Great spot. Delicious baked good. Excellent location. Perfect spot to refuel on a ride along the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail.

I enjoy coming to Nashoba. I like the baked goods, sandwiches. I do find the mochas very bitter and always feel I have to ask for more syrups to balance the flavor since it doesn't taste quite right when I order them. I kinda wish Nashoba would find an alternate mocha/chocolate sauce for mochas. The service is great and I do enjoy the ambiance and vibe of Nashoba.

The sourdough is top notch. The sandwiches are also delicious, however it's hit or miss whether they come how you ordered them. Today I ordered the factory 152 and it was great except there was no chicken on it lol. Kind of a rip off but I still ate it. I wish they had a little more attention to detail but i'm not gonna stop going there. Maybe just check the sandwich before you go back home or to work.

The food is ok but it has definitely lost something since the pandemic. For example. Some of the niceties are just gone. Ordering the quiche. It's microwaved to oblivion, then no fresh fruit on the side or piece of bread anymore. These omissions may seem a minor complaint. But they were part of the experience of eating here. Service is lackluster and not trying to win any awards. Need some care here and perhaps a little enthusiasm, these wouldn't take much to provide and would be very appreciated!

Will never go back. I went to the bakery today 10/28 ordered a breakfast and rosemary bread. The girl at the register, despite a big box of gloves under her nose, she proceeded to handle my bread with her bare hands (talk about hygiene). My jaw dropped, until she literally sneezed facing me and directly on the bag. My eyes popped out of my face. Yes, she was wearing a cloth mask, but we all know that particles go through cloth. The audacity. This place needs to train their people on how to follow proper hygiene protocols. I am disgusted beyond words. Will never go back.

I went today 10/23/23. 1st time there. At least when I went the parking was full except for the handicap, the place inside was clean, friendly staff. I got their in-house sourdough bread, and is super good. My son got their croissant and it was good as well.

I'm so bummed to write a bad review. In all fairness, I did visit about 30 mins before they closed, so that might have made a difference. I walked in and no one acknowledged me at all despite being the only one in line. The two people behind the counter looked busy, so I waited...and waited...and waited. Finally, I just ordered and paid on their online kiosk-those orders looked like they were being attended to. I went to the bathroom while i waited and found it smelling like s*** with paper towels all over the floor and the changing table broken. I had been pleased to see that there even was a changing table for my baby but I couldn't use it. Nor would i have because the bathroom was dirty and smelly. Nope. So, after 10 mins of no acknowledgement and no food, I just left. There was one other person in the whole bakery and still nothing from the staff. Keep my $12. I'll never be back.

Nashoba Brook Bakery in West Concord, Massachusetts has the best bread on the planet. Period. Variety, exceptional quality, either to go or eat-in. Our fave breads: Sourdough; Harvest; French; 7-Grain. All savory food is amazing from perfectly made sandwiches, simple or elaborate; soups; quiches; and changing salads, muffins, scones, French toast. Many items are available for take-home: ready for soon, or frozen for later. Can't beat their whole quiches for a perfect easy meal.Sweets are extraordinary & ever-changing, too: berry pies, cherry cookie bars, lemon bars & cupcakes, chocolate brownies. By the piece or whole, desserts are great. Probably you'll be full from meal: bags for later or now are standard. No need to ask.Hot & Cold Coffees and Teas selection and quality: wow. just WOW. Cold juices & other beverages great too.Best of all: the atmosphere, inside and out. Warm, inviting, neighborly yet special. Nashoba Brook is a delightful tributary of the Assabet River, with picnic tables alongside its blue and green beauty: birds singing, and a lovely footbridge over the Brook leads to the parking lot in back, off Winthrop Street in West Concord (easily accessible from Mass Ave). Using GPS? Google medical building: " 56 Winthrop St, Concord, MA" to locate parking lot. Drive to back of lot: Look for bakery's Slow Rise trucks: you're there! Enter via footbridge over Nashoba Brook, walk to right till you see Nashoba Brook Bakery sign on left. Easier than it sounds -- with detailed how-to-get-there directions 1st time. There is also a bike rack at Bakery/town end of footbridge.Recent expansion led to front door on Mass Ave closed (wasn't as attractive); follow signs & listen for babbling Nashoba Brook to back of building to enter. Much nicer riverside back entrance -- I have used it since 1998!Indoors is filled with chairs (comfy low, or high for Brook views); paintings; photographs; plus notices for local music, drama, workshops, & other events. That wonderful aroma of breads baking, fresh coffee brewing, & delicious other dishes-that-day will lure you in.Breads, Breakfast, Brunch, and Lunch are core focus, so Nashoba Brokow Bakery does close at 4:00 pm. Open daily 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, 7 days a week. Great to follow on Insta and Facebook for specials. Or just get up and GO!!! You'll be glad you did.

Ordered quiche. Ate half of it, found a feather embedded in the bottom of it. The staff was very apologetic but I will never be able to eat their quiche again!

Aside from Jaho which has that amazing French Toast latte, this would probably be my favorite coffee place in the state. It's just weird that you ordinarily can't get a large size of iced latte for no reason. They have high quality ingredients and an epic selection of flavor shots, the most I've ever seen in my life. Relevant for my tastes, they not only have pumpkin spice, but pumpkin pie flavor! Year round! This is how you do it right here. Just a note that the area and parking situations can be confusing, as the bakery is behind on the building next to a defunct gas station. Wouldn't mind a different location!
Great little place hidden back in the country. Great quality food and drink. Love this place

parking - first time here and it was a little difficult to find the place. we didn't know where to park, still don't, and couldn't figure it out. we ended up on a meter spot in the streets a couple parking lots away.ambiance - you walk in and through the long hallway corridor finally arriving at your destination, the ordering counter. we got the curry sandwich and the tarragon chicken sandwich. one cookie and one lemon bar later with a coffee.you get a cup and serve the coffee yourself. i like this as i can concoct the coffee to my likings. that day i put in 75% decaf with 25% medium roast. i already had some tea at home and didn't need to turn into beavis asking do you have tp for my bungholio. everything was super fresh. i'll have to ask if they can warm the sandwich up next time coz i think that would take it to the next level of sandwiches. dare i ask if they can panini it? the lemon bar was good in flavor, texture, and very loaded in sugar.

I visited the bakery and cafe after enjoying some sourdough rolls through a food delivery service.We stopped by on a Saturday around lunch time. Each child had a sandwich (turkey for one and ham for the other.) My spouse and I shared a curried chicken salad.The server was very patient in explaining and walking me through the salad! The food tasted good and a good value, especially the kids sandwiches. They could definitely share one sandwich next time. Spouse and kids shared a chocolate chip cookie that I'm told was fine. I didn't buy any bread, but I'd summarize this as a bakery that also provides good value sandwiches. I was disappointed that none of the baked goods were sourdough; that would have been a pleasant surprise. I do love their mission with the sourdough bread.

Great sandwiches, bread was incredible too. Had a Turkey on sourdough either lettuce, tomato and avocado. Yum!
