11 Best Bakeries in Dubuque

“This morning was my very first time at Millwork Bakery, and I'll definitely be back! I bought two pastries that were absolutely delicious, a cinnamon roll and a pecan sticky roll! I haven't had a pastry that delicious since I was a kid! The beverages are also wonderful! Plus, the customer service was awesome, everyone was very polite, friendly, and joking around! They were a true bright spot to my weekend! I'd highly recommend Millwork Bakery to ANYONE!“

“Chris was amazing and so responsive when ordering our wedding cake. With being out of town, we were unable to do a tasting and were SO pleased with how it turned out! Our cake was absolutely beautiful and we got so many compliments on the look and flavor! We still think about it and wish we could have it again!“

“Becky’s Cakes absolutely blew us away with the wedding cake and cupcakes she made for our big day! Not only were they absolutely stunning, but they tasted even better than they looked—moist, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Our guests could not stop raving about the cupcakes and the cake. Many said it was the best wedding dessert they’d ever had! Becky truly went above and beyond to bring our vision to life, and every detail was perfect. She was also an absolute joy to work with—professional, responsive, and so passionate about what she does. If you’re looking for a cake that will wow your guests and taste amazing, look no further than Becky’s Cakes. We are so grateful she was a part of our wedding!“

“Absolutely one of the best filled cupcakes we have in Dubuque!“

“Amazing food! Service at this location is fantastic and they are pretty quick for the most part. We are lucky to have such a good Chick-Fil-A here in town. The sandwiches are good even at the Saints Hockey games. I’m usually never disappointed here. Got it twice today and both times were superb!“

“If you’re looking for a bakery that delivers both creativity and incredible flavor, look no further than Candle Ready Cakes! We stopped in for their special April Fools treats today, and let me tell you—they absolutely nailed it. We tried the “reuben,” “chicken nuggets,” and “bagel,” and they looked exactly like the real thing. The attention to detail was unreal. Your brain is fully convinced you’re about to bite into corned beef, Swiss cheese, thousand island, sauerkraut, and rye bread… but then—surprise! It’s a delicious sweet treat instead. From the very first bite, my tastebuds were dancing and immediately wanted more. It’s not just the visual trickery—it’s the flavor that seals the deal. And of course, we couldn’t leave without grabbing their ever-popular cake balls, which (as always) did not disappoint. Do yourself a favor and swing into Candle Ready Cakes any day of the week and grab a few boxes of cupcakes or treats. You’ll be hooked after one visit—I guarantee you’ll be coming back for more!“

“I highly recommend this Hyvee. The employees are friendly and helpful and knowledgeable. This store has many different types of ready made meals plus numerous fully prepared entrees and vegetables that you bake and serve. Their prices are equal to or cheaper than Walmart but the store is far nicer with very nice employees.If i lived in Dubuque, ia., Walmart would never see me.Hyvee for foodThiesens or lowes for everything else.BYE BYE WALLY MART.“
