46 Best Bakeries near Lakewood Ranch

“We sat outside on their patio for Saturday brunch, we were eight plus a toddler. They had a great brunch menu in addition to the very French regular breakfast/lunch menu. Avocado toast, crepes, fried potatoes, side salads, mimosas, delicious coffees, Aperol spritz- all very good. The waiter was very helpful with the menu items and service was quick. Patio tables were moved around to accommodate our group size. No reservations, no wait either.“

“ALLES!!! Das Essen, den leckeren Kaffee, die tolle Atmosphäre, die Freundlichkeit und die Sauberkeit . Wir kommen wieder“

“The works are always grinding to push out the cookies of the week for customers. Today I experienced an issue with the third party delivery driver in which my order was ready and not picked up in over 30 minutes. I called the store to see if everything was okay and they offered to call the delivery service for me. After that my new driver successfully delivered my cookies and it came with a special note! Thank you to whom ever I spoke with on the phone and the rest of the crew💕“

“I KNOW WE DON'T KNOW EACH OTHER BUT TO EVERYONE WHO IS READING THIS NOW,I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST IN LIFE AND GOD BLESS YOU. �“

“These pastries are the best I have had outside of France, but they're not French. They are distinctly dulce de leche! She's got a white chocolate alfajore and other alfajores that will knock your socks off. I had no problems communicating with the lady who checked me out even though I do not speak Spanish. She speaks enough English to make herself understood. Her pastries are simply divine! Who doesn't love dulce de leche?“

“These guys are simply amazing!! And their cakes (and cupcakes) are so incredibly delicious!!! When ever I need something specially made, they do a perfect job every single time. I am not able to have gluten or dairy and you would never know that their cakes are GF and vegan (they make regular cakes as well but for obvious reasons, I have not had those lol!). I would recommend Sarasota Bakehouse for ANY special occasion or just the occasion of having a need for something scrumptious!! Thank you so much Sarasota Bakehouse for always being fabulous!!“

“The raspberry key lime pie was absolutely amazing. We will absolutely be visiting again next Saturday at the farmers market 😁“

“Absolutely amazing!! The wheat seeded sourdough loaf is by far the best I've ever had. I'm truly impressed with the flavor, texture, moisture, everything about it is delectable and I will be coming back for more! The French imported butter is great too. ☺️🙌“

“We had Cakes by Ron do our wedding cake for our destination wedding. The whole process was seamless. Very responsive to messages, and they were able to drop it off at our reception venue. Not to mention the cake was delicious and enjoyed by all the guests. Highly recommend.“

“came in a little close to the closing time and the people were so nice and ready to give me a much needed sweet treat. i had their carrot cake with a coke. it was really amazing and very tasty! Great atmosphere with amazing art work! My heart is very happy. thanks guys!“

“We just tried the apple tart and the blueberry almond tart tonight while at Waterside Food Trucks. Can’t wait to try something else! So good!“

“I stopped in to meet with a friend and it was almost perfect. 4/5. I will start with the good. The latte was nice (they have oat and almond milk so happy to have diary free options). I ordered a pistachio muffin and was so excited to see they make them here. It was delicious! Probably one of the best I have had. Thank you for making this flavor! The woman at the counter was very nice and she makes a great latte. The cafe is small but has a decent amount of seating. The vibe is of a quick service cafe. It isn’t trying to be anything that it is not. The baked goods speak for themselves! So far so good! Until I realized there was a woman with her pet dog (not a service dog) at one of the tables INSIDE. She had a full breakfast spread and the dog barked the entire time. We got to hear the dog barking on and off the whole time AND listen to her snap at her dog to stop barking. It gets better. She put the dog in her lap several times (doggy dining health codes for OUTSIDE dining requires dogs to remain on the ground, off furniture/laps, and not use human dishes etc.). At one point the dog jumped on the other chair at her table and ate an entire quiche (or whatever it was) right off the plate. I was incredulous. Was this really happening? Why are we letting this happen? I love dogs and have two well behaved old guys that I will take for outside doggy dining when the weather is not too hot. Health codes are pretty clear about animals. My line of work also has me working closely with those needing properly trained service animals and this woman wasn’t even trying to pretend it was a service dog. Of course I will be back for a muffin and coffee. But if that woman is there with her dog again I might just go elsewhere.“

“The quality of everything in that store is top notch including the staff“

“This place is Amazing. The sandwiches were very delicious and flavorful, we had the avocado and porchetta. The staff is very polite and friendly. Highly Recommend to give this restaurant a try.“

“I was looking for a place where I could step back in time and enjoy a little peace and privacy, and this donut shop was exactly that. The old building and simple setup gave it such a nostalgic feel. I grabbed a seat at the bar, enjoyed the best apple fritter and a croissant breakfast sandwich with a smooth cup of coffee, and even ended up chatting with a sweet senior couple. It was such a relaxing, genuine experience. I’ll definitely be back.“

“My first time tasting the deserts, had the red velvet and it was amazing , usually when I refrigerate any desert the flavor doesn’t stay the same but this one did yummy! Will buy them again and again“

“Best cakes in the 941 really good !“

“I worked at the Bradenton Bakery as a production technician/sponge mixer and I was responsible for getting the process of making the bread started. I mixed all the ingredients into a huge dough mixer and after it fermented for about an hour I pulled the troughs of dough, that weighed over 2000 pounds, onto a lift that raised it up and dumped the dough into the main mixers. It was a very hard and hot job but I loved working there. My experience with the company as a whole was awesome. I recommend to anyone that doesn't mind working hard and getting great pay and benefits to apply there. The human resources department folks are just wonderful and will treat you very well.“

“We highly recommend!!! I just said I need Jungle cake and show the the balloons I’m going to use and they are so creative, they created the best Jungle cake!!! We love it! Thanks ! AND the most important….It was so yummy yummy 🤤 👏🙌🎂🥰“

“Gail did a phenomenal job on our wedding cake. It was beautiful, but more importantly it was delicious. We actually had guests telling us the morning after that they loved the cake and continued to go back for seconds! I believe there were only a few pieces left. It was such a hit. Gail was easy and wonderful to work with.“

“I go to BJ ‘S as much as I can I get good discounts and great service I recommend it to anyone that is interested 👍“

“I've been addicted to pork ribs, especially St. Louis ribs, since I lived and worked in the St. Louis area in 1966-1968. So wherever we are, wherever we travel, I always look for a good barbecue restaurant. Ribs are ribs, whether they come from St. Louis or Memphis or Austin or Kansas City or Charleston. So you can imagine my feelings when we discovered Perry's Roadside BBQ in Sarasota, Florida. Located at 936 42nd Street, on Route 41, north of Sarasota Jungle Gardens, Perry's offers a rack of ribs, pulled pork, beef brisket, smoked chicken and pulled chicken with a sweet, tangy sauce. Also baked beans, potato salad, corn bread, coleslaw and sweet potato pie. Open from 11 to 6 Thursday, Friday and Saturday only, Perry's offers a pleasant change of pace from the usual seafood fare. After considerable sampling, my wife and I finally decided that the best option for Perry's three-meat family meal that serves four to six but satisfies the two of us to a tee. It includes one rack or St. Louis ribs, four pieces of chicken, one pound of beef brisket, coleslaw, baked beans and potato salad. You'd be surprised how often there isn't anything left. Then, again, maybe you wouldn't be surprised.“

“Great food at a fair price!“

“Nice selection of Spanish cooked food you can eat in or get it to go.“

“Excellent Food! I would love to see you expand to Moccasin Wallow Road!“

“This is my favorite place for Honduran food! Highly recommended! Helen is always very helpful every time I come here. She is an asset to the company for sure! I am not sure why people are complaining about prices and being overcharged. I have never had that issue once and I believe the prices are very reasonable for food that is made from scratch daily, always fresh and a specialty dish you can’t just get anywhere. Thank you Haydee’s for your excellent food and service!“

“🇩🇪 Wundervoller Besuch – absolut empfehlenswert! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🇭🇺 Wir waren gestern in diesem liebevoll geführten Laden und sind rundum begeistert! Der Baumkuchen war ein Traum – frisch, saftig und mit viel Liebe gemacht. Dazu ein hervorragender Kaffee, der das Genusserlebnis perfekt abgerundet hat. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir die unglaublich freundliche Eigentümerin, mit der wir ein sehr nettes Gespräch führen durften. Man spürt sofort, mit wie viel Herzblut sie ihr Geschäft führt. Auch der Service war aufmerksam und herzlich – man fühlt sich sofort willkommen. Das Geschäft selbst ist sehr sauber und gepflegt, mit einer warmen Atmosphäre, in der man gerne verweilt. Wir kommen definitiv wieder – ein echter Geheimtipp!“

“Der Dutchman in Sarasota is a gem. The food is hearty, fresh, and consistently delicious — especially the fried chicken and homemade pies. The buffet is always well stocked, and the bakery items are worth taking home. Staff are friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere feels warm and family-oriented. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a traditional Amish-style meal in Sarasota.“

“So many great flavors to choose from!! But I must say the Peanut Butter Whiskey Cake is my favorite 🤩“

“The tea house was charming with a different t theme in every room. Service was fabulous, food was delicious, and we were served a lovely ginger licorice lemongrass tea at the end . We sat in the Alice in Wonderland room which we all loved! A special thank you to the owners for meeting our special dietary needs, for taking countless pictures for us and for making our experience one of the best!“

“This place is AMAZING! Great Czech food. Highly recommended. We will come back again!“

“Walked in and ordered Signature Assortment and a Custom Assortment of mini Bundt cakes. Waited for the order and was told here is your order and was handed a box . The next day as I was setting up for a party I realized they only have me the Custom Assortment. I called and they sent the missing portion of the order over promptly. While I was disappointed in the missing portion of the order I was impressed with their commitment to getting it right.“

“Sean and his team our amazing. The atmosphere is amazing. I made a little mistake while I was there a few weeks ago and Sean went above and beyond. I'll be back because of that and of course because the pretzels our so good. 100 percent go get some pretzels“

“Great restaurant with delicious French dishes. The wine list is impressive and the service was perfect. Lovely atmosphere, I highly recommend.“

“Just had breakfast this morning. Will not return. Ordered two eggs benedict breakfast. Awful. Eggs came out hard-boiled on toast. Sauce was runny and weak and did not have the creamy consistency. Eggs were cold. Waiter brought out what appeared like a mandatory 20 percent gratuity. I complained to my waiter and to my family from out of town. Will walk across street next time.“

“Our daughter gave us a pkg. of these for Valentine's Day. It was the first time we ever had them and if you have never tried them, they are truly the Best cookie we have ever had!!! I wish they sold the "Valentine" cookie every day as they are just unbelievable! Can't wait to try the other flavors!“

“We just tried the apple tart and the blueberry almond tart tonight while at Waterside Food Trucks. Can’t wait to try something else! So good!“

“Went to 5-0 donut co for the first time this week. We bought several types of donuts and an apple fritter. The donuts and apple fritter were absolutely delicious. The staff and ownership is awesome and go above and beyond to serve you and make your experience great. Will definitely be coming back !!“

“Total Mexican vibe!! The food is as fabulous as anything you can get from a sidewalk vendor in Mexico. We have been looking for good Mexican food in Sarasota for over 4 months and I had finally decided that there is no good Mexican food here till I came across this place tonight. Definitely recommend and worth whatever drive you have in order to get there! Can’t say enough good about the food! Totally amazing.“

“Naranjo Café Bakery is a hidden gem for anyone who loves authentic Cuban pastries and baked goods. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of fresh bread and pastries fills the air, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. I recommend anybody looking for bday cakes, wedding this is your guy!“

“The young lady at the counter was very friendly and the donuts are outstandingly delicious!!! I highly recommend giving this place a try!!!“
