50 Best Bakeries near Lexington

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

“The best cake I have ever had! Susan will make you anything you dream of! It tastes just as good as it looks! My Baby shower cake was the most talked about at the party! If your looking for a cake for any occasion whether big or small Please give her a call you will not be disappointed! She exceeds expectations for every occasion! Birthday, Weddings, Graduation, Showers, even dessert cakes or cupcakes. Cake is the answer!“

“Had a blueberry scone, cranberry muffin, and grabbed a garlic cheddar bread loaf. The muffin was old and dry, the scone was pretty good, but the loaf was incredible. It went amazingly with eggs and grilled cheeses. It was calorically heavy and still might have been the fastest my health-conscious household has gone through a load of bread in ages. I'm excited to try their other artisan loafs and see if they can redeem the last muffin.“

“We bought special moon cakes, sliced cakes (cheese cake, chocolate mouse, green tea red bean...) ordered birthday cakes. Their cakes and pastries taste heavenly. Especially if you are from Asia, and don't like the super-sweet American bakeries, this is the best you can find in Greater Boston! The owners are super nice. And they work to perfection, everything looks beautiful and are delicious. They take great pride in their product too, and have a lot of loyal customers. They only open for limited hours, and I wish that they open for more time. But that's probably what makes the cakes and pastries special because they must have invested a lot of efforts into making them.“

“amazing pastries and amazing staff“

“Dana helped us plan our girls baptism and got every detail perfect and the food was incredible. She went above and beyond to make the day special for us and we could not be more grateful. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using for our future events!“

“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!“

Authentic French baking , great friendly staff who listened attentively my order and their coffee and baked goods are amazing .
Highly recommend if you’re nearby or want a real deal place 😋😋😋“

“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.“

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

“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 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. 🍋🥥“

“This place is the best! They import the flour from France and I can eat every single thing I want. The lavender flavor they use is amazing and my slow day go to. So yummy. Also the ham and cheese croissant is tops. I bring the croissants to people who I really like.“

“We went for the first time today and were not disappointed! We had the brioche roll, baguette and a croissant and they were all PERFECT. Soft, buttery and delicious. The owner was so kind and friendly too! My fiancé and I will be going every Sunday as a new tradition now!“

“First time at the bakery. It has a small area for seating, seems geared to take out. We ate inside, team members were pleasant and helpful. You place and pick up your order at the counter.
Small selections, but everything we had was delicious. The breakfast sandwiches we had were a bit on the spicy hot 🌶 side, but ok 👍 for us.
Great place for quick ☕️ and breakfast or bakery item.
They had great music 🎶..in the background.“

“The bundt cakes are Delish. Customer service goes above and beyond! Would recommend 5 stars !“

“I brought my mom there today. I got the salted chocolate chip cookie and my mom got a slice of their apple cake. My mom called me a few hours later and the first thing she said was “that cake was awesome!” and I shared with her that my cookie was good too. 10/10 would recommend.“

“We love the quiche at Colette's!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Turned a get together into a happening. Everything was delicious. Chicken salad was yummy salad and desserts amazing. Prices were reasonable.“

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

“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.“

“Got the Melon Pan, Chocolate Croissant, Iced Matcha Latte, and Iced Latte.
The melon pan was really good and I enjoyed the sweet crust. I just wish the inside was a bit more “cloudy”/fluffy (less doughy) like traditional melon pans. The Chocolate Croissant was amazing. Really liked the chocolate filling and the flakiness of the croissant.
The matcha latte was pretty good, but a bit too sweet. The coffee in the iced latte was a bit too acidic for my taste. All their baked goods are pretty cheap tho!“

“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!!“

“Very nice bakery - friendly staff.

We ordered a cake a few years ago for a gender reveal party that worked out really well.

Recently we wanted to do the same thing to announce our second child, so we ordered a small batch of cupcakes with a blue/pink center to do the gender reveal. Except this time they forgot to add the filling! We called up the bakery and within an hour they had quickly put together some replacement cupcakes. Mistakes happen - but their team really worked hard to help us out and save the day.“

“The desserts are amazing we got there too late and missed the mochi donuts. But we got this other mochi dessert with cream and custard filling. It was so so good, and even better the next day. One has a match cream and another a custard filling. We will definitely be back to try their other stuff.“

“The cookies are always fresh and tasty and made of the best ingredients. We live in Boxborough, MA and drive all the way there. Got lucky and my day off they were open. Thanks for making it always worth it.☺️😋The Alda Family“

“Cranberry Pecan Roll is out of this world.“

“The cakes and pastries are always fresh. I’ve been going since I was a little girl, and now I bring my own kids there for treats. I pray they stick around for a long time.“

“I buy their wonderful breads and scones every Wednesday at the Wayland Farmers Market. I look forward to visiting their actual store this fall. The Dakota, cinnamon and white breads are the best.“

“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. Phyllis O'Leary“

“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!“

“Hosted a graduation party for my son. We used the catering service for the food. It was easy peasy to order , the food was delicious it was delivered on time and set up for us. The 40 people who attended left stuffed with the food and the great cake. I highly recommend that if you need catering, want great food and service this is the place to use“

“Friends brought croissants from Le Petit Four. Arguably the best croissants ever enjoyed. Perfect combination of melt-in your mouth, butter flavor, flakiness and doneness. Remarquable !“

“Best croissants! Fairly regular customer and have catered a few times. Always a hit.“

“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“

“Excellence in baking and customer service! Must try everything!“

“Absolutely delicious! The cake was a huge hit, everyone raved about it. It was moist, flavorful, and beautifully decorated. Several guests went back for seconds!!! A perfect birthday treat!“

“I love When Pigs Fly bread! My favs are the Oat and Honey, 6 Grain and Pumpkin Seed, and basically any of the sweet breads! The English Muffin loaf is good too.

The staff are all super kind and helpful. I saw some negative reviews on here that find fault with the service, and to them I say: hello? Are you okay? If you can’t get through a bread order (which should be a simple, short interaction I’d say??) without beefing with a staff member, I invite you to consider that *you* might be the problem. :)“

“Absolutely fantastic, ,super fresh and yummy,“

“Best bakery and cafe around!“

“Best croissants and berliners in Massachusetts.“

“Country Desserts Bake Shop on Lexington Street in Newton is a true hidden gem for anyone craving fresh, homemade-style baked goods. Two years ago, Igor Quintero, who had been working with Nancy, the prior owner, bought the bakery. He kept Nancy's wonderful offerings while adding many of his own. Walking through its doors, you're met with beautifully stocked cases brimming with an irresistible selection of treats, each one crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients and free from preservatives--just like homemade desserts should be.

With so many delicious options, it's hard to know where to start. Their chocolate chip, oatmeal, and Italian wedding cookies, available in three flavors, are simply fantastic. The turnovers are exceptional, featuring perfectly flaky crusts filled with delectable fruit fillings, including adorable miniature raspberry versions. Their selection of pies is just as impressive, with highlights like their tangy key lime pie and irresistible lemon squares for citrus lovers.

Muffins here are moist and flavorful, but if you have a favorite variety, you'll want to call ahead or arrive early, as they tend to sell out fast. Each holiday brings special seasonal treats, and placing an order ensures you won't miss out. Today, I spotted Easter bread made the old-fashioned way, sparking nostalgia in my friend, who fondly recalled the way his mother used to bake it during his childhood.

Whether you're indulging in a personal treat or ordering a custom cake for a special occasion, Country Desserts Bake Shop's dedication to quality and deliciousness shines through. The only small downside is their limited hours--they're open until 2 PM during the week, 1 PM on Saturdays, and closed on Sundays. However, early birds can rejoice, as doors open at 6:30 AM.

If you're in the area, this bake shop is an absolute must-visit.“

“Love this place and the great food. This place has been in our family for a couple of generations. Keep up the great food!!“

“Lovely staff and delicious baked goods!“

“First time having a MOCHI DONUT. Flippin’ awesome, and couldn’t recommend them enough if you’re a pastry lover.“

“I was searching Google for a custom pull apart cupcake cake and found Frostin in Boston. Liza was quick to respond to my email and right away we found the perfect design for my daughter’s birthday. She offered pick up in Medford and also delivery to your house! If you have allergies she offers, gluten-free, vegan and nut-free cakes!“
