50 Best Bakeries near Allston

“100% recommend! So good and a cute little place to eat at as well. Drinks are good and the donuts are unlike anything else I’ve ever had!!!“

“1st time. It was great. Good food!!!! Well packaged. Driver was so polite. I will order again from them ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Fast causal Turkish restaurant/cafe that is always super busy on weekends and for good reason. Everything on their menu is fantastic. Plenty of vegetarian options (spinach/cheese gozleme, falafel, seasonal veggie plates) and pastries. There is a a limited but solid set of options that are gluten-free+vegan as well. These include the crispy potatoes, muhamara, hummus, grape leaves, baba ganoujh, greens, brussel sprouts, halva. Their espresso drinks are also lovely! On weekdays a good spot for a coffee date or lunch with a good book.“

“The most delicious pastries ever. If you love pistachio the way I do you will have trouble choosing and it is ALL great. But I particularly love the savories. The Palestinian bread and the flatbread with the green topping (forget what it's called) is a family favorite. We adore these; the flatbreads are a great quick lunch. But so so delicious, fresh, we are so fortunate to have you here!“

“What a treat to find this little French bakery in Somerville! The cardamom bun this morning was crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside with just a bit of caramelisation at the bottom and really nice amount of cardamom - which can often be lacking in cardamom buns. The pain au chocolat was still warm and the chocolate was soft. The entire thing melted in my mouth. I also enjoyed the coffee! Not an every day place for those that need to be careful of their pastry/bread/butter intake, but a treat for sure!“

“We love the quiche at Colette's!“

“We ordered breakfast sandwiches as take-out before hitting the road to head home to NJ. What a wonderful surprise! We expected basic egg and cheese sandwiches. These were so much better! They were absolutely delicious, as was the hash brown. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Boston.“

“The zucchini bread was fire!! Very moist, not too sweet, and dense enough without being overpowering. We also loved the orange chignon--you could really taste the orange, and it was very flaky/light. The latte had a deep flavor and wasn't too bitter. The only thing I would not order again was the passion fruit matcha latte, which tasted almost like a sour milk; it wasn't sweet at all and also did not have a strong matcha flavor, and I had a hard time finishing it.“

“Very lovely folks who work here and nice space, but if you’re a coffee snob who came for the high ratings just be a bit careful what you order.

The flat white here is a latte and the beans are not good. I think this is somewhere to go more for Turkish coffee or American-style syruped coffee. And (probably) good pastries!“

“Every week when I take my dog on a long walk we pass Weesh so I can get my weekly fix of the Berry Pop Tart. Not only does it taste fresh and amazing, but the owner and staff there are beyond kind and friendly. This is a true gem in Roslindale Village“

“Wow. Just wow! This offering/experience is a gem amongst gems. The cheesecake is phenomenal and the story of the makers is also really sweet. I got to sample the durian during my pick up of the (special wrapped) LNY sesame flavor! They were both so heavenly—friggin creamy yet delicate at the same time. Like how. Really happy I got to share this impeccable treat with friends and look forward to ordering again for future special occasions.“

“The patties are wonderfully spiced & flakey. can't wait to try sweet the pastries!“

“The bundt cakes are Delish. Customer service goes above and beyond! Would recommend 5 stars !“

“I love this place so much. I live in PA, have a husband and children, and still contemplate leaving them for the day to drive to Bakey and pick up a boatload of baked good. It’s that good. Please please please consider coming to the Lehigh valley!!“

“I know it wasn’t your normal birthday cake but wanted to let you know we loved it 🥰. From ordering the cake, to pick up, this place is amazing. Thank you for working your magic on my special request of lemon & coconut. 🍋🥥“

“amazing pastries!! nice people and very good coffee. I will be back!“

“I stop by every so often for pastries and hot chocolate or tea. It's a lovely atmosphere with great workers. I decided to order a birthday cake for myself from them this year, and it was perfect. It reminded me of my childhood. Everyone loved it, and it tasted great even the next day! It was ready for me at the scheduled time and was easy to transport to my birthday dinner. It's so awesome to have a place that can cater to dietary concerns like mine and still taste amazing.“

“Tastes like home—maybe even better, if that's possible.“

“Breakfast sandwiches are a hobby of mine and this one is top-tier. They also have a window so you don’t have to go inside and it’s always very fast and so delicious fresh English muffins absolutely delicious English muffin pizzas ! 10 outta 10“

“Everything I’ve bought, from the spinach and feta triangles to zaatar spiced focaccia has been delicious and fresh, plus the owner is kind.“

“I really like this cake shop and have been here several times. The cakes are really nice—light, elegant, and not too sweet, with very delicate flavors. The bread is also great and all very reasonably priced.

The staff are friendly and polite, and I always leave with a good impression. If you’re nearby, it’s easy to stop by since there’s street parking along the road.

It’s a French pâtisserie, but I’d especially recommend it to Japanese customers as well—the flavors feel very familiar and approachable.“

“I wish Bova's Bakery are coming in Oroville, California“

“Will never go there just by reading reviews how they treat customers with disrespect, that behavior is not tolerate in Little Italy NYC Mulberry Street stop by Cafe Palermo if you in New York“

“Turned a get together into a happening. Everything was delicious. Chicken salad was yummy salad and desserts amazing. Prices were reasonable.“

“Cranberry Pecan Roll is out of this world.“

“Katie was the absolute BEST to work with for our wedding - we can't recommend her enough! She developed an assortment of mini cupcakes and macarons that perfectly matched our wedding colors, flavor preferences, and accommodated the groom's allergies. She was so organized and easy to work with and handled all of the day-of setup and breakdown flawlessly. Our desert table felt so personal and we got so many compliments from guests. We can't wait to have another excuse to work with Katie!“

“The cookies are delicious! Top Shelf Cookies came to our local farmers market and we gave them a try. The Black & Gold (Chocolate & Peanut Butter) rival that of Levain Bakery and the Ginger Chews have the perfect amount of spice. Looking forward to trying more of their flavors.“

“Fine pastries made by chef Sharif and his team… great espresso with a French vibe all the way down to the bistro chairs and marble top tables situated in a picturesque cobblestone alley overhung by ivy and beautiful trees. Portsmouth’s greatest hidden gem that everyone seems to know about.“

“Excellent service and the cookies are amazing. Convenient opening at 8am so I was able to pick up before work.“

“We contacted them for our Baby Shower cupcakes. They were beautifully decorated and exquisite! People at the party loved them. We definitely recommend this place. I can’t wait to order more options from here. Thank you Dessert Works for been part of our memories and for making a wonderful experience!! -Ida“

“Had a Rocky Road cookie, and it was amazing. The staff here is wonderful, and very friendly. I can’t wait to bring my friends here.“

“Everything you buy here will be absolutely fantastic.

I personally find the atmosphere a bit cold and bright and it could be cozier (although my wife wouldn't change it). Also, they quickly run out of stuff so you may not always get what you hoped for.“

“Italian Rum cake baked gluten free is one of my fav cakes from Daniels Bakery“

“One of my favorite spots to get a sandwich around town. Big portions, friendly service. The owners are super nice and remember their customers by name.“

“This is literally the best coffee in town. I’ve been going once a week for the past two years, and it never disappoints. They also have the best apple cider doughnut in the area, seriously, you have to try it.
Everything they make is delicious, and their bread is amazing too, especially the Japanese-style one. The quality, the flavor, and the consistency keep me coming back every single week. Highly recommend!“

“I had an amazing experience at this bakery! I bought the Dubai chewy cookies with cheese and monuts, and everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced.

What really stood out was the staff — they were incredibly kind and patient, explaining every single product in detail and helping me choose. You can really feel the passion and care behind both the service and the baked goods.

I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place!“

“Food was good. However, I didn’t blow me away. The pupusas I was looking forward to, but mine was not cooked all the way through so it wasn’t that pleasant. I’m sure it would’ve been delicious if it had been cooked properly. Definitely do not go to dine in. There are a few Chairs next to the window and that’s it. It’s pretty much a takeout place. I would try it again, but probably not anytime soon.“

“Absolutely loved this cafe. It's new and has a great clean ambience.
They do have a variety of specialty drinks - I will try this in my next visit, this visit I had an early grey tea which was served in a pot with loose leaf tea. Definitely an upgrade from the regular cafes with tea bags.
Their Colombian cheese bread was good, can't wait to try other things on their menu.
Highly recommend.“

“An absolute gem and best bakery I've been to in Cambridge/Boston serving fresh baked Japanese style breads! Everything is freshly made and baked in-house and the quality speaks for itself: incredible Japanese wheat and flavor. Their salt bread was so soft, flavorful, and buttery. Their curry pan, which was fresh out of the oven was warm, perfectly savory. The French toast was simply heavenly, with a custardy pillowy sweetness. Their coffee was also incredible. You can tell the staff care so much. We'll be back regularly.“

“The best zeppole you’ll find around. Great neighborhood bakery!“

“My favorite bagel with lox - perfect every time!“

“From the very beginning working with the people at Donna’s Cakes was an A+ experience. All the people I spoke with were nice and helpful. The birthday cake was beautifully decorated, delicious and ready as promised. Thank you!“

“The cookies are always fresh and tasty and made of the best ingredients. We live in Boxborough, MA and drive all the way there. Got lucky and my day off they were open. Thanks for making it always worth it.☺️😋The Alda Family“

“First time visiting Levain Bakery in Seaport Boston, and honestly. It felt like a miracle. It was 21:00 and I needed warm, soft cookies 🍪

The service from Cole H was outstanding: no pushing, no rushing, just genuinely friendly and welcoming. The warm, gooey cookies made me so happy.

I enjoyed it so much that I had to write a review as soon as I got back to my hotel.

Thank you, Levain. Thank you, Cole H.“

“This place has strong sentimental value for me. We got our wedding cake here and they don’t ( or didn’t at the time ) make wedding cakes. We were young and poor and they made us three cakes which we put on platters to make into a wedding cake. We had so much left over we were eating it until Thanksgiving (got married at the end of August). We had no money and were eating pancakes, kraft Mac and cheese, chicken loaf sandwiches, chicken pucks and ramen to survive. But our freezer was filled with the leftover cake and I just loved it.
Circle back 30 some odd years later and my wife and I are walking through Chinatown and we come across this place again (we had moved away from the area after we got married). We go inside, the cake is not on the menu, but we tell them what we want (peach cake) and they make it for us right there. We bring it home and eat it the whole cake in one sitting.
Now whenever we are in Chinatown, we stop here before we go home and they make the cake for us ( though we don’t eat the whole thing in one sitting anymore).❤️“

“I am so pleased that I can go right down the street from my house and am able to buy a really good apple pie, filled with lots of apples just the right amount of sugar, I almost ate the whole pie myself, another great pie which is my favorite is the Key Lime pie, Lemon squares and blueberry muffins are a must try them.

“I buy their wonderful breads and scones every Wednesday at the Wayland Farmers Market. I look forward to visiting their actual store this fall. The Dakota, cinnamon and white breads are the best.“

“Chocoweggli !!!! YOU HAVE TO TRY IT!.... Even better, try a BLT on a chocoweggli Truth be told, best BLT I ever had in my life! that a drink and a cookie fall for 10 bucks 🙏“

“The best buttercream frosting and most delicious cakes 😋 we get as many birthday cakes as we can from Sweet Spot! I call every year on my own birthday for a custom, big version of their “icicle”…and if you haven’t tried one, omg you need to! Friendly staff, yummy treats, beautifully decorated desserts…cannot be beat!!!“

“Best sandwiches and great service! The chicken in their greek salad was so good.“
