It really saddens me to leave a bad review... This used to be my favorite place to sit and have coffee or get a pasty (pre Covid)... However, the customer services has really began to fail.. If you go to the drive thru 5 people walk past the window and not check on you.. If you come in they have very dry unpleasant attitudes :( Owner needs to speak with his team about customer service, if they don't want to work they should go home... The customers don't need to know! AND BRING BACK THE BOURBON COFFEE read more

Super fun spot! Lots of great pastries and coffee options. Staff is super friendly and helpful! Food is really really good too! Had the build your own sandwich and it's spectacular on Ciabatta. Coffee is great too! Would recommend a stop through here! read more

Ordered a Caramel Macchiato online. The Carmel syrup is extra and not included. I assumed it would be included since the drink is a caramel macchiato. I paid $7.15 for oat milk and espresso. read more

I loved all the baked goods at Community Bakery... too much! I would only recommend this business for picking up their sweet treats. The restaurant side takes FOREVER to cook the food. Make sure that you have a lot of time to wait around to get your food. I'm talking super SLOW. My other problem with dining there is that the outside tables expose you to the homeless problem they have. They have people hanging out begging for money and bothering customers. Not cool with small kids. I'm not sure what they can do but it's been a problem for a long time. read more

Truth is... I found myself at Community Bakery while sorta' scavenger hunting/ almost mildly cyber stalking this local artist's work-- in a non-creepy way! He graciously shared the location, and off I went! I was looking for a drain (yeah I know, I'm ridiculous and had time on my hands today!) he'd painted and found it directly in front of the Community Bakery! -- what are the odds?! I found my street art, snapped a pic, saw the bakery, knew I had it bookmarked, so I thought-- "I'm here, might as well!" And I'm so glad I did! The bakery is really open and spacious, with a huge selection. Sidebar: I was sorta' surprised that they don't sell the infamous Arkansan "Possum Pie" but hey, I'm not an Arkansan so... not my qualm! The staff is super friendly and helpful in explaining them items and making recommendations-- and there's much to choose from. I decided on the strawberry whipped cream cake and grabbed a French silk pie for the hubs as he's a super fan of "chocolatey chocolateness." Unfortunately, the hubs got to his pie AND my cake before I could even get decent photos (or any for that matter)! Now, true Yelpers know that's an ultimate no-no and almost unpardonable sin! But, that tells you all you need to know about the product! I digress. Both desserts looked awful by the time I saw them again (especially his French silk pie, but I'm sure you can imagine what it could be likened to). I enjoyed (what was left of) my cake and I'll be back for a proper do over with adequate photos to commemorate the experience! All in all, #pyhurds_art (on IG) brought me here, but the thrill of trying more delicious items in those amazing dessert cases will be the reason I come back! P.S. Sorry I got carried away with my sidebar banter on this review! Lol! read more

I was in Little Rock for the weekend, literally the only place I could find open early on a Saturday morning. But no complaints here; it was great! The pastry selection was vast and delicious, and their coffee was great too! Also the location is so cute and homely. read more

This was such a warm and wonderful place to stop in for a sandwich and delicious handcrafted coffee beverage. When we ordered the avocado melt, (which I anticipated would be bland but satiating) we were so pleasantly surprised, enjoyed every bite and loved the mustard. The caramel macchiato and cappuccino came out in glass mugs and were beautiful. We enjoyed the warmth and flavor with drinking these. read more

My favorite breakfast is community bakery's ciabatta breakfast sandwich with their cappuccino! The sandwich melts in my mouth with its pesto and goat cheese! It's one of my favorite places in Little Rock and the virus hasn't slowed them down one bit with their Togo window. I recommend for breakfast, lunch, dinner & desert (Best Dutch Apple Pie)! read more

Where do you order? Your guess is as good as mine. I stood at the front, middle, side, couldn't get anyone to take my order for ten minutes, and it wasn't busy mind you. I finally had to stand in front of the register to force an employee to actually make eye contact. After we place our order they promptly forget the order ever existed. So I have to play the nonsense employees are ignoring the counter game again. Not only do they get the order wrong but they managed to sell out of chocolate croissants in the 20 minutes it took to get the ice cold items out of the case. Cinnamon rolls were stale and cold. Manager was unapologetic and completely unhelpful. I'm never going back read more

It's Monday 9 am and I wanted bfast out. It was not busy. While the bfast sandwich and latte were both very good, the service was terrible. No one behind the counter had a clear understanding of their role. People who came in after me and were standing behind me were ordering before me. My latte came out 10 min after sandwich because the lady who makes the latte was serving donuts to people who came in after me. Terribly frustrating experience and I was so looking forward to a nice bfast out. PS...my husband had the donuts and he gave them a C. Go to Marks in NLR if you want donuts! read more

Amazing blueberry scones - great with coffee! Wonderful place to step back and relax.

Excellent local bakery! They have delicious cakes, petit fours, and cupcakes. But my favorite is their sandwiches and paninis. Great soup/sandwich/salad cafe! read more

Love this place. Lunch is good but their desserts rock! The turtle cheesecake is my favorite. Thick chocolate covers it. The lemoncello tiramisu doesnt disappoint either. So creamy and the right amount of lemon. The broccoli and cheese soup in a bread bowl is good. All the samdwiches I have had are good too. They have italian sodas and slushes along with coffee! read more

Good food. We had two savory items for breakfast: classic and healthy ones. Good vibe. Decent wait time. We will definitely come back.

Got real sick from the food here. Not sure if something was just about to turn or what. Holy GI distress though...and while I was hiking Pinnacle Mountain to boot. Good thing I hike with TP ugh! I'll stick with Mylo when I am in town. It hasn't failed me on either one of my Little Rock visits. read more

Bakery options are delicious! Used to be a fan of their breakfast and lunch sandwiches but was disappointed last time I visited. My sandwich was flavorless and soggy- not to mention that I waited 30 minutes for it. Mixed service. The lady who helped me moved incredibly slow and struggled to understand my order (consisting of one sandwich and one cookie). They used to have fabulous service and food so I am not sure what happened! read more

Delicious desserts, cakes and cookies! The best bakery in central AR! You have to go!

Community Bakery is much more than just a mere bakery which can be found anywhere. Community bakery is an experience! I have many nostalgic memories of my grandmother taking me here on summer trips to Little Rock. Over the years, Community Bakery has evolved from an outstanding bakery into a full eatery which includes the original bakery. Their baked goods are simply amazing. Truly everything tastes great. Especially after ordering a variety of cookies, you'll be hard pressed not to find a favorite in the batch. Once you find the favorite, you'll be instantly transformed into the Cookie Monster and you'll be wanting to devour about a dozen immediately. My absolute favorite cookies are the frosted sugar cookies. Their cakes are phenomenal along with many of their other assorted baked goods. In the baked goods department, you'll find something here that is good. As for the breakfast sandwiches, I had a simple croissant toasted with cheese. It was simply okay. Not the best one I've had, but edible. Whether you're visiting Little Rock or a local, Community Bakery is an absolute must. read more

Smells bad. Cashier doesn't know what an apple turnover is. She brings an apple scone instead, and heats it up in the microwave IN THE PLASTIC BASKET. The latte tasted bad. The woman bussing tables leaves a layer of water from her too-wet rag on each table. They're selling packs of day-old rolls covered in green mold for $1.50. read more

The lemon bar I had wasn't great but decent. I also tried a danish and that was much better. I didn't try the cake and frosting scraps yet but it was a fun concept. read more

Not the same products. Everything was dry! I can honestly say Walmart has better cookies.

Why oh why would they smash a croissant sandwich like a pancake? One hopes for a light, flaky, airy consistency not Pressed into a cardboard thickness and consistency. And what seemed to be a half of an egg. $6.50 . No thank you. read more

I love to end the night with dessert so we stopped in for a piece of cake to go. The sweet treats here didn't look the prettiest but as long as they taste good, I'm not too concerned about that. The offer all sorts of cakes, bars, pies, drinks, etc. We ordered the caramel cake. Most caramel cakes I've had have been very dense however, this one was completely different. The came itself seemed very light and fluffy and very fresh. The icing was very smooth and creamy, almost a whipped consistency. My husband particularly enjoyed the fact that this cake wasn't terribly sweet. The staff didn't seem too thrilled to be there but again, my cake was yummy and we got it to go so we didn't mind that too much. read more

During our visit, this corner bakery was filled with surrounding issues that translated to poor customer service. At the time of our visit, they had an irate customer who apparently didn't get her cake order correctly, to an ambulance outside hauling a passer by away to a homeless person circling the baked goods. Due to all these distractions, customer service failed us. My friend never got her latte and was forced to not eat her cake until they made one up for her, which still took forever to get. The customer counter line was moving ever so slow because they continued to step away from the register to answer phone orders or answer questions. The place is located in a convenient corner; however, their diner feel needs a bit of a makeover to make the experience a memorable one. read more

I have visited Community Bakery about a dozen times in the past month. (I am not even exaggerating!). I always use the drive-thru and am always greeted with at least one (usually more) happy & pleasant worker! My order has always been correct and DELICIOUS! (Try the chicken salad croissant and a cowboy cookie...my faves!). I have only had to wait longer than usual once...and I count that as a win!! I will be moving into the SOMA district soon and Community Bakery will be seeing me...A LOT! read more

This is an up and coming neighborhood close to downtown and this little gen sits at one end of SoMa (South Main) Lots of Windows and light for fall and winter seating Small number of outside seating is available Good place for a stroll southwards after brunch Friendly staff. A large variety of coffees to choose from. I had the lemon squares which are the perfect amount of tartness. Also tried the croissant with pepper jack cheese and turkey. The everything bagel with Loch is also a mainstay for quick snack or brunch Relaxing place to meet up with friends and enjoy a unique non-large chain of coffee shops experience They do have local art on the walls if you are interested read more

This bakery is pretty good for sweet treats and baked goods, and is suboptimal for lunch/breakfast sandwiches. If you want a NY style bagel, they do not deliver this. They will make a bagel sandwich with toppings but you have to spread the Philadelphia cream cheese on yourself from the tub. I cannot speak to other food--e.g. quiche. One of the perks of this bakery is it's anti-hipster feel in a sea of those popping up (although I think all food at Mylo is delicious). Like the name, it's Got a community feel. Unpretentious, old school, a little outdated. You've got your local art, newspapers you can borrow for a read, and greet window views. read more

My experience with Community Bakery was Exceptional!!! I needed cookies for meet the teacher day at my school. The staff was kind, listened to what I wanted and they delivered. I was running late for my event so they brought the cookies outside to me. Talk about going above and beyond. This was the best customer service experience that I have ever had. My students enjoyed the cookies and the parents thought that they were super cute. I will definitely return. read more

Mmmmm, I love Community Bakery! Great coffee, great pastries, excellent soups. It's always bright and busy, with both customers and staff busily getting about their day, but the folks I've approached with questions or met at the checkout have all been super-friendly and helpful. Run in, grab a dozen donuts and a coffee, party in a box! I've really enjoyed the food I've had there, but the serving sizes are a bit small, be prepared for that. They also have limited, but very nice outdoor seating for those nice days - perfect for a stopover, an informal business meeting, or a rest stop on a date. read more

Worst experience ever. It's only receiving two stars because the brownie was good. The customer service was awful. We weren't greeted, we were very rudely assisted. I asked for my brownie to be warmed up, and the employee working with me seemed as if it was the most excruciating task. He threw the brownie into the microwave, not on a plate or anything, and then checked me out. He didn't ask me if I wanted anything else, nor did he tell me to enjoy. I could hardly eat the brownie because the SACK that he gave it to me was soaked with chocolate from my warm brownie (I wasn't taking this to go, I was dining in) I didn't get a plate or anything. Thoroughly disappointing and I won't be back. read more

I used to love Community Bakery; I really did! All of our cakes came from here for events... the last few times I've been here, I've not cared for the taste of a lot of their items. Today, I decided to give it another shot. Turns out, I should've just opted for something else. I ordered the quiche but 20 minutes later, I asked about it and they had lost my order... I think I'm a pretty patient person but the girl who put my quiche in the microwave seemed agitated for having to fix my quiche. It appeared the communication (or lack thereof) was totally missing. The quiche tasted okay, if you like microwaved quiche... probably won't be back for a while. Sorry Community Bakery... I really wanted to like you again! read more

This was our third time visiting this downtown place and was by far the worst. We like to visit this shop when we come to Arkansas and usually have a pleasant experience but this time was nothing of the sort. Their staff was not nice and friendly, which is unfortunate because the breakfast was rather enjoyable and so was the brewed coffee--lots of options. There was an abundance of staff yet none were helpful. It shouldn't be an inconvenience to warm something in the microwave. One of our three breakfast sandwiches was forgotten and no apologies were offered for the inconvenience. When it was handed over, it was in a to go bag. I love the diversity among the customers and it truly is a "community" gathering spot, but service is so important in a place like this. Hire employees that smile and are willing to help make a customer's day. There was a woman from Texas that was turning in her application and she had the brightest smile. I told her so and I hoped they'd hire her and if she got an interview tell them if they should hire because she has a big smile and isn't afraid to use it. read more

This is the last time I'll go here. I want to support local but the quality of food keeps going down. Window staff that assisted me was incredibly rude and short to me. I was there to pick up a King Cake my mother ordered for me for my birthday at my request. Yes, I chose this place for my birthday present cake. Extremely excited, we rushed to Community Bakery a hour after it was due to be complete. Drive up to the window only to be greeted like we were an inconvenience. Literarily all I did was give her the name and what it was and she gave us eye rolls and sighs. It was 11AM on a Wednesday- not busy. Once we got home to enjoy, the first cut was just as disappointing. The glaze was hard as a rock and the inside was incredibly dry. Even after warming up in the microwave. This should have been fresh. The pecan praline was nearly nonexistent- Several slices had none. ZERO. We ended up throwing it away after trying the microwave. We will not go back. I wanted to keep trying and support our local bakery, but it's not worth it anymore. There are too many better options. Quite frankly, my boyfriend went to Kroger in the midst of the disappointment and bought their King Cake- it was far superior. Kroger, y'all. for $10. My mother paid $28 for the disappointment plus tip. read more

I love love love their baked goods! I live in California so when I come to visit I make sure I eat here! In the past I have not been amazed by their sandwiches-it's the petit fours I'm addicted to. Today i had a DELICIOUS chicken bacon ranch croissant and it was warm and tasty (red tomato! Green lettuce!). I was happy to see the petit fours were STILL HERE and just as sweet and light as ever. I got two and ate the first one without hardly breathing. If you live here or are visiting the area-Go straight to the bakery case! Do not delay! read more
