31 Best Bakeries in Wilmington

“This Crumbl location in Wilmington NC is supreme. I go nearly every week and the cookies always look like the website. The wait is never too long. Sometimes the popular ones sell out some days especially on Saturdays so try to get there earlier.“

“absolutely delicious! we tried their stuffed pretzels and they are well worth it! price&quality match for sure I'd HIGHLY recommend. they were good enough we stopped on the way back home to the triad just to have some later!“

“Beautiful space, warm staff and AMAZING baked goods.“

“Since being gluten free I have not had soft pizza crust that was good. I bought 2 and will be ordering them more often. They were amazing and made me so happy. The carrot cake was delicious and so soft and flavorful.“

“Delicious & reasonably priced bakery. The owners are fantastic people that bake with perfection & excellence.“

“I go to this place every time I visit Wilmington. What they have to offer is unique and awesome. The croissants are fresh and incredibly delicious. I have met the owner on several occasions. He is always so friendly and accommodating to me. I drive all the way from Virginia just to experience this place and it is well worth the drive. The staff is also very friendly!! On a scale of 1 to 10, this place is an 11!“

“At our meeting to celebrate an exemplary employee and discovered these amazing desserts! Absolutely, hands down THE BEST ever! We enjoyed Better than Sex & Banana Pudding and they were BOTH out of this world! We found them at On Thyme restaurant in downtown and are happy to have discovered this amazing treat💙 Thank you!“

“The only cinnamon rolls my daughter and I will eat. Don't change a thing!“

“Once again Bethany outdid herself with my Mom's bday cake! As delicious as it is gorgeous!“

“I like what they're doing and that's very interesting and pretty kind of cool I would mess with that“

“I cannot recommend Burney's (Wilmington location specifcially) enough! The owner, Anthony, is incredibly kind and generous. I used them for my wedding desserts and got 6 flavors of croissants, cake balls, white wedding cake and a 15 layer caramel cake. Several people told me it was the best wedding cake they have ever had. My only regret is not getting more croissants because they were gone SO FAST - people are still talking about them! Not only was the quality of everything amazing (as it always is when I'm just visiting the store), but everyone was so kind and helpful. I did several tastings and this one was by far the best (in flavor and service), they have so many options, are super customizable, have a reliable staff - truly everything you could want in a local bakery or a wedding vendor!“

“Located in the cargo district very easy to find free parking plenty of flavors to choose from and the flavors are absolutely delicious. We share them with our whole family and just ate about the whole half dozen reasonably priced. We will absolutely be back again such a cute atmosphere you can tell she puts love into what she bakes. The flavors are just so perfect. You can mix and match so we could do all the same this time we mix so much and just tried a bunch of different ones. The pecan one was so good along with the vanilla one and the chocolate one. 10/10 recommend.“

“I love their cookies. I don't get them every time I go to the mall but there's just days where I want a cookie and I'm like "I want one- no... I want two from Great American Cookies" haha. I love their snicker doodle cookies

Kid-friendliness: It's a cookie store.. it's most definitely kid-friendly. Lol.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Amazing cakes!!! Love that I can order online.“

“We had such a wonderful experience working with Alexis at Lexie’s Layers for our wedding cake! The tasting process was super easy and stress-free, making it simple to pick out exactly what we wanted. Alexis has truly mastered gluten-free baking—the cake was incredibly fresh, moist, and delicious, exceeding all our expectations.

Her delivery and execution on the big day were flawless, perfectly matching our vision. On top of that, Alexis went above and beyond by helping us incorporate a surprise birthday cake into our wedding festivities, which was a fantastic and memorable touch!

If you’re looking for exceptional baked goods and a smooth, enjoyable process, we highly recommend Alexis and Lexie’s Layers. She made such a sweet part of our celebration unforgettable!“

“Always amazing. I have trouble picking my favorite so usually get 2 each time.“

“Wow!!!! Just amazing!!! I could not get an order to go through online nor could my daughter so went to store. Line was long so knew it would be a long wait to get my order ready. Got the order in, they were so nice and went above and beyond for me. Said it would be about an hour, which I fully understood being how busy they were. I was going to wait in car and gave them my number to txt when ready. I want ya to know in less than 10 minutes they brought my order out to me!!!!!!!!! I couldn’t believe it. Sooooo unbelievable!!!! Thank you so so much!!!!! Those teachers at Belville Elem. are loving their treats I’m sure!!!!!! Thank you so much again I truly appreciate all your great customer service!!!!!! Love, love this place!!!!!“

“The quietest Coziest place for a delicious Brunch / Lunch in Wilmington. If you're visiting, skip the wait at Famous and give Far from France a visit. The Louis XIV Crepe, Café au Lait and, if you're extra hungry, the Eggs Benedict makes for a Savory and Sweet breakfast packed with flavor.“

“Came here the day after Halloween, and clearly there were lots of hungover people wanting bagels, like myself. The staff was working their butts off, and were so apologetic that it took so long. We waited about 40 minutes, but the vibe was so good that we didn't mind. The Nov 1st staff needs a huge round of applause, they rocked!“

“Did an amazing job catering for a birthday party. Food was delicious! Those fingerling potatoes and steak and shrimp---yum!“

“This place nails it every time! Super friendly staff and the bagels are incredible! We make the drive from rocky point to just get them!“

“I usually go to the Bean for coffee but just tried a smoothie yesterday. It was literally the best smoothie I have ever had. The lady at the window was super patient with my questions!!! I got the mango/strawberry. It was ridiculous!!!! Will definitely get that again.“

“The best place to get sweet treats. Love that its local.i like to get the little butter cookies for my coworkers or a nice pie or pull apart coffee cake. They have a nice selection of gluten free things too . which are great cause I use to like a guy who was gluten free and never got to eat sweets. Their treats helped me have a wonderful friendship with him .he was here for school and had to leave eventually but their products helped him fall for me. So like. If you ever meet a hot celiac.....lol“

“Was gifted a drink from a friend on 10/30/25. She brought it to me at a place I was volunteering. Unfortunately, it tasted so bitter and not good. It was an iced latte. I called to tell what happened and ask if I could come get a replacement when I was finished . The person I spoke to was extremely rude asking for a receipt (it was bought by a friend for me). I told her I didn’t have a receipt but I could bring the drink back . She then asked me the name of the person who bought it. I told she paid cash at the drive thru so she wasn’t asked her name. I had to go so I just said “forget it” . I was so aggravated so I called this morning. I spoke to Georgia. I explained what happened, and without hesitation she told me to come for a replacement. She was so friendly. I really appreciated Georgia’s desire to help me!!“

“Appreciate the hospitality“

“Delicious coffee, and the chick with pink hair was kind :)“

“We love the Port City Java location on Market Street. We are not locals, but you can tell that many of the AM customers are as the staff was greeting them by name. We had tea, coffee, and muffins. There is an ample selection of teas, coffees, muffins, and breads. There is indoor and outdoor seating available. The staff is super friendly. Free refills is just an added bonus!“
