The shop is beautiful. It gives off bakery-lounge vibes. There is relaxing music playing and seating for a nice cup of coffee and a decadent dessert. My favorite dessert is the Hummingbird Cake. It is so rich it’s ingredients are balanced so you taste a little of everything in every bite! The frosting is to-die-for!!! No boxed mess—it is 100% homemade-fluffy and light whipped cream cheese that is not overly sweet.
Plus: they have half slices (good for diabetics or those dieting)—but call ahead. They don’t make this—they are a result of extra cake leftovers. The cupcakes are good but small/standard size for almost $4.00. But they do come in the same flavors as their cakes. Banana pudding taste cooked or baked.

If you haven’t gotten an opportunity to stop by and talk with the owner, you’re missing out. She’s an incredibly inspiring being with a big heart and sweet spirit! Not only does she bake sweets and custom cakes, she teaches classes and hosts summer camps. This family owned gem is more than their delicious products, they have a mission and a true calling!

Today was my first visit to this bakery. I walked in looking for a chocolate cake last minute, with a picture in hand from another review (the Black Wall Street chocolate cake). They did not have one ready to go, but had the supplies on hand to put one together for me within a few hours. It was beautiful, and it was delicious! Seriously, so good.
I also got a strawberry cupcake that I ate right away that’s probably the best I’ve had - you could tell it had real strawberries in it! The staff and owner were so kind and the cakes were delicious. I’m definitely coming back another time and sharing with my friends! They deserve all the business!
ETA 8/1/24: the chocolate cake was even better today than yesterday! Just wow. Definitely going back!

We’re from out of town (Michigan) and stopped here to grab some cupcakes to help celebrate a 40th. They were amazing and the team in the shop was great too! Definitely stop here and get your sugar fix! (We also bought a blondie and it was one of the best ever!)

I didn't even know this little shop existed until we went to the store next door. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but once you walk in it's a decent sit down cafe with wifi. The baked goods are great! Got a two thumbs up for their chocolate chip brownies and Nutella cupcakes from my two boys. It's a nice place to sit and work as well. Plenty of parking! Definitely go visit if you're looking for a sweet treat or a place to hide out and work.

The owners are very friendly. I’m a huge fan of their apple cinnamon rolls. They’re amazing. The last time I was at their bakery; they were aware that I would be stopping in and saved me a cinnamon roll as they were selling out quickly. That’s top tier customer service. Plus I haven’t found anything that was not up to par. My coworkers and I enjoy getting treats from them.

Bull City Bakeshop is one-of-a-kind. I am obsessed! My girls love going for a sweet treat on our off day and the pumpkin muffin is my absolute favorite. I also use Bull City Bakeshop whenever I need a wholesale/caterer and they consistently hit it out of the park!

I just had the most life changing pumpkin chocolate chip muffin I’ve ever had in my entire life. The decor is superb, the atmosphere is phenomenal. And LITERALLY everything I tasted was incredible. (I will be returning ASAP when in the chapel hill area) but I ended up purchasing 4 pastries based on looks and the flavors did not disappoint in the slightest. 10/10 would recommend.

If you haven't gone to Bull City Bake Shop, you are truly missing out! The peanut butter cookie was the best that I have ever bought at a bakery and the blondie was delicious also! The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is beyond kind! Lydia, the owner, pours everything into her bake shop. You are likely to see her smiling face in the kitchen while you order! I have meant to take pictures of the goodies but I end up eating them prior to picture taking.

Bill City Bake Shop is sincerely THE BEST bakery in the area. They have been open about a year but I have been more times than I can count. Quality is always consistent and everything is delicious. Their cookies and cupcakes are to die for, and all the associates there are so kind. The owner/baker is a Black woman and she is truly an inspired pastry artist. I always suggest this place because of its high quality and great service. I would say my favorite things have been the sea salt chocolate chip cookies and the birthday cupcake. Literally obsessed with this place!

I went in for cupcakes for a friend's birthday based off of the 5 star reviews. Great atmosphere, super polite but the vanilla cupcake that I had tasted like dough and was dry and the chocolate icing tasted like nothing but sugar. I Live for sweets and I couldn't eat the icing especially when I couldn't even taste the chocolate. Can't say that I will be back. $3.75 per cupcake and I could've made them and not had the after taste that won't go away. I sure hope it was just my experience or just a bad round.

This little gem was discovered while I was on my way to Panera, late morning on a Thursday. The staff were attentive and friendly with good suggestions. My order consisted of a slice of banana nut bread and a blondie with caramel (can't remember the name). The blondie had a good balance of salty and sweet. Now, the banana nut bread- SO GOOD. Incredibly moist and melts in your mouth. It had fresh bananas and crunchy walnuts (I think they were walnuts). Definitely will be a repeat purchase. The carrot cake is next.
This shop is tucked away, but well worth the pitstop. I'm glad I had issues with the Panera app.
