Bakeries near High Springs

“This place is a gem! Wonderful owners, awesome atmosphere, excellent home-baked treats, and fantastic coffee! The Cafe Con Leche was the best I've ever had- well-balanced, not too sweet, perfect!! Definitely stop in and check this place out!“

“The desserts here are amazing. My hubby is lactose intolerant and I asked Laura if she could make something dairy free. Well, she went out of her way to change up her lemon curd recipe. We picked it up yesterday, I never got to take a photo, but it looked beautiful. She added a layer of fresh raspberries, blackberries and blueberries. My hubby devoured it and I did manage to get a couple bites...........it was fantastic. If you like lemon, this is the ticket. Thank you Laura!!“

“Secret Garden Bakery offers old Florida charm with delicious scratch baked goods. The bakery is nestled in an early 1900s home that has been converted into a sort of gift shop. The woman (whom I assumed was the owner/baker) is very kind. We tried 4 of the different bars (lemon cheesecake, have mercy!) and a chocolate chip cookie. I used to bake for a living, so believe me when I tell you I am a chocolate chip cookie snob, and this one be-stilled my heart. Please, if you are on your way to the springs, do yourself a favor and settle your sweet tooth at Secret Garden. I would even venture to say it would be worth a half day trip to drive to High Springs just for the sweets.“

“Lovely Queen Anne style classic teahouse. I’ve been here twice and the tea and the setting is great. Absolutely love all the unique place settings and different types of classic teacups and china that gets showcased. Highly recommend the Hummingbird cake and the chicken salad is quite good. I had a side salad with fresh greens and raspberry vinaigrette, which was very tasty. Ask for the dressing on the side, there was a pool of it on my plate that spilled over onto my sandwich. I really want to give this place a higher rating, but there’s a few fundamental things lacking for a really great teahouse. One is that the scones are not very good at all. I was hoping to find a more classic English scone selection, but these were flat and had a baking soda flavor. The other issue is, like many places, they seem to be having some staffing issues and so the service isn’t spectacular, but it wasn’t terrible. However, the owner seems to be taking this out on his staff and complaining about his staff to the customers which is unprofessional in my opinion. We were there twice in the span of three weeks, and this happened both times. It’s clear that the person who waited on us is quite new and has very little experience waiting on people, but complaining to your customers that your wait staff doesn’t know what they’re doing just makes the whole experience very uncomfortable.“
