13 Best Bakeries near Albany

“I'm so thankful for this place, Albany needs more locally owned and operated businesses. I love this place so much! Hot, fresh, & delicious. 🍩 😋 You can literally taste the love!❤️“

“This place is currently called Railway Cafe, and it's got a very cozy, rather nostalgic vibe to it. The servers are very polite, and the food is worth the price. I ordered the fish po'boy, and it was quite possibly the best po'boy I ever had!“

“The best cinnamon rolls ever.“

“We booked the Cocoa Bean bakery for our wedding, and again for our anniversary, and they did not disappoint!! Our wedding cake was absolutely gorgeous. They were very helpful with the creation process, having no issue with us doing two separate cake flavors on different layers. It was, by far, the best cake I’ve ever tasted, and many of our wedding guests said the same (their strawberry filling is delectable!). We decided to get a replica of the cake for our first year anniversary, and Cocoa Bean ever decorated it to match the original first tier of our wedding cake! It was just as delicious as the one from our wedding. Nothing but glowing reviews from us!!“

“The store was very clean. There was a lot of people there because 15 of us girls were at a volleyball camp in Hammond so we wanted so crumble cookie. We got it very fast and the workers were really nice and had a lot
Of energy. I LOVED IT!!!!!!!

Kid-friendliness: It was very kid-friendly“

“Everything is delicious my favorite is the homemade sweet potato pies. If I could give her 20 stars I would“

“Always look forward to Mardi Gras time because that means King Cakes are out. For years I have always told anyone that would listen about Navarre's King Cakes being the best I have ever had.. Except this year something happen. The first one was over the top as usual but the one we bought yesterday was a big disappointment. Something has changed! The icing was different like a cheaper product used or something. Just was not a great product as before. I never had a problem with the price because it was such a "WOW" product to our taste buds but not anymore. If you change the recipe to save a buck, please change it back to that winning product.“

“Brittany made my wedding cake and was definitely the best cake I have ever had! All my guest could not stop talking about how good it was🥰“

“Pull Clip Cafe is a hidden gem! The blueberry scones and the banana walnut muffins are the best I have ever had. I will be back soon and on a regular basis. Do yourself a favor and stop by for one of their delicious baked items and a hot cup of coffee.“

“I just had the BEST experience at Great American Cookie! Not only were the cookies fresh, soft, and absolutely delicious, but the customer service truly made it stand out. The staff was so friendly, patient, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers. It’s rare to find a place that nails both quality and service this well. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!“

“Ummm, I just read a really nasty review, so I am hoping this can help to cancel that out.

I have had NOTHING Bundt (like that? 😉) the BEST experiences at this store. Every time I walk in, the girls are super warm and their attitudes are super inviting. The cakes are ALWAYS, SO fresh and they have a VERY generous reward program via the app/website.

I placed an order back on December 31st, and I was so busy that I never picked it up. Today is February the 3rd and I called to see if I could still get it or at the very least get a refund and the lady Kayla that I spoke with was SO kind, understanding, and accommodating. She said that their staff’s standard protocol is to give the customer a courtesy call if the order is not picked up within 2 days; well, I told her that I never received a call, and I 1000% expected her to be at least partially rude or condescending—which is how most people are these days. Kayla’s response was “I’m so sorry about that. We are a new store, so a lot of us are still learning, but we actually just had a meeting about how we can do things to better serve our customers.” She said every single thing from the answering of my call to seeing me soon to pick up my order, in the kindest, most sincere tone that anyone could imagine. Thank you Kayla and all of the other staff at this location. I dealt with a rude staff member years ago at the Covington location, but “this ain’t that,” as they say 😉😆

Lastly, if you are trying to pick apart someone’s ingredients, etc to boost your own bakery sales, how about you advertise more and not be so abrasive??? That is a sure fire way to NOT get people to support local bakeries. SMH 🤦‍♀️“
