50 Best Bakeries near St. Matthews

“A Louisville staple! Everything here is delicious, and the people working behind the counter are always friendly and ready to offer suggestions. The thumbprint cookies and cheese straws are incredible. I hope everyone who visits Louisville stops to pick up a few treats!“

“We had the vegan pepperoni pizza today and had to try the red velvet cake, as well. Both were really good. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Louisville.“

“We tried Barry Bagels in St. Matthew for the first time and the bagels were SO fresh. Exactly what you want when you're craving a fresh delicious bagel. They also offer a variety of sandwiches and spreads. If you're looking for a scrumptious bagel shop, try Barry Bagels! 🥯🥯🥯🥯🥯“

“Bae's Bakery made my wedding cake and they did a fantastic job. They brought my vision to life and the cake was beautiful. The pumpkin and vanilla cake with cream cheese icing was delicious! Thank you all for delivering such a great wedding cake!!“

“Love ❤️ her sweet potato pies! And warm environment…..“

“Crumbl Cookies is hands-down one of my favorite dessert spots! The cookies are always warm, fresh, and perfectly gooey. Every week brings something new and exciting to try, and somehow they never miss. The store is clean, the staff is super friendly, and the service is quick—even when they’re busy. Whether it’s a treat for myself or a box to share with friends and family, Crumbl never disappoints. Highly recommend if you have a sweet tooth or just want to brighten your day!“

“Amazing taste and customer service“

“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“

“Stopped in this morning by chance for coffee and pastries. Got the Cubano with a chocolate croissant and an almond croissant.🔥🔥“

“best donut shop in Louisville“

“I would give this place 6 stars if I could! This bakery is an absolute gem - they bake bread and pastries in store, staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The egg&cheese variation on koláč was hot, delicious and exactly what I needed on this freezing day! The danish pastry was seriously THE BEST I have ever eaten in the Unites States. Without exagerration. This stuff is greatgrandma quality and for those who don't know - where I come from, this is the highest award of baking you can possibly achieve, as nothing (!) matches greatgradma's skill&love she put into baking. I am so sad I won't be able to swing by again before I leave Lousville, but when I'm back in town, I will be back!“

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

“The maple square was amazing, and the service was fast but no one acknowledged me until they were handing me the food. Not a big deal but a simple wave would've made me feel more comfortable as it was my very first time in a Crumbl store.
That and how busy they were didn't help the atmosphere. I mean yay. You're busy. But it was a small area with 2 other people waiting and workers working their butt's off. Not a great atmosphere.“

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

“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!“

“Absolutely delicious! The food and service were amazing. Definitely returning for more. Bonus: Alpha Gal friendly“

“We recommend Sweets by Morgan! She fit us in for a birthday cake order during Thanksgiving weekend. She was super flexible and altered the design when I requested! She has great customer service and is super friendly! I definitely recommend this small business!“

“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 ☺️“

“Blu Bakery made our wedding cake for our August 2025 wedding. We wanted something simple and elegant and they understood completely. They recreated our inspiration photo perfectly. We are so happy we went with them!“

“By far one of the best bakeries in the US. Chef Jackie is exceptionally talented and everything she creates is delicious. The staff is wonderful as well.“

“I’ve had delicious pastries and the most amazing Jule Log from here, and the gift shop area is full of Scandi treasures! I’ll be back for another Jule Log!“

“Ordered a smash cake and a sheet cake for our daughters first birthday. So glad we chose Sweets by Millie! From the beginning, the process was so easy and she understood exactly what I was picturing in my head. The pricing is upfront and matches the quality of cake you will receive. Definitely will be ordering again in the future!“

“It was excellent! Highly recommend you check it out!“

“I went with my wife and toddler on Saturday to Crust & Crumb and it was amazing. We started off with the Blueberry Buckle Coffee Cake, and it was delicious. Then for our main meal my wife had ordered the Sausage/Egg Breakfast Sandwich which was amazing. I ordered the Breakfast Bowl with scrambled eggs, and it was the best breakfast bowl I've ever had. Would highly recommend Crust & Crumb!“

“Great breakfast and an excellent bourbon cookie!“

“Great Bakery“

“Working with this baker, she was amazing. Made our custom design come to life. Picking a flavor was so hard because her flavors were so yummy. Our top is strawberry, middle is bailey's and bottom is strawberry. This fed enough ppl plus more with us saving our top cake. We estimated 75 people when ordering. She arrived on time and the cake was just gorgeous.“

“Yum yum get you some!! 🍩 🍩“

“Recently ordered some Arabic pastries that consisted of chicken. Some of them had cheese, and some had the thyme I highly recommend calling the day before and ordering exactly what you would like. They’re very tasty and very perfect for any gathering.“

“The baristas are friendly, the coffee is strong, and the pastries are scrumptious! It’s a great place to work (free wi-fi for customers) or relax and read. Great atmosphere!“

“This place has just about everything! Sandwiches, coffees, teas, boba, Ramen bowls, Pho, burgers, subs, even specialty corn dogs, and amazing bakery items! Super nice people and everything was great tasting and good serving amounts, all for a decent price in my opinion. Also was playing nice music and had nice decor. Can't wait to go back!“

“Great place to get your food truck business up and running or to optimize your current operation! Super folks to deal with too!“

“The BouCake was a major hit. It was beautiful and delicious! It wasn't only dessert; it was also a conversation piece. Immediately, I was asked by multiple people where I got it. Thank you, Kim, for a beautiful dessert.“

“Beautiful restaurant! So chic and comfy. Quick service. Everything in here is so tasty! I had something from the bakery, a Korean sandwich and black coffee, and everything was extremely delicious. We were having the time of our life and accidentally broke a cup, I was so ashamed, but someone from the staff was so kind and comprehensive. If I could, I'd be in here every day and try out all the menu.“

“I love all things Sweetie Bakery! I’ve tried the white chocolate raspberry cinnamon rolls, brownies, blondes, and custom cookie cakes- and all have been outstanding. Everything we have tried has been delicious and you can tell it’s made with love! I was never a big fan of cookie cakes until I had Sweetie Bakery cookie cakes and let me tell you, they are delicious! The custom cookie cakes I’ve ordered have been amazing, both in flavor and visually. Kailey is so talented! We look forward to trying more baked goods in the future 😊“

“Brittany at Fern Creek store was amazing. She was very helpful and professional and got us together for last minute treats for our son’s birthday!“

“We had a custom cake made for our daughter’s birthday party, and it literally became the showstopper of the party. Dara matched the icing colors to the invitations we had, and everyone kept complimenting how fancy it looked. Then when we ate it everyone gushed how great it tasted. 11/10 I will definitely be hitting her up for more cakes!“

“Stopped in on a whim today and I will definitely be back. Everything I got was absolutely fabulous!“

“Id like to express how delicious with a perfect moist texture and excellent design this cake was. The baker's professionalism and attentiveness to detail was top tier. The cake exceeded expectations. The cake was a big hit at the party and made the occasion feel even more special! I would highly recommend Heitzman Bakery for all future events!“

“I just want to shout out Olivia at the Saint Matthews location. I have never received better customer service in my entire life and I have worked in food service and customer service For 22 years. Last night at about 6 o’clock I ordered a six pack of the regular size Dubai chocolate cookies from the Saint Matthews location. I live in Fairdale and every other location you know relatively not all of them, but most of them were sold out and I was like well I’ll just go to Saint Matthews so I ordered them. I need the store didn’t close till 10 so I decided not to leave the house until eight thirtyish and I don’t drive. I took an Uber. So we get all the way there after paying you know nearly $60 for an Uber and almost 40 for cookies. We’re coming up to $100 just for these cookies at this point we get to Saint Matthews, my youngest daughter and I, and when we get there, the Baker tells us that they do not have any of the regular size Dubai chocolate cookies they only have four minis and I was like OK well can I get a refund and she said we can’t do it without my manager here and I was like some options are cookies I don’t want or no money back and I’ve already spent $100 like I was pretty bummed I wasn’t rude or anything and but I was just really bummed I felt super letdown so that I called my other children and had them pick out what they wanted and they weren’t too excited but you know she could hear their voice is like I guess I’ll take this now. I guess I’ll take that. Well. I alternate between all three of my kids Crumbl points so that they each can accumulate them and get little rewards and things so yesterday was my middle child’s Crumbl point day and my youngest daughter and I leave Crumbl with the cookies. We weren’t really excited about because we didn’t get the one so we wanted and go to target across the street and before we finish at target my middle child calls to tell me that the manager Olivia called and said that she understood where we were really disappointed by not getting the Dubai chocolate cookies and that she wanted to make it up to us especially because we pre-ordered them and came all the way from across town in an Uber to make it up to us and she was going to drop some off to us personally and I was like well that’s great thank you… And I was thinking she meant 10:30 in the morning because you know nobody wants to go across town after work you know after they’ve worked there their little buns off all day so we get home and 🦋💙👩‍👧My Daughter’s like oh well Miss Olivia’s gonna be here the manager and I was like when is she coming? She said oh she’s on her way. Olivia went above and beyond in every Single possible way. Not only did she come with cookies she got all of them to buy chocolate cookies and she made us a gorgeous little cute little box and she also brought a little goodie bag with two chocolate milks, and two white milks and then another little goodie bag she brought two Crumbl Tumblr cups two Crumbl pop socket sands two Crumbl sunglasses Crumbl tattoos and Crumbl stickers I mean she literally just went above and beyond oh and Crumbl keychains and not only that but she drove them all the way from Saint Matthews To Fairdale at 11 something at night she didn’t get to my house till 1130 so I know she didn’t get home until after midnight after working all day long and I I’ve just never had somebody go above and beyond that way in all of my entire life and she really just deserves a shout out. Not only should she get a shout out like she gave the kind of service that I will gladly pay an Uber to take me all the way across town to Saint Matthews. If it means going to Olivia‘s Crumbl.“

“best 🍞 bread and much more 👌“

“Always looking for a great sandwich bread! Well, I’ve just found the best white bread (great sandwich or peanut butter and jelly, it was fresh, tasty and delicious!
We’re not big bread consumers yet, when you need or want a great fresh loaf, Aunt Millie’s it’s going to be, thank you!!“

“The custom cookies for a first birthday party both looked great and were delicious! Everyone was impressed with the number of unique designs. We are so happy with how the cookies turned out! Just wish I would have taken more pictures before they were gone.“
