50 Best Bakeries in Boston

“The food on offer looked very tasty. I had the egg sandwich with salmon and their tatte house latte. The sandwich was very tasty but a little messy to eat. The latte was honey, halva and cardamom flavoured which was very pleasant and different. Overall I enjoyed my time there except when I was approached by a person asking for money and had to pack up and leave to avoid confrontation :(“

“Nice pastry’s and good location“

“Incredibly busy for breakfast. It was hard to find a seat. Pastries were really good. I had a breakfast croissant and it was good, but ordered the egg over easy and it wasn't runny, and the croissant was over toasted for me on the ends.“

“Went today with my girlfriend, we had the most amazing baklava and Turkish coffee/matcha latte. The owner is the friendliest man you can find in Boston. Delicious coffee and pastries aside, I would visit this place simply for the hospitality; it was an outstanding experience.“

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

“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!!“

“Delicious food!!
Variety of fresh Chinese sweets. I also got very delicious Portuguese cake. Very good location, clean and super organized, lovely prices. Personal portions and to share, you can even transport them. Ideal to take as souvenirs! They have delivery! Puff pastry almond cookies are my favorites! They have products with green tea.“

“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.“

“Omg that was amazing taste on everything.. Highly recommended to try the chives scone 👌👌“

“The staff here are amazing. They know my name and order. They even have the “Hank Special” which is my half hot chocolate and half coffee topped with whipped cream. Love you guys.“

“Wanted a quick breakfast on the go and this place hit the spot! The walk-up stall was busy, but the line was moving quickly. The person taking orders was friendly and efficient, and you could see the team working hard to crank out orders. They had an array of sourdough bagels, schmears, and breakfast sandwiches. I got the B Flat on Jalapeño Cheddar (a weekend special flavor) with bacon and it was very good. The sauce they use was nice and complimented the cheese and bacon well. We also took some bagels and schmear to-go for snacking later.

My only complaint is the bagels weren't as chewy as I like, but the tang from the sourdough was really pleasant! Overall, if you are in the area you can't go wrong with a bagel or bagel sandwich from Bagel Guild!“

“Please do not EVER remove the meatball parm sandwich from your menu. it would also be nice to have a better variety of music.“

“Love coming to get the vegan selections“

“Please do not EVER remove the meatball parm sandwich from your menu. it would also be nice to have a better variety of music.“

“By far one of the best cakes I've had.

Fresh or canned fruit are delicious options they have. It's an angel food cake with a airy light frosting not too sweet. The fruit itself is the sweetness.

They are very kind and kept my order in the fridge until my Lyft came.“

“The food is always amazing whether it’s a scone or the roast beef sandwich. The staff is the best too.“

“I was not prepared for how good a popover sandwich would be. Even at closing time, the food was extremely fresh and delicious! I need to come back and try more things on the menu.“

“There is no seating, literally, not a single table or chair for customers in the whole building, not one. Don't even bother if you want to enjoy your pastry's there, you will have to stand and eat them. So walked a few doors down to Modern Pastry, they had great coffee drinks and basically the same pastries with seating and table service. About 40 people at Modern Pastry tonight, 2 people in Mike's, and they we kneeling on the ground eating their pastries. We saw them kneeling and we were like, nope.. I Like Mike's but with no seating in the building, this location is no longer worthy of my biz.“

“Natalie is an amazing baker and cook. Fun to watch and very easy to learn from. Her assistant, Colin, does an impressive job too! What a wonderful team. I look forward to them being not distant in the near future🥰“

“Best croissants! Fairly regular customer and have catered a few times. Always a hit.“

“Wonderful carrot cake and midnight chocolate cake purchased by our daughter for our birthday celebration.“

“Still as good as ever. Stopped by after a show in Boston and they had loads of delicious buns to pick from at amazing prices. After a decade and a half, they're still my favorite place in Chinatown to go.“

“👍 👍 👍 yes great bakery do go“

“We got the muffuletta sandwich and it was SPECTACULAR! It was a new sandwich for us…the bread was perfectly paired to the style of sandwich and fresh. The meats and cheese were delicious and the olive garnish and herbs enhanced this unique taste experience. We took the sandwich to go but the restaurant was clean and relaxed atmosphere. Friendly and fast service.“

“cute spot in boston chinatown, quick service, and yummy pastries. in our little tour of chinatown, we wanted to stop into multiple places and try as many little things as possible. we split a small green tea moon cake and an egg tart. so delectable and cheap. bring your cash!“

“the food is amazing! I drive 1.5 hrs just to get bags of traditional Colombian Empanadas and a bag full of amazing Pastries! you must swing by when you are going to the airport or shopping down the road at assembly Square. they are the best and the staff puts up with me when I attempt to speak Spanish with them.“

“Why so much plastic?
Even if you stay at "Sorelle" to eat and drink: plastic rulez!
I don't think that's "sustainable".

There ARE porcelain mugs...but you have to SPECIFICALLY request them.

The coffee itself? Fab!
The toasts and the sandwishes: too!!“

“I came to run a marathon, and because of the seven o'clock time difference, I was able to drink soy milk, eat fried dough sticks, and the pickled tea eggs were so delicious! The price is super cheap! I saw the men next to me eating the same thing, and after asking, I found out that the chicken wings were made by the lady boss herself. The lady boss was also very enthusiastic and insisted on giving me one. I was so embarrassed that I hurried away haha?“

“Definitely tasty, the bakery here is excellent and has some dishes that other bakeries in the area do not. Typical Taiwanese bakeries, the sugar is a little lower so it tastes better and they have a pretty good bubble tea too. They do take credit card over $10. The taro buns and the moon pastries are excellent. They have a mochi pork floss bun that is excellent as well.“

“Best freshly made macaroons you'll find in Boston! Period. I'm addicted“

“This spot has some solid, delicious, unique, and well-curated sandwiches. The taj mahal sandwich has some of the best egg salad fillings I've ever tasted and the turkey town pressed panini was perfectly toasted —yet soft, and very flavorful.

I'm not much of a coffee person but my partner is a coffee snob and thought that their brown sugar latte was delicious, which is not to be taken lightly from her. We'll definitely come back when we're in the area to try more slapping sandwiches (and coffee for her).“

“Love it!! Ⓜ️🤍💙 🤍💙“

“TEBRİKLER... GÜZEL İNSANLAR“

“Just like a regular ice cream shop, but happens to be vegan! The ice cream is just as sweet as Van Leeuwen, I’d say (so pretty sweet). I saw a review saying it tasted like there were bits of ice chips in the ice cream, but I didn’t get that at all… you can sample as many flavors as you like, too! They also sell vegan toppings to-go like hot fudge which was really cool! And they have a vegan ice cream cookbook for sale, and sell ice cream makers so, if you’re traveling to Boston like me, you still have potential to enjoy it at home too (with a bit more effort and commitment lol, and their cookbook is available on Amazon so if I ever get an ice cream maker, I’ll look into the cookbook haha).“

“Pretty good coffee spot! Enjoyed their homemade vanilla flavor in the iced coffee, but the coffee was fine, nothing spectacular. The mixed berry scone was an amazing flavor, a little over baked so very hard outside but truly still a great treat. Will definitely come back for more baked goods!“

“Decided to pick up dessert from here based on a local recommendation. I had the pineapple coconut creme cake and my husband had the salted caramel cream square. Both were delicious. Had to eat at two sittings as the servings were pretty large. So many choices looked amazing, so I'll have to visit again when I'm in town because there were so many things I wanted to try!“

“I have been going to JP Licks for years. I was telling the young lady who was serving us. That I use to come to JP Lick when I was in high school. And JP Licks was the only place that made me smile when I was happy, sad , mad or even upset. And their ice cream would cheer me up😃 Thank you JP Licks for always making me smile and also now my kids😃😃😃“

“This is Tatte #4 for me on my quest to visit them all and try a kuign Amann at each. Parking was a little rough and this one doesn’t have the abundance of floor to ceiling windows that some of the others do but I loved the industrial vibe and all of the windows into the giant kitchen where you could see all of the pastry being made. A nice display, though not as good as the one at assembly Square, but lots of space and different kinds of seating.“

“Stopped by here for breakfast with my toddler. High chairs are available upon request. The breakfast plate I ordered for myself was good. They would not sell a la carte sides. The drip coffee was great. Tried the tumeric latte - good taste, but the whole thing was foam so I ended up only having a few sips. Nice ambiance. Good for a quick bite.“

“With the other "M" bakeries taking all the hype, this small bakery slips under the radar despite selling a whole lot of yummy stuff, including calzones and cannoli.

ETA: Came back another time and caught a kid sticking his finger in the cannoli cream in the back. Ew.“

“So this is my third Tatte and I can say not all Tattes are created equally! My favorite so far is assembly where the bakery display is fantastic and the seating options indoors very nice -though they do not have the great people-watching outdoor seating that this one has. I asked for coffee “for here “ which I expected would have come in a mug, but came in a to go cup, which was a little disappointing. Kouign Amann pastry was ok“

“I came here a week ago and am still thinking about how good the iced latte was. A small space, but very modern and welcoming. It was my first time having their coffee, and my iced mocha latte was amazing. I immediately regretted not getting a larger size. They have some beans & instant coffee & other items for sale, too.“

“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“

“This tiny place packs a powerful punch with some really delicious cookies. We ordered a dozen mixed between the all year staples and the seasonal flavors and we immediately ran back in the store to get another dozen. Special shout outs to the black and gold, chocolate chip, molasses, and sugar/Funfetti cookies. If you like a warm gooey cookie and they’re not just out of the oven, all these need is 10 seconds in the microwave. Fresh and fabulous we will definitely be back!!“

“I have been getting cakes and recommended them to people for years!! they have gotten so sloppy 😩 I'm very annoyed it was just my birthday and they spelled my name on my cake wrong and wasn't the cake we ordered...I think they are cocky now and I will no longer give them business 😒 😑 😤 they are awful no thumbs up👎👎👎I believe they all about money and racist🎯over charge for nasty cakes good designs buy nasty cakes🤬“

“Server was really hurried and the place was crowded but it didn’t matter bc the food was 10/10. Don’t think I’ve been this full in so long. The food took about 3 minutes to arrive it was so quick, and it was SO GOOD. We got 烤鸭 or Peking duck, and 油条 and 葱油饼. Would HIGHLY highly recommend Peking duck- super flavorful and the egg soup. Missing China so much and this was the BEST remedy. If you care about hygiene a lot, maybe try a more modern place. But my meal was 47 dollars and I’m so full I can’t breathe.“

“I have a recommend the cake very moist, very sweet and very presentable“

“Everything here is SO GOOD. The chocolate bread is super moist with big chunks of chocolate but not overly sweet. The olive bread is also to die for. The staff are also very kind. It is a little bit pricey ($7 or $8 for most loaves) but it is worth it because the bread is amazing quality and delicious.“

“In my opinion, these are the absolute best Haitian patties in Boston. Don’t kill me people… lol ? but I’m just saying I’ve tried many and I always come back to this place. The flavor, flakiness and even the amount of filling is on point.

Also, the service is fast and friendly, and they have a great variety of patties that don’t run out. You can stop by at 4pm and still get the patty you were looking for.

I drive an hour to get these patties and I’m never disappointed!“
