This bakery is famous for the age and history. Unfortunately, there is no mention of enslaved people being made to work and live in this bakery! How can one leave that out?

Delicious Moravian treats. Get there early, they sell out of several items quickly. The ladies were very friendly and suggested a few local favorites.

Really not what I expected. I was thinking it would be a sit down type bakery for some coffee and breakfast. Cool place to stop in for the history but I left empty handed and went to a different coffee shop

Omg the chocolate cappuccino bread and cherry apple strudel are amazing. The cheddar jalapeño bread is pretty bland but light and fluffy when toasted.

This is a beautiful places inside but I would not come here for the baked goods. The history is amazing tho. Upstairs is like a museum.
The bread is not even cooked here anymore. The sugar cake is on the dry side The cherry strudel was actually pretty good.

I had such a pleasant experience for my first time as an adult here. We were immediately greeted, told about the history of the house and its original functionality and how it was evolved over time. The woman who greeted us gave us direction of how to walk through the two floors and where the baked goods, kitchen, and gift shop were located without me having to ask any questions. Additionally, she gave me one of the sweetest, most unique compliments I’ve ever received. I was so touched by her words that I forgot to ask her name but thank you so much- your words meant more to me than you know. :)

Stepping into Winkler Bakery felt like visiting a piece of living history. The aroma of wood-fired Moravian sugar cake and paper-thin spice cookies is irresistible. I loved watching bakers in period dress fire up the 200‑year‑old brick oven and chatting with the staff over warm treats—truly magical and unforgettable!

Winkler's is such an amazing bakery! Try the Orange Cranberry loaf. It's the best. The nice lady sat with us (we were there right when it opened) and talked with us. Very nice; I was very impressed.
Great Bakery took home a cherry almond strudel (4×7" rectangle that would make 4-5 slices), and it was awesome. Unusual and fun gifts are found here also.

We have been coming to the Candle Tea and Old Salem over 25 years. This year we came to the bakery for the traditional sugar cake. We spent $75 on three sugar cakes, one tin of sugar cookies and one small loaf of bread. The sugar cake was not the same they have been serving all these years it is different and not good. Feel like we were ripped off. Not coming back unless they bring bake the traditional sugar cakes.

The museum aspect was very cool but “sparse” doesn’t even begin to describe the food selection.

It's been a while since visiting Old Salem and Winkler Bakery. It was a beautiful day to walk around Old Salem and visit some of the businesses. Winkler Bakery has a nice selection of merchandise! The staff were friendly and helpful! Looking forward to coming back.
If you are visiting Winston-Salem, stop by Old Salem and tour the museum and historic homes (you will need to purchase a ticket) as well as Winkler Bakery and a couple other businesses.
