Getting married? Planning an event? Want the cake and or dessert table to get eaten by guests instead of packed up in to go boxes at the end of the night? Then order all your goodies here!! Simply amazing!

My daughter and I recently attended a cake class taught by Brittany. It was so much fun and also informative. The attention to detail went above and beyond our expectations. The charcuterie and summer spritzer was refreshing and a delightful addition. Everything was prepared, directions were simple (and included hands on instruction) and my daughter absolutely loved decorating our cake. We left with a beautiful, moist cake we that we enjoyed for a few days! Highly recommend the class; it’s perfect solo or as a group. Brittany was so accommodating, we can’t wait to check out her bakery (this event was held off site) and see what she’s baking when we pop in!

Hands down the most exceptional bakery in town (and beyond) Bee’s attention to detail along with her amazing customer service are incredible to experience. The Humble Bee is a Winston Salem staple!

Brittany is a dream! I recently had the pleasure of working with her for The Little Chapel at Haven Ridges Grand Open House and Wedding Showcase! She not only made the cutest macaroon gift bags for guests, but also treated us to the sweetest mini cupcakes! Her work is stunning, and the taste is absolutely incredible! Highly recommend!!!Sincerely,TiffanyHumble Jade Events & Design

Absolutely Amazing and Adorable Bakery!!! Have been craving a Macaron for a while now and finally found a good spot. Stopped in today and got a good selection of flavors. Let me tell you, the Best French Macarons I've Ever Had!!!!!

I love this bakery so much that I booked a separate flight from a work conference in TN to GSO before my final destination in Jacksonville, FL so that I could take a taxi to Winston Salem directly to this shop. I went through TSA with a suitcase full of macarons, sammies, lush brownies, and meringues and I've never felt more like a celebrity in my life. Along the way home, I shared my suitcase full of macs with strangers and there wasn't one single person that wasn't in awe by how amazing they were. This isn't just a place you stumble upon. The Humblebee Shoppe is your destination. I still vividly remember the first day I went to the Humblebee Shoppe. I had never had a good macaron before, but kept hearing how I had to go see Brittany. The difference in such a small cookie opened my eyes to bougie pastries and my expectations have never been the same. Every time I see a macaron that is not from the Humblebee Shoppe, it saddens me. Since that first day, my family has celebrated every birthday for every family member with the Humblebee Shoppe. My children don't ask for Oreos. Oh, no. They need macs. They don't have grocery store birthday cakes. They have custom made tartlets in the shape of the first letter of their name, covered in edible gold and meringue kisses. And just when you think it couldn't get better, we celebrate with a custom charcuterie board because yes - macs and cheese are the combination you didn't know you needed. I guess if you don't want to be happy, you shouldn't come here. If you don't want to elevate your palette, definitely head to the day-old pastry section at Harris Teeter. If you think the pricing isn't in line with what she's offering, please seek therapy to work on finding yourself and determining your worth. Because, at the end of the day, I'd pay $500 for these macs and never look back except to see if there's anything else I want to add to my order.

Today was my first visit to this amazing bakery! Certainly will not be my last :) The gluten-free brownie was soooooo good! The service was extremely kind and friendly! My kind of place for a sweet treat - so appreciate the plant-based options!

Got the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cookie sandwich and a mermaid lemonade. Both were amazing and the service was excellent! I will definitely be coming back when I can.
I'm always on the hunt for macarons, so when my girlfriend and I were in the area for lunch, we decided to take a trip to The Humble Bee Shoppe. First off, parking is a pain. We circled the block twice before someone pulled out of a parking spot. There is street parking and a small gravel lot on the corner, but both were full. And weirdly enough, the gravel lot had a sign that said "no parking," but I'm not sure what else the lot would be used for. The shop itself is cute. The storefront is pretty with hanging flowers and some sidewalk seating, though it's tight. The inside is simply decorated, with a small display of desserts ranging from macarons, cookies, brownies, and muffins. Don't expect to have a lot of options of anything. We ordered a box of macarons (10 for $30). None of the flavors were labeled but the young lady behind the counter was very friendly and went over all the flavors with us. I opted to get the box because the price point for a single macaron is higher than anywhere else I've gone. We tried every flavor- raspberry, strawberry, lemon, pistachio, honey lavender, cookie butter, hot fudge sundae, salted caramel, and blueberry, and to be honest, I wasn't impressed. The only one I actually thought was good was the lemon. My girlfriend liked the cookie butter as well. All of the others lacked flavor. The blueberry didn't taste like anything at all. I also noticed when we opened the box that one macaron was noticeably smaller than the rest. It was barely the size of a quarter. Overall, I was disappointed in the experience. For the cost of that box, I expected something much better. I'm somewhat of a macaron connoisseur and always seek out macarons in every place I travel to. I've had amazing macarons in Charlotte, Atlanta, Raleigh, and Asheville. But the Triad is a total flop when it comes to macarons and The Humble Bee didn't change that. I guess I'll have to keep looking...or traveling.

Walking through one of my favorite Winston Salem areas to shop and eat. I stumbled on this new bakery. Of course couldn't resist walking in. Large section of macarons, cookies and more. Very cute sidewalk seating - good for people watching and having a sweet treat! Welcome to Winston!

Stopped by here one Friday and it was such a hidden gem! Rotating flavors of macarons but the highlight from this trip was the hot fudge sundae! They also have assorted muffins, cakes and cookies. Prices are a bit more expensive but worth it for the homemade desserts that use great ingredients
