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!“

“We love the quiche at Colette's!“

“we were visiting Boston for a few days and were staying close to Michette. We would go there every morning for breakfast and it was such a beautiful discovery. The vegan guava roll and focaccia… so so delicious! The vegan pastries made by Michette were the best ones I had so far. Thank you to the friendly and welcoming staff!“

“Everything in this bakery is flawless. The savory olive roll, the hearty multigrain sourdough, and the buttery raspberry tart move me to dance, bring tears to my eyes, and make me want to hug the baker. Bread is what I'd crave on my deathbed, and these loaves would absolutely top that list. But it's the wonderfully welcoming people behind the counter that truly make this place feel like heaven on earth.“

“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“

“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!!“

“Stopped in on a whim and grabbed a coffee and spinach pastry. Both were great!

The best part of the experience was the staff. They were very busy but still friendly and smiling. The man who took my order was very, very kind and made my day.

Wonderful, local coffee shop!“

“I can't recommend Korean Momma enough! We ordered an OG Burnt Basque Cheesecake for my boyfriend's birthday, and it was honestly the best Basque cheesecake we've ever had. The texture was perfectly creamy and custardy with that beautifully caramelized top, and the flavor was incredible, not overly sweet and just absolutely delicious.

What made the experience even more special was how kind and accommodating Su Jean and Duly were. They were able to make a special order for us outside of their regular drop schedule, which completely surprised my boyfriend and made his birthday so memorable. They even included an extra slice of their chocolate Basque cheesecake, which was such a thoughtful surprise.

If you're looking for a cake outside one of their scheduled drops, I'd absolutely recommend reaching out to ask about a special order. They were wonderful to work with, and the extra effort meant so much to us.“

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

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

“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“

“The quality of these sandwiches has been praised by many, so let me praise the gluten free bread used for the GF versions! Absolutely delicious, flavorful, moist.... So incredible, I had to double-check with the staff it was actually gluten free, I couldn't believe it!“

“Casual cafe that sells high quality french/ Mediterranean inspired pastries and entrees. Love the shakshuka, its a must have!!! Brownies and pistachio tart was yummy. There's so many of them in Boston, you can pretty much find it no matter where u are.“

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

“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.“

“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. 🍋🥥“

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

“SOOO delicious!!! Everything about my experience made me feel like I was in a local Paris pastry shop. I met Pedro who gave a recommendation as a first comer! The staff is welcoming and gave it a family vibe. The sweets are heavenly. I will dream about the coffee eclair!! I also had this raspberry cake that was tart and sweet all at the same time. I will be back :)“

“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.“

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

“Fig is the best! Their takeout window basically got me through the pandemic, and I feel very lucky that this is my local. As a certified scone-hater, their blueberry scone is the best I've ever had. I recommend their lattes, smoothies, breakfast sandwiches (the cheddar cheese is SHARP), and chia pudding. Their lunch sandwiches are also great. 10/10 for staff, vibes, food, and coffee.“

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

“Sourdough olive👍👍👍 bread“

“Cake order review only: easy to inquire about a cake online. Easy payment once we discussed the vision of the cake. And easy pickup. BEAUTIFUL CAKE. The cake was $90 for a heart shaped 2 layer cake with vintage piping, vegan vanilla with vegan vanilla buttercream and strawberry jam filling. I didn’t get the filling but was refunded immediately and the person handling the situation was so nice. I had asked why the darker icing tasted to chemically and they informed that the more they use the dye the more it tastes like it. So I would just skip that completely. Get the lighter frostings. Because like I said these are beautiful cakes and the cake itself is a good texture and flavor as a vegan cake.“

“10/10 experience! Great coffee and breakfast. Love the vibe of the atmosphere!“

“Sometimes you pass something so many times without having a connection until one day...that was me running past this gem 💎 one too many times until one day aka today thanks to the Dorchester Running Club (DRC) I ventured into the halls of Top Shelf Cookies where I was hemmed in with too many choices but alas I chose the Black & Gold and the Salted Caramel.
Don't let this gem pass you by hihihi 🤭
I shall be back!“

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

“Cranberry Pecan Roll is out of this world.“

“This place is amazing. Love the sourdough. Not a New York bagel and not trying to be either.“

“Was in the area for a convention and happily stumbled onto Colette's. The ladies working the counter were very pleasant and helpful. The croissants we purchased were absolutely delicious, while the macarons were great as well. Street parking was a bit of a challenge but worth the effort. Definitely would stop again if we are in the area.“

“Fantastic atmosphere, amazing food and superb service. Highly recommend!“

“Best bakery and cafe around!“

“Stopped at Raymundo's for the first time today and LOVED the food. The family got pupusas and I had the lengua torta. The pupusas were the best we have had in a while, stuffed to the edges. The torta was exactly what I needed, amazing portion and the bread was soft and toasted perfectly.

The only critique is that on a hot day the dining room (window high top) was too hot to dine in, we took it to the car.“

“We had a small get together at Bits and bites cafe.. The staff was so courteous and knowledgeable.. breakfast and sweet treats were top notch. Please consider Bits and Bites for your next cafe, you won’t be disappointed!“

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

“Levain Bakery was a great stop! The latte was very aromatic, smooth, and delicious. The location was nice, walkable, and had a social feel, which made it a great place to stop by and enjoy a treat.

They had a lot of tasty bakery options, and everything looked fresh and delicious. The staff were also friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better.

Overall, Levain Bakery is a great spot for a good latte, delicious baked treats, and a nice atmosphere. I would definitely recommend it.“

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

“I was just in the mood for some Brazilian type pastries for lunch, and looked it up on Yelp! My daughter and I drove from Woburn to Somerville and ordered an assortment of goods... You know when you experience something that takes you back to your childhood?? This was it for me...the ambience, the friendliness, and the flavors. Me, my daughter and my inner child drove home with smiles on our faces with food for my wife and my mother to enjoy!!! Amazing! We’ll be back soon!“

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

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

“I normally dont dont this but Komugi Bakery is absolutely a 5/5! You can really tell how much attention they put into every detail, especially when it comes to texture and flavor. Everything feels carefully made, with the perfect balance of softness, richness, and sweetness without being overwhelming.

The French toast was definitely a standout. The texture was incredible, soft and fluffy on the inside with just the right finish on the outside. Every bite had so much flavor, and you could really taste the quality and thought that went into it.

What impressed me most about Komugi is how intentional everything feels. The flavors, textures, presentation, and small details all come together perfectly. Definitely a bakery worth visiting, and I’ll absolutely be coming back!“

“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 🙏“

“I’ve worked in this area for a year and a half and tried every coffee shop in the area and Bakey is hands down the best for Americano pastries and their bagels are light and fluffy. The service is excellent, fast and friendly you won’t be sorry. This is the first review I’ve ever written, it’s that good.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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).❤️“

“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)“

“King Do has recently moved to a new location, and the space is now much larger, cleaner, and more airy. The menu still offers a wide variety of options, and the food remains just as delicious and affordable as before. The highlights for me are definitely the pennywort drink and the mung bean milk—both are refreshing and a must-try.“
