Best Bakeries in Savannah
Savannah, Georgia — updated August 21, 2026
Savannah's best bakeries close early and, in several cases, shut down a weekday entirely. Here are eight places worth planning a morning around, ranked by how much of the baking they actually do.
Listings verified
Savannah bakes on a morning schedule. Almost every place on this list stops serving between 2pm and 5pm, and three of them close a full weekday, so an afternoon plan is usually a failed plan. The range runs from a laminated-pastry operation out in Sandfly to a French counter on Victory Drive to the pastry cases attached to Broughton Street coffee bars.
1. Auspicious Sandfly
This is the most bakery-first entry here: hand-crafted breads and pastries with a full coffee bar attached, and a 4.8 rating across 675 reviews, the highest score on the list from a substantial base. The menu runs to an apricot basil croissant loaf, a pear and almond croissant, cream cheese danish, ham and cheese, and smoked salmon. Note the schedule before driving out to Skidaway Road: open Wednesday through Sunday only, 7am to 3pm. The Whitemarsh property keeps the same days and hours, and the sister restaurant Bread and Butter there serves brunch Wednesday to Sunday from 8am.
2. Le Café Gourmet Bakery
A dedicated bakery on East Victory Drive, holding 4.5 from more than 1,000 reviews, which is a settled number rather than an early one. Éclairs are the signature, including an original and a blueberry maple bacon version. It sits well outside the historic district, so it draws more neighborhood traffic than tour traffic. Open 7am to 5pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 9am to 5pm Sunday, and closed Wednesday. That Wednesday closure catches people out more than anything else about the place.
3. Goose Feathers Cafe & Bakery
The most-reviewed bakery proper in the city center: 4.5 across 3,135 reviews on Barnard Street, a rating that has been tested by a very large crowd over a long stretch. It works as a breakfast, brunch and lunch stop rather than a pastry-only counter, with catering pickup and delivery available and online ordering. Hours are 7:30am to 2:30pm Monday through Friday and 8am to 2:30pm on weekends. Given the location a block off the squares, the mid-morning stretch is when the tour groups arrive.
4. Flora and Fauna Savannah
A neighborhood bakery, coffee house and supper club on Bull Street south of Forsyth, running biscuits, breakfast and pastries with New School espresso. The 4.7 rating rests on 305 reviews, the thinnest base here, so treat it as promising rather than proven. Hours are simple and short: 8am to 2pm, Monday through Sunday, with no closing day to track. The daytime menu is the one to look at if you are coming for the biscuits, and the 2pm cutoff means it is a morning stop only.
5. Maté Factor
A yerba mate and coffee house on East Hall Street that describes itself as a wholesome bakery, at 4.7 from 1,401 reviews. It keeps the strangest hours in this guide: 7am to 8pm Monday through Thursday, 7am to 3pm Friday, closed all day Saturday, and 8am to 8pm Sunday. That makes it one of the few options here open into the evening, four nights a week. Signature drinks include lattes, a dark roast, mocha mint and vanilla hazelnut alongside the mate.
6. The Collins Quarter
The busiest room on this list by a wide margin: 4.7 from 4,984 reviews on Bull Street, which makes the score about as well-tested as a Savannah rating gets. It is a full brunch and dinner restaurant first, with a pastry case and rotating pastry specials rather than a bread program. Brunch service runs 8am to 3pm daily; dinner is 4pm to 9pm Wednesday and Sunday and later Thursday through Saturday. There is a sister location at Forsyth Park. Expect a wait at peak weekend brunch.
7. Savannah Coffee Roasters
A roastery and cafe on West Liberty Street with a bakery counter attached, at 4.5 from 2,702 reviews. Cakes are the draw over pastries here, with an orange olive oil cake among the items customers photograph most. Breakfast is served alongside the Liberty Street sandwich at lunch. Hours are 7am to 5pm Monday through Saturday and 7am to 4pm Sunday, which makes it the most reliable afternoon option on the list. Online orders over $100 ship free.
8. The Coffee Fox Roasting Co.
The latest-closing entry: 7am to 8pm Monday through Saturday and 8am to 6pm Sunday, on West Broughton. Pastries sit alongside espresso drinks, pour-overs, cheese plates, wine and beer, so it is a coffee bar with baked goods rather than a bakery, which is why it lands last. The rating is 4.5 from 2,163 reviews, well established. Their evening deal from 5pm to 8pm covers $3 hot or iced lattes and $3 beer, useful when everything else in this guide has shut for the day.
What we left off
Bitty & Beau's Coffee on West Congress rates 4.8 from 792 reviews, but it is a multi-location national coffee company rather than an independent Savannah bakery, so it falls outside this guide's rules. The Sentient Bean on East Park Avenue is a long-running local cafe with a full breakfast, lunch and dinner menu and Sunday brunch, but nothing in our research points to a baking program, so it did not fit the premise.
