Bakeries near Oakwood

“This might be the best coffee and pastry shop we've ever been to. Excellent espresso and lattes. Ordered a seasonal latte with Earl grey syrup, and requested a macchiato with a "whisper of milk," which they hilariously indulged us and wrote on the cup. I can't remember where the owner told us they source their pastries from (small bakery in Atlanta) but we tried 4 different pastries and they were all incredible. Best bagels we've ever had, the chocolate banana muffin was delicious, and the lemon blueberry marzipan pastry was amazing. The shop itself has a couple small tables and lush green plants everywhere. Very cozy. We're sad we don't live in Gainesville. Highly recommend.“

“I ordered my wedding cake from here, and while we were taste testing, we got to sit down with the owner, hear his story, and discuss design with him! He customized everything to our experience and it was gorgeous day of! I don’t have a picture of it yet since the wedding was just yesterday, but all of the guests LOVED it.“

“Crumble Gainesville has absolutely some of the BEST cookies I've ever had! The cookies are huge, about 3-4" across and about 1/2" thick. There are a couple classic faves like choc.chip and sugar cookie variations (like lemon iced or just sprinkles mixed into the dough, or their Birthday Cake cookie -- which is incredible!!) as well as other innovations i.e. iced ginger bread, strawberry cheesecake (near unreal!), Hostess cupcake (which is deep dark choc with heavy whipped cream icing complete with Charlie Brown hair in white, lol. This one's more like a REALLY good brownie.) You can order ahead and go in and pick up, or just drop in bc they're usually pretty fast. I highly recommend Crumble. 5 stars all the way *****“

“I have ordered a mocha on 2 occasions, the first time I tried it, and a milk with strawberries on 3 occasions. Delicious, they are not cloying, you really feel the flavor of the cake. And the attention is very friendly. Their products are excellent. 100% recommended. The best option for your meetings and cravings.“

“This place ROCKS! I've been to many seafood wholesalers that really smelled of strong seafood...this place did not. It was very clean and tidy. The restroom was very clean. As we waited for our food, which was prepared, breaded, and fried right in front of us, a worker was wiping down glass display fronts as well as table and counter tops. The cashier who took our order was the most pleasant lady. All of these things are great but not why I came...I wanted good food and I was not disappointed. My fried shrimp was amazing; perfectly seasoned and cooked - no rubbery shrimp. The sauces were to-die-for. My wife's grilled shrimp was just as good. We will be back. Thank you for a great meal.“

“Definitely deserves all 5 stars. I had a simple brunch of eggs and breakfast potatoes (the sauce was yummy), but then I ordered the Napoleon and it was PERFECT. My husband loved the chilaquiles and chocolate mousse. We got several pastries and the gave cheese bread to go. And wow! The food AND the service was terrific. Highly recommend and will definitely go again!“

“Fat persons dream… Giant cookies that 1 could easily be split 4 ways. Chocolate chip & sugar cookies everyday but specialty variety are new daily as well. The day I went I got brownie , wedding cake, Randy cheesecake, & hot fudge Sunday. Let your cheat day begin here!“

“There are no words to describe the amazing food that is served. I’ve been looking for an authentic pupuseria and this is the place! Very clean and friendly. Ooo and the pastries are a must. Highly recommend the pastelitos de pina, they’re addictive! Please stop by and try the food. You won’t regret it!“

“I went in ahead of Easter to order a coconut cake. Picked it up on Good Friday and sorry to say it was gone by Wednesday. It was delicious! Lady was very friendly and helpful. I will be going back and telling anyone, this is the place to go for your baked needs.“

“This is the best gluten free bakery I have ever been to. Every week there are lots of different gluten free sweets and lunch items. I always go atleast once a week and am very excited to see what they have. The atmosphere is also amazing. The staff is so kind that I leave there feeling happy no matter what. Always one of the highlights of my week!Dietary restrictions: Extensive gluten free options“

“2/14/2024 Happy Valentine's Day to Lisa! She provided great customer service to each person that walked thru the door. With the store being extra busy for V-Day she handled it very well and for that I give her 5 stars. I waited about 5-10 mins in line and it was pleasant just to stand there and see the patience she had. Thank you Lisa!“

“Can I just say… YUM!! I’m a big bakery girl, I always go to one whatever area im in. Most bakeries do one food really well, the rest are okay. EVERYTHING at The Frosted Roll was spectacular. The cinnamon roll was the best I’ve ever had. Hands down. The cookies were soft and chewy. Cannot wait to order more!“

“I found this bakery just googling bakeries near me! I needed a train cake for my son’s birthday party and I was out of time! Not only did she make it for me in such short notice, she absolutely outdid herself with the train decor!! My son is OBSESSED with all things train, and he LOVED this cake! And the cake itself was absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend Passion for Pastry!! ❤️“

Her daily specials are posted weekly on her Facebook page.Her cakes, pies and cookies are the best you will find in Gainesville.The owner and staff make you feel right at home. Love this place.“

“La Esperanza is the most delicious bakery in town! As an English speaker I sometimes find it difficult to communicate. There is one English speaker who sometimes works there and I lucked out that day as I ordered Tres leches cake for a baby shower and it was 10 star awesome!“

“I can not express how much I loved visiting this bakery! Everything she made looked so good I felt like I needed to buy everything! She let me sample things as well and everything tasted so good! You can tell a lot of time effort and care has been put into her baked goods! As someone who is gluten free and missed having sweets I highly recommend her bakery!!“

“We just tried the southwestern taco pie and it was great from the first bite and oddly enough tasted better and better the more I ate. Usually something just tastes good or it doesn't. It got more and more delicious. The rest of my family loved it too.“

“I absolutely loved the cookie cake I ordered! The employees did an awesome job with the theme I requested. I have ordered from them for the past 3 years. They have never disappointed me! They decorate and cook the cookie cakes perfectly. I highly recommend this Great American Cookie location!“

“If you don't see it on the shelf...ask the staff, they may have it in the back.Example...we walk in looking for rolls. Walk around and don't see any. Staff comes out from the back and I simply asked if they have any rolls and she said, let me check... jackpot, Rolls!“

“I picked the wrong thing to order. I was going for a veggie bowl and didn't think there would be so many noodles. But, I'll try something else next time. I would also ask for the dressing on the side. I really want to try them again. My husband had the teriyaki and really liked it.Kid-friendliness: They had an outdoor play yard. It looked great for kids.“
