50 Best Bakeries near Melrose

“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.“

“The best buttercream frosting and most delicious cakes 😋 we get as many birthday cakes as we can from Sweet Spot! I call every year on my own birthday for a custom, big version of their “icicle”…and if you haven’t tried one, omg you need to! Friendly staff, yummy treats, beautifully decorated desserts…cannot be beat!!!“

“To paraphrase Han Solo, "What a wonderful smell I discovered!"“

“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!“

“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“

“We love the quiche at Colette's!“

“The bakery is super small but the bread and psti is AMAZING. You can sit outside but in the fall and winter it’s too cold. No indoor seating. The coffee shop is NEXT to the pastry shop. They’re two separate shops, but right next door to each other. Both have a line.“

“Exceptional English muffins and breakfast items! The best breakfast sandwich I’ve ver had and they have quite a variety. Everything made here is very quality and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. One of the best cappuccinos I’ve ever had as well. Highly recommend!“

“Sourdough olive👍👍👍 bread“

“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. 😂“

“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 :)“

“The best bakery I’ve tried yet! I was very excited to try Michette while in town this weekend, but was absolutely blown away by the pastries I tried. My partner and I tried several croissants, cookies, and buns. Every single one was fresh, flaky, buttery, and packed with unique flavor combinations I’ve never had before. We only waited about 5 minutes to order, but I would wait in the longest line to be able to have these pastries again. The service, taste, and quality are unbeatable. I’ll never stop talking about you Michette.“

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

“Over the past 4 months or so I have called with various questions, mostly having to do with your chicken pies. Every time I have called the person who answered my call was able to answer my questions quickly and politely. I appreciate the efficient service as that seems to be a rarity these days. Thank you so much.“

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

“Cranberry Pecan Roll is out of this world.“

“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!“

“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 🙏“

“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.“

“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 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!!“

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

“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!“

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

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

“Grilled cheeses!! So good!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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. 🍋🥥“

“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!!!“

“Holy smokes this place slaps. Cake was freaking delicious, not too sweet truly perfect. This cake will heal America, if Donald Trump ate this he would donate 4 billion dollars to Israel. But this cake make my wife very happy on her birthday which made me a lucky man that night... Thank cake house luv u.“

“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!“

“Love our local bakery!
This local bakery is such a gem to our little town. The staff here is friendly. Their bread and pastry is very tasty. We particularly enjoy their Mocha chocolate cake and their warm mushroom croissant.
Their food is made right in the store, which is a sure way to get it fresh!

Love this place and strongly recommend!!“

“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!“

“Best croissants and berliners in Massachusetts.“

“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“

“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!“

“My daughter’s wedding cake was absolutely delicious. From the communication to the finished product, it was a great experience and they certainly have earned our family’s business. Sometimes you attend a wedding and they are trying to send cake home with everyone, there was nothing left to send. The guests loved it and most importantly, so did the bride and groom. Couldn’t thank them more! Wonderful job!!“

“the have the best family owned business,thank you for not running out of eastie like every one else.“

“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“
