50 Best Bakeries in Boston

“So happy to stumble upon this place, the name drew me in, the bright airy space with the welcoming staff made me want to stay. Excellence at every level and some of the most delicious and visually pleasing homemade baked goods around. Total nachat-fest for me. Happy to give them my shekels! Next time I’m going to try the food. Hazak u Baruj! Love at first bite 😉“

“Cosmopolitan setting, designed to be in and out fairly quickly w limited seating. Busy, high energy. Very well trained staff.

Amazing food. So fresh and prepared in interesting ways. Lamb hash was a real treat and the oats w berries was the freshest we've ever had.

If we lived locally, this would be a regular stop.“

“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!!“

“Corner Cafe & Bakery is an Asian bakery located in the heart of Chinatown.

The staff are friendly, though there is little interaction with them as it is a pick your own, as most Asian bakeries are. there is a $10 minimum to use a credit card, but getting a decent amount of pastries will hit this easily.

The pastries are pretty average to other Asian bakeries in the area. The Pineapple bun is good, and they offer multiple options like roll cakes, hot dog bao, and more.“

“It's 28 September 2025 at 0830. The place was super clean, comfortable, and we were treated by an amazing staff. This woman crushed it. I have not been this impressed by service in a long time. I would recommend this shop to anyone simply based off the quality of service provided by the employee.by the way the food and drinks were excellent“

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

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

“Love coming to get the vegan selections“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“Hearth & Hug is a MUST anytime I’m in the city. The entire team is small but mighty and incredibly helpful and nice! Every pastry and bread is simply heavenly. 100/10 must go!!!! The freshness in every item is next to none and you can tell each item is made with the love like no other.“

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

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

“Everyday, the front to the back of the house are the Best. 5 am this am, 2 coffee cake muffins hot off the press . If you don’t go , you’re missing out. Definitely one of the top businesses in Boston.“

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

“Really good breakfast sandwich and great vibes.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon to get some work done. The whole area feels like a mini Seaport, but with way fewer crowds. There’s a small lawn out front, plenty of outdoor seating, and an easygoing, relaxed vibe. Pretty much everything you’d want from a neighborhood café.

I tried two of their fall specials: blackberry vanilla matcha and the apple cider + espresso. Both were fine, but the coffee and the breakfast sandwich were great. The sandwich came with a thick, jiggly egg soufflé patty that made it surprisingly satisfying even without any meat or extra toppings. Definitely one of the better breakfast sandwiches I’ve had from a coffee shop.

Would come back for more sandwiches and coffee once the weather warms up again.“

“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!“

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

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

“There’s a line for a reason. Other good bakery places around the North End, but Mikes Pastry is the best. Lines move quick and it’s a nice end of the day when in this end of Boston. We always bring some home and it’s always a big hit.“

“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.“

“👍 👍 👍 yes great bakery do go“

“Great food selection and reasonable prices. The first pic on google is a different bakery from the others. They’re right next to each other, but the first pic (it’s the left one in the building) was cash only the last time I visited. The sesame balls are so good, definitely come here if you’re looking for something sweet. I think it’s run by one person! The food is definitely the real deal.“

“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.“

“buenas atenciones y buen sabor“

“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.“

“I was running around I got in and they do have water for everybody !! I tried the Coffee cake and I took the brownies to go, really nice. Friendly staff and nice people to interact with, I’ll come back during my morning runs. Thanks, guys!“

“THANK YOU, Jennifer Lee, for allowing my daughter to try her first ever cannoli from the North End!! She loved it!!“

“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.“

“Visited this awesome cafe during my stay in Dorchester. The cozy atmosphere and the delicious selection of pastries and sandwiches made it one of the highlights of my trip! I loved the mexican chocolate spice cake, fruit bread pudding, and the strawberry almond bar.“

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

“TEBRİKLER... GÜZEL İNSANLAR“

“They are on a corner inside the food hall, so it’s easy to pass them by or get caught up in a crowd trying to browse the pastries. I chose a chocolate chip cannoli and it was amazing! The prices are reasonable for the size pastries they serve. If I go back, I’ll try something different!“

“Love it!! Ⓜ️🤍💙 🤍💙“

“Food: I came here for the baklawa. They came pre-packaged for $7.99, so unfortunately they weren't fresh, but they still tasted fine reheated. The baklawa was very flaky and not too sweet, which I liked. I think the amount that I got was good for the price. I would grab another box to satisfy a craving.

Service: This is a market, so there is no service, but I had no issues with the cashier.

Ambiance: There is a small parking lot out front.“

“The cookie sandwiches are out of control good. It was hard to choose but I’m glad I can’t get here easily or often because I would want to eat one every day. There was a small food tour in the day I went by, and I asked if it was a vegan food tour. It wasn’t; the ice cream is just so good that self-declared Omni “foodies” want it too!“

“Beautiful place with a cozy atmosphere! Their pour-over coffee is excellent and really stands out. The sandwiches are fresh and delicious, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend for both coffee lovers and anyone looking for a nice spot to relax“

“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😃😃😃“

“The Tatte in Fenway has a cute, warm interior and a convenient location. It gets very busy, so be prepared to wait for a table, but it's worth it. I loved the lentil soup and the apple crumble cake. It's a great spot for a quick bite or for getting some work or studying done.“

“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.“

“Love this bakery off the beaten path of Hanover, but worth a little stroll. Their pizza in my humble opinion is underrated. One bite and you know the rest. I love their wide variety of pastries. Their team is very friendly and patient. Cash or card are accepted here.“

“We worked with Heather at Top Shelf Cookies for our wedding welcome bags, and the process could not have been easier! She helped us create beautiful custom cookies and even printed a custom label for the bags, which made them extra special. All of our guests absolutely loved the cookies, and Heather was a joy to work with, professional, creative, and so accommodating. Highly recommend Top Shelf Cookies for any special occasion!“

“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“

“I got 2 vegan donuts and they were so good! somewhere between a cake and yeast donut. I had pink lemonade and cinnamon sugar. I love when companies include different allergy or dietary preferences. It is always appreciated. So glad I checked them out. Plus the market was a cool vibe“

“A Chinatown staple and my current favorite restaurant and bakery close to the Chinatown gate. Their bakery churns out the most creative and delicious baked goods in Chinatown like variations of the pineapple bun with coconut or cha siu and so many mooncakes. Credit card limit is low ($10?) and easy to hit. The dim sum is fresh and top notch. The aunties behind the counter are so kind and attentive.“
