50 Best Bakeries in Houston

“Bread and dessert taste wonderful not to sweet just right.“

“We tried the Cheese & Meat Manoush and falafel sandwiches, they were amazing! We will be returning!“

“Food is amazing, customer service was great as well. Im not much of a social person, but they made me at ease and my family really does love the food. My mom isn't a fan of sausage, but their mini kolaches really made a difference for her“

“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.“

“The BEST Cookie I’ve ever had🤤 and don’t forget to get your ice cream as well❤️“

“My favorite bakery by far! The Pistachio cake, Tea Cakes, salted chocolate chip cookies, lemon bars, banana pudding, and spinach artichoke danish are all incredible. I even ordered my birthday cake here — it was amazing, and my guests left no crumbs! The desserts are always fresh, and the owner Heather treats you like family. She is as sweet as her desserts! Please support this wonderful local gem! 💕“

“The sweets were absolutely delicious! Thank you for the amazing treats and great service.“

“Coincidentally, I ran into someone wearing a Sinfull Bakery shirt. I asked about the vegan reference. I did not realize I was talking to THE Chef Dylan of the bakery. I decided to take a Saturday drive and check it out. Wonderful surprises were waiting for me! Had the Monkey Bread Muffin and purchased the cheesecake with apple topping for later. I will definitely return. Check it out.“

“amazing bread and pastries“

“I am an Italian feom Jersey desperately looking for foods from my childhood. The sandwiches were amazing. Highly recommend. I bought an endless amount of desserts to eat.“

“This has to be one of the best bakeries I’ve ever visited. We may have gone a little overboard with our order and ate almost everything before I remembered to take photos! I guess that just means I’ll have to come back soon and update this review. We tried the Biscoff scone, Cookies & Cream cookie, chocolate chip cookie, brown butter Rice Krispie treat, blueberry muffin (with another delicious ingredient that I can’t remember because my mom ordered it), Biscoff brownie, cheesecake brownie, chocolate muffin, and strawberry muffin. Every single thing was incredible. Honestly, there wasn’t a single miss. The muffins were perfectly moist and tender without being heavy or soggy. The cookies had a texture unlike anything I’ve had before; soft, rich, and absolutely addictive. Even the Rice Krispie treat somehow tasted elevated. You can tell that a lot of care goes into everything they make. The flavors were balanced, the textures were spot-on, and every bite had us saying, “Okay, this might be my favorite one.” We also had coffees that were great, the inside is picture perfect, and the staff is so kind. Do me a favor and if Milo is working, tell him I sent you! If you’re anywhere near Houston, do yourself a favor and stop by. Just remember to take pictures before you start eating!! I clearly failed that part!“

“The place is very nice and clean. Lots of seasonal pastries and staples. Love how their sweets are not terriblely sweet, but rather nice and pleasant. The baguette with garlic honey where a little hard to chew on. A little on the pricy side in my opinion but worth trying.“

“Everything is wonderful but my husband’s favorite is the bread pudding., it’s an amazing spot and so quaint we love the vibe and the food..“

“Great experience with new ownership! Vibe is upbeat, but chill. The food is both historic and some delicious modern takes on traditional dishes. Service was attentive and friendly, including the ownership’s personal attentiveness. Highly recommend for a date or brunch with friends. Family friendly.“

“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.“

“I went in there yesterday to your bakery and got some sweet bread that my wife been asking me for. I loved all the sweet bread y'all sell there I got a little bit of everything and it was all worth my money. Very recommended to anybody especially over you of cakes y'all have now ❤️“

“Beautiful cake for my daughter’s birthday. But not only that, so good. Carrot cake and buttercream was delicious. Thank you for helping us celebrate our girl.“

“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“

“The Baker’s Son opened in Kissimmee, FL. I was able to go to there soft opening 12/4/2025. The Filipino Baked goods are fresh, and they have a variety to choose from. I tried a couple, and loved the savory chicken filled siopao and chicken filled pandesal. The Filipino dessert baked goods were delicious too. All made fresh out of the oven. They have a cafe in the bakery that I did not get a chance to try yet, but will go with my husband and kids in the future.“

“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."“

“Amazing!!! Everything we have had has been delicious, we love stopping by for fun treats!“

“Incredible bakery! The chocolate chip cookies are the kind you remember days later, with crisp edges, soft centers, and rich chocolate without being too sugary. The cakes are also on another level. I was never an icing guy but I'm now an icing guy. Soft, fluffy, never dry.“

“The Doggie Express is an absolute gem in the world of pet care! Their treats are not only high-quality and pup-approved, but they’re also made with so much heart. Every order we’ve received has been packed with love, and the dogs go absolutely wild for them! Beyond their amazing products, what truly sets The Doggie Express apart is their unwavering support of animal rescue. They’ve consistently gone above and beyond for Rescued Pets Movement and countless other rescue groups by donating and spreading the word to help save lives. It’s rare to find a small business so deeply committed to giving back. If you’re looking for treats that your dog will love AND a company worth supporting, look no further. Doggie Express is the real deal!“

“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.“

“Take a baguette to go. Delicious.“

“This place is good for studying/working, they have a lot of seating and outlets but it can get busy at times. The coffee it’s good, nothing crazy or specialty but just good to sip on while you do your work. Their pastries and food are great! And the staff is super nice and friendly :) I’d come again“

“Wednesday Pizza Night was wonderful. Pizza was great and the outdoor seating was so relaxing. Great place.“

“Delicious bread pudding!! Beautiful and clean inside. Lots of flavors and sauces to choose from. The owner is super nice and welcoming. We will definitely be back!“

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

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

“I tried quiche Lorraine. good chocolate mousse.good too“

“Amazing options for those with restrictions or even those who just want to eat better ingredients. You know what you're eating is free of fillers and junk.“

“Best and only bakery to get truly authentic Cantonese egg tarts in all of Texas. Both the flaky crust and the taste of the original Cantonese egg filling combined is a lost art here in Texas. It is labor intensive to make it this way, but these are true Cantonese cowboys in the kitchen. I've made them before, but it was way too much work.

If you fled from CA, due to the stolen elections there, you know that this is how Cantonese egg tart is supposed to taste. Made fresh daily too.

You can tell that this is the real deal because they have soft and chewy Chicken Tail Baos (i.e. Cantonese coconut filled buns, A.K.A. Cocktail buns) made fresh daily and Wife Cookies (i.e. candied wintermelon filled soft pastry cake).

This place is the real deal and the only true authentic Cantonese bakery in all of Texas. And, I've searched all over Austin, Dallas, etc...

You won't regret coming here to buy baked goods. The lost culinary talent and taste is only found here in all of Texas. Delicious!“

“Great pan dulce, friendly staff“

“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.“

“This place is a whole vibe! 80s Retro and nostalgic, American style desserts. Everything made from scratch and it all rocks! You got to check out there Saturday morning bake sales. Chef Rebecca collaborates with chefs throughout Texas and it's amazing!“

“Soooooo good!!!!!! The best dor breakfast or snack“

“Delicious cookies! Nothing like normal sugar cookies that are hard and crunchy. The cookies were so soft and delicious! Highly recommend this place!“

“Ruthie was absolutely amazing! She was so patient, kind, and understanding with my daughter. She made her feel comfortable and treated her with so much kindness and respect. As a mom of a daughter with a disability, those little moments of patience and compassion mean so much to me. Ruthie truly went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful for how wonderful she was with my daughter. Crumbl is lucky to have someone like her! I highly recommend this location and will definitely be coming❤“

“Absolutely outstanding pastry! The texture of these croissants is amazing!! Coffee drinks are spot on!! Loved it all!!“

“Delicious Kolaches. Warm welcoming staff. Get one of each.“

“Lots of cake options for walk ins! Everything was delish and everyone was so helpful.“

“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 ⭐️“

“best cookies ever!!! so moist and soft, best fillings, make for great gifts too!!!“

“Wow! This place is simply amazing! The owners and employees are so welcoming you feel like you are right at home. The food is the freshest and most delicious food I have had in a very long time. You have to try the expresso martini, top notch! We went tonight for a cake decorating event, so fun! Take a day and go visit this place, I promise you will not be disappointed“

“My favorite custom orders include: Strawberry mini cakes Vanilla Honey mini cakes Vegan Chocolate cake with raspberry puree in the center Peanut butter cookies Peanut butter pie Chocolate Mousse Pie The cake is so moist and delicious! Also they only use maple syrup, honey, and coconut sugar so I don't feel guilty eating the treats since paleo ingredients are better for the body.“

“Cake was great and look great would highly recommend“

“Pineapple BBQ pork bun is a must have. The contrast between the sweet, crunchy pineapple topping and the savory BBQ pork filling is easily the best in town. They are consistently fresh, fluffy, and full of flavor.
Pro-Tip: These sell out fast! Make sure to call at least 30 minutes ahead to place your order. Also, keep in mind there is a 6-bun minimum“

“Get there early or they'll sell out (the cinnamon rolls were sold out by 10:45 that day)! There are picnic tables outside and windowsills inside where you can sit if you don't mind standing in line😄😋“

“Sweets by Monica are always so helpful, they are quick to reply and they have the best birria quesatacos I've had so far. They are also having a special during February...with a purchase of their taco tray you can get free ferrero rocher chocolates or a bottle of Moscato for $45🤤❤️“
