21 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!“

“The owner is one of the sweetest people I know. I was there on Saturday and bought cupcakes. The best cupcakes I've ever had!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.🤣“

“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!“

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

“This is such a cute place and quick to order. They have such unique cookies made to order. Very good cookies too my husband loves them. I'm gluten free so sadly I'm not able to eat them unless they create a gluten free option from time to time.“

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

“I want everyone to know how amazing this place is…… but I also don’t want anyone to know! 🤣“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“This is a 5 star restaurant the food is excellent my dad had the salmon in teriyaki glaze the seafood is very good. I had the chicken tenders they're very good as well cooked to perfection the waitress was personable and thorough the prices are fair and reasonable. Overall a great experience“

“I always get my normal 24 oz beach bum lil extra peach. Larkin, always remembers my order and doesnt take forever to make my drink. She also was very generous and gave me a free rush and is understanding when i go back if theres an issue.
Maybe if your nice, you can get a free rush or 3 :)“

“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!!“

“James and Ashley are some of my favorite baristas! One day they were out of egg white veggie bite things and she reccomended (cause I’m vegetarian) to take the bacon off one of the sandwiches. I ended up getting what I needed to start my day so thank you so much for the help.
And James is always friendly and I get stoaked when I see him WERK.“

“Not all AJ 's have a dine-in setup.
But the coffee is the best and the staff at every AJ's I've been to are friendly and wonderful. I stopped going to Dunkins now that they all seem to be operated by unsupervised and untrained children. Dunking Donuts has changed considerably and for the worst.“
