I visited to purchase pastries for a family get together. The staff was incredibly helpful and the variety of pastries made it difficult to narrow down decisions. We ordered approximately 10 different options and none of them were disappointing. The pastries were light, full, flavorful and fresh. The pastries I got were supposed to last 4 days. They barely lasted two. Whether you need one or 30 pastries, this is the place to stop in. read more

Might have had one of the rudest service experiences in a long time. The woman that served us was incredibly rude. We waited 5 minutes to order, after she gave us the death stare multiple times. We had no idea where to order or what to do since we were not even greeted or welcomed. I could tell she was annoyed with us She seemed very inconvenienced when we had to ask where the cream was since this was our first time. Again, incredibly rude. We noticed people around us got their pastries served on plates/baskets and ours was boxed up. Never once were we asked if we were eating in or doing to go. Would have been an easy one star review but the pastries we had were good. I for one, will not be back anytime soon. read more

Nice little bake shop in Covington Ky. Street parking available. They have basic coffee you can get. The baked items were displayed right in front of you when you walk in. Had to ask to have our pastries warmed up but they were able to do that. read more

This spot has a beautiful interior with both table, window, and bench seating. The sunlight coming in makes for the perfect atmosphere to enjoy some baked goods. I ordered the caramelized onion and goat cheese pastry for $5 and got it warmed up, and it was delicious! My friends who ordered the quiche (sun dried tomatoes, feta, dill) and breakfast sandwiches all loved their food as well. read more

I came with a friend on a Sunday morning to grab a quick bite. The staff was not too friendly and didn't provide much detail on what they served. We both got a turkey club and it was pretty good but think it would be even better warm. The place itself wasn't very warm and cozy but the pasteries and food did taste good. They were very flavorful! I would come back for another pastry if I was in the area but wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

A hidden gem! Delicious pastries and friendly wonderful staff. I went two days while staying at the Hotel Covington and had their apple butter cruffin and their special pistachio cream cruffin. I could have eaten their entire display case but needed to seize the chance of having their famous croissant/muffin combo. Light and fluffy with the right amount of sweet Would definitely recommend making a stop here if you're in the area for a breakfast or sweet treat ! read more

I had been looking forward to giving this place a try but when I finally did, I was quite disappointed. Wished they had offered more coffee options and a warm welcome or greetings from their staff. It would have made this experience much better. The gentlemen behind the counter seemed like he was upset or just didn't want to be there. It's a cute place and the coffee glazed babka was pretty good but wished the experience was better. read more

Was lucky enough to taste North South's Baking's delicious blueberry crumble pie at a Yelp event and we earmarked it as our Christmas dinner dessert. In addition to picking up the pie, which was as awesome as we remembered, we picked up two of the cookie boxes -- one as a gift and one to keep all for ourselves. The variety and flavors were wonderful and very well priced. Online ordering and pickup for holiday orders was easy and well-organized. read more

Incredible bakery in Covington! Everything I've tried there has been so good. One of my favorite croissants anywhere around!

North South Baking is phenomenal. The only downside is that you have to go early, because they sell out. I went at 10am, and they were already sold out of veggie breakfast sandwiches. Everything I've gotten to eat here is so good. The staff is always so nice and helpful. read more

Came here for the second time today -- was super excited after finishing a night shift and wanted to treat myself. Honestly, kind of disappointed. The pastries were okay at best. The strawberries & cream cruffin was way too sweet, and the onion cheese pastry was just meh. But the real letdown was the guy working the counter. His attitude was terrible -- he looked miserable and acted like he didn't want to be there at all. I almost asked him, "Who hurt you?" because wow. If you're gonna work in customer service, at least try to be a little polite. Not sure I'll come back, mostly because of how unpleasant the interaction was. read more

We went to North South around 8 am on a weekday and were instantly greeted by the pleasant aroma of freshly baked goods. I was looking forward to trying the breakfast sandwiches but they would not be ready for another hour, so we settled for sweet baked goods. The coffee glazed cinnamon roll was soft, warm, and decadent without being overly sweet. The beery danish was also very good with balanced flavors and a very nice croissant texture of the bread. The coffee was underwhelming, unfortunately. I can't wait to come back and try the rest of their selection! read more

I'd been searching for donuts in the Covington area to give out as work treats, and found a nearby place in Newport. It was not what I was hoping for, so I luckily broadened my search to pastries and lucked upon North South. It is in the same building as a pizza shop, so easy to miss. There was an assortment of croissants, sticky buns, cinnamon rolls, and other treats that looked good. I grabbed a bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich for myself and it was delicious, honestly the best breakfast sandwich I'd ever had because of the flaky croissant with seeds and cheese! I didn't get to try any of the pastries, but would make a trip back just the the BEC sandwich. read more

Yummy. Yummy. Yummy. Fresh baked high end baked goods made with quality ingredients by a bad ass baker chick. Also conveniently located on the same street as Left Bank Coffee- which offers Deeper Roots Roasted coffee- so you can get your baked goods and your caffeine needs met in a very convenient and quick fashion. They sell out sometimes - so go early. Also, in the later part of the day - the same location offers pizza and beer. read more

Fabulous place to stop for pastries plus there is room to dine in! You can enter the business from either the street in front or behind it. There's metered street parking which is convenient on a weekend when it's not too challenging to find a spot. It was quiet when we were there and all tables were available. It's sunny and bright and there were fresh flowers on the tables. Overall a fun place to grab a treat and cup of coffee! Everything is delicious HIGHLY recommend. read more

We quickly picked up some pastries before heading down to red river gorge! This bakery always has a good spread and variety of items. We got the carmelized onion and goat cheese croissant pastry and the blackberry twist. Something savory and something sweet :). Both were yummy and flaky. They are also one of the few bakeries open early on the weekends, they open at 7am! Street parking available! read more

My family visited North South Baking on Saturday and I'm still thinking of my delicious croissant! I had the pistachio croissant and it was perfectly flaky and it was a delicious sweet treat, a reminiscent of baklava but with more focus on the croissant and frosting. My husband had the chocolate croissant, which was also delicious. Our four year old had a frosted gingerbread cookie and devoured it. Our family had a chocolate chunk cookie to share; while the flavor was awesome, it was a little crunchier than we prefer for that kind of cookie (if you like a crunchy chocolate chip, this would be perfect for you!). We also grabbed a loaf of brioche for us to add to meals throughout the week and it made delicious breakfast sandwiches and garlic bread. The staff was friendly and the line moved quickly. We can't wait to visit again! read more

Great local bakery showcasing small batch baked goods with an ongoing rotation of seasonal favorites. I had a breakfast sandwich that was absolutely delicious - with tons of cheese, surprisingly fluffy eggs and bacon. I took it back to the office and as suggested - nuked it in the microwave for 90 seconds to warm it up. Hindsight being 20/20 I probably would have only done 60sec in the future - that way it's easier to eat sooner, and probably won't overcook the croissant. read more

No matter the angle, North South's cruffins are always looking GOOD! They are always switching it up with seasonal flavors using local ingredients, so you'll never be bored with anything they make-but it doesn't really matters cause even their their staples are just so good- they can't go wrong! My absolute favorite are their variety of cruffins week to week! I always look forward to their weekly menu post! read more

Rose and Mary Bakery was one of the finest bakeries I have ever been to, and I miss them terribly, but.......the new occupants of this same space - North South Baking - is a wonderful and near equal replacement. In some ways, they might even be better. I had four different pastry items and nothing was worse than very good Particularly delightful was the goat cheese/caramelized onion/poppy seed pastry, which was so damn good I bought an extra to take home and was it was wonderful even while a tad stale the next morning . I also have to say their Mock Amann was every bit as good as the monkey bread over at Mochiko.....and there was a line of 50 people waiting at Mochiko when I was last there So many other things looked so damned good that I definitely need to make a return visit soon hey NS owner(s)/baker(s): just one request. On the lemon lavender cruffin go with either the sugar coating OR the icing, but not both Strongly recommended read more

I just tried North South for the first time this morning. And I can tell you I. Will. Be. Back!!! This place is amazing. During the week, I placed an order to pick up (so easy) and then just walked right in and everything was there and ready to go. These baked goods are HUGE and SO delicious. I tried the cruffins, coconut Bakewell tarts, almond croissants and lemon meringue pies. There was not a bad bite in the bunch. The balance of salty and sweet was perfection. Apparently the cinnamon rolls are the stars, so I will get those next week! I also loved their cold brew coffee. Trying to find a new bakery? This is the one! Look in no other direction!! read more

Thanks to Yelp this is going to be our go to place for baked goodies! Loved the place, the vibe is pretty cool, colorful, clean and different. The staff was very nice and friendly. It was a little packed at the time so everything went pretty fast but I'm looking forward to coming back even though I haven't finished everything I bought from them two days ago... It was that good. My wife went crazy with the Pistachios Rose Croissant, to the point that she offered me a bite but by the time I asked for it, it was all gone. The Cruffins (if im typing it correctly) ... Holy Cr.. Thats where they got me, the Boston cream one! even the plain one! It was soft but with a bite, airy but not empty, perfect amount of filling and texture... just amazing. I also bought a loaf of Brioche and made French toast with it... Perfect for it. It's located in a great spot in front of Braxton brewery, and on the same block as Agave and Rye. The local seems to be divided between them and Bircus brewing company which have wood fire pizzas... I couldn't asked how that worked since it was pretty early in the morning and it was packed but seems to be a pretty cool concept. Highly recommended. read more

My favorite breakfast spot in Covington (and the entire TriState tbh) I love the walkability of it from neighborhoods, and being a great place to drive to and start your walk of various shops, coffees, activities from! The pastries are beyond fresh, hand crafted and truly phenomenal. Yk when you're younger and you can taste when something is made with love and true care for the craft of that food? North South is that. read more
