50 Best Bakeries near Avondale Estates

“This place is amazing. My wife and I used to get their sourdough croissants as a special treat back when they were a little stand at the Avondale Farmers Market. And when we told people about them we would suggest that they cut the croissants in half, because they are so perfectly made that they look like a fractal on the inside. It is like a work of art.
Now that they have a brick and mortar store, they have so much more stuff. Bread, pastries, desserts...
The only thing to be aware of is that this is a little place. There are only 3 or 4 tables inside. There is plenty of nice seating outside though, and a nice park is a short walk away.“

“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!“

“First time trying Sugar Shane’s and I’m not gonna lie… these cookies HIT.
Soft, fresh, and you can tell they’re made right—perfect texture with that slight crisp on the outside and real flavor inside. The cream-filled one was next level. Not too sweet, just balanced.
The spot itself is lowkey but once you find it, it’s definitely worth it. Feels like one of those hidden gems you end up coming back to.
If you’re in the area and want something different from the usual desserts, this is it. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Amazing bakery, wish this was my local shop everything is delicious and they people are so nice. The rosemary scone with jam was my favorite from my recent trip to Atlanta. They also provide to a number of coffee shops - Harbor Coffee is my personal favorite.“

“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’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.“

“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!“

“Hands down the best fish and chips in town.“

“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!“

“Wonderful baked goods with tons of vegan options. The owner is super friendly and took the time to describe products and ingredients we weren’t as familiar with and made great suggestions. The tiramisu cups are 🔥! Always a must to stop here when we’re in town.“

“It’s cute inside, only one register and one person dealing with orders so yall gotta be patient unfortunately. Bought the:
Ham croquette: 4/5, seasoning in the meat was…different, still crispy and yummy though
Papa rellena: 5/5 so good
Spinach empanadas: 5/5, so crispy and the filling was good
Prices kinda hurt but I guess that’s just what it is these days. Grew up in south Florida so I guess I got spoiled.“

“Ask for Christian at the service counter bc he is all about service and with a smile too! What a delight he was and also a really great sandwich maker with brown hair glasses was too. I wish I would have gotten his name too. He was so helpful, thoughtful, kind, professional etc. They both seem like they really like their jobs and that is refreshing!“

“Ms Patricia is a professional and pleasant business woman who can delight the sweet tooth with her varied bakery choices. She made a bride's and a groom's cake for our April 25, 2026 wedding at Tucker First UMC. Both cakes were delicious with only 1/4 left for us to enjoy at home. I recommend giving Castle Cakes a try.“

“always a delight to enjoy 😉“

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

“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!🙏“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“The North Indian thali is a blast.“

“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.“

“good food , atmosphere good , priced reasonably friendly staff.. we wen t Thursday brunch. not crowded“

“The chocolate croissant was so fresh and tender“

“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.“

“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 😋

“Very soft rotis, specially their whole wheat roti with olive oil. The rotis are always fresh, prepared on the same day and they stay fresh for quite a long time if stored in fridge. While reheating as well they are still soft if stored properly in fridge. I didn’t try their delivery service because I usually prefer picking them up myself. They close at 7:30pm which I felt is pretty early.“

“Made a last minute order for some birthday cupcakes…..NO REGRETS! Each one was so moist and delicious and flavors were spot on. We also tried some s’mores cookies and they were ridiculous in the best way! Definitely will be getting more sweet treats from Shugga Sweets! Thank you!“

“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.“

“Amo los bizcochos deliciosos y hermosos“

“Cakes by Keon will change ya whole life and having you standing outside awaiting him to open the doors the next day. I love a hour away and would walk for a slice of cake“

“Best cakes ever. Wonderful Customer service. Highly recommend the juicy Lemon Pound cake and the Strawberry Caramel. The Strawberry Buttercream is just as delicious.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“El pastel quedó perfecto a lo que yo le pedí en sabores y modelo, tanto en sabor como en presentación quedó espectacular. El personal es amable y atento. Recomiendo totalmente su trabajo ¡simplemente delicioso!“

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

“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!!!!“

“The decor and layout are very nice. Service was great with the exception we didn’t get veggies along with our noodle soup. We didn’t know veggies came with the meal until it’s too late. The tour of saigon tasted decent, not bad but not something I would come back for.“

“Try it, they a lot of lovely and delicious meals and snacks here“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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 place is worth all the hype, and the incredible, top quality here even reminds me of Blue Star Donuts in Portland!

I had one of the best donuts of my life here, the Lemon Glazed. It’s a cake-based donut with the perfect balance of those lemon and donut flavors, plus an insane amount of glaze drenched atop. I ate half on the day-of and the other half after a day in the fridge, and both times, it was so dense and moist. I love their donuts and highly recommend everyone tries!“

“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!“

“Simply the best baked goods and Friday felafel bar!“
