Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Lake Jocassee

"Swamp Rabbit Café and Grocery is fast becoming one of Greenville’s must-visit venues, and for good reason. Located right off the Swamp Rabbit Trail, the café is a perfect spot to stop after a bike ride for a snack or sandwich. Baked goods are made daily but often sell out, so go early for the freshest pastries and desserts."

"It’s a popular local spot, but because of its delicious selections of soups, sandwiches, salads and most recently pizza, all made with fresh, local ingredients, Swamp Rabbit Cafe deserves a spot in the realm of healthy eating out. We just won’t mention those fantastic scones, cookies, or cinnamon rolls."

"This West End café has a reputation as a spot for ladies who lunch, but it's a great destination for anyone who likes good food in a relaxing setting. Lunch offerings include a chicken salad sandwich, crab cake sandwich and a baked brie plate, as well as a variety of other sandwiches and salads. Fruit plates are popular and the menu variety will please any appetite."

"You can also choose from coconut cake, pineapple cake, chocolate cake (or gooey German chocolate cake), carrot cake, paddy cake, or strawberry cake to satisfy your sweet tooth craving."

"In August 2017, the collective Greenville sweet tooth became acquainted with a touch of class in the form of Le Petit Croissant. Located downtown in the Historic West End, this popular bakery produces fine European-style breads, pastries, and chocolate. Owner Chef Vincent Caradonna, a chocolate and pastry master, grew up in France, near the Swiss border, where he perfected his craft."

"This quaint house in the heart of the Augusta Road area may not look like much, but it serves up some of Greenville’s favorite sweet and savory items. The bakery does custom items like cakes and cupcakes, but locals know that grabbing a quiche for breakfast the next day is a non-negotiable – the Quiche Lorraine specifically is to die for. Hours: Tuesday-Friday: 7 a.m.– 6 p.m., Saturday: 8 a.m.-4 p.m."

"The Bakery Off Augusta, located at 11 Sevier St., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the bakery, which offers coffee and tea and more, five stars out of 29 reviews."

"Offering cookies, cupcakes, custom cakes and more at 11 Sevier St., it's the highest rated bakery in Greenville, boasting five stars out of 29 reviews on Yelp."

"Family owned and operated since its opening, Strossner’s is one of Greenville’s best-known bakeries. The shop features cookies, candies, and baking supplies; the café menu is full of delicious soups, sandwiches, and daily specials; and the made-to-order cakes and cupcakes are perfect for any occasion you can think of. The extended hours and county-central location add to the convenience factor of the experience, and you’ll have a hard time finding something at Strossner’s that doesn’t suit your tastes."

"Strossner’s gets really busy during the holidays, so you need to get that order in early if you want Strossner’s on your holiday table. Pecan, Chocolate Pecan Bourbon, Chocolate Cream, or Coconut Cream Pie, and other cream pie selections – $16"

"Nevertheless, if you’re looking for a restaurant that has figured out how to change with the changing times, this is one place you won’t want to miss. Located on every corner in the Greenville, SC suburbs, Panera is the place to go when you want a quick and filling salad. I eat there almost every week, and though it is embarrassing to say this, I order the same thing almost every time."

"Visited after we were fully vaccinated and it was wonderful. Staff was exceedingly helpful and friendly. Cafe is really cute and fun."

"This may be the spot to “Make + Sip” (as their classes are called), but this is the place to create something unique, useful, and absolutely beautiful. Here at Make Made Jewelry you can learn how to saw, drill, file, and stamp designs while learning basic silversmithing techniques. Projects you can create include items such as earrings, bar necklaces, bangle bracelets, pendants, ornaments, and more!"

"What we ate: A classic cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato + mayo. Why we loved it: You can’t go wrong with a tasty cheeseburger, especially from a drive-in, and this one really hit the spot. Price: $6.40 (but if you don’t spring for the fries like we did, the burger is $3.95)"

"Sassafras Southern Bistro is a warm and welcoming eatery that serves Southern fare with nightly specials, a full-service bar, and charming outdoor seating.
