45 Best Bakeries near Beverly

““Pure Pastry” was highly recommended by “Cakes for Occasions” because they couldn’t make a Vegan cake. So I called and asked Kim to make my son who is a Vegan an all Vegan birthday cake. We were all pleasantly surprised at how delicious and moist his chocolate cake was with vanilla cream frosting with strawberries in the middle and on top was. Five people ate this cake and we all loved the taste. It looked beautiful too. Another thing I also love about this bakery is the cake box. The cake fit in the box very nicely and on the top you could see the cake through a see through film which was an elegant touch. My son’s cake was so good that I had to order a Vegan strawberry vanilla cake for my birthday too. I can’t wait to get it. Kim is so very friendly and such a nice person and she is very easy to get a hold of on the phone. I very highly recommend Kim and “Pure Pastry” for all of your pastry needs.“

“Overall great pastry, exception was sausage roll. Very large roll with one pinkie finger sized piece of sausage tucked in the middle. Def not worth $5“

“Not only was the cake we had them design for my sons 7th birthday perfectly detailed and visibly amazing, it was the best flavored cake I've ever had. More than happy with this shops work and we will return for other events and to satisfy my sweet tooth....highly recommend this shop!“

“We are from NY and came for breakfast…the best breakfast sandwiches. The pita bread was the best I’ve ever had! My son had a bacon, egg & cheese on a brioche bun. He said it was excellent! Owner was friendly and visible. Highly recommend!“

“Fast and Efficient Service. Tastey Fresh Menu. Will definitely be back again and again.“

“first this is everytime we go to Salem this is the first place we go. Great staff and great cookies“

“Over the past 4 months or so I have called with various questions, mostly having to do with your chicken pies. Every time I have called the person who answered my call was able to answer my questions quickly and politely. I appreciate the efficient service as that seems to be a rarity these days. Thank you so much.“

“I am a huge fan of key lime pie and have sampled it at pretty much every opportunity. Each time, I find something that isn’t an A+. The crust is too grainy or crumbly, the bakery has added meringue (which I like on lemon but not lime), or—and this is the most common offender—there is entirely too much lime in the recipe. But the key lime pie I had at Caramel was exceptional in every possible way, especially in its balance of lime flavor. I didn’t try anything else there, so I can’t vouch for the macarons or other goodies, but if you love key lime pie, RUN to this bakery!“

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

“Best bake shop in Massachusetts..“

“Do not miss this spot if you are visiting Salem. We had treats from our Air B&B which caused us to go in person. Everything was lovely, delicious and fresh. Customer service was fantastic. We had croissants, a bagel sandwich, fresh bread, the most amazing cookies and, my favorite, the spinach and leek puff with everything seasoning. The coffee was great too. Thanks so much!“

“Love this place. The coffee is delicious and I love the different muffins offered. I just recently tried the western egg sandwiches on an everything bagel. We also came in to try the pizzas. Delicious!! Will be back for more!!“

“My daughter’s wedding cake was absolutely delicious. From the communication to the finished product, it was a great experience and they certainly have earned our family’s business. Sometimes you attend a wedding and they are trying to send cake home with everyone, there was nothing left to send. The guests loved it and most importantly, so did the bride and groom. Couldn’t thank them more! Wonderful job!!“

“Bridal Shower for my niece who is Gluten and dairy free. absolutely Amazing! No one could tell the difference, best cake I have ever had“

“Pain au chocolat and pain aux raisins are decent but not amazing. Hot chocolate is just alright - again, not the most amazing I’ve ever tried. Tastes like Swissmiss, imho.
Their brioche is what’s worth the travel - it’s absolutely fantastic.“

“I'll be back!! I love this little place. Excellent service and excellent food. Very nice people 😀.

Update: I still love this place The food is fantastic The people are super nice If you haven't tried it please do so You will not be disappointed.“

“Perfect little gift or treat no one returns..♥️“

“Today I stop by this place for my first time and I’m already loving it. The 🍞 is out of this world!!!“

“My daughter & I stopped here on a recommendation and so happy we did ! Fantastic service and great food …. Best avocado toast we’ve ever had and the soft pretzel was sooo good ! We also liked the selection of unique gifts they sold too 😊“

“We have been getting my twins’ cakes from Blue Ribbon for TWENTY ONE YEARS! They’ve been positively perfect every time. I’m about to order them again for next week! Thank you Chris!“

“My mom and son love the fresh lobster rolls! Luisa, thank you so much for taking such great care of them! Please support this local business and treat yourself to a perfect New England lunch!“

“Omg I’m blown away at the m&m cookie I just tried. This M&M cookie is perfection — soft, buttery, packed with chocolate, and baked just right with crisp edges and a gooey center. Pure nostalgia, executed flawlessly. Honestly impossible to stop at one“

“We had a small get together at Bits and bites cafe.. The staff was so courteous and knowledgeable.. breakfast and sweet treats were top notch. Please consider Bits and Bites for your next cafe, you won’t be disappointed!“

“I received a WONDERFUL and DELICIOUS surprise!!! I live in San Antonio TX and my sweet aunt and uncle wanted to send us a sweet treat for Christmas. We received a dozen of your amazing Whoopie Pies. The were shipped and came in INCREDIBLE condition and cold!! We received a variety and what I love about them is the cake is SUPER moist with the cream being fluffy and having just the right amount of sweetness! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to send an amazing sweet treat ❤️❤️“

“The bread selection was very limited, with only two very similar types available. While the quality and taste of the food were good, the items were priced as high as those at the most expensive bakeries in Manhattan. It’s a nice establishment, but we won't be coming back“

“Visited from North Carolina in September and was completely blown away by how delicious the doughnuts here are. Best small business-made doughnuts I’ve ever had in my life, no exaggeration.“

“There is a variety of bread that is most similar to Salvadoran bread and it is good but I don't like that the customer serves themselves and there are customers who are not very clean and try to reach for the bread that is placed at the back and that way they drag themselves past. sleeve of his jacket the bread that is placed on the edge, that is, in front and I don't like that. In my opinion, it should be the store saleswoman who delivers the bread to customers so that it is cleaner this way.“

“I just L❤️VE this place! The 🥨dog & cheesesteak bites are amazing, as is the cinnamon pretzel with buttercream dip ( more like a frosting! ). You really owe it to yourself to try these treats... 10 ⭐️’s“

“great customer service and a lot of new items.a true hidden gem in peabody“

“We had a graduation party and this was the perfect ending . Delicious ice cream and cookies . Highly recommend“

“Great cookies, prompt shipment. We love the coconut butter cookies, previously called coco locos. All the cookies I've tried have been excellent. Note to the first reviewer below: If the cookie is called burnt sugar and fennel shortbread, you certainly should expect to find fennel in the cookie! If you don't want fennel, don't order cookies that have fennel in their names.“

“I've been eager to try this bakery since it took over! I'm so glad i did! We initially went in to get one thing each, and both of us left with a whole lot more than we intended to buy! The pastelitos were so amazingly fresh and delicious, and he made my Mango smoothie with a whole fresh mango! The flan was out of this world, and my friends Caramel Cake tasted like heaven! Even the french fries we got were fantastic! The gentleman who helped us (I'm guessing it was one of the owners) was so incredibly friendly, he definitely made two more local customers! We can't wait to try slices of his other cakes,as well as the other items listed on his menu! Great amount of food for the price as well! All around, a great guy, a great business!“

“Not too bad of a place to PU or deliver. No overnight parking on site. I got there early for my pickup and had to wait about an hr then got a dock and was out in less than a hr. The backing can be a little tight depending on which dock u get. But it's not too bad.“

“Probably the only place in the area that actually uses a fresh fried egg! I’ve tried every single other coffee shop in Salem and Crave remains my favorite by a longshot. They use actually quality ingredients (not a microwave) and compared to other coffee shops, are actually quite reasonable for the area. Service is always friendly too :)“

“The bagels here are excellent, and everything there is at a great price point for breakfast food. I enjoy them just as much as Abraham's in Newburyport. I only wish they would open a little sooner. I often get there at 7AM to find it not open yet. Hopefully if they get more business they will want to open earlier.“

“I’m sad I just started going to Manne’s because I wasted many years getting inferior cannolis. The plain one with the powdered sugar was a revelation, and they fill them right there in front on you. Then a week later to go back I got a cheesesteak. Are you kidding me, it was also the best cheesesteak I’ve ever had. I’m not being extra, they know what they are doing. And not pricy. I brought a few slices of their pizza and I reluctantly shared. Now I have several people who will be customers. I’m not exaggerating, Manne’s is that good.“

“I needed something special for a friend's birthday. Lisa helped me and she and Lulu's are outstanding!! The cupcakes were delicious, the presentation was beautiful and the customer service is as good as it gets!!“

“I gave them 5 stars because when they have the cookies, they are amazing! Service is always friendly and they are always busy doing something, and how can anyone be upset when you walk in and smell freshly baking cookies? The only downfall is that some cookies do sell out fast, so get there early if you have your eye on something popular.“

“stopped on our vacation to Boston while exploring in Salem! such a cute little shop!! our drinks were perfection!! I got a something seasonal coconut brulee? we also had a caramel latte both were delicious! amazing Boba selection too!!“

“Best coffee unde the sun 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞“

“Food has been unbelievable each time we eat here! The biscuits and gravy are one of the best I’ve had.“

“It's bittersweet because the food is great and almost everyone that works there is polite except for the girl that wears the headphones in the pink sweatshirt at the Middleton place. she always has an attitude. she always has a look on her face like I shouldn't be here and I'm better than everybody. never says please never says thank you never responds to you when you say thank you. I will no longer go to this place this has been multiple visits that the lady has been totally unfriendly and I think it makes everyone in the room at that time very uncomfortable. 12.20.24 7:23 AM.“

“Breaking Grounds is my favorite place to grab a coffee and sit for a bit. The food is delicious too! But, the best thing about B.G. is the friendly welcome and happy atmosphere.“

“A must try. The bakery products are outstanding. I will be a regular.“
