17 Best Bakeries near Amherst

“I ordered a cake for my co-worker’s retirement celebration. We had a limited budget & everyone was so happy with the cake. A half-sheet pan carrot cake, with luscious cream cheese frosting, beautifully decorated! It was enough for 20 people with leftovers. Highly recommend!“

“Anything if you like it or have a sweet tooth or massive sugar rush“

“This place/workers are so fabulous!! Best coffee at umass hands down“

“Definitely one of the best iced mochas i’ve had, the coffee is so different. It’s definitely on the pricier end and for the same order of iced mocha with a dash of vanilla, I’ve paid varying amounts and that’s something that puts me off and the last time was probably the worst, I was charged $6.5 the first time I had it in the summer and $7.25 then on for many orders then on until yesterday when I was charged $9.50 for the same order! That’s kinda outrageous and I’m sure it’s always a different cashier that causes this. I need to start storing the receipt or stop coming to Share because at the cost of $9.50 for just an iced mocha, i’d rather start choosing starbucks and get a nice and large special. Share - you really gotta look into being on the same page among all your cashiers.“

“Ordered food for an event of about 40 people Will was great to work with for ordering Excellent food Dessert platter is phenomenal Many many compliments on quality of food Highly recommend!!!“

“Hands down, Carefree Cakery make the best cupcakes I’ve ever tasted! We have also ordered a couple of birthday cakes for our kiddos, and they too are spectacular. Not too heavy on frosting, and the cake is light and delicious. Our friends always comment on how delicious the cupcakes/cakes are. This week, we ordered a Wicked theme cake for our daughter’s 10th birthday party and it was so beautiful, I thought my kiddo was going to cry with joy when we picked it up!! We love you guys and we love your cakes ❤️🎂🧁❤️“

“I had the best breakfast sandwich today! The baked goods are phenomenal too.“

“Thank you for the GORGEOUS cake!! Greggory kindly didn’t laugh at me for coming in half an hour before closing last night looking for a birthday treat. I was planning to just pick up some cupcakes or whatever he had left, but he was kind enough to make me a custom cake instead! It’s lemon cake with raspberry filling, and a gorgeous buttercream frosting. Sooooo delicious! And he went out of his way to make it beautiful, and still had it for next day. I’m so delighted with it. 😀 Highly recommend his shop for all your pastry needs! Also, definitely try the Russian tea cakes!“

“I give five stars one of best restaurants that has awesome donuts and the only one that got the street dogs that got cheese, hot dog and the out side of it you can get few things on them“

“Great service and amazing baked goods. We had the apricot danish and the pecan sticky bun and they were so good we returned for some tarts to take home - lavender lime and Boston cream tarts. My daughter got the cold brew with coconut syrup and really enjoyed it.“

“I had the "tank" sandwich today at the Ciesluk’s Market 55c North Main Street So. Deerfield. I was pretty great :)“

“Vanilla latte. Or vanilla black tea“

“The GF waffles were out of this world... soft and fluffy. I'm very sensitive to gluten cross- contamination, and it was reassuring to me that the staff person was knowledgeable and asked me if I had a gluten allergy and needed separate preparation for my order. They also are taking COVID precautions seriously. They are requiring proof of vaccination in order to dine in (this is clearly posted inside and outside of restaurant), and while at my table I overheard a staff person asking an unmasked person to put on a mask. Could not have had a more enjoyable experience... sad I don't live in the area!“

“This is one of the best spots in NorthHampton, Massachusetts, definitely has the freshest ingredients and I’ve been all over Northampton restaurants. Mediterranean salad is worth every penny they put a lot of ingredients in it. Everything is fresh and crisp and it’s actually very big salad. Their sandwiches are spot on, desserts are delicious snd beautiful, The one thing I like about this place is I get service with a smile sometimes that’s missing in restaurants today and Cafe but not here. You can tell that everybody likes working there. They look very happy I didn’t go in July 2025 I go as much as I can.!!“

“second time there, and there will be a third, fourth, fifth cetera cetera...☕“
