11 Best Bakeries near Florence

“Pros: -Absolutely adorable exterior & interior vibe -outdoor seating -quick service -sweet and savory options I wished there was a chocolate pie option, but there were some other chocolate sweets available and I should have tried. The hand pie we tried had a delicious buttery & flaky dough and I think I preferred it to the apple pie. If I were back in the area I'd try another hand pie and one of the chocolate offerings!“

“I've been a regular customer at the Williamsburg General Store since I was at least six years old. The food they make and sell there is still as wonderful as ever. Their breads, their wrapples, their ice cream, everything. No doubt the Majerciks have still got it!“

“Not gonna lie. When I first stopped here I thought it was the little house in the front. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the building in the back. We had a delicious breakfast that was very fresh. Staff we very friendly and it's a cozy sport to sit and enjoy some food.“

“Atkins is a supermarket with seating next to the bakery. The deli has a big food selection and I tried a meatball and turkey reuben sandwich, a wedding meatball soup and a cider donut. It was pleasantly surprising to find international items, reminiscent of countries I've recently visited. The service for check out was quick, and it had a quiet ambiance. It didn't give a farm-like feel, except for the apple cider and soup offerings. The presence of a tourist map for exploration was appreciated. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I would definitely consider returning.“

“Bummed that pizza is gone. Best pizza I had, it was impossibly tasty. Wonder why they took it out, it obviously was a good seller...Hoping they change their mind, I'm sure it would make many people happy.Last few times I visited, I met a somewhat grumpy and somewhat rushed service.All that said they know dough.“

“The absolute perfect BLT - no notes. The bacon is crispy and thick. The sandwich has cheddar, avocado, the perfect smear of mayo, toasted bread, and thick tomato slice that is somehow still good off-season??? They have fancy sodas (poppi raspberry rose anyone) and chips (dill pickle flavor), multiple coolers full of other delicious treats, bake a great cream cheese brownie, and once on a FREEZING january day, an employee jumped my car’s dead battery. Excellent spot.“

“Great local market with delicious food. Was in town for a UMASS football game and called ahead to order assorted sandwiches for tailgating. Nikki was so attentive with the order, and even though she was going to be away the day I came to pick up the sandwiches, she made me feel confident that she was personally going to see to it that everything was perfect. And it was! The staff was super friendly when I arrived, everything was ready and prepared beautifully and conveniently - even got help out to my car with the trays. Very reasonably priced for the large assortment of sandwiches we chose - roast beef, turkey, chicken, veggie. Food quality and taste was excellent. Everyone loved them and some very grateful students took the few remaining leftovers we had back to their dorms after the game:) Gotta say the hometown flavor and service at Ciesluk's put me in a great mood - just what you hope to experience in a charming New England town on a fall weekend. Highly recommend!“

“We are very lucky to have Small Oven in our town. They have so much to offer. Gorgeous thoughtfully decorated cakes, delicious pastries, freshly baked breads, great coffee, as well as their breakfast and lunch options. Additionally, the staff is friendly and efficient. If you’ve never stopped in, please do. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Greggory and his staff are top-notch! It is hard to find a classic bakery with not only amazing cakes and pastries but amazing customer service. Greggory called me to double check the cake order which was appreciated. The young woman who worked the counter was kind and helpful. The cake was moist, the frosting fluffy and not too sweet. Everyone LOVED it! It was also tastefully decorated and reasonably priced. I have tried just about every bakery in the area and while the cakes were pretty, most cakes were dry. Greggory's Pastry Shop is our go to from now on. Thank you Greggory!“

“Stopped in for a quick salad to go on my way to a haircut. I got the buffalo chicken salad, which was way better than any buffalo chicken salad I have had in the past ten years. I wish I had gotten two so I could have one now! I also got an iced tea and a maple latte. The iced tea was unsweetened (how I like) and refreshing but that maple latte was something else. I felt like I teleported to Vermont with every sip. It tasted like pure maple candy. I wish I had asked how she made it but I was too busy drooling over their baked goods. While this was my first time, it certainly won't be my last and I will dream about that salad daily.“

“Went on a Saturday. Super busy. Drinks were quick but food took 45min after ordering. The food really was amazing and worth the wait. Lots of parking. They have 3 different spots for parking. Best to go if you have time to relax. Will try again on a weekday.“
