50 Best Bakeries in Charlotte

“I have a son who is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts, and we’ve always been looking for a store where we could get a cake for his birthday, or for any of our birthdays, really. And for the first time, we went to this shop, and it was amazing. My son ate his cake, and we had no issues with cross-contamination or anything like that. So I highly recommend it to anyone who has any kind of allergy, whether it’s to peanuts, tree nuts, or seeds.Thank you for making this type of cake ❤️🫶🏼“

“Amazing donuts amazing service! It took me a while to try them, but after hearing so many folks rave about how special they are, I had to give them a try. I got the raspberry sprinkle, brown butter with sorghum caramel, the ginger peach old fashioned, and the specialty lemon blueberry cinnamon roll. They were all to die for!!! 10/10 would get again“

“This is my fav bakery!! I live 40 mins away and take every chance I can to stop by here. From their cakes (you have to try red velvet and snickerdoodle!) to their OCP, and a new fav of mine, cinnamon biscuit! On top of that, they’re always beyond friendly, and when ordering custom, quick to respond!“

“I ordered 2 custom eggless cakes from sweet magic and they turned out better than my expectations. One was a mango cake and it was TALL! Amazing decoration and tasty soft flaky! The other was grad cake and it was a red velvet with vanilla cream , again eggless! It was beautiful! Loved the color, taste and everything about it.“

“I “THOUGHT” there was no better sourdough bread than Whole Foods. After purchasing sourdough bread from Verdant Bread, I stand corrected. The sourdough bread has such a crunchy crust, and delicious sourdough taste, I am hooked!!! absolutely delicious. I will be a regular customer!!!“

“Popped into Littl Madeleine during a quick break in Indian Land and I am a fan. I had the strawberry cream cheesecake and a matcha oat latte - light, refreshing, and exactly what I needed. The space is clean, bright, and simple in the best way, and the team was wonderful. Big shout-out for the gluten-free options. Also love the small details-wooden cutlery, coasters, and pretty dishware-you can feel the care that goes into everything. I will be back soon-and bringing friends.“

“Just had Radah for the first time yesterday! I got a mystery box and mannnnn it did not disappoint!!! Everything was absolutely AMAZING!!! So soft, and taste was on point. You can tell some love and hard work really went into these products! 10/10 recommend and will definitely be coming back for more!“

“AMAZING! Got my mom the Mother's Day Bundl, gave it to her early, and she loved it! She let me try a bite of each cookie, they were great! Pink Velvet Heart Cake was exceptionally great! Thanks, Crumbl for making this Mother's day special.“

“Charlotte’s hidden gem! The Vermont maple farm burger is probably my favorite burger I’ve ever eaten- and I’ve eaten a LOT of burgers over the years. Carol and staff are super friendly. Don’t forget to get some fresh fries too!“

“We stopped by and got a variety of treats. Everything was SO good!“

“Incredible Atmosphere & World-Class Pastries!
Amélie’s French Bakery - Uptown is an absolute gem. The atmosphere is so cool and perfectly eclectic, making it a fantastic spot to hang out. The food was delicious across the board, but the pastries are completely off the chain.
Everything we ordered was fantastic:
Savory: The Roasted Veggie Salad was excellent, and the celery seed balsamic dressing was absolutely delicious.
Pastries & Treats: We couldn't resist trying a few things, and every single one hit the mark. The Napoleons and the Vanilla Eclairs were executed perfectly, and the Tiramisu Torte was incredibly rich.
The Brownies: The classic Salted Caramel Brownie and the Salted Caramel Brownie Layer Torte are must-tries if you visit.
Great food, amazing treats, and a uniquely vibrant space. We will definitely be back!“

“We’ve driven past this restaurant for years and we decided to try it today and boy do we wish we had gone there much earlier! The food was delicious, the owner/manager could not have been more friendly and what a great atmosphere. My husband had the gyro and I had the Greek dish, along with splitting the most delicious baklava. Highly recommend!“

“This is the most unique place in Charlotte. A MUST visit. They have two locations!!!!“

“I had an awesome experience at Crumbl in Steele Creek! Angelina, Gallin, and Jaden all provided outstanding customer service. They were friendly, welcoming, and made sure everything was perfect from the moment I walked in. The cookies were fresh, delicious, and looked amazing. It’s employees like Angelina, Gallin, and Jaden who make you want to keep coming back. Thanks for the great experience—I highly recommend this location!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot say enough great things about Smallcakes in Charlotte! I came in last minute—just two days before my granddaughter’s birthday—seeking help for a customized Moana cake, and the owner went above and beyond to make it happen. He was so friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful. He jumped right in without hesitation and saved the day! When we picked up the cake, it was exactly what we asked for—beautifully done and absolutely perfect for the occasion. And the taste? So moist and delicious—you could taste the love baked into it. If you’re ever in need of a custom cake, or even just want to treat yourself to one of their specialty cupcakes or the most delicious ice cream around, I highly recommend stopping by Smallcakes. They’ve gained a loyal customer for life!“

“Magnificent, authentic Brazilian food. Great atmosphere. Friendly, caring staff.“

“The place was packed when we walked in around 11 a.m. I immediately loved the atmosphere and what they are trying to say about their shop and Alice in Wonderland.
Bathrooms were very clean and smelled good.
You know I am addicted to great customer service and I was not disappointed.
We order several items.
I would absolutely recommend!“

“The best bakery in Charlotte. The savory shortbread is amazing.“

The desserts here are also a must try“

“All of their items are AMAZING!!!!!!! I ordered a few Biscoff cinnamon rolls and Samoa cookies and they were huge and tasted great!!!!! Service at pick up was also equally as amazing!!! Will definitely be back!!!!!“

“You don’t know what you’re missing out on if you haven’t used Bakery Atelier! This cake looked amazing, and even better - taste was exquisite! Highly recommend for any gatherings you’re planning in the future. We will definitely be ordering again! And you talk about creativity - look at the ice cubes in the photos (in comments)!!“

“The cupcakes are delicious but Ayana should not be running that store alone and definitely needs some training on how to work in a restaurant. 5+1=6 I hope she sees this review too. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL EXPERIENCE. I ordered online they didn’t have one of my cupcakes she said she called I said I was sorry I didn’t get a call. Then proceeded to tell me I ordered seven cupcakes when I looked at the receipt there was five cupcakes and one extra adding up to six total cupcakes. She argued with me about the amount of cupcakes I ordered.“

“Excellent service and pastries“

“Love!!!!! Mom and I scooped us up some goodies today! Thanks!“

“This was a first experience for me with The Salty Donut. My office does a monthly birthday celebration for everyone who has a birthday that month, so we decided to do a breakfast celebration. I plugged in donut places near our office in ChatGPT, and The Salty Donut was one of them. I took a look at their website and what they have to offer and was very impressed. I loved their variety, so we decided to go with them. We had them delivered, and the driver was right on time. She was very friendly & professional. Everyone in the office LOVED them. I had people tell me that they were the BEST donuts they had ever had!
To wrap it up in two words: RIDICULOUSLY GOOD!
We'll be ordering from them again for sure.“

“From our first conversation with Tasha, I knew she would make something special. I’d seen the photos on her website and already knew her work was impeccable. This was our first time ordering a custom cake and she was very patient with us and helped us through the process. We were celebrating my dad’s 75th birthday. We sent over some inspiration photos and told her some things about my dad and she put together the most beautiful work of art. This cake was made with love ya’ll. The staff and even other restaurant guests were commenting on it. My dad was so honored that she’d captured him so well in the cake. The details from the basketballs to the chalkboard were immaculate and thoughtful. This blew us away and exceeded all of our expectations. If you are looking for a cake artist, you’ve come to the right place. Not only is she a talented baker ( because of course it was delicious), she provides excellent customer care.“

“The chocolate cake may be the best thing I've ever eaten. If it fell on the floor after I bought it, I'd eat it Chandler and Rachel style off the floor. The macarons are very fluffy and delicious too. I was not a fan of the smores bar though. It was too hard and heavy.“

“100% love this place so much“

“Delicious Baked Goods Savory & Sweet❣️ The Employees Who Work There Were Very Helpful & Welcoming❣️ The Wonderful Manager Checked In On Us, To See If Everything Was To Our Liking❣️ This Place Is Top Notch‼️ Just Yummy❣️😋❤️“

“Pleasantly surprised by an extreme array of some of the most innovative, beautiful, and delicious pastries we’ve ever tasted. We had to go back again for the mixed berry danish. The second time, we were offered a complimentary macaron…. Until I tried this macaron I would say they were mid, now I’m a big fan.“

“We had a few different treats. The filled donuts were amazing. Not too sweet and the mango and strawberry fillings had a slight tartness which was nice. The Almond toast had a very hard crust though would probably not take that again. Was a little confusing since its self serve and you need to figure it out.“

“yummmmmm.... Give these a go!“

“Had such a great experience at Dip and Sip today at around 8pm! The girl working was completely by herself handling every single order, and she did it with so much grace, patience, and such a positive attitude. Even while staying busy nonstop, she was still friendly, welcoming, and made sure everyone was taken care of. You could tell she was working incredibly hard and still giving amazing customer service. Employees like her are the reason people come back. She truly deserves recognition for how awesome she was!“

“I love this place .. the pineapple cake was soo soo good!! wow 👌. I am coming back tomorrow !!“

“Everything this place is awesome“

“We enjoy meeting up here to chat. We always check the day old pastry basket before we order- and often there are yummy treasures to try! The seasonal syrups for lattes are delicious.“

“she made my great niece 2nd birthday cake it was so good ...“

“Unique and tasty! The owners are stellar, too.“

“Muy buen trabajo gracias por todo“

“Amazing staff and amazing variety of coffee and other hot and cold caffeinated drinks! Highly recommend“

“Had a great meal at one of the outside tables. Service was quick and friendly and food was delicious! The Shakshuka with the charred toast was incredibly flavor. Bit hard to find street parking but otherwise a delightful breakfast experience.“

“First visit to the Cakeable cafe and it won’t be the last! Tristan was a joy to meet. I feel like we are now besties! Atmosphere is awesome!“

“So glad we stopped by during a short trip to Charlotte! What a gorgeous bakery with stunning desserts! The staff was so helpful and friendly, describing all the pastries we asked about. I ordered the Oreo Entremet and they slipped in a mini peanut butter tart! Both were absolutely delicious! They were not overly sweet and all the components were so complementary of each other. My friend got macarons to take home to her family. It’s a bonus to find out their macarons were featured in the Hunger Games! Definitely a must stop by if you’re in town!“

“I stumbled upon Mom Moms bakery looking for a cherry pie for my MIL’s birthday! We found them and ordered a cherry pie and it was INCREDIBLE. It was still warm when it was delivered! Linda was so wonderful, texting us and keeping us up to date on timing throughout the day and couldn’t have been nicer. This is going to be a new regular spot for our family to order cakes and pies for special occasions! Couldn’t recommend more!“
