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.“

“At first, service was questionable. I had to wait about 5-10 mins to get help at the front counter. Food came quickly. I got home and was missing something, so call the store , the Manager apologized, and I got back up there to the store and had my item waiting for me. The manager was willing to give me stuff, and honestly, the way she handed it in all most places, nowadays, won't do what she did. Going above and beyond to make things right and truly apologized. Will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“Love Golden Crown!!! Their cookies, mochi donuts and boba are family favorites.“

“I recently tried Crumbl Cookies, and I totally get the hype. The first thing that stood out was how soft and fresh the cookies were—they’re served warm, and you can really taste the quality. The flavors rotate every week, which makes it fun to try something new each time instead of getting bored with the same options.

Some flavors were definitely better than others, but even the ones I didn’t love were still good. The cookies are pretty big and rich, so sharing is honestly the way to go unless you have a serious sweet tooth. My personal favorite was the classic chocolate chip—it’s simple but done really well.

The only downside is the price. They’re more expensive than your average cookie, but for the size and quality, it kind of makes sense. Overall, it’s a great place to go if you want a treat that feels a little more special than your usual dessert.“

“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.“

“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 🥴“

“Let me be clear, I'm not big into sweets. But these cupcakes and cheesecakes they sell here are absolutely INCREDIBLE. I also love that they have free samples to try the different cupcakes so I can see what flavors I like. I keep finding myself coming back, I love their product so much! My favorite cupcake is their Blueberry cheesecake cupcakes and my favorite cheesecake is the strawberry one.“

“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!“

“las quesadillas. en mi primer experiencia viaje desde Minnesota a recoger una orden de quesadillas, recibí buen trato de parte de lucy“

“Good love it great yes yes yes yes yes“

“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!“

“GRACIAS GRACIAS GRACIAS“

“Who doesn't love really good cookies, crumble has a unique balance of different flavors, but I truly enjoy going on Tuesdays. I believe it is because that's when they have the semi-sweet chocolate chip cookie. Other than that my daughters my sons all love the cookies.“

“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.“

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

“We got a donut, kolache, and cheddar, sausage, and jalapeño biscuit. The best thing here was the biscuit! Great service! We didn’t care for the donut nor kolache. The kolache was sweeter than what we’ve experienced. The donut was sub-par. They kept the chairs on the table up when we went so we couldn’t sit if we wanted to. So be aware of that!“

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

“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.“

“Excellent paninis, soups and salad! And so healthy💛 the owner is so kind!“

“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!“

“We were gifted a box of Tiff's cookies.
We were not a fan of Crumbl but
Tiff's cookies were unbelievable good.
They are so delicious and melt in your mouth.
I walked in to the Southlake store and Bailey was so nice and set us up on their reward points.
The perfect gift for all occasions.“

“If you work in the 777 Main Building (or just want a cheap/filling/good breakfast or lunch), Rising Roll is very solid. Extremely reasonable prices, good food, and clean tables with quick counter service.

Shoutout to them for having a true espresso machine (for lattes, etc). They do a nice double shot of espresso and that's a lifesaver for me... much better than Starbucks. :)“

“Amazing staff, delicious flavors - highly recommend Saginaw nutrition!“

“Could always count on my dinner being a perfect, never had a bad ham.“

“I have used Sweet Memories for years now and highly recommend Susan for her catering services. Her cakes are moist, delicious, and always fresh. I have used her services for various events for fashion shows and conferences. Her professionalism is top-notch and so is the presentation of the food displays. I would recommend Susan's cakes and catering services for any event, especially weddings. She warms my heart because she is so genuine and accommodating for all of our menu requests. And the food is delicious and seasoned well. She marinates her meats, you can tell. I recommend her for catering and cakes!“

“We love this bakery. We have family members who are on very restrictive diets (gluten,dairy,sugar, and dye free diets). This bakery meets all those needs and still somehow makes a delicious products.“

“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 🧁 ❤️❤️❤️“

“This is hands down our favorite donut spot. The two ladies who run it are always so sweet and friendly. Their donuts are consistently great, and they always have the cutest options for kids.

Their sausage rolls are the best around, and they even did custom donuts for my son’s graduation party that were a hit. Reliable, delicious, and genuinely kind people behind the counter. Highly recommend.“

“This is probably one of my favorite bakeries ever. If I could eat this everyday, I most definitely would. The pastries are so fresh, I don't think I've had a single one that's been bad. Just thinking about it right now makes me want to drive all the way there again and get more pastries. It's just that good. 🤤“

“I love this bakery they make some very delicious items all the things that I have tried is best quality me and my kids go there all the time. Sometimes I buy enough for my friends. Trust me just love it 😊“

“The food is scrumptious! Fast service!“

“Saw them at the Texas Food Truck Showdown in Waco. The doughnuts were exceptional! My wife had the maple bacon and I had the Samoa—both delicious. And the family running the place were so friendly and kind. I highly recommend Doughnut Snob!“

“The best cake vendor I have ever known ..she does exactly what you asked for ...she's very affordable and delivers.she values relationship over pricing ..she gives you quality over quantity...am glued forever“

“This has been my new favorite Donut shop!! Tried many items and they have all been delicious. The Boba, sweets, kolaches and especially the apple fritters!! I don’t even really like apples but those fritters are SO good!! Always have great, friendly and smiling service. Come out and support this family owned business!! Thank you Queen Bee!! 🐝“
