I came here to say have a Commissioning cake done for our son who commissioned as an United States Air Force Officer. I showed them the emblems and how many people were attending. The cake was fixed at the other location and I went there as well to speak with them regarding pick up. Both locations are wonderful inside smells so good I could barely contain myself from getting cookies and cupcakes! I was there on a mission lol so I did leave with 2 chocolate cupcakes and the order for our son's cake. If you want a professional cake done this is the place. Keep in mind you pay for what you get and the cake was totally amazing! The graphics and all point on for our son's commission gathering. I want to thank each one from both locations for doing this cake for us! I highly recommend them both locations! Just a note for cakes made you'll need to go over to there Kerr avenue location. Outstanding Apple Annie's hands down the best in town! read more

I don't know which location I was at but I thought their pastries were incredibly good and reasonably priced. I was impressed with the selection as well. The only reason you didn't get 5 stars is because I ordered 15 pastries and the girl behind the counter was squishing them in small paper bags until I caught her and had her put them in boxes. Why on earth would she do that? ! read more

Recently discovered Apple Annie's. Delicious Black and White cookies. Just like back in NY. You should also try the Chinese chocolate drop cookie. We got some delicious Kaiser rolls that stayed fresh for a few days. We sampled the cheese Danish, very well made and tasty. They need to open a Porters Neck Branch. I think it would do well. Still need to try lots of their other goodies. But I highly recommend read more

Custom cake design was perfect, better than expected, and customer service was amazing. Highly recommend after only one visit

If I could give zero stars, I would. I'm usually not a harsh critic, and rarely give bad reviews but in this circumstance, I will. This bakery ruined what was supposed to be a very special moment for my husband and I. I went into Apple Annie's asking for a small cake to be made for a gender reveal. I explained that it would be just my husband and I at a nice dinner and we wanted to be able to cut into the cake to find out the sex of our first child. They said they do baby smash cakes, which would be the perfect size for just two people. I had a sealed envelope from my doctor with the gender, which I gave to the girl taking my order. Fast forward four days. I arrive to the bakery to pick up the cake, prior to our dinner. I'm standing at the counter and the girl puts the cake box down in front of me. Of course I open the box to see the cake and how big it actually was. To my astonishment, I see bright blue frosting on the OUTSIDE of the cake. I was stunned and asked... "Is the frosting on the outside?" to which she replied "Yes." I asked "Why?" to which she replied, "well, I asked you." I didn't say another word but paid and basically ran out of the store to my car where I immediately started ugly sobbing. I was very clear about what I asked for when I ordered the cake. I felt like it was slap in the face for her to insist that she asked me specifically about the frosting because obviously I know what I wanted and what I asked for. I didn't argue with her because there was no point. I didn't talk to management because there was no point. There was no fixing it. I paid and just left. I didn't care about the $20. I only cared about getting that moment with my husband, which we had been anticipating for the entire week prior. We never got to have our moment and I instead found out the sex of our baby while standing at the counter of Apple Annie's, sans husband. On top of it all, we did try the cake and were both unimpressed. We ended up ordering dessert from the restaurant. read more

Love Apple Annie's they have done our wedding cake and our anniversaries cakes ! And they are the best! They have made them just like how I have asked every time. Taste is so delicious . Moist Creamy frosting And designs are fantastic Creative They have never ever disappointed us on anything. They have great cupcakes, desserts and other little goodies also. You must call ahead of time or just go in and make a cake date, or dessert date and have things designed. They have many many great options to choose from. From weddings which they did the first one and our vows renewal also! Love this place! Great service and reasonable prices! This place is a must! read more

Stopped here for the first time while out goofing off in Wilmington with the family. This location is a little smaller than the main location, but still good selection. Very friendly staff with great service. We ordered the cupcake of the month (S'More), Apple Turnover, Oatmeal Raisin cookie, Cinnamon Bun, Strawberry Swirl Cake, and four coffees. All of them were delicious and tasty. The decor is really nice and the atmosphere is very quiet. I think we'll return here for future sweet tooth needs. Apple Annie's has always been a great Wilmington staple. read more

My wife and I have two favorite bakeries in Wilmington. Apple Annie's is one. Their pastries are flakey and not too sweet. The store is new, modern and clean. The counter folks are pleasant. Apple Annie's is well worth a visit (or two or ten. Who's counting?) read more

The Lemon Cake is a light and flavorful favorite in my family. We have purchased this dessert many times over the years and we love supporting this local business. Last week I picked up this cake at the Military Cutoff location for my sons birthday and it was a huge disappointment. It was super stale and everyone found it inedible. I will ask about the "bake date" next time, if I return. read more

If you don't know how to make a cake item, don't try. Apple Annie makes unquestionably the worst Saint Joseph Zeppoles that I have ever tasted. The crust is tasteless and not the least bit flakey. The cannoli cream was insipid, and the custard filling was equally bad. Somehow, the baker thinks Zeppoles. should be filled with whipped cream. Yuk!!! read more

I've never been disappointed with anything I've gotten from here, and the staff is friendly , courteous, and prompt when giving service. The desserts are appetizing and a delicious. read more

This is one of my favorite bakeries! I always get the red velvet cupcakes! It's so good! The icing isn't like the sugary heavy icing. It's light and airy! You can't go wrong here! read more

I have used this bakery in the past and it was great. Sadly we just ordered cake/cupcakes for my daughters 16th and they were so terrible that all 48 cupcakes went in the trash and my guests made multiple comments about how bad they were, it was terrible. Even the kids wouldn't eat them and kids eat everything. I emailed the bakery and didn't even get a response. I really want to give a great review because they have done a great job before but when you throw away over a hundred dollars in cupcakes and can't even get an apology it's not a place people should go. read more

Came by this little bakery when I was visiting Wilmington on vacation. It's a small little bake shop hidden in the shopping center. Upon coming in, I was greeted by a really nice lady and a smell of some really yummy treats. They have treats from cakes, pies and cookies to baked bread and baguettes. I grabbed two of their chocolate rum cakes for my boyfriend and I while I was there. (He gobbled his up before I could even put it on a plate. Their to go packaging was super cute and efficient. I worried about it falling over in the box but it held them nice and securely for the drive home. Definitely will be back if I'm ever in the area! read more

I loved this bakery! We randomly found it while walking through the shopping center. There is an assortment of savory pastries and croissants, as well as cookies, cakes, and cupcakes! You can buy things, such as cookies, by the pound, which is an amazing concept! My boyfriend ended up getting a creative cupcake (shaped like Big Bird), and I grabbed two of the butter cookies-one with sprinkles and one with raspberry in the middle. Both of the cookies were delicious and gone within seconds! The workers were very nice and friendly. They offered suggestions and were very helpful. The inside of the bakery is very cute. Not too big, but there are several tables where you can sit, relax, and enjoy your little slice of happiness! read more

Apple Annie's has been a bakery go to for years and their new location in the Forum doesn't disappoint. The display cases of cookies and chocolates and pies and cakes and breads and all of the deliciousness just seems to go on forever. It's really hard to narrow it down to just a few favorites, but you'll want to be somewhat careful because those by-the-pound prices can add up kind of quickly. With that said, I love to check their discount basket for the little baggies of yesterday's baked goods. It's always a surprise what they may have excess of and sometimes the discount is pretty hefty! My family has gotten several different special occasion cakes in the past and they have always been just as tasty as they are pretty. I've personally had a great experience communicating about an order with various questions regarding size, price, servings, etc. read more

After asking for recommendations from an ILM FB foodie group, we decided to try Apple Annie's cheesecake for my daughter's birthday celebration. We were not disappointed. I placed the order for a next day pick up and was told they make the cheesecake in house. The price for a 6" plain cheesecake was very reasonable and the addition of strawberry topping was a minimal up-charge. They offered to write a birthday message on the cake, although when we picked it up the part of the message had slid off the top. No worries though - long message, small cake. : ) I was assisted by Laura who was friendly and offered to fix the message, but I declined. The whole family loved the cheesecake, especially the teens. There were NO leftovers, it was just the right size for 4. Thank you - we will visit again! read more

Apple Annie's Bake Shop - Fantastic cheesecake! The mess in the box was due to the teen tipping over - NOT Apple Annie's fault! : ) - Bakeries Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

We stopped in here for a sweet treat after visiting the Long Island Eatery next door. We got two cupcakes - a vanilla with chocolate icing and a key lime cupcake. The cupcakes were kind of small and a bit dry. They weren't terrible but they weren't amazing either .. just "eh". I'd like to try their other items like the squares and other pastries. The staff are friendly and super nice! read more

Note: address is correct, but map location is wrong on the Yelp map. My mother would gladly give me up in exchange for their key lime pie recipe. I get one for her when I feel like being the favorite child at birthdays and Christmases, this year no exception. read more

No idea how this place has 4 stars. I called and ordered a cake for my wife's birthday. Told them I wanted something very special and unique. Their standard cake is 2 layers. I asked for a 3 layer cake and you would've thought I asked them to invent a cure for cancer overnight. The girl on the phone was nice but had to talk to someone else in the store to get approval for such an unusual request (really???). Here's the bottom line. $67 for this cake!!!! Holy freakin' cow!!! It wasn't bad it just wasn't anything special. It was just bland. In addition to the ridiculous price I paid I actually didn't get 3 layers. Look at the picture and you tell me if you see 2 chocolate layers and one vanilla like I asked for. Very disappointing and won't go back to Apple Annie's. Sorry. read more

Apple Annie's Bake Shop - This is what they call 3 layers. 2 chocolate and 1 vanilla. $67 for this!!!! Where is the other chocolate layer Apple Annie's??? - Bakeries Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

I wanted to give this Bake Shop a second chance since my first visit, where I purchased an over priced chocolate brownie the was tasteless and very dry to where it made me cough. This time today I went into the bake shop to purchase something sweet for my wife. I bought their Pumpkin Spice slice of cake, once again over-priced and once again it was very dry and stale. I'm very disappointed I will not be visiting this store again. read more

My family adores this bakery. Their items are always tasty and unique. Recently we special ordered Palm crisp from them, with a request to bake them dark! What we received were lopsided underbaked palm crisp.Everyone ate the crisp parts and left the centers. It was embarrassing. If I would have checked them before leaving the bakery, i would have left them behind. We enjoy palm crisp for their heart shapes and light crisp flaky texture! We blame it on the holidays. They most like had to hire extra bakers, who rushed our order. We will definitely order from them again but always checking the boxes/bags and the orders for halfbaked pastries . read more

Ordered a 21st birthday cake for my daughter. They had no record of order! Crazy. It was a custom cake. A woman took my order and wrote it down. Very disappointed read more

On special occasions since moving to Wilm we have always bought an AA cake made to order. It was always a hit. This weekend I was very disappointed in the cake. They have changed their icing, its greasy like they use Crisco and not butter. It wouldn't even wash off the plates in the dishwasher! The floral decorations were that sickly sweet icing you get on a grocery store cake. This was the first cake I got since they changed hands. Wont bother next time. read more

I recently ordered a strawberry cheesecake from Apple Annie's Bake Shop for my husbands 50th birthday and it was so delicious. . . A huge hit with our family!! Customer Service was great and prices are reasonable. Would definitely order from here again. Thank you!! read more

Wow! Talk about customer service! I pre-ordered some tasty goodies for Thanksgiving and in all the hustle I completely spaced picking them up on Wednesday. By the time I realized it, they were closed. On the off chance someone would answer I called about an hour after closing and Rob answered! He was walking out the door but said he would be more than happy to meet me in the morning (Thanksgiving morning!) so I could have my desserts for our big feast! True to his word, he called me in the am and helped my family recharge with sweets after the turkey snooze! Thank You so much for going far above and beyond in the name of customer service! =D read more

This place is okay, much better bakeries in Wilmington, staff is okay, prices seems little much for what you get. Last time I went it took forever for someone to ask if I needed help and it was even busy, their were girls there just chatting behind the counter plus while waiting I looked at the goods on the shelves and they have cakes that had mold on them. My Mum and I just got what we needed, left and haven't been back sense read more

Literally the best bake shop in Wilmington. The prices are very reasonable and the desserts are AMAZING! I love this shop and would most definitely recommend it to anybody looking for a delicious dessert. read more

Went here for a small sweet dessert. I will start out by saying the pastries were delicious! We had a mudslide brownie, cheesecake, carrot cake, chocolate covered strawberry cupcake. Service on the other hand was mediocre and that's being generous. There was one other couple seated when we walked in so it was not busy at all. We were not greeted with a smile or friendly welcome. We came in about 445pm, they close at 6pm. It almost seemed like we were interrupting Laura. When we were being rung up, my husband asked if I wanted coffee. I asked if they had coffee. The reply was just no, that it had already been broken down. There was no "Im sorry, it's been broken down for the day, but we do have bottled water, etc." Would have been a great opportunity for an up sell. Again, no smile or friendly customer service as we ended the transaction. In the end, I gave 3 stars for great service but service was disappointing. read more

I got this from Apple Annie on Monday this is what I ate and got sick to my stomach the strawberry had mold and was rotting .sorry could post the photos I wanted to show. read more

My boyfriend and I had been wanting to try Apple Annie's for a while, but it was always closed when we thought about it. Wish it stayed open a little later so it was easier to go for dessert. Finally we made it. We got two pastries- a rum cake one, and a german chocolate one, and they were delicious! They both tasted really fresh. I liked the big tables and the interior of the place in general. It would be easy to go there with a big group of friends. read more

We just moved to the area and my first time visiting this bake shop we ordered a few different cupcakes and I was so disappointed the cupcakes were SO dry and over cooked as well as bland. Service was not that great either. I don't think this is worth your time or money as there are other dessert places in Wilmington I would recommend going to instead of this place. I hate to leave a bad review but feel the need to since it was so bad. read more

Ordered 2 pies for Thanksgiving, and when I got home I had received one incorrect pie. Instead of Coconut Cream, I received a Coconut Custard. I called the store 20 min. before closing and was blown away by their service. A call was made to their Kerr Ave location, and I was offered a half chocolate, half coconut cream pie. I knew I wouldn't make it back to the store, which was not a problem at all. The pie was delivered to my door and I was told to keep the Coconut Custard as well. Customer Service that exceeds your expectation is unheard of today. So, aside from amazing deliciousness their Service is Outstanding!!! read more

Love their napoleons and lemon custard filled cakes in the summer. The birthday cakes are always flawlessly decorated and fresh. 99% of the time I order with flowers (good idea to ask for extra though), buttercream frosting and filling, plain white cake. If you do not care for more frosting or want any flowers, they offer one w/chocolate pieces which is also nice looking and tastes good too. read more
