50 Best Bakeries near Highwood

“Everything here is incredibly delicious! I guarantee that anything you try you will love! ☺️ I have been getting my cakes from Gourmet Frog for over 15 years, and from my wedding day to just because I was having a bad day and needed a little treat, it's always a hit! I can't recommend froggies enough! (What I endearingly call them ?)“

“Cutest yummiest cookies… totally worth the visit“

“So glad I tried and continue to enjoy Maria’s Italian Bakery and Cafe! This authentic spot offers wonderful service and excellent quality menu items— highly recommend!“

“I love to come here on a day off and get my High lemonade and a pastry roll (cupcake, cookie, slice of cake). The people there are amazing, kind, super chill & best of all welcoming!:) Although the place is small, it’s still a great place to visit + their cute duck collection!“

“The bread is out of this world. My personal favorite is the seeded. The pastries are also very good. What a treasure.“

“we had our wedding cake made by this bakery. and it was amazing from the design to the taste.“

“Food is always fantastic. The avocado toast, the breakfast burritos, and the lunch paninis are bangers, not to mention the brownies (we always grab one to-go).

The owner and employees are all very sweet and the space is vibrant—in the summer the full windows open and it's just a really pleasant spot to grab breakfast or lunch. Would love to see more authentic, small places like this open up and thrive in the North Shore.“

“A marvelous small pastry and coffee shop with a great variety of organic sweet treats! Love it! 😍. Nuns speak french and a little bit of English. All cakes look amazing and those I tried are to die for. Amazing fresh baked French bread and specialty crafted wine selection (buy for home only). Calm classical music adds the final touch to make your morning or afternoon coffee a remembering experience. I only would like to see some loose leaf tees on the menu. I strongly recommend visiting this place.“

“My company, Epiq Solutions, ordered a custom cake to mimic one of our products. We are an engineering company, so this is no easy task. Central Continental nailed it with the look and the taste! Well done, and thank you!“

“We love these cookies! The chocolate chip is always a family favorite but we like the fun of the variety too. Curbside or delivery service are a huge plus!

Vegetarian options: Dessert!

Parking: Huge lot. Dedicated spots for curbside service.

Kid-friendliness: Nowhere to eat inside. But the flavors are always exciting for the kids. Especially the extras like shark gummies.“

“Very nice, very friendly store with a great selection of bundt cakes in various sizes. Go and enjoy, you deserve it...“

“Wonder French pastries and the best chicken and mushroom quiche“

“I wish I took pictures, but we ate everything so quickly… IT’S JUST SO GOOD! We had the Korean hotdogs, mochi donuts and boba coffee and milk tea. Every week they have different mochi donut flavors, try them all! For the Korean hotdogs, you choose your flavor, then if you want mozzarella/sausage, and a dipping sauce. Also, the actual location is cute and inviting with extra seating in the back. Highly recommend!“

“absolutely delicious!!!!!!!!“

“I have had cupcakes and other treats before, but this was my first time ordering some - a custom-made pumpkin pie without clove. My mom always made it without and I never could bring myself to like it with. Well, I took one bite and it tasted so much like my mom's pumpkin pie that I almost cried. She passed away last year and had actually not cooked for a couple years beforehand. This really hit me very unexpectedly! Thank you so much to Ashley and her wonderful team at Punky Cakes.“

“We appreciated that the tasting was quick, and that they were very thorough about what the reception venue would pay for, and what we had to cover. They were very knowledgeable about what cake options were best with the different fillings. There were lots of options to choose from, and our guests were very happy with the way the cake turned out. It tasted delicious! We highly recommend the Baking Institute if you are looking for a wedding cake venue.“

“I have never had their treats here due to sensitive teeth but my review will be on the customer service I receive. I deliver for Uber eats and every time I come into Molly’s to pick up a order I’m always greeted by the most nice kind hearted staff. You can tell they are the most genuine people. I always leave super happy because of how nice they are. All of the treats in this store look very tasty and I most definitely recommend this location any time I can.“

“Ordered a Tres Leche Cake fora Mexican party. Sandy who helped me was terrific, very helpful. Carlos also. Sandy asked if I wanted anything written on cake I said fiesta. When I went to pick it up, the 1/4 sheet looked like it had been decorated by professionals. It was just so very beautifully decorated I could not believe it . So much much more than just the word fiesta. Taste people could not get enough, everyone just loved it. Not too sweet perfect & The price was way under what it should have been. I am sorry I did it photo it. I also bought a cookie for my ride home, just yummy.“

“Everything is so delicious and healthy! I recommend the beet humus and crackers and the pb&j power balls!“

“This is the best bakery and the best sandwiches! My boys loved the cookies and the brownies and my older son gobbled up the sandwiches. I also got some beautiful items as gifts for friends and family. Thank you so much Misericordia Sweet Shoppe!

Kid-friendliness: The volunteers are so inviting and kind. They made my kids feel very welcome!“

“It smells delicious when you enter, the delicacy and the cups are my favorites, the service is very good, everyone is very friendly and they are very fast when there are people, as I already mentioned the movements are very fast and this means that when I'm in a hurry I don't Don't worry, I'll be late, excellent service.“

“Chicken and Waffles!!!! Now that there’s a loyalty program I’m going to bring more friends there.“

“The chocolate croissants and raisin loaf are my favorite. I always loved the service as well from the Korean family that runs it. Today, though, it looked like nobody from the family was there, and the clerks looked so unhappy being there. I don't need that much pleasing from a French bakery, though, so it is still a 5 star from me.“

“These aren’t just cookies! They are a MEAL😊 Kudos to Carol’s Cookies for creating masterpieces!“

“As a busy working, traveling mom, I was trying to plan my precious daughter’s sixth birthday party when I was out of town and was in a bind because I didn’t order a cake I envisioned in advance. The bakery called me back promptly as I was sitting at the airport in Boston, I sent over a picture of the unicorn cake I envisioned, and they had it ready along with 2 dozen cupcakes that day! Also ordered their butter cookies and the broffee and it was all a huge hit with our guests. Thanks again for coming to the rescue. My daughter and her friends absolutely fell in love with the magical unicorn cake.“

“Sugarie Bakerie has a vast selection of fantastic cookies with dense flavor. Like a Ben & Jerrys cookie.😋 And of course Hillary is a pleasure to be around.“

“Received a box of 6 for birthday and very much enjoyed them. Some were still warm and yummy. Cookies were delivered without a bag, just box. Box had a security sticker which was peeled open although all cookies looked good. That is why I took away one star.“

“The best Ube Pandesal, the bread is smooth, the filling is unique, well blended flavor. The Ensaimada is moist and soft. The ube on top is to die for! Hindi minadali ang pagkagawa...It’s made with love! 😍 Highly recommended!“

Parking: Inside a mall which had lots of parking.“

“Loved the vibe in here! We had a bingsoo, which is like a shave ice but shaved into little snow-like crystals and possibly milk added to the base of the ice. Toppings were really good, we got mango and red bean. There was mango ice cream on top too. They have a variety of fresh baked goods too, we got the red bean bun and it was delicious. Service was very friendly and informative, it’s a nice stop before Walmart shopping if you’re in the area.?“

“This place is so unique and immaculate. Bravo Bakery is really amazing! I really love their neat service. Their staff are friendly, accommodating, cooperative, professional and patient which is a good thing since I would always ask for their opinion. they would also talk to you properly and help you with your food choices and even regarding about the place. I would always order cinnamon bread, chocolate cake, churros and pair those all with a delicious hot Choco or coffee. Definitely recommending those! Their size portion is also neat, their price deal is just perfect and every pastry they have is just so mouthwatering. Would definitely like to go here again if ever I had my free time. Thank you for the great service and amazing experience! Keep up the great work guys! You all did really great job! Thank you! Well done!“
