50 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!“

“This bakery is incredible! We ordered their cannoli cake for our office and their Italian rainbow cookies - everyone was asking me where I got them and saying how amazing they were. The cake was light and melted in your mouth. The rainbow cookies will carry you to seventh heaven.“

“A favorite spot for early morning coffee and. Friendly and efficient staff. Wonderful breads, pastries, muffins. Little quiches are just great. Have oatmeal and yogurt with fruit etc. Hot egg meals and sandwiches. Impressive espresso machine. Our little group meets regularly there. We try other places now and then but always return to the favorite.
Branford is very fortunate to have such a spot.“

“omg, I love your "pudding pies" I don't know how to spell the name you call them when I lived in Norwich we would always go for a ride to New Haven and get them !!! my brother still goes when he's in New Haven can't resist !!! Best Bakery“

“Sweet Seidner's is one of my best discoveries. I'd driven past this bakeshop every week, thinking they just sold pre-ordered items. One morning I decided to stop in, and I've been visiting them almost every week ever since. Cookies, brownies, hamantaschen, cakes, bars--all equally delicious and taste authentically homemade. They are kind people, happy to bake special requests and appreciative of their customers. 5++ stars!“

“We dined there before a show at The Glass House. The Lil Kim fries were so delicious. I wish I lived closer, but if I am ever back in the area, I hope to go back. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Three different employees came by to ask us how our meal was and to make sure we didn't need anything. My son had a burger that he really enjoyed. Overall, a great meal!“

“My family and I absolutely love this Crumbl location in North Haven! The staff is consistently friendly, helpful, and patient, which makes every visit a great experience. The cookies are always fresh and delicious. Highly recommend this spot!“

“Always beautifully decorated and delicious. We tried the cannoli cheesecake this year for my daughter’s birthday and it was awesome.“

“The absolute best bagels I've ever had! I couldn't wait to rip open the bag and try them. They smell amazing, they look amazing, and (surprise surprise) they taste amazing! The service was absolutely amazing. The person behind the counter was so kind and helpful, walking me though everything that they offer! If you're in the area, you MUST go!“

“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!!!“

“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! 👍🏻“

“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+“

“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“

“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.

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

“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.“

“The baked goodies are excellent!“

“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 first saw Moon Rocks Gourmet Cookies at a craft show at the High Plains Community Center. I tried a sampler of six (out of the eight available) flavors: • Traditional chocolate chip • Salted caramel • S'mores • Cannoli • Blueberry lemon • Orange creamsicle The other flavors were oatmeal raisin walnut and peanut butter chocolate chip. The six flavors I had were absolutely amazing. The cookies were light and flavorful, absolutely delicious. They make gift baskets too, so you can share the goodness. Highly recommended.“

“I love the how to shoppes they are so much fun!! Noone beats the taste and price. Always very fresh!! Cant wait to come back' which will probably be tomorrow! lol“

“Ricotta's catering service is wonderful! We are from out of state and were organizing a Shiva lunch for family living near New Haven. Given that we only had a day to plan, time was very tight and we didn't know where to turn. Luckily, Ricotta's was recommended. Sarah was great - she was flexible, willing to deliver, arranged the food beautifully, and everything was delicious. Guests, in particular, loved the sushi, the pita sandwiches and the pastries. When visiting, we can't wait to eat at the restaurant and to hopefully use the catering service for a happier event. We highly recommend them!“

“Getting to the location is a bit tricky because the bridges are very low and the GPS won't give you the correct route. Try to follow this same route for both entering and leaving. The streets are narrow, so you need to swing wide; check the photo to understand the route.“

“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!“

“Our absolute favorite place! Never had a bad meal. Service is excellent!!“

“Awesome empanadas and great food“

“Our first time here and we loved it! I had the home fries special with hot cherry peppers because EVERYTHING is better with Italian hot cheery peppers! Great atmosphere and the staff was cheerful and nice. The have espresso and everything you need for a caffeine fix.“

“Angie went above & beyond to make my mom’s 60th birthday special!! She was able to accommodate a rush job for me and delivered the cake right to my mom. The cake itself is so beautiful and my mom said it tastes amazing as well!! Highly recommend Angie and her cakes.“

“My friend & I wanted to try the fruit shaped desserts. I really enjoyed the hazelnut one as well as the lemon. The pineapple I thought did not really taste like pineapple at all. It was ok, just no pineapple. Tasted more like toasted coconut. The mango one was also very good. The tiramisu cake was devine but I actually didn't care too much for the tiramisu shaped cup dessert. The seating was so cute. We sat & shared two desserts between the two of us which actually made us purchase a few more of the desserts each! The service was a little slow, as all 3 of the staff went behind the counter doors. One time I called HELLO for them, the second time I found a bell to ring. Very nice people though. I would go back.“

“This was my very first time in this one particular and I was very much impressed with its cleanliness, elegance, and a majority of the presentation of their baked goods. 4 out of 5!!!! I’m terribly sorry that you lost a star but that matcha brownie tasted absolutely disgusting. Never again will I buy it!!! Sorry sweetheart but it’s lacking sugar. However I do love the sweet cream filled bread you sold me. Thank you very much for helping me figure out what I want for breakfast tomorrow. Lastly, the cream green tea cake was absolutely divine. All this from being served by an incredibly gorgeous and really cashier/manager who I had to tip handsomely. I’ll definitely stop by on payday to give their specialty caffeinated drinks a try.“

“I've been a regular at this g cafe for years and it is my absolute favorite place in the city for coffee and brunch! The staff there are all so amazing and friendly (esp. Ryan!!!), the coffee is EXTRAORDINARY, and you won't find better baked goods or fresh bread anywhere in NHV. Get there ASAP!“

“Great European-style bakery! I’ve been coming here regularly and have had the chance to try several of their viennoiseries, and everything has been soooo delicious. The coffee is very good as well.
The staff here are also very kind and welcoming. I’ve noticed that prices can be a little higher at some of their other locations, so I’m definitely sticking with this particular one…
Highly recommended!“

“The food was tasty and fairly priced. Lots of original recipes and overall lots of healthy options. I highly recommend getting takeout from here. You can dine in but most staff don’t speak English (Spanish only) which wasn’t my case. They had a soccer match playing on screen which was entertaining but a bit too loud“

“Huge shout-out to Katalina's Bakery for their incredible support of Yale SOM students! Offering an amazing combo deal of a fresh coffee and a delicious cupcake for just $4 makes it the ultimate spot to grab a study treat between classes. Truly unbeatable value and wonderful service!“

“Everyone talks about Sally's or Frank Pepe's apizza here and there but frankly the best pizza I've had in New Haven so far is from this spot. They do take forever to make your pizza on busy days, regardless it is well worth waiting for. I'm assuming the pizza would be less expensive if they didn't charge so much for toppings. The pizzas are huge, plan accordingly with a group of buddies instead of ordering a whole pie for yourself. Would say the same of the calzone, which a friend got“

“I called the location and the gentleman said they use uber and another sight.I tried to order with grub hub it was not there. I tried uber but prices were insane...only to gave the gentleman call me back..I got all my food and drinks. It's was all amazing. Nothing I got disappointed me. The quality and freshness was top notch
I now have a place to order when I'm craving jamaican food. Anyone can tell you I don't order out because I love quality and good flavor. This place did not disappoint, try and let me know if I'm wrong. Look at all I got just for myself.“
