    Gingerbread man!
    Chrissy A.

    Still as amazing as always! Whenever people are asking for recommendations on things to do while visiting Asheboro, Central Bakery is always my first suggestion.

    M&m sandwich cookie, small chocolate chip sandwich cookie, Christmas tree cookie
    Carol W.

    THESE. ARE. MY. PEOPLE. They had icing pops. Icing. Pops. ICING. JUST ICING. In a push up pop. Why bother with the extraneous stuff when you can go straight for the goods? Well because the other stuff looked really good too. Got a couple of snowballs (tastes like childhood to me!), couple of sand dabs, small chocolate chip sandwich cookies, an m&m sandwich cookie and a Christmas tree cookie, the last 2 being for my kiddo so I can't speak to those other than to say they're very pretty. Of the cookies, the snowballs were my fave but all were good. I saw another review that talked about the cakes and that they could pick out the bakery's cakes by tasting the icing. To that I say, the icing tastes like what the Sweet Shoppe in High Point uses - and that's not a bad comparison at all! The prices were very reasonable as well. The most expensive thing was the icing pop at $3 (and well worth it!!). Got out for under $12 with everything. It sure is a good thing this bakery is 30 minutes away from home and not right down the street...but it will be a new go to when visiting Asheboro! "Hey honey, don't we need to go to Asheboro for something??"

    Pineapple cookies, peanut butter chocolate cookie, sanddabs, cheese bites, pecan crisp, cherry turnover, chocolate cream horn

    There were a couple of standout items at this Asheboro bakery. The cheese bites simply melt in your mouth. They are light in texture, similar to cheese straws, but they practically dissolve on your tongue. They've got a great sharp flavor and highly addicting. If you're thinking of getting a dozen, get more! You'll eat 12 by yourself. The other star of the show was the Cinnamon Crisp which has flaky layers that are softer in the middle. Goes great with a cup of coffee. We got a bunch of other stuff, but these two are worth making a trip to get.

    Little, simple bakery in downtown Asheboro. We stopped in here for some sweet treats after having lunch; this is one of the very few bakeries in this area. We decided on chocolate chunk, chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin and white chocolate macadamia nut cookies as well as an M&M cookie on a stick and a chocolate sundae treat. I loved the oatmeal raisin cookie; the raisins were plump & juicy and the brown sugar & cinnamon flavor was just perfect. The chocolate chunk cookie was not a favorite from two people in our party but everything else was good. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back considering I don't live near this particular area but it was a good experience. Friendly service and average pricing. Thank you!

    Central Bakery makes the BEST cakes and cookie cakes! We order ALOT of cakes every year because we have alot of birthdays!! The cakes are always so moist, delicious and look amazing! We have tried other places but we would always end up coming back to Central Bakery. The freshness of the cake and the staff just make the business the best bakery in Asheboro! We will be forever customers!

The iced coffees were the greatest "pick me up" in the morning! Do not hesitate. This place is your go to for morning coffees and quick bites. The service was great as well! Very helpful in helping us decide.

    Oh what an amazing place. We waited for a long time at 'The Table' and then found this as a…read moresubstitute and thank god we did. Here is the summary of my experience here: 1) Ambiance 5/5: Cheerful contemporary inviting vibe. The seating is limited but I believe this is mostly a to-go coffee place. There is a couch and about 4-5 2-seater tables 2) Service 5/5 - The service was delightful. I had few questions about the bagels being vegan and they patiently heard and found out about it. Good news - Most of the bagels are vegan :). The girl in the front taking orders was very patient and helpful 3) Food 6/5: I am neither a fan of bagels not do I like coffee but I got them both. Here is the review: a) Iced Vanilla Latte - I did not want to have it but when I took a sip from my wife's cup, I was forced to get myself one too coz it was really good. b) Blueberry Bagel with cream cheese - This was another hit. Great bagel and cream-cheese. FYI - I am not a bagel connoisseur so I might be wrong but I loved the taste. 4) Value for Money 5/5 - Totally worth it in my opinion. If I am ever back in town or anyone is tired of waiting in line for the Table, ditch it and instead come here The Good: 1) Ambiance 2) Service 3) Iced vanilla latte 4) Bagels (they are mostly vegan) Not so Good: 1) They dont have sandwiches. 2) You need to toast your own bagel

    (4.5 stars) The new…read moreGreensboro outpost of a Ramseur bakery, Rocca's boasts an impressive selection of Italian and French pastries, friendly staff, and prices that aren't as high as you would expect. I stopped by after they had been open for about two weeks and was impressed by the sheer number of offerings: breads, cookies, cupcakes, pastries, cheesecakes, quiches, coffee, tea, and more. The employee on duty was patient and helpfully explained a few baked goods I hadn't encountered before (Kouign-amann will have to happen during a future visit). I ultimately settled on a peanut butter-banana coffee cake and a chocolate croissant. The croissant was buttery but dense rather than light and flaky. That density extended to the coffee cake as well, where it was more welcome. The peanut butter-banana combo made for a winning pair, and the topping was tasty as well. Given the pricing, service, availability (open every day except Sunday), and more, Rocca's is a must for anyone in Greensboro with a sweet tooth.

I opted to grab a variety to include a cream pie, a pecan bar, a death by chocolate brownie, and a lemon bar. Every single pastry was delicious! I'm a self proclaimed chocoholic, so I was surprised to find my favorites ended up being the pecan bar and the lemon bar. Don't get me wrong the brownie was amazing too! I love that Rocca's is not only a bakery, but they are also a coffee shop that sells ice cream. On Saturdays they sell freshly baked bread too! I can't wait to come back to grab some of their bread this weekend and of course more pastries! Highly recommend this new bakery.
