I finally made it into Aunt Irene's and it was 100% worth it! The gentleman that helped me was super nice and informative and the lady was so polite! When I go back I'm definitely going to try the famous fudge she told me about. This time I got the cinnamon bun which was great and the cream cheese icing was probably the best I have had. Their donuts were good and the icing was on point! I also tried the raspberry Danish type dessert and the apple cinnamon crumb cake which were also fantastic! Thank you for amazing desserts, the family and I will be back soon

Went here twice while in town because the cinnamon rolls were SO good! 10/10 recommended for anyone nearby. The employees are so very nice! I'll be taking a trip back here just for the cinnamon rolls! My wife and kids enjoyed the brookies and cookies as well! I don't have enough nice things to say about this establishment! Don't change a thing!Parking: Plenty of parking

My wife and I came down for the night and love to eat local when we can. The cinnamon roll did not disappoint, and neither did the donuts. They hit the spot. We will definitely be back.YeeYee!

My daughter turned 11 today so we skipped school and grabbed some goodies from a local place we've been trying to find time for since August.The second we walked in, we knew we found exactly what we were looking for. It smelled like grandma was baking. It smelled like my childhood. We were greeted as if we were family. We got detailed explanations and such kindness. We grabbed a couple iced coffees and 4 treats. OMGosh the second we got home we were blown away. The cinnamon roll had my daughter head over heels in love. Not to mention, her new obsession with the red velvet deliciousness. I got coffee cake and a piece of white cake w strawberries. Absolute perfection. The food was so good. Beyond good. But the atmosphere, the welcoming attitude, the feel the staff gives when you walk in.... this is absolutely our new favorite local secret and we'll be there regularly. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.

A little pricey, deserts were good. Nothing over the top but I did find that the cinnamon buns were awesome. It's a great spot for a sweet tooth in Holden beach.

The cinnamon rolls are worth walking over hot coals for!!! I am glad I don't live closer to this place or I would weigh twice what I weigh now. The aroma in the store alone is worth 10 calories. This is the BEST bakery I have ever been in and that spans over seven decades! Fantastico!!! Additionally, the other items my wife and I have tried are also four-star goodies. We come to this beach twice a year and that is a good thing 'cause it gives me half a year to try to work off the poundage.

Excellent cinnamon rolls!

Cinnamon rolls to die for.

Everything was delicious! The blueberry scone is perfect if you want something sweet but not too sweet! The cinnamon rolls are HUGE!!!
Read the other reviews. Those convinced me that this is the bakery you will need to try if you're from out of town. Everything that other people have mentioned is NOT a lie. The cinnamon buns ARE a must to try and the other pastries that they have featured in the window are beautiful. The only regret I would say is that...you don't NEED that whole tray. A tray is half a dozen cinnamon rolls and it literally fed a house of 13 people. They're GIGANTIC! It's fantastic and may you have regrets for the next few others but is a wonderful experience haha. Other reviews are true about how you want to get there as early as you can because they will sell out! My sister, friend, and I went there about an hour after it opened and it was VERY close to being sold out. The line was out of the door and it smelled magnificent! Everyone is super friendly and you can't but help the locals. In addition to their popular cinnamon buns, their key lime pie/tart, lemon/blueberry cakes are a must! I'm pretty sure that this will be a traditional spot for my sister's trip and I got go to every year when we're at this beach. LOVE!!!

Most amazing pastry ever. A must try. Every day your at the beach. Try the walnut cinnamon bun! It was to die for!

I would give this place ten stars if I could! Go for the cinnamon rolls. They are huge and soft with a buttery bottom. But don't sleep on the Paczki’s (Polish donuts). They do have coffee. I got an iced caramel coffee. It was just ok... Very sweet. But again. GO FOR THE CINNAMON ROLLS!!!
