48 Best Bakeries in Bakersfield

“My husband and I had a sweet tooth the other day so we visited Crumbl on Stockdale Hwy. when we walked in the aroma of fresh cookies filled the air. We were welcomed with big smiles and asked what would we like to pick for our order. The cookies were amazing and more than enough as each one was able to be cut into hefty size portions with their Crumbl cookie cutter we purchased (a must have) We will be going back this week to see what is new on the menu for Valentines Day.“

“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!!!“

“Great customer service and always delicious donuts 🍩“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Terrible service, the woman who attended me didn't even pay attention to me, I paid 10dlls for four donuts and it's not bad, the bad thing is that I didn't accommodate the donuts and they all arrived crushed, the donuts are excellent but the service is very bad!“

“The lady owner is so so sweet she always throws in a extra donut for me without asking without overcharging and doesn’t accept my tip until I forcefully give it the donuts here are always fresh made every single day from scratch and man I wish they get more customers because the place is hidden gem“

“Simple bakery! We came across this bakery driving down the road and it has been our go-to bakery here in Bakersfield. As soon as I walk in, it smells delicious and fresh. Grab a tray and tongs and load your tray with what you like. I usually order the guayaba pastry and a croissant. Taste fresh and delicious. Staff is always nice and welcoming.“

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

“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 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?“

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

“Best white chocolate macadamia cookies I've ever had. Everything I tried was good. Each pastry is individually wrapped and you can use a tray to pick out what you want, then go to pay for everything. You can order a drink at the register too. We received great customer service.

It was busy on a Sunday afternoon, tables were full. I didn't order a drink but they have 2 kiosks inside to order from instead of waiting in the cashier line. It seems like an organized, efficient place.“

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

“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.“

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

“Underrated. I miss being able to sit inside though. I've been going to this place since I was walking to school, I actively collected silver change just to get bagel sandwiches here and I love showing up now and then. It's not just nostalgia though, I really recommend trying their smoothies. I love Taro and Pistachio, the donut holes are also great. Never had any problems with anyone working here, only complaint I have is some sketchy people here and there but they've never personally bothered me- a small thing to deal with for the food and smoothies though.“

“Good donuts and coffee very too“

“Delicious coffee and so convenient. The owners are so kind.“

“Everything was absolutely delicious! We tried the chocolate chip cookies, sprinkle cookies, cupcakes, and the homemade pineberry lemonade, and everything tasted amazing! 🍪🧁🍋 The cookies were so good, and the lemonade was such a refreshing treat.

Lana and Jolana were also incredibly sweet, friendly, and welcoming. You can really tell they put love and care into what they make. We’ll definitely be back to try more! Highly recommend! ❤️“

“This lovely cottage bakery is an Eastside treasure! They are for take out, as they bake from their home. I picked up a steamy box fresh out of the oven today and they were so delicious! Soft and chewy, with unique flavors like Abuela chocolate- there is no comparison in grocery stores! Give these bakers a try, I'm sure you will be equally impressed!“

“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“

“El pan está muy rico 😋 el sabor tradicional de mexico y el lugar muy limpio 💯 recomendable“

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

“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.“

“نادر شاب م الآخر مكان راقيي الشاب“

“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!🌮🌮🌯🌯🍩🍮🍰“

“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!!“

“All I can say is wow and if your looking for the best delights in the Central Valley you guys have to check out MOORE DELIGHTS!!! Thank you“

“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“

“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!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Red Ribbon is an amazing bake shop with delicious cakes, pastries, mamon, ensaymadas, and other sweet treats. Everything is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made. Their cakes are moist, perfectly sweet, and perfect for any celebration. Special thanks to Ma’am Monaliza, Ma’am Dimes, Anna, and Jenalyn for their incredible support during Music Tree’s Beauty of Broadway: Beauty and the Beast show. They were warm, attentive, friendly, and accommodating to everyone. Their outstanding customer service and genuine care made our performers, staff, and families feel welcomed and well taken care of. Thank you, Red Ribbon, for your generosity and unwavering support of our kids and community. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“I came just for the Carvel, and this review reflects that section, thank you for keeping this one. Was a bit confusing at first since this location does not appear on their website but it’s there and opened daily. It’s not a stand alone location, it’s part of Cinnabon so they only offer soft serve (and other products produced from the soft serve) but that’s the main driver for me. I grew up on Carvel so always thrilled to find one when traveling since there are none left in my area. The staff there were awesome, very friendly and professional, we stopped by a few times and had a great experience each 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!“

“Came on the first day of opening and the pretzels were extremely fresh and delicious. Everyone is obviously new but they were polite and the store was clean. It’s a plus that Jamba Juice is in the same spot and you have a drive thru option.“

“good food and snacks for adults and kids“

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

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

“I made a last minute decision to place my order to celebrate our 24th anniversary. I had been wanting to try the Apple Pie cake and it was amazing. I got there a few minutes early and the cashier talked to me and the amazing taste of the cakes was so worth it!! Moist and delicious were the 2 best words about the cute Anniversary tower!! Thank you again for providing the perfect dessert experience for our family!!“

“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!“

“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!“
