created a lot of funny "Do you remember when ..." stories as Tastykakes were cleary a family favorite when the kids were young (and remain so). The only thing missing is Tastykake Pies but I'll take a Butterscotch Krimpet anytime!
Owner Response: We'e happy to hear the Tastykake Sampler Box was a hit at your family's Father's Day gathering. We do carry the pies.
Nice variety of treats

I found this company while searching for a small gift of goodies. She is in a care facility. The items arrived quickly and my mom raves about the quality. Will be purchasing again.
Owner Response: We're happy to hear your mother enjoyed the gift of goodies.
Birthday gift of Tastycake Treats
Jun 7, 2020 | By Karen Dever
I ordered the tasty cake treats as a birthday gift for my 94-year-old father. It brought back memories of him working in Philadelphia in the late 1940s before he went into the service near the bakery that made the first tasty cakes.
Owner Response: We're happy to hear we were able to bring back your father's memories of working in Philadelphia. We wish your father a belated Happy Birthday!

Childhood Snacks

I lived in Philadelphia and New Jersey as a child and when I found out I could buy the butterscotch Krimpets I was so happy. They brought back childhood memories. A little taste of the past surely helps me in these days and made me happy.

Tastykake Cherry Sweet Rolls
Mar 13, 2020 | By Susan Tipton
I am very disappointed with you Cherry Sweet Rolls. Purchased them because I love anything cherry but these sweet rolls do not have even the slightest hint of cherry flavor, there are no cherry filling of any kind . The dough just has a pinkish tinge where it is rolled like a cinnamon roll. Extremely deceiving and advertised falsely. No cherries, no cherry flavor, nothing cherry about them!!!
My rating is zero!
Yummy!
Jan 5, 2020 | By Lori
Gave this to my Dad (who lives in FL and can't get them) as a birthday gift and he LOVED them.

Dec 28, 2019 | By Evan Jefferson Adams
I ordered and paid for 7 tastykake sampler boxes and received one. I kept waiting for 6 more to arrive and they never did. The packing slip said 7. But there was 1. In a 10x10x6 box.
Owner Response: Hello Evan, we want to offer our sincere apology regarding your order. We pride ourselves on offering excellent customer service and have missed the mark with your order.

Was raised in Pennsylvania love your cupcakes but why did you change the chocolate ones now they just taste like Hostess cupcakes . I love the way they were made before no cream in the center just chocolate cake and frosting . I will still give you five stars .
Owner Response: Hello Barbara, Did you know that Tastykakes has both the chocolate cupcakes and the cream filled chocolate cupcakes. The next time you want to place an order select the chocolate cupcake and let us know if they still have the same great taste.
Father's Day Gift
Jun 23, 2019 | By Donna Rice
Sent the sampler package to my dad for Father's Day. He loved it. My parents are from Pennsylvania, and after they moved to MI, my grandmother would send us Tasty pies and cupcakes at Christmas. We couldn't buy them in MI.
Owner Response: Hello Donna, Father's Day is a great day to celebrate and treat dad to his favorite snacks. We are happy to hear that we hit a "Phillies" home run...with the Tastykake Sampler box. We also want to let you in on a little well known fact!!! we can also ship TASTYKAKE PIES.

Butterscotch Krimpets were my favorite childhood treats, so I was thrilled when I received a whole box of TastyKakes. They were all delicious, but the Butterscotch Krimpets remain at the top of the list.
