50 Best Bakeries near Dorchester

“Food was good. However, I didn’t blow me away. The pupusas I was looking forward to, but mine was not cooked all the way through so it wasn’t that pleasant. I’m sure it would’ve been delicious if it had been cooked properly. Definitely do not go to dine in. There are a few Chairs next to the window and that’s it. It’s pretty much a takeout place. I would try it again, but probably not anytime soon.“

“I’ve been coming to this location since 2006, 19 years and counting! I’ve had countless bánh mì sandwiches over the years, but none have ever come close to how good this spot is..

The owner is such a warm, kind, and wonderful woman, and her grandson, who also works here is just as friendly and genuine. They make you feel like family every time you stop by.

I absolutely love this place and will always come back. It’s a true gem that’s stood the test of time!“

“I went back with a friend, reluctantly after bad experience with Emily the manager, and was greeted with the warmest, friendliest smile by an Divine an employee there! She showed me how to order, recommended some delicious cookies, and helped me sign up for the Crumble Cookie rewards! She even engaged with my child and my niece with special needs! They loved her so much they asked can they move there...lol! Thank you for an amazing experience Divine!“

“The most delicious pastries ever. If you love pistachio the way I do you will have trouble choosing and it is ALL great. But I particularly love the savories. The Palestinian bread and the flatbread with the green topping (forget what it's called) is a family favorite. We adore these; the flatbreads are a great quick lunch. But so so delicious, fresh, we are so fortunate to have you here!“

“What a treat to find this little French bakery in Somerville! The cardamom bun this morning was crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside with just a bit of caramelisation at the bottom and really nice amount of cardamom - which can often be lacking in cardamom buns. The pain au chocolat was still warm and the chocolate was soft. The entire thing melted in my mouth. I also enjoyed the coffee! Not an every day place for those that need to be careful of their pastry/bread/butter intake, but a treat for sure!“

“My favorite, # 1 bakery in the Boston area. I've been coming here for years. Lots of, lots of love for this place and folks. ❤️❤️❤️🫶 Their breads and pastries are simply the best. It’s the kind of bread that takes you straight back to your grandma’s kitchen.

Over the years, they've gotten incredibly popular, and the lines now can be a bit much, especially on weekends or holidays. So I don’t stop by as often these days, but they’ll always have a special place in my heart.“

“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!!“

“Incredible customer service, the kind that is rare to find! Above and beyond! The pastries are delicious. The Cruffins are light, airy and just the right amount of sweetness. We support small businesses, and this one is a hidden gem!“

“Very lovely folks who work here and nice space, but if you’re a coffee snob who came for the high ratings just be a bit careful what you order.

The flat white here is a latte and the beans are not good. I think this is somewhere to go more for Turkish coffee or American-style syruped coffee. And (probably) good pastries!“

“Weesh and owner Elyse are treasures! The tarts are a delight (brown sugar is my fave), and her cakes are seriously amazing. Best chocolate cake I've ever had. Perfect cake to frosting ratio. So beautiful (and no fondant, yay)!“

“The patties are wonderfully spiced & flakey. can't wait to try sweet the pastries!“

“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!“

“I stop by every so often for pastries and hot chocolate or tea. It's a lovely atmosphere with great workers. I decided to order a birthday cake for myself from them this year, and it was perfect. It reminded me of my childhood. Everyone loved it, and it tasted great even the next day! It was ready for me at the scheduled time and was easy to transport to my birthday dinner. It's so awesome to have a place that can cater to dietary concerns like mine and still taste amazing.“

“I know it wasn’t your normal birthday cake but wanted to let you know we loved it 🥰. From ordering the cake, to pick up, this place is amazing. Thank you for working your magic on my special request of lemon & coconut. 🍋🥥“

“Katie was the absolute BEST to work with for our wedding - we can't recommend her enough! She developed an assortment of mini cupcakes and macarons that perfectly matched our wedding colors, flavor preferences, and accommodated the groom's allergies. She was so organized and easy to work with and handled all of the day-of setup and breakdown flawlessly. Our desert table felt so personal and we got so many compliments from guests. We can't wait to have another excuse to work with Katie!“

“The best Italian food in the North End! I ate their pizza for breakfast at 10 AM! Best pizza I ever had. Most delicious sauce and mozzarella from heaven. And the owners are the kindest people. They allowed me to park my commercial vehicle temporarily in their parking spot out front so I could unpack a 10’ truck in the pouring rain - we were staging a property across the street. - Home Staging by Abigail“

“What an amazing place. In these times when we are still not comfortable dining indoors this place rocks. The chef behind these dishes knows a thing or two about bringing beer garden food to a totally new level. Thank you chef and staff in front of the house.“

“This is literally the best coffee in town. I’ve been going once a week for the past two years, and it never disappoints. They also have the best apple cider doughnut in the area, seriously, you have to try it.
Everything they make is delicious, and their bread is amazing too, especially the Japanese-style one. The quality, the flavor, and the consistency keep me coming back every single week. Highly recommend!“

“By far one of the best cakes I've had.

Fresh or canned fruit are delicious options they have. It's an angel food cake with a airy light frosting not too sweet. The fruit itself is the sweetness.

They are very kind and kept my order in the fridge until my Lyft came.“

“Omg that was amazing taste on everything.. Highly recommended to try the chives scone 👌👌“

“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!“

Phyllis O'Leary“

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

“The team at Levain Bakery helped make my son's 16th birthday extra special, and I'm so grateful! Sixteen can be such a hard age to celebrate in a way that feels meaningful, but they completely delivered. From the beginning, they were so easy to communicate with and genuinely cared about making his day memorable. Though mom wasn't cool enough to tag along, they kindly sent videos showing just how happy and special he felt. It's clear they put real heart into what they do, and their warmth and attention to detail turned a simple bakery visit into a cherished birthday memory. Thank you for going above and beyond!“
