Milton and Esther Fried opened the first Freed’s in 1959. Today, the third generation of the family owns and operates the business, with traditional bakeries around the valley, a location at Allegiant Stadium and T-Mobile Arena, and a shop on the way at The Bend development in the southwest.
Freed’s is known for its dessert cakes, many of them extravagantly decorated, as well as cake slices and pastries, macarons, rugelach, cupcakes, pies and more. There are gluten-free and no-added-sugar options, too. Visit freedsbakery.com.
