A Message from Marie’s Nutcracker Sweet

As a small, family owned business with a patriarch who is immune compromised as the result of a kidney transplant, we have always been sensitive to reducing the spread of germs. We will continue to follow CDC and PA Department of Health guidelines for proper hand washing and sanitation of our work space. Our limited staff is family and we will continue to monitor them for any signs of illness before allowing them to work. Our facility has little to no foot traffic and the nature of our retail business has always been mail order or pick up by appointment only.
We will continue to ship orders as usual. For anyone in our local area who would like to order rolls, we can make special accommodations based on your circumstances. You may choose to pick up at either our Richland or Windber locations. We are not yet baking in Windber, but we can arrange for order pick up there if it is more convenient. At either location we can bring your order to your car. For our elderly and most vulnerable customers we can arrange for local delivery if necessary. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns and thank you for your continued support of our small business.

Welcome Guest! Would you like to log yourself in?

Marie's Nutcracker Sweet, Inc. is a family owned and operated specialty bakery located in the East Hills area of Historic Johnstown Pensylvania, home ot the famous Johnstown Floods.


The bakery was named for the famous signature product -- Nut Roll -- by founder and chief baker Marie Duffy . Based on the traditional Eastern European treat known as kolache, it was Marie's nut roll that led to the opening of the specialty bakery.

While nut roll traditions vary from one area to another, one tradition that is almost universal is nut roll for the holidays and special occasions. Known as potica in Slovenian (or povitica, depending on the region) or Orechovnik in Slovak. Whatever its name, nut roll is one Christmas pastry that is always a beloved treat, re-kindling cherished memories.
