If you are looking for a spot with immaculate vibes, incredible treats, and the cutest aesthetic in town, Bae's Bakery on Bardstown Road is an absolute must visit. I stopped in a couple of weekends ago and was immediately charmed. The shop is impeccably clean, and the gorgeous floral accent wall is an absolute showstopper and the perfect backdrop for photos. They were even hosting a fantastic pop up event by Botany Athletics when I visited, which added an extra layer of fun to the day. Combined with great music and wonderful energy throughout the space, the entire atmosphere feels warm, welcoming, and vibrant. Now, let us talk about the treats, because they are dangerous in the best way possible. You simply cannot walk in here and buy just one thing because resistance is futile, and you will walk out the door with one of their cute little pink boxes filled with goodies. The cinnamon bun is quite literally the best cinnamon bun I have ever had, being soft, gooey, perfectly baked, and packed with flavor. The red velvet cake is equally impressive, remaining rich, moist, and utterly delicious. Bae's Bakery is a total gem on Bardstown Road. Between the stellar treats, the gorgeous interior, and the lively community events, it is a place you will find yourself wanting to return to again and again. Highly recommend! read more

I took a cinnamon roll making class at Bae's and it was so much fun! Abigail is a great teacher- she is organized and realizes that it is the first time most people are making cinnamon rolls. The new location on Bardstown Road is much bigger and a great spot for a tasty breakfast and/or coffee with friends! read more

I ordered a cookie cake for my daughter's engagement party. With only a 3 day turnaround, Bae's created a beautiful, heart-shaped cottagecore masterpiece! I choose the Reese's flavor, and it's delicious. I love the denseness of the cookie, and the frosting is rich and creamy. Overall, a wonderful experience that we will repeat! read more

Cute decor and very cute seating areas. The store is kinda set back from the front of the sidewalk, so you have to walk back into the building. Lots of street parking though. There's lots of cakes and different items. I just got the pumpkin pie poptart. Very cute looking, the filling was definitely full of pumpkin and well flavored. The bottom was soggy and not very flaky, so it wasn't my favorite poptart option. Will have to be back to try something else. read more

Pros: 1. Many options to choose from, with a strong bias to sweet options 2. Their sweet is not over the top I'm getting cavities eating this sweet. This can be hard to find in this geographic region 3. Potions are good size 4. Service is attentive but gives you space to just look for a while 5. Bathroom was nice & clean 6. Prices are reasonable Con: Everything is served in single use plastic, even when we told them we were dining in. read more

I came across this company on tiktok and thought it was super cute! I preordered a cake for Valentine's Day and went to pick it up on my selected date. Their hours are listed that they opened at 10am that day but when I arrived there was a line outside because they were not opening until noon. The cake is cute but not exactly as pictured. The border is done nicely but the writing compared to what was advertised kind of sucks, especially for the $40 it cost. The cake itself was okay, more cake like than cookie though. The store was super cute, great vibes inside. read more

My all time favorite bakery in Louisville. They have the friendliest, most welcoming staff. They never judge me when I come in for two cookies and leave with 6 and a slice of cake. The cookies are SO good! My go to is their classic chocolate chip or a slice of cookie cake, they never disappoint. While the cookies are incredible, you haven't lived until you've had one of their cakes. Absolutely delectable, truly phenomenal, cannot recommend enough, 10/10, will never buy a cake anywhere else. Plus, Abigail is the sweetest person and truly cares about making everyone's experience at the bakery amazing. It showed in the cake decorating class I took there and with the responses to every email and interaction we had for my son's custom birthday cake. If you're ever looking for a place to get some incredible sweets, look no further than Bae's. It's a judgement free zone and the perfect place to hangout with a few friends or to get some solo work done. read more

Listen, I love a little sweet treat. But these treats are anything but "little." From cake slices to brownies to cookies and cinnamon rolls, the desserts and pastries are to die for. My favorite (and ongoing tradition) is to get a cinnamon roll on the weekends. Everyone is always so nice as well. The cafe is cute if you want to eat there, but it's also easy to take and go. And as someone who's had my birthday cake from there, the flavors hold up no matter what form you buy in. read more

This business has been in this location for about a year and a half, though the business itself has been around in other locations in the region for about six years. The attendant was so nice and helpful when I asked questions about the stuffed cookies. Each particular stuffed cookie is stuffed with its namesake''s ingredients. For example, a Reese's pieces cookie would have an entire Reesie cup inside of it. OMG! I just cannot believe this concept hasn't been perfected and brought to the public masses before now. Maybe it has but I just didn't know about it. The bakery smells like sweets and, of course, the delectables really taste nice too. I enjoyed my experience. I enjoyed the desserts and I shall return. read more

Went in thinking it would be a real bakery, like Plehn's down the road in St. Matthews. Looking for a vast selection of baked goods only to find very little. Bought two cake slices and they were average, and I thought the Bae's sticker was free but was not. Sorry. Rick Deutsch read more

I used to come to Sweet Surrender before it turned into Bae's Bakery. Given my sweet tooth I wanted to try this place and I am happy I did! Every time I visit Bae's the staff is very kind. I needed a custom birthday cookie cake and every time I called and spoke to someone about it, they were patient and informative. On the day of ordering it was simple and they told me how to keep it fresh. Two days in the fridge and I was worried it would be stale. However it was not! This cake was soft and moist on the day I needed it to be. The Reese's flavor was perfect and so was the icing. Definitely stop at Baes the next time you need a dessert! read more

I have already eaten their cookies from the events and festivals. Now I finally get to stop by after I run 3.1 miles. I felt that I should deserve a cookie from this place. The entrance was easy and I was greeted by the cashier who is very nice. I got two cookies and almond Joy latte. They were so good! I do enjoy this place! I will be back for more cookies! read more

This visit was to sample more terrific items from this sweet bakery. The owners' story is quintessential mom and pop, and I'm so happy to support this small business. I also got to use my new Loyalty Card and received a few punches on this visit. Winning! Great cookies that I was so proud to gift to myself and some special people. We were all very impressed with the quality and flavor. The takeout box was very nice -- sturdy and pretty. The shop is very welcoming and relaxed. Plenty of drink and food items to enjoy while you idle away some time. Looking forward to returning soon to sample other treats. read more

I am somebody who will choose cookie over cake every time, and this is no different. This baby is so thick and the icing is the perfect level of sweet that I don't want to scrape any off. The cookie is almost like 2 layers - top being a fully cooked cookie, the bottom being cookie dough. So like the perfect medium rare cookie. I asked for different shades of green for this custom, and it turned out so nicely! I will say that I didn't receive a pickup time, and when I went to pick it up they were closed for derby prep so I low key freaked out, but they were super kind and helpful and were expecting me! (Honestly maybe its my husbands fault for being born so close to derby tbh) 12/10 , will get cookies again read more

I can't express how easy and amazing it was to work with Bae's Bakery! I'm all the way in San Diego and was searching for a bakery to make a cake for my husband's nursing school graduation. The graduation was at the Kentucky convention center so I was trying to find somewhere near there. I reached out to the bakery via email and they made the process of ordering and paying so easy! When we made it in town and went to the bakery, customer service was great. The two guys working that day were kind and helpful. The bakery is so cute and they had a ton of delicious looking treats. The cake was absolutely beautiful and she made my vision come to life! We loved it. Everyone complimented the cake and said it was delicious! Thank you for helping us make my husband's day so special! read more

Oh my, these cookies! One is more than enough. These are filled and piled high, monstrosities of sweetness! And they were a hit when I brought six to a recent party. I recently got to check out the new Bae's on Frankfort Avenue. It's dangerous (aka wonderful) that this is now in my Clifton neighborhood. Dade, the clerk, was so helpful, telling me each flavor that was available that day. I opted for Oreo, Biscoff, Reese's Pieces peanut butter, red velvet, s'more and cinnamon roll. These are more expensive than normal cookies ($4 or $5 each), but then again ... HUGE! I liked the s'more and Biscoff cookies the best. Bae's is such an indulgence, which I'll be indulging again in soon! read more

This was my first time trying their coffee and I got the blackberry cobbler shaken espresso and WOW! Beyond tasty and at an amazing price!!! They have a fun summer menu with lots of fruit flavors. I also got a brownie and a s'mores cookie, the total for 3 items was around $16 which is honestly such an amazing price because these desserts are HEFTY! I've already raved about a soup I had from them but after also having coffee I am ready to rave again. Seriously, what can't they do? read more

Came on a Sunday late morning since my friend had a gift card of some sort, so she decided to share treats with us. We chose a few cookies: chocolate chip, Oreo, cinnamon, red velvet, s'mores, and biscoff. We also shared a cookie butter cake. Delicious! The cake was sweet but the cookies weren't as sweet but it was perfect! They are LARGE cookies though. You could eat one yourself but we all ate about a quarter of some of them. They do have water sitting out to drink and you can grab forks at the counter. It was one guy at the counter, but he was patient with us and really nice. Glad they're here! Sweet Surrender wasnt consistent with their cakes, so it's nice to see another dessert spot like this. read more

After a small parenting fail/scheduling error on my end, I pulled out of the Waterfront Botanical Gardens today desperate to earn a little grace from my 3-year-old. Driving up Frankfort Avenue, the EAT CAKE sign is hard to miss. Since there's very little that cake can't fix, I pulled over and parked. It was early and we had breakfast already, so we followed the recommendation for a cinnamon roll. It was warm, gooey, and not too sweet. Honestly, it would easily land in the top few cinnamon rolls I've ever had. I'm not typically an icing kind of gal, but this was icing had me licking my fingers. More importantly, it saved my toddler's morning mood. It was interesting to hear that they also provide classes for kids, something I think my son would LOVE. Admittedly, I didn't try too much of the menu today. What I had was exceptional and I look forward to returning and trying a little bit of everything. They offer cookies, scones, cake brownies, and unique specialty coffees. They even had soup and curry chicken salad! This place is adorable. The interior is charming and they have a front patio perfect for watching passersby. You can't beat the location. The service was friendly, efficient, and fast. I walked in with a grumpy monkey and left with a precious little princess. Priceless. read more

The custom cookie cake I ordered for Valentine's Day was beautiful, unfortunately, the texture of the cake was very dry and bland.

Bae's bakery is an old Louisville neighborhood bakery that specializes in delicious and massive cookies. They also offer scones, coffee and other treats. Being located on old Louisville they only have street parking and are take out only. You walk into a small but vibrant area that has some decor to the immediate right and glass case with the scones and Cookies to the left. My wife and I have made a few visits here. We are a big fan of the stuffed cookies. My personal favorites we have tried have been the cinnamon roll, the Reesie's pieces and the bourbon cookies. All of them have a soft fluffy exterior and a delicious and flavorful stuffed insides plus the delicious goodies piled on top the cookie. One cookie could easily fill up a whole meal. One very trip we make here the workers have been super nice and through and appear to take pride in their work and product. I imagine When something taste so good it's easy to be prideful for sure. Overall we love this little bakery, the wife and I like to buy a box of assorted stuffed cookies and scones and eat one or two for breakfast and then have a nice surprise after school snack waiting for the older girls when they get home. read more

If I could give Bae's 10 stars I would. Their cookies: PHENOMINAL Their cakes: SO GOOD Their puffs: AMAZING Their bakers and staff: THE BEST I have be getting Bae's cookies when they were just setting up a table at different places, at their first location in Old Lou, and now this storefront. I am always greeted with a smile and their baked goods are out of this world. I cannot wait till they bring back my favorite winter special, a monster sized peanut butter blossom. read more

I've been recommending everyone to Bae's Baekery after they made my birthday cake a few weeks ago!! Not only was the cake absolutely the most beautiful cake I've ever seen, it also tasted really delicious! I got the marble cake and I can't wait to try the cookie butter cake soon :) Although I am still obsessed with the one pictured. When picking up the cake I also got to see the excellent customer service everyone else was talking about. Everyone was super friendly and the vibes of the store are TOO CUTE! I absolutely adored the pink Christmas tree as well. Excited to go back to Bae's Baekery soon- I'm so glad I found them read more

After a scrolling through Bae's photos on Instagram I could not wait any longer to order something with that delicious chunky icing. I made an online order for the the 9 inch cookie cake on traditional chocolate chip. The process was self-explanitory, I referenced a few photos from their gallery to get the beautiful colors my partner loves so much. You'll get a conformation email to indicate your order is ready for pick up. Once I walked into the Baekery I was treated with a sense of excited and enthusiasm. I spoke with the majority of the squad in the back about my choice of wording on the top of the cookie cake (my partner just had surgery on her foot). We all laughed and I took that baddy (the cookie cake) home to surprise my Boo. We were blown away by the favor and fun the Baes created for us. Never again will I consume a cookie cake other than theirs! read more

Unfortunately I don't have a picture to share because it was so delicious that I dove right in My husband and I got one of the Reese cookies, it was more than enough for us to split. The inside is very cute and there was a cake decorating class going on! The location is perfect because we had dinner at Hill Top and then walked right in for dessert to take home. They're open later in the night, which is great, because I feel like so many bakeries close early in the evening. They had a variety of baked goods and also had coffee. The young man working was polite and very welcoming when we walked in. I can't wait to go back! read more

Came here right before close before heading out to Hillcrest to see Halloween decorations! The bakery was very cute and cozy. I ordered 3 cookies to share with my friends and husband. The guy at the register was very friendly and offered a few suggestions of his favorites. I ordered the Reese's cookie, a cookies and cream cookie and the s'mores cookie. All which were AMAZING. my personal favorite was the smores with the ooey marshmallow in the middle Will definitely be back here again, husband and I always go to Crumbl but this might be our new spot!! Wish I took pictures but the cookies were gone too fast read more

We planned on stopping at the record shop next door but they were closed so we stopped in to bae's bakery. I've meant to catch them uptown but I never caught them. Luckily we had time today. Simple cute and good variety. My ice coffee was just okay. (They don't specialize in coffee soI won't hold it against them). My husband got a cappuccino and surprisingly so good (6/10) We got the 6/$25. Overall experience (8/10) Great customer service!!!!!!!! read more

Ordered a cake for a gender reveal. It was absolutely moist & delicious! The blue icing in the middle was completely concealed in a flood of Whit icing, so there was no way you could get a peek before it was cut. They are expensive ($90), and worth every penny! read more

I was debating on wether or not I should write this review but I think it's important to share all experiences- even the negative ones. I ordered a birthday cake based on a photo of a cake they'd already done. We arranged a day and time for me to come pick it up from Logan Street Market. They were quite late to meet me. I felt that was disrespectful. The cake was around $70, if I'm remembering correctly? It looked beautiful. Not really the colors I'd asked for but it still looked nice. Fast forward to dinner later that night when we cut the cake. It was EXTREMELY dense and EXTREMELY dry. It was honestly the worst cake I've ever had and I cannot believe how much I paid for it. I couldn't even finish my slice. We threw the cake away. What a waste. I would've been better off going ANYWHERE but Bae's for my birthday cake. I don't know if the cake had been made several days in advance, but I really did not appreciate the poor quality. Please do better if you are going to charge so much for your work. read more

This bakery offered a mouthwatering selection of what were frankly preposterous goodies. I guess the things I got were cookies, if you can call something the size of a closed fist a cookie. The varieties I got were mostly infused with candy, and were so indulgent as to make it difficult for even a pastry addict to finish in one setting. Ordering 5 and getting the 6th free was fine by me, but at the end of the day I kind of bit off more than I could chew (even with an office to help me). They did have one or two vegan items, though it wasn't a focus. I would check the pictures before you go, and if they appeal to you, then go. read more

I saw a foodie post some cookies from them a awhile back and I have been wanting to try them ever since. Located in Old Louisville the parking is pretty slim as it is street parking. It's worth the walk for sure. The lobby area is quaint with a larger baking area in the back. There were maybe 7-8 different types of cookies to choose from but those cookies were massive! There were also scones, brownies and cinnamon rolls. The pastries were not ready yet. The cookie cost start at $5 and the rolls start at $6. I went with the basic cookie, biggie smallz and a cinnamon roll. I like to try the simple items first before trying different items that I don't normally choose to make sure I like it. As soon as I ce home I warm up the cinnamon roll and it was a melt in a mouth roll. So good! The staff was friendly and patient as I made my final decision. Will definitely go back. I want to try the brownies next! read more

The cookies are so fluffy and cakey! The inside of the shop is really cute too. The employees are also really kind.

Only one person in front of me, took 10 minutes for service only to find out they were out of the cinnamon rolls they heavily advertised. A little over an hour after opening and you're already sold out? So confused, but won't waste another trip here. read more

Came here for the first time on Father's Day and we LOVED it! Not only was it delicious, but I love that they will write literally whatever you ask them to. Some places won't do any rated M designs, so getting a "pull out game weak" cookie cake for Father's Day was perfect. The parking situation was not my favorite because it's basically just hope you can find a spot to parallel park in on the side of the road. Hopefully someday they are able to open another location with a parking lot. But I would deal with the parking again for this place And not only did we love the cookie cakes and cookies we got, but the staff was SO friendly and even helped me out to my car since I had so much to carry, including my baby in her car seat. It was a wonderful first experience! read more
