50 Best Bakeries in Tampa

“When I say I put faith in this bakery it’s an understatement lol We were coming down for our wedding and I found them online and loved their work, I messaged them and they were so helpful and had amazing recommendations! I was a bit hesitant that I wouldn’t be able to do a tasting or anything because I was 1/2 way across the country. But this was the most moist and delicious cake ever and omg the fresh fruit filling AMAZING! And the pickup was super smooth as well! I can’t thank them enough for making one of the most stressful parts of wedding planning a lot easier!“

“I just started going here recently and am hooked!“

“10’s across the board! So proud of Chef Shonnikka and Synergy Sweets. I remember when it was all a dream and she was coming up with the name for her bakery while we were in culinary school. From weekend bake sales to farmers markets to slaying competitions, Chef Shonnikka is exactly who she thinks she is! I traveled from South Florida to attend the Synergy Sweets 1-year Celebration and I’m leaving super inspired with my sweet tooth cravings thoroughly satisfied! I purchased a combination of her cupcakes, cheesecakes, cheesecake cakes, and cookies. Having a hard time selecting a favorite. Everything is rich, decadent, and delicious! Here’s to more years of sweet success. 💕“

“We are happy to have a Indian Store to serve the community of Tampa Excellent service and delicious food well served and customer friendly“

“We loved Peach Cobbler Factory so much that we visited two nights in a row! Everything was delicious! I had the Salted Caramel Brownie and cheesecake with the strawberry cobbler topping! Both were absolutely delicious! If you like Peach Tea, you must try their bottles version they sell. It was divine!! The crew is also some of the nicest people we came across. Ms. Sheila and Ms. Tameka were both helpful and have great personalities! They both had us laughing! If you’re in the Tampa area, this is a must try!“

“A return trip to discover more goodies. A bakery that does not open til 11am is uncommon and detracts from the experience. All breads seem to have very chewy crust extetiors. Some of other items are just next level genius. The ham sandwich with bourbon ham, gruyere, bordier butter, le sanctuaire piment d'espelette and cornichon is brilliant. The croissant sticky buns and twice baked croissant w/ pistachio cream, apricot marmalade, frangipane and almonds make you wonder if this is heaven.

I greatly anticipated my first visit here after reading about it. It's a small place with a wonderful variety of baked products like bread and pastries with various other tasty sundries to choose from.

First I tried the french baguette. It's has a beautiful craggly interior but has hard and chewy exterior. The Beurre Bordier butter was great but I taste tested it with the Irish butter and the Kirkland grass fed and the exhuberant price is not warranted. The Double Baked Almond Blueberry Croissant was superp. The Uncle Sergio Sandwich was very tasty but much skimpier than their photo and the bread again hard and chewy.

Expect to pay top dollar for the things they carry. Easy to spend $50+ on just a few items. You pay restaurant pricing right at the bakery.“

“Absolutely amazing cinnamon buns and cinnamon bun cakes! Great customer service and always fresh, tasty food. Highly recommend!“

“EXCELENTE SERVICIO. MUY AMABLES. ESTABLECIMIENTO LIMPIO. PRODUCTOS FRESCOS. RICAS ALCAPURRÍAS 🇵🇷. BUEN SÁNDWICH 🇨🇺.“

“Crumbl never disappoints! The cookies were fresh, warm, and delicious. Also with a great variety to choose from. What really made the experience stand out was the amazing service. Giselle and her team were so friendly, welcoming, and efficient.The store was clean, the service was quick, and the cookies were incredible. Highly recommend stopping by this location.“

“Delicious and authentic!“

“Absolutely delicious fresh baked pies, Lebanese desserts, clean inviting. Big thank you to Zahra and Fatima for your hospitality and generosity you ladies are amazing. It’s worth the drive from Tarpon Springs we will be back soon 🇱🇧🙏❤️“

“Fresh bakery, clean environment. Staff was great positive energy. Richard was great 😊 strongly recommend this delicious bakery for your needs“

“Celiac and vegans,listen up! If you are looking for products for those lifestyles or just looking for healthy bread and dessert options this is the place for you. Outstanding variety of breads and desserts. My sincere apologies to the gracious counterman who's name I didn't get,who provided us with samples of their products. While the baklava he gave me was not V or GF (I'm neither) it was love at first bite! Flaky,delicate philo dough covered the tasty walnut filling. We couldn't wait to get home to sample the other goodies we purchased.
The wife said the linzer tart was very good. We both tried the GF Sourdough bread,she toasted,me with just butter. We both agreed the bread was a winner. Next,I had the guava cheese turnover. Flaky,buttery pastry embracing the filling of guava jelly and cheese,another thumbs up👍! The Dubai chocolate cookie was outstanding. This is a delectable product that is not to be hurried through. I let each bite melt in my mouth and the flavor just got better and better.
Go to their website to see the jaw dropping variety of offerings.
I'm already looking forward to my next visit.“

“Very good cookies! Not too many crumbls in Tampa so I’m glad this is near me I got every week 😛🍪 Friendly staff and clean store highly recommend! Only problem is that it’s kind of hard to notice from the road but that’s not their fault.“

“Gigi made my 50th birthday cake. It was absolutely beautiful and delicious. They did an Amazing job. 🎂🎈🎂“

“Best bagels I’ve ever had, and I’ve been eating bagels for many years! There is a slight crunch on the outside and they are soft inside. These will ruin you, you can never enjoy a bagel from anywhere else again. Same with the cream cheese! And the staff is so friendly and make you feel welcome!“

“I cannot recommend Crembo enough! After going to the gym, this is a great place for a quick bite to eat or a smoothie. On Monday’s they have special dinner menus, and today’s was pizza (3 different types), pasta (2 variations), and a salad option. It’s all homemade and delicious, I highly recommend going for a yummy sit-down OR takeout Kosher meal in Tampa!

Make sure you follow & check their Instagram before arriving, as their hours of operation can differ depending on the day from what is on the website.

BH for a dairy kosher restaurant in Tampa!!“

“Hands down the best pies ever! I'm Not a cheese cake fan but Mikes Pie has a caramel cheesecake that is amazing!!! Thanks for the welcomed calories ❤️❤️❤️“

“Cute little upscale coffee & pastry shop. I have been at Sucre Table a few times now and I have had a great experience each time I visit. I tried their Salted Caramel Latte, Lavender Latte, Orange Chocolate Latte and classic Vanilla Latte - they are all very tasty. Their croissants are fresh and flaky, my personal favorite is almond, but the chocolate praline is to die for. This place is pricey, but it is located on Kennedy Blvd., so I am sure the rent is insane. I look forward to trying more of Chef Brenda's pastries and cakes in the near future.“

“You apple pie was amazing! Will definitely be ordering again“

“Great ice cream options. And the dipped cones are a great complement!“

“So so good and a great selection! The owners are super sweet too! 10/10 recommend!“

“You have a wonderful employee that assists me every time I come to your store. She is a beautiful breath of fresh air. What a great personality always smiling. She is the reason I come to the store. She knows her business and assists me with my orders.
Thanks,
Dalia“

“Yuset makes amazing and delicious cakes. I also love the guava pastries, get them early before they sell out.“

“This is a cute and fun environment. The staff member who serviced me was very kind and helpful. I ordered the Nutella and Salted caramel cookie milkshake. When I tell you it was the best milkshake I've ever had in my 33 years of living lol It was so thick, rich, and creamy. They did not hold back on the cookie, I could taste it in every bite. 10/10.....“

“I want to share my great experience at this location. Wide variety of items, really tasty coffee (capuchino). And Dina is providing an excellent service. She is helpful, knows all info about products and gives good prices if advices. Thank you, I will come back 100%“

“bizcochos y picaderas muy buena 👌👍👏“

“We cannot say enough great things about Alessi. They did our wedding cake and dessert bar at our reception. Not only was it beautiful it tasted so yummy. The little bite size assorted desserts were a hit.“

“These were the best tasting gourmet cookies I’ve ever had! Sarah did an amazing job with decorating the cookies. I just gave her the ribbon color, party color theme and a couple examples of styles I liked. With that she used her own creative genius to create some amazing cookies for my husband birthday party. Thank you!
Tanisha Dodson“

“These make my Friday ! The cookies are always fresh and delicious.“

“The best colombian ?? bakery in tampa.“

“I get bird bread for backyard squirrels and Cardinals They love it! The people there are wonderful. We just stand around and laugh and talk They're so welcoming and they work so hard. $5 for a huge bag of bread You can't beat that.“

“Delicious cakes with beautiful presentation. Ordered a Bundt and bundtinis for a baby shower last minute. Nothing Bundt cakes provided excellent customer service and cakes for my same day order. We will return! Love that they sell balloons and gifts as well. Appreciate the convenience.“

“Hands on sweets did the desserts for my bridal shower and also did our wedding cake. From the tasting to the event, they were extremely professional and so great to work with. They created our dream wedding cake that was beautiful AND delicious. Our guests for both events have raved about their desserts!! We will be customers for life!“

“Thank you Tasty delicious Desserts for your excellent customer service, the best pastry's in the bay, we were your exquisite sweets, kale as well as your decorations make us return daily to consume more and more. Very satisfied with your services and hygiene and attention“

“Just devoured two savory Colombian empanadas from Mi Patria Bakery and I’m still thinking about them. The outer crunch? Perfect. The filling? Rich, comforting, full of flavor. But the real magic? That little cup of salsa they include. Zesty, spicy, and layered. Dipping the empanada in it somehow made everything more alive. Like it unlocked a bonus level of flavor.

The shop itself smells amazing, like you’re walking into a warm embrace. The energy was upbeat and the service was so kind. The cashier greeted me with rapid, beautiful Spanish (all I caught was pelo azul) before noticing I was struggling and switching to English with a smile.

Whether you're fluent or fumbling through your español, Mi Patria makes you feel welcome. And your taste buds? They’re gonna throw a party.“

“The delicious fresh cheesy breads or my fave GUAVA filled #Roscon & the special PR of the owner & Operator Theresa & her humble husband keeps me returning to this LiL place of comfort ... ..I call in my order and Ms.Theresa serves me with a big How are doing ? & have a good day ... & come again ...Things can't get any better...Now I'm a Top~Star clientele“

“It is a good Colombian-style bakery, very busy at certain times, the quality is good, sometimes they lack staff to attend to the long line, they have a good variety, the only thing is that you come out smelling of food, fried food and that the place It's big, I don't know why they don't look for a solution to that. It is unpleasant for hair and clothes to catch the strong smell of fried food.“

“This is, hands down, the best sourdough bread I have ever had. I have been a customer of Sassypants Sourdough for a couple of years now. Every single special occasion with friends or family, I put in a big order.

Every single thing I have gotten has been incredibly delicious. I am a huge fan of English Muffins and get at least a dozen with every order. They freeze for single use beautifully, as do all the loaf breads.

If you have never had sourdough brownies, your life will be changed for the better.

The Rye breads - insanely good. Way up on the fave list. Right up there with the specialty loaves. You haven't lived until you have had a big bowl of spaghetti with the Roasted Garlic, Rosemary & Olive Oil Sourdough loaf.

I was even fortunate enough to receive a centerpiece loaf for Christmas last year, which was all the rage with the family. My family also regularly makes Eggs in the Basket with the plain sandwich loaves. Chef's kiss.

And, to top it all off, the owner is an incredible human and has a true gift. I will be joining the next 101 class, and cannot wait. Shelby is such an absolute delight to be around.

I would give Sassypants Sourdough 100 stars if I could. I am, and will be, a client as long as they are slinging out loaves.

Do yourself a favor, and order today. You will not be disappointed.“

“When I was first offered one of Homemade Tampa’s cinnamon rolls I said no. Not because I didn’t think I’d like it but I was already pretty full from lunch. Then I saw it and had to try it. I don’t know what you do to make it so delicious. The absolute best cinnamon bun I’ve ever had. I will be placing an order. Thank you!!“

“I’m in Greece. No, not really. We just found the best Greek restaurant ever. It’s called Psomi. My goodness, so delicious. On February 20, our first time here, we had bread basket/psomi bread, le meunier butter, organic extra virgin olive oil, jam, and Greek scrambled with caramelized onion, roasted cherry tomato, creamy feta, grilled baguette. We liked the restaurant so much we came back the next day. We had chicken souvlaki - Greek yogurt brined organic breast, tzatziki, tomato, red onion, stuffed with cut fries, wrapped in a warm pita. Then we came back again on Sunday February 23 for some Greek style breakfast.“

“I ordered my sons birthday cake here a day before and they were nice enough to make it as I wanted the decorations I had In mind where available! Thank you ! The tres leches cake was fresh and delicious . Will definitely order again from this Mexican bakery“

“This is hands down the best in the Bay. Everything is fresh. Don’t forget to stop in and enjoy real island tings…🇻🇮🇰🇳“

“I found out about Matt’s mid December, I had a chocolate chip cookie and it was out of this world. I was in need of a gift idea for friends and family who live in other states. These cookies are just what I was looking for! I quickly placed 6 orders and all were delivered in plenty of time for Christmas. I ended up getting boxes for local family and friends too. Everyone who received a box commented on how amazing the cookies were. The variety of flavors is fantastic! I will definitely order from this great company again! A warm cookie with a little vanilla ice cream! Chefs’s kiss!“

“Jan.17,2022 Dan Dan the BREADMAN . WAS OUR DAILY DELIVERY PERSON (on macdill air force base)ALWAYS EXCELENT SERVICE FROM HIM. ALWAYS A SMILE DAILY TOO. THANKS DAN. RACHELCashier wasnt much of a customer service person I'd say, but prices were INCREDIBLE. Plus today was 10% off , cause its a WEDNESDAY.“

“Excellent restaurant and customer service! They have special menu everyday. Good for kids! They have variety of desserts and bread! Again recommended!“

“I LOVE this bread and purchase it at Apna Bazaar on Fowler. It's the closest taste and texture of my Grandmother's recipe and reminds me of my childhood. I now live more than 700 miles from Apna Bazaar and the bakery and can't get it regularly...wish we could get it fresh up here. FAVORITE SYRIAN BREAD IN TAMPA!“

“La Tripleta Bahía is beyond awesome and tasty.“

“It’s not really a pastry shop. It’s only two small display cases of pastries. I did try their bread pudding and it was very good. It’s more like a small café for breakfast and lunch. Definitely worth trying. But don’t go there expecting huge displays of baked goods, because like I said before, there are only two small display cases. But the bread pudding, I tasted was very good.“

“This is a nice cute Asian style bakery. We tried the Oreo Bun, Blueberry Cinnamon Bun, and the Chicken Curry Bun. Both the sweet and savory had the flavor just right. The cream in the sweet buns was perfect, almost like a honey butter with cream cheese that made the buns the best I have had since the Philippine Bake Shop in Jacksonville.“
