38 Best Bakeries in Grand Rapids

“My son just graduated from high school and wanted donuts at his graduation party. I decided to order from Phoenix Rising and I am so glad I did!! The ordering was easy and they were super friendly to work with. I ordered 15 dozen in addition to donut holes. They were delicious and beautiful. They gave us a large variety and it was all ready on time. I am so happy we ordered from here. Couldn’t be happier with the process. We definitely found our new donut place.“

The cake was adorable, beautifully detailed, and matched the theme perfectly even better than I imagined. You can truly tell how much care and talent went into it. We will definitely be back and highly recommend to anyone looking for a custom cake done right! 🎂🎉“

“Everything is delicious. I especially enjoy their breads and quiche. The employees are always pleasant and accommodating. I have not been to the Caledonia location yet but have been to their Cascade location for many years, many years. Very pleased with them.“

“Love everything I've ever purchased here! The butter croissants are the best I've ever had! Buttery, flaky layers and so delicious!“

“I recently took an artisan sourdough bread class and absolutely loved it! 🥖 Pam was so fun, friendly, and incredibly informative throughout the entire class. You can tell she truly enjoys teaching and sharing her knowledge. I learned so much, felt comfortable asking questions, and left feeling inspired (and excited to keep baking 🍞). If you’ve been thinking about taking a sourdough class, I highly recommend hers!“

“awesome bagels, awesome environment, and awesome customer service!“

“Tasty macarons and very knowledgeable staff!! Highly recommend. She gave amazing suggestions.“

“connie’s cakes tasted AMAZING! best vanilla cake i’ve ever had, we will be saving half for our one year anniversary! communication was good, however we were discussing we get a heart shaped vintage cake for our wedding day and they ended up making a circular cake day of. our coordinator picked it up for us and we were able to pay over the phone for easy pick up! i recommend with how good the cake tasted!“

“I have been a loyal and happy customer for 15 plus years, hear that, more than fifteen years! And to learn that these B’s have been holding out on me. The absolute nerve! They have been holding out on the carrot cake… keeping it hidden somewhere… away from me! It’s !&$/“?> garbage. I am warning ya’ll right now DO NOT get the carrot cake, you might die of happiness. Heaven on earth right there it is. Here I thought that pie company or the round cake place had the best. No. Just fricken no. This gooey glorious deliciousness. I’m telling ya. You know the worst part!?! They could totally have itty bitty toothpick sample bites and let us know! But NO. It’s like some top secret sauce for their keeping. Ridiculous! I will have you know that my Birthday is coming up and you BETTER save me a piece. The nerve!!! FIFTEEN years! I feel like someone owes me an apology! 5 stars I would share a picture but I ate it all. And than licked the carry out box. Don’t you dare judge me!“

“I wish they had a storefront 😭😭 Kind crumbs has THE BEST allergy friendly baked goods. I’m so glad the Family Fare in Allendale carries some of their goods. These cinnamon rolls are better than any cinnamon roll I’ve tasted even reheated. Their doughnuts are also amazing.“

“Love everything I've ever purchased here! The butter croissants are the best I've ever had! Buttery, flaky layers and so delicious!“

“Van’s Pastry Shoppe is one of the best local bakeries in Grand Rapids. The owners are incredibly friendly, everything is made fresh daily, and the donuts, pastries, and cookies are amazing. The shop has a really welcoming old-school feel, and the unique cookie jars throughout the store make it a fun place to visit. You can tell they care about quality and their customers. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in Grand Rapids and looking for fresh baked goods and great service!“

“There’s so many delicious options! Perfect perfect is one word to describe Bakery Margo! Best I ever had!“

“I've used NBC for two events now and ordered a variety of flavors in the bundtini's for both events. Each time the bundtini's were a major hit! There have been very few left overs each time, much to my dismay.😉Ordering and pick up is a breeze, you can tell they do catering/orders regularly and they have their systems down. The price point is really affordable in my opinion. I will probably continue to use them if I need desserts at an event again in the future. Easy decision, and very tasty.“

“Dreamscape Desserts was wonderful to work with! They were always quick to respond, answered all of our questions, and made the ordering process simple and stress-free.

For our wedding, we ordered the brownie bites and cheesecake bites, and they were an absolute hit! We intentionally ordered extra so we’d have leftovers to enjoy after the wedding, but our guests loved them so much that my husband and I had to hurry over and grab some before they were all gone!

Not only were the desserts delicious, but they were also very reasonably priced, especially for the quality. We received so many compliments from our guests, and they disappeared faster than we ever expected.

I would absolutely recommend Dreamscape Desserts to anyone looking for delicious desserts, excellent customer service, and great value. They were one of the easiest vendors we worked with and exceeded our expectations!“

“This is a wonderful bakery!! We served their donuts at a conference this weekend and everyone commented on how delicious they were!!!“

“Their deserts are the best of baked goods!“

“I had such a great experience at Crumbl cookies today.
It was my cheat day for the month and I had been CRAVING. A soft cookie. I decided on Crumbl since it had been a while.
I went in and the store was clean, everyone seemed to be in a good mood, and the employee that helped me was really nice. I didn’t know what flavor to get and I didn’t want to get something and be disappointed, and jokingly told the employee that it would literally ruin my whole day if I took a risk and ended up not liking it. 💀🤣 which I mean is kind of true. So I asked which one was his favorite which was the Oreo one. I got it, waited maybe two minutes. And then a different employee handed me my cookie with a big smile on her face! I told her necklace was so pretty! Because it reminded me of lord of the rings.
Anyway, When I got to the car I opened the box, snapped a pic for the gram, then took a bite. It was SO good!!!! 😊😭🩷
10/10 will return for my next cheat day.
Because the customer service was amazing and the cookie was amazing!
But thank you for making part of my day off amazing!“

“The Spelt is the best bread I have found since moving here from the east side- Bakeries here are a vast wasteland“

“The cake was amazing. The absolute best buttercream frosting I've ever had. She made my daughter's birthday cake a couple months back and now her graduation cake. Everyone said it was the best they've had. The price was great as well. Definitely going back and recommend pink daisy.“

“I just got these cookies today and I had to come and review them. There I was minding my own business when all of a sudden I see a little cart with cookies on it. My eyes absolutely lit up when I saw the beautiful words “GLUTEN FREE”. I got the lemon one and the chocolate chip one and my friends…. Oh my friends it’s sooooo good! She even had a vegan one that my daughter was able to eat and LOVE as well! I am absolutely tickled to have found these. I want to try them ALLLLLL!“

“Yummy desserts! Totally love banana cups!“

“pretzel nuggets, I love them. Hot, fresh and always delicious. The pretzels are always nice and soft!
KT was wonderful — helpful with recommendations, quick with our order, and genuinely cared that we enjoyed our snack. Service deliver by her is why we’ll be back again !“

“My nephew and I shared a meal here today and our experiences ranged from very good to off the scale great. We tried a Hot Mess breakfast with eggs, potatoes, chorizo,etc; it was perfectly balanced (neither to spicy or bland), super fresh; loved it. We also got a grilled cheese, with pepper jelly. The bread was the best ever (toasted perfectly) and crunchy, and it wasn't to cheesy (some places put too much cheese which makes it messy) with just enough pepper jelly to create an original experience; and one of my favorite sandwiches of my life. The salad was the low point of the meal as it was merely perfect. We also got a chocolate croissant which was great and a pot de creme which was decadent and..can I say perfect again. This is my new favorite place“

“Stopped into Sugar Bar last weekend and there were too many desserts to pick from. Customer service was amazing. My wife and I ordered the Creme Brulee Cheesecake (10/10), Banana pudding (10/10), Tiramisu (10/10) and the Reese's pie (9/10). The Reese's pie was great, but too rich. You can't go wrong with any dessert here. If you haven't stopped in, you need to check this place out ASAP!“

“Went to Cinnabon to get a pack of rolls to share at work for my birthday :) Anu was my cashier and she was so sweet, she talked me into getting the 6pack instead of the 4pack and I’m glad she did :) I loveee Cinnabon and I will definitely be back soon 😍“

“Amanda did an amazing job on my daughter's wedding cake. She was very professional in supplying us samples before we ordered, created a delicious and moist carrot cake, decorated it exactly as my daughter wanted and went above and beyond in making sure we had everything we needed at pick up to set up ourselves. I highly recommend Amanda at Frosted Elegance Custom Cakes.“

“I had the dark chocolate merlot cupcake and it was delicious. The cupcake was not overly sweet and had fantastic chocolate flavor. It was also moist. Definitely recommend!“

“Rise created the most wonderful cupcakes for our nurses for Nurses Appreciation Week 2026. The cupcakes were decorated with a stethoscope, heartbeat, pills and bandaid. All the nurses loved them. Also, they tasted AMAZING! I highly recommend Rise for your sweet treats and cake needs.“
