34 Best Bakeries in Greenville

“Just tried the new Scouts Doughnuts location in Simpsonville with a friend, and WOW — hands down the best donuts we’ve ever had! I had the Black Forest and my friend had the Vanilla Buttercream, and both were absolutely incredible. Fresh, delicious, and just ridiculously good. We really hope this new store is here to stay because Simpsonville definitely needs this place! 100% recommend giving Scouts Donuts a try — you won’t be disappointed. 🍩🔥“

“The cake was delicious!!!! everyone loves it! The best cake I ever ate!“

“One of my absolute favorite spots in GVL! Consistently excellent breakfast/brunch along with great service. The wait times can sometimes be a bit long because they’re always busy and everything is made fresh to order but 100% worth it!“

“Lemon cookies are the best !!“

“I recently visited Crumbl Cookies and was blown away by how delicious their cookies are! Each one is fresh, warm, and packed with flavor. The rotating menu keeps things exciting, and I loved trying new flavors alongside some of their classic cookies. The quality and taste are truly top-notch, and it’s hard to leave without taking a box home.

However, the staff experience wasn’t as sweet as the cookies. While they got my order right, they didn’t seem very welcoming or enthusiastic, and it felt a bit rushed at the counter. A little more friendliness would have made the visit perfect.

Overall, the cookies are absolutely worth it, and I’ll definitely be back for the treats—they’re just that good! I hope the staff experience improves to match the quality of the cookies.“

“This has become my favorite bakery in upstate, SC. I love the sandwiches, the croissants, and the different breads.“

“Just had my first slice of cheesecake from here. It was heavenly. I decided my first slice should be a classic so I got the regular slice with strawberries. Strawberries were fresh and the sauce was delicious.“

“Stopped in to get my favorite snacks and was greeted by Cindy K. Thank you Cindy for your kindness and awesome personality! Thank you Cindy!!“

“They have the best prices on fresh bread, buns, and English muffins! I get keto bread and hamburger buns for way cheaper than I can get them at any other store. I get the lunchbox snacks for a great deal as well. The prices are not as worthy of bragging for other items like gravy, mixes, and cookies, but that’s not the reason I go there. I go there for the bread, and I am highly satisfied.“

“Stax Bakery has been my go-to bakery for many, many years, and they continue to remind me why.

Greenville is fortunate to have a lot of great bakeries, but in my opinion, Stax Bakery is simply the best. Beyond their incredibly moist cakes and desserts, their customer service is exceptional. They’re also incredibly convenient and centrally located just off I-385 on Orchard Park Drive, making them easy to get to from just about anywhere around Greenville.

Most recently, I wanted to do something special to thank the team at Lexus of Greenville for the many years of excellent service they’ve provided me. I came up with a custom cake design that incorporated an image of my actual Lexus, making the cake personal and representative of my relationship with the dealership.

That’s another thing I really appreciate about Stax Bakery: they’ll help you develop a design for your cake, or they’ll work with you to bring a design you already have to life. I brought my idea to Amy, and she and the Stax team took the time to turn my design into something genuinely meaningful. The finished cake looked fantastic, and I’ve included a picture because their work deserves to be seen!

Of course, a beautiful cake doesn’t mean much if it doesn’t taste good—and this one definitely did. The Lexus staff absolutely devoured it and thanked me repeatedly for bringing it. It was a huge hit.

What makes experiences like this stand out is the personal attention. Amy went above and beyond, putting extra time and effort into making sure my idea translated into a cake that was exactly what I hoped it would be. That level of customer service is something I’ve experienced consistently over the many years I’ve been coming to Stax.

And here’s something people may not realize: you don’t have to buy an entire cake to enjoy Stax Bakery. One of my favorite things to do is stop by Stax Omega next door and pick up individual slices of several different Stax cake flavors. It’s perfect when you’re taking dessert to a gathering because everyone gets to sample different flavors—and people absolutely love it.

After many years as a customer, Stax Bakery remains the bakery I recommend first in Greenville. Amazing cakes, wonderful people, outstanding customer service, a convenient location, and a team willing to put genuine care into making something special.

A very special thank-you to Amy and the entire Stax team for going the extra mile on this one. You took an idea that was meaningful to me and turned it into something I was proud to give to the Lexus team.

Stax Bakery has earned every one of these five stars.“

“I’ve been shopping lately at the Spartanburg location because it’s so close to my house. This is the best place that I’ve ever been to. They’ve got the best deals on meat. The freshest produce anything you need and to top it off the place is so clean and the little restaurant area Has the best food ever. I’m not sure of her name, but the head cashier and the manager and the meat department everyone there is just so friendly and nice. I would definitely recommend shopping here this now is my favorite place ever.“
