I went in Saturday evening right before closing and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I'm very impressed with this bakery and the Macaron was delicious. read more

Paul And Jack Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Paul & Jack Bakery is such a cute local bakery and coffee shop in downtown Raleigh! Everything we tried tasted fresh and delicious, and their pastry selection makes it very hard to choose just one. We stopped in for breakfast and had coffee with their cheesy croissant with an egg baked in the middle. It was flaky, buttery, cheesy, and surprisingly filling, big enough for us to share and the perfect match with our coffee. We liked it so much that we came back the very next day just to try more of their pastries and donuts! Their crème brûlée donut was our favorite freshly made, creamy, and not overly sweet. Exactly how I like a dessert. They also have a beautiful selection of croissants, pastries, cheesecakes, and other freshly made treats. The shop is bright, clean, and cozy, making it a great spot for breakfast or a coffee date. Customer service was quick and friendly, which made the experience even better. Definitely a Raleigh bakery worth coming back to and we proved it by returning the very next day! read more

Yum! Think more dessert shop, less bakery. I had a raspberry vanilla danish, and I absolutely loved it. Flaky pastry, mild but sweet filling. My mom had the pain au chocolat cookie... it was a little overwhelming and very sweet... not my taste, but she enjoyed it. Everything looked delicious and prices felt reasonable. The hardest part was choosing! I will say I was rather underwhelmed by the coffee, but they did have an interesting variety of syrups. read more

First time here today. We took home pistachio Boston cream, Napoleon and 2 baklava $24. All were equally delicious. We'll definitely go back and try some others. read more

We tried the crème brûlée bomboloni, triple chocolate brookie, and hachapuri without egg. The hacahpuri was glorified sweet cheese bread but it was so delicious. It was soft and cheesy. The bomboloni had a caramel crackle type topping which was tasty, and the cream was well made. The brookie was very chocolate-y and soft. It had just the right bite. Will return to try more! The lady was very helpful explaining the selections as it was our first time visiting. read more

4.5. I stopped in and grabbed a chocolate/almond croissant and a pastel de nata. Everything looked so tasty and I loved that I didn't have to choose between almond and chocolate for the croissant The pastel de nata was okay. I will definitely be back to try other goodies! read more

The staff were really nice, welcoming, and patient since it was my first time there. I got an iced matcha and it was really good. I asked for sugar free vanilla, but it was still too sweet for my liking. I gave it to my daughter who, of course, loved it. I also had a cheese croissant that was amazing! Croissants are my favorite pastries so I was very happy with it. I also tried some sort of crème brûlée pastry, but I honestly did not like that one. My kids didn't care for it too much either. They had plenty of other things to choose from to try so I can't wait to go back. All in all this was a really good bakery. Definitely give it a try if you're in the area. read more

We stopped here right after visiting the restaurant next store. They have lost of amazing pastries and coffee. We ordered the crème brûlée, Boston crème donut, and an eclair. The flavors of everything was amazing! The crème brûlée had an excellent sugar crust and creamy custard. Probably one of the best I've tried. The crème from the donut and the eclair was super tasty and not as sweet as others you may have tried. There is no lack of filling in the donut! It was probably a solid pound by itself. The service was quick and friendly. The inside is quite cozy and has places to sit and enjoy your pastries and coffee! I will come back to grab a coffee! read more

Came here for a sweet treat in the afternoon. One of the few bakery's in town open later in the afternoon. They had seating and a good amount of customers. The only downside is coming late means options are more limited, but still good. I got an iced coffee and a cookie I enjoyed. read more

A bakery I havnt tried yet? Sure why not. There is a select varieties of coffee and pastries here. Bakery has indoor and outdoor seatings. Staff is informative and quick to service. I came here just for the Bombolonis. I was so excited to try this. It wasnt as fresh cause I came in late. The bomboloni didnt taste what I expected to be. The donut is a bit stale. I tried the strawberry vanilla, guava and creme brulee. It was okay. Ill come early next time and try again. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this bakery. It is one of my favorite places in Raleigh and one of the best dessert places I've had. I get a croissant variation every time and have never been disappointed. Make sure you go early on the weekends because it gets very busy and they sell out of a lot. All the workers are so kind, there may be a line but it always moves fast. There are a few places to sit inside/outside or you can just take it to go! read more

We came here as a group of 5 to share a bunch of different pastries. You order at the counter and then they will bring it out to you at your table if you eat in. There is some limited seating inside for small parties as well as some outdoor seating. All of the pastries were good, but my favorites were the khachapuri and the mango mouse. My friends really liked the pistachio raspberry croissant. read more

Paul And Jack Bakery - Assorted pastries - Bakeries Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

When I left North Carolina three years ago, this location used to be a croissant spot. When we arrived in town for my son's graduation, he said that he wanted to take me to this same location for Mother's Day, and that it is an amazing bakery now with these warm, fresh donuts that I must try, stuffed with lots of different jams and fillings, sprinkled with sugar, called Bombolinis. Don't ask me twice. I'm always down for trying a bakery. We were lucky to find parking when we pulled up (private lot and street parking available), and the place was packed, understandably, for Mother's Day. There are patio seats and indoor seating, and the order line was stretching around the tables and out the door. We quickly grabbed a spot in line and I barely had time to snap photos, Lol. I wanna say those cinnamon rolls in the pastry case looked amazing, smothered in thick cream cheese. Our crowd ordered our lattes and pastry items. We chose to get our croissants warmed up and we took everything to-go. There are napkins and utensils by the door so you can grab them and throw them in your bag on your way out. We broke into our warmed spinach croissants and cheese croissants while on the road. My creamy spinach croissant was amazingly delicious. My sister also loved hers. My son said he should've gotten the spinach because it looked and tasted better than the cheese croissant. I will definitely order again. I had to save room because I knew I was trying my Bombolini soon. I chose the Raspberry Pistachio Bombolini. My daughter and sister chose the Blueberry Lemon Bombolini. Let me just say make sure you have a change of clothes or you are eating this stuffed donut with a lot of napkins because the fillings are jam-packed and juicy. They were running down my hands and I had to run into a bathroom to wash up. My sister had an incident with her Bombolini - it squirted all over her shirt right before her flight. Luckily, she had a change of clothes ready. Definitely worth it. Delicious fresh pastries, here with rotating and seasonal amazing flavor combinations. Ambience was loud, bustling, and happy on this Mother's Day Sunday morning. read more

Almond croissant was light, crunchy and full of nutty flavor and not overly sweet. heavenly! The space: Industrial area north of DT Raleigh with a Bohemian feel. Not crowded at midday. Diverse adults, saw one father and daughter. read more

Parking: Free street parking in this industrial area Ambiance: Plenty of seating, bright lighting, great for kiddos and families Coffee: They have every syrup flavor under the sun! Monin brand... It was actually impressive how many they have and the espresso was very strong not bitter! Pastries: Here's the thing... this shop is sugar-forward pastries. Nothing wrong with that but if you're looking for a dessert pastry this is the spot. They did have plain croissants and chocolate croissants but it looked a little underwhelming. The strawberry vanilla croissant was FILLED, delicious but also the jam tasted exactly like store - bought jam... I'm not sure they actually make the jam from scratch... The cinnamon roll felt very soft plush and doughy, for $8 I was expecting more of a special roll with like crispy edges or something. All of that aside, it's a solid spot with friendly staff and delicious sweets. read more

After hearing all the hype for Paul and Jack bakery, I was so happy to finally stop in and enjoy it. Paul and Jack bakery is tucked into a cozy corner of Raleigh. There's a small parking lot and some street parking nearby, so I was not worried about driving here. When I first walked in, I was greeted by a fully stocked and absolutely filled display case of baked goods and treats. The hardest choice was narrowing down a final selection. They also have coffee and other drinks that can be made from you. It's a busy place, but the line moved fairly quickly. While you wait, you can watch the bakers behind the glass make treats in real time. Definitely a very cool aspect of this cafe. I ordered a sesame drink, and it was okay. I also tried a pavlova for the first time, and I think it just wasn't for me. Overall, I give this place a 4 because I didn't love the two items that I ordered, but it might just be that I chose the wrong items. I will also say that tables here are limited, and it was really loud and noisy here. I'm hopeful though about my next visit, and will have to come back. read more

The Paul and Jack bakery was everything! I went three times on our short visit to Raleigh. Someone recommended another bakery and we went there as well but it honestly did not live up to Paul and Jack's. I even got my coworkers hooked! They still talk about it months later. Everything I had was exceptional. But the savory and sweet items were delicious. I wish we had one of these locations in Beaufort, South Carolina. read more

This was the sort of place that made me wonder if I was in the wrong neighborhood, as it was a dead old warehouse area where I stepped over broken glass on the way in. However, the interior left little doubt that I was in the right place. The spread was majestic; all very sweet and rich looking pastries of styles from across Europe, including Italian cream donuts and a Portuguese egg tart. I assume they were good, but having spent $100 on a massive spread of said pastries, they were ultimately devoured by other people before I even got a shot at them. read more

Sooooo delicious! The pistachio cream is to die for. Do not come here if you are on a diet, there's honestly not anything really "healthy" on the menu. Some of the items I'd say are stuffed too much with cream, I would be good with half of the amount, but to each their own! read more

Late Sunday afternoon and we were in the mood for some good pastries! The shop was nice and clean. Service was quick and everyone was friendly. We had a pastel de nata, Brooki Oreo, triple chocolate and a creme brulee cheesecake. For drinks we ordered a matcha, coffee and an iced latte with brown butter cookie flavor. Full disclosure husband is Portuguese and been to Portugal a couple of times! The pastel de nata the flavor was rich and creamy, I thought I was back in Lisbon. We do wish it was a bit more crunchy but overall we would order it again! The creme brulee cheesecake was amazing! Our daughters loved their oreo brooki! The drinks were good too! The place is cute and has a few tables inside and it's a welcoming place for families with small children. Next time we are in Raleigh we will make sure we come back!! There was so many other things we want to try! read more

I was so happy to discover Paul and Jack. The pastries are to die for! Everything I've tried has been so good ( a little too good, I have to watch myself lol). The coffee is also really good. I took one of my coffee snob friends there and he approved as well. The service is fast and the employees are really nice. It's a small place but it's clean and charming and has outdoor seating if it's a nice day. read more

I really wanted to try this place and saw how packed it was when I came here around 12 pm on a Saturday! However, the line went by quickly which was nice. I got to try a few pastries and would say they were all good! I definitely wasn't expecting their pastries to have a lot of cream inside, which I'm thankful for. I especially liked my pistachio raspberry donut, which was a good mix of sweet and sour. I also tried their iced latte with tiramisu syrup which was fine in my opinion. It's a cute spot with some seating inside and outside. read more

The service here was friendly and it was clean inside and good options for desserts. We tried a cake slice and a cookie and they were both really delicious. The cookie was the best. Oh we also had a lemon macaron and that was good too, nice and soft. Everything here though was super expensive. I'd say maybe slightly overpriced or maybe that's just how much bakeries are nowadays. I wish they would give you something for birthdays or have a reward program! That would be nice. I'd probably still be back though because it was good quality and pretty. read more

Very mid-level bakery. Yes, the aesthetics are cute and all, but the pastries are just average. I came here on a Saturday morning bright and early to try some of their fresh pastries. There were a ton of people inside already! The interior is beautiful, full of natural light and clean. We chose a couple of croissants to try, including the chocolate one, blueberry, and strawberry croissants, as well as a pistachio donut pastry that I forgot the name of. The croissants looked well made and uniform in shape, which is always a plus. After biting into it though, I was deterred from having another bite because of just how sweet it was. There was so much cream that it was making a huge mess to eat. The flavors were just average honestly, and I could only just taste sugar. It made for a cute food photo, but that's all. read more

Very delicious and beautiful spot! I love how much variety they had for grab and go pastries. I am a sucker for a pavlova, so I knew I had to try thier's. It was super tasty, maybe just a little too much whipped yogurt on top. I also tried the mango mouse and that was quite tasty as well. Iced coffee was the perfect accompaniment to the pastry deliciousness. Will definitely head in again! read more

Intentionally decorated cafe with amazing pastries and decent coffee. Didn't try much besides a cheese croissant and flavored latte but service was great and fairly quick.

This new bakery has a plethora of options for every dessert craving. I wanted something light and fruity, so I went with the triple berry lemon croissant, and boy, was it filled. We cut the croissant to share, and it overflowed with what appeared to be lemon custard and berry compote. It satisfied my craving and was almost too sweet to finish in one sitting, so I'd recommend getting a cup of coffee or sharing. I also tried the mango passionfruit cheesecake, which was my first time experiencing that flavor combination in a cheesecake, and it was surprisingly good. The layer of mango passionfruit is just on top, so it's not mixed into the cheesecake. They had numerous pastries when we visited around 3 p.m., so I'm not sure if they keep many of the pastries for the next day, but their variety was almost overwhelming. They also offered chocolate mousse cakes, brookies, cinnamon rolls, honey cakes, panna cotta, tiramisu, and more. Not to mention, they have an eclectic drink menu. There are a few tables inside and outside for seating, but taking them to go is also a good option. read more

Chocolate ganache croissant and lemon and jam croissant were perfect. Wow! The layers and crunch along with the smooth fillings were a treat. Service was superb. Anna greeted us warmly and the barista was very busy but moved thru the orders quickly. Loved the music and simple decor. Seating was subpar (wire/metal benches without cushions) so hopefully they improve on that front. Parking was easy. Good value, too, given the high quality of food and service. read more

Delicious pastry shop specializing in rich, filling croissaints like chocolate ganache, pistachio raspberry, and other seasonal flavors. A huge variety, including savory too. The croissant itself is flaky and very buttery! They also do a bunch of other baked goods, like honey cake (seems like there is a dash of Eastern European flair in some of the desserts they make) and cheesecake! Lots of varieties of cheesecake actually. I had the baklava cheesecake and it was delicious. The baklava base tasted like a very high quality baklava, and the cheesecake for that one was on the softer side and very rich and creamy, with a yummy sour cream tang. read more

Wonderful pastries, skillfully prepared and excellent coffee options. The latte is fantastic!
