pastry shops

Sweet baked goods stores

Pastry shops are retail establishments specializing in pastries, cakes, and other baked sweets.

They typically offer items made on-site or sourced from dedicated bakeries, distinguishing them from general bakeries that focus on bread.

The term overlaps with pâtisserie, which suggests French-style confections and a more refined atmosphere: The neighborhood pastry shop makes the best croissants.
