5 Best Bakeries near Crystal River

“Needed something special for Easter Sunday dessert and boy did Queen of Cakes deliver! We got some cupcakes and cookies and I have never tasted such amazing desserts - fresh ingredients and not overly sugary either. The owner is so amazing and her family run business is very clean and inviting. My husband and I will make this shop a regular stop for special occasions - and on days we are craving that something extra. Give this place a try, it is such a better alternative than grocery store bakeries or pre-packaged desserts. Plus it is great to support local businesses such as these.“

“Adorable little cafe in crystal river. I love that they have outdoor seating in a private patio area. I posted the menu in the comments. Very cafe style foods consisting of sandwiches, wraps, salads, etc. they serve coffees and mimosas as well!The server was quick and attentive, and answered any questions I had. My friend ordered a hummus appetizer, BLT entree, and mimosa. The hummus was very good! It did need a few more slices of pita to be able to eat all of the hummus. I also ordered a BLT, as well as an Amy's cookie and slice of hummingbird cake to go. BLT was delicious, came with pickle and chips. When I got home I tried the cake and it was soooooo good. My lord it was delicious. The cookie sounded like it would be sweet but def wasn't. It has chocolate, macadamia nuts, and coconut in it. On the way out I caved and got two truffles. They are kinda pricey, but very good. There is a cute little shop attached to the cafe as well!Overall I would def come back. I thought it was adorable, the food was good, and the prices were fair. Cute little downtown spot!“

“First time here today, great assortment of cake donuts and pastries. Breakfast sandwich special is delicious. A bit hard to find on 19 since it is tucked in a plaza. Could use a little more seating for those who want to wake-up with their coffee and. Excellent option instead of DD. Also great way to support local business. Plan to go at least once a week.“

“FANTASTIC ice cream, super awesome staff and under new management so they are always open during the hours they say they are opened now. I will ad that the decor is super cute, come stop by and bring the kiddos and grandkids. The owner also owns Follow that Dream Day Care which has a great reputation for care for the kids.“
