Cheddar potato
Naimah S.

Rating Buttermilk Bakery at a 2.5 stars, though I previously would have rated it 4.5. This used to be a hidden gem many years ago during my nearly 20 years of living in Orlando and because of how amazing they are/can be, everyone has learned of them, rightfully so! I'm honestly heartbroken to write this review. What used to be my favorite bakery in the Orlando/WP area fell very short during my recent visit. I'm not sure what happened, but I'm hoping it was just a fluke because I'd love to return and have the experience I used to! The variety of their sweet and savory pastries is incredible and it's hard not to get excited looking at the display. I wanted to order one of everything. I went with my husband and our friends, and we all agreed the pastries would absolutely have been stellar if a warm-up option were available. Unfortunately, everything we had was cold and tasted stale :( this left us very disappointed. I asked a staff member if it was possible to warm up the cheddar potato pastry, but was told, "No, not right now. Sorry." I wasn't sure if warming items isn't offered at all or if their equipment wasn't working during the time of our visit. The line can be long but it moves quickly. Staff members are friendly, and there's a convenient water and utensils station. I do think it might help to offer a microwave or toaster for self-service since staff understandably can be busy. I love the outdoor deck! It's really nice, especially during a beautiful day with lovely weather. I appreciate that they have high chairs. My friends and I are all parents now, and those little conveniences truly matter. If I had one main suggestion, it would be to offer a way to warm the pastries. I truly think that small change would make a big difference and have people (like us) eager to come back.

The place was packed. Cute little bakery with an array of yummy goodness. Really good venue to pick up weekend breakfast

Lemon Raspberry Tart

I look forward to my trips to Central Florida a few times a year to indulge in all things Buttermilk Bakery makes. The tarts I've had are always luscious & superb with so much flavor. The various croissants are crispy & flaky on the outside and flavorful with the perfect balance of flavor from various ingredients. My favorite croissant I've ever had is the Matcha croissant. Hopefully one day, they will make it again.

Made a donut run this morning! As always the service and vibe here is second to none. What blew me away this morning was... the Vanilla Sprinkle Brioche Donut... I feel so basic. 10/10, only a "Hot Donuts Now" (my favorite) sign could even slow me down on my way there!

Banana muffin, morning roll, lemon poppyseed muffin, guava cheesecake pop tart, and lemon lavender pop tart
Madison L.

This is my favorite local bakery! We stopped by to get a box of goodies for the office and loved the whole experience. The shop is cute and charming. The staff are welcoming and fast. The pastries are gorgeous and so fresh. We picked out several items: the guava cheesecake pop tart, lemon lavender pop tart, cinnamon morning roll, lemon poppyseed muffin, and the banana muffin. The lemon poppyseed muffin is my all time favorite item. Our office all loved the lemon lavender pop tart. All were amazing. Be sure to stop by!

Bacon cheddar pull apart and chocolate banana muffin
Lindsey M.

Go-to for breakfast on-the-go. We were heading to the beach and needed quick homemade gourmet breakfast treats. We ordered the sugar donut, churro twist, the chocolate banana muffin and ham and cheese pull apart. I don't recommend the bacon/ cheddar pull apart, it was too hard for my style. But everything else was great. Service was amazing. No rush to take your order. It is a tight squeeze to get in line to give your order.

Caramelized onion garlic braid croissant
Simran B.

We visited buttermilk bakery on a Saturday morning after going to see the manatees at blue springs. We've been looking for a good bakery or breakfast spot to hit after the springs for a while, and I think we found it. I got the caramelized onion garlic braid croissant. The texture of it was soft and flaky, and it was honestly delicious. It had a solid garlic flavor and the pepitas on top were really nice too, but I found that they could've gone heavier on the onion. This is where I docked a star because I'm a big proponent to committing to the flavor profile. My companion got the cinnamon roll bread pudding croissant, and this thing was magical. The taste and texture were fantastic and the icing was sooooo good. I can't say it was really giving bread pudding, but it was still delicious. The iced tea and coffee we got were also delicious. The staff there were also super friendly and quick, and they even threw in a few donut holes since it was our first time! I'm excited to go back here and try more of their stuff.

Baked goods of the day
Teddy D.

Buttermilk Bakery in Winter Park is an absolute gem. Everything they make is packed with flavor and clearly crafted with care--you can taste the quality in every bite. The galettes are a standout for me; perfectly balanced, buttery, and impossible to get tired of. And the donuts? Unreal. Soft, flavorful, and just the right amount of indulgent. This is one of those places that never disappoints and keeps you coming back. A must-visit if you love great baking done right. The bakery itself feels like a cozy home. Most of the functional space is prioritized for the baking operations, so it's cool to see where the magic happens. You're always greeted with a smile after you've perused the day's offerings. Pro tip - order ahead online to make sure you get exactly what you want!

I haven't had Buttermilk in ages, literal years, and recently stopped when they hosted a local coffee pop up. The line was long but moved quickly and the service was friendly. Myself and a friend split several items, both sweet and savory. The items all looked picture perfect but they were just okay, in my opinion. The textures were good but the items lacked flavor. My favorite item was the focaccia, which was very tasty. I'll definitely give it another whirl, but I was a bit disappointed.

Food: I feel that when you get there early, the food is good but toward the end, it can be cold. If you like it cold, you are good. I like mine toasted. It just makes it taste fresh. I will say that they have a good danishes. Service: it's a pick and pay. I asked if my croissant could be toasted but they said no. It would be nice if they would toast it for you. Ambiance: it's a cute little place with no indoor seating, but you can have a spot outside that is covered.

Monkey bread, chocolate croissants, coffee cake croissants
Edwin S.

Cute, little walk in bakery! They have no indoor seating but they have a few outdoor tables to relax and enjoy your treat at. The staff is awesome and efficient! Loved them! And the food...... OMG! It was so very, very good! We only did sweet this time but all the savory items looked amazing as well Ordered the cinnamon roll croissants with cream cheese icing, monkey bread, chocolate croissants and coffee cake croissants. Everyone of them was out of this world! Absolute sugar heaven! There are not enough adjectives to do these baked items justice...

Swarnendu S.

I'm from Jacksonville and stumbled on Buttermilk Bakery while going down a Reddit rabbit hole looking for "the best dough in Florida" -- and wow, Reddit actually came through for once! This place is small but mighty -- super organized, cute outdoor seating, and the smell alone could make you spend your whole paycheck. When I showed up, it was packed, which pretty much confirmed I was in the right spot. I tried a few things (because self-control is overrated), and every single one was incredible. Flaky, buttery, perfectly baked -- honestly, they could teach a masterclass in how to make carbs magical. If you're anywhere near Winter Park, do yourself a favor and swing by. Just be ready to fall in love with everything in the display case.

Seasonal Brioche doughnut, cookie butter, croissant,  Sprinkle brioche, seasonal cake doughnut
Erin K.

This is the bakery is what you've been looking for. Flaky tender, buttery, croissants. Incredible specialty flavors, decadent cake donuts and pastries. The team is always helpful and ready to answer questions about their selection that day. Be prepared they sell out of things quickly and once they are gone they are gone for the day. And doughnuts are weekends only. But that's how you know you're getting quality, fresh baking. So go early if you can. The shop front is small, and cute, so no indoor seating but they have a lovely porch outside. And when the weather is nice it's a perfect place to eat your pastry and relax for a bit. If you're looking for a recommendation on what to get I suggest the Kouign-amann (queen), absolutely delicious it's buttery, sweet and oh so flaky. And my savory go to's are the Garlic Braid, is so garlicky and rich, or Mortadella Hot Honey snail, this is a must try!

Ask the Community - Buttermilk Bakery

Do they sell a loaf of sourdough bread?

Not anymore! They are focusing on strictly pastries now

Did you/they do some of safety precautions during the pandemic?

Yes. Currently they're only doing pickup orders. Their menu goes live at 7am on their website. They bring the order out to you. The patio is still open for social distancing if you want to eat there

Does anyone know if you have to order ahead for pickup or can you order there?

You have to order via their online ordering site and then they do curbside pickup. They do have a few tables out front and on the side (a few, really two out front and maybe 4-5 small tables on the side patio) but you cannot go inside to order… Read more

They offer a wide variety of unique donuts that all looked really tempting. The prices are a bit on the higher side, even for specialty donuts, but the quality definitely shows. I tried the cinnamon crunch donut, and it was excellent, perfectly flavored, super moist and soft with a slight cakey texture. You can tell everything is made fresh. I'll definitely be back to try some of their drinks next time.

It's a clean, minimalist space that is well lit with natural lighting and seems to be a chill place to sit and do work. When I came around 1-2 PM, they seemed to still have a good number of their donuts still in stock. (Their sign on the door notes they are open per their hours, unless they sell out of everything sooner.) My dad ordered a coffee to go and I ordered a matcha latte without sweetener and almond milk, plus a honey and sea salt cragel to go. Service was quick. Matcha latte was good. I liked the cragel - it had a good texture and wasn't too sweet. My dad wasn't super fond of his coffee, but it was okay. (He said it wasn't the worst, but it wasn't the best coffee he's ever had.) If there isn't an event going on, they have their own parking lot. Otherwise, you are allowed to park in the school lot if school is not in session. (Or street parking if you can find some.)

We wandered just off the main downtown strip and stumbled into this little gem. Immediate warm welcome, which I always appreciate, especially when I'm in a post-meal haze. Then I saw the pastry case... and wow. It was one of those moments where you genuinely consider making poor financial and dietary decisions just to try everything. The croissants alone? Massive. I'm talking oversized, beautifully layered, stuffed with different fillings and topped like they're competing for a prize. A younger, more reckless version of me would've ordered at least three without hesitation. My only "complaint" (if you can call it that) is that everything is so big. I wish they had mini versions--like a tasting lineup--because I wanted to try everything but also didn't want to commit to a full-size pastry I knew I couldn't finish. Shoutout to the people who can, though. I respect you. I kept it simple with a cappuccino plus an extra shot (non-negotiable at that point), and it was exactly what I needed. Bonus points for the service--they actually brought it out to the table, which felt like a small but appreciated touch. They've got both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can vibe however you're feeling. Overall, a perfect little stop to recharge and pretend you didn't just eat your body weight in carbs.

Whether in the morning or right before closing, the pastries are equally fresh and delicious. (I didn't get a chance to try the cakes, but they were all beautifully decorated.) I bought croissants right before closing to have for breakfast on my flight the next day -- and I was so glad I did, because they were absolutely fantastic!

This is one of the most friendly and welcoming businesses in central Florida, and I absolutely adore them for it. This place is counter order with full table service. I believe before the pandemic that you self served drinks, but the full service change has definitely been for the better. They've got a rotating list of specials that you can see on their instagram too. This place always delivers quality food. Their fried chicken is excellent, I've never seen an overcooked egg, their grits are amazing, their gravies are perfect, their biscuits are to die for, and their Mac n cheese is creamy delicious goodness. I haven't tried their lunch menu myself because I can't bring myself to not order breakfast. Between the Minnie pearl, three little pigs, seventh trimester, their specials, and even their sausage sandwich, nothing on a lunch menu could ever tempt me away. And don't even get me started on their bakery! Their bakery is a separate counter with cakes, cookies, handpies, brownies, and whoopie pies. Their selection is rotating and I've genuinely never been disappointed. Usually I have to take their stuff to go because I'm so full from breakfast, and it's usually pretty rich. This place is an Orlando staple and I hope they're open and successful for as long as they wish to be. I know I'll be back as long as they're still cooking.
