This beloved staple has been serving those beautiful bread and pastry smells since 1981! Located in the Five Points intersection, it's easily identified by the mural of wheat against a blue sky located above the bakery's patio space. The bakery is a go-to lunch spot and a popular vendor at the Durham Farmers' Market each Saturday.

They advertise outdated prices, even on their in-store menu… Ninth Street team: You can’t increase prices by more than 25% and not update your main sign stating the price!
The dessert pastries and breads are fine, but lots of items like the hand pies are a flavorless miss. Their hot cocoa is the powder kind from the grocery store… I wish they would step up the quality or else keep prices the same.

Love the place and their baked goods. Nothing like a freshly baked scone with a cup of coffee in the morning. The breads are delicious as well.

The best pastries, bread, and coffee in town at the best location with the best prices. Huge lunch sandwiches! Lots of shaded outdoor seating. Inside is noisy (it's a working bakery) but there's always music playing and it's a nice place to get work done.

Stopped by to try out some of the sweet treats. The associate was not the friendliest to my party. Outside the eating area was swarmed with small birds flying all around the tables. The items we ordered weren't fresh tasting. We were there at 9am and the croissant was hard and chewy. I purchased a blueberry muffin for my grandson, which he did not eat. It was also hard and dry.

Ninth Street Bakery does such a great job that many of the restaurants use them.

This bakery is truly a Durham delight. I had my first date with my partner here two years ago and we’ve been coming regularly with an amazing experience every time since. Their service is so good, the people are fun, talented bakers with warm and friendly vibes, and the atmosphere is so cozy. The food and pastries are always delicious and feel like a home cooked meal. Great for lunch or a small breakfast for sitting in or to go. Lovely bakery!
