Top 4 Bakeries in Louisville

  1. 1

    Crescent Hill

    Best of Louisville 2025 Bakery winner — the Crescent Hill bakery-cafe on Frankfort Avenue known for seasonal pastries, scratch breads and a weekend brunch counter.

  2. 2

    Plehn's Bakery

    St. Matthews

    Louisville favorite since 1924 — LEO's brunch-and-donut guide treats Plehn's as a Shelbyville Road institution for Derby pie, German-style pastries and the cakes that have marked a century of Louisville birthdays.

  3. 3

    Schnitzelburg

    LEO's Schnitzelburg donut-and-pastry pick — a Louisville classic whose bacon-topped donut sits alongside a serious Kentucky pecan pie on the counter.

    The NuLu bakery-coffee corner on Market Street — USA TODAY's best cookie in America and LEO-tier writers' reflexive answer for Louisville's best chocolate-chip cookie.
