50 Best Bakeries near Covington

“THE BEST, WE BUY EVERYTIME WE ARE AT WESTSIDE MARKET!! THAN YOU“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ North South Baking has the BEST Rhubarb Jam Filled Cruffins in all of Northern Kentucky — hands down! If you haven’t tried them yet, do yourself a favor and go ASAP. The flavor is unreal — perfectly balanced, flaky, and filled with that tangy-sweet jam that hits just right. Beyond the incredible pastries, the customer service is absolutely stellar. The staff makes you feel like family the moment you walk through the door. They’re kind, welcoming, and passionate about what they do — and that energy is contagious. This place has created lifelong memories for me, not just because of the food, but because of the people. North South Baking is a true gem. 💛🍓🥐“

“Thank you…thank you. It’s perfect. I said “winter” theme and you all killed it. I drove 40 mins this am because the cake is always worth it. ❤️❤️“

“Best place to get a lil treat for now and something cool for later“

“This is one of my favorite places to eat lunch. I have sampled many of the items on her menu and all of them are just wonderfully delicious“

“Great breakfast. Great service.“

“Croissants and ham & cheese croissants are the best around the city. Kouign Ammans & morning rolls are amazing.“

“We absolutely loved working with LaDawn for our wedding cake! From the very beginning, she was kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with. She really listened to what we wanted and helped us create the perfect cake for our day—a delicious spice cake with buttercream frosting that was beautifully made and delivered right on time. Everything went so smoothly, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how good the cake was! We’re so grateful for LaDawn’s talent and professionalism and would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a stress-free, wonderful cake experience.“

“Completely gluten free and delicious. Highly recommend! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I couldn't decide because there were so many options, I purchased a variety of items and all are outstanding.“

“I will never stop telling people that this place has the best donuts you'll ever eat in your entire life. I'm so dead serious. Their brioche donuts have the texture of little heavenly pillows and the flavors are out of this world.“

“The pastries were excellent!! They clearly sell out fast - we visited twice and the first day we showed up an hour after opening to a very limited remaining selection. The croissants had excellent flavor and a really nice textural contrast between the exterior and interior. I tried a number of pastries and think a must-try is the artichoke croissant. If I were local I’d be here all the time!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Oakley Crumbl is hands down one of my favorite stops! Their Dr. Pepper dirty soda (with cherry, vanilla, and heavy cream) is absolute perfection—it’s my go-to every time. And the cookies? Amazing doesn’t even begin to cover it. We’ve honestly never tried a flavor we didn’t love. Every week feels like a new treat and they never disappoint. So glad to have this spot close by!“

“Best Bread baked with natural ingredients. You won’t find better within 300 miles. Enjoy“

“Super yummy savory and sweet treats alongside custom coffee and small batch breads.“

“I've had the brownie and the confetti cookie, and they were both moist and very delicious, 🥰“

“This business is amazing. They came out for a private cookie decorating class to my home. The 8 ladies I had over for the party had the best time. Our instructor was patient and funny and endured all our shenanigans.“

“I shop at Davis Cookie Collection every week and it just keeps getting better. The flavors are out of this world! I seriously haven’t had a single one I didn’t like. Even the flavors I thought I wouldn’t enjoy, she somehow made me fall in love with. That’s how good these cookies are.

On top of that, the customer service is exceptional. The owner is warm, welcoming, and truly passionate about what she does. You can feel the love and care in every cookie and every interaction.

This place is a gem. If you're a cookie lover or even if you're not, you need to try it. You’ll be hooked!“

“This is a hidden gem in the Gaslight district that I found recently. They consistently have 4 different vegan options, including one savory pastry. These are literally the best vegan French pastries I’ve ever had and I’ve traveled from the East to West Coast— you won’t be disappointed! Updated from previous review on 2025-11-02“

“Thank you Makers Bakers for our amazing wedding cake! It was absolutely delicious and gorgeous! The best carrot cake I’ve ever had, as well as the top layer of red velvet cake! Your cream cheese icing is like having a piece of cheesecake! So delicious!!!!! Thank you so much! Our guests were very happy and we had very little left over! It was perfection!!!!“

“Delicioso pan. Se los recomiendo muchísimo“

“My husband and I visited Sugar and it did not disappoint. we bought a variety of cookies and a brownie. Everything was fresh and baked to perfection. I definitely recommend!“

“Such delicious cakes and cupcakes! They are light and fresh, so they don’t leave you with a heavy, sick stomach after eating them. Only pure, yummy satisfaction from the flavor combinations. You can’t go wrong with anything you try! His pastries are a visual delight too!“

“Great location, staff and amazing salted rye and scones! Just off hyde park square.“

“Amazing cakes, cookies, and pastries and we've always been greeted with friendly service. Servatii is our go-to bakery.“

“My dill and feta biscuit had great texture but didn't have the strongest flavor. Sweet and savory pastries are available as well as a good selection of breads. This is a grab and go space only, but they have a cafe down the street where you can sit inside and enjoy your items.“

“Love! My partner and I walked in and were warmly welcomed by friendly staff. (Seriously the most friendly and warm greeting I've had anywhere in a long time.) Between the two of us, we had a blueberry muffin, cinnamon bun, éclair, cream puff, spinach parmesan pastry and a pastry similar to a margherita. I also had a loose leaf chai which is available unsweetened.

I enjoyed all my pastries. The staff made sure I had a safe place to plug in my laptop and really went beyond to make sure we were comfortable.

I have to say the star of the show were the eclair and the creme puff. I've always loved these desserts in general because cream is divine to me. I usually kind of felt like choux is just meh. BUT the choux here is out of this world. I have never had anything like it, the texture is not chewy and bland as I'm used to. Here, it is as it should be, airy with a crisp outside.

I think I've found my favorite dessert in the entire city!“

“My 2024 is off to a good start because I was blessed with a Chicos cheesecake sweet potato flavor! I tasted the love in every bite! Thank you, Jas for the personal delivery! See you again soon!“

“The absolute best!! AGSC you guys are fabulous ❤️❤️ my wedding was a total success thanks to the most delicious cupcakes in the world!!! Thanks again The Beltons 2025“

“Regina is the BEST. From the cream horns to donuts to buns and danishes...I cannot praise them enough. The employees are always friendly and helpful. It's a gem. In a world of corporate saturation and putting mom and pops out of business, this is a true treasure and I hope survives.“

“Hand pies are amazing! Flaky, buttery crust with chicken pot pie filling!“

“I picked up six of the small Bundtlets (Biscoff flavor) for an open house, and they were a huge hit! I tried one myself and it was absolutely delicious, super flavorful and fresh. I will definitely be using them again for future open houses.“

“Did the Macaron class at the Short North location today and it was fantastic!!“

“I placed an order for my daughter's birthday cake and they did an fantastic job. We found a picture of a cake my daughter wanted for her birthday and they were able to make it at an affordable price under $40. I called other local bakeries and was quoted $95 and up and another place quoted me $125. Thank you all for making beautiful affordable cakes. The cake was a delicious strawberry flavor and we will be returning in the future for other birthday cakes.“

“The young lady waited with headphones was very rude, but the donuts make up for that being 3 hours away I pride myself on a expert donut tasting. The 2 we picked out were fantastic. We were close to columbus by the timebi had my cinnamon roll. And it was so darn delicious and soft and flavors were on point. The Bavarian cream was so fresh and different this is a must tey and definitely worth a drive. Will be back. Just work on your manners and this place would be gold star worthy!!“

“Did the Macaron class at the Short North location today and it was fantastic!!“

“I love that this location is open on Mondays! Busken's Plain Danish is my husband's favorite pastry, and they often sell out early in the AM. I wanted to surprise him with some before he has a long week, and this location was open on Mondays. 🙂 The employee who helped me was so warm & kind. A great way to start the week!“

“We drive the hour for their donuts as they are just that good! The chocolate icing is the best around. Last Friday I got to try the cherry bombs and apple cinnamon sugar donut and those are also so amazing. We’ve had their bread and danishes in the past and guess what? Also amazing 😊 only place we get donuts at anymore“

“Could not recommend this place more. My mother-in-law ordered a two tier cake for my wedding this year and to say it turned out perfect is an understatement. From beginning to end the professionalism from everyone was incredible. Kim is an absolute super star and made the process go so smoothly. Little Flour truly made my wedding cake so special and it was delicious as well! The decorations were gorgeous, and the extra effort they put into setting the cake up with the topper and macaroons at the reception hall was very appreciated. Do yourself a favor and order from here!!“

“Thank you…thank you. It’s perfect. I said “winter” theme and you all killed it. I drove 40 mins this am because the cake is always worth it. ❤️❤️“

“We celebrated my granddaughters 6th birthday there. They were so kind with her. I fell in love with the bakery, so much in fact, I dropped off a cupcake diamond art picture in hopes they could find a spot to hang it there. Love the atmosphere and the food!“

“Loved the brownies!! We had peanut butter, double chocolate, and biscoff. They were delicious! 😋“

“Best key lime gooey butter cake ever. Thank a bunch.“

“I was so happy with my wedding cake. I gave them a pic I found online and it was exact. It wasn’t an easy one either. Great job“

“We ordered 100 cupcakes for a work event and I can’t say enough about how good the were! They tasted great and looked just as good! Thanks so much!“

“Thank you….Whooooo Dey 🧡🖤🧡🖤“

“Ever since I was little we loved to stop here and get an order of zwieback to have at home. We stopped in and ordered some a few days ago and it’s still so good all these years later! We also got some smiley face cookies that my nieces loved. We love the Cookie Jar!“

“Amazing selection, quality and vibe! I wish I could bring this place back with me to Georgia. The Caprese is perfect in every way and the wide variety of fresh made drinks and pastries means there's something here for everyone. I also loved the pistachio whip strawberry pastry!“

Awful host but everybody else was great!

This was my first visit at Perkins.
Our server Leeli was amazing! Very attentive and lovely personality. Explained everything to us and was just warm and welcoming.
The food was amazing also! Everything was just delightful!

**Now the host, Jade/Sage (can't recall which), is a whole other story. Her attitude clearly does not align with what is required of someone who has to deal with the public, at any level! She was savage, completely unpleasant. And placed her phone in the menu, was on her phone the whole time; and her beenie pulled down over her ears to try to hide her earpiece! She is really bad! How can you have her as the first person your customers meet when they walk in? I don't get it 🤔
I even overhead her colleagues (the manager and another male colleague) trying to talk to her about her attitude and , SHE DOES NOT CARE!!“
