50 Best Bakeries in Louisville

“We purchased our wedding cake through Bae’s bakery and I am so thankful that we did!! Not only was the cake stunning, but it was the best cake we’d ever had.

“Fantastic Sweet Potato pie! Highly recommended.“

“Very delicious homemade style cookies. I got them online and shipping was fast. Would buy again. Highly recommended.“

“Great cake slice and chai latte. Nice atmosphere and friendly barista.“

“Usually don’t go out to bakery’s due to having a lack of selection I enjoy, this exceeded my expectations for such a small amount of options… if you’re from Mi they are like crumbl cookie but overall better flavors, taste way fresher, and cheaper then 99% of places I’ve been, if your local to LV KY they would be a great spot to get treats consistently, I am from mid Michigan and have saved this in my phone in case my work ever sends me near again :) 10/10 5star“

“This place is amazing! It’s a hidden gem for sure. I recently located here from Ohio and I’ve grown up with European food like Cevappi and luckily enough I looked into this place after my work bought some of their pastries for breakfast and they were jaw dropping! I instantly could tell this place was all homemade amazing food. I searched their menu after tasting their delightful pastries and saw they had Cevappi and I knew I had to try it. The smell of the homemade bread is so filling and made me so happy. The Cevappi are soooo good with the onion and the homemade sauce with dill is so buttery and garlic. Definitely will be going back for more ☺️“

“Where to even begin?! This is more than an amazing play space and cafe; it’s a place where caregivers can actually get a much needed breather while kids are able to be kids in a safe space. Plus it’s a hub of activity. They are always offering new classes, camps and childcare options. My kiddo took an art class here that was 10/10. They also are very community-minded. They’ve hosted a pantry on-site and offer play days at significantly reduced cost. Amazing people. Amazing atmosphere. Highly recommended GlowWorm!“
