Sweet Dough Bake Shop

 

Located at 2758 NC 68 North in High Point, Sweet Dough Bake Shop offers baked goods and coffee drinks daily. Outdoor seating and special orders are available, and dairy products are sourced from Homeland Creamery.

 

Lose one bakery, gain another. The same weekend that Amoroso’s shuttered its Palladium location, Sweet Dough opened its doors a short hop down 68 next to Small Batch. Early impressions are favorable. Sweet Dough’s storefront is bright and clean with plenty of seating. The bakery cases proudly display a variety of goodies from cupcakes and cakes to cinnamon rolls to pies to puddings. Though sold by the slice, whole cakes and pies are available, too. The drinks menu boasts hot and cold coffees as well as milkshakes and floats.

 

For my first visit, I picked up banana pudding and a slice of key lime pie to share as well as a white chocolate mocha frappe. Pie prices run a bit high here ($5.50 for a not-huge slice), but there was otherwise no room for complaint. The staff were welcoming, and they will customize coffee drinks to your liking.

 

Both of the desserts went over well. If “banana pudding” calls to mind a bright yellow, artificially flavored paste, prepared to be amazed by how much better an authentic version can be. Here, it’s lighter and laden with real banana. The key lime pie was likewise legit, bringing just the right amount of tartness.

 

Though its location’s previous tenants didn’t have much staying power, Sweet Dough’s tantalizing selection of caringly crafted baked goods is reason to hope for greater longevity.
