Overall Rating: 3.5 stars (if Yelp allowed) Service/Ambiance (5 stars): Super friendly people. Love the exposed brick and the decor gives it a nice city vibe in this small town. Food (3 stars): We tried the sticky bun, cinnamon bun with icing and a cheese danish. The icing on the cinnamon roll was the best part. Both buns were more on the dry/bread-like side and I prefer a soft/gooey-middle bun. The cheese danish was our least favorite. I think all of the pastries would have been better warmed, so I would recommend taking your baked goods home and microwaving before eating. Coffee (2.5 stars): As recommended by another Yelper, get coffee at a nearby coffee shop. I had a hot vanilla latte (not good) and my husband had the crème brûlée latte (better, can't really taste the coffee). read more

Oh mercy. Is it possible to be addicted to cinnamon rolls?? Yep, I am. This time I went late in the day do they were low on choices, but since I love all of them, it was no problem. Consistently high quality items here, including the bread. There really is a difference ! I am sure I will be back here every time I am in the area. read more

An adorable bakery with great coffee and staff. We enjoyed the sticky bun the most, and went back for seconds at the end. They make fresh bread daily and have a schedule so you can plan ahead for your selection. The interactions with the staff definitely make you feel like you're home and in the South. The hospitality was refreshing, and customer appreciation was made clear. There is open seating, but there are a couple spots near the window, and they allowed us to have a semi-private breakfast date. read more

Super cute place. I ordered the bananas fosters latte and a couple scones. The latte was like watered down so I personally wasn't a fan. The bacon cheddar scone and pretzel was really nice and the whole family enjoyed it. However, the blueberry scone almost tasted undercooked so it was a let down. The service was really good though, everyone was really nice. read more

This is a solid bakery. Great cinnamon buns, good cheesecake, solid pecan pie. Nice owners too! Wish they had more variety but overall good read more

My friend from FV always told me how delicious Stick Boy is so we took a little drive to check it out. I didn't have time to sit and eat in so just grabbed a few items to go. I got the blueberry scone, sticky bun and pretzel. All of the other pastries looked equally delicious. The service was great and they were very fast and efficient. The seating area looked really cozy and next time I will try to spend a little more time inside and get a coffee drink. read more

This Bakery is just ok. Ordered a loaf of bread (Batard) which was really average. A bit dry and flavorless. The service was prompt, nice and overall there is a nice vibe. read more

Love this local bakery! They have an assortment of baked goods. My favorite item is the cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting, my husband likes the sticky bun. They also have different breads they sell each day. The yeast rolls on Friday are so delicious! If you're ever in Fuquay Varina, it's definitely worth a visit. read more

How have I never reviewed Stick Boy? Been a fan since I moved here in 2007. Stick-Boy is in Fuquay. There's parking in various places nearby in lots and on the street. It's such a cute shop with some seating inside & outside. Great coffee, friendly staff, delicious sweets & bread. Sourdough is amazing. Try the Sweet Potato Marshmallow Brioche as French toast.. you're welcome. My kids love the chocolate chip cookies. Their carrot cake is my favorite. In December try the peppermint ganache cake. Definitely worth a stop. Check it out. read more

Really interesting array of pastries. Their poppyseed muffin was not too sweet and their magic cookie really appealed to my love of marshmallow and coconut. Great place to get pastries and coffee in FV! read more

Came down here to visit family and needed a morning jolt. Stopped into Stick Boy and glad I did! I got a great Latte and Turtle Latte, and then the baked goods! Quite the array. I tried several scones and a brioche bun. I wanted to try a bread, but couldn't justify an entire loaf. It was all delicious. I highly recommend it as a morning treat! read more

What a great little place! The array of breads looked high quality, but I was in there for sugar. Bought a blueberry sour cream coffee cake, which we've been nibbling on for days. Had a piece of lemon lavender cake, which was the EXACT right balance of citrus to lavender. And when I said it was my first time in, they offered me a free cookie. (Did I mention I was in there for sugar?) The oatmeal raisin cookie was perfection itself. read more

I have gone here for about a decade, always had awesome staff. I have been going here more again lately and decided to leave a review, please make sure to come here if you haven't yet! Smoothies, pastries, cakes, coffee- all of it is great. read more

This is a charming little spot. It was my first visit and I was a little confused with the ordering process. The staff wasn't that helpful that looked annoyed that I was taking my time. However, walking in, I was greeted by the delightful aroma of fresh bakery items.We ordered coffee, chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies, a blueberry scone and a cherry-lime biscotti. The sugar cookies were some of the best I've ever had! Both the chocolate chip and sugar cookies had the ideal level of sweetness and stayed soft even days later. read more

Came by after a visit to the FV farmer's market and grabbed a couple of coffees. Tucked in to the downtown area, Stick Boy has a cute small cafe vibe (similar to Amelie's) and lots of bakery options! They sell freshly made biscuits, pizza dough, and pastries. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We got the bacon cheddar brioche and blueberry bagel and both were delicious! The lattes were, dare I say, much better than Starbucks! And cheaper too! I think we found our new coffee spot! 9/10 - I would give them a perfect 10 if they served breakfast options! Pretty pleaseeee read more

Paid $40 for a lemon pound cake that was so dry it was flaky. Shopping local failed big time. Too bad.

Trust me on this: get an oatmeal raisin cookie. It's SO GOOD. My family has also tried some brioche, and sticky buns. Everything is good, but that oatmeal raisin cookie has my heart lol read more

Just a quick pickup, but scones were scrumptious! The service was very friendly! Lots of business and satisfied customers!

Very very nice looking place. I was excited to see a new shop challenge my dedication to Cultivate. However, that didn't happen, but I was mostly pleased. About 3.5 stars worth of pleased. Like I said, it's got a beautiful feel to it. I like the atmosphere and simple but effective decor. There was barely audible music coming from somewhere. Have a look at their mission statement. I liked what they were saying. My biggest gripe...a gripe worth two whole stars, but I'm feeling positive and forgiving today, so I'll round up from 3 stars to 3.5. The worst thing about this place is the coffee. No, the coffee I ordered wasn't bad. But no self-respecting coffee shop should have Best Buy dates on their shelf. Roast dates only. Or don't buy it. That's the rule for real coffee aficionados. Without them, you're not a coffee shop - you're a grocery store. Best buy dates = stale coffee. The truffles were very rich but tasty enough. No complaints about the espresso. I feel like this shop has promise, with a great environment and probably fantastic pastries. Since sugar isn't really my thing, and coffee is, I'd happily give them love for their baking powers. But not for their coffee. read more

If you're going for bread, it's amazing. Even the desserts...but skip the coffee and walk around d the corner to one of the coffee shops.

Stick Boy has been one my absolute favorite discoveries in all of Fuquay-Varina since moving here two years ago. It's a local family owned bakery that makes handcrafted pastries and bread, and man do they absolutely knock it out of the park. Don't even get me started on the sourdough bread, it's a go-to order of ours and it's so dang good! I just love that I can come here in the morning, grab my favorite pastry (they have an amazing selection!), some coffee, have a nice conversation with the staff, and get my bread for the week when it's time. Everyone who works here is super pleasant with a true customer service attitude, and each visit is one I look forward to. Stick Boy also offers a mug club deal in which you purchase a mug (for a higher price) and receive free drip coffee and cold brew coffee for the entire year! It's such an epic deal especially for folks who drink coffee out every day. I won't speak on the current price, as it's now 2023 and may be different then it was last year, but it's always an amazing deal that's cheaper than purchasing coffee individually every day. So, it's worth considering if you live in Fuquay and drink coffee every morning. Verdict: If you're looking for a place to grab fresh pastries and coffee and need a new regular spot, or if you're just in the area and looking for a place to stop by, look no further. Stick Boy is the best bakery in town! Rating: 5 read more

First time visiting today and here are my thoughts : * Everything I bought was good .. cookies were fantastic...oatmeal raisin and chocolate oatmeal ...French batard was also excellent. * The cinnamon roll that I bought for my wife was great as well ..she is a bakery manager and loved it. * Very friendly staff as well ..I would say I'd go during the week next time as it was crowded on Saturday morning and I really didn't feel like I could browse and see everything they had . read more

Great drinks and great pastries. The staff are good but definitely seem tired however they get your order right and get it done quick.

OMG! What a find! Ever since my sister moved to NC from NJ over 20 years ago I haven't really found a great bakery. This place was awesome. Sure, not as large as a selection as at home but it definitely fits the bill. I went on some other fellow Yelper reviews and went with the sticky bun with walnuts and raisins as well as 2 cinnamon buns because you never know who may want some when they come over and an iced grasshopper latte. Everything was soooo good. I'm not even sure if my sister has come here before being that she works in Fuquay but she doesn't venture out like I do. I'll definitely tell her about my great experience. I'll be back! read more

Stick Boy Bread Company - Cinnamon roll with cream and crème brûlée coffee - Bakeries Near Me - Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina

The placed seemed to specialized in sourdough, but they know how to do a sticky sweet roll. The ones I got were moist and luscious. A chocolate chip muffin was substantial and delicious, if a little crumbly. I pondered a choice of loaf for some time and ended up with a cracked pepper and olive oil bread, which delivered nicely on the stated flavors. I still thought plenty about other items in their display. I was rushed a bit through the ordering process. They had smoothies as well that I could see trying if I were back in the neighborhood again. read more

If you are looking for the world's best bakery, this is your place ! I'm here visiting my daughter and she brought me in for a sweet treat this morning and boy, was it a treat! I really enjoyed the cinnamon roll with cream cheese on top while she has the danish. Both were very light, fluffy and super yummy! If you live in town or are just visiting, I highly recommend you check this place out! read more

The desserts sound amazing so I was really really looking forward to loving this place. Unfortunately, the cookie fell flat...little to no flavor and was more on the "cakey side" then cookie...so if you like that I recommend you try it out you may enjoy it. The key lime pie was just OK. Not sure what happened to my whole slice, but it was presented just as it is in my photo. I have a crazy sweet tooth so I wouldn't mind trying this place again, I wouldn't get a cookie or the key lime pie ever again...the coffee cake or cinnamon bun might be my next try perhaps I just got the wrong thing. read more

I did an online order for Parmesan peppercorn and sweet potato struan loafs sliced. The Parmesan peppercorn is best toasted with red pepper hummus. The sweet potato struan can take my money, my house, and my cars iykyk. That bread is so darn good that a driver being erratic instead of pissing me off it just saved them haha. I guess it's the non-smokers cigarette effect?! The team was very hospitable and now I'm going to need more bread for thanksgiving my Dad would love it. read more

Love grabbing coffee and pastries here in the mornings. Also their desserts and iced coffee are an excellent sweet treat. Always like to get some fresh bread to have at home. All the staff are always nice and helpful when I have been, which is quite a few times read more

Conveniently located in downtown Fuquay, the Stick Boy Bread Company has something delicious for everyone. One of my favorite items is their cinnamon buns that are soft and sweet with a delicious cinnamon flavor. Since they're open for pick up during this time of COVID19 social distancing we gave their pizza dough a try and loved it. Their pizza dough rises nicely, perfectly doughy just like you'd get at a good pizza place. If you need something to keep your kids busy, they're selling Easter cookie decorating kits that were really enjoyed by my bunch. Stop in and give Stick Boy Bread Company a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

This is the kind of bakery and coffee shop I've been looking for! Great selection of baked goods- I got the choc chip scone, cheese and bacon brioche, and took home a sourdough loaf and a slice of carrot and cheese cake for my family! All were delicious! The cappuccinos were the best I've had since being in the USA for almost 2 years (I'm from South Africa). Lovely flavor, good combination of coffee and milky foam and not too strong! Looking forward to visiting again soon with my family when lockdown is over and we can sit in the store to enjoy the experience even more! read more

Not bad. Staff was friendly- coffee was ok. I would go back and try again. Just didn't blow me away.

Three words: French batard bread. Hands down my favorite bread. I call them on my way home from work and have them slice a loaf so it's ready for my to pick up. The chocolate chip cookies and cinnamon rolls are also amazing! I haven't tried anything else but it all looks yummy. read more

The croissants are heavenly. Outside of Paris this is the next best place for them. Baguettes are the perfect texture. My kids love the cookies and my husband and I always split something new when we go. The matcha is also very good as well. read more

Bakery so good it made my Mama sad! Fresh fresh fresh- a place where creativity, talent, and fresh ingredients equal or surpass the friendly nature of the staff. Add in great coffee to wash the crumbs down with and you have a perfect start to your day. The constant stream of locals and visitors speak more truth than all my words ever could! The cool casual historic-industrial-rustic interior complimented all the above. A Happy Group of Residents & Vistor's with full bellys and some edible souvenirs! read more
