My wife and I recently stopped here to grab a couple of slices of cake to celebrate our anniversary. The staff was very friendly, and welcoming. There were several people in front of us when we arrived, but they kept the line moving, and got people served quickly. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, though the outdoor patio is in the middle of the parking lot. They offer a huge selection of cakes, cupcakes, pies and more to pick from, pricing is fair, and slices are generous. Picking just 1 slice of cake each was the hardest part of the visit. I went with red velvet, and my wife went with a slice of butter pecan. Both were fantastic, very moist, and flavorful, both layered with delicious frosting. We got our slices to go, and enjoyed them over 2 nights! This is a Greensboro gem, and a must visit for anyone with a sweet tooth! read more

Oh how my family loves this place! We used to come here a lot when we lived in Greensboro so visit every time we are in the area. It's a super cool place to meet a friend and catch up. There's more than one room and various comfortable areas to relax in. The hard part of coming here is deciding what to order. Everything I have ever had has been wonderful. This time it was two different chocolate chip cookies. We disagreed about the best one. We each had our favorite. Always clean and well kept and helpful people behind the counter. We will be back! read more

I love Maxie B's! The vibe is fantastic. I love the chill music and comfortable atmosphere. There are so many cakes and desserts to choose from! I eventually choose a chocolate pumpkin cake. It was amazing and had the best flavor! It was huge and perfect for sharing. Definitely will be back soon! read more

This is THE cutest bakery in Greensboro! I got cupcakes here for my sister's baby sprinkle and they were all delicious. I got one of almost everything on the menu and we enjoyed every one. My favorite part is they are not overly sweet! I had the chance to walk around and every detail is just perfect. So many different seating options including a precious area for kiddos. This would be a wonderful place for a baby/bridal shower, birthday party, or gathering of any kind! The staff was so nice and welcoming. Lots of parking in the shopping center and one of the cleanest and prettiest bathrooms I've seen! read more

We do not live locally but received a recommendation from my friend who lives locally for a bakery for my daughter's college graduation this past weekend.

There was a line outside when I went to pick up my order so I will be back to sample more! read more

The inside aroma and goodies will definitely wake up your sweet tooth!! The service was good with a smile.

Been wanting to try this place for a while, and glad we did! Sorry I didn't take pics on this one, but I did get the caramel apple cake, which was super MOIST with a bomb of a caramel frosting. The apple was pleasant but could have stood out more. Maybe sliced too small? Maybe not enough of it? Either way, 9/10. I also got the Italian sweet cream cake which reminded me more of a carrot cake without the carrot, with cream cheese frosting and nuts. Also a very pleasant cake that was the opposite of dry. 7/10. My wife got the devil's food cake, which comes with a chocolate frosting. I don't normally like devil's food cake, but the ratio of cake to frosting kept it from feeling dried out. 8/10. I also had (yes, this was a big order) the coffee cake, which was probably the best I've ever had or close to it! Huge portion, she super wet, flavor was pretty perfect, great texture! 9.95/10 might be a 10 depending on if you prefer yours with crumb topping (I do). The storefront was clean and vibrant but small, but they do have an outdoor area cordoned off in the parking lot for eating outside on a nice day. Otherwise, plan to take it elsewhere. They also offer quiches and other savory items as well as coffees, and the service was friendly and patient, despite being busy at the time we went. We also got a lot of options for the total price, which came out to $50. Seven items for that price is pretty good, I think. One of those places I'll be happy to come back to when I'm in the area and also relieved that I don't live closer because it would do some damage! read more

My partner and I get out to Maxie B's about once a year, and we always look forward to trying something new. As customers flowed in, the staff was very attentive and checked on us multiple times and were patient as we took our time making our decision. With so many delicious options, it's always so hard to pick just one! My partner chose a slice of key lime cake and I picked the strawberry cake (the generous amount of strawberries called to me!). We found a cozy spot in the next room and parked ourselves by the window so we could watch the bees and butterflies as they danced from one wildflower to another. I just love the environment they've created outside, but it was a bit too hot, so we decided to enjoy our cake inside in the equally as beautiful space. As always, we were delighted with every bite. Both cakes were moist, full of flavor, with the perfect amount of icing. I was so intrigued by the key lime cake and wished I got it for myself! So tangy and tasty! Overall, Maxie B's remains consistent and is still one of our favorite bakeries in the area. read more

I'm not sure what I can say about this place that hundreds, if not thousands of other reviewers have already said. The quality of the desserts is second to none and there's always a good variety of cakes, pies, cookies, and other sweet treats. It is not often that the line is not out the door, but service is fast and the ambience is good although it's probably better to visit on a nice summer day where you can sit outside and enjoy your treat because there's not much room in the inside to dine in and enjoy the deliciousness of their cakes. My all-time favorites include the strawberry cream, the pecan pie, the Keylime pie, and guess what I could go on and on and on, so I'll stop there. If you're looking for a quality piece of cake pie or cookies or other dessert this is the place for you but just make sure you get there early enough so they don't run out of your favorite read more

I absolutely love this place and I am one of their biggest unpaid ambassadors. I have a spot where I would like for them to hang my picture and a cake recipe idea as well. The atmosphere is amazing very laid back. They have an electric fireplace that makes it super cozy. The customer service is always impeccable. The variety of flavors and options is endless and they have something for everyone. I have sent every student and person I know to Maxie Bs. I recently tried the quiche and it didn't disappoint. Everyone who knows me knows I love this place. I am trying to be a taste tester if they need one lol. read more

We got several cakes and a cookie. The strawberry shortcake was outstanding and was a taste of summer in your mouth. We also got a lemon blueberry bar that was moist dense taste...wonderful. The molasses cookie with filling was good but the filling was too sweet in our opinion. The cookie portion was fantastic. Very nice area to sit and enjoy your food. The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. read more

While passing through North Carolina, my husband introduced me to Maxie B's and I'm glad he did! It is a cozy and cute atmosphere otherwise inside and outside. The selection of desserts is overwhelming as they all look so good. The staff was very nice and helpful in allowing us time to make our selections. We landed on slices of cake and pie, a cupcake and a cup of coffee. Once we made it home I tried the cherry pie and omg, it was the best I've ever had. You can tell it was definitely made from scratch. Maxie B's will see us again when we travel back through the area! read more

Maxie Bs is truly a Greensboro staple! I love the classic southern ambiance, very cute place to pick up cake to go or stop in for a quick sweet treat. The service is quick and staff is always helpful when it comes to questions or concerns. The business is always really busy but they have plenty of people working to keep the line moving. Their cakes and cupcakes are rich, moist and tasty! We have ordered whole cakes for special events several times and they always come out beautifully as well! I will keep returning here and recommend it to anyone who loves cake as much as I do. read more

Happened to find myself on Battleground while out running holiday errands so you know what that means...I need a little treat!! Grabbed a slice of chess pie for me, a carrot cake cupcake for the hubs, and a caramel apple cupcake for my brother. The place was hopping and there were so many selections. Wish we had a branch in High Point. I love being able to grab some sweets known they are made from scratch and no harmful ingredients. Staff was super friendly and I just love the clean, organized shop as well as the little 'garden' area out front for warmer days. read more

TAKE HEED! Maxie B's is hands down the GREATEST place for cake in Greensboro. The slices, the cups, and the whole shebang! The cake is perfectly moist - the icing is a delicacy all it's own - the designs ABSOLUTELY stunning! If you need a cake(s) for a party - call them - now! Do not delay... but even if you do, they have outstanding cakes and cupcakes available in the bakery you could scoop up quickly. Aside from your party needs - going here for a quick sweet treat is the best decision you'll make all day!! I recommend the German chocolate or the carrot - but you simply cannot go wrong! read more

It's been my favorite bakery for a while but i did just find out they discontinued their oreo cupcake which was my absolute favorite. PLEASE bring it back.

If you want to be amazed, step foot inside this unassuming storefront of a bakery. If you are a cake lover like me it will just blow you away and tickle your fancy. There are over 50 cakes to choose from and they are all beautifully displayed. I had no idea about this place but now that I do, I will be a regular. The prices are not bad either my favorite was the fresh apple cake with cinnamon frosting. The pound cakes are good, but I would probably like mine without the frosting on it. The coconut pineapple cake was also delicious. Cannot wait to try a few more. read more

Maxie b's is an absolute treasure of greensboro. It is hands down my favorite bakery. My family and I visit this place often, especially since they have vegan and gluten-free options (although I do wish there were a few more vegan cake options). I have never once had something here i didn't like. Their cookies (favorite is the stuffed chocolate chip cookie) melt in your mouth, their pies have a delightfully buttery crust, and their cakes are superior to any other cakes around. Last visit, I got their chocolate silk pie topped with tons of whipped cream! Sooooo good, rich, smooth, heaven. The interior is so beautiful, and the staff is always patient and kind even if the line is out the door, which it often is. read more

Best cakes ever!! I tried five slices - all were wonderful with strawberry being my absolute fave!

It's just OK. The gluten free options are limited. It's pricey for what you get. There is usually a line but I don't get the fascination. Grocery stores have better gf options. read more

Beautiful location and welcoming environment and staff. I was truly impressed with the amount of cakes, cookies and cupcakes. I believe they have gluten free options as well. I was welcomed into the chic location by a few members of the staff to ensure I was taken care of. I ordered a total of five cupcakes, carrot cake, an old fashioned, red velvet, vanilla and Oreo. I love the carrot cake and will definitely make sure I go get another one before I leave. I wasn't necessarily overly impressed with the Oreo as it didn't seem as fresh as the others. Everyone else did like the others. As an out of towner, I didn't know how much things cost-I probably would've purchased more desserts had the prices been posted. There were no menus posted or available (I asked). read more

Maxie B's - RECEIPT STILL NO REWARDS - Bakeries Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Maxie B was highly recommended to me when I was looking to fulfill my chocolate cake craving. They have a ton of options, staff were extremely friendly and helpful! I ordered two slices of cake & a cookie sandwich. Then was offered another complimentary slice of red velvet cake. The decor and interior is nicely done too! The all American chocolate cake was delicious! Hit the spot. We also got the old fashioned chocolate, good but not my favorite. The complimentary red velvet was delicious! The let down was definitely cookie sandwich - both cookies were almost stale and hard. For almost $7, I expected more. It got thrown in the trash. Reason for only 4 stars. read more

First visit and it did not disappoint. Beautiful design inside with cozy seating in back with couches, tables and chairs, books for kids, puzzles, etc. just like a cozy living room. Yes it's pricey but it's nice to pamper yourself once in a while. 2 lattes and 2 slices of cake $28 with tip. Long line out the door at 2 pm but it moved fast. Order online and pick up at register to avoid wait. Wait helped with so much to choose from.. Cakes were moist and flavorful and had enough to enjoy the next day. Definitely worth at least one visit. You'll be hooked! read more

I had a lovely young blonde girl, she said her name was Olive I believe? She was extremely patient, as I am elderly and hard of hearing.

We ordered a red, white, and blue cake and I've heard great things about this place! The cake looked exactly like the photos and the service was prompt. Nice cake shop atmosphere when I walked in! I brought the cake home and put in fridge as directed. We tried it out the evening I picked it up! Overall, the cake was delicious! Nice buttercream and it was light and fluffy! The fruit was overall fairly sweet! ... but then we looked closer at part of the cake and saw mold! I was hopeful it was just some frozen bit of fruit but I attached a photo... it does not look to be frozen... read more

Maxie B's - Bakeries Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

After I took my wife to lunch, we wanted to get something sweet. She knew about this place because she once purchased some cupcakes for a work event and knew they are very well known in Greensboro for their sweet treats. We arrived about 1pm on a Monday and there were quite a few people entering and leaving. They are located in a strip mall with some other businesses and the parking lot was pretty full. We were able to find a spot. It appears that the business occupies at least 3 units with the bakery on the right, the sales area in the middle and a seating area on the left. We got in line and looked at all the cakes, cookies and treats in the display cases. We talked about what we were going to get and my wife mentioned they do ice cream sandwiches with their cookies. We decided to share a chocolate chip cookie sandwich with vanilla ice cream. We placed our order and asked if they could cut it in half, which they said they could. The young lady helping us then took two chocolate chip cookies from the jar and began scooping out the ice cream to create our dessert and then expertly cut it in half. Oh my goodness, if we would have had more time we would have taken a seat in their beautifully decorated sitting area but we were short on time so we sat at the counter and dug into our dessert. It was delicious, creamy vanilla ice cream between two yummy cookies. This is easily something two people can share, and based on the number of delicious looking options you might want to share so you can sample even more. We will be sure to stop in again when visiting Greensboro one of these weekends! read more
