15 Best Bakeries in Brookline

“This place has the best chocolate chip cookies in Boston to me. Even better than Levain’s in my opinion. When I lived in Nashua I used to get a dozen and bring them back home on occasion. That’s how good they are. I found out about them on Tik Tok and that’s why I came. I actually didn’t try anything else. Maybe I will go and try their other food. 5 stars though for the chocolate chip cookies.“

“Tastes like home—maybe even better, if that's possible.“

“I am so pleased that I can go right down the street from my house and am able to buy a really good apple pie, filled with lots of apples just the right amount of sugar, I almost ate the whole pie myself, another great pie which is my favorite is the Key Lime pie, Lemon squares and blueberry muffins are a must try them.

“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!!“

“Been thinking about Cheryl Ann's for ages -can't wait for them to reopen! Simply the best“

“Wonderful place with fresh and delicious food Good service One of my favorite spots to come to with my family or friends for lunch or dinner Variety of things to choose from Highly recommended“

“I’ve seen this place all over social media, so I decided to give it a try for the first time. I was really impressed by the variety of options available—it made choosing what to order quite the challenge!

I opted for their monthly special, the Pink Cloud Matcha Latte, and it did not disappoint; the flavor was fantastic! Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and the staff were both knowledgeable and friendly.“

“Kupel’s is one, if not the best, bagel spots in Boston. Everything is fresh made the morning of, and they early open at 6am. Any left over bagels from the day prior are sold for a massive discount. The bagels are so perfectly fluffy, chewy, with a nice exterior.

The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. For example, every time I walk in early in the morning, Ruthy greets me with my usual order of coffee. That kind of service is rare in today’s world and just serves as an example of how friendly the culture is.

In summary, incredible bagel shop with incredible people. What else do you want? Highly highly recommend.“

“Cute place and yummy baked goods as well as sandwiches and salads for lunch!“

“Ham and cheese croissants Raspberry pastries Nice, friendly ambience for a coffee Family owned business“

“Esmai’s offers the perfect place for both events and intimate dinners. I’ve used this wonderful restaurant for both. They have a roomy downstairs bar that was perfect for hosting my book launch party. They also have an open upstairs dining area with a breathtaking view that is perfect for drinks with friends or intimate dinners for 2. Their appetizers are brilliant: we’ve loved the Brussel sprouts and the Vietnamese Eggrolls. I also really enjoyed the Pappardelle Pasta: the meat was so tender, the pasta was silky and chewy, and the sauce was savory and tangy. My partner had the BBH Bahn Mi and raved over the taste. We love the blended texture and flavors of Esmai’s dishes.“

“The best place 🥰 Love ❤️ ❤️“

“Great neighborhood for some tea. The guy working was so happy to be there. You do not see that often. Greeted us right away when we walked in. Had some pretty great suggestions. He loved being there and in return, made some amazing drinks for us!“

“Great bakery and coffee shop to visit on a morning alone or with friends. Both the line and seating is deceiving because it looks quite busy and like seating or ordering me take a while but both move very quickly! The pistachio lattes to die for!“
