22 Best Bakeries near Durham

“I had the pleasure of working alongside sweetened memories as a vendor and I am very impressed by them! Their attention to detail is apparent. The display they had for this wedding was so beautiful! I am obsessed with the flowers they had on the wedding cake. I tried a few cupcakes and wow! Highly recommend!“

“Pretty good place to have a coffee. They have great flavors and sitting outside is nice, but the inside atmosphere is not great. It gets busy and loud so doing homework is not something most people can do. It's also connected to a Subway, which is either a bonus or a negative, depending on your feelings!“

“This is our favorite bakery. I have been lucky enough to enjoy them even before the Dover location opened and will forever be devoted to their entire collection. They are the BEST!!“

“Two Bees was such a delightful find! Everything about them was perfection. Walking into the cafe, the decor is lovely with a beautiful outdoor patio overlooking the river. The staff was so sweet and just lovely authentic people. But the offerings they had were simply divine. Their croissant was reminiscent of European quality, all their ingredients were fresh and tasty, but the best thing was their passion fruit tart- outstanding! Very highly recommend this place!“

“first try vegan, delicious 😋“

“What a sweet addition to Newmarket! This friendly family has made a beautiful space with delicious food - the Key Lime Pie is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! This new spot is not to be missed!“

“I needed a key lime pie for a big party with short notice and I had a super hard time finding a place that had them. I came across this bakery with such good ratings and I decided to check it out. They were super friendly, kind, and understanding with my request being later than they would have liked, and they gave me a big time window to pick it up which was a huge help. Everybody loved the key lime pie! It was beautifully done and tasted great. Lots of people gave it raving reviews and it was one of the few desserts completely gone by the end of the party. Amazing work and I'm hoping to order something from them again!“

“Picked up some treats to try. they were delicious. They even have dog treats that my pup loved too.“

“Great place to get coffee to go or sweet treats. Some of the baked items are ordered in but I think they make the desserts. The drinks menu is huge and there are a lot of options for breakfast. The atmosphere inside wasn’t very relaxing. It was pretty dark and there were large boxes of supplies around. Not really the kind of place to work remotely or meet with clients but there are tables and a couch available.“

“I called to get my father a treat for his 93rd birthday. Although they don’t do a retail shop, they agreed to provide one wee cupcake to make his daughter happy. There are such good people in this world! He shared it with me and the cupcake was ridiculous! Full disclosure? He ate all of the buttercream frosting first.🤣“

“Delicious cake and cupcakes! Divine cookie dough icing! Never had anything like it ~ can’t wait to order from Heather again 💫✨🙏🏻😋“

“The Olde Craft Bakery : My daughter had been gluten free for a long time. We purchased this bread at the beginning of the summer farmers market and continued to purchase it weekly. It is fermented which breaks down the gluten. Not only could she eat it and not have her belly hurt but it tastes amazing as well! The whole family is hooked on The Olde Craft Bakery bread. We’ve tried just about every bread they’ve offered - all delicious. Another plus, unlike processed breads, one slice is filling. The loaves freeze well too. Thank you For making delicious, healthy bread for my family!“

“We really liked Crumbl Cookies in Portsmouth, NH. The cookies were fresh out of the oven, small, cute, and absolutely delicious. On the other hand, the service is almost non-existent: everything is done via a machine, which is an accepted choice. This may surprise you or lack human warmth, but for the rest, the experience was great. An address to try for lovers of fresh and tasty cookies!“

“The raspberry vanilla custard cruffin was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted in my life! This place is amazing and I can’t wait to go back next time I’m in NH!“

“Update - 8:00PM March 8, gave the location another try and had a much better experience. The woman working was friendly and, though there was still a couple minute wait at the window (she looked to be in the middle of something), my coffee and sandwich came out right away. I drove away with a smile.Old - 8:00PM March 7, two brightly lit neon signs that say “Open,” the radio playing music inside, but here I am sitting at the drive through window for over 5 minutes and didn’t even see movement inside. No other customers as far as I could tell. Left without ordering.“

“Excellent service from the company, the order arrived earlier than expected, even with a winter storm warning, carefully packaged with its personalized card and quality products, they gave me a telephone follow-up to see if everything had been fine, very grateful and without I definitely recommend them for your special moments. May the successes continue in your company. Thank you.“

“we ordered the breakfast pizza. it was yummy!! will eat there again!!“

“Great coffee, doughnuts, and cinnamon rolls. The place is gloomy with most people using the drive thru when I was there. Pastry not displayed. Ordered things I could normally see but not here. Counter gal was cranky. You'd think with a competitor like Duncan across the street there'd be a little more effort.“

“Bekah is awesome she is a huge asset to the company and provides the best customer service. She always greets us in the morning with a smile and always knows what the order is going to be. We keep coming back because of her customer service skills. If she would leave I would recruit her. Ashley is great too. The music in the cafe is the best ! It’s always the right volume and the music fits the scene.“

“Nice girls, good service but coffee grinds in my coffee ruined my morning

Update: Brian from Aroma Joes immediately reached out and apologized for my experience and made it right. I can’t wait to go back and try a “clean “ cup because the brew was tasty. These guys care about their product and their customers. Stay tuned for final review! LOL“

“Food, atmosphere, and service were amazing! My husband had lost a coin that our daughter had given him there. He called them and they found it. They were so kind of holding it for him, and he came back to get it. He was a very Happy Dad! 10 out of 10! God bless all of you“

“i just came through the drive thru at this location the lady at the window told me her name was maizy and she was phenomenal definitely deserves a raise i have never experienced this level of quality service at any other aroma joes location before my drink was delicious and she was nothing but sweet to me i complimented her on her service and she shared with me that someone had just left a bad review about her and i think that’s extremely preposterous this was by far my best aroma joes experince i have ever had whoever left that review on her has no idea what they are talking about!!“
