The 4 Most Incredible Bakeries Throughout The US
We admit it. Pinpointing the best bakeries in the U.S.A. is difficult. Impossible, actually. The country is so large and the variety so plentiful that you could never visit all the best bakeries in the U.S.A. in one lifetime. With that said, we have come up with a list of the top bakeries in New York, Florida, Texas, and California. So, if you’re a die-hard foodie with an insatiable sweet tooth and you find yourself in any one of these four states, make a point of visiting one or all of these bakeries.
New York
Most people who visit New York are familiar with the esteemed Magnolia Bakery. And while that famous bakery is definitely worth visiting, there are a few other hidden gems throughout the city. Honestly, in New York, it’s essentially impossible to proclaim that one bakery is absolutely, irrefutably the best one because there are so many world-class bakeries in the city. A bakery beloved by New York residents is Martha’s Country Bakery, found in Brooklyn and in two locations in Queens. Yes, that means you’ll have to trek to the outer boroughs, but that is really where all the city’s best kept secrets are. Martha’s Country Bakery, at any one of the three locations, provides outdoor seating. So if you’re visiting New York during the spring, summer, or fall, you’ll definitely want to grab a table outside and bask in the scenery. This bakery is known for its killer espresso bar as well as delicious cakes, pastries, cookies, and gelato. Dedicate a couple of hours to leisurely sipping coffee and nibbling on dessert before browsing the items one more time for things you can take home.
Florida
People think more about beaches and summery cocktails than bakeries when the state of Florida comes to mind. But some of the best bakeries in the U.S.A. are in Florida and are not to be overlooked. If you find yourself in Orlando, a visit to Gideon’s Bakehouse is an absolute must. It’s known for having the best cookies in the state, according to Delish. The ambiance of this establishment is just as enticing as their extensive dessert menu, but, of course, the main attraction is the bountiful supply of fresh, homemade baked goods. You would be remiss to pass up Gideon Bakehouse’s Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie, the restaurant’s signature dessert item on the menu. They have many other cookie options, including the Cookies & Cream cookie, Candied Walnut Chocolate Chip cookie, Pistachio Toffee Dark Chocolate cookie, and the Roasted Coconut Caramel Chocolate Chip cookie. Note that all these cookies are absurdly large, so one should be plenty. If you’d like to sample a variety, go for the cookie bites option and get a little taste of everything.
Texas
Out of all the best bakeries in the U.S.A., Nothing Bundt Cakes is the premiere cake place for cake addicts. They are experts at creating a unique selection of Bundt cake styles, flavors, and sizes. If you want mini Bundt cakes, you can purchase a Bundtlet tower, a gift-wrapped set of three mini Bundt cakes in various flavors. If you decide to dine out at the Nothing Bundt Cakes restaurant in Addison, Texas, you can order your own mini Bundtlet. They also specialize in large Bundt cakes and large orders of cakes for parties and other special occasions. The bakery has every flavor imaginable, including classic vanilla, chocolate chip, and red velvet, as well as other flavors like confetti, pecan praline, marble, and lemon. Order a cup of coffee with your mini Bundtlet (or a 10-inch Bundt cake, no judgment) and you are golden.
California
California is home to some of the most health-conscious people in the country, but that doesn’t mean they have totally given up their sweet treats. Whether you want a healthy dessert alternative, a paleo option, a vegan option, or just a good old-fashioned bad-for-your-health sugary donuts, California has everything. If you happen to be in San Francisco or Los Angeles, check out Tartine Bakery & Cafe. They bake their bread from scratch every single morning and boast a vast selection of sweet and savory menu items. It’s the perfect place to visit for a light lunch or late afternoon pastries and coffee. Although Tartine is a great place to sit and people watch as you munch on your baked goods or meal, you will not want to leave without getting a few fresh loaves of bread to take home with you.
