13 Best Bakeries in Rochester

“The raspberry lemon bundlette is the best gluten free cake I've ever had. It did not taste gluten free at all, and my partner agreed. Exceptionally moist with tasty cream cheese icing.

I've been hesitant to order here, but I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Ingredients are far superior to Hy-vee, Target and other supermarkets where quality has gone downhill over the years.“

“I not only buy our bread weekly from Great Harvest Bread, I give bread and bags of cookies as gifts to people we appreciate. Also, the friendliness and helpfulness of all at the North Broadway location makes it a favorite place to shop. I hope to keep finding energy bars in stock. Wow! Powerful and healthy!“

“We got there at 11:00am and Mary was the hostess...she was so wonderful in a very stressful time...they were packed and she got us seated quick...my wife uses a walker !!! Great experience !“

“Crumbl Cookies is always fun with its rotating weekly menu and big, indulgent flavors. I love their super thick chocolate chip cookie, but I’m also a fan of their super thin version because the bottom caramelizes and gives it a perfect sweet crunch. I was also surprised by how much I enjoyed the Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake cookie even though I don’t normally like cheesecake. Great flavors, huge cookies and always something new to try.“

“This place is so nice for a quick breakfast or snack. I stopped here to grab donuts for the office and I was beyond impressed. The staff was super friendly and helped me pick out some good flavors. Unlike a lot of other places the price doesn’t change depending on the flavor. The price only changes depending on how many you get. Also it is for a good cause, every purchase goes towards braces for children with cancer. So while you cheat on your diet you won’t feel guilty since it is for the kids. Worth giving it a try“

“Nestled inside the Hy-Vee Market, this very friendly and accomodating grill offers breakfast, lunch and dinner along with a selection of beverages. After a couple of visits, you feel like a regular when they greet you by name. Always a wonderful place for an awesome breakfast!“

“I really enjoyed my visit to Mochinut. The mochi donuts were soft, chewy, and delicious. I also tried their Korean corn dogs and bubble tea. I recommend getting the half half corn dog with both sausage and cheese instead of just one or the other. I ordered the cheese dog and regretted it once I tasted the half half my husband had since it was much better. The bubbles in my bubble tea were cooked to perfection and had just the right texture. The atmosphere and music in the store added to the overall experience. I would definitely come back and recommend it to others.“

“The workers are always so sweet and patient. I go in with my niece and nephew and they love it. The workers have given them boba stickers. we love the flair of their tea and the flavors. Awesome business.“

“Beautiful inside and the desserts we tried were phenomenal! By far the best bakery I’ve ever been to! Decadent, amazing flavor, perfect in every way!“

“Very cool coffee shop within a greenhouse and gift shop. Coffee was very good and reasonably priced. They have a small selection of food which I did not try so not sure if it is good. Great spots to sit all over and work or just enjoy all the greenery“

“I visited Spyhouse Coffee Roasters in Rochester on a quiet Sunday morning, and it instantly stood out as a refined, intentional space that takes coffee seriously. From the moment I stepped in, the aroma of freshly ground beans and the clean, modern aesthetic created a calm and inviting atmosphere. The space is beautifully designed—minimalist yet warm, with large windows that flood the room with natural light, perfect for a slow morning or catching up on reading.

I ordered a single-origin pour-over and a croissant, and both exceeded expectations. The coffee was exceptionally well-brewed—bright, layered, and clearly sourced with care. The baristas were friendly but not overbearing; they knew their craft and were happy to explain the tasting notes. I also appreciated that they offered alternative milk options and had a thoughtful, small menu of pastries that paired well with their drinks.

What I loved most about Spyhouse was its balance between sophistication and comfort. It’s not just a place to grab a quick coffee—it invites you to stay, sip, and enjoy the experience. Whether you’re a coffee enthusiast or just want a beautiful spot to unwind in Rochester, Spyhouse delivers both in quality and atmosphere. I’ll definitely return next time I’m in town.
