50 Best Bakeries in Raleigh

“Stopped by yesterday and got a croissant and a coffee, hands down one of the best ways to start my day. Everything was great and I will definitely be coming back with the family!“

“Each time we have served deliciousness from Cupcakes d'Amour, everyone asks "Where did you get this?" The cupcake flavors are so unique and yummy with just the right amount of frosting that is not too sweet.“

“Super good.Saw the van today. Yum. Put some on your holiday table.“

“I absolutely love Crumbl! Every visit feels like a sweet little treat for myself and my family. The cookies are always fresh, warm, and packed with flavor. I enjoy how the menu changes weekly – it’s exciting to see what new flavors are available, and there’s always something for everyone to enjoy.

The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the store itself is clean and inviting. I really appreciate how carefully they package the cookies too – they always look picture-perfect.“

“The cake was so amazing! One layer was pretty in pink, another the lemon curd. A customer for life.“

“I love these cookies. They taste great, just the right amount of sweet. I now have ordered Christmas duos for family in Colorado. Our family loves Southern Sugar Bakery. Thank you.“

“I recently moved to the area so I went in for a loaf of sourdough and a blueberry cake and croissant while I was at it. Quick and easy service even when busy.
They have a decent amount of ready to go items like jams, merch and such. Gotta try some next time.“

“Great pastries, but the frustrating thing about it is they don’t stock enough or bake enough on the weekends. They know it’s always crowded but any time I go around 11am-12pm, they are out of most pastries. It can be frustrating when you don’t live in downtown and drive out of the way to go there.

Seems like they lose money from not baking enough. I understand you also can’t bake too much as you lose money that way.

First world problems but I hope they adjust inventory to last longer given their closing time is 4pm. They stock as if it closes at 12pm“

“BEST COOKIE IV EVER HAD. I just recently came to this location and not just purchased the most outstanding cookie, but was giving world class customer service. Dulce behind the counter was extremely helpful and made my experience top tier. She is an asset to the Crumbl team. The entire team there was welcoming and the cookie was great, couldn’t have asked for more“

“Delicious and creative! Perfect for special events“

“I can’t say enough good things about Paul and Jack in Raleigh! Their desserts are absolutely excellent — from flaky croissants and creative pastries to rich cheesecakes and seasonal treats, there’s so much variety to choose from that every visit feels like a new adventure. The quality and flavors are consistently top-notch, and every item I’ve tried has been delicious. If you love great baked goods and a huge selection of sweets, this bakery is a must-visit!“

“I order cookies from here very often through the Crumbl app and have never had problems with delivery. Last night I ordered and sadly DoorDash messed up big time. Person “couldn’t find” my apartment which has never happened and decided to drop off the box at the front office which was closed. I get there and they were stolen. I called the store asking what could we do and Caroline picked up and PERSONALLY delivered a new box of cookies to me herself. I don’t write google reviews often but Caroline was so accommodating that I feel I had to do this. As a person that works in a customer facing industry, Caroline has gone above and beyond! I know it may seem like a box of cookies but they are my finances favorite and I’m surprising her at the airport with this box that Caroline delivered as I type this.“

“The pumpkin pie we got for Thanksgiving was absolutely delicious. The buttery, flaky crust and perfect spice profile was perfect and we will be ordering another for Christmas and want to try the apple pie as well!“

“The best student center in NCSU. Stores, coffee shops are good!“

“I love these cakes! Can you say Hi to marko for me??? He made my cake and it was delicious. Also i want his number Pls. He makes the best cakes but I want his instead??“

“the peanut butter oreo flavor was just right. not too overwhelming“

“UPDATED RESPONSE: The food here was excellent — great quality and outstanding flavor. The restaurant was very clean, which I really appreciated. They didn’t have bottled water, (update: they had filtered water better than bottled for free!) and the person taking our order wasn’t very friendly or welcoming (maybe he was having a bad day it’s hard to tip a cashier who isn’t friendly). However, the overall experience was still very positive. The food and cleanliness definitely make this a restaurant worth it!“

“I bought the Key Lime pie for my hubby's birthday and it was fantastic! Rich, creamy, with a perfect key lime flavor. Crust was light and just enough crunch. Definitely will order from Burney's again!“

“Great. First time here and will definitely will be back!“

“I walked in near closing, & the lady was friendly & welcoming. I told her my vision based on a dessert, and she made it happen. Build-Your-Own with icing, strawberries, and pretzels slaps!“

“Absolutely the best carrot cake that you will ever taste! Folks that don’t like carrot cake, eat this cake. Always so fresh, perfectly spiced, not too sweet. You will be hooked and this cake will be requested year after year!!! Thank you Carrot Cake Lady for another wonderful birthday cake! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡“

“I Highly recommend Madame B’s for all your cake needs. Very professional, created the exact cake I wanted, beautiful cake!! And most importantly it was DELICIOUS!!! Thank you!!! ❤️“

“I visit my daughter in Raleigh from Texas and she took me to this bakery last year and we bought a plain loaf of sourdough bread, it is the best and freshest I have ever had. I stopped in this past Sat and they only had rolls left. They were so delicious! Be sure to check out this business if you are anywhere near Raleigh on the weekend !“

“Edible art did a great job with bringing my vision to life and of course it was very good as well.“

“Best place to purchase bread without a doubt! So much cheaper than Food Lion or other retail grocery stores! Snack cakes less than 1/2 the price of retail grocery‼️ Staff is professional and courteous! Make you feel very welcome. Also they have a “Seniors” discount day!!“

“I went here today with my family super cute, nice staff, and an array of gf and vegan options. I love that they label high allergy ingredients. I did thought there would be more GF + Vegan Options but it was just the macarons section. They were delicious though and we bought the last of them!“

“I highly recommend Sweets Cakes without hesitation! The service is exceptional and the cake alone exceeded my expectations. They are very creative, the cake is very very good with an outstanding presentation! They even went above and beyond to deliver it. Will definitely order again.“

“Employees are so nice.Good deals for the price. Always fresh“

“Great selection of amazing pastries and cakes! Best Tres Leches cake in the area!🍰“

“I had a gift card given to me some 1.5 years ago, and just today made my way to the store! Felt adventurous and was craving some tropical fruits. I was blown away by the variety of exotic fruits, and the extensive choice of fish. The store is, certainly, a cultural experience! My 10-year-old and I each got a smoothie - mango and pear, but I feel curious about many of the other drinks and desserts that I’d love to try. They, also, have cooked/hot food there and will bring my husband next time since he loves Asian food. Can’t wait to go back!“

“MMMMM delish! We got an assortment of 6 cookies and devoured every single one!! There’s something special about their dough it’s light, flavorful and rich all in one yummy cookie! Will definitely be venturing back to try another assortment!“

“TODO muy rico. Fresco. El dueño muy querido. Y la muchacha trabajando tb. Lo recomiendo.“

“Just discovered this place on Friday. The buttery smell is incredible inside and it more then lives up to expectation. Everything is delicious but the bacon cheddar scones are absolutely RIDICULOUS. Absolutely the best I have ever eaten. Can't wait to go back and try more...“

“I have to give huge thanks to the team! My wedding planner kinda let me down on my wedding 4.16.22 and Terrell and the beautiful lady with braids came to the rescue! They literally saved my wedding on top of serving AMAZING FOOD ! My cake was too die for and the little we had left was gone the next day. Thank you all so much! I highly recommend them! All my guests loved them, loved the food and the fact it’s black owned makes it even better ! I can’t thank y’all enough!“

“Very clean & nice people So recommend this pan store“

“1st time at the market, 1st time visiting Raleigh!!! FANTASTIC boiled peanuts!!! AMAZING lemon creme cake and pound cake slice. I will be back for sure! The ambience and set up is VERY NICE. Very welcoming gentleman serving up the peanuts and lemonade!“

“PHENOMENAL EXPERIENCE with having the most delicious cake made for our son’s 21st birthday!! We don’t live in NC and totally went off reviews alone in choosing this team but WOW we were impressed! Easy communication, excellent price, and will highly recommend for all to choose. Thank you!!“

“This place is amazing. We are in town to visit the Dambo trolls at Dix park and I highly recommend stopping here. Coming from the dairy state, we know our ice cream and this was excellent. And of course, the cookies are fantastic!!“

“Wow! My husband and I have been dying to try Morning Rolls! We stopped this morning finally and so impressed. Not only were the cinnamon rolls the absolute best we’ve ever had…. I was honestly so blown away with the customer service. The gentleman at the register smiled, asked us how we were doing and said good morning to everyone who walked in. That alone has me sold all day long. Good customer service is so hard to find these days…. But kudos to Morning Rolls! You guys are awesome!“

“Great experience ordering catering from Zulias! The variety of sweet and savory roll ups was just fantastic! I loved the turkey cheddar and the blueberry- though a few people at my office felt the turkey was a little salty for their liking (not for me, though). The cinnamon rolls were outstanding- especially if you like lots of cinnamon flavor. The service was also excellent, as the owner reached out to me to make sure everything was satisfactory with our order. I look forward to ordering breakfast from Zulias again!“

“Muy bien! Yo sé un poco español pero ellos son muy paciente conmigo. Yo y mi novio encantamos ir comprar los tamales y empanadas para fin de semana. Son muy delicioso!“

“Yo nunca suelo poner comentarios, pero no es la primera vez que una de las trabajadoras tiene una mala actitud , yo encargué un pastel de 2 pisos con una semana de anticipación para una voda y quedé de recogerlo ala 1 de la tarde cuando yegue resulta que no estaba listo el pastel tuve que esperar 30 minutos más y por si fuese poco medieron el pastel en una caja de bolillo el pastel que encargué era de 2 pisos locual al ponerlo en esa caja de bolillo y recién echo termino echo un desastre para ocasión que era.“

“A review from me would not be fair..I am part of the "NBC" family.🤭😂🤭😂“

“Had an excellent brewed coffee with a free refill. My wife had a latte, which she thought was great. I had an almond croissant, which was kind of ordinary, but good. My wife had a baguette sandwich which was very tasty. Very nice atmosphere and good downtown location.“

“The staff is friendly and patient my food was great“

“I would highly recommend this business! The owner is extremely pleasant and easy to work with. She not only made a delicious cake, but also hand-delivered it to our apartment. The price of the cake was also super affordable. Overall, an amazing experience!“
