All the baked goods we've tried were excellent. Their coffee was really good too. Parking isn't that good. Not much they can do about that.

**AMAZING BREADS AND BUNS IN BOYLAN HEIGHTS** Thanks to my friend, Carly, for introducing me to this excellent bakery! PARKING ======== Limited spots, but patience is key. BREADS ======= NORDIC RYE My German husband's favorite bread, and it's so legit here. Firm, balanced, and yet hearty, full-flavored. RATING: 5/5 LEVAIN Also another household favorite. I would eat this with cheeses at home for snacks. RATING: 5/5 OTHER ====== MORNING BUN This is insanely good. A touch of sweetness with fluffy texture. Fantastic coffee pairing. RATING: 5/5 I tried their croissants and I give it a solid 4/5. I love buttery and flaky Parisian style, and theirs are not quite there yet. I also tried their coffees and since we have an Italian espresso machine at home, it's not easy to beat. A good 4/5 for their cappuccino. OVERALL ======== I used to have a favorite bakery in Mordecai, but it has been overthrown by Boulted. Will go here for the breads and buns. RECOMMEND. read more

Boulted Bread - Cappuccino and morning buns, perfect combo. - Bakeries Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Met my sweet friend for coffee and ended in a wonderful conversation with strangers. This was my first time at the new location, conveniently located in the Boylan neighborhood, the parking is precarious with tight parking on a gravel lot but very close by. My friend suggested lattes and croissants and both were very delicious. There weren't a ton of tables so we waited a bit and noticed others waiting so we ended up sharing a table which was quite wonderful meeting new friends. Such a great community spot for coffee and maybe a place to work remotely. read more

Boulted Bread - Bakeries Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Finally decided to check this place out after seeing all the hype! Came in on a Wednesday morning at 9:30 and it was super busy. There's a gravel/rock parking lot and street parking. I imagine it's really hard to find parking on the weekend, so if you have parking anxiety- be warned. I got the morning bun and an iced coffee, which were just okay. The morning bun was on the dry side and a little burned on top. I also took a ciabatta loaf home, which I've enjoyed. It has a crusty outside, and soft chewy inside. The place has aesthetic vibes and the staff were super friendly, I can see the appeal. I will likely return and try different items. read more

It is an honor and a privilege to have Boulted Bread within walking distance of what I call home. Where most other bakeries have sweets, Boulted Bread excels in savory pastries and loafs. Elevating all their products is their own freshly milled flower, which truly elevates all breads. read more

As a savory pastry lover - they have a beet, pistachio, honey, and hummus danish that is to-die-for. Would return just for that! The indoor aesthetic is also unique, hip, and eclectic. read more

Good pastry abit too baked but the flavor and taste good. Came early in the AM before opening and the line was formed in fronts. Define a good stop if you are in town and want to see a nice bakery and try their breads read more

Amazing coffee and croissant The order: blue berry jam croissant & iced coffee The good: -very fast to grab and go -lines are quick -croissant is very flaky & jam is excellent The bad: -It's not exactly walkable from downtown -lines can extend -inside is very warm and AC is lacking -lots of space for seating inside read more

After a nine-year run on South Street in downtown Raleigh, N.C. award-winning Boulted Bread has moved into a larger warehouse space just around the corner at 328 Dupont Circle in the Boylan Heights neighborhood. They open today, May 19. I got a chance to visit earlier this week, and it is absolutely gorgeous - with an open, airy feel with plenty of indoor seating to take in all their yumminess! Their opening hours for the first few weeks will be Wednesday through Friday from 7-2 and Saturday and Sunday from 8-2. Congrats to owners Josh Bellamy and Sam Kirkpatrick and their entire crew! Best to follow along on Instagram here. read more

My husband and I stopped by Boulted Bread on our way out of Raleigh. We were unsure of the place as it was behind a graffitied building and a neglected space, but it was so cute inside! It looks like everything is locally grown/made. My husband ordered a ham/cheese croissant with a mocha latte & I had a strawberry jam danish with an orange cream iced coffee. The food and drinks were immaculate- the quality of the food is definitely reflected in the price. I wish we had a Boulted Bread in Arizona because it was that good! The staff was friendly and offered several recommendations when I asked about their coffee & pastry selection. I highly recommend this place!! read more

Boulted Bread - Ham & Cheese Croissant with a Hot Mocha Latte - Bakeries Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I've been to Boulted Bread twice now. Both times were excellent. I had the Blueberry Bread Pudding the first time and it was delicious. Today I tried the Everything Croissant, which has a cream cheese filling. The croissant was flaky, buttery, soft and chewy. There was also a perfect amount of the cream cheese filling to balance the saltiness of the croissant toppings. You would be hard pressed to find better croissants. And as a bonus, their black coffee is very well made. There is limited seating inside which is somewhat cramped, but that won't deter me from returning. I will be back many times. read more

Boulted Bread - Everything Croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

This place has such a good selection of croissants, breads, and pastries. I tried the raspberry pastry which had a little raspberry in the center of dough like a croissant. The plain croissant was also very good and big. I also got an iced mocha which was tasty. The line was out the door because the inside isn't that big. There is also limited seating, but my husband and I were able to get a table. Make sure to come hungry! read more

After coming here for the first time, I'm certain this is going to become a regular spot for me! Although somewhat tucked away with slightly chaotic parking, the actual space itself is very aesthetic with plenty of seating. The staff were friendly, and as someone with a nut allergy, I was very pleasantly surprised when they said they were a nut-FREE facility. The Ham & Cheese croissant and chocolate chip cookie I ordered were well priced and very delicious. The cookie had a great texture and the croissant was prettily crispy and flaky. This place is a win-win for me! I'll be back to try other options, with the peace of mind that everything is nut free! read more

Update: went back two days in a row. Saturday morning there will be a short line. Best flaky croissant I've ever had! Love this place. Great neighborhood spot! I got a load of seeded bread, ham and cheese croissant, morning bun and an iced coffee. Prices were really reasonable for the quality! read more

Had been wanting to try Boulted Bread for a while. On this beautiful Saturday afternoon we were leaving an event at the Convention Center and decided to walk to Boulted and see what was up. It was close to 3 PM and I was seriously afraid they may be closed or sold out. It was quite a trek but so worth it !! We got the last 2 morning buns. I know one was for sure a morning bun. The other one may have been something slightly different. In either case, they were delicious !! The flaky crust reminded me of a croissant. I'm kinda glad we don't live closer. I would probably be 10 lbs heavier. Next time we will come earlier when there is a bigger assortment of yummy treats. The pics may not look that appetizing but they WERE !!!! Give them a try - you will be glad you did. read more

Get in here and carbo load! All kinds of treats, we tried the sweet potato bread, the plain croissants, and a loaf of bread. Everything was as good as the reviews said it was! Delicious!! read more

Tried the hazelnut coffee. It was okay, but the hazelnut flavor was too artificial. The cafe has a nice atmosphere. Prices are reasonable. read more

Fantastic coffee, delicious bread and pastries, and a wonderful group of people serving you! Get there early on the weekends and don't let the line bother you, it moves fast. read more

To all the Baker's at Boulted Bread - PERFECTION! You have paid your dues well and your beautiful breads and pastries tell the story. Rye is a very difficult flour to deal with in a 100% loaf. It has no gluten and is quite unruly to work and shape. Boulted would make the German's stand at attention. The service here is wonderful and the management cares. Thank you for being in Raleigh. Thank you, very much. read more

Awesome bread. Really enjoyed the levain. Picked up some fresh stone ground whole wheat and the person behind the counter shared some ripe starter that is working much better than mine. Thank you! read more

Don't let the line intimidate you, it moves very quickly! We came at peak breakfast hour on a Sunday morning and even though the line was out the door, it only took us about 15-20 minutes to get in to order. I'm a savory breakfast and croissant fan so I went for the Everything croissant, French Onion croissant and the Ham and Cheese. The employees are also incredibly friendly! Needless to say, everything was FANTASTIC. In my opinion, they make the best croissants in the Triangle. Fluffy, airy, buttery, flaky, all the good things. The Everything was sensational, stuffed with an herb cream cheese mixture that is to die for. The ham and cheese is a classic and was my favorite, I wish I had gotten another. The french onion was umami goodness. One of my new favorite bakeries in the area and I'm happy to make the 30+ minute drive from Durham every time. read more

Boulted Bread - everything croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

An amazing bakery that I want to already go back to as I write this review. So much bread, so many delicious things to choose from! I've never been to their old location but this new location was nice and big and you're able to easily view all of their products and what they've made for that day. There are plenty of employees, so the line moved fairly quick. The croissants were some of the best I've had as they were perfectly flaky and had a great buttery taste. The options are pretty much endless but I love that they are unique, I can't wait to go back and try more! read more

Long line but great pastries and coffee! Morning bun is fantastic and the malted brown sugar latte is awesome

This place was bustling with customers when we arrived, which speaks volumes about their service and products! We did receive great service while there and would like to go back and try the pastries, as they looked amazing. We had the seasonal blueberry basil iced latte, likely would not order again, but would consider going back for a different coffee drink and pastry! read more

I haven't gotten to try their pastries or coffee BUT their bread is insane!!!! and it's so cute inside

Stopped here while I was in North Carolina. They had recently just moved so it was still new. The place was large with a majority the space of the store used for the equipment. Not a bad thing, it's just the style of the place. I pick up some pastries which I didn't remember what they were but they were recommended by the worker. She was super nice and helpful with explaining what everything was and which was the most popular. The parking was a little bit of a pain because of all the construction going on, but overall it was a good experience. I'll have to check it out again when I'm in town. read more

Coffee was above average but pastry(s) and bread were exceptional- While visiting tried a number of pastries, all were to die for! Highly recommend read more

Outstanding baked goods. Great vibe. Just those two sentences are all you need. Go early. read more

Parking lot is small next to the bakery. Picked up a loaf of bread and Apricot Croissant this day. Everything smelled delicious and so hard not to walk away with more. Plus, we had plans to meet someone for coffee, so we didn't try any. No bathroom, so if you are on the road, out of luck. It is small and a place to pick up your food and go eat in your car. But what you get! 5 stars!!!! read more

Boulted Bread - Apricot Croissant - heaven/flakiness! - Bakeries Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Line moves quickly. Lots to choose from in the glass case. There's not a bakery near where I live so when I go out of town, I seek one out. I got the morning bun. This is a laminated, yeast pastry, sprinkled with sugar. The top edge is crispy and sweet, like a sweet crackling. Under that is the soft, buttery, almost ephemeral layers of sweet pastry. It can't be gulped. You have to take your time pulling it apart so you can enjoy all its many layers. Some said it was dry but I didn't think so at all. People who live near Boulted Bread are so lucky. read more

A real bakery!! The weekend lines can be long but the rewards will be great! I've loved everything I've tried but if I had to pick a favorite their cinnamon rolls would be #1! read more

Cute little spot. But make sure you head out there early, in order to score the different fresh and warm bread options. Coffee Options: Drip Coffee & Iced Coffee. I would loved it if they had espresso options to pair with their delicious pastry options. Their pastries and bread are delicious. We tried: -The Morning Bun: Delicious with hints of Orange Zest -Chocolate & Raspberry filled Pull apart Croissant: my favorite Pastry from this location so far. -Baguette: It was a bit burnt. But no biggie, it was still delicious! Can't wait to try more! read more

The pastries here are amazing! You can't go wrong with any of them. The morning bun is great and I really enjoyed a peach pastry. The new space they're in is much larger with room to dine-in. Highly recommend this spot! read more

My expectations might have been too high and/or I went too late in the day for fresh bakeries. The plain croissants were good looking but tasteless. I had a cinnamon bun. They gigantic, very dry, and were mostly tasting sugar. The coffee was not very strong. It feels more like a warehouse and the cafe is very small. I was in a rush and trusted the reviews. I was just not impressed. read more

well call me a "peasant" , this place is an absolute heaven of warmth and delicious baked goods ! the staff has always been so friendly! the ambiance like their menu is a hub of warmth and good vibes! From savory to sweet each a decadent treat! the coffee pairs perfectly well! I've tried the chocolate chip cookie ; perfection , The morning bun was delightful and just the right amount of sweetness with a flakey finish! And the Brownie ( not there all the time so I had to try it immediately) , was so creamy and delicious! read more
