A North Carolina pastry shop is a beloved destination — and it’s earned fresh recognition. Boulted Bread in Raleigh now ranks as the No. 1 bakery in the state.
FULL STORY: This popular bakery ‘lives up to its reputation’ — and now it ranks No. 1 in NC
Here are key takeaways:
- Boulted Bread topped the list from Tasting Table, which named the best bakery in each state. The food website in its May 22 report said the Raleigh shop “more than lives up to its reputation.”
- Tasting Table said its picks were based on several factors, including press coverage, food awards and “verified customer reviews” left on Yelp and Tripadvisor.
- Boulted Bread mills its own flour for menu items. The bakery at 328 Dupont Circle — near the Boylan Bridge — serves bread, morning buns, cookies and more.
- The Triangle shop has racked up past honors, previously topping Yelp’s list of fan-favorite pastry shops in North Carolina and appearing on a Food & Wine magazine list of top bakeries.
- The New York Times once featured the popular bakery in the 36 Hours travel series, giving a nod to its “shatteringly flaky croissant filled with nutty Gruyère and Benton’s hickory-smoked country ham.”
