1. Greggerson’s Cake Cottage
Website: https://www.greggersonscakecottage.com/
Address: 2050 Trawood Dr #9
Contact: (915) 591-5690
Hours: Mon – Fri 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM, Sat 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM, Sun 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Greggerson’s Cake Cottage really impressed us with just how many custom cakes and cupcakes they offered for all kinds of events.
Their detailed design galleries made it simple to get inspired and figure out exactly what you wanted. With their options, it’s easy to mix and match base flavors, frosting, and fillings to fit any party’s theme.
One customer we spoke to mentioned that ordering a big cake along with matching miniature desserts made their celebration feel extra special.
The only downside we heard about was that sometimes the final decorations looked a little different from the reference photos people provided.
And, because the pick-up counter gets crowded on weekends, you may need to wait longer than expected.

Beautifully made and delicious
The cake I ordered was beautifully made and delicious. My family has been buying cakes from here for years and they never disappoint. Also, the cupcakes are a great option for trying the many different flavors before deciding on the cake’s flavor.

2. Manjar Sweets
Website: https://manjarsweets.com/
Address: 7933 N Mesa St., Suite M
Contact: (915) 875-0059
Hours: Tue – Fri 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM, Sat 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Manjar Sweets is a cozy neighborhood spot perfect for anyone wanting something a bit more upscale.
Their gourmet cupcakes come in unique flavor combos, making each bite feel more like a special luxury than just a sugar rush. I also appreciate how their frosting is smooth and tastes just right, not too sweet or overpowering.
They make all their treats in small batches using only premium ingredients, which really helps their flavors stand out. However, since everything is made fresh each day, we noticed the display case could look pretty empty if you stopped by later in the afternoon.
Also, take note that their use of higher-quality ingredients means their cupcakes cost a bit more than the typical bakery treats around town.

Have been getting cupcakes here for years
Facts!!!!! Have been getting cupcakes here for years. I talk about this place all over the world. Their Strawberry Cupcake may be the best cupcake I’ve ever eaten and the best baked good I’ve ever had period. Prove me wrong. Get one and it will change your life. I love this place wish they had a location on the Eastside. Love getting a dozen Strawberry Cupcakes for different occasions. Check this place out!

Hours: Mon – Thu 7:00 AM – 9:00 PM, Fri 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM, Sat 9:00 AM – 7:00 PM, Sun 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Combining your morning coffee with a gourmet sweet treat is what makes Wake and Bake such a great weekend stop.
They keep things fresh and fun with seasonal cupcake flavors, like Matcha Strawberry and Chai Salted Caramel, that rotate regularly, so there’s always something new to try.
They also care a lot about the quality of their desserts, using organic and responsibly sourced ingredients, which really appeals to anyone who’s a mindful eater.
When we visited, we talked to the head barista, who explained how they match their Mexican-sourced espresso with the week’s cupcake flavors, making the experience feel extra thoughtful.
The cozy vibes are perfect for relaxing, too, although a few people mentioned the service can get slow when they’re short-staffed during busy mornings.

The mango passionfruit vanilla cupcake (infused with CBD) was so delicious, the frosting was awesome. I will definitely stop by again when I am in El Paso for a coffee and a pastry.

4. Nothing Bundt Cakes
Website: https://www.nothingbundtcakes.com/find-a-bakery/tx/elpaso/bakery-128.html
Address: 8889 Gateway Blvd W Building AU4, #200
Contact: (915) 2608206
Hours: Mon – Fri 8:30 AM – 7:00 PM, Sat 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM, Sun 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM
If you’re hosting a work event or a big family party, Nothing Bundt Cakes makes it super easy with their Bundtinis, which are mini bundt cakes about the size of a cupcake.
These cute, bite-sized treats are perfect for crowds since they’re easy to grab and eat without making a mess. We also noticed each mini cake stays moist and fresh, which is a real crowd-pleaser.
The best part is you can mix and match different flavors in one box, so everyone gets to try something they like!
Just keep in mind that the shop is so popular for event orders. Because of that, sometimes your pre-ordered boxes aren’t ready right at your pick-up time.
Additionally, a few customers mentioned that the service feels a bit rushed, especially during the holiday season.
Customer Reviews

5. Bowie Bakery
Website: http://www.bowiebakery.com/
Address: 901 S. Park
Contact: (915) 544-6025
Hours: Monday – Sunday 6:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Enjoying a classic, old-school baking style brings back a sense of nostalgia every time you visit a community favorite: Bowie Bakery.
This spot serves up traditional cupcakes alongside a huge selection of authentic Mexican pastries, fresh pan dulce, and custom cakes.
One customer told us how much they enjoy the bakery’s friendly, busy atmosphere, which always feels welcoming and lively.
Just note that with so many baked goods moving nonstop, freshness can be hit-or-miss depending on when you stop by.
Also, long lines are common during the early morning rush, so picking up a dozen sweets might take longer than you’d like.
Customer Reviews
Moist and very tasty
I honestly think heaven smells like Bowie Bakery smells! I ordered some cupcakes. The carrot cake cupcake was moist and very tasty. The red velvet cupcake was also a delight! I also picked up a few pieces of pan dulce. All was of great quality and outstanding flavor. I highly recommend you make a visit.

Everything was fresh and tasty
While in El Paso, check out this bakery! People are friendly and this place is very nostalgic to the old type of bakeries. Everything was fresh and tasty. We were passing through but next time we come we’ll be back to Bowie’s.
