How we made this list
We looked at 5 bakeries in Bloomington IL with a Google rating of 4.0 or higher and at least 20 reviews, then ranked by weighted Google rating across the city, 300 reviews minimum. A rating from thousands of reviews counts for more than the same rating from a handful, so a new place with a few perfect scores does not jump the queue. Ratings and hours are from public Google listings on 05 October 2026 and can change. Nobody paid to be on this list.
Tips before you go
- Epiphany Farms Restaurant takes reservations, useful on weekend evenings.
- For an early start, Coffee Hound Roasters and Cafes opens at 6 am.
