Every time we go, we try something new and it is always good! My husband likes their donuts, I go for a pastry mostly, and my mom likes their cakes. We have ordered cupcakes here for birthdays and it is a hit. Pro tip is to sign up for texts so you know when special flavors or deals are happening. Wide selection in store to grab and go and parking is super easy! read more

Very disappointed in the reduced inventory and "empty feeling" lately every time I go to Taylor's. I'm not impressed with the direction of new ownership. Thumbs Down! read more

My neighbors are getting married this weekend, and I got it into my head that I needed to gift them petits fours with hearts on them. I don't know where I got this idea, but it seemed like the perfect casual wedding gift to receive from a neighbor. And once I got it into my head, I was determined to make it happen! My search for these mini cakes led me to Taylor's Bakery. They have a selection of petits fours available in their bakery case (Easter themed right now). I ordered my desserts online to be picked up the next day, because I wanted hearts. The petits fours are 2 inches by 2 inches, which is much larger than I thought they would be. I was thinking they'd be bite-sized, but they're more like three or four bites. When I showed up to pick up my order, they didn't have them ready, and I think they had lost my order, but they quickly added hearts to some blank petits fours. All of their petits fours are the same almond-scented white cake with a thin coconut icing. I was hoping they'd have a filling or something in them (a layer of jam would have been nice!), but no, they're just cake and icing. I got a flower-decorated petits four for myself to eat in my car as I drove home (aka the best way to eat anything), and it was so soft and melted in my mouth. It was the kind of cake that didn't even require chewing. Yum! They are known for their cakes here, and I can see why. They also have a big selection of other baked goods, like bars (raspberry and lemon), brownies, donuts, Danishes, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls and lots more. I picked up two cute Easter cookies for my kids, which were decorated with blue icing and jelly bean eggs. Taylor's Bakery has been an Indianapolis institution for 112 years! Which means you need to visit this bakery at least once. While I was there, I saw several people come in and order all kinds of goodies. They had a steady stream of customers. I love that Taylor's was hoppin' on a weekday afternoon. read more

What happened to Taylor's Bakery? I used to love this place, ordered from here literally for every family gathering. I pre-ordered days ago for pickup a sheet cake, cookie, and Mothers Day cookie box for pickup at 1pm. At 2pm swung by to pickup. Waited 45+ minutes in line only to be told at 3pm my order wasn't ready. Maybe another hour or so they were not sure. I asked if I could just pickup whatever was ready...nothing. Not even 1 chocolate chip cookie. No part of my order was ready, including the Mothers Day box they advertised. How can you accept pre-orders with pickup times and have nothing two hours after the scheduled pickup time?! Or, if such a mess, contact people to let them know. You expect your cakes to be ready for your celebration, so it's disappointing that you can no longer count on Taylor's. read more

I stopped by their location on Allisonville Rd Saturday and left because they had very little product available. I then stopped by today and was surprised to find that about half their cases were empty and there was very little in the racks behind the counter. I spoke with one of the associates and was informed that the new business model includes less product in store in order to reduce spoilage. She suggests placing an order before coming in. Since the new owners took over I've seen prices rise (but of course they are everywhere) and less cakes, donuts, breads, etc.. available. They were a destination shop for us but now I doubt we'll be going out of my way to head over only to be confronted with empty shelves. There are other alternatives and we'll need to adjust. Disappointing. read more

Yo was amazing! She communicated extradorinarily well about all the logistics. I was taking this cake in for a customer celebration and the customer was thoroughly impressed with the attention to detail. read more

Taylor's Bakery is a true staple in Indy, and I've loved this place since I was a child. We typically get our birthday cakes from here because, "It has to be from Taylor's." The cakes are always delicious, and the service is consistently on point and the staff is sooo nice and welcoming. However, I've had a couple of experiences recently that have been a bit frustrating. On the past two occasions I've gone to order a cake, the order has been wrong when I've gone to pick it up. I think the communication between the person taking the order and the pastry chef could be improved, as I know a couple other people who have gone through the same thing. It's a bit of a letdown, especially when you're expecting a 5 minute pick up order that turns into 20 because they have to redo your order the way it should have been. That said, I'm hopeful they can address this issue, because aside from this hiccup, I have no other complaints! read more

Taylor's has been in our neighborhood for years. The minute you walk in the door, if not a line, you are welcomed and they are ready to take your order. My favorite is angel food cake and iced sugar cookies. Although I would never complain, some of the bakery items are too sweet for me. One good thing is they often have samples out for you to try That way, you can decide for yourself on the sweetness. It is always clean, cases show no finger prints and the waitstaff always looks fresh and ready to serve. Would I go there again? For sure, I will be picking up a candy cane birthday angel food cake next week read more

I live out of state & ordered my nephew's graduation cake from Taylor's Bakery. Friday afternoon I called to see if the cake was ready for pickup, I said "Hi my name is (blank, blank), I was calling to see if the cake was ready for pickup. The woman who answered the phone responded with "How would I know?! " So I asked if she could check, repeating my name. The call was on speakerphone and my large family (who live in Indianapolis) heard her. This was our first time ordering from Taylor's Bakery and were really shocked by the snarky disrespect. But since we were picking up food from you, we opted to not say anything at the time. The cake was good the online ordering process was easy but I would highly suggest that you work on your customer service. Thank you. read more

Awesome donuts, the cinnamon roll/bun is amazing and the alligator tails are like tasting the best childhood memories... 5 stars easy!

I guess I just don't understand the draw. The baked goods were dry and seemed day old to me. Service was great and the people working were very sweet! I liked that they tied the box with string. The eclair was the highlight. The turtle bar was dry and unappealing to me. Raspberry bar at least had more flavor. Maybe I got the wrong things, but I was not impressed. read more

Great decorated cakes, cookies and love their iced angel food cakes! Great customer service!

I have had baked goods from Taylor's and they have always been good but today was the first day that I went to their store. A Friday afternoon so there were other customers but it wasn't so busy that I felt rushed. The lady at the counter was friendly and pleasant with me. I ordered donuts and danish and a couple eclairs. This is definitely a solid place to go for baked goods and should be the season for them to have key lime pies. I didn't see them in the case but have had them before and they are delicious. That big flat glazed donut in the back of that pic of treats on the plate was amazing and would be dangerous around any lover of sweets! read more

This bakery was sssssoooooo good. I wish we had one in Northern California. The customer service was great. The options were overwhelmingly awesome, and the flavor of everything (yes I had like 5 items, don't judge me) were delicious. Go see them if you haven't. They will not disappoint. read more

I have been buying treats from Taylor's for over 15 years. You are greeted as soon as you walk in the door. Even if there's a line, you will get waited on quickly. I find this place very nostalgic. From baked goods to ice cream you can get your sweet tooth taken care of. I always get their seasonal decorated cookies. I do seem to think that the icing recipe has changed. It's not as creamy and soft as it used to be. The last couple of times I've got cookies the icing seemed hard and without as much flavor. Their cakes are delicious! If you want to order a custom cake, you will need to go in and pre-order. They have a lot of photos to choose your desired design. read more

The customer service was top notch! It's been many years since I've been here. It used to be the best bakery in town!! I heard they have new owners. Unfortunately, the pastries were just not good today. Ingredients tasted cheap and old/stale. It's sad when this happens. I made a special trip and everything...... read more

Not sure if it is me getting older or what, however the donuts are average and nothing above and beyond shops near by. $2 a donut seems a tad steep. Again, me getting older. I enjoy what they have to offer but other places are offering the same and at cheaper prices. I liked their red velvet donuts and they don't have them on a regular. I liked the key lime pretzels but they don't have them anymore. They have ice cream, which is over priced, and they now have pot pies. I can't comment on the pot pies, just wanted others to be aware they are being sold now. A lot going on now at Taylor's Bakery. read more

Taylor's has been around since 1962. The history of the founder, Mr. Dennis Taylor, is so rich and remarkable. The Taylor family has been providing great food and service since 1913. In, 2005, my dear late mother-in-law, said the ONLY place she would buy my husband and my wedding came from was Taylor's. I still remember stopping by in 2015, with my then fiancè for a wedding cake sample. The owner served us different varieties of delicious and most samples. After finally deciding on a cake, I mentioned how I do not like angel food cake as we were looking at their display case. The owner, with confidence, said "you will love ours. Here, take this home." He gave me a free loaf of angel food cake. Guess what? It was indeed the best I ever had. Stop by Taylor's Bakery. The service is wonderful, the selection of bakery goods is delicious, and the history is rich. read more

Taylor's Bakery - Dozen with yeast and cakes - Bakeries Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

It had been awhile since my last order from Taylor's so I was excited to return for a birthday cake for my son. We're big fans of anything almond flavored over here so we had their vanilla cake that has a tinge of almond in the batter. I opted for a smooth round cake so I could add my own decorations at home. The cake and ordering process were both super smooth I cakes in two days before picking it up and preferred over the phone. I fought the urge to buy any donuts or treats while inside. Overall, a tasty and great experience at one of Indy's classics. read more

Good service and products. Their cakes are my go to for special occasions. They will help with ideas and recommendations.

I am a long time customer. As I was standing (first) in line, another customer was going out with her arms full of bags and boxes, so I stepped out of line to open the door for her because the man in line behind me obviously wasn't going to help. After I opened the door for her and got back in line, the older sales clerk (she's been there for many years) talked to the man behind me and assumed that he was next and implied that I had cut in front of him in line. She still seemed to question me after I said that I was next. The man did not disagree with me. Another clerk became available and he went to her. I explained to the older clerk that I had opened the door for the lady with her arms full and she thanked me for doing that but failed to apologize for embarrassing me. I worked in retail for several years and the appropriate way to handle this is to let the customers decide who is next - she should know that. And when I got home, I discovered that the chocolate chip cookies that I purchased were stale. Not a good experience. I'll try the new bakery across the street next time. 11/14/15 7:45 a.m read more

I love supporting locally own businesses, and this bakery has a long history in Indy and another location in Fishers. I like to get a dozen donuts to take to work, and they have boxes already made up which makes it very quick and easy. They have a nice display of donuts, cakes, breads, cookies and other sweet treats. I want to order a birthday cake at some point. Staff has always been nice, and the donuts are always fresh and delicious. I love the Indy location, and it is one of my favorite places to stop. The only drawback is they don't open until 8am, but a lot of times they are open by 7:30am or so. read more

I picked up the cake for my daughter's birthday and it had a huge crack down the center of it. I asked the staff if they could fix it because I paid over $50 for the cake and they refused to correct their mistake. Later on, on of our guests discovered a long strand of hair on the inside of the cake. Been a loyal customer to this bakery for over 7 years. Never coming back. read more

This is the second year in a row I've brought my boys here on Halloween morning to pick out a special Halloween cake. They've got a cake for everyone.

This is one of my family's favorite locally owned businesses. It's also a great place to stop in for a dozen donuts to surprise your coworkers! read more

I came here a few weeks ago to celebrate Fat Tuesday. I was looking for a place to find traditional European paczki. Taylor's was the first place that popped up upon a Google search for paczki in Indianapolis. I ordered a dozen for the office. The doughnuts came in 4 different flavors a lemon one, Bavarian cream, mixed berry, and apple cinnamon. When I actually started to eat them, they just tasted like a standard jelly doughnut with paczki flavors. The doughnuts seemed to consist of 80% jelly and 20% dough, which, to me, felt like an uncomfortable ratio--very different from the paczkis I've had before. All of their other products looked really good and I'll have to check out the king cake next year! read more

Have been getting donuts for a while but this week was the first time to get some other items. We bought some eclairs, cookies and a cheesecake square. The eclairs were only ok. The filling was delicious but the pasty was too thick and dry. Cookies were good. Always like their donuts, large and lots of filling in the Bavarian and jelly ones. Reasonable prices. read more

I bought a bunch of goodies for my Galentine/Birthday party. Communication was seamless, and the delivery was on time!

One of my friends said it was the best cake she had ever had in her life! Overall, Taylor's is amazing, and I can't wait to use them for my 4th of July party. read more

If you like the taste of mediocre cookies from WalMart or Target then you will love Taylor's Bakery. I've stopped in twice and each time I've purchased only cookies, sugar and chocolate chip. Both times I felt I could have baked a cookie with far more taste. Do they even put butter in their dough??? Seriously, I wonder! Also the cookies are very crumbly and dry. I'm ok with dry but if I bite into it and feel like it turns into saw dust... that's not a cookie I desire. This is said to be a family run bakery for a long time now, so I wanted to give it a shot. Maybe a while ago it was better but now I think I will stick with my favorite bakery - Rene's in Broadripple. read more
