35 Best Bakeries near Branford

“We ordered two cakes from Sweets on Main to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. Not only was the owner so nice, pick up was a breeze and the cakes were delicious. No pic of the GF chocolate cake but there was not a piece leftover. The strawberry mascarpone was light and refreshing - perfect for our one year old who we don’t want having a lot of sugar. Will definitely be using Sweets on Main again!“

“I haven’t been to Cheri’s since the original location closed, but I wanted a pastry, but didn’t feel like going into New Haven and the new location is very close to me. I was very pleasantly impressed!! We got a Lobster Tail, Pasticciotti, and sfogliatella……each one was better than the other. Delicious. Obviously re-opened for good reason!!“

“I ordered a few trays of cookies for a party I was hosting. I called, a little flustered because I was feeling very last minute. I explained how many people I was hosting and that I didn’t know what or how many to order. They were unbelievably patient with me and told me they would take care of it. And did they ever!!!! Freshly baked, beautifully presented, and SO DELICIOUS! I was thrilled. Guests impressed. Delightful variety. I will be back and I highly recommend you check them out!!!“

“My husband surprised me with a Princess cake. I mentioned I’d love to try one after seeing it in a baking show. He searched online and Marjolaine’s was the only place he could find. He drove over an hour to pick it up and it was well worth the drive! We just picked up a Dacquoise. This one was a request from our daughter. We tried a smaller version that was in the case. It was absolutely delicious! So light and airy and the flavor was divine! We are driving this cake all the way to NC and are 100% certain that our daughter will be thrilled ! We are heading back in the beginning of April for a Marjolaine for our daughter in law. It is well worth the trip!!!“

“My husband and I used J Cakes for our wedding cake and we are so happy with our decision! Our tasting appointment was seamless and so much fun, it was hard to chose between all of the delicious options! We went with the golden cake and cream cheese filling and it was amazing, our guests absolutely loved it! Thank you Carly & all of J Cakes for our delicious, and beautiful, wedding cake!“

“I love their large variety of cakes, each one is so beautiful and delicious you want to buy them all!! The cookies are awesome. Pumpkin Cheesecake was decadent! 👍🏻“

“The care, detail, perfection, quality is all unmatched. As someone in the business of food service, Whang is an inspiration. Someone to look up to and be thankful for his creativity, passion and love for what he does. I have been a customer for years and I’m always amazed at the versatility of this shop. One day hen and heifer started serving frappes - it was the best frappe I’ve ever had. A shop like this raises the bar, it forces everyone around them in the business to be better, to do more. I grew up in this town and we are lucky to have a place like this. I would single out items on the menu but honestly there is no point-every single item is an experience and exceptional.“

“We had our wedding tasting here. So delicious!!“

“We were in the area and looked for a bakery. I am so glad we found this hidden treasure. The owner is a rare gem. I said it was the first time and he treated us to a special bread and delicious buns with butter. Opens Fridays and Saturdays and has soup as well. I will definitely return here.“

“Milani's did cookie boxes for my daughter's communion. Such beautiful presentations.“

“So I went over a friends house for dinner and he had a Lupi's Bread on the table, Looked great. Tasted better. He told me about this little bakery in New Haven at 169 Washington Ave Lupi's Marchigiano Bakery. I went the next day for another Bread where I met Larry Lupi a true gentleman. His grandfather started the Bakery in 1900 when he came over from Italy, and now is being run by Larry and his brother Peter. So If you want to taste a little piece of heaven, stop by Lupi's and for a few bucks you can.
Thanks Larry and Pete,
Vinny“

“Cute little coffeeshop with very good coffee“

“I enjoy the authentic Guatemalan coffee, the bread, they go great with my coffee. Enjoy Authentic Guatemalan tamales, reminds me of when my grandmother made them, the chuchitos, they are like mini corn tamales and great with coffee too. Definitely recommend if you are looking for authentic Guatemalan food. They also sell beautiful souvenirs.“

“I moved 4 years ago, but I know it’s still THE BEST! I started coming her at 16 every Friday to get bread. I’m 51. Meet the family and find out how good they are! You won’t be disappointed.

“These are the best Biscotti I ever had. I found them near the coffee section at Bishops Farm Maket. They are soft and not dried out. They are as good as my grandmother's..if not better. If I take a small bite I end up eating the entire Biscotti. A+“

“Incredible coffee and pastries!“

“The baked goodies are excellent!“

“I got a cake from here 2 years and it was exactly what I wanted (the heart cake). My husband loved the taste and kept mentioning it when it got closer to his birthday this year so I, of course, had to get another one. It was AMAZING! Everyone loved it and a few said it was the best cake they’d ever had. Yellow cake with cheesecake filling and buttercream- highly recommend. Steve was also great with communicating and working through my indecisiveness about the design.“

“OTR DRIVERS With 53 ft trlrs

The drive here is down congested narrow roads with limited space for your turns. Stay alert a lot of low 12 ft bridges surrounding the customer. Follow trucker GPS but don’t rely on it. When you see the customer, You can make a right at the light or go up to the next street and make a right and another right and follow that path around to the yard, whichever’s is easier. Once on the yard, a lot of space to dock. Easy check in. Quick loading. Extremely professional staff.

Leaving the facility you will encounter the same congested narrow streets on your way out. Follow the path the customer gate tells you. You should make a left shortly after going around the curve. To get back to the interstate, make a right at the stop sign and follow that street down maybe 1/2 mile than make another left at the light. Follow that street all the way down and when you see the grocery store on the right, make a left at the light. You will see a sign that tells you which way to get back to the interstate. The last turn to get to the interstate can be tricky. You will come into a light that has strange look 4 way stop and signs that point to the interstate (can be misleading) but Dont go into the neighbourhood that the GPS will try and advise you to go down. Make a wide left turn on the street and you will see the entrance to the interstate maybe 1/4 of mile on the right hand side.

Tandems all the way forward or you will not be able to make your turns.

The community is super understanding and will get out of your way to help you make your turns, just be patient.“

“Ricotta is a great pizza shop 🍕 but they also have many other food items like fresh salads 🥗 and even sushi 🍣. Literally just down the block from Yale 🎓. Coming here Motzaei Shabbat is a great experience ✡️, and there is lots of comfortable seating 🪑. The food is delicious 😋 and the service is friendly and efficient 👍. Overall it’s a solid spot for a relaxed kosher meal in New Haven.“

“I highly recommend Jennifer's Ice Cream! Not only do they have a large selection of tasty ice creams, but they also have dairy-free Italian Ice for me! Look no further if you're after a yummy treat with a reasonable price tag!“

“It was very good !!! Going again tomorrow“

“We stopped in for some stuffed breads and tried some italian pastry.They where all excellant and be back for sure.“
