In our opinion, the best bakery in Raleigh. From freshly baked bread loaves to a full pastry counter Blouted Bread has something for everyone. A few of our favorites, the ham and cheese croissant, everything croissant (with a cream cheese filling), morning bun, and pull apart bread. Picnic tables are available for outdoor dining, first come first serve. You'll find them around the corner to the right when exiting the bakery.
A short drive to the southwest side of downtown Raleigh that is worth every bite.
