50 Best Bakeries near Watauga

“We just moved to this area. 1st morning in our new house and noticed a donut shop was literally a block and a half away. Nicest person and one of the cleanest donut shops I've ever been in. My family and I have found our new go to breakfast place. Thanks.“

“Donna made my son's first birthday cake and it was absolutely gorgeous and delicious! The cake was a big hit at the party.“

“My first time eating here was a week ago. Walking in, the place was very well kept and had a nice welcoming atmosphere. They had a nice variety of choices whether its food or drinks, and they have coffee!! I got the chicken bacon rancher, everything about it was good and definitely enjoyed the bread they used. Will be going back plenty more times.“

“Mrs. Grace has knocked it out of the park again! We needed a Sweet 16 birthday cake and unfortunately we came in last minute with our request (don’t be like us!). We gave Miss Grace an idea of what we were wanting and she took it ran with it and it made the most beautiful creation. We truly appreciate Mrs. Grace and Nash and all that they do!“

“I went to the one in Southlake, Texas today. These are works of art. You MUST keep them refrigerated. So plan to eat it there or go straight home. They are a little pricey but worth it. Recommend 10/10“

“Love, love, love Keksi Cookies! Their new Sweet Potato Pie cookie is my new most, favorite cookie ever.“

“Crumbl is a fun treat when you're craving something sweet. The cookies are definitely rich, so a little goes a long way, which makes them great for sharing. I especially like that they rotate flavors every week because there's always something new to try. The changing menu keeps it interesting and gives me a reason to come back and see what's next.
Tip: If you're not sure which flavor to get, split a few cookies with family or friends so you can try more than one! 🍪“

“Their costumer service is amazing, the prices are very reasonable and everything is so yummy. 😋“

Both cakes were absolutely delicious, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. Everything was so thoughtfully done, and every detail was executed perfectly. We received so many wonderful compliments from our guests! We couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out and highly recommend them for any special occasion!“

“We ordered a cake for an engagement party this past weekend. It was almond flavor. Absolutely delicious. I had so many compliments on it. Highly recommend.“

“First things first — this is NOT a paid review. Just me, my taste buds, and some honest opinions. I’m judging strictly on the food, so let’s get into it 👇

✨ THE HITS & MISSES ✨

🚫 Let’s start with the lows…

🌭 Kolache-Inspired Rolls — 2/5 ⭐️⭐️
Love the concept (all-beef gets bonus points 👏), but the execution missed. The bread-to-meat ratio was off — too much bread, not enough filling.
👉 Fix: slice that hot dog in half so it actually fills the roll + add a sauce or seasoning to give it personality.

☕️ Lavender Latte — 3/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Good coffee overall, but the lavender flavor didn’t really show up.
👉 Needed just a bit more lavender to balance it out — right now it plays it too safe.

—

🔥 Now for the winners…

🥐 Spinach Feta Danish — 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Listen… I don’t even like feta. And THIS? 🔥
Super balanced, not overpowering, and somehow still gives you that perfect cheesy flavor without being too strong. Easily one of the best things I tried.

🥤 Limited-Time Iced Coffee — 4.5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
I wish I remembered the name 😅 but you’ll know it when you see it.
Not overly sweet, smooth, and you can actually taste the coffee (huge win).
Only reason it’s not a 5? It’s limited 😭 go grab it while you can.

🍩 Chocolate Cream Donut — 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Perfectly filled, soft but holds its structure (yes, I cut it open to check 👀).
Chocolate isn’t overpowering — just right. This one’s a must.

🍎 Caramel Apple Puff — 4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Texture? Perfect. Filling? Solid.
Flavor? Almost there… just needed a little something extra — maybe a touch of cinnamon or paired with ice cream 👀

📍Final thoughts: Some clear hits, a couple misses, but definitely worth checking out if you’re near one.“

“Oh my goodness!! You created the most beautiful cake for my granddaughter’s fifth birthday!! She said it was the best cake ever and we all agreed! I’ve used y’all for years including my daughter’s wedding cake! Thank you!“

“I ordered these for my clients who have lost there beloved pets and ordered on for myself IN LOVE is all I can say.“

“Excellent cookies and very polite customer service.“

“Best Black Forest cake on the planet!!“

“Deanna Robinson of The Kid Kakes is truly incredible. I’ve used her for all kinds of desserts and treats over time, and every single item has been absolutely delicious and beautifully made. You can tell she puts so much care, creativity, and love into everything she creates.
One standout favorite was the Brooklyn Blackout cake—it was hands down amazing. Rich, decadent, and perfectly balanced, it was a huge hit and left a lasting impression on everyone who tried it. Deanna has a gift for creating desserts that are not only stunning but unforgettable.
If you’re looking for custom desserts, treats, or cakes that taste as good as they look, I can’t recommend Deanna Robinson and The Kid Kakes enough. She is talented, consistent, and a joy to work with.“

“I had such a great experience at Crumbl Cookies! The cookies were fresh and seriously some of the best I’ve had. The flavors tasted amazing. What really made the visit stand out though was the blonde girl working there. She was super friendly, patient, and had such a positive attitude. She made the whole experience feel welcoming and fun, and you can tell she really cares about customers. Definitely coming back!“

“I have driven to the Hulen St. Unrefined location for 4 years to order my nephews’s special corn and gluten free vanilla cake with strawberry frosting for his birthday. My sister told me Cookies, Crust and Crumb bakery was now owned by Unrefined and it was in Hurst and much closer for me. Ordering was a breeze and the cake was the best one we’ve had. They said they quoted me a much lower price than normal and would honor that price. I wear hearing aids so didn’t hear the price quoted and told her I was prepared to pay the correct price and she insisted I should only pay what she quoted. I was very pleased with the service and the cake got rave reviews from all who ate it even our server at our restaurant celebration raved about the cake. We should have picked up cards from the bakery to hand out! Great experience all around. Highly recommend.“

“Communication was on point. When I needed to change the pickup time, she did not give me a hard time at all. The Cake was made exactly how I requested , and tastes a m a z i n g! My baby loved her cake! Will definitely be using her again! Thank you for a great experience! #redvelvetstitch“

“I had the best surprise during my work meeting… a box of cupcakes to celebrate a co- workers birthday. If I have to get my cupcake fix- it’s worth flying to TX from TN monthly 😍. Don’t miss out on this wonderful gem of a bakery.“

“El mejor pan 🥐 y muy amables y el pan está riquísimo 😋😋“

“Best donut shop in the area! Donuts are fresh, fluffy, and not overly glazed. They have a large variety. We usually go around 9am with lots to choose from, but it starts getting busy after that on the weekends. Croissant sanwhiches and kolaches are very good as well. Inside is clean and child friendly. Owners are kind people. 100% recommend.“

“Gigi's Cupcakes has an amazing selection of cupcakes and sweet treats with plenty of delicious flavors to choose from. The desserts were fresh, the staff was friendly, and the shop was clean and welcoming. It's a great place to pick up a special treat.“

“I ordered pie from them, special request and delivery and Leaann went out of her way to help me. I live out town but found them online. They said it was best cho meringue pie ever!! thanks again will order when I go thru Keller, tx !! 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Came in yesterday and had the pleasure to be helped by Alana! She is the most sweetest person I came across and she was just so kind and made my day ! Her kind words and outstanding costumer service is to be awarded ! So I think y'all should boost her pay up or something… just saying 🥴“

“Cinnamon rolls are the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!!!“

“Love this little donut shop! 🍩 The donuts are always fresh & taste so good!! She’s always so sweet & friendly when I stop by ! 😊 The bobbas are amazing too! Definitely recommend checking it out!! 🤤“

“I love their cakes. Rasberry cheese cake and Lemon are so yummy. Staff very friendly and treat you with respect. My staff loves them too .“

“Very cool little pet store with bakery! We've been here several times prior to the name change. We've always loved this place. The assortment of bakery items is unreal, so much to choose from. They also had plenty of bones, flavored & unflavored. And tons & tons of chew toys, so much to look at considering the space. The people working there were so sweet, very helpful; even gave our dog some frosting to sample. Prices were just right considering the specialty items. Great experience! Thank you for helping our dog have a wonderful birthday.“

“We ordered a personalized cake, and they went above and beyond. I had said to just make it look nice, and they added a lot of accents I wouldn’t have even thought of. The cake was so cute and fun. The cake was extremely moist and delicious everyone honestly loved it. Also, the prices are great super affordable. Thank you so much! Will only get my cakes from here from on“

“Fun and unique weekly desserts!“

“We have been buying tres leches cakes here for years. It is by far the best quality tres leches cake we’ve been able to find. Highly recommend!“

“Our favorite donut shop!!! The friendliest, most accommodating staff. We ordered some donuts for our son’s second birthday (plus 24 sausage rolls of course) and the donuts were above and beyond our expectations! They were so kind, were ready right on time and absolutely made the party! We love Sweet Spot Donuts!“

“GRACIAS GRACIAS GRACIAS“

“My friend gave me one some of your German Chocolate Cake from TTP Cakery. And oh my goodness! It was delicious!! The rich flavors reminded me of my Grandfather, the cake was a favorite of his. And after he passed we didn’t eat it anymore. So to taste the rich flavors definitely felt nostalgic and warm. Keep up the amazing work! 10/10 recommendations for your bakery 🧁 ❤️❤️❤️“

“Gluten free options are awesome. Staff was excellent.“

“The food is scrumptious! Fast service!“

“I ordered custom cookies for my son’s graduation and they were amazing! Easy to order, on time and simple to pickup, and not only looked wonderful, but best of all, tasted delicious too!! I would highly recommend and will most definitely order again!“

“So glad to have found this at the Shenandoah County Fair. The strawberry cheesecake bundtlet is chefs kiss good! My tastebuds buds are still dancing! I had to stop myself from eating it all in one sitting. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. 30 stars out of 10! If you get the chance to try them, do it! You won’t be disappointed.“

“Tried this sandwich shop for lunch the other day and came away pretty impressed. The sandwich was fresh, packed with flavor, and the bread had a nice texture without being too chewy. Staff were friendly and got my order out quicker than I expected, even though it was kinda busy. The place felt clean and welcoming, which always makes a difference. Prices seemed fair for the portion size too. Not every bite was perfect, but overall it was a really solid meal and I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area again.“

“I finally gave into the hype and went here to try the Dubai brownie. My local spot was insanely crazy busy so I went Here to try this place out since it was nearby my work. Dude. I am so glad that I did. Yes it was busy but not that bad. The girl behind the counter was Uber sweet and helpful. Her name is Angel. I got her name to give her a shout out. Lol, The people were demanding and insane for this brownie, and I seriously could not have kept my cool the way her and the blonde guy that was the manager did! Super shout out to the manager there he was doing a knockout job. I just didn’t catch his name. Blonde hair with lots of tattoos, kinda can’t miss him….The brownie was knocked out delicious and the other cookies I got were just as good. If I could give more stars, I would five out of five best experience at a crumble EVER! (and I go to a lot, lol) Will be back, forget the old Crumbl - this is my new one for sure!“

“It was empty when I went around 9a on a Sunday, so there was no wait. The lady at the counter greeted me as soon as I walked in. The store was clean and smelled like a bakery. The items were arranged neatly and labeled. Someone told me about the donut shop so I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm satisfied with that decision. It's a nice shop and the donuts taste much better than the commercial donut shops like Shipley..yuck!, and Dunkin...boring taste, and Krispy Kreme...way too sweet.“

“The Black Rose Donut cafe is more than a donut shop. They are open all day and serve burgers, fries, wings, and more. Not only is the food excellent, it is prices way below other places. I have easily paid more than twice as much for food of less quality. If you like good food, low prices, and supporting small businesses, you should definitely add them to the top of your list of places to try!“

“This pumpkin little loaf packs just the amount of flavor, not too sweet, it’s always an addictive treat! I have to order in bulk because two is never enough. My family has to have one loaf a person at least! You will not be disappointed once you give this homemade pumpkin bread a try! Order some today! Curbside pick up, faster than the drive thru’s!
TIP: if it’s not all gone, you can also freeze some if you wish to stock up.“

“Came here from Iowa. Walked in today and it smelled soo good. We got a few pieces of cake, some cookies, a loaf of bread and a salad. Wow they were all amazing. Wishing we could get one of these in Des Moines!!!“

“Why am I just now finding out about this place??? It's phenomenal!!!“

“My happy place. I've been a customer since '04 I don't live close but I so by whenever I get a craving for the amazing jalapeño, cheese and sausage muffin, or the addictive ham and cheese roll. If I'm gonna be anywhere close to this place in the mornings I'm going to stop by here. The owners/ staff always greet you upon you entering and have been providing the same great service for me 18 years.... Thanks Busy B“
