42 Best Bakeries in Winston Salem

“Everything I’ve ever had at either location has been fantastic!! The staff is so friendly and welcoming. We also loved the macaron class.“

“Love love love!! I don't often get sweet treats, but when I do, this is the place. The staff are always amazing, the vibes are great. For my fellow vegans, everything is vegan friendly, and the sweets are incredible. 100/10 Go here whether you're plant based or not, I argue this is the best bakery I've been to, even before I made the dietary change ✨️“

“Whoa! There is a lot of great stuff to choose from, particularly food. There were so many divine cupcakes, cakes and other bakery items that it's hard to choose. I purchased 3 chocolate lovers and 1 cheerwine cupcake for my daughter's birthday. So good and moist! Definitely recommend“

“If you’re looking for a soft delicate, sweet warm dessert that’s the place you should go for dessert. You can have it with ice cream coffee whatever you prefer is guaranteed. You won’t make it home without taste it once you taste it you won’t be able to have it when you get home, you’ve been ate all of it guaranteed.“

“The mini cookies have become a fast favorite. You don’t have to cut them or share them and they’re the perfect little treat. The pink sugar cookie and cookies and cream milkshake will always have my heart, but every flavor I’ve ever tried has been equally delicious.“

“Adorable shop with a huge variety of holiday treats this time of year. The spiced cookie sandwich is delicious!! Drop by, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Everything I’ve ever had at either location has been fantastic!! The staff is so friendly and welcoming. We also loved the macaron class.“

“i love the big cookies , my son has celic disease and love it , im from Greensboro and every time i go to Winston Salem stop for cookies.“

“The baked goods are house made and very good. They use Counter Culture coffee and I’m not a huge fan of fruity coffees. This bakery does ‘Amish style’ baked goods so I was really looking forward to trying them but also peeking inside of their culture a bit while in the store. Although the staff is friendly, no one seemed to explain the menu items, greet customers, and so forth. Even though the owners were there, they didn’t engage with customers or create the sense of community I thought they would have. The food is good, but the atmosphere is a little uncertain and uncomfortable, esp if you’re by yourself. I recommend this place to try, but it’s no where I would go twice.“

“Wow!! Words can’t describe the crème brûlée cheesecake. You have to try it yourself!“

“Listen. I need everyone to understand something: I walked into The Peach Cobbler Factory as a normal human being with regular dopamine levels and a functioning sense of restraint. I walked OUT as a changed person—someone who now understands why people write poetry and why prophets went into the desert seeking visions.

That first bite? I heard angels. Not like metaphorical angels—I’m talking ACTUAL celestial beings harmonizing in the key of brown sugar. My taste buds didn’t just wake up; they threw a full-scale celebration complete with confetti cannons and a mariachi band.

The peach cobbler came to my table still warm, glistening under the lights like it had its own Instagram filter built in. I picked up my fork with the reverence of someone defusing a bomb, knowing my life was about to be divided into “Before Cobbler” and “After Cobbler” eras.

The crust? Buttery enough to make Paula Deen weep with pride. The peaches? So perfectly sweet and tender they must have been sung lullabies while growing. The cinnamon-sugar ratio? Scientifically perfect. I’m pretty sure NASA was involved.

I may have made sounds that I’m not proud of. The couple at the next table asked if I was okay. I was NOT okay—I was TRANSCENDENT. There’s a difference.

Do yourself a favor: go to The Peach Cobbler Factory. Bring stretchy pants. Bring your enemies so they can become friends over cobbler. Bring a signed waiver because this experience should probably be regulated by the FDA for being dangerously delicious.

I’m not saying this cobbler solved all my problems, but I’m also not NOT saying that.
10/10. Would sell my furniture for another slice.

Enjoy! 🍑✨​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“I had placed an order with another edible printing company (that I have used for a couple of years), but because this had a quick turn-around time, and they had not responded to my questions, I was panicked it would not arrive in time. (It didn't!) So, I tried Ink4Cakes with an expedited order. It was 2 images split on one cake topper, so it needed to be approved first as well. They responded quickly and efficiently, produced an excellent quality product, and it arrived in time!!! I was so grateful I had contacted them! Thank you, Ink4Cakes--you have earned my repeat business!“

“AMAZING experience! As a vegetarian I typically only have a few things to choose from when it comes to eating out, but Salem Kitchen had sooo many options to choose from that I could take home and bake! The young woman helping me at the counter was an absolute GEM- I wish I had gotten her name (she wears glasses and has a Studio Ghibli tattoo like me!) I let her know I was a vegetarian and she showed me an entire section of their menu that was meat free! There are so many sides and desserts as well that looked absolutely delicious. I’m currently trying the baked spaghetti and it tastes like home! Thank y’all so much for your service! I’ll be back very soon!“

“I've been coming to Flower's Bakery for years. The bread is fresh and much less expensive from the grocery. Today, I brought a loaf of Nature's Own SF bread , mini donuts, and a box of snack cakes ($1.50 each). It was less than $5, or about what I would spend for a bread loaf at the grocery. They often have holiday themed items that are hard to find. I saw fruit cake, pumpkin spice donuts, and popcorn balls, to name a few.“

“I saw this business at the NC STATE Fair on yesterday and stopped by to ask a question, I walked away with the BEST white wine cake, that I EVERRRRRRR had! The cake was moist and the flavor was flavoring! Scott was very nice and very informative. This business is going places just watch! And did I mention the FLAVOR? If I could give 100 stars I would. Very pleased.“

“Camino is an excellent lunch spot. Very friendly service and delicious sandwiches. We had a coconut cooler drink and caprese sandwich. Both were delicious. Shout out to Faith and Claire for their excellent service and delicious sandwich.“

“This is a hidden gem in the heart of town that serves exceptional, authentic Italian food and desserts at reasonable prices. I really enjoyed their lemoncello cake and tiramisu. I genuinely felt like I was in the “old country” with my paisans with the comfortable family owned setting. Highly recommend.“

“I have only been here once, but it was a very welcoming and tasty coffee shop and bakery. Unfortunately I didn't get any of their baked goods this time, but I tried and loved their Coconut cooler! Service was also extremely quick. Another thing to note is that the food and drinks here are very well prices. I got a 20 OZ coffee for 4 bucks and a lot of there desserts were 3-7.“

“I have LOVED Moravian cookies for a long time. I was SO glad to find the 13.5 tin while at Fresh Market in Moore Co. this holiday season. But this time I was disappointed. TOO many of the cookies are just broken. Not just broken! In pieces? Product costs TOO much for the quality to be SO poor! Do better!“

“I ordered a cake from Meg with 3 days notice and she was very quick to respond to my inquiry and set up a pickup time! The cake looks just like the inspo pic I sent and was so delicious. Thank you for making a great cake! Amazing customer service!!“

“Just had the spongiest , moistest little slice of tropical paradise from @3B Snacks’ Buttercreme Bakery . It was soooo tasty ! And I loved that it didn’t leave an oily film in the roof of my mouth like some other brands of packaged sponge cakes - it seemed genuinely fresh instead of full of preservatives - Had intended to take a picture of the half eaten cake but I got carried away“

“We had my daughter’s Bridal Shower there and everything was great from the employees that were so helpful to the food we served made by Lot 63. It was a wonderful afternoon celebrating our bride with all our family and friends. Highly recommend if you need an event space. 10/10!“

“Everything here is wonderful!“

“Chicken pie is wonderful!“

“Ordered via GrubHub to get my cake fix during our stay-at-home order. We had the golden chocolate, strawberry layer, and pineapple coconut. Gah it was all so delicious. I didn’t expect much of the strawberry layer, but it might have been my favorite. Such great flavor.“

“If you're delivering sugar or anything heavy here it's probably best to come in through the front entrance and come through the employee parking to get to the dock.. you know how it is backing these autos up hill when heavy.. it's a little easier on your clutch if come through parking lot to setup your back for dock.. in and out less than 30 minutes.“

“They have the best empanadas and baked goods anywhere! And the staff is wonderful! I highly recommend them!“

“Amazing!! Perfect design and taste! My daughter loves SpongeBob and absolutely loved her birthday cake! 🥰 The price point was great, customer service was on point, and the only person I will get cakes from here on out!“

“This location in the hospital, Ardmore Tower, is great. Their drinks are good quality, always interesting options (lavender miel is yummy).

The baked goods are fresh and always a treat. Great service, the line goes fast & employees are helpful.

If you have to eat gluten free, do yourself a favor and try the gf strawberry cake ....it's SOOOO GOOD! Moist, true strawberry flavor, everything you wish all gluten free cakes would be 🍓“

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

“You make the most amazing cakes EVER. They didn't even save me a piece but the cake was beautiful and by all accounts was delicious as well.“

“The donuts and matcha are so good!! I tried the classic glaze and honey salt donut (spring menu) and their earl gray matcha (spring menu) and both were delicious! The donuts were warm and had a gentle crunch but were tender and so, so good. The staff were friendly and in good spirits! My boyfriend and I loved the indoor seating of the shop. Id love to come back next time we're in the area!“

“The pink lemonade is to die for. And the sugar cake I could eat in one sitting or day if I didn't watch myself. The other cakes are good as are the cookies and ice cream it's hard here. Been going there 47 years and it's a treat every time!!!“

“Very quaint little bakery, very historic, I bought the lemon cookies which were expensive but all of the proceeds go to keeping the town going so it was worth it. I bought a jam that was called Toe jam that should be interesting it has elderberry in it. The whole downtown Old Salem it's just a place everyone should visit.“

“It's always nice .. clean and stocked. I always find the snacks and chips that I love. Bread is always good. The prices are great. And Mrs. Sabrina is a joy..and very friendly and helpful. I suggest you run to get all of your snacks and bread from Flowers bakery.“
