Reviews - Throwback Bakery
Reviews summary
Tucked on trendy 4th Street in downtown Wilmington, this tiny family-run bakery churns out addictive, made-from-scratch treats — cheddar and bacon-cheddar biscuits, pillowlike cinnamon rolls, cinnamon pretzels, maple blondies and seasonal cheesecake — paired with West Coast/Longboard/Black Rifle coffee. With a bright, adorable atmosphere and hands-on owners, it’s a friendly grab-and-go or quick downtown stop. Limited seating and occasional sell-outs mean come early, but the warm service and consistently excellent pastries make it worth the trip.

Fantastic bakery!! I love their space. Its super cute. The cinnamon roll was amazing and the cinnamon pretzel was delicious!! The new owners are super cool!! They are serving Longboard Coffee ? and its fantastic! We were their 1st customers thismorning!!
Pretty good bakery for its small footprint. We visited late on a Saturday morning and they were sold out of some stuff, which is fine. The cheddar biscuit was very good! Cinnamon roll was fluffy and cinnamony, right amount of icing. Limited coffeeofferings, just enough to get a hot cup while eating. Not really enough space or seating comfortable enough to hang out andenjoy the place for long. Staff was very friendly. Will come back and check it out again.
This place is special! The cheddar biscuits are what dreams are made of. If you have a sweet tooth, the maple blondie will set you free. Saving the cinnamon rolls for when I have the appetite to eat five...they looked so good. The owner Ely was there andit's very obvious how much he cares about his shop. Do yourself a favor and come get some delicious treats! Thank you Ely! Ican't wait until my next visit.
I visited again on November 15, 2018, and it was just as fantastic as ever. This is our favorite little retreat to relax and enjoy the homemade ham and cheddar biscuits, along with the freshly made cinnamon rolls, all prepared right in the shop where you can watch the process. The lovely family who runs the bakery is a true pleasure to interact with. The bakery itself is amazing, situated on trendy 4th Street in downtown Wilmington. The owners shared that they donate a portion of their profits to veterans. The baked goods are absolutely delicious! I treated myself to a bacon cheddar biscuit and a cinnamon roll that was heavenly. Everything is made from scratch, and the owners are simply wonderful. I'm currently at the restaurant and look forward to many more visits in the future.
What an amazing bakery! I love the adorable atmosphere—it’s so delightful! The cinnamon roll was fantastic, and the cinnamon pretzel was wonderful! The new owners are fantastic as well! They’re offering Longboard Coffee, which is superb! We were their very first customers this morning!

We absolutely love this bakery! We make sure to visit whenever we're in Wilmington. Our favorites are the pretzels and biscuits—both are of excellent quality and absolutely delicious!
This bakery is quite impressive given its small size. We stopped by late on a Saturday morning and found that some items were sold out, which is understandable. The cheddar biscuit was excellent! The cinnamon roll was light and fluffy, with the perfect amount of cinnamon and icing. Their coffee selection is limited, but it’s sufficient for grabbing a hot cup to enjoy with your meal. There's not much seating, and it’s not really comfortable enough for a prolonged visit, but the staff was very friendly. I’ll definitely come back to try more.

This fabulous bakery is located on trendy 4th Street in downtown Wilmington. The owners mentioned that they donate a portion of their earnings to veterans, which is commendable. The baked goods are delicious and mouthwatering. I had both the bacon cheddar biscuit and a cinnamon roll that just melted in my mouth! Everything is made from scratch, and the owners are delightful. I'm currently at the restaurant and plan to return many times!
Tastes so good we had to go back again the next day! We had cheddar biscuits, cinnamon bun, and blueberry biscuits (don 't judge . Whole blueberries are baked inside the biscuits for an added flavor explosion!
