36 Best Bakeries near University Place

“I purchased 3 items this afternoon. A chocolate merengue cupcake , a streusel cake,
and a pumpkin biscotti. The cupcake and streusel cake were moist and delicious. The biscotti had a good flavor but unfortunately was not crunchy, the texture was not like biscotti. Having said this I think this cupcake bakery is excellent and I am very picky about my baked goods!“

“We found this gem after moving to Tacoma last summer and it has become a staple in our household. If you’re looking for a delicious bagel/sandwich/coffee worth every penny - this is your spot. Not to mention I drink my coffee exclusively from Howdy Bagel merch mugs!! Carve out the time in your day to get in here!“

“The biscuit sandwiches are delicious, unique, and filling. I loved the atmosphere - they were playing old school Metallica when I was there, and the decor is fun. There was a bit of a line, but it moves pretty fast.

A great spot in Tacoma.“

“Wow this store had all imported German goods. What a delicacy you don’t see often in the Pacific NW! They even sell pretzels and other pretzel style breads that are great when baked. The deli in the back also has a huge assortment of uncooked sausages. If you’re looking for European snacks, come here!“

“Brianne made me an absolute stunning 3 tier wedding cake, cupcakes, cheesecake bites, and chocolate mousse cups! Everything tasted fantastic and communication was great!

The cinnamon rolls are to die for!! I got the pumpkin and cream cheese, sweet potato pies and a cookie and brownie box. Soooooo good. Definitely recommend!!“

“Been coming here since I came with my great grandmother, Bread, delectable pies, Bread, danishes, Bread, Smith brothers milk, always wonderful service from the employees even throughout the years as they have hired anew which is hard to maintain if I may add, 100% feels like the place you take your family every Sunday to get your loaf of bread and a hand pie for the kids to split. Real pillar of the community.“

“Best Donut's! Fresh,soft, delicious! Super Nice person serving behind the counter! I'll only get donuts from Franks!

Parking: They have a drive up window but I would go in and pick your donuts! I got a mixture of a dozen and every one is sooo gooood! Even after a day or two, they're still good! 💯😊“

“This is for the Gig Harbor location:) The variety of doughnuts are beyond expectations. They don’t skimp on the fusion for sure! The guava filled is super sweet so if you’re looking to satisfy your craving, try this one. The owner had us try their new butter bar and hands down one of my faves now! I also got to try the cream Cheese one today and it is on my top 5! I’m extremely picky with my coffee, but he made it so perfect! Customer service is great and everyone is nice and helpful. Really happy we have Fusion in the harbor!!“

“I ordered two cakes for my 2-year-old the day before his birthday party. The cakes were light and fluffy, and had lots of fruit in the filling and on top. The cakes were also adorable and looked like cats. My son was obsessed! The frosting was light and fresh and not too sweet. It was the perfect thing for the hot summer says.

The store sent us off with serving knives and candles for the cakes, and a gorgeous serving platter. Everyone I interacted with was super kind.

I also had my first Korean donut. I went with the whipped cream filled one topped with fresh strawberries. I'm obsessed! I normally hate donuts. They make me feel gross because of how sugary and greasy they are. These were light and delicious. They are what I wish all donuts were like. I'll be back for more.“

Kid-friendliness: Kid approved kids are always welcome“

“Year after year I ALWAYS go to Teresita's off McKinley when I want an authentic AND REASONABLY PRICED Tres Leches cake. Usually they are able to do same day orders other than on Saturday.“

“This is my favorite bread outlet to come to because of the deals that they offer versus the stores, but most of all the staff is always so caring and helpful especially if you are looking for something in particular. I highly recommend going in on the First Saturday of the Month for the big bargains.“

“Ang sarap nung yema cake roll $18 Lang yata bili ko. Per worth it“

“My first time visiting....We had a Mother/Daughter day and she took me to this lovely coffee shop off of Ruston way...the coffee was hot and tasty...but the Dill Chedder Cheese Sones were so flaky and delicious...I can't wait to go back...“

“Dragonfly Petit Fours were a lovely addition to my daughter's Baby "Sprinkle" Tea party. Bringing a little touch of sweetness to our beautiful day!“

“El mejor pan delicioso y la atención excelente“

“Products are good, perfect for people with huge sweet tooths. However, there is a short, much older woman who is unnecessarily incredibly rude to new staff who, mind you, just started and are still in training (maybe someone should tell her that). Honestly never want to interact with her ever again.“

“Ordered for a college event, they were delicious! Pictures of samples were provided for final decisions on appearance, and the flavors were creative and perfectly balanced. Definitely buy from this local shop if you want the food at your event to be a hit! 🥳“

“My absolute favorite bakery! Dorothy and all the staff are so lovely, patient, and helpful. The pastries are always buttery soft and the cakes are positively decadent. 10/10 everytime.“

“Pao's is our go-to place when we want donuts for a group event. Easy to call ahead to order and the order is always ready on time; the donuts are fresh and inexpensive; and the staff is friendly. Hard to rate the atmosphere...a couple of tables, people in and out. One note: cash only“

“Best cookie, made with the best ingredients, by the best people...you have to try it!“

“This is the home of a most talented baker! The pastries are like the food of the Gods, I have never tasted something so perfectly baked and balanced with just the right amount of sweetness! It's obvious they use real ingredients, it doesn't taste like other places who's baked treats are overly sugary and full of air and chemicals. It's sooooo good, I'm so glad I discovered this place! On top of all that's, It's very clean, the staff is friendly and generous, and they have a fully stocked selection to close from.“

“The items are good and the staff are kind. But it is also true that it is high class and expensive.
It used to be a little easier in the past, but due to rising prices in the United States and the weak yen, the price seems to be double what it was five years ago.“

“Connie’s Donuts & Espresso is a true local gem that combines classic charm with genuine hospitality. The donuts are fresh, fluffy, and made with care — from old-fashioned glazed to maple bars and filled varieties, each one has that perfect homemade taste.

The coffee is strong and satisfying, making it a great stop whether you're grabbing a quick breakfast or just in need of a pick-me-up. What really sets this place apart is the friendly service — Connie and her team make everyone feel like a regular.

If you’re in the area and love supporting small businesses with big heart and great taste, this spot is well worth the visit.“

“I enjoy picking up Cinnabon’s here! I’ve followed them as they’ve moved to different locations around the mall. Yum!!“
