If you’re planning a trip to Anna Maria Island, or you just live on the Suncoast and love good baked goods, there’s a spot in Cortez you need to know about. Breezy Bakery, at 11904 Cortez Road West, Unit A, is a family-owned shop serving scratch-made pastries, cookies, pies, and custom cakes. The owner learned to bake as a child and refined her skills working in high-end hotels across the country, and that experience shows up in every bite. The daily case rotates based on the season and what’s available, so there’s always something new to try.
Custom cakes are a big part of the business. Whether you need a birthday cake, a wedding cake, or something for any other celebration, Breezy Bakery takes personal orders. They also accommodate dietary restrictions, with gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options available on request. That makes it an easy stop if you’re hosting a party and need to please a crowd with different needs.
Here’s a tip for budget-conscious sweet tooths: Breezy Bakery holds a Sunday case sale where remaining items are 50% off. It’s a great way to grab a treat for a beach picnic or just stock up for the week without spending a lot. If you’re looking for a local alternative to chain bakeries, this is the kind of small business worth supporting. Have you been to Breezy Bakery? What did you order?
