Smith's Bakeries - A cake that Smiths Bakery made for me. - Donuts Near Me - Bakersfield, California

The lady today was so rude. She saw me standing in line and proceeded to ignore me and attended everyone else but me which I was so confused bc she saw me in line. When she did attend me the ugliest attitude ever. read more

Smith's is an old school bakery. They have some classic sugar cookies- pick a smiley face or a happy sun. They also have a beehive pastry that's perfect for breakfast for the whole family. Get there early because they sell out quick! read more

So many memories. Smile cookies, champagne cake with pink curls. Smiths always tries me back to childhood birthday parties and after school treats. The staff are helpful and kind. Parking is easy. Every time I swing through Bakersfield it's a must stop. read more

Stopped in last minute hoping to find a bday cake, they didn't have anything that was reasonably affordable. I don't mind paying but $25 for a chocolate cake the size of a large brownie. (I've ordered them before and they're good but no way not that good), So I ordered 4 donuts. I know they're good it's Smith's. My issue is this location make me feels ba-hum bug!! It seems the lady was annoyed with my presence and questions. Very unenthusiastic about anything! Also seems to be just a preorder and pick up location not much product in the cases. read more

See all

What can I say, I'm a Bakersfield homegrown girl. :-) Cookies, thumbprints, and champagne cake are part of our families special moments!

Not a big fan of this bakery taste like cheap ingredients. You can get better quality at Vons.

This Smith's bakery is inside the little mart at the Sinclair station. They don't carry a lot of quantity of anything so it's hit and miss. Their products are always good and appreciated by the office staff read more

Love Smiths! I've been purchasing their products since my 34 year old daughter was a small child and now I get the thumb prints and other goodies for my granddaughters!!! read more

Best cookie experience! We unknowingly planned a bridal shower on Easter weekend. We went in Saturday to pick up the cookies and she very kindly told us that on holidays the deliveries are often a little later than normal (makes sense). We let her know we needed them to set up for a bridal shower. She immediately got on the phone to find out where the delivery driver was to give us an ETA. Honestly, this was something she had zero control over yet she had two phones calling/on hold with different locations trying to be helpful. So nice! She had the most amazing attitude, which is hard to find The other sweet gal helped everyone who came in while she was on the phone. They really worked together! We were super appreciative! The delivery came while we were waiting. It was perfect. Everyone was so helpful! Thank you read more

Smith's Bakery - YUM Smith's always satisfies my sweet tooth, either with a yummy donut or cookie (thumb prints are my favorite). For my birthday my friend got me a giant pink donut saying "Happy Birthday Jillian". It was so so good! If you aren't a sweets person, they also offer homemade croissants and bagels. They have tons of great locations throughout Bakersfield, but this one is closest to me. Smith's is a must when I am in Bakersfield! read more

Smith's Bakeries - My giant donut surprise - Donuts Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Good champagne cake and smile face cookies and the people who work there are very polite

Smith's Bakery is by far the best there is. They have been around for as many years as I can remember. They have multiple locations throughout town now and I've been to all of them. They take pride in the quality of their baked goods. Service is always great at each location. When I was a kid, Mom ALWAYS got me their Pink Champagne cake for my birthday cake. It remains my favorite cake to this day. It is so delicious and each year since I moved away, I've missed that cake. It's not enough of a reason to drive to or visit Bakersfield, but, since my parents still live here, I can get my fix every now and then. Smith's also has a variety of cookies. Their smiley face sugar cookies and the thumb print cookies are to die for. One cannot go to Smith's without getting some. In fact, I may get some to take to my co-workers. Keep baking! I'll see you on my next visit! read more

Smith's Bakeries - Pink Champagne Cake - Donuts Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Well today was not a good day for Smith's at Brookside. I am in the store usually twice a day. Don't always purchase at Smith's but maybe every 5th time in the store - always on Saturdays for sure! Today I make my request and after it being bagged and placed on the counter the person (Crystle??) waiting on me turned and walked away, without comment, and engaged in a long conversation with their delivery guy. When she returned I asked "what just happened" and she replied I needed to talk to our delivery guy. Well, after asking way she walked away and left me standing there (there are to counter people and I was the only customer at the moment. She became very defensive and at at point I told her she was very rude. She then said she was trying to apologize (well in an off handed way obviously) so I handed her the money and she turned and walked to the cash register, mumbling but turned and said "it's only a donut". I immediately asked for my money back and walked away. Customer service really is dead...sad to see great old businesses die by way of rude employees Won't be going back there. read more

When I'm in Southwest Bakersfield craving Smith's Bakery and the car is in need of gasoline, then I head on over to this location. Smith's Bakery has a nice little spot inside Brookside Market. Smith's is one of the best bakeries in town, and just about everything they make is delicious. You're sure to find something inside to satisfy your sweet tooth. Don't come in too late though, cause they'll be sold out of a lot of goodies by then. read more

I ordered pink champagne cupcakes Friday for my friend's birthday today. Got a call early this morning saying they didn't have enough cupcakes for my order. What?!? The reason I ordered last week was to make sure I got the treats that my friend calls "cupcakes to die for!" I showed up early to pick up my order. I was ready to run to another Smith's if my order wasn't complete. The nice woman working there said she was able to fill my order completely. Whew! Not sure why those cupcakes are so hard to get. Worth the hassle though. My friend was very happy with them. read more

I love Smith's cookies, brownies, thumb prints, and champagne cake. At this particular location, there was a slight delay in our order and they apologized and surprised us with a box of free cookies. This was completely unexpected as we understand the holidays are a busy time, but the gesture was greatly appreciated. Thank you Smith's for being the Bakers of Bakersfield! read more

I really miss this place. Beside the typical assorted pastries that my coworkers and I used to eat on a weekly basis, I LOVE the yellow smiley face cookies and thumbprints with icing and sprinkles. I turn into the Cookie Monster when I'm near this place. No bakery I've been to anywhere since does their cookies as good as Smith's. Buttery with a nice texture, and the best icing. With their other items (pies, cakes, breads) they don't disappoint either. This is the bakery I measure all other against. read more

The champagne cake is absolutely fantastic! I don't really like cake that much and I could prob eat an entire cake to myself, it's that good! I also love the cookies they are a staple when you have a sweet tooth! read more

I LOVE Smith's donuts and cookies to pieces, and was completely satisfied with what I bought when I visited this particular location at Brookside Deli, but since the teenage girl helping me had the worst attitude about everything I asked for, I shall not be returning to this one. :) I'd rather drive 12 miles to Union avenue and buy from the nice ladies there. (Smith's products are so consistently good that I can't go below 3 stars, but this one's customer service needs some tweaking) read more

I love this bakery ....the 1st time I stopped was a Long time ago when I started using Yelp....the owners granddaughter was the worst costumer service ever...but I went again & a Hispanic older lady was so nice...she even gave me a sample...the 3rd time I went I went to pick up a champagne cake for my sisters bday....BEST Champagne cake I have ever tasted....my sister loved it....& we both are bakers...so if we say it's a good bakery we mean it:) read more

I usually have a good experience at Smith's but I wasn't happy with this particular time at Brookside Deli. I first walked over while waiting for a coffee at the deli to be made. The woman didn't notice me but I got a phone call so I walked away. When I returned another customer was being helped and I waited behind the other customer. When the customer left, the lady went back to reviewing receipts or something. I was baffled as to how she didn't notice me. I know I could have spoken up but I was really curious how long it would take her to notice me. I didn't time it but it was a very long time and I eventually just spoke up. When I asked her a question and didn't hear her mask-muffled response, she seemed to get attitude because she closed her eyes and sighed before repeating. read more

Yum! They have some bomb walnut brownie!

I like this place for my sugar fixes. It would be five stars but sometimes they sell you yesterday's cupcakes, and their cupcakes are pretty pricey anyhow, and certainly overpriced if stale. In thier defense, when I bring the cupcakes back, they cheerfully "make it right" usually I change for something else. The ladies in this store are very nice, they convey that they appreciate your patronage. I am usually here six or eight times a month, or however many times I fill up my truck.. read more

I love love love their champagne cake! Wow so much better than Sweet surrenders omg yum! Also their banana nut cake with custard filling and whipped cream frosting is to die for! U can't go wrong with them two choices try it and you can see for yourself.. read more

I hate the feeling of walking in this place....especially the old lady behind the gas station counter, she is always so grumpy. But, it is the closest Smith's I got to the house, an if I am really lucky I get there on the day they make champagne cake cupcakes. Without those I'd probably never to think to even stop in. read more

The people behind the counter have always been nice to me. I enjoy the cookies, but they're also somewhat bland. I make better cookies, in my opinion. So, I only buy from here on a whim, every once in a while. Sometimes, it's just nice to see one of their smiling cookies; it seriously cheers me up each time I get one. :) read more

We always stop for cookies after our visit to the library and most days the cookies taste like they are a day old. However, this does not stop us from purchasing the delicious smiths cookies! The endless frosting on the cookies makes up for the dryness of day old cookies. read more

Wide variety of pastries and a great selection of cookies. Smiley face cookies are my favorite by far

These are the worst doughnuts I've ever had. Texture, taste . . . everything is terrible. If grocery-store doughnuts are inedible, I put these a step below grocery store doughnuts. Disgusting. People have told me that other confections from this establishment are good, but if your doughnuts suck, why bother? read more

Today I decided to stop by and pick up a few happy face cookies for the people in the office. The customer service was not as good as it normally is but the young lady made me smile when she said that she had some of the cookies I wanted in the back. The cookies were fresh and delicious. They definitely put a smile on my face and my co-workers. read more

I really enjoy this bakery. I usually go to the one at Brookside Deli. Great for diet cheat days!

This is my favorite bakery. Whenever I'm in town, I usually buy the yellow smiley face cookies. I wish they had a Smith's in LA..
