8 Best Bakeries near Kitty Hawk

“Awesome awesome awesome! The lobster tail is unbelievably delicious! The cinnamon buns are ahhh mazing! The sugar cookie with sprinkles, perfect! All these years coming to the OBX and driving past Tullio's...oh what I have missed!! I highly recommend this bakery. Bring your patience because it is a small space and there are others there to also indulge, but I promise it's worth the time and effort to purchase these treats!“

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Debra and Icing on the Cakes in Kitty Hawk, NC! I had preordered a German chocolate cake for my dad’s 75th birthday, which we were planning to celebrate on the second day of our beach vacation. Unfortunately, when we arrived at our rental, it turned out to be uninhabitable. After hours of back-and-forth with the rental company, we made the difficult decision to drive 5 hours back to my dad’s home instead.

I reached out to Debra to let her know we wouldn’t be able to pick up the cake the next day since we were leaving the area. She told me she had just finished baking it and, with the kindest heart, offered to ice it right away so we could grab it on our way out of town. An hour later, we had a beautifully finished German chocolate cake in hand.

Not only was Debra incredibly accommodating and compassionate, but the cake itself was absolutely delicious—rich, moist, and hands down one of the best German chocolate cakes we’ve ever had. She truly went above and beyond, and thanks to her, we were still able to celebrate my dad’s milestone birthday in a special way. Highly recommend!“

“My beautiful friend ordered a surprise cake for me, for my birthday. I wish I could add a photo to my review because it is gorgeous. My friend told me it was fun talking with the lady she ordered from. The cake is one of the best I’ve had, and I love cake ❤️ Thank you“

“Holly was such a pleasure to work with. I shared my ideas for a luau theme & she created the most gorgeous cake. Everyone was blown away by how beautiful it was! Not only that, but it tasted incredible!! The chocolate buttercream was delicious, the marble cake was so moist, the colorful vanilla buttercream outside with the flowers…everything was so, so yummy!! Holly even delivered to our vacation home, which was amazing & helped me out so much!“

“Cupcakes are delicious and fresh. Owner is very professional and responsive. She takes great pride in her work and it shows through the look and taste of her desserts. You won’t be disappointed.“

“What can I say..well let's start here. The owner is a friend of mine I've know for a few years now. And to say he is a baker does not do him justice. He is well knowledged in what he is doing. And to step into his bakery is well...PROOF. He takes his business seriously to say the least. Professional is key word here. So if you are looking to find the finest homemade Delectables to take home and enjoy and share look no further. There are many fine upstanding bakeries here on the Outer Banks. Do not let this one slip through your fingers or tastebuds.“

“The staff is like no other, I truly enjoyed my time here especially for it being my first time at this establishment. The staff did an amazing job explaining everything to me as-well as treating my family amazing I highly recommend this to anyone visiting!“

“Stopped for the ice cream fell in love with the cookies. The ice cream is from a NC creamery and I recommend the Lemon Crunch 🍋 But the cookies are a blessing for your taste buds. I got the coconut cookie and my husband raved about the white chocolate macadamia. I wish we had tried this sooner... but it's 10 miles down the beach 😆“
