50 Best Bakeries in Houston

“A mandatory stop before I head home to North Carolina. No matter what you get, it’ll always be good - just like home.“

“first time trying something trying something from a bakery love bakeries even I want to work at one in the future.“

“Best cookie shop in Houston Texas. Highly recommend. The owner is so friendly and you can tell she is very passionate about what she does. 10/10 recommend.“

“Before they even opened, there was a line! The line moved fast and we were able to order quickly. All of the cookies we purchased were delicious but the brisket kolache was out of this world!!! I will definitely make the 30 minute drive again to enjoy the treats from Fluff Bake Bar!“

“Loved everything I tried! The seeded sourdough, the spinach burekas and the raspberry almond croissants.“

“The staff are friendly. I got here for the snowballs. They are my favorite. They are typically soft and moist and dreamy. The other day the snowballs were a tad bit dry. The experience wasn't the same. I bought 4 and only ate 1 due to the dryness of the cake.“

“I love love love their cupcakes. Very fresh and flavorful. Their creams are really flavourful. We tried:

1. Dark chocolate 5/5 - the taste is not actually like dark chocolate but I loved it.

2. Italian cream 5/5

It's a very cute place. They dog treats too.“

“Chill spot to drink coffee/tea and enjoy time with friends. Enjoyed having our book club meeting there.“

“I been coming to this bakery since they opened and haven't been disappointed yet. There bread is always fresh. There place is clean and neat. The lady at the counter always greets us and is very nice. I have recommended this place to alot of my friends.Keep up the good work.“

“You won't believe the amazing variety of cake options they have available, and let me tell you, their prices are seriously competitive. You're in for a treat! Oh, and by the way, gelato is my absolute favorite. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!“

“Everything I’ve had was delicious! The gingerbread is fantastic but the breads are my favorite hands down! Challah being the best bread for your avocado toast! Friendly and helpful staff too! I can’t recommend enough.“

“Bánh bao, Bánh mì, Bò né ở Thiem Hung BakeryCafe rất ngon“

“In short: I have never had better fresh and warmed pastries. Morning Bun, Chocolate Chip Cookie, Cheese Danish. Insanely good (like could cry a single, silent tear good 🥲) Would return (literally every day for the rest of my life if I didn’t fear obesity lol)

In long: Friendly, knowledgeable staff! They shared all the deets about how the pastries and ice cream flavors are made and the unique ingredients.

I asked to have my pastries served warm and they came out like they were freshly made! The Morning Bun was my favorite (think cinnamon sugar croissant in a cinnamon roll shape…THE BOMB 😭) Chocolate Chip Cookie was ooey, gooey, soft, moist, amazing 🤤 And the Cheese Danish? C’monnnnnnnnnnnnnn so good.
Buttery, flaky, YUM!

It was so good, I was looking for Tiny in the parking lol please go and give this place a try!“

“Really like this place but wouldn't drive more than 20 mins for it. Well, maybe I would, because their Cinnamon Crunch donut is so good! Their sugar glazed was generous, and the sausage kolaches are delicious too. This place cooks the jalapeno with the sausage together--it's way better done here than at Le Donut 3 miles away (which surprisingly has the same 4.6 rating as Christy's). There the jalapeño is just sliced and put next to the meat. That being said, Christy's please put more cheese in your kolaches! It's hardly there.“

“November 2024

This bakery is a must stop for us in Houston. Great value and generous portion. Taiwanese style bakery with many different flavors, salty or sweet.

Highly recommend this bakery when visit HTown.

Parking: Great parking spots.“

“Just tried La Guadalupana for the first time and can say I'm pretty impressed with the Omelette Special I received. Was stuffed with meat, cheese, mushrooms and bell peppers and came with red sauce and a side of beans and tortillas.

Service was really good with the server constantly coming back to clean up small trash and refill our coffees.

Only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that they don't offer hot syrup with pancakes, but we also don't try to be difficult when eating at places. Just a suggestion because the pancakes themselves tasted good.

Definitely on the lower priced side but the food was delicious. Will probably be back here soon :)

Parking: The bakery is located in a small parking lot shared with a store so only about 5 spots. Otherwise it's street parking.“

“Updating my review: I loved these cookies so much I went Friday and got the chocolate chip pecan, cheesecake cookie and the Ube cookie. I was eating the chocolate chip pecan cookie and something chewy and weird like bad Carmel was in my mouth….it was plastic! A piece of plastic was baked into my cookie. ??The cookies are still delicious but that can’t happen! Kids eat cookies so fast they could choke….heck I could’ve choke (pics below). Otherwise, I stand by my original review below.

Original Review:
Cocoa Cookie Bar is a sweet little gem! ? I had the maple pecan cookie, and it was simply yummy—a perfect balance of nutty and sweet. The Ube chocolate chip, though, stole the show—soft, moist, chewy heaven in every bite! ? As for the red velvet, while it wasn’t my top pick (not the cookie’s fault, just not a red velvet fan), it was still an impressive treat. The customer service? Top-notch—friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help. ? Oh, and they make their own ice cream too! ? My belly was too full this time, but you better believe I’ll be back for a scoop (or two)! ?✨“

“deliciosos panes y exelente servicio“

“Promp service, tasty food at good prices. Relatively quick waiting time

Edit 10/13/24 - I thought that the chicken fried steak was particularly greasy today, so I've dropped my original rating from 5 to 4 stars. Still a great place but it's not as great as it was. Was also mildly annoyed they didn't tell me a refill on juice was another charge until after the fact.“

“Do yourself a favor, run ... don't walk to Crumbville! You won't regret it and if you run you will actually earn the dessert! :)

I have wanted to try Crumbville for a while now, but never seem to find myself in that area. Yesterday, I had a hankering for a cupcake, and it was rainy so I had zero interest in going anywhere. I found that Crumbville is on the Favor app, so I figured, why now?

I ordered the Blueberries & Cream Cheesecake cupcake. Wow, it was liking having a blueberry muffin, with loads of blueberries, and icing on top. It was so good!! I also ordered the Strawberries & Cream Cheesecake, Vanilla Peachy-cob-a-licious and the Chocolate Peanut Butter Snicker Crunch. All of the cupcakes are just so fresh and tasty. They are literally the best I have ever had.

I fully plan on stopping in sometime to check out the location. I hear the service is amazing, and I cannot wait to find out!“

“Had an amazing experience last weekend. I thought I had special ordered a dozen cupcakes on line, due to operator error I wasn’t charged and the order wasn’t placed. I purchased readily available cookies and Mac and cheese instead. WOW, the oatmeal raisin cookies are the best I’ve ever eaten. Huge shout out to Dylan for talking me through a mini meltdown over the phone.“

“Any person that enjoys the sweet delicacies of the Middle East knows that this place tastes AMAZING, so many options with so many different flavors and combinations, even sugar-free ones! You’d almost think the prices are too cheap for how good they are lol! Absolutely delicious and will always come back for more, all employees have awesome recommendations, Zeina always has a wonderful energy and makes the most truly delicious cakes, my own recommendation is a biscoff/lotus cake. I had it as a birthday cake and everyone asked for the shoppe’s name! Wouldn’t recommend any sweets shoppe if it wasn’t this one! ❤️“

“The croissants are craquant!“

“Being French, I love an outstanding French bakery, and I love even more that all is organic ! This way I don’t have to compromise taste, consistency, or quality, what a win-win ! I only have one other fave French bakery in town but they are “conventional” so Magnol always takes the #1 spot in my books.“

“Knew this place from the Galleria location. Saw this location is finally open, so decided to check it out. Place has a very nice dining area and living up to its name "boutique." Saw "Mont Blanc (chestnut-flavored cake)" and tried it; it's a popular cake in Japan. It was rich and flavorful. Didn't buy their mille crepes this visit but I bet they are excellent. They often have different seasonal flavors of them, sawand also have special cakes like Mont Blac too. It's a very good treat.“

“An absolute gem! Every visit is a treat for the senses. The desserts are fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. I’ve tried several items, and each one has been absolutely delightful. If you’re looking for a place to satisfy your sweet tooth, this spot is perfect. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves quality desserts!“

“I was looking for a GF treat for my daughter and not only did Hannah accommodate me on short notice but the cookie cake she made was delicious! I can’t wait to try our next order.“

“"The egg tart is absolutely delicious—perfectly sweet with an ultra-crispy crust! The bakery also offers a variety of pastries and pies. I tried their BBQ pork filling, and it was just as tasty.

The prices are great, but keep in mind that if you pay by card, there’s a small extra charge. Paying with cash gets you the listed price!"“

“I had the briscuit egg and cheese klobasniky. All I can say is WOW!!! I also had a sausage and cheese klobasniky and It was also very good. They use Prasek’s sausage (actual sausage), not the little hot dog wiener’s you see at other places in and around Houston. Randy you are doing a great job!! I will be by to see you again soon.“

“Great little vegan bakery with allergen free goodies!“

“Excelente servicio y todo la repostería riquísima“

“I saw a review on instagram and it’s on my way to work so I stopped by today. I bought 2 chocolate croissants and a Guava plus a kolache. My coworkers loved the croissants and I fell in love with the guava. I rarely post reviews but I think you guys deserve 5 ⭐️“

“This was our second time using Cakes by Gina and never disappoints. The designs is exactly what I wanted and the cakes are so delicious very moist and fresh. Will definitely recommend.“

“Crumbl Cookies is a sweet lover’s paradise and a treat worth indulging in. From the moment you step into the shop, the aroma of freshly baked cookies hits you, and the sleek, modern design of the store makes the experience feel special.

The highlight is, of course, their rotating weekly menu. Each visit feels like a new adventure, with creative flavors ranging from classics like Chocolate Chip (perfectly gooey and rich) to more innovative options like Churro, Peanut Butter Blossom, or their signature Pink Sugar cookie. Every cookie is oversized, soft, and baked to perfection, with just the right balance of sweetness and texture.

What sets Crumbl apart is not just the cookies but the presentation. Each box feels like a gift, making it great for sharing (if you can!) or giving as a thoughtful treat. The staff is always friendly, happy to explain the week’s flavors, and the in-store pick-up process is seamless.

Though the cookies are on the pricier side, the quality and experience justify the splurge. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just need a sugar fix, Crumbl is a must-try.“

“I ordered these based on what I was hearing. I was not disappointed. They are delicious, very well priced, and can I please take a moment to rave on their customer service? 10 out of 10.“

“Agree with the other poster that they make the best pinapple bun. I also really like the filling in the bbq pork bun as it’s not too fatty or sweet like other bakeries. Don’t be alarmed by the empty shelves they churn out buns and if you’re lucky you’ll get some fresh from the oven! The beef curry bun and pineapple bun with coconut are also amazing! Take the buns and sit outside on the communal benches on the lawn.“

“I usually don't write reviews, but the amazing introduction and service I had earlier today here forces me to make an exception. I went with my mom and we had the pleasure to talk with Sydney (hope I spelled that right!), who was SUPER helpful, friendly, inviting, and gave me some cool information about the place, as well as recommendations. I had the Vietnamese Coffee, which was phenomenal, and got a dozen mini kolaches for my folks. I've spent most of my life here and idk how I didn't know about this place. This is definitely one of the better breakfast spots in the East End/2nd Ward, and I will definitely be returning to try other items on the menu. Thanks for taking care of us Sydney!! ❤️“

“Best bread and pastries!!!“

“This bakery in Rice Village offers a delightful experience with its delicious croissant sandwich, generously filled and satisfying. The mocha is equally impressive, making it a perfect pairing for a casual outing. They provide both indoor and outdoor seating, though the outdoor option overlooks the parking lot, which might detract from the ambiance. Despite this, the quality of the food and drinks makes it a spot worth revisiting.“

“This is my first time coming to Le Swan Bakery, I would definitely recommend them ! Such beautiful work , cake was delicious, and macrons were wonderful! Everything was a hit“

“I was enjoyed Turkish coffee with butter & sugar pie. Clean and exotic indoor seating. No outdoor searing. Ordered food first and selected a table. Place your number on the table. Sever would deliver your food.“

“The best bakery in town! Great food and good prices.“

“I been get cake from for a long time the pineapple coconut and the German chocolate is two of my favorite my family just got cake from there last weekend and ever body love the cakes all they was ask where these cake come from I let be known they came from A&K Cake shop down the street“

“I was preparing for Día de los Muertos so I called to make sure they had pan de muerto and they did. I'm glad they answered the phone. When I got there it was chaos. So many people getting their pan on a Friday afternoon! I did like the variety of pan, galletas, cake pops, and especially Día de los muertos themed sweets. I was annoyed with their lack of organization on the line. I waited to be checked out, got to the front, and the cashier told me there was another line I had to wait. It made no sense. People were just cutting each other in line. I do wish their take out line system was better but I can definitely recommend the bakery. There's a chocolate muffin that was really good!“

“I was super impressed with the cake Tony made for my daughters birthday! We went with a vanilla cake with strawberry filling & Italian buttercream frosting. It tasted absolutely amazing!! He also did a fantastic job adding my daughter's pictures to the sides of the cake. So glad I found him.“

“I needed a truly unique cake for my husband's surprise 50th birthday bash. Crafting the perfect centerpiece was crucial for capturing the essence of the event, especially since we hadn't followed traditional cake routes like wedding or groom's cakes before. I envisioned a cake that reflected his passion for design, geodes, and masculinity. Despite being in California while organizing the celebration in Houston, I turned to social media to find culinary artists. Luckily, I stumbled upon Nafise's Instagram (@leyanasugarstudio). After browsing her posts, I hoped she'd be available to assist, and my excitement soared when she agreed. I shared my inspiration and non-negotiables, then entrusted her with carte blanche to unleash her artistic talent. It was the best decision! The resulting cake was absolutely phenomenal. Many guests even questioned if it was real because it was "too stunning to be edible." In the days following the party, our family couldn't stop raving about its exquisite flavor, declaring it the best they've ever tasted. Working with Nafise was a delight, and if you're contemplating enlisting her for your special occasion, I implore you to take the plunge and say "yes."“

“I had the briscuit egg and cheese klobasniky. All I can say is WOW!!! I also had a sausage and cheese klobasniky and It was also very good. They use Prasek’s sausage (actual sausage), not the little hot dog wiener’s you see at other places in and around Houston. Randy you are doing a great job!! I will be by to see you again soon.“

“Take a baguette to go. Delicious.“

“Best bakery hands down! Worth a drive from Katy, Texas!“

“l had 1 slice of German chocolate, and it was so good, soft cake and the filling with coconut was delicious, l also tried the lemon bars and it was delicious too. Looking forward to going back again and getting a slice of red velvet.“
