37 Best Bakeries near Florence

“Had her make cupcakes for a coworker’s 60th birthday, they were the best cupcakes I have ever eaten. Then my friend ordered my 40th birthday cake from her and got red velvet OMG, it was soooo good. I think we have found our new cupcake and cake spot!“

“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.“

“Best donuts & pretzels in NKY.“

“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.“

“Thank you for the food“

“They are a great family owned bakery! Even took my request for some butter tea cookies with a unique combo. They taste just as good as Servatii and they require you to mortgage your house. Support local and small business, thank you Steve Emerson and team!“

“We tried Healthy Hangout today for the first time and wow! I wanted to go back an hour later! The drinks are AMAZING and the Carla was so sweet! My daughter and I love this place and we are going back ASAP! This is a must go place!!“

“Visited for the first time today and tried the mocha and the chocolate chip cookie. The mocha was awesome, flavorful and not overly sweet. The cookie was good, though a bit too sweet for my taste.

One safety concern: when we arrived, the ‘Customer Parking Only’ sign was on the ground, so I stood it back up. With the strong winds today, it fell again and nearly hit my car. An employee saw it happen but didn’t seem concerned, although someone from the staff did put it back up afterward. The base doesn’t seem heavy/stable enough. Please secure or replace it before it hurts someone or damages a car.“

“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.“

“DELICIOUS! You can tell the quality of their ingredients from the deep and just immaculate flavors of the pastries. The fig pastry is incredible, and for how amazing these pastries were, they weren't horribly expensive. Workers were very sweet! Worth going into the city for, new favorite place!“

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

“Hands down the best cookies and sweet potato pie in the area. The cookies are huge and flavorful (unlike another well known bakery) and the sweet potato pie is out of this world. Highly recommend!!“

“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!!!!“

“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!“

“Servatii has the most delicious food. I’ve had almost everything that Servatii in Blue Ash has, and I’ve never been disappointed. I keep coming back to this location because of the food and great customer service.“

“Amazing donuts and the staff is so nice.“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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. 💛🍓🥐“

“I ordered two pies for my family thanksgiving, a pumpkin pie and a cranberry apple pie. To say they were delicious and amazing doesn’t do either pie the justice they deserve. The pumpkin pie was so delicate and light (THESE ARE GOOD THINGS). Sometimes a pumpkin pie can be so heavy and too rich but this was effortless joy, airy and the flavor beat anything I’ve ever even attempted to make. The cranberry apple pie was latticed with sugary perfection. The tart of the cranberry melded with the apple in a delectable ballet of OMG YES. Thank you so much for these pies! I can’t wait to order from you again!“

“Walking into Allez on a rainy Cincinnati morning felt like stepping straight into a warm hug. Before I even reached the counter, the smell of fresh bread wrapped around me like comfort and memory all at once — that deep, soulful aroma of butter, herbs, crust, and care.

This was my first visit, as I’m traveling from New York, and the vibe hit me immediately:
soft light, rainy windows, friendly energy, and a community heartbeat you can feel in your chest.
The woman behind the counter was warm, patient, and had that genuine kindness that makes you feel like a regular even when you’re not.

The bread?
Listen… I don’t even have the vocabulary ready for what they’re doing in that kitchen.

The loaf I bought was the perfect marriage of crackly crust + soft, tender center, with this whisper of buttery, herby goodness that tastes like somebody’s grandmother and a Michelin-star chef teamed up and said: “Let’s bless this man today.”

Then came the pastries — and that’s where I lost all composure.

Every pastry had its own personality.
Not too sweet.
Not heavy.
But the kind of flavor that hits, lingers, and then softly fades, leaving you right on the edge of wanting another bite… but totally satisfied too.

My favorite?
The apple cider pastry.
Warm spice, gentle sweetness, flaky edges — it met my tongue like it had always been meant to be there.

Between the cozy atmosphere, the friendliness of the staff, the rain tapping on the windows, and the kind of food that reminds you life is still good…
**Allez is absolutely a must-visit.“

I noticed immediately upon entering how well maintained, clean and adorable this little bakery was. The chocolate croissant was perfection and both staff members went above and beyond.“
