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.“

“The bagels are fresh and flavorful. The cream cheese mixes are full of spices and are so good. Chicken noodle soup is really good and flavorful with some great broth. The only thing I would suggest is for someone to clean the walls and ledges as they were really dusty. That is kind of off putting. The counter in the front appeared clean. We will be back!“

“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!“

“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.🔥🔥“

“Amazing taste and customer service“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Glow Worm is a Louisville institution at this point, and essential for any parent in the city (or beyond - we make the drive from La Grange). A drop-in for a pastry is well worth your time even if you don't have kids with you. If you work remote or hybrid and need a slice of sanity, the Glow Work visits are especially excellent, as Sydney & co. are really sweet caregivers and the "classroom" is a peaceful setting full of endless stuff for your kid to get into, especially arts and crafts activities that 1) you always want to do with your kids but can't break off the prep and clean-up time around the house for during the day, and 2) wouldn't be quite right for the regular play area visits. "Big-kid Legos," too. The work area outside the classroom is thoughtfully set up, lots of tidy power stations, privacy screens for each table, and *bottomless coffee.* I can focus here better than my desk at home, especially knowing my kids are having a blast in the next room.“

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

“One of our team members said: "I can confirm that these beautiful desserts taste just as good as they look! We tried a Green Apple, Pear, and Cloud Nine on our first trip in. Each had so many unexpected layers and textures, it was hard to pick a favorite. We split the 3 desserts between 4 people and it was plenty filling! Their hours are a bit unique, but I get this is due to their high demand and they post them regularly on Instagram, so check before you go! If you're in the Louisville area, you have to try this place!"“

“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 ☺️“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Blu Bakery created an exact replica of the cake picture I sent! Also helped me out with delivery and pickup as we are from out of state and birthday girl was there visiting for the birthday! They had quick communications with me and professionalism. Customer service was A+ and I can’t wait to come down and order more goodies from them!“

“From the pastries and bread to the sandwiches and drinks, everything is perfection. You can tell it’s been crafted with care, and every item I’ve had here has been wonderful - keeps me coming back over and over. Quality is barr-none. The owners and staff have been nothing but friendly, polite, and caring. The venue is the cutest and it’s a place I always look forward to visiting. I can’t give enough stars.“

“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!“

“Great breakfast and an excellent bourbon cookie!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 😊“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Support a locally owned and operated bakery. The best tres leches cake I’ve ever had! Made from scratch and with love. They also have amazing tortilla chips. Do yourself a favor and go check it out! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Very cute little bakery! I always loved Thornberrys bakery! I've only had the chocolate delights aka no bake cookies so far! They're fabulous... My daughter got a cupcake today and it was a very beautiful presentation. She said it was delicious as well. I'm very happy to see them I'm the Beechmont neighborhood! We need more places like this.“

“I ordered some muffins from this sweet shop for an event, and they turned out absolutely incredible, outstanding! They were not only delicious but also beautifully made. The team was so kind and lovely to work with. Adorable place, highly recommended!“

“10/10!! Love These cookies so much and the hype is real. I love that they change the menu every Monday and I look forward to finding things I haven’t tried and also their secret menu. The Benson Boome Moonbeam Icecream cookie is out of this world no pun intended.“

“The Bourbon Balls are so good and decadent!“

“Christina's cakes are beautiful and so delicious! Her prices are the best around and she has tons of flavor options. She has made my son's birthday cake for years and we have loved it every time. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing cakes! So happy to finally have an Indiana location.“
