15 Best Bakeries near Wood River

“Nicest people I’ve ever ordered anything from and the treats were delicious!“

“Come support this local small business! Amazing bakery! Came here because the line at Dunkin' was too long. What we found was a local bakery with hand-made pastries sent straight from heaven. (in hindsight, why was I going to dunkin' in the first place? They sell frozen and defrosted factory donuts) No donuts here but who cares? The cinnamon rolls, danishes, cookies, scones, UNBELIEVABLE!*!*!*!**!“

“Good donuts usually good service. Last visit we were the only customer at 430p on a Friday. Girl was in a hurry to get us out and they were mostly out of donuts ( I was getting them after work for Saturday morning work). Iced long John’s were icing down in the bottom of the box and donuts I asked for in addition to the dozen for work weren’t in the bag or the box. Like I said great donuts and hopefully next time it’ll be a better experience.“

“came in for the smashed burgers and left with muffins and cinnamon rolls and a couple magic bars .. to say they were delicious is an under statement.. these things were to die for I'm coming back for more goodies and food . I highly recommending going if you haven't been or if you have then go back lol. thanks for the great food !!!“

“I went in several times since moving to the area but this morning the employees were so nice when I thought I had locked my keys in my car after getting my donuts. The kindness goes a long way and everyone enjoyed the donuts!!“

“My best friend and I went as soon as they opened at 7am.
They label them in thr box so you can tell what everything. We took them to go, more that type! I believe you can order ahead, but too sure on that. But 10/10 would recommend! Really good! We got 6 and total was around 30 dollers and we got two drinks as well! So was a good price i say!“

“We used The Cup to provide cupcakes for our wedding day. Our guests LOVED them. We are so thankful for their professionalism and help in ensuring our cupcakes were ready for our guests. I would highly recommend The Cup for a simple treat or a big event.“

“What a yummy addition to Spanish Lake! I stopped by on a whim and walked out with three items to share with my family - a slice of caramel cake, a gourmet cookie, and banana pudding. They’re gone…devoured quickly, which means I’ll have to make the 40 minute drive to try other desserts for myself! The banana pudding is the best we’ve ever had…yum! The shop is clean and neat, and the service was amazing! I enjoyed talking to Alley’s daughter to hear about the move and establishing of the shop in Spanish Lake. While I’m not in the area often, this will be my go-to place for bakery items! Best of luck to your family!“

“I want to take a moment and say how grateful I am for the staff who worked at closing time on August 31st. I ordered birthday bundtlets on the 30th to be picked up on the 31st at 3:30pm. I was running late but on my way. I knew all was ok since they would be open till 6pm. I received a call at 4pm from a number I didn’t recognize so I didn’t answer since I was on the phone with my son. About 10 minutes later I looked at my phone to see the number again and it read NBC Edwardsville. It dawned on me Nothing Bunt Cakes and I thought why would they be calling me??” I then decided to look at the website and yep it was their number. I then saw the Sunday closing and OMG they closed at 4!! I looked at Sat closing time instead of Sundays!! Uuhhgg they were calling me concerned I hadn’t shown up to pick my order up. I went ahead and looked into store and there was an employee still there. She called out to another employee and they came to the door to see what I wanted not knowing who I was. They definitely didn’t have to open up to help me but I’m so very thankful they did. The bundtlets were for my daughter bday party. In a world where people only give negative reviews I wanted to give great one!!! Thank you to all three ladies for making our bday celebration a little sweeter with your yummy bundtlets!! We will be back!! ❤️“
