24 Best Bakeries in Wilmington

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

“First off - these cookies are incredibly expensive and so unhealthy for you. HOWEVER, they hit the sweet spot. Cut it up using their cookie cutter and it’s the perfect serving size with just the right amount of sweetness.

All of the lemon flavors are the best and the sugar cookies are generic and not worth it.“

“We just moved to the historic district and LOVE CP! I never leave reviews anywhere but we thoroughly enjoyed our meal here!“

“This is the second I’m ordering from Imaginary Cakes, if I could give 10 stars I would! The heart cake was for my birthday last year, the second was for my niece’s first birthday, and everyone loved it! And kept asking for the location. Everything about both cakes was amazing from the designs down to the taste, just delicious!“

“Amazing place for gf desserts. Easy to get to in the Wilmington on the way to the beach. The owner is knowledgeable and very friendly. The quality of the desserts is outstanding!!! Highly recommend!“

“Awesome experience! The attention to detail on my brothers rehearsal dinner cake was out of this world!“

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

“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!“

“Best customer service! Such passion for their craft and customers. I hope to visit Wilmington so I can experience it myself. My sister was thrilled with her cupcake bouquet (and so impressed that Kim made the delivery at 10pm!)“

“Vegetarian options: They've got the Old School Dole whips as a completely dairy-free option! YUM

Parking: Located in Mayfaire, so you may get lucky and get a spot right in front, or you may have to park and walk a very short distance“

“I may update this after more visits and many more wonderful meals. However, my first lunch was fantastic. I got the cheese soufflé. It was delicious... even memorable! I often rate my food experiences based on "will I remember that dish forever", and that is how my cheese soufflé was. I got a few pastries to go and they were very good too. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes.“
