50 Best Bakeries near East Boston

“the have the best family owned business,thank you for not running out of eastie like every one else.“

“I ordered my daughters 6th birthday cake from La Casa Del Pandebono and it literally the best experience I’ve ever had with any business. Not only was the custom cake beautiful and delicious, they provided a level of exceptional customer service that I didn’t even know existed. The “Tangled” cake included a beautiful edible gold crown as it’s center piece, and it was packaged separately. Despite my best efforts to handle it carefully, I accidentally broke it the night before the birthday party. I texted the owner asking if he has recommendations for me to reassemble it (knowing it was unlikely, but I was desperate). He immediately responded and asked for my address, letting me know he’d deliver a new one when he closed the store (I live in another town). I was shocked at his generosity and beyond grateful. As an expression of gratitude, a sent him an additional tip which he politely attempted to reject (I wouldn’t allow it…haha). In return, he delivered not only the grown, but an order of birria tacos and an empanada (which I was admiring when I went to pick up the cake) - literally the best tacos I’ve ever had. I cannot emphasize how touched I was by this experience. La Casa Del Pandebono is a rare gem - baked goods that are truly a work of art, and incredible food that is only surpassed by the unbelievable customer service. I will be a customer for life.“

“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!“

“We love the quiche at Colette's!“

“The zucchini bread was fire!! Very moist, not too sweet, and dense enough without being overpowering. We also loved the orange chignon--you could really taste the orange, and it was very flaky/light. The latte had a deep flavor and wasn't too bitter. The only thing I would not order again was the passion fruit matcha latte, which tasted almost like a sour milk; it wasn't sweet at all and also did not have a strong matcha flavor, and I had a hard time finishing it.“

“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!“

“Every week when I take my dog on a long walk we pass Weesh so I can get my weekly fix of the Berry Pop Tart. Not only does it taste fresh and amazing, but the owner and staff there are beyond kind and friendly. This is a true gem in Roslindale Village“

“Wow. Just wow! This offering/experience is a gem amongst gems. The cheesecake is phenomenal and the story of the makers is also really sweet. I got to sample the durian during my pick up of the (special wrapped) LNY sesame flavor! They were both so heavenly—friggin creamy yet delicate at the same time. Like how. Really happy I got to share this impeccable treat with friends and look forward to ordering again for future special occasions.“

“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!!“

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

“amazing pastries!! nice people and very good coffee. I will be back!“

“I wish Bova's Bakery are coming in Oroville, California“

“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. 🍋🥥“

“Will never go there just by reading reviews how they treat customers with disrespect, that behavior is not tolerate in Little Italy NYC Mulberry Street stop by Cafe Palermo if you in New York“

“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.“

“Breakfast sandwiches are a hobby of mine and this one is top-tier. They also have a window so you don’t have to go inside and it’s always very fast and so delicious fresh English muffins absolutely delicious English muffin pizzas ! 10 outta 10“

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

“I really like this cake shop and have been here several times. The cakes are really nice—light, elegant, and not too sweet, with very delicate flavors. The bread is also great and all very reasonably priced.

The staff are friendly and polite, and I always leave with a good impression. If you’re nearby, it’s easy to stop by since there’s street parking along the road.

It’s a French pâtisserie, but I’d especially recommend it to Japanese customers as well—the flavors feel very familiar and approachable.“

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

“Cranberry Pecan Roll is out of this world.“

“Had a Rocky Road cookie, and it was amazing. The staff here is wonderful, and very friendly. I can’t wait to bring my friends here.“

“Excellent service and the cookies are amazing. Convenient opening at 8am so I was able to pick up before work.“

“The cookies are delicious! Top Shelf Cookies came to our local farmers market and we gave them a try. The Black & Gold (Chocolate & Peanut Butter) rival that of Levain Bakery and the Ginger Chews have the perfect amount of spice. Looking forward to trying more of their flavors.“

“Italian Rum cake baked gluten free is one of my fav cakes from Daniels Bakery“

“Fine pastries made by chef Sharif and his team… great espresso with a French vibe all the way down to the bistro chairs and marble top tables situated in a picturesque cobblestone alley overhung by ivy and beautiful trees. Portsmouth’s greatest hidden gem that everyone seems to know about.“

“Everything you buy here will be absolutely fantastic.

I personally find the atmosphere a bit cold and bright and it could be cozier (although my wife wouldn't change it). Also, they quickly run out of stuff so you may not always get what you hoped for.“

“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.“

“My favorite bagel with lox - perfect every time!“

“An absolute gem and best bakery I've been to in Cambridge/Boston serving fresh baked Japanese style breads! Everything is freshly made and baked in-house and the quality speaks for itself: incredible Japanese wheat and flavor. Their salt bread was so soft, flavorful, and buttery. Their curry pan, which was fresh out of the oven was warm, perfectly savory. The French toast was simply heavenly, with a custardy pillowy sweetness. Their coffee was also incredible. You can tell the staff care so much. We'll be back regularly.“

“From the very beginning working with the people at Donna’s Cakes was an A+ experience. All the people I spoke with were nice and helpful. The birthday cake was beautifully decorated, delicious and ready as promised. Thank you!“

“First time visiting Levain Bakery in Seaport Boston, and honestly. It felt like a miracle. It was 21:00 and I needed warm, soft cookies 🍪

The service from Cole H was outstanding: no pushing, no rushing, just genuinely friendly and welcoming. The warm, gooey cookies made me so happy.

I enjoyed it so much that I had to write a review as soon as I got back to my hotel.

Thank you, Levain. Thank you, Cole H.“

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

“The best buttercream frosting and most delicious cakes 😋 we get as many birthday cakes as we can from Sweet Spot! I call every year on my own birthday for a custom, big version of their “icicle”…and if you haven’t tried one, omg you need to! Friendly staff, yummy treats, beautifully decorated desserts…cannot be beat!!!“

“Chocoweggli !!!! YOU HAVE TO TRY IT!.... Even better, try a BLT on a chocoweggli Truth be told, best BLT I ever had in my life! that a drink and a cookie fall for 10 bucks 🙏“

“This was my second time at Tatte, and it was just as good as the first! We ordered the shakshuka and the halloumi sandwich, and both were absolutely delicious. The pistachio latte was amazing, so flavorful and perfectly made. I’ll definitely be back to try their desserts, because they look incredible!
Update: I came back and tried the vanilla lime Krembu, it was delicious!“

“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.

“Candice fit me in last minute, took my ideas and went with it! The cookies came out amazing and I couldn’t be more thankful for her fitting me in! (Fire academy graduation cookies)“

“This place has strong sentimental value for me. We got our wedding cake here and they don’t ( or didn’t at the time ) make wedding cakes. We were young and poor and they made us three cakes which we put on platters to make into a wedding cake. We had so much left over we were eating it until Thanksgiving (got married at the end of August). We had no money and were eating pancakes, kraft Mac and cheese, chicken loaf sandwiches, chicken pucks and ramen to survive. But our freezer was filled with the leftover cake and I just loved it.
Circle back 30 some odd years later and my wife and I are walking through Chinatown and we come across this place again (we had moved away from the area after we got married). We go inside, the cake is not on the menu, but we tell them what we want (peach cake) and they make it for us right there. We bring it home and eat it the whole cake in one sitting.
Now whenever we are in Chinatown, we stop here before we go home and they make the cake for us ( though we don’t eat the whole thing in one sitting anymore).❤️“

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

“Love this place. The coffee is delicious and I love the different muffins offered. I just recently tried the western egg sandwiches on an everything bagel. We also came in to try the pizzas. Delicious!! Will be back for more!!“

“I am so impressed with the creativity and quality of the beautiful creations these amazing sisters! Everyone should order their custom designed cakes and pastries from Solodko. And how clever their last name means sweet-perfect! Nadine“

“Great coffee, great pastries, popular local spot that's definitely worth the visit. Every pastry I've tried has been delicious and the coffee has a unique soft flavor.

Only wish the location was a bit bigger. It can get really crowded and there's not a lot seating.“

“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!“

“Everyday, the front to the back of the house are the Best. 5 am this am, 2 coffee cake muffins hot off the press . If you don’t go , you’re missing out. Definitely one of the top businesses in Boston.“
