Daphne’s Bakery

We’ve used this bakery several times for special occasion cakes. Our guest are always pleased by the design and taste of the cake. We love how they’ve accommodated our decorating request. We will continue to use them for our cake needs.

Thought I would try this place again and its still the same — Look pretty on the outside but dry on the inside. Not the best but not the worse. But the real problem is the older lady that runs the register (she appears to be the «mother» of the store). She’s just not that friendly something about her is very off-​putting can’t put my finger on it??? But one things for sure I will definitely not be putting my finger on another one of there dry overpriced cupcakes.

May I say as a Southern girl, I am picky about pound cake. Daphne’s delighted the day with her perfect crusty topped vanilla pound cake. The cake was a hit! Reasonably priced and delicious. What more can you ask for?

Love love love the cupcakes, lemonade is my favorite ! They did a custom baby shower cake for my daughters baby shower.

It’s so easy to drop a pretty penny in here and not feel bad about it. I’ve never had anything I didn’t love. Daphne puts her heart into each pastry, cupcake or whatever it is she is making that day. I love coming here when I am in Mint Hill. Just go there. No really, just do it.

I have all of my cakes done here. I usually have an idea of what I’m going for and how I want my cakes to look and kind of leave it to them. They always turn out perfect. People are always asking me where I get my cakes done. Their cake balls and cookies are good too. I always pick up a few when I pick up my cakes. Great customer service as well ! I recommend them to anyone.

Been here about 4 times over last 2 weeks. Cupcakes are on point ! Seems like a very nice hidden gem outside of Charlotte. One of the best bakeries in the Charlotte area I think. Not too big of a place but it will satisfy your sweet tooth.

Delicious and creative cupcake flavors. Wonderful cookies and pies. The coconut cream pie is amazing! The custom fondant cakes are works of art. Yes, the cupcakes are a little expensive. This is a custom bakery, not a grocery store.

Disappointed …
Overpriced for tiny cupcakes… I was not impressed, I can make better cupcakes from a box. Will not return.

Love Daphne’s for baked goodies (amazing cakes!) but quite disappointed in their food. Today I tried baked potato soup after rave reviews by a co-​worker. Well, she threw hers in the trash and mine is sitting in the ‘fridge here at work, so that I can bring bacon bits, sour cream and cheese to add tomorrow – so that it will be real ‘baked potato soup’ — not just redskin potatoes boiled & simmered in a milky (not thickened) broth. I called the restaurant and voiced my opinion, which was heard and I received some sympathy, but nothing to back up the fact that the soup was less than it should have been (especially for the $$$). What happened to the good olé’ days when merchants stood behind their product and at least offered a replacement? I dunno, but I sure think that would have been a good idea. I will probably never do business here again. :(

What a delightful little snack shop. They have bakery products, sandwiches, salad and quiche, all in limited quantities and varieties, but reasonable enough to satisfy.
And there are the coffees and soups.
Was taken here for an afternoon snack and it was perfect. Little quaint, colorful building, glass display cases that show off cupcakes and other goodies that even won over my keeping-​the-​fat-​guy-​in-​check mentality. And what I ate were very good and the offerings were different than chocolate, vanilla and both.
Coffees made to order and the blend was rich, full and flavorful.
A ladies’ place, but a guy will not be emasculated upon entry, at least not so far. Outdoor seating and private parking. Cozy.
Weekly changing soups and quiches. Was tempted to buy more.
I live outside of this area, but when back will take my wife so she can enjoy, most likely even more than I.

Great little Southern Bakery. Last year they did a custom birthday cake for my boyfriend Peter. We loved it!
They now serve lunch as well.
Soups. Sandwiches. Salads.
But their bakery items are marvelous.
Bring them to my staff several times a year. My favorites… Lemon bars and cheesecake brownies. And try the Cheddar Biscuits.

Daphne’s chocolate chip cookies are the best I’ve had! Love the atmosphere here and the family feel. They also serve a great lunch, try the chicken salad or pimento cheese, both are top notch.

Favorite bakery in the Charlotte area! Not only are all of their sweets delicious, but they also serve lunch which is equally as delicious. Chicken salad made from scratch, chicken dumplings, quiche, salad, many options that are quick and the perfect serving for a lunch option.
I would recommend Daphne’s Bakery to anyone. Stop in for a quick sweet fix, to order a cake for your next event, or simply stop by for lunch you will not be disappointed! I regularly stop in on the way home to pick up a batch of cookies.

Not good. I’m sorry I wanted to like this place too but the baked items are just ok. I’ve eaten the cupcakes and though the icing is good the cake seems box made. I decided to go all out and order my sons birthday cake. What a mistake. The cake taste like they dumped a box of baking soda in it and it was not fresh made. It tasted as if it been in the refrigerator for weeks. Also, the atmosphere is not one that welcomes a diverse group of folks. The lady at the register was screaming her views about «non Americans». Don’t waste your money or your time. That was $ 53 down the drain. I’ll continue to drive way across town for my cakes.

I really want to like this place because well… its the closest bakery to us and we used to live in Chicago and have 10 bakeries within a 3 block radius. I’ve only bought a few things here but everything has been up to par mostly. The cupcakes have been hit or miss and are pretty small but only when you compare it to the humongous cupcakes that have suddenly become the norm in the last few years. My big question is how this place even stays in business with the hours it keeps. Anytime I think to go its always closed!!! They must make a good amount of cakes otherwise I don’t see it staying there too much longer. Hopefully I’m wrong!

Not a fan… after having eaten here twice, trying various food & bakery items I have been very «underwhelmed».
The food, chicken ‘n’ dumplings & chicken pot pie, was very bland – I don’t think there was so much as salt or pepper in either (much less anything else). The chicken ‘n’ dumplings were so watery I was tempted to ask for a straw. However, the pot pie had the opposite problem. The pie was extremely dry (no sauce or gravy filling) & for a «chicken» pot pie I was left wanting – chicken! There were maybe 3 small bits of chicken & an entire pie of (frozen, not fresh) veggies.
As for the baked goods – the verdict is pretty much the same – dry, dense, disappointing. I tried the keylime & chocolate pies on my 1^st visit & took a variety of cupcakes home with me as well. The pie crusts were dry & flavorless – I’ve had better pies come from the frozen section of tr grocery store :(The cupcakes were dry & had the consistency of cornbread – even my little one wouldn’t eat more than the sprinkles off hers after having a taste of the «cake».
Needless to say, I shall not be returning to see if a third time really is the charm.

Love this bakery! They made a four leaf clover 30^th birthday cake for me that was delicious and beautiful! Cupcakes, muffins, brownies… everything that I have tasted has been excellent!

I like Daphne’s, especially since they moved to the new location right next to the Mint Hill historic village /​farmers’ market. Everything I’ve had there was pretty tasty, but I lament that my very favorite thing there ever, the three citrus muffin, seems to be around but hard to find — I only saw them there once even though they say they regularly make them.
Beside muffins, the make pretty cupcakes, great cheese biscuits, pies and cakes. They also seem to sell their day-​old baked things for cheaper — might be a great opportunity!
They do have more space now than in their old location, but it doesn’t strike me as a place I want to hang out at. All the more fun it will be when the farmers’ market comes back in the spring — eating lovely baked goods while browsing the market or sitting in the swing in the historic village.

Great cupcakes. The icing is homemade and seems to be a buttermilk base which makes them all the more delicious. The truffles are «ok» but probably nothing I’d ever really go after again. I even tried one of their chocolate pies with a light cream cheese icing and it was pretty damn good as well. They sell «yesterdays» items for cheap (cupcakes for 1 $) and it usually is just as good as the daily made items. All of that being said, I’d recommend at least stopping in there if you are in the area and trying out a cupcake. The red velvet ones are delicious.
