50 Best Bakeries near Jamaica Plain

“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.“

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

“I love this little bakery SO much. Easily one of the coolest places in Boston. And their croissants/tarts/pies/BREADPUDDINGS are my downfall... and I mean that in the best way possible.“

“New favorite no frills breakfast place in JP with healthy options but also bacon“

“Whoever bakes their scones has a gift!“

“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!“

“Something is SERIOUSLY wrong!!! 4.8 stars for Mike & Patty’s is a damn tragedy. Who do I need to speak to about this? 😂 10/10

I didn’t even know there was a category for World’s Best Breakfast Sandwich… apparently Mike & Patty’s created it.

First up: The Fancy. That perfectly runny little yolk made me stop what I was doing and PUT DOWN MY PHONE. I know… in this day and age, that’s basically a spiritual experience.

I ate the entire sandwich and then did the only responsible thing: ordered another one. Purely for quality control. I’m basically a food scientist. 😂

Just when I thought I’d reached peak breakfast, along comes the Bfast Grilled Crack. Now I’m sitting there geekin’ out over what can only be described as fresh, delicious breakfast art.

These guys dropped the mic, pulled out all the stops, put their best foot forward… hell, insert every cliché here because they earned all of them.

Damn, this place is LEGIT.

My bathroom scale and I will be discussing this decision privately. 😂“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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!“

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

“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“

“So yummy!! Really enjoyed our lunch“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“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. 🍋🥥“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“My friend and I came for the dubai chewy cookie but instead got more than we anticipated because of the vast amount of desserts that they served and we were not disappointed.

Definitely recommended everything that is shown in the picture and we will come back for more!“

“We ordered a vegan half sheet almond cake from Luna’s—it was TERRIFIC. It joined several other cakes at a family gathering, and everyone loved it.

I found it easy to communicate with the bakery manager, and that she had some terrific ideas for flavors. I would absolutely order from them again. Pickup was super easy, too!“

“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!“

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

“This is my third time going here and I'll tell you people it just gets better every time! I usually go there and get the tuna fish sandwich and the egg salad sandwich but today they didn't have the tuna fish so they made me a fresh egg salad sandwich. What a way to go. the beautiful lady that made my sandwich came from the back and gave me a beautiful smile and told me the days of her operation and for me to make a phone call before I come so they can have everything waiting for me. Maybe an African-American man that made me very happy and I felt like I was home! Sometimes when you go into places like this and they see a big black man, you usually don't get that great service or they don't talk to you like you're definitely a customer, you usually get that okay what the heck do you want type talk, lol. But way to go I'll definitely be back hugs and love to you guys text Nation point“

“Cranberry Pecan Roll is out of this world.“

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

“Got a loaf of the Sunflower Multigrain a few weeks ago and this is hands down the best bread I've ever had.“

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

“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.“

“The best zeppole you’ll find around. Great neighborhood bakery!“

“Stopped in on a whim and was blown away. The cupcakes were soft, flavorful, and beautifully decorated. The most moist cupcake I have ever had in my Life The red velvet was the best I’ve ever had. The strawberry cheesecake was insanely delicious Courtney was one of the most polite amazing workers I’ve come across —made the whole experience even better“

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

“One of my favorite spots to get a sandwich around town. Big portions, friendly service. The owners are super nice and remember their customers by name.“

“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.“

“We contacted them for our Baby Shower cupcakes. They were beautifully decorated and exquisite! People at the party loved them. We definitely recommend this place. I can’t wait to order more options from here. Thank you Dessert Works for been part of our memories and for making a wonderful experience!! -Ida“

“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!“

“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!“
