40 Best Bakeries near Hays

“Wow what an amazingly moist cake!“

“I LOVE Moonlight Bakery! Everything is delicious and the prices are great, too. Not only that, everyone there is so nice.“

“Amazing selection of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern foods. From grape leaves, and a large selection of olives to Armenian string cheese. If you need it they have it. It's a grocery store, deli, and bakery all in one.“

“Huge shout out to the manager of the Southpark store in ATX!! He went above and beyond to help me out of a jam when I forgot to pick up my large catering order and offered to come in on Sunday to hand it to me!!!! What a great reminder of what it means to run a business and serve customers( even the dumb ones🙋‍♀️) 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“My recent Crumbl experience could be likened to a visit from an old friend. This quirky confection giant’s send up of the product that starts and ends with the letter O is a flavorful treat that tastes like youthful exuberance. A tantalizing and satisfying mashup of creamy sweetness, it’s probably designated a controlled substance in some states. If the delicious products are not enough, the counter-person’s professionalism and courteous service equals those of the tasty menu items. The petite young lady serves customers with an effervescent level of exuberance. Keep up the amazing work.“

“A great place! The gelato and pastries are very good and the atmosphere is nice. Pet friendly!“

“At 67 years old I've eaten more pastries than I should have and I can honestly say without a doubt the raspberry kolache that I had at Teal House is far and away the best pastry that I've ever eaten in my entire life. The sad part is I don't live in Texas so all I can do is dream about them until I'm back in town.“

“The blueberry rosemary scones are out of this world!!“

“I love this song place!!!! I came for the first time this Sunday! The conchas are so soft, the tacos are amazing and the salsa is so flavorful. You can tell they put heart into their food and business. I am really happy I finally came and tried it. I will be coming more often.“

“My daughter had a photo of an unusual wedding cake that she wanted for her wedding. The cake that Sweet Treets designed was EXACTLY what she had in mind --- & it was DELISH too!!“

“Your friendly neighborhood donut shop. The owners are very kind and their donuts and kolaches are always fresh and delicious.

You don’t go to Fresh Donuts on Thaxton Road because you’re looking for a theme or lofty notions of challenging what exactly a donut shop can be. You’re not there to pay premium prices for half-baked (or half-fried) vessels to deliver some novel topping or flavor with dubious execution. No, you’re likely there because you’re in the area and your options are limited.

This is not an indictment against the quality to be found at this humble shop nor a cynical jeer at the dedication that’s at work here. Fresh Donuts deals in the Platonic idea of the donut and they do it remarkably well. The evidence is in the balance of velvety airiness and crispy sweetness in every bite of a classic plain glazed; the captivating ratio of cinnamon to sugar on a cinnamon twist that is never cloying or bland. When the thing you make lines up cleanly with the archetype, anything else becomes a diversion. Sharks have changed relatively little even after millions of years.

While many shops are content to serve glorified pigs-in-a-blanket, Fresh Donuts make their version of Texas kolaches adorned in a soft golden brown bread that melts in your mouth. That same kolache bread, along with croissants, is used to make simple but satisfying breakfast sandwiches as well.

Taste is subjective, often stubborn, sometimes fickle. So don’t just take my word for it. Ask any of the locals and passers-by who frequent the establishment and help make Fresh Donuts an integral locus point of the community. One only needs to leisurely nurse an apple fritter at a corner table to witness the mutual connection between the steady parade of customers and the beautiful couple behind the counter.

This is why you’re there.“

“Sugar Mama’s is awesome. My daughter had an idea for her birthday cake n of course, Sugar Mama’s delivered. Not only did they bring her idea to life, the taste was amazing! Thank you for making this a very happy 14th( Halloween) birthday!“

“excelente cafe ,excelente ambiente y muy bueno todo“

“I was worried about the cookie cakes being dry or communication being sparse based on some reviews, but Felicia at this location was very prompt to respond and our two cookie cakes turned out amazing AND delicious! All the kids at my son’s birthday party raved about how it was the best cookie cake they’ve ever had in their life (given these are little kids, they probably haven’t had too many cookie cakes in their life time, but when I tried it myself, I instantly believed them and agreed!). The cookie cakes were moist, chewy, and delicious and not overly sweet. I wasn’t expecting much because I mean how good can a cookie cake be, but it was up there with some of the best cookies I’ve had. And the design was spot on! Well done, Haley’s Cakes and Cookies!“

“Amazinggggg! We wanted to try everything! So soft and fresh and flavorful!“

“Everything made fresh and delicious. Adorable cozy setting to enjoy a kombucha on draft and an egg salad bagel. Yum!“

“Nice place for cookies, I personally love the consistency and bake of these cookies. However, they’re not very consistent with having under baked cookies to having extra crispy cookies. Though one call let me get another batch that was much more enjoyable so it worked out in the end.“

“If you’re thinking about stopping by and haven’t, you must! A wonderful experience that is truly magical. Don’t forget to take some non perishable food items to donate! Pay attention to their page for picture opportunities with Santa!“

“Staff is always welcoming and owners are very nice!“

“Went in here about a month ago and I can't wait to go back. The girl behind the counter was patient, sweet and helped recommend the chocolate ganache brownie. So glad I listened to her, I will be ordering that everytime I go back now. I also had a cupcake with a cookie dough like frosting and cookie piece as a topping which was so delicious! I enjoyed everything I purchased, and would definitely recommend.“

“The best pastries in town and I highly recommend the assortment of delicious kolaches!

“Happened to be on congress this morning and stumbled upon this cute coffee shop! The atmosphere is incredible and they have very strong good coffee and amazing pastries!“

“A staple of Austin Tex-Mex since I could remember. Over the years eating at this location the food still taste the same. It is bit on the heavy side but my choices now tend to be a healthier menu selection. I always enjoy the chips and salsa especially the green sauce. We arrived to walk to the bar area where I found a table. The bartender came by and ordered a frozen margarita. Looking back now I really cherish of leaving the home and experience being pampered with service where I can just sit and relax and enjoy snacking on chips. I decided on crispy chicken tacos which had a rich full flavor. The bartender was friendly. We always get quicker service here versus in the dining room. This place gets pretty busy at lunchtime where we arrive early and when we left there was already a wait. We had another great experience and counting the days where we can go back inside to enjoy another meal.“

“Absolutely the best food I’ve ever had!! The pastrami changed my entire life!! Bread pudding sundae???? Heaven on earth!! Bravo!!!“

“There are several locations! Way better than the first Kolaches I was introduced to. These Kolaches are addictive!!! I seek them out and bring them home every time I am in Tx.!“

“Great service and food Best lunch quick“

“Lydia at the bakery was amazing! Needed a cake with Mandarin Chinese writing for a birthday and she was able to do it so skillfully! It came out looking awesome. She was more than willing to assist and lend her expertise. So grateful for her talent and kindness. Having this cake for the event made it a great moment! Thank you Lydia!“

“Enjoyed my egg whites, avocado, and bacon on a plain bagel. Delicious!“

“So we got the Dubai chocolate, chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, double chocolate chip, oatmeal rasin, oatmeal chocolate chip, a chocolate brownie and a salted caramel blondie. All. Of. Them. are good! They are fresh and delicious. They put the perfect amount of creme filling in the middle of the Dubai chocolate cookies. Some of the topping did fall of the top so be careful taking that first bite! I have zero complaints. The smell of the shop had me so ready to try the cookies! The packaging is too cute. They also have different packaging options for multiple occasions! A dozen of these would make a great present for anyone who is a fan of cookies/sweets! Thanks Tiff 😊“
