50 Best Bakeries in Boston

“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!!“

“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“

“Stopped in on a whim and grabbed a coffee and spinach pastry. Both were great!

The best part of the experience was the staff. They were very busy but still friendly and smiling. The man who took my order was very, very kind and made my day.

Wonderful, local coffee shop!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“10/10 experience! Great coffee and breakfast. Love the vibe of the atmosphere!“

“Sometimes you pass something so many times without having a connection until one day...that was me running past this gem 💎 one too many times until one day aka today thanks to the Dorchester Running Club (DRC) I ventured into the halls of Top Shelf Cookies where I was hemmed in with too many choices but alas I chose the Black & Gold and the Salted Caramel.
Don't let this gem pass you by hihihi 🤭
I shall be back!“

“Vegan POV: the broccolini, squash and hummus wrap is delicious and worth the visit. Sadly, no soy milk option for coffee - only oat 😦and almond 😫(opinions about non dairy milk options are my own). I didn't see vegan pastry options, but I admittedly wasn't looking for them, so might have missed one.“

“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 👌👌“

“Levain Bakery was a great stop! The latte was very aromatic, smooth, and delicious. The location was nice, walkable, and had a social feel, which made it a great place to stop by and enjoy a treat.

They had a lot of tasty bakery options, and everything looked fresh and delicious. The staff were also friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better.

Overall, Levain Bakery is a great spot for a good latte, delicious baked treats, and a nice atmosphere. I would definitely recommend it.“

“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 🙏“

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

“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!“

“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 impressed with the creativity and quality of the beautiful creations these amazing sisters! Everyone should order their custom designed cakes and pastries from Solodko. And how clever their last name means sweet-perfect! Nadine“

“Came here twice, Bovas twice and Modern once. Bovas was not great, modern we didn't even buy anything cuz it was all cake and cannolis. Mikes we loved. Wait in the line, you'll be happy you did. We went here and the one by Harvard. Both great.“

“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.“

“Cute little city coffee cafe! Just a hop in from right off the main streets, they had a really nice selection of coffee, teas, pastries, soups, salads, etc. It’s very cozy inside with tables, chairs and low lighting. It was decently quiet inside, and the staff is friendly and helpful with suggestions. We got two pistachio lattes and they were incredibly good. Not too heavy on flavoring and they didn’t taste artificial. Overall, a nice stop for a bite and drink.“

“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.“

“What a delicious tasting cake! Perfect for anytime of the day! I absolutely love it with my morning coffee. Great cake for any time of the day. I highly recommend it! Buy It!!!!❤️😋“

“These bagels were amazing. I had the lox bagel, my son had the cheddar bagel with cream cheese, my husband had the cream cheese with heirloom tomato, and my daughter had the salted rosemary with cream cheese. Every single one was delicious.

The flavor reminded me of Apollo Bagels in New York truly some of the best bagels I’ve had in Boston. The coffee deserves a mention too; it was excellent. The team was incredibly sweet, there’s cute seating out front, and the neighborhood is lovely.

A must try. I’ll definitely be back.“

“This is, by far, the best place to get Haitian patties. About 10 years ago, they made the absolute 💯 best Haitian patties. While things have changed over the years, it's still the best spot for Haitian patties in the Mattapan, Hyde Park, and Dorchester areas.
There's nothing particularly memorable about the service or the atmosphere. It's a very small, no-frills place—but if you're there for the patties, you won't be disappointed.“

“I’ve been coming her for at least 30 years. First with my grandmother as a child, whenever she was in a rage against American food, she would make my grandpa drive an hour in Boston traffic just to grab some buns. Now I take the train in regularly with my 6 kids in for buns for the last 14 years. It’s their favorite place in Boston.

It’s wildly consistent. Cash only, cheap, delicious, and the ladies working their are as fast and no-nonsense as they were 30 years ago.“

“👍 👍 👍 yes great bakery do go“

“I just had my first order of baklava today, and the taste is out of this world. Love how fresh and tasty the baklava are. The person who served us was very respectful, professional and generous.
He offered us perks until we have our order prepared.
I have tasted sooo many baklava, but this one by far the best“

“Love it!! Ⓜ️🤍💙 🤍💙“

“Sooooooooooo Goooooooooooooooooooooooood!“

“Cute! Collette's Bakery is an off the beaten path charming little French style patisserie. Too many delights to describe in detail but what a find! As we were resting and enjoying our sweet treat a fellow customer engaged us in a pleasant conversation about the Boston Marathon. I think my favorite thing was that we found this place not from a tour guide or travel site but by walking down the street.“

“randomly found this place while searching for a breakfast spot, it was amazing !!
the portion sizes and prices were decent, the taste was great !!
i really recommend the shakshuka dish ( ◠‿◠ )“

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

“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.“

“Amazing as always!! Staff and service wonderful.“

“LOVED our rum cake from this bakery for our rehearsal dinner! I wanted to honor my Caribbean heritage and serve island-inspired foods. I was blown away by the cake's detail, and so appreciated the opportunity to write a small message as well! It was very easy for us to communicate with this bakery too. Perfect delivery and excited to order again!“

“We were on a trip and found this Cafe during our walk through the historic places in Boston. It offers delicious pastries, various breakfast sandwiches and lots of options for coffee and tea. Their orange juice is spectacular and the closest one to a real orange juice I've ever had. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The dining area is a little small for the number of the customers but there are also chairs and tables outside. The Croissant breakfast sandwich and the Honey Halva Latte we had were so delicious. Thank you Tatte.“

“Owner influenced exceptional warm friendly atmosphere with pleasant service and neighborhood charm. Excellent pastries highlighted by out of universe blueberry muffins (that go fast). Good food constantly attended to by owner. Feel good place.“

“Located in a super cozy corner, I think we walked by this place quite a few times before stopping in. Easily had the best chocolate croissant I’ve ever eaten here, and if you’re able to, a fresh out of the oven slice of their pizza is amazing. Person behind the counter was very knowledgeable and patient. Great place.“

“Tried the vegan Hot Chocolate this weekend at the Holiday Market. Omg!!!! Out of this world! Thank you!!!!!!“

“Really enjoyed this coffee shop! The espresso was excellent—smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely a great spot in the South End for a quality espresso and a relaxing coffee break!“

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

“Visited Chip City today and had the best experience with Jamesly. He was so nice and enthusiastic and recommended the s’mores cookie and the Sea Salt caramel ice cream, I took his advice and got both and it did not disappoint! Both were so good!“

“Tried several Tatte and this one is special. Food is always perfect and if ever someone has taken my online order, the managers always assist and get is asap. Store is super clean and service is always special. I do like the small talk. Mary, Francesca Gm, Roselyn, Hector always know my order and drinks. Totally worth the daily trip.“

“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.“

“buenas atenciones y buen sabor“

“Crumbl cookies in Brighton is the best location! The cookies and deserts always come out perfect. Their customer service is excellent, the store is super clean and very friendly staff. I definitely recommend this location to anyone. A+ service!“
