50 Best Bakeries in Indianapolis

“Stopped into pick up a couple Persian rolls w/Carmel icing. I bought two and the sales lady (who I thought was being nice) said I'll give you one for free. Got home to realize all three were hard as a rock ..straight to the trash. Stop selling stale products. Usually good here ..will think twice about going back.“

“Back in March, I had two custom cakes made for my baby’s first birthday and they both turned out perfectly! The presentation, taste, and quality are exquisite! Y’all nailed it again for my oldest daughter’s sweet sixteen! I couldn’t have asked for a better turn out when I picked the cake up, it was better than what I pictured in my head. My daughter absolutely loved it!!“

“The cookies were fine they could’ve been a little better box appeared to be small so one cookie was cramped in the box employees seemed a little too busy to answer questions as it was my first time ordering from Crumbl over all I will be back to get out more cookies and to get a better experience.

“literally my favorite place on the planet. I go to Indy just for pie!!!“

“We got our dog a CBD treat here. It worked very well to help relax his "new neighbor anxiety" 10/10 recommend We are definitely coming back to treat ourselves to infused goodies“

“Stumbled upon their new location in the Stutz Building. Friendly staff and excellent bread, pastries, coffee and gelato!“

“Liiiiisten baaaaby let me tell you. I have droooooled over these online. I have saved videos for years watching people make a strawberry homemade croissant... I thought I had to go out of town somewhere to find these treats!! However This bakery was twenty blocks from my old house I just moved out of. I have driven by daily and never stopped. I found them on an app and these were a part of a mystery bag! To my surprise all of these treats were bagged when I arrived.

You could have knocked me over with a feather and it took the great restraint to finish my errands and get home to take pics. When I cut it open and saw the filling, I am sure I looked like a cartoon character with my eyes popping out. That was what appeared to be a cheesecake flavored fillings that was sweet and creamy, paired with a homemade strawberry puree that was a touch of sweet and tart so it wasn't overwhelming but super intense flavor straight from heavens gates!
These were light and fluffy inside, crisp and flavorful outside. These are dangerous 😂😂😂 once you have one you will fall in love and want to go back daily, glad I live 30 minutes away from them now. 😆😆 I'll be back soon enough when I need another treat! I can't stop showing and telling people about these and the bakery!! The baguette was crisp and almost chewy inside. The other doughnut was a bit thick on the dough but it was tasty. These were literally the items I wanted when I peeked at the website so to my suprise they were both here and some bread, yes please French bread pizzas it is! Thank you for being amazing. I'll be back soon to get one of my new favorites the strawberry croissant! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥹🥲🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“We ordered a “number 6” donut with strawberry frosting & sprinkles, and 5 dozen donut holes for our daughter’s birthday party, and they were AWESOME! 😍 I was worried the big “6” donut might be dry because it is huge, but it was moist and fresh and delicious!!! It was soo pretty and everyone loved it. We might just leave cake in the past and keep getting donuts now! 💖“

“Tried a few things here today. The market (Saraga) itself is OK, especially if you've been to Jungle Jim's, but I will definitely be back for some pastries from Tous Les Jours. And another Earl Grey latte! I only got a picture of this tasty little roll with banana cream.“

“This was our first time visiting and we will for sure be back!

The coffee was fresh and delicious, but the star of the show was the fresh pastries! Absolutely fantastic atmosphere and I'll be buying some of the fresh bread next time too!

10/10“

“I just discovered this hidden gem and everything about it is fabulous! From the croissants to the cakes to the mini blackberry- apple pie! Will be back to try their breads!“

“Absolutely delicious! Friendly service, very reasonably priced!“

“Absolutely wonderful service (customer-focused product flow), baked goods, and coffee! 150% attention to detail with respect to food allergies and dietary restrictions. I love their cinnamon croissants (yes that is plural) and we tried the ham-cheese biscuits during a long weekend fishing/canoe trip on Griffy Lake and it certainly kept us out of the ‘hangry zone'.

Absolutely loved the 'Stutz' location in downtown Indy.

Quality and Service match their tag line and mission, “BY HAND FROM SCRATCH
Sourdough breads and pastries in the European tradition”“

“What a great offering of fresh, delicious, mouth watering goods!
Their sour cream biscuits are amazing, soft inside, crunchy on the outside. I am already dreaming of tomorrow’s breakfast, just some warm butter and ham on these… what a treat!
Their cookies are simply delicious, always fresh. Our favorites: salted chocolate chip and oatmeal maple pecan.
Their food is great, but their customer service is even better! I was just visiting Indy for the weekend and reached out to place an order, as I was badly craving their cookies, not realizing they would be closed today. Jenna picked up my call and even though the bakery was closed to the public, she actually offered to get my order ready. You definitely made my day, thank you so much Jenna!“

“This was by FAR an awesome Breakfast Experience! The customer service was outstanding! There were about 20 customers that came thru the line only waiting a minute or two at most to get their food. I tried the Spinach Cream Cheese, Texas Hot Polish Sausage, and Ranchero and Sausage & Cheese Jalapeño! They were phenomenal choices! Also do not forget the Hot Coffee is was great! Definitely will return and highly recommend making this restaurant that has been here 20 years a stop for great Kolache!“

“It’s clean and the pastries are delicious. Establishment looks great inviting confortable great place“

“Memories of childhood and visiting my aunt. We always stopped at entenmanns before going home or she would bring it out when she came to visit. Although this location didn't have much (it was late in the day), prices were great, staff friendly and everything tasted delicious.“

“Absolutely delicious. Their croissants are perfectly flaky and flavorful. I just picked some up this morning along with a loaf of sourdough I cannot wait to try! 110% recommend if you’re in the market for pastries!“

“We took the cake decorating classes and I learned so much. It was so enjoyable. I highly recommend her. Thank you for a memorable time.“

“It’s truly MADE WITH LOVE! I got the Boule - Healthier Ancient Sprouted Whole Grain and the Pan Loaf San Francisco Whole Wheat. Literally the most amazing, highest quality, and healthiest sourdough you can get. Andy, the baker, is supper kind and helpful. He explains all the steps you need to follow to end up with an amazing bread. I was always struggling finding a high quality sourdough bread (as non of the grocery options are comparable), and I’m glad I found Andy and his home-based business.“

“This hidden gem has Delicious fresh bread!!! 😍😋😋😋 . They also offer other variety of foods , tamales , tacos etc 😳 . I will be back“

“My place of employment served pies from here today and the pecan pie was THE best I have ever had! Amazing!“

“The best snickerdoodle cookies I have ever had !!“

“My dad and I stopped here on a whim the other day and I cannot say enough fabulous things about this place! Not only was the food delicious, but the service and atmosphere were wonderful as well. I've been craving their danishes since I left...needless to say, we'll be back!“

“I’m new to the world of food allergies. I was grateful to find this booth at Garfield Park. I’ve been on a very limited diet , and have relied on store bought products to satisfy my bread and cookie cravings. Store bought no more! Thank you for the delicious bread and cookies. Can’t wait to visit your shop!“

“My favorite cupcakes in the world! They are absolutely delicious!! So good u wanna lick the box clean too! My only complaint is for the price you pay for them they should be packaged a little better. It would have been nice to have a package that fit six. They might have transported better on my 3 hour drive. They were in a huge box with paper rolled up next to them.“

“La Panadería mejor de Indianápolis! Número UNO! #1 Su pastel de tres leches es maximo! Si no es de Alva’s no me invites!🤗🙏🏽♥️😑🥴🎂🍰🧁 #OnlyAlvas El pan dulce más esponjado y sabroso!“

“Nice spot tucked away along Washington street in Cumberland. The bundt cakes are always tasty and enjoyable. Appreciate they have gluten free options for my wife so she can participate. I like when the kids can accompany me and select their own. Staff is always fantastic to deal with and be sure to sign up for their rewards program.“

“My 50th birthday cake and cake pops (truffles) were amazing! They have the best white cake/white buttercream icing around!“

“Chocolate Bundtlets are best around.“

“I purchased some baked goods from Cretia Cakes this past weekend. I thought I was getting a tasty treat for my family but when we bit into this cake I realized that this was something special. Not sure what Chef LaCretia’s secret ingredient is but wow! We will definitely be coming back for seconds!“

“They did a wonderful job on my wedding cake and cupcakes! I highly recommend them for custom cakes! The owner was also able to re-create a Cookie Monster cake! It was beautiful!“

“Didn’t even make it into the shop! Met Mike on a flight and he gave me some delicious ube cookies! Nice guy with good goals and wonderful baked goods!“

“Butter chicken filling inside kathi roll was tasty. Ambience is cute with various places to sit and a few other Indian things to buy (incense sticks, copper water bottles, etc). Service was quick!

I am writing the rest of the review in Hindi because I am telling it only to Indian people - the price is very high in comparison to the price. I spent around $17 on a regular ginger chai and a kathi roll. Chai Wagh Bakri brand is instant I think, because I have brought the same brand home so I have got the taste. The 3 flavors that are being sold (masala, adrak, and elaichi) are the same 3 flavors that are available in Indian stores. Additionally, the paratha used for the kathi roll was not freshly made, instead it was frozen paratha of Kawan brand (I also learned this because I brought the same at home). Overall I could tell their clientele is mostly liberal people who don't know the difference and are fond of drinking “chai tea” and “tumeric latte”, so they fully support Dukaandaaro's plan (min cost max profit), but overall If you are Indian you will definitely notice what I have noticed. Service was good, Sardarji at the counter was very nice. Sat sri akal ???“

“From the service to the pricing—and, of course, the food—everything is top-notch.

We had the pleasure of enjoying it yesterday at the Indy St. Patty’s Parade & Tent Party. The line moved quickly, and AJ greeted us with a smile and a warm welcome. Our food came out hot and fast. I had the Korean beef corndog, while my friends had the Korean banger corndog—both were an easy 10/10!

We were also lucky enough to get the last order of green beignets, which hit the spot after those corndogs. Absolutely delicious! Find out where they will be next and GO!!“

“I got the red velvet Bundt cake last time and have been craving them since. Stopped by today and picked up the limited edition flavours lemon raspberry and strawberry cheesecake. We inhaled the lemon raspberry and can't wait to try the rest! 4 cakes plus a free cooler bag that's super cute for $25ish? Yes please!“

“I am very happy with the cakes done by Brenda and Sarah and the staff! Ladies, you are amazing 🤩 you have a wonderful customer service and go above and beyond to make sure you make the customers feel heard. I can not express how happy I am with my cakes. They definitely go the extra mile. We Totally recommend. Pictures in the comments“

“We LOVE Ofelia’s bakery! It’s like a hidden gem in Indy and I will continue coming here. I love everything I’ve tried!“

“Went on a quest in search for pastries. After a long adventure, we ended up at Bakery Lemus. Large selection. Very tasty and affordable. I want to go back already and I haven't even eaten all my pastries. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I fully recommend. 🍰“

“Love the sunflower wholegrain bread - wonderful and healthy!“

“Excelente calidad y sabor en todo el pan que he comprado. Buen precio! Definitivamente lo recomiendo.“

“Their pastries are delicious! Always made fresh daily. Huge variety of pastries and cookies!These took a hit during transportation home. But it doesn't change the flavor. The Bavarian creme pastry has smooth and creamy flavor while not being overly sweet. These donuts are huge compared to name brand donut places. The churros are filled with a raspberry jam (or what I believe is jam). Slightly tart but that what I want in a raspberry jam. The Danish has a glaze that gives the pastry a sweetness to satisfy any sweet tooth. And the cannoli has a sweet cream filling with each end being dipped chopped pecans topped with chocolate sauce. The cannoli itself is crisp. Great contrast of texture. Prices are very reasonable. They also sell cakes, which I look forward to trying someday.“

“My daughter (8 years old) and I had an amazing lunch on our girls trip to Indy. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent! The ambiance was gorgeous and there was so much attention to detail. Overall, a magical experience that we look forward to experiencing again!“

“Great family owned plumbing supply house. Have been using them for over 5 years. Out of all the supply houses in Indy, Winthrop is one of the fastest and most accurate in pulling orders. The environment is always upbeat and the owners are actually pulling orders as well instead of other suppliers where the owners are nowhere to be seen. Love supporting a family owned business over a corporation. Thanks Winthrop Supply!“
