45 Best Bakeries in Bakersfield

“A bad experience was immediately taken care no questions asked, and that’s great customer service,

I came in for a Dubai strawberry cup today, the first time it was made the cup was half empty, I was quite surprised considering the cost is $12
I saw on the crumbl instagram the cup is supposed to be completely full even overflowing.

So I reached out to the store and she immediately offered to remake it free of charge, I appreciate the quick response immediate action.

It was delicious!

Here are some photos of the first cup and the properly made cup.“

“The classic cookies are mastered to perfection! Love the simplicity and convenience of this place. All while delivering unique flavors every week.

Parking: Although front parking may seem full, the spots open up frequently and there are more spots a available further down.

Kid-friendliness: Mini cookies are a great choice for kids and limiting the sugar rush.

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs or other obstacles to impede wheelchair access.“

“Great customer service and always delicious donuts 🍩“

“I highly recommend this unique and local bakery that is nestled in downtown Bakersfield. We ordered 3 pies for Thanksgiving and they were all delicious and crowd pleasers! I also enjoyed a tart when picking up the pies that was to die for!!!“

“Wow the best baked goods in the world!! Nothing from a can here! Addicted to the Carrot Cake just tried the best Chocolate Cookies in the world hands down. Better than moms better than smiths. Im going back to buy every cookie they have. Also they are the best people always smiling they truly love what they do and it shows. I have to only go once inawhile or id be 500lbs! Lmao“

“Yes Yes-Yyuummmmmmyyy, Pyrenees French Bakery!“

“DELICIOUS! besides my own red velvet recipe this is the FIRST red velvet cake I had that is AMAZING!“

“I don’t usually leave reviews unless I am truly “wowed”. Nothing beats this place and I’ve lived in 4 different states! Their coffee is most definitely a hidden gem - it’s a must have. Their pricing is ridiculously inexpensive for what you get. Their breakfast sandwiches are literal chef’s kiss. I loath maple bacon bars… their maple bacon bar might be the best donut I have ever had! The donuts are consistently fresh, melt in your mouth, and there isn’t one that I don’t like. Now the staff! They are always so kind! Every time we go, there are regulars coming and going (some hangout) and the staff remembers each of their orders. My husband stops by every so often in the morning and they are listing off his order before he even gets to the counter. The atmosphere feels like walking into your best friends house! You’re in and out within 5 minutes tops. When friends/family come to visit us this is the one place we make sure that they try before they leave. When in town, they are regulars as well lol. So, this is clearly an absurdly long review, but Angel Donuts is more than deserving! If there are any negative reviews stopping you from trying this place, just know that they are 100% Karen’s - ignore them completely.“

“I had an amazing experience at this donut shop! The donuts were fresh, delicious, and had the perfect texture and flavor. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional customer service. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and patient, making me feel valued from the moment I walked in. They greeted customers with a smile, answered questions happily, and went above and beyond to provide a great experience. It’s rare to find both outstanding food and such genuine customer care in one place. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for great donuts and even better service!“

“The coffee here has always been good and definitely gives me the caffeine I need to actually stay awake throughout the day. Service is fast even when they're busy. I will say the pastries tend to be dry, but to me the coffee is what matters and thats always great. Atmosphere is awesome with cozy/nerdy vibes 👍“

“Located on the corner of East Truxtun and Haley in East Bakersfield Emmanuel's Bakery is not the sort of place seeking headlines, but for locals and passers-by in need of freshly baked Pan Dulce the family-owned space offers everything one might want at a fair price.

Open at 4:30am daily for decades, neither the interior nor outside suggesting luxury, guests are invited to load their tray with tongs from either the plastic cases or freshly made trays ready to restock supplies until evening.

Traditional in its offerings, Concha and Guava Empanadas both residing adjacent tricolor Cookies and Pastel, Emmanuel's Donuts are light and fluffy while choices like Orejas and Besos are better than what one might expect in an area with little competition.

A proud part of the local community, staff exceedingly friendly even when English is limited, Flan and Tres Leches hide at the far left of a cold case but are certainly worth asking for as the latter offers an open Sponge with less sweet Sauce than most plus Fruits including Strawberries or Mandarin Oranges.“

“The food had an unmatched breadth of spices and depth of flavor--can't go wrong with anything you order. The menu was out of some items and other items take a while to cook, which we were informed about in advance. Service was kind and attentive. More people in Bakersfield need to know about this place and Yemeni cuisine.“

“I get my morning coffee or matcha before work. Buttery Scones so good. I love the bacon cheddar pastry for a quick breakfast treat.“

“At 4 am on any given day the coffee is always fresh and the mexican sweet bread is warm and fresh out the ovens. They have these bolillos filled with cream cheese and jalapenos that are sooo good. When im in the mood for a hot out the oven sweet treat thats where i go every time!!!“

“Smith’s Bakeries, has a small satellite space located inside the Countryside Market.Smith’s bakery has been a staple in Bakersfield for about 70 years. They now have several different satellite shops in Bakersfield, along with their main bakery on Union Ave.Try their thumb print cookies, I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like them.“

“This is the home of my absolute favorite donut ( powder raspberry fill).
My lovely lady is in complete love the pink champagne cake 🎂. The staff is so friendly and if you are not from bakersfield make sure to stop and try a local favorite while you are here.“

“Super amazing! Try the cookie dough muffin!🍪“

“I love the donuts. the homeless around there are too much. I know it’s not the fault the donut shop , but they do have some issues with people hanging around in the parking lot , just expect to see some wild stuff outside. They don’t bother people I don’t think but they look rough it’s a little unsettling for kids probably.“

“Every time I venture into the mall, Auntie Anne's Pretzels is a stop I can't resist. Their pretzels are consistently fresh, light, and delicious with just the right amount of salt. In my opinion, they really do make the best pretzels around! I've tried other places, but none compare to the quality these guys provide.
What stands out, aside from the pretzels, is the service. I’ve never had a negative experience at this location – the staff is friendly and efficient, making it a pleasant part of my shopping experience. If you’re ever in the mall and craving a tasty snack, I definitely recommend giving Auntie Anne's a try!“

“(Translated by Google) I was looking for authentic bread from Mexico and I found it. It is that place that invites you to enter even if you are not hungry, the aroma of freshly baked bread and the smell of coffee is irresistible. A local business, operated by the same owners, if you're not in a hurry, will engage you in conversation. If you are in the neighborhood, visit the Conchitas bakery ??(Original)Buscaba pan auténtico de México y lo encontré. Es ese lugar que invita a entrar aunque no traigas hambre, el aroma a pan recién horneado y el olor a café es irresistible. Un negocio local, operado por los mismos dueños, si no llevas prisa, te atrapará en conversación. Si te encuentras por el barrio, visita la panadería Conchitas ??“

“We like the champurrado and the bread 🍞 yummy 😋“

“I was raised in Bakersfield. I no longer live there but, when I visit... I MOST DEFINITELY NEED MY SMILEY FACE COOKIES! These cookies not only makes me smile but, my tummy as well! I must say there has been some imitators of these cookies but, none of them will ever compare to these yummy most amazing cookies EVER!! I will most definitely be visiting soon!!“

“Jeff's Biscotti E Ricotta are great BUT his Cuccidati are amazing. The fig filling has a hint of orange and vanilla that made my taste buds jump for joy. Don't get mad if you turn into a fig junkie. Thank you Jeff for these amazing cookies and the great customer service. I look forward to trying more of your products. Lori“

“Good donuts and coffee very too“

“good food and snacks for adults and kids“

“Angelica's on Niles has some great Mexican sweet bread and some great birthday and wedding cakes at great prices, we have been several times to buy some sweet bread or a few birthday cakes and 1 wedding cake and we have been nothing but extremely satisfied with all there items“

“You probably already know they have awesome donuts, but did you know they have taro smoothies with or without boba? They are so good!“

“I needed two dozen powdered sugar donuts for my daughter’s bridal shower and I didn’t think to order them ahead of time. When I arrived to the store, I was disappointed that they didn’t have any. BUT, the young lady at the counter was so helpful and asked the baker if he could powder up some donuts for me! The Angel Donuts team at the Hageman store saved the morning! Not only that...the service was over the top when, after learning that there was a situation in the parking lot that had me concerned, the young lady (I wish I would have gotten her name!) kept an eye on me until I made it safely to my car! Wow! Thank you, Angel Donuts!“

“We did not get a cinnabon. We got the Carvel Sunday. The prices are high but we come here just for the Carvel ice cream. For soft serve, it's pretty awesome. The girl was so nice and put the Sunday together just like my daughter asked for it. The chicken on a stick at the checkout looks so freaking good. I did not get it though because ...My concern was how long had all that food been sitting out there. There were mountains of chicken. Do they really sell it all in the required amount of time? I didn't see how that was possible. It sure looked crispy and delicious though. We were on a road trip and I didn't want to get sick by eating old chicken. This is a newer gas station and there is so much great junk food to eat here. So if you're on a road trip, you definitely should pop by nice atmosphere and nice people. Hopefully they'll respond here about whether all that chicken was just for display or if it really does sell out in the hour.“

“We ordered a custom two tier wedding cake from Sugar Twist. They delivered it safely on time to our venue. It was absolutely beautiful and looked exactly like the inspo photos I had provided. It was also the most delicious cake I’ve ever tasted. It was moist and perfect and everything I could’ve asked for. All of our guests said the same thing and raved about this cake. We can’t wait to order more on our anniversary!“

“Prices went up since I last remember for my Bakersfield visits. This location does not get much product for sell and difficult when you have limits available. Thump cookies were 3+ days old which is a bit odd to continue to sell so I did not buy the kids the small cookies. Wish they had more availability.“

“Quality made pies and cakes that I have ordered. I’m very happy with all of my purchases from Karen. Thank you!“

“Smith’s Bakery is a gem of a place in Bakersfield, truly amazing. Everything I’ve had from there for the 25 years I’ve been going there has been nothing but the best. But my God, are they overpriced. They raised their prices dramatically during the pandemic, which I understand to a point. But now they appear to be arbitrarily raising prices just because. And it happens in such a short amount of time that it’s kind of pitiful. For example, they raised the price of a box of their thumbprint cookies by $2 in ONE month. What justifies THAT much of a cost increase in such a short period of time?“

“Great atmosphere and peaceful. Let’s have a cup and visit. Great views“

“BE AWARE!!!

I was visiting my friends in the area and got my self some food before we meet. I order a palabok because thats my favorite since i was a child. When I took the first bite I got a wierd feeling and got confused. After eating it for a while I realize that the food was so goooood and it made me feel like gordon ramsey prepared it for me. This place is Awesome and the staff is super wonderful!“

“Great tacos & burritos! I didn’t have a piece of gristle, the meat was tasty & flavorful! The donuts are really good too.... even at 4pm they tasted fresh! Even better: they have Dollar tacos on Tuesday AND Thursdays. Win Win Win!🌮🌮🌯🌯🍩🍮🍰“

“Angelica's Bakery is a Bakersfield Original Legend!
They always welcome all kinds of customers with a smile and respect. The baked goods are always tasty, fresh and affordable!
My partner and I LOOOVVEEEE the Crema con Jalapeno Pan and it serves perfectly as a hot chip and pan dulce mashup!
The gentleman at the front is always so kind and understanding, and he definitely cares about the community and getting to know them.
The Bakery is always clean and smells fresh every time we walk in.
It's such a blessing and vibe to be able to walk into an original styled bakery shop, and I highly recommend it for your life experiences. It will mean more to you one day!
Thank you Angelica's!“

“I just have to give the hugest shout out to the girls who work at the Carvel/Cinnabon part of the store. I must say how unbelievably UNFAIR it is that they don't get tipped. It's so sad that they're not appreciated for the excellent customer service. I mean really? These girls work hard and with a smile. They deserve a little extra for their hard work and dedication. Concerned but hopeful. Good Luck girls“

“Las Carnitas que me recuerdan al estilo Michoacán, la variedad de pan riquísimo también 😉“

“I love this place! My bf and I visit at least 3 times per week. The bread is always fresh and the taste is amazing. I usually find that the bread from other places is a little dry and it never lives up to the beautiful colors and designs...not here, though. Here, it's delicious every. Single. Time!“

“They always have fresh donuts and make great bobas! My one stop shop! The customer service is always good and my kids love them!“

“las mejores conchas, pan fino y donas que he probado!!!“
