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.“

“Beautiful and tasty treats, plus top tier customer service. Highly recommend.“

“The best bakery items I’ve ever had. Always fresh and the quality is unsurpassed.“

“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.

Parking: Free limited parking spots“

“The best bakery items I’ve ever had. Always fresh and the quality is unsurpassed.“

“Everything we've tried has been amazing!“

“My experience here was stellar, I got some of the best customer service I've ever had anywhere and the cake we got was amazing.

This place was the third bakery I had called looking for a basic same-day cake order, and unlike all the others who blew me off telling me to fill out an online form or wouldn't give me an approximate quote, Ivan at Joyce's Bakery was immediately helpful on the phone and answered all of my questions with patience. Ivan was so helpful in letting me know what they could offer, when they could get it done and how much it would cost that it sealed my choice in getting my order filled there, today and in the future.

There isn't a shortage of bakeries in the greenwood area but this place stands out as the finest; the cake we got was precisely what I ordered, a light but moist crumb with very light whipped cream icing, not overly sweet and just a perfect cake for a special birthday, and they did it all last-minute, same-day. I can't say enough good things, it's just not often you get such a good product with such great service for such a good price (our same cake was quoted at 3x-4x as much at other bakeries who demanded a 48 hour notice, just lol)

Joyce's Bakery rocks!“

“The pastries are delicious! Staff was also super nice. We got cinnamon roll croissant, chocolate croissant, spice cake, and focaccia bread. If you get one thing here, let it be the cinnamon roll croissant! Wish we lived here, we’d be here every week! ??“

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

“I love Boyden's. Everything about it. The sugar cookies, gators, custom birthday cakes, the cherry chip! (I live right by the original Long's so that's my go-to for non-cherry chip donuts.) This last time I went though, the first in several months, I was shocked by the prices. Things had gone up like 10-20%. I know inflation is bad right now but dang. I spent almost $30 on eight cookies, a baby gator, and a danish. I love this place, but it's going to be reserved for splurges. 😢“

“Love to see a Korean bakery chain come to its first location in Indy! Lovely cakes and so many bread options. Prices are on the higher side and the croissant I had was kind of soggy on the bottom and didn’t feel as fresh as I hoped for $5+.“

“I had never been here before, and once I stepped inside, my senses were engulfed with the delicious, mouth-watering aroma of fresh baked pastries that were out of this world. I literally wanted one of everything in the case. I'm going to have to go back and get some fresh baked bread. The service was stellar. The employees were super friendly. I can't wait to go back.“

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

“Very fresh and delicious donuts!“

“This is a nice coffee shop (and bake house) on College Avenue! Their latte had a very smooth texture and I ended up sipping on 2 cups. This is coming from an occasional latte drinker. Their pastries and bread are great too. They have a huge (!!) German chocolate cake slice that I’m looking forward to try. The atmosphere/ ambience is Ok-ish.

If you have a short meet up or want to explore coffee shops in the Indy area, I recommend visiting this place.“

“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!“

“Sourdough Heaven is exactly what the name suggests—heavenly! They offer the best sourdough breads money can buy, made with top-quality organic ingredients that truly set them apart from the rest. The variety of flavors and types is impressive, making it hard to choose just one favorite. Their par-baked, frozen loaves are convenient and perfect for baking fresh whenever you’re ready to enjoy them. If you’re a sourdough lover, you won’t be disappointed—you’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

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

“If you have the chance to get your hands on ANY of the creations from 4birds bakery, DO IT!!! Everything is delicious and handcrafted!

Parking: For their events they can have parking established, it may be tricky other days but very well worth it! PROMISE!!“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“Love their breakfast sandwiches, light and not greasy at all. Their food is always so fresh. Love the donuts! The boba is so good and there are so many flavors. The mangonada is perfection.“

“Great value. The only bad thing is that the more people who know about this the less likely I will find the bread I like. It's sales based on returned product. So they will not have the same product daily. However it's a great value, when you find the bakery product you like.“

“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.“

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

“Love it!! The vanilla/raspberry with jelly filling is the best. A must stop when going to Indy. A great way to celebrate 😃“

“I regularly come in on my lunch break with coworkers that I have introduced to Sun & Moon. We were so excited that they just came out with new tacos and flatbread pizzas. The buffalo chicken and margherita flatbread are top tier. Tacos are 4 for $8.50 with a great flavor and salsa that comes with. Definitely recommend to anyone who has a minute to stop in.“

“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!“

“Very tasty authentic German cookies. Loved everything I received from them. The pfeffernuss very over the top.“

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

“The manager that works here I think her name starts with a K is so bomb nice welcoming and knows her cookies! Thank you for my sugar cookies they were exactly what I expected them to be better than good! And the customer service was on point ! Thank you girl 💜Blondies better than Crumble YELP I SAID IT 🤷🏽‍♀️“

“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“

“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.“

“I ordered their gluten-free cupcakes for my coworker's birthday and they looked amazing, the employees were incredibly nice, and the establishment was so cozy and adorable. Of course, my co-worker LOVED the cupcakes!
It's so difficult to find a good bakery for someone with dietary restrictions, so I'm thrilled to have found The Flying Cupcake!“

“Man l had to laugh at a question they had posted which was how long does a nothing Bundt cake last ....lm here to tell you that l haven't had one last five min after l bought it!!!!!Truly the best cake ive ever had in my life just melts in ur mouth and is worth every dime it cost????????

Parking: Plenty of parking at this location

Wheelchair accessibility: It's wheelchair accessible friendly“

“Los pasteles para la quinceañera de mi hija estuvo delicioso. Llegaron unas horas más tarde de lo acordado pero no hubo problema. El pastel estuvo muy bueno y rindió bastante para 250 personas. Michas personas pensaron que era artificial. Mil gracias! La foto es del siguiente día. Aparte nos hicieron dos planchas de diferentes sabores.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“These are some of the best baked goods I’ve ever had. Our local coffee shop carries the brownies. The first time I bought one, I figured it was a gimmick thing I’d split with my daughter. The moment I tried it, I knew I wouldn’t be sharing. I had no choice but to walk back into the store and buy the last three. A few months later they came out with the ube cookie. I swear, they just keep getting better. Everyone I know is getting a box of these for Valentine’s Day.“

“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!!“

“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 ???“

“My husband is their ups driver and he's always telling me how nice the folks here are, they surprised him with a few treats on his birthday as well, I've also had numerous items here myself and everything is so DELICIOUS. The tres leches cake is AMAZING! Highly recommend“

“Compramos un pastel y les encantó a todos nuestros invitados! Además el pan está muy rico!!“

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