40 Best Bakeries in Lexington

“Not only have I loved every single thing I've ever tried here, the owner is especially kind and knowledgeable. A true gem in Lexington. We are so lucky to have access to these amazing treats! I recently tried the Turkish delights and am blown away! all the flavors meld so well together and the consistency is beyond perfection!“

“We went for the first time today for my daughter’s third birthday and her first tea party. It gave fairytale vibes upon entering and was everything we could have wanted it to be! My daughter was given fairy wings and a magical wand to wear while eating. There was a toy room for her to play with toys if she needed a change of scenery. We were able to try all the teas we wanted and the food was delicious! The staff was so friendly. We will be making this a yearly tradition!“

“I had been wanting to visit DV8 for quite some time now, not only for my love of trying out new places, but because of the background of this place. Let me first say, I visited the Broadway location on 1/19/25 and cannot wait to come back. The environment was great including the decor and the staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I had the breakfast tacos and took home the chicken salad and it was amazing. I couldn't leave without snagging a couple cups, hoodie, and a sticker. Having a passion for those in recovery (I have 12.5 years myself) I couldn't wait to get myself in this place and now I can't wait to come back!!“

“We just booked Backroads Bakery for our wedding in October, and we can’t wait to share this dessert with our guests! I love getting dessert from here for dinner parties and gatherings too! The owner was very easy to work with and kind, and the cheesecakes are to die for. Definitely recommend!“

“OMG Donuts is the best, semi-hidden secret! They have an array of sweets and breakfast foods, and the most delicious drinks. The best part is the staff. Sofia is such a joy! Every time I go in she knows my drink order better than I do 😂. My coworkers and I frequent OMG just about every day, except Mondays, when we mope around waiting for Tuesday for the OMG doors to open again! There hasn’t been a single time that Sofia hasn’t gone above and beyond, had a beautiful smile on her face, and just been so incredibly joyful. It makes a difference in our mornings. Thank you OMG Donuts for my (almost) daily fix of deliciousness and joy! ☺️🍩🧋“

“A staple in our household.“

“Superb quality products. Their cake frosting is absolutely mouthwatering.“

“They made the process so easy and the cake itself was delicious. Our guests were raving!“

“My daughter has celiac and finding good gluten free cake is often a struggle. Not only were the cupcakes super cute and delicious, ordering and receiving them was an incredibly easy experience! I cannot recommend the product and services highly enough!!“

“Cookies are always good. But ordered through the app and they were apparently out of the normal cookie so they gave us the minis of that one. And the amount of minis given compared to the size of the normal cookie was definitely not equivalent.“

“We had Grace and Sequel Catery do a small intimate dinner (16) at our home. Grace did an amazing job, the food was outstanding and her set up was beautiful. She even brought lovely fall flowers for the kitchen and dinner table. They left my kitchen pristine and even snuck out quietly while I was busy with my guests. Her desserts were fabulous! Can’t wait to have her back for our next event. Can’t say enough good things!“

“The peanut butter chocolate chip and snickerdoodle cookies were so good. The staff is also super friendly!“

“Everything is absolutely delicious!“

“Yesterday was the first time I had ever visited a Nothing Bundt Cakes. Allison was wonderful. She helped me choose several cakes, told me how the franchise began and told me to try a cake. The cake was delicious! Allison was extremely helpful and professional! I’ll make it a point to stop by to purchase cakes regularly. Thank you for the outstanding experience!“

“Best Taste ❤️🙏🏾🌹Fresh products .. 🪔 Best Bread in Town 🙏🏾🌹“

“I had the pleasure of ordering a custom cake for my birthday from The Bourbon Bakery and could not have loved it more! I wanted a black on black iced vanilla heart cake with vintage styling. They gave me everything I was hoping for visually (elegant, goth) AND all of the taste of a great cake was there too. It was DELICIOUS. The cake got lots of compliments; it was a huge hit with me and my guests. Pricing is fair and communication is a breeze. I look forward to ordering from here for any future cake needs!“

“Stopped in to Julietta Market hoping for something yummy and found this place. The guava blondie and smores dessert were too good!! The food was amazing too. Best fried green plantains I've had.“

“Inebriated Baker has the BEST cupcakes everrr! They’re fun, vegan, beautiful, and taste amazing. I can never get enough, no matter how many I order. I rave about this place. The alcohol in these cupcakes and the cherry bring the perfect balance to the sweetness in the cupcakes. They offer several tasty treats and they always go out of their way to bring the best customer service to the table. Danielle is so sweet and generous. I can’t wait to come back in and order again.“

“Phenomenal experience. Child - friendly (right down to a kids toilet in the family bathroom), with great food. Highly recommend.“

“It's a little tricky to find - go through the door in the back wall of Michler's, across the parking lot, and up the stairs. The door handle looks like a baguette. We tried the plain croissant, chocolate babka snail, and oat bread. Everything was really good! Their croissant rivals the best in Lexington, and we've tried them all. We'll be back.“

“If you haven't been to this sweet little bakery, you are really missing out! I ordered 6-7 different things and EVERYTHING was delicious! The price was VERY reasonable too! I highly recommend that you visit here soon!!! you will not be disappointed!“

“Caramanda's exceeded all expectations! They did an exceptional job on our four wedding cakes, bringing my vision to life with precision and skill. Each cake was fantastic. Our guests raved about the cakes, and it's no surprise – Caramanda's has consistently delivered exceptional quality in every cake I've ordered from them in the past. They're a joy to work with, making the entire process seamless and enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend Caramanda's to anyone seeking a talented and reliable cake artist – they truly are the best!“

“Love Gigi’s they are great“

“If you want the best Derby pie in the city, come here. You feel years of love when you walk in this humble spot. You can instantly tell the focus is baking without the frills and thrills. Staff is friendly and prompt.
P.S. if you ever dine at Rafferty's and enjoy dessert, they partner with Missy's for their dessert menu. It's that good.“

“The best cookies/cakes and sweetest staff! Highly recommend and will continue using them for future events 🥰“

“Just FYI... this place is located in the front entrance in between Outback and P.F. Changs at Fayette Mall. Great customer service threw and threw, called in an order of Mini Bon Bites due to issues with the app and my order was ready when I arrived.“

“Flavor, ambiance and service all were great!“

“We have found a new Lexington favorite! These are some of the best soft pretzels we've ever had - and we've had many. After stopping by to try one, we returned the next day to get more to have on our road trip. We enjoyed talking to the owner both days, too.“

“Couldn't be happier stopping in to get some doughnuts today. The staff behind the counter were super nice. When I proclaimed I had never been here before they had recommendations ready for me to try. I bought both of them, and they were both great! Would recommend anyone to check this place out.“

“Flavor, ambiance and service all were great!“

“If you're looking for the best donuts in Lexington, look no further than Spalding's Bakery! These donuts are simply PERFECTION. Whether you're a fan of yeast or cake donuts, they have it all, but for me, the yeast donuts steal the show every time.

Each donut is a masterpiece, from their classic glazed and chocolate to the cinnamon twists, long johns, and cinnamon rolls. They even offer an assortment of other goodies, including reasonably priced cakes! Every bite is nostalgic, transporting me back to childhood mornings when my dad would bring home a box of donuts.

This local gem has been around for over 90 years, and it's easy to see why they've stood the test of time. The line out the door speaks for itself, and trust me, it's worth the wait.

Their space is grab-and-go (no indoor seating), but that just adds to the charm. I'll happily wake up early whenever friends or family visit, just to grab a fresh assortment to share.

To top it off, they've embraced modern times and now accept all kinds of payments. Spalding's Bakery isn't just a spot for donuts; it's a piece of Lexington's heart.
Here's to 90 more years (and then some)!“

“They have wonderful gluten free bagels but they only offer them on Saturdays and Sundays (bc why would people with gluten intolerance want to eat on other days?) and even though you’ve had to wait all week for one, you can’t get them after 10am usually bc they have sold out (bc why would people with gluten intolerance want to sleep in on a weekend?) Perhaps look into increasing your quantity??? If they’re sold out every day before 10 they’re obviously in demand“

“I just want to take a moment to recognize Amanda, the manager at this Panera Bread. She is by far the best manager I’ve ever seen. Her customer service above & Beyond . She’s attentive, kind, and makes sure every guest feels welcomed and taken care of. You can tell she truly cares about both her customers and her team. Amanda is the reason I’ll keep coming back . Panera is lucky to have her!“
