Rainbow gingerbread man.
Rachel Leigh B.

When you walk in you are instantly greeted with warm smells and faces. It's small but the giant love and investment of the ginger man behind the counter makes it feel like you were just transported to another world full of sweets and cakes. It's truly a magical bakery where the cupcake flavors change monthly. These unique creations are inspired by the seasons and holidays but also by the love that only possible by someone that truly loves to bake.

When you walk in, the aroma and atmosphere are as welcoming as the bakers themselves. It feels like your taste buds are about to take a joyful ride down gingerbread lane. I have to applaud them for offering gingerbread men any time they're open. That's a year-round win. Their seasonal options aren't a sea of sameness but a fortress of creativity. Honestly, the Hallmark Channel should visit this bakery. There's a little bit of magic in every bite. From cookies and cupcakes to tarts and cookie sandwiches, everything is both innovative and perfectly on trend. The magic truly shines through in their spirit of service.

Cute little shop with a nice variety of choices. I picked a beautiful cupcake and a big chocolate chip cookie. To be honest, once I got it home I had no idea what kind of cupcake I had. The flavor wasn't identifiable at all. Pretty disappointing. That chocolate chip cookie was great though. Big chunks of chocolate, good size, perfect cookie. I will have to try a different cupcake next time.

Hey Family! I love discovering places, based solely on a recommendation. Coincidentally, I was doing a Yelp event nearby and I was making conversation when the bartender suggested that I come here. I haven't tried many vegan desserts because I find that something is always missing, it's lacking flavor, or not sweet enough. I can CONFIDENTLY say that, The Ginger Bread Man Bakery is absolutely amazing and had none of those problems. I dare say that these vegan desserts actually tasted better than some of my other favorite bakeries. I love that this gives me another reason to come to Winston. It's really cute and cozy in the inside. However, it is small but there is some seating. The person at the counter was super helpful and very friendly. She said that of course I couldn't go wrong with getting the classic gingerbread which was delicious. I was pleasantly surprised at how moist it was. There were also a variety of cupcakes where they do rotate them out pretty often. I opted for the blueberry Chai cupcake. I enjoyed the frosting and it had like a blueberry filling on top as well. And lastly I tried the blueberry Cookie Butter Mini pie. That one was very addicting. I tried my best not to eat the whole thing. Since it was warm outside and I had to drive back to Greensboro, I loved that the mini pies where refrigerated and the person at the counter, actually wrapped it up for me so it could stay cool on the ride home. I will definitely come back to try more items and I can add this place in rotation with my favorite bakeries. If you are in the area, do check this place out. You won't be disappointed.

Scuse me, Sweets overload. The cookie sandwiches are the absolute best. The icing is top tier. You can get a little something of everything with poptarts, cookie sandwiches, cookies, cupcakes, gingerbread man... you get it? This is a must stop bakery for all things sweet treats. And you won't even believe that it's all vegan!

Well it's official, we can add Ginger Bread Man Bakery to my list of top bakeries in the triad. A friend took me by here because she knows me and sugar go hand in hand. I got a brown sugar poptart and a berry poptart along with a cookie butter cinnamon roll. The poptarts had the perfect ratio of pastry to filling and I swear the cinnamon roll was at least 2 lbs. This was enough to have me coming back less than a week later to try a cupcake and two cookie sandwiches (birthday cake and ginger bread). Everything again was delicious and the ginger bread cookie sandwich is top three of all time and a best bite of 2024. The space inside is super cute and the staff/owner are gems. Patient, kind, and whipping up some of the best desserts Winston Salem has to offer

Cookies and cream sandwich
Emily P.

This cookie sandwich was incredible!!!! The icing in the middle - I mean, come on! It's stunning. The owner is so friendly and welcoming. He gave us a rundown of the seasonal flavor rotation and what we can expect from the baked goods. We will definitely be coming back! I'm already thinking about what cupcake flavor to get the next time

This place feels like home with its incredible vibes and friendly staff! The vibrant colors, lush plants, and disco ball planters create a welcoming atmosphere. The aroma of freshly baked goods is irresistible! We tried the Chocolate Gingerbread Cupcake and Chai Espresso Cupcake--both were delicious and beautifully presented.

Lemon cupcake
Sharon R.

Man, you got to check this place out! I had a lemon cupcake & the flavor was fantastic. It was just dense enough so it didn't fall apart so I could enjoy every bite. The delicate lemon flavor really compliments the lemon curd on top. They had a strawberry lemon version I'll try next time. Hubby had the cinnamon roll & it was the best one I've tasted in a long time. How they had a little crunch in something so creamy I can't tell you but it was yummy.

My Ginger Bread Man Sandwich - awesome!
Fred B.

When a number of Yelp Elite big hitters praise a new spot, best thing to do, is find out what the noise is about. I'm in this area frequently because some of my favorite local restaurants are close by - PB's, Grecian Corner, and New Sichuan, with Mr BBQ a bit further away! I came for the Ginger Bread Man Sandwich filled with butter cream. It was simply excellent - slightly peppery from the Ginger, but not the least over done. This is the best Ginger Bread I've tasted. I'm not the biggest cupcake fan, I find them a bit too sweet, but I'll be back to try the Carrot Cake Cupcake - it looked awesome!

I had the pleasure of tasting the pumpkin espresso cupcake today. it was so unique & good. The icing is just delicious! What a great combination. The staff was extremely friendly & the bakery is small but cozy. However, the parking SUCKS!! unless there is parking in the back of the building that I didn't see ‍

Lemon Gingerbread and Cookies & Cream
Mary W.

Cozy shop, delectable cupcakes, and super friendly owners. I stopped in for a quick trip and grabbed a Lemon Gingerbread cupcake and a Cookies and Cream cupcake. All of the flavors were appealing and it was a tough choice! The owner was hilarious and helpful when making such a life-altering decision. The cupcakes were so (sorry) moist and each bite was filled with deliciousness. I also love that it's next door to a coffee shop so you get the best of both worlds. There's parking in the lot to the left of the bakery. You gotta check these guys out! They definitely know what they're doing!

Gingerbread cupcake!
Erik S.

What a great spot! I had been seeing Ginger Bread Man Bakery pop up in my social feed, and loved the look of the treats and the welcoming spirit of the owners, so I decided to drop by. Really glad I did, and also, helps it is right next to one of my top hot dog spots... PBs! It's a tiny place, but is very warmly decorated, and honestly... a bakery can get away with a smaller space. Locks in those amazing aromas! There is a nice patio outside to enjoy your treats, and a couple of cafe tables inside as well. The case is packed with yummy items, cupcakes, moon pies, cookies, and of course... gingerbread men. I wanted a cupcake, and they had a gingerbread cupcake! Something I have not had before. The presentation was perfect, and it was given to me in the perfect sized cupcake container, barely any icing escaped, didn't smash anything, just the right size for their treats. The icing was smooth, airy, sweet enough without making your eyes widen. The cake itself, packed with ginger and general fall flavors. Obviously their specialty, and they nailed it. Would happily return for another treat, the chocolate chip cookies looked very good too!

First, I just want to say the employees are the kindest people ever. You can tell they love their business, and it just made me want to keep supporting them! Luckily, they have an incredibly scrumptious product to support. The sundaes - WOW. All I can say is wow It was just so tasty. The ice cream is phenomenal. So many toppings!! I can't wait until I get to go again. I was also very impressed by their outdoor space. Very family friendly with toys and lots of places to sit. A top place in the Triad!

We ended up waiting about 30 minutes. They had decorated the outside with Harry Potter-themed decorations, which made the wait more enjoyable. It was fun looking at everything while we were in line. I was originally planning to order something from their regular menu but since they still had their Harry Potter-themed sundaes, I decided to try the Butterbeer Sundae (with a light amount of whipped cream). It was really good! My son ordered the Bailey Banana and he really enjoyed it as well.

Nata Belle's was definitely worth the try!…read more I grabbed three flavors: Sweet Potato Brownie, Peach Cobbler Pound Cake, and Oreo Pound Cake. First things first--the texture is EVERYTHING. Pillow-soft, incredibly moist, rich, and you can tell these recipes have been perfected. The quality is absolutely there. These desserts are definitely on the sweeter, more indulgent side, so for me this is a once-in-a-blue-moon treat--but when you want a real dessert, they deliver. This is not your little "I just need something sweet" cake. This is a luxury dessert. Surprisingly, my favorite was the Oreo Pound Cake, and I'm not even a big Oreo girl! The balance was perfect, and that's the one I'd come back and grab just for myself. The Peach Cobbler and Sweet Potato Brownie were both delicious too, just much richer. Great service, great quality, and clearly somebody knows exactly what they're doing in that kitchen. If you haven't tried Natty Belle's yet, I definitely recommend giving them a try.

While waiting for my order my friend received hers and let me have a sample I ended up getting back in line and ordered one to go lol. All the cakes were delicious, though our least favorite was the sweet potato brownie with pecans. Definitely give this place a try if ever in the area.

From the moment you walk in, the vibe is cool and welcoming, with plenty of comfortable seating both indoors and out. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. And the baked goods? There were so many incredible-looking options that I already know we'll have to come back and work our way through the menu. But that cinnamon roll stole the show. It was warm, soft, and perfectly chewy, with just the right amount of icing. Sweet enough to be delicious without being overly sweet. We'll absolutely be making this a regular stop every time we pass through Winston-Salem. If you're anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and stop in. And get the cinnamon roll.

I ordered the traditional cinnamon roll and a sea salt chocolate chip cookie. The cinnamon roll had really good flavor, especially the frosting and dough, and I thought the cinnamon-to-roll ratio was perfect. It was served slightly warm, but I did find the roll to be a little dry. The cookie, however, was easily my favorite. The combination of chocolate chips and sea salt was so good that I would honestly go back for a dozen cookies before getting another cinnamon roll. The customer service was pretty standard and not particularly personable, but the food was the main reason I stopped in. Overall, I enjoyed trying the spot, and that cookie definitely gave me a reason to come back.
