Central Bakery Reviews
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.

My family has been coming to Central Bakery for generations for Portuguese Easter Bread (Folar Da Pascoa) . The tradition continues! It's the best! :-)
The best bread ever! Love the corn bread and the chubby bread as I call it specially!!!
