YES, stop here at this unassuming little bakery. I wish it was closer to home! The service was EXCELLENT, everyone there happy, and so lovely! We got there later in the afternoon, and selections were a bit picked over, but cookies for $0.70 each - count me in! We got about 8 cookies and a couple pastries. I liked all the cookies and wish I had gotten more for my freezer! Definitely a must hit when in Denton! read more

Ill admit i only ever was blessed with items from this spot as gifts, never as a place i personally visited. That said, this place is home to THE BEST key lime pie I have ever eaten, bar none. And, for whatever it is worth, there is no dessert option i enjoy more than key lime pie. Consider this spot highly recommended. (Try the key lime pie, it's fantastic) read more

This spot came highly recommended so we were excited to try it out. My friend and i purchased a selection of cookies, croissants and bread. The croissants and bread did not taste super fresh which was disappointing with so much hype about the place. Would vibe back and try other items if i was in the area again. The staff were all wonderful. read more

The smell of this place when you first walk in is goosebumps worthy. The care that they put into each pastry into each loaf of bread into every cookie every delicious sweet treat is amazing. The service is so sweet and like their cookies not too sweet or overwhelming. Just patient enough to hear everything you're wanting they even remember things you loved when you go regularly I adore the wonderful treats here they have full loaves of some of your favorites and they have the most wonderful pastries at an affordable price. They open early so great for college kids wanting a sweet snack before a day of school. Or someone going in early for work read more

Love it here. The people that work here are always friendly!! I enjoy popping in for some little pastries.

Ravelin Bakery at 416 S Elm St, Denton, TX 76201 This is a very special neighborhood bakery . It is a place you have to come in and try out the different selections. I probably minimally come in here once a week and indulge in a fresh baked treat. The customer service is always good and friendly. You definitely get what you pay for in the quality and selection at this location. I would highly recommend putting this on your spot for a local bakery even if you live as far as San Antonio read more

A lot can change in 7 years... add this review to this list!! Over the years we have tried many bakeries across the DFW area, and Ravelin is by far the best bakery in DFW as far as consistency, quality, and price. 7 years ago I complained about the pricing of some of their items - through the years and into 2025, pricing has not changed - a true testament of how well Ravelin knows not only their business, but also their customer base. I would like to extend and apology to the Ravelin ownership for my snootiness in my previous review! All that said - if you are looking for quality baked goods, Ravelin is the best place to go to in DFW. Go early if you are looking for bread, because they sell out quick! read more

Fresh bread and pastry - so delicious! My wife and I will be stopping back by soon to place an order for her office - the people she works with work hard and deserve a break with some awesome pastries. read more

This is a wonderful bakery. They do things like a European bakery. You will find great products. I love the chocolate almond croissant and the chocolate pecan macaroons are fantastic. I also tried a loaf of the Breakfast Bread which has apples nuts and whole flour. It is not sweet but has a wonderful flavour. Go early before they sell out!!! read more

These cookies DID NOT make it til Christmas. We tried but the were sooo good !! Moved to town 7 months ago and didn't know about this place, found it in some Instagram comments. They were saying this was the best bakery around town, and we agree. read more

Great little bakery. Nothing like it anywhere near where I live. Going is a real treat - literally. Their breads are tremendous. You can taste the freshness. Lots of good choices as well. Every day, they bake a different assortment. Pro tip: Learn their baking schedule. Their pastries are also very good. Can't go wrong here, and their people are always so very helpful. read more

There are not enough words to say how great this bakery is. We always get their cookies, though the strawberry lemonade is the best. The croissants and other pastries are always wonderful and the staff is always so friendly. read more

Best bakery and worth the hour drive to Denton! I used to stop by in the morning before class and now that I no longer live in Denton it's a special treat I get about twice a year. Muffins, croissants, cookies, breads and so much more fresh baked goods to choose from, but get there early, these items go fast. read more

Loved everything I bought which was a bunch of cookies, cream puffs, and a pain au chocolate. Everything was absolutely delicious. This will definitely be a staple place. read more

Easily the best proper bakery you can find in Denton. The raspberry butter cake was delicious! The only complaint I have was the cake itself was kinda dry. The fruit swirl and frosting on top were the real workhorse of the meal. The oat my gosh oatmeal creme pies are to die for! Nothing beats a freshly made from scratch cookie and creme filling! The cream had a touch of lemon that was subtle but delightful in its presence The oatmeal was hearty in flavor, but chewy soft for its cookie interior. The butter cookies are good, but they arent exploding with flavor compared to the other items I tried. These would go great with tea or coffee though. read more

the workers were so helpful and friendly! the almond cherry tart was my favorite but everything had a great flavor. read more

Cute little bakery! I got a banana loaf and it was really good! The chocolate chip cookies are pretty good too! Definitely a cute spot to go to for a little baked good read more

The aroma when you walk in is so lovely. My first time to the shop and right away I am greeted with smiles and a kind greeting. The person who waited on me is so patient and thoughtful. I got a few cookies, a lemon, ginger, scone, and a pastry with cinnamon and pecan. I've tried a few of the items and the ingredients taste so amazing. I will definitely be back. read more

Welcome as soon as you walk in - like they have been waiting for you to come in the door. Then the aroma - kinda like bread & cookies at the same time - hits you. Certainly the best bread you can find in North Texas is here at Ravelin in Denton. Do yourself a favor & get some cookies too! read more

Croissant was pretty good, deserts were meh for the price. The bakery by Ingles and Linnybird Cupcakes in Lake Dallas both have better deserts. The baguette was very good but for $8, it wasn't really better than the one I got at Kroger yesterday for $2.99. read more

Great bakery. Great customer service. Highly recommend. Bought pies for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Extremely satisfied.

Everything delicious. Croissants, baguettes, sourdough, biscotti, everything. Oh, and the breakfast loaf and bread.

Every time I visit Denton I make sure to stop by here. Someone told me about it years ago when I was in collage, but they waited until I was about to graduate so I didn't get to enjoy it as much as I could have. There baked goods are always delicious and fresh. Definitely a must try. read more

I've been coming here for years for delectables. They are always friendly folks. I like to eat at least one treat before leaving the parking lot. read more

Friendly and helpful staff if you have any questions. The Nutella crisps are AMAZING. They said it's the first time they've made them and it's absolutely incredible. It's super light and fluffy with lots of buttery goodness. We ate one in the car and immediately went back in to buy more. Key lime pie is delicious!! The creme brûlée's flavor is very good, only downside was the too sugary part wasn't hard at all. The Russian tea cookies weren't my favorite. They were dry and I struggled to get them down. The chocolate croissant was alright, but the pinwheel cookie was great. The French bread has a really fluffy texture inside and the outside is a bit tough, but still great. Ordering is a bit chaotic since there's no signs or a form of a line. People just walk in and then walk around the display cases so there's no track of who is ready to order or who was next. read more

Been looking for a local shop with good original crossant and I think I found it. I picked up two original and a chocolate and it was delicious with the crunch and flakes flying around. The staff is also very nice and pricing is fair for the freshness. read more

This place is so nice and thankfully, well priced. My favorite snacks here are the fruit danish, especially with fresh cherries. The crème brûlée is another I have to get each time, and my spouse makes me get my own now because they don't want to share it it's just too good. I usually like the lemon bars a lot, but this last time 09/15 they were really dry, thin, and firm. it tasted burnt and rubbery )): so maybe avoid those for now, but hopefully that was just an off bunch. For a scratch bakery I understand, sometimes my own recipes don't always come out the same and that's just baking for ya. I like the texture of the spinach and feta croissants, it is well-cooked and just right. They have a microwave so that you can heat your goods as you please before you leave the store, as there is a self-service area. Here you will also find napkins, and a coffee machine. In one of the display cases, they have cookies, brownies, croissants, macaroons, thumbprint/jam cookies, chocolate shortbread, and all types of good stuff. In the other, they have irresistibles. The crème brûlée, cheese cake slices, pies and pie slices, cakes, tarts, the whole nine-yards. Finally, they also have fresh baked breads and baguettes of all types, such as Bavarian Rye and sourdoughs. Seriously worth checking out, folks!! read more

This is my second time in this fantastic and fun little bakery! The first go around was all pastry's... no pictures sadly... but trust when I say D-VINE! I've now had almost all of the cookies, which melt in your mouth while retaining the snap they need to have! The flavors, the texture, the SMELL EVEN... 10 out of 10 on these little, yet very hearty, delights! Every time you walk in, no matter how big the line may be (oh, don't worry, these humans keep the line moving with speed, suggestions, and a smile), you're greeted warmly by the staff and, whom I can only assume is the owner, in the kitchen just working hisself as hard as can be! They are always happy to give a personal favorite recommendation, inform you on the ingredients, and assist with anything you might ask... A++ and a gold star for being amazing! Though it's a tight space, they have it organized just right to not feel overwhelmed when the people flow in to get their fresh goodies! The only thing I could see as an improvement would be an upgrade to the cold drink cooler. It's a small standalone off to the side and I think they could benefit from a double with one side completely focused on coffee selections... otherwise what you would expect from a delicious bakery! My recommendation is to get there early... I will NOT save your spot in line if they're running out of the local favorites... but I may just buy you one if you're a good Human!!! read more

Ravelin Bakery - ALL OF THE COOKIES!!! - Bakeries Near Me - Denton, Texas

I spent I appreciate the most about this bakery is the value. Even though the baked goods and desserts are low in price, they still taste good. I can spend seven or eight dollars and leave with a bunch of treats. At other bakeries I spent seven or eight dollars and leave with one or two items LOL. I really like the carrot cake, the creme brulee, and the shortbread cookies. I also tried this pumpkin dessert that was sooooo yummy. I believe it is seasonal so I would go there asap before they get rid of it. The only reason they didn't get five stars is due to the setting/ambience and a lack of variety when it comes to cakes. I think I've only seen two kinds of cakes. They should have more because the one I tasted is so good. When it comes to the setting I can't quite put my finger on it but something is missing. Outside of those two elements the bakery is great. You should go! read more

I use to like this place, but then a male came up to me from the preparation side of the bakery, just when I was going to order and told me "We don't allow dogs in here." Mind you, I was holding my 2 lb. teacup chihuahua in my right arm. Nowhere do they have a sign posted up about dogs. I don't think it mattered that I have spent over $468.09 in the past 3 months at this place. (According to my bank statements.) It is too bad that this place doesn't put any kind of signs for dog owners, yet refuse to serve you if you have a dog with you. What is the bid deal? My dog is an emotional support dog. I have experienced 2 deaths within a week time span, and this business refused to allow me to spend my money there because I have a 2lb chihuahua in my arm? If he was so concerned with "hair", no one there wears a hair net. The desserts here are "ok", but the sourdough is far too hard and turns into a rock after 1 day. I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

I love this bakery so much. The people are friendly, patient if you are struggling with what to get, and patient if you have questions. The food is so good. Fresh baked every day with daily and seasonal specials. It's always a pleasure to stop by and I've never had anything I didn't like. I've made it my mission to try as much as I can, too. They also have some merch and a local potter who sells small pieces and jewelry, which is nice. There is no place to sit and eat, just as a heads up. It's a pick up and go kind of place, but if you're in the area and don't swing by to get something, you're missing out. read more

Amazing bread, cookies and cake. Service outstanding, great group of people working there. Best bread for miles around!

I went in for my mother in law to grab a few loaves of jalapeño cheddar bread, only available on Wed. Wow! This place is divine! All sorts of pastries, pies, muffins and a rotating menu of daily breads. Great for gifts. Seriously who wants another candle? Bring your friend a loaf of fresh bread. They will love you and remember that treat. Definitely popping in every time I pass by. read more
