Haralampos Confectionery ★ 4.0
A confectionery and pastry shop on Tsimiski focused on traditional Macedonian sweets including rose and mastic loukoumi, sesame halvah, and sugar-preserved fruits. The packaging makes it one of the city's best edible souvenirs.
Floros ★ 3.9
Floros on Mitropoleos is a neighbourhood-baker format serving the pedestrian zone: koulouri, cheese pie, spinach pie, and standard Greek pastries from 06:30 until sellout. The pies are baked in a wood oven and the crust has the right brittleness.
Zacharoplasteio Agios Nikolaos ★ 3.8
The only proper zacharoplasteio (pastry shop) in Ano Poli, serving the Upper Town neighbourhood with traditional sweets, Greek coffee, and a handful of tables in the warren of cobbled streets near the Byzantine walls. Opens on local rather than tourist hours.

Bantis has produced Thessaloniki's most respected cream bougatsa from a marble counter near Dikastirion Square since 1969. Phyllo baked fresh every two hours, cold pastry cream, cinnamon shaker. Opens at 06:30. The benchmark for a city that takes bougatsa seriously.
Trigona Elenidis ★ 4.8
Elenidis in Panorama invented the trigona panoramatos, the crisp phyllo triangle filled with cold pastry cream that has become Thessaloniki's most iconic pastry. Three Thessaloniki locations; the Panorama original with hill views is the essential one.
