50 Best Bakeries in Atlanta

“I had an excellent experience with Mike at Sugar Shane’s. From the moment I walked in, he was welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable about the products. He took the time to explain options, made great recommendations, and made sure I left completely satisfied. His customer service is top-notch, and it’s clear he truly cares about the customers. I’ll definitely be back—thanks, Mike!“

“Have not been in years but always remember those whole wheat chocolate chip cookies. Today brought my niece for our weekend outing. Very nice space. Feels friendly, lots of tables and a huge bar area with plenty of seating. Food looked good although I only came for pastries. Will come again but need to figure out timing so I’m not spending 10 minutes looking for parking lol!“

“I stopped by today, excited to try some authentic Greek pastries. I was not disappointed! The lady serving me was absolutely lovely and gave me some free samples. I ended up trying a variety of things. The portions are huge and will last you several days. The pastries themselves are definitely authentically Greek (I am European and I’ve been there multiple times), and they are light, moist, and flavorful. I give this place my fullest recommendation.“

“I’m amazed at the creative variety of donuts at Donnie’s Donuts. And they’re coming up with new and unique creations all the time.“

“I tried Sweet Red Peach for the first time in Inglewood and absolutely loved it! When I got back to Atlanta, I couldn’t believe I found a location here too. I just visited the one near West End Mall and it was just as amazing ,absolutely delicious. The cake are always consistent, always great, and the service was wonderful. Sweet Red Peach never disappoints!“

“Diane is unbelievably talented with her cake and cookie designs! Not to mention they taste amazing. I secretly hide cookies for myself because I don’t want to share all of them 🤩!“

“I gladly travel an hour + so that I can have these gluten free treats. They are the best GF pastries and baked goods that I have ever had. I brought some home to my gluten eating family and they didn’t even know they were GF. Everything is good. Not a single item I wouldn’t eat!“

“always a delight to enjoy 😉“

“just wanted to say how much I appreciated your help today Alexander. You didn’t have to take the time to recommend a great sandwich, drink, and gift, but you did — and it made my day. Your kindness to a total stranger truly stood out.
Thank you Alexander you made my day a lot better before my flight.“

“I have only had delivery food from here, so I can not talk about the service staff or atmosphere, but the baked ham and cheese croissant is perfection. And something I think is best st room temperature, it needs time out of oven to cool,so the flaky layer is flaky and the cheese is not liquid, in my opinion it makes it one of the best options for delivery food, it is not destroyed by getting soggy in scdtyrophom box and carbide, the package in a nice bakery box and big paper bag, that make the order feel like a gift to yourself not just delivery.
Delicious!!“

“Kaisa is really passionate about cake making and always tries to integrate surprising ingredients in her beautiful cakes (think about chicon and beer). She can also make vegan and gluten free versions. My personal favorite is the earl grey cake!“

“So so good. Went here with my family today. Most donuts are way too sweet and I can’t really eat them, but this donut/pastry was so good and just the right amount of sweetness. Me and my daughter loved them!“

“I just love the cupcakes: they are moist, not too sweet, and have a very mouth-watering taste!!! You can't just eat one!!!“

“This 30th birthday cake was absolutely unique and amazing! The design was stunning and really stood out, but the real surprise was inside — layers of rich dulce de leche and fresh raspberry filling that created the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Every bite was a celebration on its own. Truly unforgettable! The restaurant staff at Marcel steakhouse said that it was the most beautiful cake they've ever seen, and we shared it with them. Thank you Katah!🙏“

“Totally awesome. The sourdough bread is delicious. The best I ever had I live in Virginia when I come to visit my son. .I always take four loaves of the sourdough bread back home with me and freeze .I wrapped in plastic wrap and put it in Ziploc bags in my freezer. When I open it up, you still can smell the freshness of the bread.💯❤️“

“Delicious as always. The celiacs and non celiacs in our family all love this restaurant. The owners and team are so kind and helpful. It is well worth a road trip.“

“Crumbl Cookies Salted Caramel Cheesecake: Crumbl’s official description for this cookie is “ A graham cracker cookie topped with cheesecake frosting, caramel, and sea salt.” Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts and going one step further, the Salted Caramel Cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory (CF) is one of my all-time favorites. That said, I’ve been patiently waiting to try this one from my local Crumbl for a while. The cookie is dense, satisfyingly chewy, and cool (it’s served chilled). There’s just a hint of graham cracker flavor to the cookie, but it might also just be overpowered by the real stars of the show: salted caramel & cream cheese frosting. Crumbl acolytes know the power of that phenomenal cream cheese frosting and this time there’s an additional layer of caramel. As expected, the caramel is sweet, sticky, and chewy. If I have one complaint about the cookie it’s this, mine did not really have much sea salt. Crumbl’s stock photo shows a caramel pool teeming with sea salt and if you look closely at mine there are only a few specs of salt. This can be forgiven as the cookie is just so damn good! Like the Salted Caramel Cheesecake from the CF, Crumbl’s Salted Caramel Cheesecake Cookie is one of their best. Doughboy approved 😋

“I really appreciate the kindness of the people who run this venue - it shows in their gorgeous desserts how much they care. Service here is what makes this place stand out, as the employees were very sincere and happy to provide recommendations, describe the available dessert options, and more.

I would highly recommend the Strawberry Crepe Cake, which was also recommended by someone working here! The dessert is beautifully light, and the sweetness level perfectly complements the strawberries in between the layers. The crepes are nicely thin, and the overall structural integrity of their crepe cakes is fantastic. We also tried their Red Velvet Cupcake, Red Velvet Crepe Cake (which looks absolutely gorgeous), Strawberry Shortcake (also looks particularly beautiful), and Dulce de Leche Crepe Cake.

Would especially return for the Strawberry Crepe Cake and to try even more of their various options!“

“A lovely bakery with a beautiful display of pastries and a very clean, modern interior. Everything looks fresh, colorful, and carefully prepared. The pastries, desserts, and baked goods are truly delicious, soft, and full of flavor. You can clearly see the quality and attention to detail in every item.

The atmosphere is bright, cozy, and perfect for a quick coffee, dessert, or a relaxing break. The place feels well-maintained, organized, and very inviting. It is also a great spot if you enjoy aesthetic bakeries with a wide variety of sweets and fresh baked options.

Overall, the food and presentation are excellent and definitely worth visiting. The only small downside is that sometimes the staff can seem a bit unfriendly or rushed, but the taste, cleanliness, and quality of the pastries still make this place highly recommended.“

“The chocolate croissant was so fresh and tender“

“We celebrated my niece's 16th birthday and even though the food didn't come back quite like some wanted it, we definitely appreciated the server Jamani for assisting our server who seemed a little overwhelmed and the Manager Taylor was awesome! He was great with fixing the issues and making the situation better considering it was a birthday brunch celebration! He & Jamani even sang Happy Birthday with us to her! It ended up being a good time! Thank you guys so much!“

“I swung in this weekend while exploring Atlanta from MS. I got a key lime pie cupcake & carrot cake cupcake to bring home to the kiddos the following day. The cupcakes held so well & were delicious. Customer service was top notch also!“

“I ordered two cakes from this bakery for different occasions, and I was beyond impressed! Both cakes were beautifully decorated — you can truly see the love, creativity, and attention to detail in their work. And the taste was just as amazing! Everyone at the events kept asking where the cakes were from.

A huge thank-you to the team for making everything absolutely perfect. If you’re considering ordering from here, don’t think twice — you’ll be glad you did. Highly recommend!“

“Visited for the first time today and let me tell you, they did not disappoint! It was absolutely phenomenal! From the relaxing and welcoming atmosphere inside to the awesome staff and insanely delicious food, I will most definitely be back! Thank you so much for offering a safe place for those that have a dairy allergy to come relax and order anything on the menu, especially the “bacon,egg and cheese” crossiant! 😋“

“This is honestly some of the best bread I’ve ever had. Here is absolutely worth the wait. Every time I’ve gone there’s been a line, but it moves surprisingly fast. The staff have also been consistently friendly each time I visit.

The Sunday cheeseburger is fantastic — if you enjoy a strong, beefy flavor, you’ll probably love it even more. Personally, I think it would be even better with tomato and lettuce added, or with a bit more pickle for balance.

One small downside is that the burger by itself feels a little pricey without fries or a side. That said, the quality and flavor are really great. I’ve already been here three times, which says a lot. Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to!!!“

“I have been going here for years & it has never been better! such friendly staff and wonderful custom cakes and amazing pastries,--everything from cinnamon conchas to almond croissants to smoky "bacon" empanadas. and all the breakfast and lunch food--especially the jackfruit bbq sandwich --is auper delicious.“

“Hands down the best doughnuts in Atlanta! 👧🏽Strawberry Lemon Shortcake 👦🏾Maple Glazed“

“These were not just the best vegan cinnamon rolls I’ve ever had… these were the best cinnamon rolls I’ve had in general… I can tell the baker has so much love for the craft and you can taste it in every bite. Be prepared to find your new favorite addiction. Just saying they were delicious would have been an understatement.“

“This was a wonderful treat to find for my daughter who has a dairy allergy! We tried the apple pie, cookie jar, and brownie cheesecake!“

“Stopped by today for the first time and let me tell you… Mr Rosevelt is my new best friend!!! I mean, who doesn’t love a warm red velvet cookie?!? Now I have a reason to go back to Lenox Square.“

“I have never ordered from here before but I am very picky about my food especially for the prices that grubhub and uber eats charge it puts more pressure on the company to make everything perfect. You guys did a great job. My smoothie showed up looking amazing, fresh and not melted, my food was hot, my order was correct AND it arrived quickly. Thank you all for putting love into it!!!!“

“Real Whipped garlic & fattoush salad make my pregnant wife happy. Also falafels aren’t dry. My son loves them.“

“Great Cookies !“

“The chocolate croissant was so fresh and tender“

“I love coming into Henri’s . I’ve been coming in there for over a year now, but one thing puzzles me. It’s a young lady who works in their name KEY. I really want to give her, her flowers because she works so hard, all by herself this morning and able to keep a positive attitude. Her customer service skills are so great. She makes my breakfast sandwich just the way I like it. Thanks key.“

“Nice place to get lunch, be sure to bring home dessert for later.“

“My new favorite spot hands down best sandwiches in Atlanta, love the at home feeling“

“We love Sweet Hut!! Not just for the sweets, which are amazing, the menu is great also. My favorite snacks is the Lemongrass bao. Try something new you will not be disappointed.“

“Our good friend just got this sent for my Husbands birthday and oh my gosh was it good. Fabulous, arrived andn tasted so fresh. We will def. be ordering this again in the future.“

“I served the chicken pot pie to my Canasta Card playing friends. It was excellent! The only negative was not allowing it to cool for 5 minutes before serving. After it set, it cut nicely.“

“delicious cookies and lovely people“

“Suli did our wedding cake and desserts as well as our grooms cake. When I tell you there were no desserts left, I am not even kidding! Our guests loved the jack and coke infused chocolate cupcakes and strawberry champagne infused cupcakes. As the bride, I was too busy and forgot to try a strawberry cupcake and man do I regret it! They looked amazing and we’re gone so quickly! We also had the banana pudding shooters and apple pie bars. I have never heard so many complements about the desserts at a wedding before and I’ve never seen the dessert table empty before either! Definitely kuddos to Suli and her team!“

“Love Alon's! We used to live in Atlanta and got our wedding cakes here. Back in town for the holidays and blown away by the cheese counter. They've really leveled up the game - incredible selection and the man running the counter is an absolute pro. So knowledgeable and warm. They have the best cheese counter in Atlanta, hands down.“

“This neat little bodega serves coffee, sandwiches, and breakfast stuff. It's fun, though you order exclusively by screen. Wheelchair accessibility is a tad tough, but manageable. The tuna salad is a special sandwich, though they add bacon.“

“Cutest little bakery for a fresh sweet treat while you take a break from shopping at Vinings Jubilee!“

“Simplify, simplify, simplify. Felt like this place was easy, quick, efficient and inexpensive. Two sandwich’s were about $20, packed with deli meat, bread was good and the service, friendly and fast.

What gets ya is that bakery display case. Got a bag of Zapp’s voodoo chips, a black and white cookie and a shortbread for around $30.

Friend got the carrot parfait, wedding cakes cookies and pesto salad. Both fabulous. Pesto pasta was creamy and the carrot cake parfait was stupendous. Would get again.

Roast beef po boy is loaded but I think I’d get it grilled next time. Italian and Real Mexican were worth the buy.“

“Monica d’Alzon at Munster Cravings is amazing! Her cookies are next-level—fresh, made from scratch, and packed with flavor. These are not your grandma’s average cookies. Every bite is unforgettable.

We had Monica on the Care Sandwich Podcast, and her passion for her business and for creating the perfect cookie really stood out. If you’re craving something truly special, you’ve got to try Munster Cravings. Trust me, you’ll be hooked!“

“Sasha Sweets made 3 10" tower cakes for my daughter's wedding. They were ahhhmazing!! The cakes were so moist and fluffy!! The icing just melted in your mouth!! This will be my go to sweet spot when in ATL!“

“I’m from New Jersey, but I come to Atlanta about twice a year and first stop is always a little tart. I don’t understand why all bakeries are not this good. Everything they make and I mean, everything, is appealing to look at and meets every delicious word in the dictionary. It is a must when you go to Atlanta.“
