Wondering where to find the best bakeries near you?
Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the top bakeries in Elk Grove, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of where to fill the bill.
1. Cookie Jar
Topping the list is Cookie Jar. Located at 9624 Bruceville Road, Suite 101, it's the highest rated bakery in Elk Grove, boasting 4.5 stars out of 223 reviews on Yelp.
Yelpers praise the wide variety and generous size of the freshly baked cookies, as well as the ice cream sandwiches that the shop makes fresh with vanilla ice cream and two cookies (customer's choice.) However, seating inside is limited.
2. Nothing Bundt Cakes
Next up is Nothing Bundt Cakes, situated at 8234 Laguna Blvd., Suite 130. With 4.5 stars out of 183 reviews on Yelp, the Elk Grove outpost of the Las Vegas-based national chain specializing in bundt cakes has proven to be a local favorite.
Yelpers praise the "bundtlet" personal-size treats, the wide variety of flavors, and the consistently good service.
3. Above & Beyond Cakes
Above & Beyond Cakes, located at 9372 Elk Grove Florin Road, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the bakery specializing in custom cakes 4.5 stars out of 126 reviews.
Although Above & Beyond's big draw is specialty cakes for weddings, birthdays, graduations and other special occasions, it also provides more wide-ranging desserts like cupcakes, bars and cookies.
4. JR's Donuts
JR's Donuts, a bakery that offers doughnuts and more in Camden, is another much-loved go-to, with 4.5 stars out of 42 Yelp reviews.
Reviewers love the maple bacon bar, the ham and cheese croissant and the good value of baked goods. The joint also serves Gunther's ice cream. Head over to 9170 Elk Grove Florin Road, Suite F to see for yourself.
