Best Italian Pastry Shops In Indianapolis Near Me

Phillip Black: Perfect

Brett Rathmell: Tiny shop with lots of Big tasting pastries , cakes , breads & friendly staff ( almost feels like I'm in Europe again )

PETRA STANFIELD: I bought a mixed berry, key lime bread pudding at the place. It looked like and was shaped like a larger than average muffin.While the bread pudding part was moist and had just the right amount of sugar, it was lacking of other items. There were a few berries and streusel on top, but absolutely none inside of the rest of the body.I couldn’t taste anything which would have identified as key lime .

David Sites: Extremely tasty, very nice selection, we had blueberry scones & blueberry bread pudding, delicious!!

Andrew Fultz: Best bakery in town! Cakes, muffins, macaroons and more! Cannot go wrong with Rene's. The staff is so welcoming and friendly as well.

Jim Kelley: Best bakery anywhere! We always compare goodies we get elsewhere vs. Rene's. Rene's wins 95% of the time.

Tom Spalding: Our go-to year-in and year-out for chocolate cakes. None better in Indy and the lines out the door speak for themself. Worth the wait!

The staff is also super friendly. My son said he wants to come back every day!

J C: Omg…just stopped in for the first time. So many delicious treats, we went a bit crazy! :). Got out to the car and scarfed down a piece of blueberry coffee cake and my wife had a chocolate cream eclair. Love the environment and the folks were really nice. Definitely will be visiting again.

Carlton Beever: I stop here anytime I'm out west on Rockville Road. They have THE BEST rolls and pastries. Had their cakes twice in the past. Also, it is delicious. We need a location downtown or on the Eastside of Indy.

Noah Vázquez: La mejor pastelería & panadería de Indianapolis.🎂🤗🎂

Ihas23CRAYONS !!!: Never let down shopping here. Pleasantly surprised by how they put the words on the cake. It looks so much better than just writing it on top of the cake. I ordered Rompope cake and the flavor was perfect!

Julio Briones: Great tres leches cake and the place is clean, great service as well.

Fabiola Valdez: Deliciosos pasteles pasteles no dulces exelente todo

Jillian Ashton: This is my to go to place for the best croissants in the city as well as special occasion cakes. The fresh baked bread is perfection. The propieter is hard working, and has a heart for bringing the best product to her customers!

Grant Helms: Although its location in the Artisan Marketplace (AMP building) appears unassuming, Circle City Sweets boasts some truly exquisite pastry offerings. Both breakfast and dessert pastry items are found in the menu, and you can’t go wrong with either (or anything available that day, really). Specific items go fast, so arrive early, especially if you want what is unquestionably the best almond croissant in the city — a transcendent highlight that brings together rich, hearty bakery flavors from a Midwestern oven with a flaky, complex dough. You’ll be glad you snagged one.

Celeste Cruz: We stopped in early around 9:00am this morning and they had no chocolate or almond croissants available. We were very disappointed as it was difficult to find and park here. We probably won’t be coming back.

luis ibanez: I had their chocolate croissant, it was super soft and very crusty at the same time. Semi sweet dark chocolate filling is really good. I also had the creme Brulee sof smooth and great vanilla flavor!

Emily F: Wow. Well worth the stop, well worth the price (4 macarons, 1 almond croissant, two brownies, two cakes, and 1 streusal bar for $30). Delicious baked goods -- huge, fresh portions of all sorts of items! Chocolate pastries, fruit pastries, breakfast items, lunch sandwiches, cakes, croissants of all varieties... I am going back for another stop. The macarons are dreamy.

Sarah Thixton: The absolute best croissant in town!!! Get some, you won’t regret it!

Denice Roberson: A-MAZING! As a first time customer I felt so welcomed. I had total undivided attention and felt appreciated. I had never tried macaroons and I'll tell you. These were delicious morsels from heaven. All I can say is...YUMMY

Jack Huddleston: Was so lucky today! Got a couple of Almond Croissants for my wife and I. Every time we have come to Amp to get them they are always sold out. Circle City Sweets is awesome, come to the Amp and check them out! As well as other locally owned vendors here! #supportlocal

Chris Johnson: Best Croissants ever! Almond was amazing. Ham and Cheese awesome as well.

olga mogollon: Their treats are AMAZING. Best croissants in the city, well honestly best I've ever had anywhere.UPDATE: Sent an edit to google and they fixed the location. Should be able to google directions now.Don't use the Google location to find them though. You'll end up at an iupui building. Use the fish Market or go to their website for very specific directions.

Susan: THE BEST almond croissant I've ever had!!! Their new location is not convenient for me but their almond croissant is worth the trip. I also bought their croissants at a market on Virginia Ave.

Matthew Dix: This is the bakery I’ve been wanting. As far as sweet breads go, this delights my European taste. :)I’m excited to try their sourdough as soon as I can get back.

sharanya chandran: Definitely one of the good bakeries in Indianapolis. We have tried many sweets from here and never been disappointed. Almond croissant is delicious and got wheat bread which is good too. Do crash in this place @amp for some good treats👍🏼

Prasad Nair: Love the Almond Croissants, Breads and Macaroons.

David Feinberg: I was so excited to see the amazing new location for Circle City Sweets at 16 Tech. All of my favorite pastries made the move over. I was able to get my favorite one fresh out of the oven, a kouign-amann, and it was just as amazing as before. So many delicious buttery layers of dough, the perfect amount of cheese filling. So many amazing other items available too, but the Kouign-amann will always be my favorite!

DEEeee: Their pastries are amazing I only came for macaroons but, left with a few more goodies 🙆🏾‍♀️

Charmy G.: I've been coming here for the past few years and I've tried many of their sweets. The lemon ginger cookies are my favorite! Hands down the best. The muffins and tart like treats are great. I tried the scones and had no idea what to expect, it was like a bisquick biscuit but a scone is a scone LOL. The almond croissants were too crunchy and messy. I tried them on several occasions wanting to love them but they were a miss each time.

trent s: Great staff! Very friendly and helpful!! Loved everything we got! Will be back soon!!

logan fry: Great price and delicious taste

Traci A: The best pain au chocolate croissant EVER! And the Sour Cream Pecan Coffee Cake is delicious! Circle City Soups are wonderful too! We ❤ them!

Rachel McCaffrey: Great atmosphere and even better foccacia! It's my go to for hostess gifts and their scones are out of this world.

Ashlee Nemeth: They have the best bread!

Kasia S: Best bakery in 100 mile radius

Jessica McKamey: Yes please

Bubbles4112: Went for pastries & they didn't have that many in terms of kinds. They mostly had cookies so i got cookies & brownies. They have interesting choices so i got 2 of each. Wish I didn't. Not only were they hard as rocks but the cookies & brownies had huge flakes of salt on them. I don't like the taste of salt. So disappointing!

Kris Reed: Love love love it!!!!! Best bear claws and focaccia bread!!! But everything in there looks amazing and always great service!

Twon Is Twon: great quality bread made with fermentation, delectable pastries and cookies (brown butter chocolate chip is my fav). Unique grocery items available like local jersey milk, specialty cheeses and in house made grab and go items.Not a better storefront bakery in town.

laura chaves: Not many baked good options

The MC Airplane: Expensive, rude

E E: Everything here is delicious from the 2$ biscuits to the twice baked almond croissants… u cannot go wrong getting baked goods from here !! If I lived closer , I would come here everyday !

Christina Hrubey: Love their online ordering and curbside pickup. Super helpful for disabled folks or those who are neurodivergent. Products are delicious and their grocery and bulk items are accessible. Favorites include the laminated cinnamon buns, savory city loaf, kouign amann, morning buns, and capicolo twists.

SW K: My third time to Amelia. The croissants are always good. However the Pullman loaf we got today was pretty... mediocre if not awful. It is dry and with thick "crust". Not sure if we expect too much from it. I probably will keep going to Amelia for the croissant but never again the Pullman loaf.

Erin Barr: This place doesn't need my review. It's amazing. The bread and pastry are better than we deserve. This place will be one of the reasons I cry whenever we move from this neighborhood.

Robert Stevens: I discovered Amelia’s on my birthday weekend when I wanted to get a few things that I love from France as I am an avid Francophile and French teacher. I wasn’t disappointed with the baguette and other items I got.Yesterday, I returned for the second time for more and earlier this time for a stronger selection of items. I am currently eating the pain au chocolat (chocolate croissant) and I can say it is taking me to France. As they say in one of my favorite movies, “The Hundred-Foot Journey,” “Food is memories.”Great job! I will be back.

Johnny Guitar: Got a chocolate croissant and it changed my life

Amy Shater: Wonderful little artisanal bakery — L.O.V.E. the Ribbon Loaf which is a small 3x5-ish inch soft flaky croissant-like sourdough loaf with a cranberry compote center, sheer lemony icing glaze, & garnished with dried cranberries & a thyme sprig — a quintessential holiday culinary masterpiece that tastes as divine as it looks!! Perfect for brunch (everyone wanted their own loaf!) or to wrap up for holiday gift-giving. The Morning Bun is also delicious – this one is more of a rustic creation with a schmear of thick icing on the top and a lemony sticky bun base. Amelia’s Virginia Street location is my absolute favorite – tiny, but surprisingly robust in specialty food offerings. It reminds me of the quaint specialty stores of the 80s, like Barefoot Contessa and others, where one can find curated delicacies for serving and cooking. This is an absolute win for Indianapolis & I’m so glad I found you – YAY!! p.s. the customer service is phenomenal, as well - an all-around home run!!

kyle west: Delicious 😋 baked bread and pastries 🍰. Welcoming staff. Highly recommend 👌

Loving Life: this place baking is some of the best in Indianapolis. The flavors they produce are things I have never experienced before

Halle Choi: I had a really incredible savory danish here I think the filling was some type of Carmelized onion and white bean~ sooooo good!

Ghadeer AlMuhaisen: One of the best bakeries in indy!My favorite are croissants, pecan cookies, cinnamon rolls, semolina loaf, also this apple brioche tart is amazing. Kind of prefer their dessert more than savory pastries.. I recommend going there as early as u can coz many options will be sold out in the afternoon.

Gerardo Gonzalez-Rubio: El mejor pan de la zona

Gaby Cruz: Pan delicioso 👍

Berta Barron-Escobedo: Great Mexican bread 🍞

ash: horrible i ordered a designed cake for my nephews birthday and all they gave me was a mess ! They printed out the exact photo of an example of the design that I wanted and just put it on top it was literally another photo of a cake on top of the cake didn’t even add the cars and when I went to get a refund the employee didn’t even apologize or nothing they didn’t care at all horrible !

Man Indy: Good bakery and friendly employees.

Mike Wiese: Best damn bolio in town.

Stephany Carrigg: I've been to other bakeries for Tres Leches. Then I found Alva's Bakery. I've been ordering from here every year for many years. Everyone is always pleasant and helpful! Cakes and breads are delicious! We all love it here!

This place is kind of off the beaten path, but we'll worth the visit. Thank you Boyden's. Appreciate the help and great customer service!!!

Brad Carroll: Favorite bakery

S W: I got my husband a strawberry crunch cake for his birthday and it was delicious! It was huge so I thought there was no way we could eat it all but it was so good that we ate every bit. I arranged for store pick-up but they had deliveries in my area so they delivered it free of charge. Great customer service and delicious cake. I will definitely be ordering from her again.

Debbie Williams: Pie and rolls were delicious!

Sarah Thomas: Our cake was beautiful and delicious! I highly recommend Cretia Cakes.

Gary Crispin: Discovered their caramel cakes at Zoobilation. I can't eat chocolate so caramel is my obsession and I'm somewhat of a caramel connoisseur. They have the best caramel icing anywhere.

Whitney Klein: We contacted Cretia to make us a PICKLE CAKE for our prep chef and she did an amazing job! I sent her some pics I found online and she NAILED IT. She was also able to accommodate us on short notice which I really appreciated. (But don’t be like me and wait until the last minute) The cake was so perfect we didn’t want to cut into it! But we did, and it was delicious. THANK YOU for making us a PICKLE CAKE!

Mandi Perry: Great family business. LaCretia and Angelo go above and beyond to take care of their customers needs. Highly recommend.

Sherry Jones: I’m so happy I found Cretia Cakes! My grandson’s 1st birthday cowboy theme cake & smash cake were amazing. The cakes matched the decorations perfectly! The cake was moist and tasty.

Renee Marshall: Stopped in on my way to a party and they were closed, during hours of operation.

Diane Boyd: Delicious, to die for caramel cakes, kind, friendly and professional service!!! ❤️

Jennifer smerdel: Cretia cakes is AMAZING! I asked for a “Bluey” cake and a blue colored smash cake for my nieces first birthday and they absolutely knocked it out of the park. It look exactly like the photos I sent them AND everyone was talking about how the cake was delicious (which doesn’t always happen with cakes that look this good!). I couldn’t speak more highly of them and they were SOOO easy to work with and coordinate with too.

Iiva Smith: I was impressed by how when i left a message to place an order around 8pm on a Wed, i was called back within 30 mins and was able to pay and place and order online. I was told I could pick up on Saturday, perfect. However, when i called to checked to see what time they closed on Saturday ( me just arriving back in town from Miami) the man who answered the phone said i couldn't make it in they close at 2pm and that he has as an event he is about to work, and he doesn't open until the following Thursday but may be in Monday to pick it up. Disappointed that if the hours of operations are not convenient, just give me the customer a courtesy call. Now the cake will be old. So much for supporting black business, subpar customer service and operating like a small black business instead of franchising, and expansion. I tried to support. Thank God for my Jewish deli Shapiro's who will turn around a cake in 24 hours and be open conveniently so i can pick it up and enjoy it. We will never be exceptionally great...oh well. Just donated $45, the cake will be old once i am able to get it due to the operating hours. 🎂 Happy birthday, Mom!

Boo True (Boo): My granddaughter cake was so Amazing!!! Cretia and husband was so warm and welcoming thru the whole process. The sad thing about it all . I didn’t take a picture of my granddaughter 8th birthday cake. I😭 so sad about that. But over all I found a great bakery that does an amazing job, on 🔝 of good customer service. May I say more.. They BLACK OWNED , Hello Thank you Cretia bakery for a beautiful cake.

gabrielle edwards: I ordered some cupcakes for a birthday party, and if you like a store bought cupcake like Kroger’s or Meijer cupcakes then that’s literally what I believe you are getting. When I walked in the bakery I smelled absolutely nothing, there was maybe 3 or 4 cupcakes in the display case. To be honest I don’t even think it’s a real business. I honestly believe they went to Kroger’s bought some cupcakes placed them in some individual plastic containers and that was it! Nothing tasted fresh nothing tasted homemade and the icing was nasty.

Kelly Bryant: Both customer service and the cake were both top notch! Angelo was great. I’m very happy with how the cake tasted and looked. Highly recommend and well priced.

Jennifer M: Atomic cake!!!

Haley Logan: I ordered a birthday cake for a consultant I’ve been working with for a few years to celebrate his 80th birthday. The cake was amazing. I went simple and just had happy 80th birthday written on it, and I t looked so beautiful I didn’t want to cut it. The cake was very moist and the icing was supreme. I will be buying all future cakes from this business.

Telesha Smith: LaCretia has really delicious options! I have been able to try many of her vegan and gluten-free options and they are mouth-watering. I highly recommend.

rosey brown: Decorated my red velvet birthday cake Beautifully

Greg Cobb: The adult male working on August 1, 2020 was rude and combative. After a mixup he came out to car to without merchandise to continue his abuse. Their products are very good but not worth the hassle created and caused by this worker.Never again!

Traci Gross: Lacretia makes the best treats and they accommodate all types of dietary needs. The paleo, sugar free, gluten free chocolate chip cookies are the best I have ever tasted! 5 stars for sure!
