50 Best Bakeries near New Canaan

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

“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!!“

“The opera cake is my favorite thing there after trying every cake, but the seven layer, tiramisu, and carrot cake are also so so good!!! The baguettes are incredible, the cookies are amazing, I have not had one thing from Patisserie Salzburg that hasn’t been spectacular😙😙“

“The renovations here look amazing! Same great food, as always. Highly recommend their lemonade and the cranberry orange scone is to die for! Also enjoy their chicken salad sandwich. Never miss a chance to grab something from Connecticut Muffin

“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.“

“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!“

“My family loves The Cake Box! My son has a peanut allergy and it is so nice that they don't use any peanut products at all! He can have any cupcake his heart desires and I don't have to worry about his allergy. The cupcakes are soft, fluffy and delicious.“

“The pastries I tried were all outstanding and the baguette is amazing. The staff were very friendly and kind- they threw in a few free items for me to try. They were nice to chat with especially as I’m from out of town and looking to move to the area. I was very impressed with Raphael’s.“

“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!“

“123sourdpugh is truly a gem in Pound Ridge! The bread is absolutely amazing — real sourdough with the perfect balance of taste and texture. You can tell right away that they use high-quality ingredients, and every bite reflects the care that goes into making it.

Beyond the bread, they also offer incredible matcha, delicious sandwiches, Asian-inspired bites, and other tasty products that make it hard to leave empty-handed.

On top of that, the people who work there are incredibly friendly and kind. For me, that says a lot about the place: when employees are proud of what they’re selling, you know the product is something special.

If you’re looking for authentic sourdough, unique treats, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere — this is the spot!“

“Black Forest cake is one of my absolute favorite cakes and finding a bakery that makes a classic well is not easy. I’m so Glad my husband found a bakery that not only is named black forest but also bakes the most delectable Black Forest cakes I have ever had. This is my 2nd year getting my cake and the drive and price are well worth it! I look forward to going back again next year.“

“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.“

“I was here for the 1st time this weekend...purchased a rye loaf, mischbrot loaf, almond/chocolate croissant and a lemon scone. Everything is fresh and delicious! So glad I found Kermit's, will definitely be going back.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Meant to post this earlier but a big thank you to Elizabeth for the most beautiful and delicious Sweet 16 cupcakes ever! They were a huge success and thank you for making Gigi’s birthday so memorable!!!!“

“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.“

“very good food great customer service“

“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.“

“I stopped by Caribbean Bakery & Mini Mart for dinner and went straight for their oxtail with rice & peas and veggies. The plate was huge, and you could smell the seasoning before it even hit the table. The oxtail was flavorful, tender, and coated in a rich sauce that really pulled the dish together. The rice was fluffy, the peas earthy, and everything had that authentic homemade Caribbean taste.

If I had one wish, it would be for the oxtail pieces to be a little meatier — because the flavor had me wanting more. Portion-wise though, they don’t skimp, and everything tasted fresh.

Service was straightforward, the spot has that local charm, and it’s definitely worth checking out if you’re craving real Caribbean flavor in the area. One heads-up: parking can be tough, especially earlier in the day, so plan ahead.

I’ll be back!“
