11 Best Bakeries in Charlotte, North Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"Haley Woodard combines classic French techniques garnered from Charlotte’s own Johnson & Wales University with regional recipes in her pop-up, pre-order, and pick-up microbakery. A generous handful of staple and seasonal cake and pastries options are available to order online — a whole wheat vanilla cake made of Carolina Grounds flour brightened with an apricot filling and frosted with cardamom buttercream; the cream cheese Danish evoking a Sunday morning everything bagel; and the vegan blueberry lavender scones. Many of these can be made vegan and gluten-free accommodations with a click online (customers need to order 24 to 48 hours in advance). Flavors of the season, fig leaf or roasted peach, and of the South, black tea or candied pecan, stand out online and on the counter of Wheatberry’s local cafe partners." - Kayleigh Ruller
