28 Best Bakeries in Cambridge

“These are the best and most unique cheesecakes that I have ever eaten, and Duly is a kind and awesome human. I highly recommend the Vietnamese Coffee and the OG Burnt, and the specialty flavors of ube as well as durian were also delicious! It's a super easy ordering and pickup experience, there are often fun samples to try, the fillings are always perfectly creamy and the crust pairs perfectly, and Duly is always dreaming up delectable, one-of-a-kind flavors. If I could afford to, I would try every cake Duly makes, with lots of repeat orders!“

“Cranberry Pecan Roll is out of this world.“

“Everything I’ve bought, from the spinach and feta triangles to zaatar spiced focaccia has been delicious and fresh, plus the owner is kind.“

“My sister-in-law just sent me and my wife a door dash order to cheer us up, with cold brew and two pains au chocolat. I took one bite and… wow. Buttery but light and flaky, cooked just right - understated perfection in a bag! I grew up in France, and this is honestly one of the best French pastries I have had in 28 years living in the US. Even in France it's not every day you find one this good! We’ll be going there for more, can’t wait to try what else they have to offer!“

“Excelent food (we tried the almond babhka and the chocolate/banana), but horrible service at the counter. Was clearly, obviously handed half a babhka (i was even here the day before and ordered the same thing) and the employees did not seem they wanted to help me. If employees were kind this place would definitely be a 5 star!!“

“Don't let the view from the road fool you - this iconic business has the best Portuguese and Azores-style bread ever. Arrive early for the best selection.“

“Mike’s Pastry has been a sweet staple in Boston’s North End since 1946, and its Harvard Square location brings that same tradition to Cambridge. Bright boxes tied with string are carried out by a steady stream of visitors every day.

The bakery is most famous for its cannoli, offered in flavors like chocolate chip, pistachio, and espresso, though shelves are also filled with biscotti, lobster tails, and other classic Italian treats. Students and tourists alike line up for a taste.“

“We’ve been eating here a few times a year (other than during Covid) for about 10 years we’ve never had anything other than exceptional food. The sticky bun is the star of the show (aka for extra goo!!!!) but everything that is to your personal taste is fantastic.“

“Delicious fresh authentic Liège waffles! Service was friendly and fast , highly recommended !!“

“Always tasty and fresh 😋!“

“What an amazing discovery! This is exactly a real true French Bakery and Patisserie, what a pleasure to eat a delicious chocolate croissant or a typical French Kouign Amann. Come and feel the cosy atmosphere of the store as well as the super nice staff ♥️“

“I followed an Instagram post from Cape Cod to Central Square. Well worth the drive. I hardly ever order food to go, but during this time, this is the only place I’ve gone so far.“

“Loved the atmosphere. They have great variety of pastries. Highly recommend the sticky sticky bun!! We also tried Honey milk cake and banana bread they were ok I liked them better the next day when I took the leftovers. I had dirty matcha and I liked it! A bit pricey for this order we paid 45$ but we were happy ^^“

“Best gluten free doughnuts I have ever had!!“

“They made the best sandwiches!!! You will have tons of sandwiches option and I bet all of them are good. Their vegetarian option are amazing!! Bowls and salad are also available. The bread is all made in house. They also have a fun selection of wine and booze sell as a bottle. Can’t wait to come back and try more dishes of them“

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

“This bakery is absolutely amazing! 🥐☕️
The sandwiches and pastries are incredibly delicious — everything tastes fresh and perfectly made. The place itself is unbelievably aesthetic and cozy, with beautiful dishes and presentation that make every detail feel special. You can tell everything — from the food to the coffee cups — is chosen with great taste. Definitely a must-visit spot!“

“This is our favorite go to bagel spot in our neighborhood. Staff is always friendly, fresh bagels, and quick. Online ordering is a great option when you’re on the go. We love getting their bagels by the dozen for the house as they stay fresh for awhile. Highly recommend!“

“Best Crumbl experience yet 🍪 All thanks to the lovely sales associate, who was so genuinely welcoming and friendly! He went the extra mile to make sure my cookies were safe and secure as I would be flying them over later that day. I unfortunately didn't get his name but was there at 10:00. Please make sure he gets the recognition he deserves! ⭐️“

“We ate at bom dough when we visited my grandson who lives on Cambridge Street . Food was delicious and unique. Would love to send him a gift card , and would also eat there again if we visit him.“

“The location, atmosphere, and service were great! The drinks were pretty good. The food was different for us but we’re from the south. It was good, but if you’re used to southern breakfasts, order something different so you won’t be disappointed! Their “salsa” was similar to tomato soup with no spice so that was unique!“

“These are excellent cookies! They're fresh and warm when you buy them. They have an extremely wide variety of specialty cookies with different compositions and flavors. The specialty cookies available change regularly so there's a lot of different types to try.“

“smooth latte, nice to have a decaffeinated lattee.“

“Great place. Food is awesome. Lots of seating as it's a good court in H Mart. It's a block near the Red Line and bus 1 goes past it. I had a slice of rainbow cake which was so pretty and tasty and a soda. They have tons of pastries a few cakes and coffee. More than most coffee shops. Very nice!“

“Ice cream is always excellent.“

“This is one of those nice chains that doesn't look or feel like a chain operation. Light, fluffy, fresh and very well-made croissants as well as other baked goods. Their coffee drinks are also excellent with yummy lattes and international caliber espresso.

Worth a visit if you are nearby although the lines can get a bit tedious during busy hours. All in all, nice to have such a nice quality café nearby.“

“Coffee and ice cream, what more could you want?“

“I can praise Henrietta”s table enough! The choices are amazing all healthy and sounds delicious and fresh! Having gluten and dairy allergies it’s hard to find a restaurant that is kind and respectful and understanding is hard but here they will make sure you have a fabulous safe meal. Been here a few times and last night we had Brit who was absolutely a doll helped me get out of my scrod box and try the salmon. I HIGHLY suggest for all. Thank you Brit much appreciate it“
