As good as it's always been. A Bakersfield staple. Anyone who grew up here ate their smiley face cookies at least once as a child. Way better than Porto's with friendly employees and without the ridiculous line.

I was born & raised in good ol’ Bakersfield, every local there knows this bakery is a STAPLE to our town! This place holds a special place in my and my family’s hearts. This is where we came for “Donut Friday’s” when my girls were little and going to elementary. It was a thing we did and looked forward to every Friday. Years passed and we held that tradition but it hasn’t been the same since we’ve moved. Yet, when we visit family and get a chance to visit home, we always stop here! Best little donut bakery in town! We love this place! 10/10!!

All the women at this location are awesome in the the most professional way. I would to personally acknowledge malayeria for her knowledge of the products on display and those that need to be ordered.

Knock out Smiths artistic baker cake decorators.

Always quality here. Get there early for the best choice of cookies.

$56 dollars for a small chocolate cake is pretty ridiculous. If the cake was actually good I would have been satisfied but honestly don’t waste your money cake tasted like it had been sitting for a few days.

I love this bakery, been coming here since I was a little girl and still go back when I visit 😊 the cookies are so cute and so yummy! I recommend the thumbprint cookies! If you get a dozen special cookies it gets pricey but it’s worth it

If you haven’t had the chance to try Smith’s Bakeries yet, you’re missing out! While you can find their treats at various spots around town, I highly recommend going straight to the source for the freshest and best selection.

Their Smiley Face cookie is a classic, and it never disappoints – it’s sweet, soft, and always brings a smile. But don’t miss out on their seasonal designs! They’re so fun to try, and it’s a great way to celebrate different times of the year with delicious treats.

And if you’re a fan of thumbprint cookies, make sure to grab some! They’re melt-in-your-mouth good. I also tried their Champagne Cake, and let me tell you – it’s just as perfect as you’d imagine. Light, fluffy, and packed with flavor, it’s a must-try.

Smith’s is a local gem for all things baked, and I can’t recommend it enough!

I purchased 10 sugar cookies which cost me $33.10 cents! That comes out to roughly $3.00 a cookie! Unbelievable! These were nothing fancy, just iced sugar cookies. Will I purchase them again from any Smiths Bakery? No, I won't. That's flat-out price gouging.

As someone with gluten allergies, finding a bakery that caters to my dietary needs is a true blessing. The gluten-free desserts here are outstanding. From cupcakes to cookies, everything tasted amazing and didn't compromise on quality or texture. The value for gluten-free options was superb, and the staff was knowledgeable and accommodating.
