50 Best Bakeries near Darien

“Raphael's Bakery is the absolute best! I was in town from NorCal and I stopped by to meet a friend in Greenwich. I had some time to kill so I started asking Charlotte about why my homemade sourdough bread wasn't successful. She called Raphael over who, while he didn't share his secret receipe, he helped me understand the reasons why my bread wasn't full of air and getting any "oven lift." They were both so gracious with their time and experience......I hope they will consider offering cooking classes at some point. Absolute class act people!“

“Obsessed with the sourdough!“

“When they do it right a lot of their baked goods can be pretty good but sadly they are often over baked and dry. They have struggled to keep consistent staff and several of the new staff don't seem to listen to your order. Sandy is amazing, friendly and courteous. I will often let other people go ahead just to ensure she is the one helping me.“

“The Positive energy in this place like no other I have felt in love to work at Browne & co the Frist day I was Called to cover work on of the chef and I was lucky be part of the team the place is beautiful everything is made fresh daily 💪💪💪❤️🙏“

“Delicious bagels, coffee, sandwiches and play area for kids.“

“WOW!!! These cookies are AMAZING!! Delicious, fresh, and huge!!! If you haven't tried these cookies , you are missing out on greatness!!!“

“We stopped by BreadsNBakes in Pound Ridge for some pastries and a simple question — did they sell King Arthur or another high-quality flour for a sourdough starter? Kate not only took the time to chat with us, but actually disappeared into the back for several minutes and returned with a container of starter for us to take home. She treated it like no big deal, but to us it was such a kind and thoughtful gesture — the sort of small-town generosity you don’t often find in larger cities. Kate went above and beyond, and we left not only with a starter, but with a big smile and a genuine appreciation for her warmth.“

“Best tres leche cake in the area!“

“Angela Topi took the time from her busy day and treated us to the most wonderful variety of delicious store baked delicacies including the scrumptious chocolate covered cream puff❤️ May I also add my husband (who cant tolerate gluten) has no issues with Wave Hills miche? Incredible! We recommend Wave Hill Breads for all of your baked good needs ❤️“

“Ordered a Birthday Cake for my granddaughter and it was delicious. I will be trying more things from here.“

“I’ve been getting their American einkorn bread for years now! The quality and fermentation process really shows. It’s really my absolute favorite sourdough. I can’t recommend it enough! I love making a quick pick up here. So glad they’re getting the love they deserve!“

“Love the OatMeal cups for breakfast or quick snack - so good! Ilana is super responsive & helpful - USPS lost my first order & she was was quick to help and replace!“

“I placed an order on UberEats and was so impressed. The croissants were delicious, absolutely flakey buttery and perfect, the danishes were equally as phenomenal and they added an amazing fresh French baguette as a welcome gift! That was a really nice surprise and I can’t wait to try everything!“

“I'm so thrilled about this gem! Everything Fatto a Mano makes is from heart! I can feel the passion in all the bakery here. The sourdough, Focaccia, biscotti, Riccia (we call it lobster tail), bread stick, etc. cannot get enough. I wanted to mention biscotti especially, as it was not my thing in the past. But now it's my favorite! Must try if you are in Westport CT area!“

“OMG!!!..BEYOND DELICIOUS!!!!...SO MOIST SO FLAVORFUL!!..WISH I COULD GIVE IT MORE STARS!!!!..HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!“

“Quick appreciation post to Cobs Bread on High Ridge Road. My 2 year old son went in earlier and took a VERY long time to pick out what he wanted. The young lady helping us was so patient and kind with him. Once he picked out his treat, she told us that it was on her. So amazing. The young lady was wearing a Stamford High Mask. Hoping this reaches her parent or boss, what a wonderful young lady and amazing customer service! ❤️“

“Mom and Pop bagel place. Awesome tasting bagels for a very reasonable price. Place gets very busy. We stopped by around 930am and had to wait about 20 minutes for our food. But, It was worth it. Fresh bagels were being made as we waited. It was cool to see the baking process.“

“The pastries are just delicious Not only do they taste fabulous they look fabulous I highly recommend this bakery if you want a treat“

“My husband and I stopped into the Painted Cookie recently and we LOVED it! The owner is so sweet and friendly-made us feel welcomed as soon as we entered. She also let us sample some treats which was beyond kind. We're so happy to have found this cookie shop with options for my dairy free husband too!“

“Springdale bakery is on to something! Their bread is ridiculously good. I placed an order and it was on my doorstep the next morning, freshly baked. It reminds me of the crazy good bread you get for breakfast in Europe. We have so far eaten it toasted with butter and honey and with split pea soup.I’ve got all kinds of crazy ideas for this bread…including toasting it and crumbling it on top of Mac and cheese.Already placed my next order. This will become a staple.“

Had a great conversation with Carlos and the team and found out that they started making all their bagels in house. Did not disappoint. So delicious. Thanks Carlos and I’ll be back again soon!“

“First time taster and it won’t be the last. I had sesame seeds flying, and the lemon and fried caper cream cheese is ahhhh-mazing!!!!“

“They are ABSOLUTELY THE BEST, I had been looking all around town asking if they could please do a Minecraft design as a square cupcake, everyone said no can't do it. I called Manny's Bakery I didn't even know they were there, I always thought is was a convenience store, spoke to Manny himself, he said email me the picture let's see what we can do. After reviewing the picture he was like we can't make the cupcake look square it's usually round, so I asked what if you can make it a square cake and then cut it into 30 individual pieces and then decorate them and he said YES we can do that, mind you I had mentioned the same thing to all the other bakeries I had spoken to. I brought by the original Minecraft toy so they could get the colors correctly and everything turned out GREAT they made my son totally happy and the talk of his school. I ABSOLUTELY recommend them they went above and beyond to make this a special birthday“

“I’ve been coming here since I was a teenager, and I love that the food has stayed consistently good. I’m very picky about my bacon egg, and cheese, and even though I moved quite a while away from Liz Sue, I still visit every time I’m in town.“

“From breakfast to lunch, all fresh made on premises daily with great staff and fast service“

“My fiance and I love going here for their big cookies and Peruvian desserts.“

“Food delicious.
However, there’s no menu which is a little confusing. You just walk in and there’s a counter and you just asked what they have and they make you a plate. The oxtail was straight deliciousness. Tender, flavorful. The plate served was a large portion.“

“you have to go there and order the fire 🔥 ball wrap... it's amazing 👏 😍 🙌“

“great cakes, great food, great service, their bread quality is the best I have tasted in very long time, thank you Leo.“

“I loved the SWAMP flavor and my kid loved the MUD flavor. Was recommended to us by a sweet couple ahead in line waiting with us.“

“Super fast service and the cake is the best one I've ever got.“

“Ordered a sweet 'n salty cake made more special with a third layer. It was beautifully done with specific details requested and I could not have been happier with it. The cake itself was exceptionally delicious -- rave reviews from our guests.“

“The black forest cake was delicious. Well worth the visit for my wife's favorite cake in her birthday. I ordered about a day in advance. There was a slight wait when I picked up in the morning. It was the perfect excuse to treat myself to coffee and pastries.“

“very good food great customer service“

“The best breads and delicious cakes/sweets! We recently had a big birthday party with an amazing birthday cake. Everyone raved about the cake!“

“I’ve found it. The best way to blow through a paycheck over a single breakfast. Espresso and a pastry for $15…. But, somehow, I think I’ll be coming back. Love the communal atmosphere with great big heavy wooden tables and chairs. A number of 4 and 6 tops as well. Bright and airy open feel make this a lovely warm atmosphere to share a delicious espresso and pastry. Espresso was quite tasty but unfortunately served in a tiny paper cup - I guess I should have specified I was eating in. Nice nuttiness and a subtle bitterness and right up my alley. There were so many amazing looking pastries on display i really struggled to decide how to put back on all of the calories I just lost on my Peloton but eventually landed on the Chocolate Chip Cookie Croissant. And - holy smokes - it did not disappoint. The thing must weigh 8 ounces due to it being stuffed with chocolate chip cookie dough and a plethora of incredibly delicious molten chocolate. Incredibly naughty and delicious. Great spot to stop in for a pastry but they also have a larger menu with salads and breakfast specialties in addition to their lovely baked goods. Unreal!!“

“We were looking for Lao Cocina and ended up here by mistake. We didn’t know we were in the wrong place and we almost left because we didn’t see the platano sandwiches we were looking for. They stopped us and although it wasn’t on the menu they still made them for us. We also had chicharron, black rice, and fresh squeezed juices. The food was delicious! The service was incredible! And omg I’m just realizing those sandwiches are not even on their regular menu. Must go back!“
