50 Best Bakeries in Indianapolis

“One of the BEST CAKES, and cupcakes. Amazing to work with! I could not recommend more!“

“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.“

“We loved the sweet and savory croissant options! Will be back“

“Devil cookies! They are sinfully good! My daughter came home with the biscoff pie, and I ate most of it and then shot back up there the next day and about 4 of them! I love the themed cookies, but the banana bread coookie was not it! It was still like bread. Crumbl needs more centralized locations.“

“The best doughnuts I’ve ever had! Great quality & amazing taste! Always excellent service! Highly recommend 😊“

“My favorite place love the 🍩“

“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“

“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.“

“Boyden's taste is top notch! It reminds me of Rosslyn bakery. They have many wonderful tasting pastries! I especially enjoy their chocolate éclairs! Check them out. You will not be disappointed!“

“Awesome donuts and boba! Always good when I go“

“Again, Leviathan satisfies my cravings😘and this crew is smooth… My new fav, Honey Bunny (iced) is just delicious. The Biscuits and Gravy are wonderful as usual!! And the BrownButter Chocolate Chunk Cookies are the perfect dessert! Of course we had to include a freshly baked Country Loaf for the rest of the week.“

“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!“

“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! 💖“

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!

“The best chocolate chip cookie I have ever had! And it was gluten free 🤯“

“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!“

“Their croquettes, croissants and pastries are a must try, incredible quality for the price.
I got their Choco hazelnut croissant, mango cloud piece for to-go for my recent visit to their store.
Mango cake had a nice subtle fruity flavour to it. Croissant was a decent addition.“

“Absolute BEST Apple pie I’ve ever eaten. So so good… thinly sliced apples, delicious flavor and perfect thickness of the top layer of crust. I drove over an hour round trip to pickup this pie. Zero regrets…100% recommend.“

“We have gone here a ridiculous amount the past few months. The staff are always so nice and we love their pan dulce. Our favorites are the quesadillas (which are sweet and similar to angel food cake in texture) and their large orejas dipped in chocolate - SO good! Their cakes are phenomenal as well. We have tried the oreo tres leches and mocha tres leches, which were both so tasty. The mocha has a thin layer of fruit filling and another layer of nuts, which made this our favorite. Such a nice mix of textures! They also have pre-packaged boxes of their small cookies which I’ve taken to work and people have raved about those too. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

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

“For Christmas, Jim made a carrot cake and the orange creamsicle cookies. All of them were excellent, and Jim was very cordial and flexible throughout the order process, including when I went to pick them up. It is well worth ordering from here not only because of the quality homemade goods, but the admirable mission behind it. Will certainly order again in the future.“

“Amazing sweets and incredible expertly designed cakes and cupcakes!“

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

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

“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!“

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

“Strawberries & Cream is delicious🍓 The cake is fresh with cream cheese frosting🤍“

“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!“

“I recently enjoy *Aimee Amour Cupcakes* and was thoroughly impressed with both the quality of their cupcakes and the overall experience. The cupcakes were nothing short of amazing. Each bite was a treat, and the cupcakes were clearly made with high-quality ingredients. They offer an impressive array of flavors, from the classics to more unique combinations. They also have seasonal specials, which keep things exciting. Whether you're a fan of traditional flavors or looking to try something new, there’s something for everyone. Ms. Aimee was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. She was happy to offer recommendations and even let me sample a frosting before I made my choice. The service was quick, and my order was ready in no time. The quality, flavor, and presentation make it a good value for the money. I was also impressed with the packaging. The cupcakes were carefully boxed up, ensuring they arrived home in perfect condition. They exceeded my expectations in every way. From the delicious flavors to the warm service, it was a delightful experience. I’ll definitely be returning and would highly recommend it to anyone with a sweet tooth.“

“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 were able to accommodate a short notice cupcake order with excellent service and a delicious product at great value. My daughter's birthday was great because of them and I plan on returning to them again soon for my son's birthday“

“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!“

“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”“

“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.“

“Every visit to this bakery is a reminder of what passion and talent can create. The cookies are soft, melt-in-your-mouth, oh-so-good-the kind you think about long after the last bite. I’ve purchased treats from both locations time and time again, and the quality is consistently outstanding.

What truly sets this place apart is the attention to detail. From the perfect texture to the balanced flavors and the thoughtful finishing touches on every single treat, you can feel the care and craftsmanship behind it all. This is the work of a truly gifted owner who has mastered her art and built something special.

If you’re planning an event-or honestly, if you just want to treat yourself-I guarantee this will be your new go-to spot on Mass Ave. It’s not just good…it’s freaking incredible.

Plus, the staff is super nice!

Ps. I purchased Chocolate Chip Cookie dough Shooters, Hot Chocolate Bombs, Gingerbread Man, 2 dozen holiday flavored cupcakes for my fellow staff and a GIANT Cookie Cake….its all so delicious!“

“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“

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

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

“This is a super cute cupcake shop located in downtown Indy! This was my first time stopping in and I was impressed. I visited around 130 pm so parking was not an issue. This is always my concern when shopping downtown. The interior decor is bright & welcoming. The young lady who assisted me was fast & super friendly. I bought 2 red velvet cupcakes that looked moist & delicious. These are a gift for my daughter's 33rd birthday so I'll update once she tries them. By the way they smelled on the way home. Im certain she'll love them & we'll both be back.“

“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!“

“The crew here today 9/12 at 11 am has been so extremely helpful! I ordered a dozen little cakes for my mom’s birthday to be delivered. But the delivery driver unfortunately stole my cakes and never delivered them. I called back and they remade the order and sent them out immediately free of charge. Sooo helpful and sweet on the phone, appreciate them!“

“This is the best Fresh Naan shop I've ever been to. Fantastic tasting breads. We always collect fresh Naans when we have a home cooked Curry, they finish the meal to perfection. Great prices and very friendly staff when collecting my telephone orders“
