By far the best bakery with the best espresso in Bloomington. Got me through college with a smile. Will forever love this place. Very kind and accommodating staff. Cute outdoor seating to enjoy your treat. Thank you Peter for the kindness and the great service. read more

Friendly little coffee and bakery shop in historic building in downtown Bloomington. I guess they're still following some kind of protocol by only allowing two people in at a time-that being said not many more could fit in there. Good selection of baked goods and pastries. Good coffee. Seating out front is nice. Good option for basic coffees and baked goods. read more

My partner and I have been to this place in Bloomington a couple of times. Both times we got their coffees and I have to saw they are pretty good their pastries are good too. Friendly service from the staff, the spot is nice and clean but you only can order from inside and. Then they literally have maybe 6 chairs outside for sitting. We wouldn't mind going back for their coffee and trying out some of their baked goods next time we are in Bloomington. read more

I'm Still thinking about the pecan bar, ya'll. It's almost been a week and I can still tasted the sticky sweet roasted deliciousness of this part shortbread bar. It's sinful and oh-so-good. I was also super impressed by their vegan chocolate chip cookie. We also ordered two lattes and the almond cake for the road. This is a carryout only bakery with a small storefront that limits only two customers in the space at a time (as of July 2023). The service was friendly and down to business. You can tell they keep a steady flow of customers. Two Sticks is located just a block or so off the main square of Bloomington. Run, don't walk, yo this amazing bakery! read more

Arrived before yelp posted times open to find bakery closed with note it is permanently closed until the fall.

Great spot for coffee that I feel like isn't talked about enough. All their coffee syrups are Housemade which include honey caramel and brown sugar cinnamon syrup. Only place I've seen so far that has Housemade syrups instead of just store bought syrups. Amazing. The coffee flavor still really shines through even though by the color I felt it would be a little too milky. One of the top places for coffee now in Bloomington. read more

Best bakery in town!! I also cannot get over the coffee drinks, I'm convinced they have magical coffee makers lol. And the coffee and baked goods always taste like they were made with love. Will always be one of my go-to's read more

We were very excited to check out this local bakery and show our support. However, they have a 2 person in the shop at a time rule. We felt unwelcome and rushed as we didn't have time to really look at the baked goods. We ended up just getting coffee and we were told to wait outside (keep in mind there was no one else behind us in line). The coffee was good but still unsatisfied with the lack of hospitality. read more

Cinnamon roll and samosa were so delicious I would come back just for those!!! Wasn't too impressed by the frittata and lemon blueberry bruschetta. The coffee was great too, and friendly staff! A must stop if you're in the area. Go double on the samosas! read more

I am IN LOVE WITH TWO STICKS. They have the BEST CHEESECAKE I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY WHOLE LIFE. Not exaggerating when I say they make everything to absolute perfection. It's a necessity to come here every time I'm in Bloomington! I got 2 cheesecake pieces (only one is pictured because I ate the first too quickly), piece of vanilla cake (so thick), blueberry danish (SO DENSE IT WAS FABULOUS), peanut butter blondie (superb, so peanut buttery), and lemon loaf slice (I'm picky about lemon flavored things but this was just the right amount of lemony). read more

Delicious delectables abound here! We love the pecan bars...taste like they fell down from heaven. My wife loves the cookies too! Get there earlier in the day for the best selection. Yum. read more

My sweets took me to Two Sticks Bakery this morning ! They're a small establishment, right now they have heavy covid restrictions. Only two people are allowed in at a time. They have a counter that showcases their baked goods and they also serve coffee. The waitstaff was absolutely cheery and made me feel welcome. We both got coffee, forgetting to add the cream from their cream station. It was still absolutely delicious ! I typically don't drink black coffee, but it honestly didn't need anything added to it. The cinnamon roll was actually the best cinnamon roll I've ever had. It definitely outdid Cinnabon. The icing tasted like a buttercream with an added citrus flair. The roll itself was packed full of flavor and very moist ! We took our coffee and enjoy it whilst walking around a nearby park. Definitely recommend ! read more

the food there is so fire i had a blueberry cheesecake type of thing and it was life changing

First off: there is no indoor seating so know that ahead of time for planning. More of an in-and-out type of place, with outdoor seating in warmer months. That said, I came here due to the great Yelp reviews. I opted for a (tad pricy!) orange sweet roll and a turmeric ginger tea. The tea was phenomenal and so so well priced. The roll was delicious, but I was hoping for just a TOUCH more spice (like cinnamon or clove) to bring the whole thing together. The service was very helpful and kind. Will def be back to try something else once it's warmer out! read more

Two Sticks continues to impress. Such a great bakery. Friendly people work there and the two owners are terrific. Went by on Friday and had a (huge) chocolate chip cookie and a delicious mocha. My partner had a cappuccino and two of the (NEW) flourless chocolate mint cookies. She loved the cookies! The only thing that could possibly improve this awesome local women-owned bakery is if they baked bread. Bloomington really needs a decent brick and mortar bakery that makes good bread. Love you Two Sticks! read more

I love their pecan bars, very sweet, but a perfect pick me up! I pair it with an iced butterscotch latte with whole milk. Very yummy pastry's all around, good cinnamon rolls (i'm not a fan of cream cheese frosting personally but my friend is and loves it). read more

Very cute place but ordering was a little difficult as the menu was hard to understand. They also only allow two people in the building at a time, so be prepared for that! read more

I literally drove more than 70 miles to get a s'mores bar from Two Sticks Bakery, and it's been one of the best decisions I've made all week. The s'mores bars are a seasonal item, apparently, so if you're reading this during the fall, go get one! They are delicious! House-made graham cracker cookie base, chocolate ganache and a thick layer of toasted marshmallow creme. It was heaven. I ate it paired with a black coffee spiked with ginger syrup (another seasonal delicacy). My word. The combo was divine. We also got the coffee cake (two thumbs up), chocolate chip cookie (two thumbs up) and a latte made with oat milk. They gave us a sample of oat milk to taste -- and wow. I'm an oat milk believer. They also have oat milk available for free if you want to pour some in your coffee. This is a cute little bakery, and there are maybe three tables available, so not a huge amount of seating. They also tend to sell out sometimes, so if you have your heart set in something, you should probably get there in the morning. read more

This picture looks like crap, but it was such a good pie. It is called a sugar cream pie and it is Indiana's state pie. The crust is also divine. It is flakey and well made. This is crème brûlée in a pie. It is perfection. The staff was friendly. I am willing to bet everything they make is good!! read more

One of the best chai lattes (w/ oat milk) I've had. The only downside is it's prices for the sizes. They have great treats. It gets busy and it's very small so waiting can get tight read more

Cinnamon Roll! If you remember nothing else about this post know that this is the best cinnamon roll you have ever had or ever will have. While visiting Bloomington my daughter said I had to try them and got me one my last day in town. Dang! If it had been the first day I would have been back every other day. . Big, fluffy, cinnamony fork tender lusciousness with a healthy dollop of cream cheese icing. Cinnabon, take 5 steps back, there is a new king in town. read more

Wonderful baked goods! Loved the quiche and the coffee cake. The lattes were not that good. And weren't served to us until 15 minutes after the baked goods. Long line, which is a result of the incredibly yummy pastries, but they need to figure out how to make coffee efficiently. Also cost us $22. read more

I like their pastries, especially their pecan bar, but this review is for something else. Their custom cakes are quite divine. I pre-ordered a blueberry lemon cake for a friend, and had to pick up a day earlier, so they recommended I change forma whipped cream frosting to their traditional buttercream. The cake remained moist, and no cracks on the exterior! Studded with blueberries, plenty of flavor. A TON of icing, but it is sooooo good.. I only wish my birthday came three times a year! read more

To the fluffiest sugar cookie I've ever had, I adore you. Your texture and taste surpass all others. I don't fully understand how you were made to such perfection- moist but not too gooey, baked but not too dry (Paul Hollywood would approve). Your colossal size made it a feat to eat in one sitting, but I prevailed. I will think of you often, sweet cookie. read more

Excellent bakery. The apple turnover was delicious as was my wife's cherry danish. The chocolate chip cookie was truly one of the best ever. They are a bit over the top with masks and social distancing (only two in the bakery at a time) but ignore that and try the delicious pastries. You will not be disappointed read more

Amanda Armstrong and Kassie Jensen are baking goddesses! Tucked into a developing area off the main drag of Bloomington, you probably know you are headed to the bakery unless you live in one of the new apartments in the area (or even upstairs). The second you crack the door to walk into the open space, the smell of heaven is going to almost knock you over! Prepare yourself to buy whatever just came out of the oven if you get there early enough - for me, that was a peach turnover with the most flavorful peaches, perfect pastry, and amazing caramelized sugar. We popped in for a quick treat when they first opened and last week, I stopped by to take a sampling to co-workers... now they all love me. Between those to visits, a few things worth mentioning and trying: Chocolate chip cookies - they got it right with the pinch of salt, so good! Gluten free crispy bar of some sort, not your mama's rice krispie! Peach turnover - see above and imaging me making mmmm noises Orange cardamon cinnamon rolls - I think this might be one of their classic staples. They are HUGE and we cut it into 1/4s to try, so good! My favorite - the chocolate cherry scones. I am almost always disappointed in scones, but after you have a really good one, you just want it again and keep trying. This one delivered! Gluten free peanut butter bars were good, but I liked everything else better! I love that they have sweet and savory options and are making what makes sense for the season and plan to have a rotating menu... I plan to try it! Looking forward to ordering a cake from them soon. read more

I really loved this place. The coffee was amazing. The menu is smaller than a typical coffee shop but each item on the menu is made well, high quality. I had an iced coffee with oat milk and butterscotch. It was delicious. My friends ordered tea, a gluten free oatmeal cookie, and a peanut butter bar. I was able to try each item and they were amazing. The peanut butter bar was my favorite. It was hard to pick a dessert as each one looked great. The store front is small with a small parking lot (about 4-5 spaces). There is street parking available. It was busy but the line moved fast. The employees were concerned with getting our order exactly to our liking. They seemed to care about every order they took in the same way. The employees were kind, helpful, and offered suggestions. A really outstanding place. read more

I stopped in for a quick cup of drip coffee and to grab a Danish before getting back out on the road. They have a relatively small counter area where the pastries sit and you ask the cashier to select them for you. I went with the Blueberry Cream Cheese Danish and it was excellent! Lots of filling and flavor with a light, but sturdy Danish shell. The Danish are more compact in size, being more deep and less long than the kind you see in supermarkets. The Danish was very good! The cashier also got my drip coffee for me and was pleasant to deal with. I was thinking maybe a five star rating for the service and quality. But then I tried to drink the coffee and could tell it was freaking too hot. A small sip and I could feel the taste buds surrendering to the heat. So, I took the insulating sleeve off the outside of the cup and set the coffee in my car's cupholder and ate the Danish without the coffee. Time passed as I parked my car in the 35 degree weather, walked nearly 3 blocks to get lunch, ate in the restaurant, and then back to my car and the coffee was still quite hot! It was drinkable and tasted fine, but seriously, coffee that is that hot nearly an hour later is just crazy! It doesn't need to stay at brewing temperature once it is brewed. Let it cool so your customers who actually like drinking the coffee with the pastries can do so. Go for the pastries, but pass on the coffee. Review #1564 read more

Everything is delicious. Used two sticks for my wedding cupcakes and guests raved. I always stop in to grab treats when my in-laws come to visit or when I just need a pastry that I know will make me smile. #comfort #supportlocal #sogood read more

I've never had a negative experience here. I'm impressed with how nimbly they navigated the switch to online ordering and pick-up when the pandemic hit. Their customer service has always been top-notch, and their ability to connect with customers has no doubt helped them as COVID regulations tightened. And the food? AMAZING. The pecan bars are ALWAYS a good idea, as is the garlic/thyme/potato focaccia. For drinks, a butterscotch latte is always my go-to. I've also had lovely savory items like frittata and hand pie (I believe I got the sweet potato/zucchini/goat cheese one this fall). You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

Amazing bakery! We've gotten Two Sticks several times, but I never remember to take a picture! Highly recommend ordering 4-5 items and then trying a bit of everything. The menu rotates seasonally and frequently features local produce. They have adorable gifts/custom cards inside as well. The espresso is fantastic too. The staff are kind. Every category earns 5/5. Tip: Check their Instagram story before going if you want to know what's available for the day. They are a small batch bakery, so the goal is to sell out by the end of the day. They usually do, so if you want the biggest selection, I recommend going earlier in the morning. read more

Two Sticks Bakery - strawberry cake, coffee cake, sugar cookie, scone (all half-portions b/c I cut mine before I remembered to take the photo)! - Bakeries Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

The confections and coffee here are remarkable. Two words: Pecan freaking bar. I had actually come here hoping to get a difference pastry case item that I had seen on Yelp and was kind of disappointed that it wasn't available, but it turned out to be a good thing because that pecan bar was All the flavors and textures you totally love and pecan pie without the huge mess, plus a little bit of extra calmly goodness, and an amazing shortbread base instead of pie crust. I can't overemphasize how delish this was. I also couldn't overestimate my sticker shock at how little this breathtaking pastry and a 20-oz mug of coffee cost (we just got back from Key West, and I would have expected to pay almost twice as much there). That said, don't come here to do work unless you don't mind using your data plan to connect your devices. I was really surprised that in the year 2020, so few businesses in the Bloomington area offer wifi for their guests. I had originally headed there with the intention of getting some work done, but wound up having a nice time chit-chatting with the staff and one of their suppliers instead and took the head on using my cell data to get a couple of must-do tasks tackled for work. Also, the parking situation is a touch tight, especially if you have a large vehicle or a bike rack. my friends who live in Bloomington said that they've parked at a nearby business and gotten some stink eye from the business owner when they walked over to Two Sticks from the adjacent lot. This is going to be a must visit venue in my future visits to see our friends who live down in Bloomington. read more

This place reminds me of a cross between a weird, fun college town bakery and something you'd expect to find in Copenhagen. It's just got that so perfect vibe you've been looking for. Minimalist, beautiful, and smells that'll knock you out of the park. Their baked goods rotate daily but they have some staples (you can always expect a chocolate chip cookie and a gluten-free, dairy-free variation, for example). They make the best scones I've ever had. Perfectly moist, bursting with tart raspberry goodness. I'm sure they probably rotate out their scone fruits but that's the kind I had recently and man alive was it good. They usually also have some sort of gluten-free choc pb situation, plus coffee cake, danishes, cinnamon, focaccia, cakes, and my five year old's fav homemade rainbow sprinkle sugar cookies. The staff is a small team of charming people who all know how to make THE BEST oat milk chai lattes. They can make oat milk anything your heart desires. Also their hot chocolate is killer. They're all about local and it shows in a variety of ways ranging from the coffee beans they use for their fresh brews to the artists they work with for their beautiful mugs. To put it simply - Two Sticks is the first place any of us wants to go on our birthday. Enough said! read more

I have had numerous sweet treats from Two Sticks and every time I'm blown away with how delicious they are. This week for Valentine's Day I got to try the chocolate roll and it was amazing. It's like a cinnamon roll but chocolate. I was skeptical but I've been dreaming of another one ever since! I was torn with whether I preferred the pecan bar or the mocha cheesecake bar. Probably a tie. I can't say enough good things about Two Sticks. Go there. Trust me. read more

Food is AMAZING! Was given a couple different items from a coworker and would absolutely recommend them!

This is one of my favorite places in Bloomington!! It's still pretty young--they just celebrated their first anniversary. I could talk about this place all day. Here's some highlights: 1. All their baked goods and drinks are incredible. I haven't tried a thing I didn't like. My family's favorites are the chocolate chip cookies, veggie hand pies, and cinnamon rolls. They also serve the best Chai I've tried in Indiana. 2. It's women owned and operated! 3. They're a great addition to the Bloomington community: they partner with other local small businesses (Switchyard Brewing often), they source as many of their ingredients from local vendors as possible, and they carefully compost and recycle everything they can. Follow them on Instagram to see videos of the bakery case every morning so you can see if they made your favorites today. My parents live on Carmel and are now hooked on Two Sticks, so any time I'm going to Carmel, they check Instagram beforehand and place their orders with me. read more

Unbelievable pastries - scones, cinnamon rolls, etc.. This is my default stop when we come to visit my son!

My daughter and I have only had the pleasure of visiting this bakery and cafe once but we will definitely be back. Their baked goodies are delicious and sell out super fast so get there early. We couldn't get over how delicious their coffee was... I had a cappuccino with oat milk and my daughter had a butterscotch latte with oat milk and despite the fact we forgot to add sugar we thoroughly enjoyed every drop of it! Highly recommend this bakery, great choices on baked goods, delicious coffee and wonderful customer service! read more
