Lately, I haven't been that big on sweets. It has to be really special for me to be willing to use up my calories. But my husband had been here before and insisted I try something and OMG... EXCELLENT doesn't even begin to cover it. We had the Sticky Bun Croissant (topped with buttercream icing and a caramel-y, slightly hardened bottom) and--HELP JESUS. That thing is PHENOMENAL. Like... immediate silence once we started eating. We also grabbed a slice of the 15-layer chocolate cake (layers of cake, chocolate ganache, and chocolate mousse) and it was straight-up fantastic. Even the bottled drinks were great--I had a sparkling pink grapefruit drink that was really good. My husband previously had the carrot cake bread pudding and still talks about it like it changed his life. Everything... and I mean EVERYTHING we tasted was nothing short of amazing. We literally went back 20 minutes later to grab something to bring to my mother-in-love who lives in another state. That's how serious it was. They also have a few celebratory alcoholic beverages if you're grabbing items for a party, event, or special occasion. And they make beautiful baked goods for events too, so definitely check them out if you've got something coming up. Lady Ray's also offers tea parties! You do need to book in advance, but the setup was so intimate, elegant, and cute. I didn't take a photo of the party while it was happening, but I was genuinely impressed. Such a fun idea for a girlfriends' outing. And Lady Ray herself? Absolutely beautiful, both inside and out. Her friendly demeanor, great sense of humor, and service-oriented heart make you want to come back again and again. If you're anywhere near Lady Ray's, I highly recommend stopping by. Your taste buds will thank you. read more

My fiance and I did "Tea for Two" at Lady Ray's and had a great time! It was served in 3 courses by the owner herself, who was so lovely and friendly. The first course was a delicious earl grey with scones, the second was a chamomile tea with the tea sandwiches (YUM), and the third was either a cinnamon tea or a peppermint tea with all the sweets (I'm sure the variety may change over time). We were super full by the end and couldn't even finish half of all the goodies, so we got a to-go box to take the rest home. For the price ($38.99 per person) it was nice to get so much to eat and drink! read more

What a nice little gem in our neighborhood. I've tried several fresh and delicious bakery items and the sandwiches are unique and so good. My sister and her daughter are coming to visit in a couple of weeks and I'm going to take them for one of Lady Ray's tea parties. That should be a memorable experience. I've been told their special carrot cake must be ordered ahead of time but is unforgettable for a special occasion. I'm looking forward to trying it. I tried to order but I was too late for Christmas. They are in the Winn Dixie shopping center and the excellent Shore hair salon where I get my highlights done is in the same center. read more

Great place to enjoy croissants and coffee. Croissants were fresh. Coffee was freshly brewed and delicious. Service was outstanding! Very cozy. read more

This is the place to stop if you want awesome croissants, coffee and baked goods. I'm from Michigan and when we came down to Destin we looked and found this place where everything is bake fresh every day. read more

Legit, if you eat nowhere else in Destin, go here! First of all I wanted to get my mom a specialty birthday cake as she was coming into town to celebrate her birthday, she and I both are huge carrot cake lovers/connoisseurs and the internet did NOT steer me wrong on choosing Lady Ray's - good God, between 4 of us within 2 days time we'd fully devoured the cake, it was divine! So good in fact that we went back today to get another cake and to try the breakfast/brunch - not a single thing disappointed. Exceptional service, legit girl gets after it and does it happily & comes through with quality everything. We had mimosas, always delicious, I had the turkey, avocado sandwich and it was so fire, super filling. My husband had the meg breakfast sandwich also super freaking good. The snackelboxes look so amazing, we haven't dipped into them yet though, and of course we got another carrot cake to split between all of us to take home. The outside of the spot is really unassuming but they've made the inside super cute with the option for a reserved tea time complete with the cutest little tea sets. Really love this little place and will 100% be returning! Updated to say: OK - the snackel-boxes - OMG SO FREAKIN' GOOD!!!! We got 2 and each group took one for the drive home to snack on along the way, between the hubs & I this was long gone before we got home! read more

Absolutely a hidden gem like another reviews said. I went for a drive looking for some coffee, when I was driving through the Target area and saw a sign for cold brew, so I made a quick turn and parked. I walked in and was quickly impressed with the owner who was explaining the menu to a group of ladies. Now the space is small and intimate, but the food is well curated. I ordered a delicious cold brew and also picked up a chocolate croissant and key lime croissant. It was all so delicious! We are considering ordering the buttercream board while here in vacation. They also offer a variety of breakfast sandwiches. I also noticed they have a tea for two that I may look into for my daughter and I. read more

Had the pleasure of meeting Lady Ray herself and she was super sweet and very personable. Me and my sister got the breakfast bowl, and some other breakfast items which all tasted delicious! The service and food definitely will make us repeat customers and I recommend anyone else driving by to come and try it too! An honorable mention is their cafe con leche!! Try it with the sweetened condensed milk ;) thank me later read more

We ordered a sticky bun, blueberry croissant along with lunch sandwiches on a Sunday late morning. We also bought a cookie to go. It was all SOOO VERY GOOD. We commented several times to ourselves we wanted to go back to try more, but they are closed Mondays and Tuesdays. We understand everyone needs a day off but had they been open or our trip was longer we would have gone back for more, probably a few more times. The owner was very friendly and talked with us a bit too. Great place for food and bakery. If in Destin ever again I am stopping in. Highly Recommend. read more

Such a great atmosphere and staff! Their food is always delicious and all the bakery items are divine. My husband and I did a cake tasting tea party which was perfect in every way. I felt heard and catered to when planning my wedding cake which came out beautifully. I cannot recommend anything and everything from Lady Ray's more! Truly the biggest gem of the Destin area. read more

I loved this place! The food was honestly so good. I got the chocolate croissant and it was perfect -- not too sweet, which I really appreciated. I also tried the turkey avocado croissant and it was a solid 10 out of 10. Super fresh and full of flavor. The mimosas were just perfect, too. Everything I ordered hit the spot. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Amazing food and amazing staff. Treated us well and food came out nice. The place has a good vibe to it aswell.

First, Chef Rachel was extremely nice and I'm glad we met in person as we were from out of town. She was above and beyond as far as taking care of our needs The food was TOP NOTCH. We had a custom order and got petit fours and key lime bites for my wife's birthday and they were the best thing ever. Petit fours were big and DELICIOUS. 13/10 will definitely be back next time even if just to stop by and enjoy a professional made dessert. read more

wonderful experience! friendly staff, and yummy treats!! some gluten-free options as well! We will definitely be returning!!

This place is like a little hidden treasure in the middle of Destin. You wouldn't think much of it from the outside (it's in the same shopping center as Target) but their coffee and croissants are absolutely amazing. Their sandwiches are creative and delicious as well. The dirty Chai is my favorite latte and I crave it like no other coffee anywhere. It's amazing how people will wait in line at Starbucks inside Target when there is amazing espresso just a couple storefronts down with no wait. Can't wait to try some of their sweets available as well. They do custom cakes through Bake my Day as well I believe. read more

This place is appointment only and seems like very busy. Their cakes look great on their website so I contacted them through the website 16 or 17 days before my son's birthday. However, I didn't get any reply for 5 days. I couldn't wait any longer so I went in to the store but the store was appointment only... fortunately I could talk with one of the stuff but she said I need to order 2weeks beforehand even though I contacted even before that...anyways ! I think they are pretty busy so if you are thinking to get a cake from them, make sure to contact them a month before. read more

What a delightful find!! Super cute shop and FREAKING delightful food! Service is polite friendly and everything you'd want out of a little bakery/cafe is here! read more

This bakery is run by a sister-brother duo, who are great people. The baker is a CIA graduate who excels with her skills and talents!

After reading the reviews I decided to try this bakery instead of my usual at the donut hole. It was a huge disappointment I got a croissant with chocolate buttercream and a couple of cupcakes for family members all of the pastries were dry and hard they tasted old. I also got 2 suckers a white chocolate and a milk chocolate they were both gross with a bad taste. A waste of over $20 if you want fresh and tasty pastries don't go here. read more

Exciting new bakery in town! Which does amazing breakfast sandwiches! Highly recommended any of their croissants sandwiches! Chef's kiss!

I called Bake My Day with less than a week's notice for two birthday cakes. Rachel is the most incredible baker - she took my vague guidelines and managed to create two of the most beautiful cakes I have seen in my life. She was incredible kind, helpful, and enthusiastic, and the reviews here don't reflect just how wonderful she was. She had clear and constant communication, delivered more than what was promised, and the cakes were delicious. If I'm in the area for vacation again I will without a doubt be ordering cakes from here. read more

I loved the cake I had made to celebrate my brother and his new wife (they eloped so we wanted to get a cake after the fact). It was so easy to work with Heidi. I sent a few pictures of possibilities and she created this beauty! Even better, I was able to have the top layer my brothers favorite (strawberry) and my sister in laws favorite on the bottom (almond). Everyone loved the cake and it was super delicious!!! I highly recommend Heidi for anyone needing a cake. Btw, I live in Dallas, so everything was over email and it still worked out perfectly. read more

Incredible coffee and fresh, speciality baked goods daily. This is the coffee and bakery spot that Destin has been waiting for.

Looking for a surprise? Look no further than this offbeat wedding-cake-maker-during-the-week/bakery-during-the weekend hidden gem. After figuring out they are ONLY open as a bakery on the weekend (FRI-SUN) we went there on a Saturday and, to our absolute delight, had simply mouthwateringly delicious croissant sandwiches (special spices apparently). I had the egg, ham, and cheese, while my wife had the turkey, avocado, and tomato (sans bacon). We ended with a scrumptious chocolate croissant (don't knock it until you try it). We left with a bagful of croissants-they were that good!! Run by a brother and sister dynamic duo, you owe it to yourself to try the place. Almost forgot-checkout their Facebook page to see their gorgeous wedding and other cakes! read more

Our wedding cake was amazing!! Flavors were great! She worked great with our wedding planner to make sure everything looked great and matched the decor! Couldn't thank her enough for her service! read more

I was throwing a birthday weekend for a friend out in Destin and wanted a special birthday cake prepared. Heidi was in the process of moving her bakery to her new location, but still made time to help me design a beautiful Dr. Pepper-inspired cake for my friend. My only regret is that I didn't take a picture of that thing so I could post it on here! Heidi, it was beautiful, it was breathtaking, and yes, it was delicious! Thank you for everything! read more

The best carrot cake I have ever tasted. Ever. That's saying a great deal because I bake and cook on a regular basis. I went with this place on a whim (the name cracked me up) for my wedding cake, and it turned out near identical to the drawing I submitted (I'm also an artist). The staff was friendly and eager to please. Fast forward to my third anniversary, and here we are on a last minute trip to Fort Walton. With both of us craving that delectable dessert, we called them up to see if they could squeeze in an anniversary cake. I knew peak wedding season would be tricky, but they had us covered :) Thanks Bake My Day for being awesome! read more

What an incredible experience. Chef Heidi was so polite and professional. I was able to give her a picture of the cake design I wanted and not only did she match it, it was significantly better then the picture. The cake looked outstanding. Not only did the cake look great, it tasted AMAZING! Her cake was probably the best I had to date and EVERY one of the family members agreed. I highly recommend Chef Heidi at Bake My Day. read more

Wonderful working with Chef Heidi! Helped create a small, but beautiful wedding cake for my daughter's beach wedding over the 4th of July. Heidi is so easy to work with. She made helpful suggestions and the cake turned out just as we hoped! Wonderful succulent greenery and the flavors (combination of citrus and raspberry) were scrumptious. Simply perfect!! read more

Heidi is a gem! From the moment we had our tasting with her (that coconut filling is to die for), till the moment that the cakes were delivered to the reception, we felt very good working with her. The cakes looked great; the wedding cake was amazing and the groomscake was an art piece in itself! We actually had set up two appointments when we came in Destin to select our vendors and we met first with Heidi and knew we would be in good hands and canceled the second vendor. We felt that was fair for everyone as we knew Heidi would be great! Our Photobooth operator also mentioned that out of experience from all his weddings when the cake is still moist at the end of the night it is a great cake, well guess what our cake was still very moist! read more

Heidi did an amazing job on our wedding cake. My husband and I have totally different taste and she was completely fine with doing two different flavors. The coconut filling with mango was absolutely delicious. Our guest raved at how delicious it was and said it was the best wedding cake they had ever had. Can't wait to get back to Destin for an anniversary trip one day. We will for sure order a cake from Heidi to celebrate. Highly recommend! read more
