Kim's Bake Shop - Hillsborough

Artisan bakery and coffee/tea house with lovely employees and a lovely vibe. Pastry’s are a level up from many triangle bakers; They are made with quality ingredients and the pastry skills are there. Kim’s can by no means compete with the Owl bakerys, Hole Donuts or Bolted Breads of North Carolina. Flavors are punchy and interesting but not quite in balance. I’m glad Kim’s isn’t afraid of a little bit of sourness, tartness or bitterness in their baked goods. But the harmony of Ingredients isn’t perfect. With a little tweeting Kim’s could get there. Tea cakes are extremely moist. Danishes are flaky. And finally someone in this area is serving a cardamom bun! I’m seeing a lot of potential. With a few more years of practice and experimentation Kim’s may start producing baked goods that people go out their way for. In the meantime, if you’re in the area stop in for a delicious treat and great cup of coffee.

A lovely gem of a shop in Hillsborough!From their outrageously delicious donuts, to the relaxed and welcoming music selection, this shop welcomes you with open arms! I highly suggest the Ham Jam Tart, it was savory and sweet and just the perfect thing to start the day. If you want quality baked goods that taste amazing, go to Kims!

Was hiking with friends at the Hillsborough River Walk on Saturday morning and decided we needed coffee and a nibble afterwards. We're big Wooden Nickel fans so we decided to give Kim's Bake Shop a try. Loved it! Great location (next to WN) and, since the weather was perfect that morning... the outside seating was a great option (plus we had our dog with us). The inside seating looked warm and inviting and might be the perfect place next time we hike in colder weather (or if it is raining).French Press local coffee was pretty good (although a bit on the weak side). The multi berry scone was quite tasty, but a bit too crumbly for a scone. The other two folks got the quiche w/ bacon and said it was really, really good.We will be back.

Everything is delicious!!! The cider donuts and French press coffee are the best I've ever had!

The pastries are so good And have great locally roasted coffee
