Muddy's Bake Shop · Broad Avenue
Muddy's keeps its Broad Avenue bakery focused on cupcakes and other baked sweets. The playful approach dates to the shop's 2008 opening; check the counter for the day's selection.
Frost Bake Shop · East Memphis
Frost brings a polished bakery counter to the Laurelwood area, with custom cakes sharing space with smaller pastries for an everyday stop. Its display commonly spans cupcakes, macarons, cookies, and decorated celebration work. The broad selection makes it useful whether the plan is a single sweet after lunch or a centerpiece ordered for a larger gathering.
La Baguette French Bread and Pastry Shop · East Memphis
La Baguette has supplied Poplar Avenue with French bread and pastry since the 1970s. Baguettes and croissants remain central, but the counter also serves cakes, cookies, and savory lunch choices. It feels especially suited to a midday visit that starts with a sandwich and ends with something laminated, iced, or filled from the pastry case.
Lucy J's Bakery · Crosstown
Lucy J's works from Crosstown Concourse with a neighborhood bakery mission and a menu built around breads, pastries, and celebration treats. Stop for a croissant or loaf, then scan the case for the day's cookies and sweets before exploring the rest of the Concourse.
Jacques Louise Gluten Free Bakery · Cooper-Young
Jacques Louise moved into its larger Cooper Street bakery in July. Its gluten-free, fried yeast doughnuts are available on Saturdays and Sundays, giving the bakery's regular pastry selection a weekend reason to visit.
