12 Best Bakeries in Hickory

“Today is my birthday and I was looking forward to a birthday reward in the app. I never received one. I go in and tell them today is my birthday and didn't have the reward in my app ( I didn't know you had to be a silver level) the gentleman working explained the reason I didn't have the reward and he was kind enough to give me a cookie for my birthday today!!“

“This is my all time favorite place to order a cake from - they are THE most delicious cakes, cupcakes and cake plops I have ever tasted since the cakes my mother used to make. Nothing else compares. The service is great, people are phenomenal and experience is top notch. You will NOT be disappointed to give this bakery a chance with your order. Thank you to Corner Bakery for pulling the order for our bridal shower off without a hitch and we want you to know that there were so many that raved over the cakes and cupcakes. There wasn't a cupcake left after it was all over!!“

“Best wedding cake ever! The sweetest lady there made our dream wedding cake! Not here to slander another business, but our original wedding cake came from another place and it was an absolute disaster. We went here, the day before the wedding, and explained what had happened and showed her the cake. She made this bride so inexplicably happy when she said she could make me a brand new cake, exactly the way I wanted it, in 24 hours. The end result was better than I could have dreamed it to be! She was absolutely amazing, in customer service and in her baking/decorating abilities. I highly recommend this shop to anyone needing any types of cakes or cookies for special occasions. They will make sure it is what you want and make it look incredible!“

“I just love this little bakery. They are always welcoming and so sweet. I love the whoopie pies they make. My favorites are pumpkin and oatmeal. Both are soft and filled with vanilla buttercream that is smooth not broken. I also love the little banana bread loaves moist with chocolate chips and pecans, only thing I wish they were much bigger. We will be bringing our grandson to play putt putt soon. What fun! Support home town, it’s so worth it!“

“Placed an order through the NBC website for delivery, NBC arranged Uber Eats to deliver, Uber Eats driver falsely reported to have completed the delivery, store manager promptly provided a refund and assisted with replacement order. Excellent customer service to save the day!“

“They have plenty of cases filled with an amazing variety of pan dulce (which I recently discovered is pronounced dull-se). I got a wide variety for a low price. I went around 9am on a Thursday, it wasn’t busy which was nice for me to take time and pick out what I wanted to try. Everything was delicious, fresh and appealing to look at 🤩💘“

“The barista recommended I try a BEC (provolone) on croissant with the sauce (similar to yum yum) on the side. White chocolate mocha (hot) made w/ macadamia nut milk alternative. The best I’ve had (sandwich & coffee) !!! My first time at Waterbean & I will definitely be back. The service was EXCELLENT also!“

“Love this store! Most people assume it's expired or close to expired goods. That is NOT the case. For example, Dave's Killer Bread, Flowers is only $2 and Lowe's is charging $6.99, Walmart grocery is $6.42 - same loaf, same expiration dates across the board. I just hit all 3 of these stores TODAY. So that's active pricing, current expiration dates. If you're trying to squeeze more out of your tight grocery budget, you need to come here and check it out.“

“Met my boyfriend for our first date here 3 years ago. Just recently moved back to this area, was looking for a chill coffee spot. Went here once by myself. Neat spot, good atmosphere. We sat inside. The cashier stared at us the whole time and asked us to hurry. They told us we had a limit of an hour inside. We didn't question it and left. This was 3 years ago. Could of been my new favorite coffee spot. Have not and will not be back.“

“Always nice and friendly staff!!!! The coffee is fabulous!!!“
