25 Best Bakeries in Columbia

“I loved the ambiance of this place. I love that there are no tvs, how small and dark it is. It reminds me of places in NYC. The service was great. The food was good. I'm a little disappointed in the lack of pasta dishes for an Italian restaurant, but that's my only complaint.“

“Went to Crumbl b/c my daughter wanted a cookie. What I found was a delightful shop with an engaging Staff. Needless to say, their cookies are scrumptious and warm. Definitely will be back for the wonderful cookies and great Staff!!Thank you Team Crumbl!!“

“I finally made it to the Cinnamon Roll Deli! I had the Low Country Shrimp & Grits, coffee, the not so mini cinnamon roll and a Apple Cobbler Cinnamon Roll.First the customer service was great! Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. The shrimp and grits were absolutely delicious, the shrimp were pretty big, seasoned well and had this smoky flavor to them.The coffee is delicious I had the opportunity to try Southern Pecan, Cinnamon Roll, and Jamaican Me Crazy, all delicious.And those cinnamon rolls Aah-mazing“

“Walked by when traveling and one of the shop staff pulled me in to check out some lemon meringue. If you are a meringue lover like me definitely go try it!!! I can tell you it was baked to perfect and so fluffy. The beautiful design of swirls and perfect bounce of fluff with a gorgeous balance of white and golden brown. I wasn’t in the mood for pie but when he told me to try it definitely can say it was 100% worth it.“

“cinnamon roll - when I saw the cinnamon rolls at Wingards Nursery I wasn't impressed. they looked like a giant chunk of bread with a glob of icing haphazardly slapped on top. I asked the young man working, have you tried these? what do you think of them? he said, oh my God best thing you will eat. $5...ok I'll try it. later same day, I sliced that roll like a loaf of bread. noting the thick ribbons of creamy sweet cinnamon in my slice. I microwaved my slice for 10 seconds...took my 1st bite... savoured the delicious, perfectly sweet homemade cinnamon roll....and had another slice. I'll definitely be back for another! I'll definitely be sharing with others! one bite of that not so pretty giant chunk of bread with icing slapped on and I had an epiphany...one of the best cinnamon rolls around!!!!!“

“I love Crumbl cookies with a passion. The service here has always been good. One complaint I have is that there aren’t any seating options. Sometimes it’d be nice to be able to sit at a table (even outside!) and eat a cookie rather than just getting it to go. For example it’d be nice to end a date by sitting down at Crumbl, or when I’m out by myself without the kids, it’d be more fun to eat the cookie at a table rather than just in my car. And it would feel a little more comfy and less sterile if there were cute tables and chairs to sit at.Parking: Big parking lot; never completely full. Free.Kid-friendliness: The store is very kid-safe.Wheelchair accessibility: No steps or stairs to get into the front door. Just a straight and flat walk from the parking lot.“

“Came in from out of town didn’t want to just every day store dessert for a dinner with some friends this place did not disappointThe women behind the counter was super and so helpful and was super patient with me and not knowing what I wanted she gave us tons of information on all the things they had will definitely be back when we in town again“

“Everything was fresh and prepared beautifully“

“Highly recommend this amazing dessert place! We love coffee and delicious desserts especially Asian inspired desserts. Honestly there isn’t a dessert that we do not like from Nibl! Their coffees are all delicious too. So if you ever want to check them out please do and try their desserts and coffee.“

“I got the chicken salad sandwhich and pasta salad. Both were very flavorful and delicious. The pasta salad was seasoned to where it felt like I was eating healthy if anyone knows that feeling, like eating a salad or something.The people were super friendly serving me and gave me a recommendation of having my sandwhich toasted or not. The restaurant is owned by the towing company next door and is named after one of the dogs they used to have so there pet pictures everywhere. I'd go here again.“

“My new favorite bakery!! The customer service was great, treats are amazing! I love love my cupcakes! I tried the triple strawberry, snickerdoodle, cookies and cream, and red velvet. the pasta salad and chicken salad were delicious as well. I don’t like onions but honestly, it didn’t even matter.oh, and the lemonade ?. Sooo good! Yall make sure to check this place out!“

“I love Canal Coffee on Hardscrabble. It has quickly become my go-to in the mornings. My usual is a 20oz Sea Salt Caramel Macchiato w/ whole milk. I add hazelnut and a sea salt caramel cold foam. It’s delicious and always done perfectly. I also get their Asiago Cheese Bagel with cream cheese toasted. It makes my day. The staff is always energetic, fast, so friendly, and attentive. The vibe and energy they portray is fantastic. Please give this place a try. The general manager is wonderful and also runs the Smoothie King next door which also has a fantastic staff.“

“First time at a pretzel store. Only one Philly Pretzel Factory in SC. The one on Broad River closed.We met the co-owner, very informative and friendly. Mini pretzel dogs with spicy mustard were really good.Give ‘em a try. They are in the Publix strip center on Rosewood in Columbia, SC.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking and ramp <15 yds from the door“

“Visited for the first time yesterday. Cute shop! I got the cheese danish , carrot cake slice, caramel pecan chocolate cake slice and other goodies off the shelf. The danish was a little dry but otherwise everything else was absolutely delicious. The cakes were SUPER moist and not overly sweet. Will definitely visit again.“

“Best cookies you will find, having be trying to find a great bakery nearby and all of them care more about appearance than taste, but this place was amazing. Best icing I’ve ever had and the cookie was fantastic overall 10/10. Great service too, lady was super nice!“

“My oh my! Crust is soooo scrumptious! I had no idea they existed but we were at Azealia getting lattes around the corner and I happened to ask a gal there if she would recommend some nearby spots to pick up pastries. Crust was one of the places she named. I am so thankful for the recommendation. We drove right over and everything was fresh and delish! Our items were still warm even. We ordered 5 different things (several kolaches, a Nutella croissant and pecan tart), all of them equally incredible in their own ways.Service was great. Highly, highly recommend if you're looking for fresh made yummies. Be sure to check their hours as I noticed they wouldn't be open the next day when I'd hoped to return for round two :)“

“My fiance and I just moved to the area and he wanted to surprise me with a local bakery treat. He got me the cheesecake from here and I have to say it's the best!! Especially the crust with pecans in it! I've also had the cookie dough cake and that was great too!!“

“The only thing we don’t like about this place is that it is very hard to find a parking space and since a lot of people are waiting, the servers seem to always be in a rush. Other than that we love the atmosphere and the food is good too.“

“Absolutely adore smallSUGAR!!!I tried the prime rib sandwich with marinated cucumbers, and the iced golden latte during my visit. Everything was phenomenal!The atmosphere was very relaxed, great artwork that is available for purchase, and the staff is very polite.When the signs says they're gratuity free, they mean it! There are no tip jars or prompts asking for a tip.“

“I purchased several flavors of cupcakes on my first visit, and they were all excellent, but the strawberry flavor was divine! The cake had the perfect texture, and the frosting was just the right amount of sweet. The associate was very friendly and even took time to frost a key lime cupcake for my order. The exterior of the bakery is a little unassuming, but don't drive by without stopping because the bakery is definitely worth a visit for a sweet treat.“

“I’m just so very confused by the recent bad reviews…I was so excited to stop in for the first time today, as there are so very few good spots on this side of town. I think the decor is cute and cozy, the service was friendly and fast, and my latte, as well as my bacon&brie croissant were hot and delicious!“

“Tres Leches Bakery and Cafe in Irmo, SC is an absolute gem! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with the aroma of freshly baked treats and the warmth of friendly faces. The tres leches cake is an absolute must-try; it's moist, decadent, and truly unforgettable. The cafe's cozy ambiance and excellent customer service make every visit a delightful experience.
