24 Best Bakeries near University Place

“The cake we ordered for my son's first birthday was exactly what we envisioned! It tasted great, and they made sure to avoid allergies while making the cake.Dietary restrictions: We had dye allergies, and they completely avoided them also ensuring all ingredients in the replacement dye were okay for us!“

“Never had a bad bagel nor a bad experience. Love this place! I usually either get an everything bagel byo or a plain with garlic cream cheese.The employees are always a vibe and super sweet. If you're in the area, although the line is always long, it goes quickly!“

“Stopped on my way back from an early morning trip to Vashon, very convenient place in the heart of Old Town Tacoma and just up the street from Ruston Way, extremely comfortable environment with a quick and attentive staff. Highly recommend.“

“I tried the coconut cupcake today and oh my God, it’s one of the best cupcakes I’ve had. The flavor is amazing. The whipped frosting is just right, light and satisfying. I can’t want to try other flavors and order a cake for my daughter’s 5th birthday coming in May. I’m so happy someone recommended I try Love by the Slice.“

“Shockingly good. I was legitimately surprised by the quality, especially considering the reasonable prices. The coffee was actually good too! Easiest five star ever.Note that they do run out of biscuits at some point everyday. If they do, I'd suggest grabbing cheesecake at the least as it was also fantastic!Will absolutely go again!“

“This is a hidden gem. Despite its location in one of the rougher areas of Tacoma, this donut shop is 100% worth the visit. I recommend going in the morning because they do sell out of top sellers pretty quick (for good reason). I've never been disappointed here and I'm sure you won't be either.“

“Every time I come here, my experience has been absolutely phenomenal.The atmosphere is created by both patrons and employees and you could just hang all day!The artwork as well as the food capture the eye right away!Ive only ever had their cinnamon roll but it is THE most delicious cinnamon roll ive ever had in my life (and i love cinnamon rolls) it doesnt overwhelm and they are MASSIVE & affordable ❤️We drove all the way from Oregon JUST to get a cinnamon roll :)Give. Me. An. Excuse.My partner and I recommend this place forevermore!!“

“The deli sandwich and bread was so yummy! I'm laid up at home recovering and our neighbour brought over some sandwiches. Really impressed by the quality and taste. I'm really picky with meat and the meat they use is thinly sliced and delicious.“

“I saw this place pop up on my local Instagram reels! My kids love trying new sweets, and I was able to stop by this afternoon. Tucked away in the corner... minimally decorated, food displayed neatly and definitely worth it to try! My kids were so excited, it was hard to choose. We picked an assortment of vanilla creme filled donuts, rice balls and sugar twist, rice flour donuts. At the register, my daughter was enamored with the adorable cat cakes, so we got a small. ::insert cute squeal here:: haha. We have to wait til we got home to eat the Fluffy creme filled items, but it was worth the wait! I love that they were softly sweet and airy in texture. We will be back! So cute and so tasty!“

“So excited to find this place!! I can’t wait to try more but when I see Ube, it’s over. Everything was so delicious and well balanced. I loved the half off section, it’s fun to find bakery’s still doing that. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, I’ll be back soon.“

“This is an authentic Argentine bakery/eatery. Support your local small business and try and taste of what Argentina has to offer! Owned by a very kind hearted man who really is a master of his craft. I recommend trying his sandwiches like the original Choripan! He makes authentic chimichurri not like other places that don’t no what they are doing. Milanesa de carne or de pollo I also recommend. As well as his Empanadas which I love!“

“I ordered cupcakes and a cake for my husband's surprise party and was SO happy with how beautiful and delicious they were! This is a fantastic bakery that will not disappoint!! Their coconut cake was the best I've ever tasted - not overly sweet, moist and coconut tasted very fresh! I've bought many other pastries from Delish and highly recommend their pistachio raspberry muffins, scones, and oatmeal cookies! So grateful I don't have to go far to get the best pastries that are not only delectable but reasonably priced. Service is outstanding too!!“

“The little lady working the shop was friendly and fast. Prices were good. Donuts were exceptionally tasty. All types. Really surprising.It's a hole in the wall mom 'n pop shop, so it's not flashy. But the food is worth it.Parking: There are 4 or 5 parking spots right up against the building. Otherwise you'll need to park along the street. It's located right next to a neighborhood.“

“Picked up a couple of the Vietnamese special sandwiches. The sandwich shop is quite small, there is a counter to sit/wait & 1 table. They offer different types of banh mi sandwiches, that are not like the usual options - omelette, fish cake, sardine or meatballs. Adventurous!! Sandwiches were FRESH & TASTY! Portion sizes are very good for the price. All I can say is this little bakery bangs out delicious lunches!“

“Corner lot, drive through, plenty of parking. The girl at the counter was super nice and helpful. The doughnuts oh man they are amazing definitely the best I've had. Crispy on the cake ones with the perfect glaze ratio. The lighter ones are airy. The dough on every one I got taste sooooo good.“

“The double choc mint marshmallow pie and the crack pie were some of the best my family and I have ever had. The texture of the chocolate pie was amazing. The crack pie I can see why it’s called that. It makes you keep wanting more. I loved them both and Brianne was very communicative. Can’t wait to place more orders for birthdays and holidays! I also picked up some scones that were bomb and perfect for Christmas morning.“

“This is the outlet store for pretty much all the bread companies in the area. You won't get better prices on 99% of the bread sold here. They have a bargain wall of items close to best by dates and fresh items for regular price. I love they also give free items with minimum purchases. Spent $18 tonight and got two types of bagels free. A bag of mini bagels and a sleeve of Cheddar Onion Garlic bagels. Those won't last to see the best by date on Monday. Items vary daily and some days they run out.You can even get restaurant pack breads here. Some of your favorite bread served at restaurants is here. Cheap.This is NOT a restaurant. Not sure why google has it listed as one.“

“In my opinion this is the best donut place ever. I recently brought in two dozen for my coworkers (which the owner graciously gave me a few extra) and they were impressed. The donuts are perfectly made and not too sweet. Definitely get some donut holes and you will be set!“

“Such a cute spot on the Harbor! Stopped in after a morning walk to get a coffee and pastry. Friendly service, sweet local vibe, and solid vanilla oat milk latte! Took home a cinnamon roll and it was divine. Can't wait to go back and try the chocolate croissant!“

“From my wedding to anniversaries, birthdays and just because, Celebrity Cake Studio has been our first choice since 2011. The latest occasion was my husband's 50th birthday. I ordered the 8" Golden Ombré (blackberry cake). As with previous orders, it was a hit! Customer service is always top tier. They are the friendliest people. Stop by...just do it.“

“The prices are better than the supermarket prices. This shop is small but has brands other than Franz. No cakes or baked confections. They do have donuts, buns, and bread. They place was clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that the shop is a bit small.“

“I had the Gobbler sandwich on sourdough with pasta salad. I had a latte granita. My husband had the Reuben sandwich with potato salad and an espresso milkshake. I also ordered a scone to take home. Everything was delicious and the sandwich was so big, I took half home.“

“Trying to come up with words to say about Erin’s macarons truly cannot do them justice. They are all delicious and melt in your mouth but the Crème Brûlée is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Your first bite is like a delicious experience that rivals a kid in the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. But then,during the second bite, you get this burst of the most amazing caramel that forces you to need to sit down if you are standing. On the third bite, you are drunk with happiness but also filled with regret that what’s coming next is the final bite. One of the best things I have ever tasted and an amazing reminder of the first time I ever had Crème Brûlée at Giuseppe’s in Pismo Beach. Thank you so much Erin ?“

“Great coffee! This is truly a small community coffee shop with a non-pretentious vibe. My husband is crazy for their homemade pop tarts. It's a fun, friendly place to meet your neighbors and see local art. There is even a piano. The baristas are always down for a casual chat which is very refreshing.“
