37 Best Bakeries near Longboat Key

“Got a sandwich. A little pricey but it's a captive audience on the key. Tasted good but they forgot our chips and nearly forgot our slices of pie. I would recommend this place for a quick lunch. Just make sure you get everything you paid for before you leave.“

“Stopped by the Lakewood Ranch Farmer's Market and got 2 different pieces - as first time customers we were impressed. The breads were the perfect combination of crispy and chewy - they were amazing. Half eaten by the time we got home, and was using them for every snack thereafter. We can't wait to go back for more!“

“I loved this little cafe right in downtown Sarasota I got flashbacks of Europe. The food is so good I loved the Hungarian style bread it’s absolutely incredible. The service was totally ?% they were always asking us if everything was ok and if we needed anything. I will definitely go back.“

“Delicious Gelato Experience!I recently had the pleasure of visiting the gelato go place on St.Armand's Circle in Sarasota, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for a fantastic experience.The gelato itself was a true masterpiece. The flavors were incredibly rich and authentic, and you could tell that they used high-quality ingredients. I especially loved the unique and seasonal flavors they offered, which added a delightful twist to the traditional gelato experience, I have chosen chocolate, mango and pistachio.The Owners husband and wife are from Thailand, but gelato tastes very Italian:)). They were not only friendly but also very knowledgeable about the different flavors and were more than happy to give samples to try. Their passion for their craft really shone through, making the visit even more enjoyable.The portion sizes were generous, and the presentation was impeccable. I couldn't resist taking a few photos of my gelato before digging in. Plus, they had a wide range of cakes, fruit salads, cookies, coffee, smoothies and gluten free options to choose from, allowing you to customize your treat to your heart's content.Overall, my visit to the gelato-go place on St.Armand's Circle was a memorable and delicious experience. Whether you're a gelato aficionado or just looking for a sweet treat, I highly recommend stopping by and savoring the flavors at this delightful establishment. You won't be disappointed!“

“The food was really good and the portions were huge! Everything ist made so nicely and pretty, the atmosphere was really good an it was fun to look autound allThat great stuff they had there. Also the prices are really fair and you get a lot food for your money.?“

“Don't let the abandoned look of the North trail shopping center fool you.This wonderful find is a gem of a little restaurant and deli/bakery combo. The central European cuisine is beautifully presented and generously portioned. And of course, delicious. The pristinely clean interior is accented with sleek granite counters and soothing projected images with light jazz playing at a appropriate conversational volume.We were eight people for dinner, and many dishes were sampled. We wish them the absolute best of luck and hope that they are discovered!Wheelchair accessibility: All on ground level.“

“An absolute delight! Last minute birthday cupcakes were needed and when I walked in, I was greeted with amazing service! I met one of the owners and he was so very sweet and informative about all of the sweet treats they had and made it extra special with the birthday signs for the cupcakes! They even have tons of Gluten Free options as well which is always a great find. Cupcakes were absolutely delicious and a hit. Thank you so much! Will be back when I need my next sweet treat :)“

“Out of this world delicious cookies! Love the weekly menu changes too. If you haven't tried them yet do yourself a favor and get a cookie! Today, I ordered cookies as a gift. Lightning fast service! Delivery was made within an hour of me placing the order!“

“every thing here is so perfect, they keep rverythibg clean and neat, the food and drinks are amazing the service is good they are kind abd welcoming i got the frozen lemonade and french toast donuts and theyput an extra donut on accident so whoever did that is my favorite person ever?“

“A lovely little cafe in Sarasota with service and food that matches the pretty exterior. SlI stopped by on a Monday morning whilst on vacation, and though the place was quite busy, the staff was handling it very well, and the vibe was fast but comfortable. My experience when ordering was pleasant and bright, and that was an idiom kept by all staff working at the time.I got a stuffed croissant with egg and cheese and spinach, which was quite delicious. My wife got a stuffed everything bagel with ham, egg, cheese and spinach and commented it was tasty enough that she couldn't stop eating it. I got my children elephant ears that they both liked, and my wife and I split a maple pecan croissant that was decadent and enjoyable. Overall, it's definitely a spot I'd say to stop at if you're in Sarasota, as they also had dozens of other beautiful looking pastries, a vast drink menu and lunch options.“

“Quite possibly the best crafted coffees you will find anywhere,, very informative barista ,,quite pricey if you buy whole beans and such .. but the per cup charge for what you get of lattes etc is actually almost cheap for the quality of the drink “

“Mesmerizing! As soon as you open the door and walk in, a warm welcome is heard. The scent of sweetness captivates all your senses. You suddenly feel like your childhood self walking in and wanting everything in the showcase. I ordered two different size cakes; both beautiful and delicious. In addition, I have also purchased different pastries and they too are amazingly, blissfully, delicious! In my case, the bakery is a bit of a drive from where I live, but so worth the travel. Forgot to mention, on your way out, the tagline, also a warm, welcome back anytime with, (paraphrasing a bit), “Have a sweet day!” In my opinion, whether you are a tourist or a Bradenton resident, you will love visiting Breezy Bakery.“

“I needed last minute cupcakes for a pre-birthday bash, and EuroCrave made it happen. They were delicious! I normally leave the sweets to the family but I was very impressed with the balanced flavor and that they were not overly sweet. The cupcakes were such a hit, I immediately ordered a cake for the actual birthday.Besides the tasty treats, EuroCrave was fantastic with communication. I highly recommend this bakery and intend to make them my "go to" moving forward.“

“Found through Google. It is everything I expected and more... The food (no condiments needed), the music and the vibe was amazing. My complements to the chef... Thank you for what you do... My Dad and I really enjoyed our lunch experience. Will definitely be back.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp straight to the front door.“

“We love the peanut butter pie. Our favourite. Be good to offer one with oreo crust. Next best is the orange cake. It is awesome! The chocolate is also awesome and so is the strawberry. However the lemon is flavourless. Customer service could improve...the young girl serving us was always in a hurry, and one time refused to accommodate us with orange cake slices even though there were orange cakes in the fridge that could have been sliced up. It was 2 in the afternoon, so still a lot of time to sell more orange cake slices the rest of the day. A big however.....coffee is Kureg but u r charged barista pricing!!! Signifying this would b upfront as I find it deceiving and a rip off.“

“The minute I walked in the door I was greeted with friendly smiles, and hello. The staff is very friendly and helpful when picking my food/beverage choices. I had the chicken salad sandwich on a multigrain croissant with the salad. It was so so so delicious! I also had an iced coffee. This was amazing. I Carrot cake… Can’t wait to have it tonight on the patio“

“Tried it out yesterday and best donuts we’ve had in a long time! Super fresh and huge! Love that the filling in the jelly and Boston crème was plentiful and a great ratio for the size of the donut. So glad we skipped Dunkin and tried this place out. We also had breakfast sandwiches which were delicious and made fresh. Everything was reasonably priced and affordable! Will definitely return again, they’re already gone and I’m craving more.“

“This place was fantastic! We are from out of town and we were looking for good coffee and pastries and their medium and dark roast coffee were both amazing! As were their donuts! Freshly baked. Waitress and staff were very friendly and was clear they loved their jobs! Highly recommend!“

“These guys just opened up here not too far from my house and I decided to give them a try, and just WOW! These pastries are fantastic! Everything’s made fresh, and tastes amazing. They also offer a selection of beverages including Milk teas, lattes, boba etc. The Winter Melon tea is especially refreshing and delicious. They have a cozy little storefront and all the staff are very friendly, I’ll definitely be a frequent flyer here for sure!“

“We stopped on our way out of Anna Maria for home. It wasn’t quite time to open but Justin opened up and let us in. The lobster roll was delicious. Very generous portion of lobster! Cherry pie was also very good. We will definitely make this one of our return stops when visiting AMI.“

“A busy Saturday morning, at such a fantastic establishment, you can expect a wait, but it is well worth it. Hands down the best breakfast we've ever had, outside of my own kitchen! The brioche French toast was light and fluffy, the option to get real maple syrup is a perfect pairing. The apple wood smoked bacon is absolutely fantastic. Veggie omelette, was so delicious and full of veggies! The home fried potatoes are seasoned and cooked perfectly. My absolute favorite was the marble rye toast, the most delicious bread I've ever had. And our server Ken was great!“

“Just had the nicest time at the Elixir Tea House. My friend surprised me with a birthday high tea. I didn't know what to expect as I'm not a big tea drinker. When we got there, we were escorted to a cute little room with sofas and chairs and a table full of tapas sized sandwiches and desserts. We had great conversation in a cozy little room while we sampled six different teas (they had 80) and had a glass of champagne. The service was wonderful, the food was fantastic and the teas were absolutely lovely. What a special little place. I will definitely return!“

“It's been years since I had one of their pies when they were on Swift Rd. I thought they were out of business and while searching Google maps for something I saw the Bee Ridge store. To say they're awesome still falls short. There goes my waistline.“

“Amazing food, we had quiche Lorraine and a couple varieties of savory crepes, all were the best we've ever had BUT we waited far longer than the tables around us for our breakfast and our server was rude about it rather than apologetic, then took 20min just to bring the bill. Maybe an isolated incident but it marred what should have been a rave review.“

“One day last week the girls finally had a day out shopping. We stopped in the afternoon to check out this bakery and market. After some cookies I asked about bagels and they only had frozen ones left. I brought a half dozen bag of cinnamon raisin bagels home. Just like the cookies and cakes, the bagels are to die for. They are brought in from New York every morning and baked in the store. I knew my fiancé would love it here. We rode our bikes using the legacy trail from Venice, and since Sarasota has wonderful bike lanes, we easily found our way to the bakery. Now to back up to the beginning of our ride, I took a nasty spill in the first mile and just tried to keep my wound clean along the way and continued my ride. When we rolled up to the market, I cleaned it with water again. Before I knew it, a sweet employee came out to ask me if I needed a bandage. We went in to get the first aid and they fixed me up. It was so nice to see humanity at its best. I really want to thank them for their hospitality. We then went to the bakery and enjoyed their fresh Fruit Tarts. Yummy! Planning another trip with our car to be able to shop the market properly. I highly recommend the gourmet food and the bakery but especially the customer service.“

“The AMI team is the absolute BEST! We accidentally made a reservation for a party of 15 people at a different location that was meant for Anna Maria Island and when we rolled in the small staff was terrified. This happened to be during spring break which is a super busy time and all restaurants are packed. But they quickly accommodated us and pulled together a large table. They worked extremely hard to handle our group and all the food was fantastic. We got really lucky they could have easily turned us away. They were even able to accommodate a family member in a wheelchair. Just amazing. At the end of the meal we gave them a standing ovation. So sorry to other location we accidentally made the initial reservation…we’re very sorry.“

“AMAZING!!! I ordered a tray of cookies from this fantastic company...It did not disappoint!!! The tray was packed with the most delicious cookies and some unexpected treats... The service was on point. The communication was amazing.Give this locally run business an opportunity to make you ? smile!!!!Thanks again Cindy“

“This is such a cute macaron store in the circle. There are so many choices of macaron flavors, including some seasonal ones. There are French pastries, chocolates and gelato as well. The staff is always friendly and patient while you make your choices. There are cute macaron themed gifts such as keychains and shirts in bright and pastel colors. It's a must stop for us for dessert every time we are in the circle.“

“Awesome experience! Delicious ice cream, best on the island by far. Great, friendly staff, cute atmosphere right across from the beach and affordable prices. I had the white chocolate raspberry in a waffle bowl with hot fudge. Amazing! My kids got cotton candy, double fudge brownie, and gator trail. All excellent! Will be back!“

“I discovered PRENDEZ-VOUS Bakery a few months ago and have become a regular customer. It's a little piece of France in the middle of Sarasota. The bread is delicious and crisp, the viennoiseries are just perfect and the pastries are a real treat.The service is always warm and friendly. The staff are always happy to help you choose the right bread or pastry.The atmosphere is warm and friendly. The bakery has a few tables inside where you can enjoy your coffee and croissant.In short, RENDEZ-VOUS Bakery is an excellent address for all lovers of French bread, viennoiseries and pastries. I highly recommend this place!PS: A special thanks to Orlane, who is not only attentive to your needs, but also super pleasant and welcoming.“

“one of the best decisions I have made in this new year was stopping by and checking this shop out while on a walk through downtown Sarasota.... amazing donuts and the lady who served me was as friendly as a person could be. Definitely will be driving two hours to stop by again from time to time. #Dunkinwho“

“Croissant and a latte, blueberry muffin, and a coffee, today’s indulgence. Lots of room for us outside dining which is a favorite of ours. A popular spot so sometimes seating is that a premium where the action is for Saturdays farmers market.“

“I worked at the Bradenton Bakery as a production technician/sponge mixer and I was responsible for getting the process of making the bread started. I mixed all the ingredients into a huge dough mixer and after it fermented for about an hour I pulled the troughs of dough, that weighed over 2000 pounds, onto a lift that raised it up and dumped the dough into the main mixers. It was a very hard and hot job but I loved working there. My experience with the company as a whole was awesome. I recommend to anyone that doesn't mind working hard and getting great pay and benefits to apply there. The human resources department folks are just wonderful and will treat you very well.“

“so yummy! this food truck was in my neighborhood today and they have the best pineapple upside-down cake I ever had! It was still warm from the oven! I can't rave about them enough. The owner was super sweet so I'd love to support this small business again! Run don't walk if you see this truck!“

“I love this sweet little place, and my nephews do too. The owner and staff is so kind, and the ice cream is rich & incredible. We got a sugar cone with cookies & cream and cake cones with rainbow respectively. It's a great spot to get some AC and old-fashioned, not price-gauging ice cream!! There's a nice drink fridge too. Highly recommend!It's right next door to Orange Blossom Cafe if you're looking to grab coffee & ice cream all at once! One of the best little corners in Bradenton.“

“Among the best Italian-American food I've had, on par with recipes out of the Two Meatballs cookbook. Just fantastic flavor on everything and you know it's made with love when there's at least two different red sauces for the different entrees. Not to mention the vodka penne sauce was mind-blowing!And Vinny is great - as soon as we mentioned that we accidentally ordered hot food instead of buying from the cook-at-home case, he started bustling about to adjust our order so that we could have the freshest dinner possible! Then threw in an extra loaf of bread! Also the ambience was spot on with an accordion player doing the godfather theme. Can't recommend this place enough!Vegetarian options: It's Italian: just don't order an entree with meat, there are plenty of options. Vegan...not so much.“
