44 Best Bakeries in Sarasota

“Best chocolate chip cookie around“

“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💕“

“Great food“

“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!“

“I tried the Cuban sandwich today and was very happy with it. Real pulled pork and good authentic Cuban bread.
Excellent pies- key lime and peanut butter chocolate are my favorite side they are the only ones i have tried so far. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“I read the reviews online (I’m from out of state) and couldn’t be happier w the cake I ordered for my father’s 80th birthday. The customer service was outstanding, especially the woman who I met in the store when I picked up my order. She was such a lovely person and so helpful. She helped me pick out some other pastries and helped me carry my goodies to the car. The chocolate buttercream frosting on the cake reminded me of the icing my grandfather used to make. Everything was wonderful and so delicious. Everyone loved the cake! Thank 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?“

“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.“

“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!“

“Delicious and a wonderful gift idea“

“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.“

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

“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❤️“

“The best wedding cake I've ever had...and it was so beautiful“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Delicious 😋 will make a road trip from Tampa, FL again anytime! Thanks!“

“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 !!“

“We love going for coffee and donuts. Now that it’s warming up I tried the donut sundae! Yum! Taking my love for ice cream to the next level with a warm donut! 🍩“

“Me and my partner came to Sarasota to pick equipment and he wanted to get something to eat tortas and found this place. When we got there we got greet by staff and saw a table of buffet and she offer buffet to us and we got buffet. Food was delicious,drinks,great service and the vibe was good and we took dessert home. But it’s was great experience. I’m willing to come back again when I come to Sarasota again.“

“Hands down, the best coffee I have ever had! It’s been months and I’m still thinking about it. What’s it going to take to get you guys up in Northern Virginia?!? 🙏🏼🤎“

“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!“
