40 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.“

“Absolutely the BEST baked goods. A must-stop if you’re in Grand Rapids!“

“Amazing Cake!! A great Easter and Birthday celebration.“

“The tiramisu latte was delicious. The pastries were so to die for extremely moist and just overall presentation was perfect and the taste was there! Super friendly and the service was amazing“

“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!“

“We are beyond happy with how my son’s birthday cake turned out! I sent just two inspiration photos, and the bakery absolutely exceeded our expectations. 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.“

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

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

“I went to Auntie Anne’s yesterday and the staff was so nice! I had the salted nuggets with cheese and it just melted in my mouth, being soft but also having a perfect crunch from being well baked. I want to give a big thanks to the staff member Kamiya, I believe her name was; she was so sweet and patient with me. There was also another staff member whose name started with R—I can’t quite remember, but both provided wonderful service and food 🤗.“

“Everything was Delicious! we got a little bit of everything at FoodTruck Fridays & I was definitely impressed!“

“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!“

“Ordered 3 dozen cupcakes and after snacks and dinner there were only 5 left. Everyone had to try all 3 kinds! I will use this company again!!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Their deserts are the best of baked goods!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 !“

“The best Aunt Anne’s around! Everything was fresh and DL was amazing- very friendly, patient, and kind, and even helped us with a replacement order when my child dropped theirs on the ground. Thank you Dl! You are awesome! And thank you to everyone at this Aunt Anne’s for being so kind!“

“The staff was very friendly. I tried the new blue raspberry cherry frosting and I believe in a lemon sugar cookie. That was not as sweet as you think and it was very delicious. Highly recommend and I would definitely return to the store and get that cookie again!“

“Yummy desserts! Totally love banana cups!“

“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.“

“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!“

“It’s a city treasure that hold’s memories and traditions for many families in the area. It was very busy today (Sat morning 10:30am) but the staff gets through the line surprisingly quickly but without making you feel rushed. The prices are absolutely amazing for the quality of product and comparable prices in the same area. My only issue when I go there is how in the world do you choose what to get! Amazing selection. Keep up the good work and thank you for my sweet treat this morning.“

“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 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!“

“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!“

“I had so much fun tonight at the Unclaimed Package Bingo! It was such a fun night with my sister and my son. We absolutely loved all the parfaits, and my son devoured the raspberry sorbet! 😂 I will definitely be coming back to break my diet again. Great atmosphere, great desserts, and such a fun experience!“

“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“

“Muy rica la comida y excelente servicio! 💯% recomendado! / The food is very tasty and excellent service! I recommend it 💯%“
