I love Fancy Pastry. It's truly a hidden gem (unless you work or live around Lexington, and then…read moreit's a staple!) They always have cakes in the case that they will write on for you, round or rectangle. They have single serve cake squares, brownies, cookies, cupcakes, doughnuts, and so much more! Their icing is a type that people LOVE. It's soft, but has that thin layer of crunch on the outside. They also stick to plain vanilla icing and cake, unless it's a special order or a seasonal item, from what I have found. The best thing is the doughnut holes, but get them filled with icing! So yummy!! There is always a line, but you get in and out pretty quickly. There are multiple girls working at all times and they work quickly, but make sure to take their time with each customer. The shop looks old. When you go in there is minimal decoration, and the cases look like they are from the 70's, but don't let that turn you away. They have such delicious items, they don't need all the fluff and fancy stuff!

Love Fancy Pastry for their pastries and donut holes. Their cakes and cupcakes aren't my favorite…read morebut they always come through when you need a last minute themed order. The mouthwatering buttercream is a little addicting. This service is always quick and easy. Located in an older building, clean and sweet! they stay very busy!

Love this place! Has to be the best bakery in Greensboro. Just got gelato this time but what a…read moretreat. The service is always friendly. It's small and cute inside and they also offer outdoor seating. It's limited hours so make sure you check before you go. It's right around the corner from me but it's worth driving across town to try if you live on the other side!

I don't want to sound like a sourpuss here, among all the glowing reviews, especially for a shop…read morethat is clearly independently and lovingly run. But, I do need to advise anyone who is unwaveringly accustomed to the Italian and Portuguese bakeries of New England (at least in the 1980s), and similar places, the pastries here aren't quite at that level. The pastries I tried were a little dense and shriveled, with a slight sour taste (which could've also been due to some uneven baking, erring on the overbaked side). In an apple filled item, the small amount of apples weren't quite soft and sweet enough, as well. Overall, the pastries were nearer to those of a very talented home baker than the polished work of a traditional professional pastry shop. Of course, for this specific region, this will be an enjoyable stop. With that in mind, I'm not surprised there are long lines; it must be very exciting to encounter a shop like this for the first time. There are very few other bakeries making pastries of this type, much less good ones. It's very, very hard to make excellent pastries. But, if you come from a land rich with bakeries, just set your expectations appropriately. Plus, there is the critical difference between New England and North Carolina bakeries: Would you rather have pastries that are sensational from sullen and unpredictably snappish people? ...or pastries that are decent and charming from laid-back and friendly people?

This was my second visit. I had more time to look over all the sweets and bread this trip. When you…read moreenter there is a stand with big trays and tongs to put your selections on as you shop. You then take them to the counter and they box them up. There is a huge selection. Selling the baked goods by the piece is awesome as you can try so many different items. Everything we got was delicious. The person working the counter didn't speak English but was very nice. After I paid I saw they had homemade tortillas. An excuse to come back soon! I highly recommend this bakery.

My wife was moved to tears when she told the owner how much she appreciated it, and the owner simply smiled. While I didn't tear up, my mouth was watering at the sight of these baked goods. The bakery had display cases filled with different pastries, as well as several rolling racks full of pastries, including loaves of bread and cookies. We followed a large family's approach to shopping by grabbing one of the large silver trays and filling it with a variety of items. In the end, we ended up with around 10 items that only cost $7.00 - what a bargain, and they were delicious as well. Don't be intimidated to go in and get a lot of great treats. We love supporting local businesses. Even though the owners did not speak English, they were very friendly, and I was happy to use the "muchas gracias" that I know after my purchase.
