Absolutely the best traditional bakery in the region . I now my drive 80 miles to get there but continue to shop there. I always go to their original site on Union. I rated the atmosphere high because it is what I want when I go to a bakery . Good service in a place filled with history . I go there for their amazing sugar cookies. I especially like the cookies they do for holidays and the seasons. Their Flying Pig cookies were perfect for many meetings! I rated the

Wonderful bit of old school Bakersfield that I appreciate and enjoy. They're not cheap but their cookies are great. The cupcakes are good as well if not limited in what they offer up for sale. Lots of things need to be ordered and aren't just regularly stocked in the case. All that said, I am addicted to their sugar cookies and the staff are all just nice people to be around.

I was born & raised in good ol’ Bakersfield, every local there knows this bakery is a STAPLE to our town! This place holds a special place in my and my family’s hearts. This is where we came for “Donut Friday’s” when my girls were little and going to elementary. It was a thing we did and looked forward to every Friday. Years passed and we held that tradition but it hasn’t been the same since we’ve moved. Yet, when we visit family and get a chance to visit home, we always stop here! Best little donut bakery in town! We love this place! 10/10!!

If you haven’t had the chance to try Smith’s Bakeries yet, you’re missing out! While you can find their treats at various spots around town, I highly recommend going straight to the source for the freshest and best selection. Their Smiley Face cookie is a classic, and it never disappoints – it’s sweet, soft, and always brings a smile. But don’t miss out on their seasonal designs! They’re so fun to try, and it’s a great way to celebrate different times of the year with delicious treats. And if you’re a fan of thumbprint cookies, make sure to grab some! They’re melt-in-your-mouth good. I also tried their Champagne Cake, and let me tell you – it’s just as perfect as you’d imagine. Light, fluffy, and packed with flavor, it’s a must-try. Smith’s is a local gem for all things baked, and I can’t recommend it enough!
