3 Favorite Bakeries in Jacksonville, FL

1. Sweet Theory Baking Co.

Sweet Theory Baking Co. has been creating all baked treats from natural ingredients and by hand since 2012. Doughnuts are $2.50 or $28 for a dozen, and flavors include French toast, lemon poppy, maple bacon, dirty chai, matcha strawberry, earl grey lavender, salted caramel brownie, and espresso cacao nibs. Treat yourself to a Cinnamon Roll topped with vanilla glaze, or go with a biscuit such as the Club Chick with sun-dried tomato aioli for a savory choice.

Cupcakes are available in regular or mini sizes, and our favorites include the Blondie Explosion with salted caramel frosting, the Coconut with strawberry cake, and the So Fudging Bananas topped with chocolate chips. A Specialty Cake is the key to elevating your next event, and we particularly love the Cinnamon Roll Cake with Snickerdoodle batter and cinnamon drizzle as well as the So Fudging Good Cake with sunbutter frosting and a brownie layer.

2. Sweet By Holly

Sweet By Holly is the perfect place to stop by for a spur-of-the-moment cupcake in addition to a planned cake order for your next big hosting event. Fruit-flavored cupcakes range from the Keylime with graham cracker topping to the Blueberry Cheesecake with fresh berries and buttercream. Chocolate lovers are sure to enjoy the High Hat with dark chocolate ganache, the German Chocolate with pecans, and the Blackout topped with sprinkles and cocoa powder.

Customers with vegan and gluten-free dietary restrictions can enjoy Chocolate Raspberry, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Vanilla, and Red Velvet Cream Cheese cupcakes without a worry. Order one of Holly’s signature cakes such as the Bliss Cake with flower stars and crystal sugar, the Rosette Cake with pink flowers and strawberry filling, or the Spiderman Cake prepared with only a day’s notice for a guaranteed showstopper.

3. Le Macaron French Pastries

Le Macaron French Pastries is our go-to bakery whenever we’re craving a taste of France in Florida. All pastries, or pâtisseries, are prepared in-house and in line with traditional French standards. We love to pair our afternoon coffee or tea with a macaroon such as the Raspberry Jam, Mint White Chocolate, Lemon Cream, Columbian Coffee, Sicilian Pistachio, or Orange Grand Marnier. Order a macaron tower for your next work or at-home party to wow your guests!

Daily pastries include savory mini quiches, butter croissants, custard-filled pistachio eclairs, mille-feuilles with sweet pastry cream, fruit tarts, and fluffy waffles paired with gelato. Cakes feature multiple layers with filling in between and resemble a flat cookie perfect for sharing. We highly recommend the Raspberry Cake with chocolate macarons, the Gateau Choco-Coconut Cake with sponge filling, and the King Cake for a traditional Mardi Gras treat.

Begin your day with a pastry, treat yourself to a cupcake after work, or savor a slice of flavorful cake from one of these amazing restaurants. Afterward, head over to Tom Bush Volkswagen for the best deals on cars, services, and more!
