Everything is fantastic, the cinnamon croissant roll is off the chain. Great customer service from the staff

Wilmington was the perfect place for our daughter's destination wedding in October 2025. We wanted a local bakery that felt like family and Apple Annie's Bake Shop is it. From the consultation to advice on quantities and flavors to the delivery everything was easy and delicious. For a guest count of around 80 I ordered pies in apple, chocolate mouse, cherry and pecan and pumpkin , brownies in both chocolate and salted caramel and both sugar cookies and peanut butter cookies and cupcakes in carrot cake , vanilla, red velvet and chocolate. Enough for everyone to have samples of everything . Yes I overordered but I don't regret it at all and nothing went to waste. We purchased cute to go boxes off Amazon just in case and and many guests were happy to leave with an extra cupcake or brownie and for those who did Airbnb and were staying a few days the extra pies were a welcome treat for breakfast the next day. I wish we had taken a picture of the full desert bar because it was amazing. read more

Incredible selection and reasonable prices. Cannot wait to go back! Staff was friendly and helpful

One of the best bakeries in town! High standards for standardness-- it's all good here!

The sweets I got were cupcakes (red velvet and pumpkin spice). Great with my coffee. The service was as so helpful in making a decisions because they have a variety of baked goods and drinks. I loved the display and the atmosphere of a clean bakery. If I had a question it was answered to my liking and the servers knew their product. Hats off for a return visit. read more

You'll never buy bread anywhere else. I did try the scones, but they were Americanized, so they had too much sugar for a proper English scone. But the bread is fantastic! read more

From the aroma of fresh bread to very hot coffee you can't be disappointed. All of the bakery products are great.

Delicious Key Lime Cake for my dad's birthday! I also bought a bunch of assorted cookies and they were a little expensive, but it was worth it. We got the sprinkled butter cookies for the kids, and the wedding cookies. They even have day olds for very cheap! read more

The only reason I'm giving them one star instead of zero stars is because Lily was so nice and was put in a bad situation. I ordered a cake a week in advance and was told I could pick it up at 9:30 am the following week. The cake was for a work meeting and celebration at 10:00. I arrived at 9:35 and there was no cake. Lily called the other branch and was told it was probably on the delivery truck which would get to her location in 1.5 -2 hours. I tried to call the main branch and track down the cake. I was willing to go get it wherever it was. The main branch was not answering their phone and just letting it go to voicemail. Well at 11:00 Lily called to let me know it had arrived at her location..after my meeting ended. Never again!!!! read more

They have the best pastries in this area. The scones are perfect! I am unsure how they get them so crispy on the outside and soft inside. Amazing. We've had every type of pastry they sell and each are food. We bought a key lime pie and that was a bit disappointing. read more

What a relief to know that there are businesses that care about customer experience. I'm posting now after speaking to Mikayla, the amazing FOH manager at the Kerr St location for Apple Annie's Bake Shop. She listened to what happened and very kindly offered a gesture in apology for our bad experience back in December. I'm extremely grateful that Mikayla took time from her busy schedule to reach out to make this better. It makes the memory of that part of the wedding better. Thank you, Mikayla for listening. Thank you Apple Annie's Bake Shop for this stellar employee! read more

Apple Annie's Bake Shop - Red velvet cake that was not supposed to have crumbs on the side or dollops on the top. - Bakeries Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

Apple Annie's Bake Shop is an adorable bakery full of tons of delicious baked goods. When you walk in there are multiple cases loaded up with fresh treats. The staff are patient and attentive to the customers and were more than happy to answer any questions that we had. I was specifically looking for a cannoli so I called ahead to make sure they had them in stock. They had both the full sized regular cannolis as well as a mini option. I got a few of both and ate one of the minis before even leaving my parking space. It was delicious. We also decided to get some m&m butter cookies just because they looked good and they were tasty as well. Not too sweet but just enough. They had everything from full sized cheesecakes (including a pumpkin flavor for the fall season) to the cutest tiny pinch cookies with everything in between. This will definitely be a regular stop for me to get some sweet treats when I'm in the area. read more

For years, Apple Annies was our trusted spot in Wilmington for a quick, indulgent treat. My daughter's annual birthday ritual--a small round red velvet cake with white icing and blue flowers--was delicious and always baked and decorated to perfection. Though she's grown and we've moved on, it's still a favorite when we return. The team's professionalism, warm service, and flawless product never disappoint. read more

Apple Annie's never disappoints! I ordered a going away cake for one of the best bosses ever! He has a great sense of humor so I knew I could make it funny. I took the idea into Apple Annie's and they took care of the rest. I ordered a round white cake with butter cream icing. Oh, don't let me forget the strawberry filling! The staff couldn't say enough about how delicious this cake was. Thank you Apple Annie's for making one of the most talked about cakes ever! You not only made a delicious dessert but a special moment! The staff loved this boss and wanted to send him off with a cake to remember! read more

We have friend drives from jacksonville once a month to get danishes so when we came into town we had pop by see what's they had to offer and you can't go in and walk out empty handed because it's so mouth watering you won't be able to stop yourself. They had cinnamon buns or rolls that were bigger than my hand! They have wide variety of cookies and pies and the staff was so nice and helpful! They are gearing up for the Easter holiday and I can see a pie on my table from here for sure! They take orders in person or by phone and just are amazing young ladies. I was very happy we stopped in . I even got home made puppy cookies for my dog! Highly highly recommend this place. read more

Customer service: 5 stars: great staff Cleanliness: 5 stars: no complaints Price point: 2 stars: very expensive for the items to be either bland, dry, flavorless, or have a refrigerator/manufactured taste to them. Taste: 1 star: several locals recommended this place and I was not impressed. Living in NOLA you expect a bakery to actually taste and smell like a bakery, thats should've been an indicator for me to abort mission. Overall: i wont be back. We were visiting my husband's family and they had the family reunion in Wilmington this year. I bought several pies, cakes, cupcakes, and cookies from here, people took a couple of bites from the desserts I purchased and threw it away. I have been fired from bringing desserts to the family functions unless I bake them myself... im sorry I wanted to like this place and I spent a significant amount of money in here to get out of baking desserts for our family reunion, but no one liked the desserts from here including the children, and like I said after a couple of bites it was thrown away. I was left with 2 lemon meringue pies uncut and no one wanted to take them and the first 1 was 1/2 eaten. Cookies had a bite or 2 and was thrown away. Kids were being chatised for throwing away damn near whole cupcakes because "they taste funny", etc etc etc my kids took a bite of the cookies and threw them away, we live in NOLA and we have a lady that actually bakes us cookies in the garden district. Sorry guys I really wanted to like to you, i didnt think it was all that bad but when you are dealing with elders born in 1910 that have cooking and baking since 1922, you can't be mad they didn't like it. read more

I needed a scone.... NEEDED. They had two options, blueberry and chocolate chip. Large crusty scones. It hit the spot. Had a biscuit texture to me, but i still enjoyed it.

There is something so comforting about the ambience this place; it's giving: mom and pops old fashioned bakery. My only complaint would be that the pastries I chose had that "refrigerator" taste. Perhaps a bit of baking soda in the display cases could be of use, or maybe the treats I chose were more than a few days old. I tried, but couldn't enjoy them because of that refrigerator smell and taste absorbed into the treats. I have been here a few times, likely won't be back for a while--it's such a downer considering how beautiful everything is and how intricate the details are. read more

Got a brownie and chocolate chip scone. Brownie was super tasty and the scone was huge! Very friendly and helpful staff.

If you love good Italian bread , this is your go to place. Always fresh and if you place an order , it's always waiting for you to pick up. The cookies are out of this world, and if you are looking for a birthday cake, yummy, yummy for your tummy. The staff is always friendly and always go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied. Apple Annie's is a great bakery, that reminds me of the Bronx NewYork. Plenty of parking, you get in and out with no problems. read more

I've used AA for yearly birthday's for decades and never been disappointed till now. Decided to order cupcakes instead of a custom cake. They are so small I thought they were mini ones. They were all in one box touching the others, they don't even use the special cupcake boxes that have a hole for each so even though they were handled with care the icing was trashed on 3 of them. They charge for each one and not by the dozen so I paid as much as a cake for 24 them. I could have gotten them from the grocery store. read more

So disappointed with my last visit there. I was on the hunt for seeded rye bread . I did purchase one loaf and had it sliced for me. Brought it home and made a sandwich. The color was good , fewer caraway seeds than I like. The crust was soft , what a disappointment. I was hoping for a nice crusty loaf , but sadly it is not . They do make great black and white cookies and pretty good apple turnovers. read more

I have always had amazing experiences here at Apple Annie's. It is very convenient to my work and sometimes I stop by just because I see the building and feel the urge to get pastries for co workers. I have also gotten a couple cakes from here that were perfectly delicious. They take call ahead orders like cakes that need to be made ahead of time but their shelves are always full with goodies to chose from. This last visit I got 4 paid tries and a cup of coffee it was about $18 and well worth it for always fresh and delicious treats. The customer service has also always been a 5 stars for me! I would recommend! read more

If you order a cake ahead of time, then you should call them the day before to make sure they will actually make it by the time you both agreed to pick it up. Showed up for our son's graduation cake on our way to Raleigh. Graduation was in 4 hours. No Cake!!!! They quickly began putting one together and told me it would be a few minutes. 30 minutes later we had a rushed cake with 1 picture on it---we had agreed upon 3 pictures on the cake. The border decorations looked like I did it in my kitchen. I was hoping for an apology email 3 days later when I returned home. No email. I sent them a message on their website making sure the owners/managers knew what happened. 3 days later still No Email! Apple Annies has done good work for me in the past, so I am very disappointed my business was not worth a response. read more

Ordered online and the item is ready for pick up at the specified time. We ordered a tiramisu cake and it was outstanding and I believe that the price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend Apple Annie's. read more

When I called to buy the $17.50 Chocolate Mousse Pie, I was told the $17.50 price is for their wholesale clients only. My price would be the $21.00. They need to change their website. I am still dissatisfied with their Apple Pie. read more

Thia is an amazing bakery, an old fashioned bakery, not unlike bakeries 20 or 30 years ago. They have a display case full of pastries. Although we weretourists, we went three times in a week. Pastries include apple, blueberry, raspberry, cherry, cheese, strawberry, strawberry rhubarb, cinnamon, almond. They have all kinds of cinnamon rolls, and croissants, plain, spinach, swiss cheese, chocolate. There is a case with cookies, eclairs, scones. There are many premade beautiful cakes, and loaves of fresh baked bread. I got a blueberry and cherry danish and I can say, they were the best I've had in 68 years. Soft, just the right sweetness. The pumpernickel bread was soft and great tasting. I wish I had a bakery like this back home. read more

I was in town for a wedding and was served the coconut cream cake from here. OMG. Maybe the best I've ever had! Not too sweet and perfect! Yum!! read more

Omg!! This cake was delicious! I had one made for my birthday ( yes, wanted to do my own cake!) Chocolate icing 7 layer vanilla cake.. one of the best chocolate cakes I've ever had! Loved the name of the place ( Pocket Full of Miracles reference ) but now I LOVE the cakes even more! Thank you, Apple Annie's- I will be back! read more

The service is not great if you are ordering a big order, They are good at ignoring you and not giving you a straight answer, making it almost impossible to plan a party! Thats ridiculous! read more

Wife and I decided to have a dessert date today, so we chose Apple Annie's main bakery. As soon as you walk in you're overtaken by the amazing smells of the magic they bake here. Today was pretty good because they had the UNCW Seahawk in house. We had our pictures taken with the Seahawk. The employees were very friendly and attentive, but not overbearing or pushy. Very good. We chose a Mocha Square, Lemon Roll Cake, Cream Puffs, coffee, and a whole Tiramisu to go. We wanted to eat there, but they don't really have seating like the other location. We decided to eat at Hey!Beer. Of course everything we had was delicious! The Mocha Square was amazing. After dinner, we finally tried the Tiramisu. OMG! The best Tiramisu we've ever had. Our wedding cake was Tiramisu because we love Tiramisu. This is awesome! We will get this again. Recommend you give Apple Annie's a try. read more

My family have been faithful customers of Apple Annie's since the '80's. Our family favorite, their chocolate eclairs. However, it appears so much has changed over the years. The eclair no longer tastes the same, something in the custard has changed to the point where it tastes like jello pudding. The chocolate is sweeter. The Apple Annies store (on Kerr) use to have a very distinct "bakery" smell, and even that is gone. It's very disheartening to see the prices increase, but the taste that made Apple Annies, THE Apple Annies diminish. My last batch of eclairs I got for Thanksgiving, the "custard" didn't even have a taste, it was almost like watered down pudding. My mom didn't even eat hers, and she is the person that introduced Apple Annie's to our family. Apple Annie's was known for their custard! I'm afraid that almost after 40 years, I may have to stop getting those once delectable chocolate eclairs. It isn't worth the money anymore. read more

Ordered two specialty decorated cakes. They were beautiful and everyone raved at the designs. The cake flavor was delicious! However, we were not fans of the chemical after taste of the icing. It overpowered the cake after a few bites. read more

This place was very good. I never regret trying something new. People and atmosphere were very nice and the food was very good I got a German chocolate cake and my gf got cheese cake. They were both premium works with complex flavor and work put into them read more

Very disappointed. This is the fourth or fifth time that I've been in there to get individual pastries. Every time when I get them home, they are stale. I even ask the clerk to recommend one for me this time. Do they know what fresh pastries are . They must make all their money on wedding cakes or something. I do not recommend them at all. I'm tired of wasting my money there. read more

Tasty treats! From birthday cakes, cookies, pastries and more. We had an eclair and seven layer cake which was delicious! When I come down to Wilmington always leave with one of their tasty treats. Customer service could use some improvement it always seems so pushy for someone to make a decision. read more
