43 Best Bakeries near Lakewood Ranch

“Amazing. Go to France. Or just stop in C’est La Vie. You will be transported. Act accordingly“

“Cozy little bakery with plenty of pastries to choose from. The staff was so nice and patient. We tried different frittatas and cinnamon rolls, everything was great. My boyfriend had a peanut butter protein shake that was just yummy! Will definitely go back next time we visit.“

“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💕“

“Asia helped me with a Father’s Day delivery and she went ABOVE and beyond… so accommodating, professional and lovely.

My dad absolutely loved his treats and can’t wait to go back himself. Thank you so much, Tookie and Treats!“

“Our favorite! We don’t go anywhere else for birthdays but Sarasota Bakehouse for their luscious vegan cupcakes in too many flavors to choose from. They made our beautiful vegan wedding cake as well, and four years later, our guests are STILL telling us it was the best cake they’ve ever had and asking where we ordered it from. A local gem!“

“We knew we didn’t want to have a cake so we started looking at other dessert options. We found Sweet Doctors and their mini cupcakes were perfect. They were so delicious and a huge hit with everyone. We also got their mini chocolate chip cookies and they were the perfect cookies! We will be stopping in for sweet treats anytime we are in the area! The owners are so kind and we love that it’s a family owned and operated business.“

“My favorite place to hang out downtown. Huge patio. Great place for people and car watching. Friendly people. Counter service, so you can grab a paper and relax at your table without interruption. I’m a particular fan of the egg sandwich on bagel. Yum. Great coffees.“

“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?“

“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.“

“absolutely amazing Focaccia bread. Crispy on outside and fresh soft inside like the old days! soups are fresh and homemade as well! Best of Sarasota list! I always stop by for my treat and taste of heaven.“

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

“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.“

“Their key lime pie is the best! The lady that helped me was very friendly in person and over the phone. If you love key lime pie you need to check them out, it’s worth the drive.“

“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!“

“Turner donuts is a staple in Bradenton , a lot of return customers the owner knows by name which I love. I had their croissant with egg cheese and sausage which was delicious with a side of hot sauce. Their donuts are delicious per usual, and I also had a small coffee which balanced everything out.“

“A really nice place for breakfast. And, our server, Celene made it perfect.“

“Excellent sourdough! I cannot eat regular bread due to sensitivities & the sourdough from stores is not all that better. I’m so glad I found Bode Bread, it is so fresh, soft, and delicious! The Asiago & everything bagels are equally as good, I’ve picked up and had my order dropped off. Wonderful customer service & supporting a lovely family run business.“

“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“

“Simple, tasty home-style food at a great price“

“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 🤤 👏🙌🎂🥰“

“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!“

“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.“

“My husband and I had a wonderful Mother’s Day at Elixir’s tea house! The service was top-notch. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. The food was ample and delicious…I would highly recommend!!!Thank you for a wonderful Mother’s Day❤️“

“Amazing family and Company!! I ordered a last minute dessert assortment. I will tell you that I’m still thinking about it to this day! The brownie is and will be my favorite. The superfood sourdough. It was gone the same day. The family didn’t leave any crumbs!!“

“Great food at a fair price!“

“Made a trip from Ft Myers yesterday with 5 friends and we are so glad we did! Such a cute little shop with very friendly staff. Explained to us how the Chimney Cakes are made after we enjoyed a delicious lunch! Couldn’t pass up bringing some home. We will be back 😃“

“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“

“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.“

“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 !!“

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