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.“

“Cupcakes!! These are amazing and the prettiest cupcakes ever! Huge hit in the office. Exceeded expectations!“

“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.“

“I called and asked about same-day cake pickup, and the staff was wonderfully helpful, walking me through the options and offering size recommendation. I decided on the strawberry cake, and it was an absolute triumph! It was light and fluffy—perfectly balanced and not that sweet. An instant favorite!“

“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!“

“amazing pastries and amazing staff“

“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 went here because is was apparently ranked one of the top 20 bakeries in the US. It is on par with other local bakeries and I'm not sure why this one ranked any higher since we got at least 5 pasties to sample plus the baguette and everything was fine but not out of this world. I actually prefer the pasties at Salt. It's also incredibly cramped inside so just be prepared to grab and go.“

“We ordered breakfast sandwiches as take-out before hitting the road to head home to NJ. What a wonderful surprise! We expected basic egg and cheese sandwiches. These were so much better! They were absolutely delicious, as was the hash brown. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Boston.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“THANK YOU for offering vegetarian sandwich options that are unique and tasty! The coronation chickpea sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in my LIFE. Also pictured: “all gussied up” sando, rhubarb soda, and malt vanilla frappe. All wonderful.

I’ll definitely be back!“

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

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

“Cranberry Pecan Roll is out of this world.“

“Absolutely loved this cafe. It's new and has a great clean ambience.
They do have a variety of specialty drinks - I will try this in my next visit, this visit I had an early grey tea which was served in a pot with loose leaf tea. Definitely an upgrade from the regular cafes with tea bags.
Their Colombian cheese bread was good, can't wait to try other things on their menu.
Highly recommend.“

“Cute little bakery. Friendly service. I always stop here when I'm in the area to get goodies that aren't common in traditional bakeries. My favorites are the Pandan Coconut Cake roll, the Strawberry Cake roll, and the Corn & Cheese Roll. Because it is a small place, it can get super crowded with a queue out the door. Best to go between peak meal times.“

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

“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.“

“Best bakery and cafe around!“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“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 🙏“

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

“Best cake around. Paula and her team did an amazing job on our Disney themed wedding cake including adding a little special theme for our black lab. We will definitely order cakes again!!!“

“Best croissants and berliners in Massachusetts.“

“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 !“

“Sevan Bakery is amazing! Fresh, healthy, and unique prepared meals that are always top quality. Nuran, the owner, is incredibly kind and welcoming. This isn’t just a bakery, it’s a little community hub that’s been part of the neighborhood for years. Highly recommend!“

“Every year I host a tennis charity event Serve For a Cure in support of the Jimmy fund and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. I reached out to Nothing Bundt Cakes, via email thinking they wouldn’t answer me. I got an phone call saying they would like to donate cakes to my event. When I was told how many, I was flabbergasted. They were so generous and very easy to work with. The day of my event a friend of mine picked up the personal cakes, and we gave them out to the tennis players. I some how got 4 of them. They were delicious! I would highly recommend Nothing Bundt Cakes for your next occasion or even just a sweet treat.“

“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.“

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

“Grilled cheeses!! So good!“

“Because other bakeries required advance reservations, I ended up finding this shop at the last minute and was able to place an order by phone. It turned out to be a 1000% pleasant surprise—honestly, This might be my favorite bakery shop in Boston right now.

I placed the order in the afternoon and picked it up the same night (they did say some cakes are better to pre-order though). We got the strawberry chocolate one, and it was insanely good. Not too sweet at all, the chocolate cake layers were exactly my type, and the chocolate filling was just perfect—not heavy.

Honestly can’t think of another place that beats this right now. Pretty sure this is gonna be my must-go spot from now on. Already told a bunch of friends—next birthdays, we’re all coming back here.“

“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.“

“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!“
