If you are looking for SWEET sweets, this is your place! If you want desserts with flavors and not overpowered with sugar, go somewhere else! We ordered a chocolate chip cookie because, to me, that is always the measure of a good bakery (like a delicious palmier is a signature of a good pastry bakery). The cookie had so much sugar that we threw away more than half. We also ordered a slice of cookie dough cake that was all sugar and no taste — it seemed to be made from the same dough as the chocolate chip cookie. That also went into the garbage after a few bites. The best of the bunch was a chocolate layer cake with a white cream or frosting between each layer. It reminded me of a HOSTESS HO-HO CAKE. This was actually the only item we finished. The cake was moist and the frosting was thick and chocolaty. Unfortunately, it was not enough for us make a return visit. Again, this is not the place if you want a delicious, flavorful dessert, not just sugar.

OMG where do i even begin with barb, her team, the treats and classes. I have taken 2 cake classes with barb, enjoyed MANY treats from the case and ordered several custom orders, and never ever have i been unsatisfied. my custom cakes always turn out so beautiful and are the center of my party every year, any get eaten down to the last crumb they’re always so delicious. cake classes at the food hall are so fun and you actually learn something! i hosted a private one earlier this year and barb and her team were so easy to work with and coordinate and all my girlfriends da LOVED the cake class and the cake was delicious. as far as dropping in for random goodies i always feel safe trying something new as i know barb and her team knock it out of the park. LBB is a staple in durham and an instant classic in this community. couldn’t imagine a perfect durham afternoon without stopping by to see one of the many smiling faces in her little corner. 10/10

Little Barb’s Bakery is an amazing bakery that has so many different food options. I use them for my custom cake orders, my company breakfast, and just normal drop by sweet treats. The people that work there are super helped. For instance, I am able to email Barb for large catering order suggestions and she is able to make me a custom order that fits all of my dietary needs and within budget.

Choosing what to order at Little Barb's is always a tough decision. Their dishes are my absolute favorites. I regret not reviewing their pumpkin cheesecake in time to capture a photo – it was divine! Barb and her team are incredibly friendly and welcoming, enhancing the overall Durham Food Hall experience
