While the name-brand cookie manufacturers’ baked goods or grocery store sheet cakes can sometimes hit the spot, you might be in the mood for something a bit more homemade. Below, you can read about some of the best bakeries in Salt Lake City so you can have a go-to spot to take your family for a sweet treat.
Fillings & Emulsions
The owners of Fillings & Emulsions describe this spot as a Latin and eclectic patisserie, and we believe this description sums up the establishment pretty well. They’re happy to give any first-time patron a free sample so they can learn which flavor they may like the best.
Fillings & Emulsions specializes in creating macarons, and there’s no shortage of flavor options. If you prefer the more traditional flavors, you can order the Chocolate Raspberry or Vanilla Salted Caramel macarons. You can also get some more out-there flavors, including the Florentine Dulce, Blue Raspberry, Strawberry Lemon, Marshmallow Blackberry, Mojito Blueberry, Passion Pineapple, Pistachio Dark Cherry, and Grapefruit Mango.
One unique thing about Fillings & Emulsions that we love is their educational baking classes. You can sign up for one of several classes that this establishment offers throughout the year. The classes cover various topics, including bread making, dough lamination, and macaron making.
Carlucci’s Bakery
Calucci’s Bakery is a quaint spot that’s just north of Pioneer Park in Salt Lake City. Before you head into Calucci’s Bakery, you may consider visiting another restaurant on the same strip, including Tony Caputo’s or The Rose Establishment. If you want to get your meal and sweet treat all in one spot, Carlucci’s has plenty of hearty, savory breakfast and lunch options for your enjoyment.
The bakery offers breakfast options all day, so you can pick up one of two quiche varieties that are served daily. The flavors are always changing, so be sure to call ahead so you know what to anticipate. Feel free to get the quiche on its own or pair it with a refreshing side salad. Another breakfast option is the breakfast burrito that comes packed with cheddar cheese, green chiles, scrambled eggs, and rosemary potatoes.
If you’re coming in a bit later for lunch, feel free to order a mouthwatering sandwich, including the roast beef, Black Forest ham, or garlic and herb goat cheese sandwiches. You can also warm up on a cold winter day with a hearty bowl of tomato basil soup. Once you finish your main meal, you can head over to the pastry case and order sweets like the Decadence with Raspberry, the Napoleon, the vanilla bean cheesecake, or the tiramisu. Visit Carlucci’s Bakery anytime between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
Mrs. Backer’s Pastry Shop
Mrs. Backer’s Pastry Shop is a bakery that’s been around since 1941. The ownership of this establishment is currently in the third generation of the same family, so you can expect the same excellent recipes and commitment to customer satisfaction that existed during the establishment’s early years. The employees at Mrs. Backer’s never use frozen ingredients. Everything is fresh and made from scratch, so you know that everything you order will taste as fresh as it can possibly be.
When you visit Mrs. Backer’s, you may be positively overwhelmed by the number of choices you have. You can order baked goods like rolls, breads, eclairs, pies, raspberry cream cheese charts, brownies, cookies, cupcakes, French pastries, and donuts.
While Mrs. Backer’s is a full-service bakery, the employees take special pride in the beautiful flowered cakes they make. These cakes feature truly unique designs, as the employees use custom-made decorating tips to create sunflowers, daffodils, and other beautiful floral creations on top of their cakes. All cakes have Mrs. Backer’s signature buttercream frosting that will leave you begging for the recipe.
Feel free to visit Mrs. Backer’s anytime between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. You can also stop in anytime between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday. One thing we love about Mrs. Backer’s is that every customer can get a free cupcake on their birthday, so you can enjoy a sweet treat on the house on your special day.
Eva’s Bakery
Eva’s Bakery on South Main Street is a picturesque bakery that’s open seven days a week. You can come in Monday through Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. for breakfast and lunch.

Eva’s Bakery starts off strong with its breakfast menu, which includes the croissant sandwich, the Boulange Benedict, and the roasted beef and avocado toast. Here at Bountiful Mazda, a few of our staff members have made the stuffed French toast a personal favorite. This breakfast item comes with blueberry compote and a lemon cream cheese filling that’s sure to satiate any sweet craving you have.
Some lunch items from Eva’s Bakery include the roasted golden beet salad, the Margarita flatbread, and the brunch flatbread. There are also a few options for diners with dietary restrictions, including the vegan plate that features arugula, white bean puree, orzo salad, olive oil, and ratatouille crostini.
While the breakfast and lunch plates are truly impressive, the pastry options are on another level. Some of our favorites include the French macarons, which are available in lemon, pistachio, raspberry, and vanilla flavors. You can also browse the display case for treats like the canneles, fruit tarts, sticky buns, almond croissants, and cinnamon rolls.As sweet as the delicacies at these bakeries are, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a sweeter treat than a new Mazda vehicle at Bountiful Mazda. You can visit our dealership in person to start your car-buying journey or browse our inventory of new vehicles online. Our friendly and knowledgeable sales representatives are eager to help you find the vehicle that satisfies your car preferences more than a glazed donut satisfies your sweet tooth.
