Dewey’s Bakery

Omg! This place is heaven made out of sugar. The cupcakes are awesome. And of course you can’t forget the cheese straws

They made me a beach themed cake for my birthday! It was so dope and the inside was pink lemonade. Just ridiculously good! My husband bought it so I’m not sure of the price but it is worth every penny. The cake was moist and the design was superb. I mean it was just so nice that I did not even want to eat it.

This is a wonderful place. I’ve been coming here for my entire life. My grandparents brought me here as a kid and I’ve been coming ever since. I try to come in for free cake square Monday, but I always buy something too.
I’m writing this while sitting in the store. The cake square and Chess Tart were both excellent, but there are some issues here. There’s a long line and only one associate working. This makes no sense to me. Even if her coworker had to leave suddenly, there should be someone else to call in.
The music is too loud. I don’t mind background music at all. This, however, is basically the focal point because of the volume.
I’ll be back, but I hope they get the staffing issue figured out. I would hate to see this location suffer for poor service.

I had excellent service and the food is super delicious! I got a napoleon, cream horn, carrot cake cupcake, and peanut butter and jelly macaroon. All for under 9 $!! The napoleon was delish with custard inside, flaky pastry, chocolate and pecans on top. First time I tried it. Could have used a little more custard on the edges but they put a good anount on there.
The cream horn had too much powered sugar on it for my taste but it was easy to remove. The cream was super delicious but there was alot of pastry bread in comparison to the amount of cream but it’s still the best I have ever had!
The macaroon was baked well and pretty good. I will get a different flavor next time. They made it really well though.
The carrot cupcake was most but has raisins and no pecans. It was good but the raisins turned me off a little.
I am going back tomorrow!
Yummy

I don’t understand why locals like this place so much? I’ve had much better bakery items than this. The cinnamon rolls were dry and crumbly. I want yeasty and gooey! When asked when the cinnamon rolls were made, I was told they weren’t even made in-​house. That they were made at another location and shipped over here. The cake squares again, were dry and not the greatest. As another reviewer mentions, I’d rather get some sheet cake from Lowes Foods and nom nom nom on that stuff. I do like the ice cream. And they used to make these lemon squares with a crunchy shortbread topping, but no more. Sad face.

The sweets are delicious. However, if you are looking for exceptional service, or even decent service, this is not the place for you!

So I am not a native of Winston-​Salem but I do understand why this maybe so popular amongst locals. You just have to support your local businesses, I get it. However I have had better cake at grocery stores. Cake squares look awesome but dry and My first visit I had a carrot cupcake which i have made better from box cake mix. The store is also to packed with trinkets and just leaves something to be desired for your neighborhood bakery.

This deweys location has a good variety of sweets including ice cream, cupcakes, cheesecake, and macaroons. Macaroons are $ 2 each and well worth it ^_​_​^ I got the chocolate, mango, and pink lemonade.

Dewey’s is a good place to grab one of their well-​known cake squares or some ice cream. It is also a good place to come have a cup of coffee with a friend or get some work done and study.
I had never been to the old location of Dewey’s and I’m told this one just opened recently. It is in the shopping center at the corner of Fairlawn and Reynolda (the one with Jimmy John’s, Planet Fitness, etc.). It is located beside Lowes Food.
Dewey’s has a really nice atmosphere and serves as a great spot to study. They have about 5 tables inside and for the warmer days there is outside seating as well. I didn’t have to fight for a table because it seems that many patrons choose to take their goodies to go.
To sample the sweets that Dewey’s has to offer, I ordered the Pumpkin Spice Cake Square and the Salted Caramel Cupcake. The cake square was delicious. It was extremely moist and was not overly rich or sweet. The icing was very good, but again was not slathered on too heavily. The cupcake was average. Dewey’s is known for its Cake Squares for a reason.
Along with their sweet treats, ice cream, and coffee, Dewey’s sells little knick knacks. These items include tea towels, coffee cups, picture frames, and decorations for a bathroom or kitchen. Many of them are themed around North Carolina colleges and the state itself. There are definitely some good options for gifts.
The people working here are very friendly and helpful. They are happy to let you sample different flavors and always serve up the treats with a smile. They also didn’t seem to be bothered at all that I posted up for over an hour to study. That is always appreciated.
Dewey’s is definitely worth checking out for those of you with a sweet tooth. It is also a great change of venue for those trying to study and can’t stand to see the inside of a library for one more second.
