When planning for my mother's 90th birthday, we booked a house at the beach and decided to make a whole week of celebration. We were told that Sugar Loaf Island Bakery was the best in the area, so we ordered several items throughout the week. Everything was wonderful. Along with an outstanding birthday cake, we ordered ham and cheese croissants, cheese danish, cinnamon buns, and carrot cake cupcakes. We couldn't have been happier with the flavor and quality of all baked items. And the owners went out of their way to help us find the perfect items for our celebration. Do yourself a favor and give Sugar Loaf Island Bakery a try!

Don't miss this place! Mighty, given the small size of this bakery. We grabbed chocolate croissants, a blueberry croissant, a ham n cheese croissant, a few cinnamon rolls, and some cannolis. Everything was freshly made and was delicious. I started a conversation with the guy at the counter, asking him about his sourdough. He said his starter dough was 55 years old! That's bananas and probably why this place is so tasty! We may have to drop by on our way home and grab some goodies to take with us. They also make cakes and most likely cater to the local restaurants.

I always Yelp "desserts" when I'm in a new city, and that's how I found this gem. It's a tiny bakery that's full of flavor. Walking in, it smelled so good! It was hard to decide what to get. We finally chose the lemon blueberry cheesecake and a cinnamon roll. I gave the five stars on this review for the cinnamon roll. Yum yum! Flakey dough, perfect amount of cinnamon, and a thin glaze of icing. You can get it warmed but we didn't because we thought we'd save it for later ... but it didn't make it out of the parking lot. It tasted great even room temperature. I'd definitely go back for the cinnamon rolls and try a few other items.

I absolutely adore this bakery. While in Atlantic beach for vacation I drove over to try it! As soon as you walk in, the shop has the delicious aroma of bread and pastry- the exact ambiance you'd want from a bakery. In one week my family and I tried: - chocolate croissant - ham and cheese croissant - chocolate chip pecan pull apart bread - eclairs/cream puffs - caramel apple tarts The eclairs/cream puffs were pure perfection. I've never had one better. The owner was so kind and clearly proud of the business which I loved to see. The service from the other staff was friendly! I highly, highly recommend.

My husband had been craving coconut cream pie and saw this bakery as were were driving to our boat. We were in there around 8:30 on a Saturday morning. The smell as soon as we walked in was YUM! There were a couple of folks ahead of us and they ordered several items , which kept the counter girl busy . She was apologetic for the wait, but it was of no inconvenience to us. The bakery case had not yet been filled but as we waited, the baker trickled in with trays full of delicious looking danishes and desserts. We were thrilled to see that there was indeed a coconut cream , so we ordered a piece along with a cinnamon roll, pecan tart and pepperoni roll croissant. I love that they use basically the same flaky croissant as their basis for the all of the danish and pastry. It is well textured and has the right amount of butter and ingredients. The cheesecakes looked amazing, although we did not purchase . The only reason that I did not give 5 stars is that the place needs a little update to include some more attractive signage and bakery cases are much more attractive when completely filled up with yummies. We will return on our next trip to the area, for sure!

Cute little bakery. Go early because they close when they sell out - and also the good stuff will sell out first!

Such a fun bakery! Everyone is super nice and you can tell their food is made with love! You need to get there early, I came because I saw fresh bread Fridays and arrived at 12:30 and they were completely sold out. I'll definitely be setting my alarm to arrive at 8 AM when they open! I ordered a chocolate croissant and he suggested that they warm it up. OMG! This literally is the best thing I've ever eaten in my life!
