Certain countries are renowned for their baked goods. Most notably France, a nation synonymous with baking excellence where even their baguette is revered enough to have achieved UNESCO world heritage status. In the French Republic, there is a specific distinction between a bread bakery (boulangerie) and a pastry shop (pâtisserie).

In the United States, we combine the two for a one-stop-shop convenience. Our bakeries typically sell a wide range of flour-based (and/or gluten-free) baked goods, including breads, rolls, pastries, cakes, pies, and doughnuts, among other items. But if there's one thing we can all agree on, every town needs a good bakery. (Check out the best donut shop in every state.)

Bakers know firsthand the meticulousness baking demands—precise timing and measurements make all the difference. Luckily for us, there are hardy souls everywhere around the country who have both the skill and the determination to do it.

To find the top best bakery you must try in every state, 24/7 Tempo reviewed articles and rankings on a variety of sites including Eater, Taste of Home,Love Food, and Business Insider, as well as local and regional sources, basing our final choices on editorial discretion. (This is the most iconic dessert in every state.)
