Bakeries in Gainesville: Cuban pastries, bagels and cookies

Last checked Oct. 9, 2026. Refreshed every three months.

Gainesville’s bakeries are spread across the city: a Cuban bakery on SW 2nd Avenue, a bagel shop downtown on SW 4th Avenue, a cookie chain near Butler Plaza and a cookie shop on NE 23rd Avenue in the northeast. For ice cream and other sweets, see our ice cream and desserts list.

How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside Gainesville’s city limits, the same data behind our local directory, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 9, 2026. Several bakeries in our records have no website of their own, or a website that no longer belongs to the bakery, and are left off until a second official source confirms them. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. Run a bakery? Write to us to correct or add your entry.
