Whether you're in the mood for fresh-baked bread, a warm slice of pie, or the perfect chocolate chip cookie, a great bakery is always a hometown favorite.
So we turned to city-guide app Foursquare to help us find the best bakery in every state.
Because the app allows users to save and favorite venues they love, Foursquare was able to track down which bakeries locals are raving about across the country and compile a list of America's Most Scrumptious Bakeries.
From traditional French pastries in Pennsylvania to creative donuts in New Mexico, here's where to find the best baked goods in every state you visit.

ALABAMA: The Continental Bakery may be located in Birmingham, but the bakery is dedicated to making authentic bread and pastries that taste just like the ones you would find on the streets of France. Their bakers rely on traditional European methods of baking — some of their bread is even hand-shaped and baked on a stone hearth.
