50 Best Bakeries near Needham

“DON'T MISS OUT!!! Currently a pop up but soon to open their own bakery in Wellesley! I can't wait for their extended offerings. The croissants are THE BEST I've even had! Muffins, cookies, pastries are all FANTASTIC! Definitely worth the wait on a VERY BUSY holiday!

Vegetarian options: Most pastries are vegetarian.“

“This was my first time at this bakery and it will not be my last!! I have a nut allergy and they were super accommodating making my sandwich! It was delicious! Thank you!!“

“Excellent customer service and customization of my orders. what a perfectly unique way to send a message to your loved ones. Who doesn't LOVE cookies? Thank you!“

“Cannot recommend enough! Went in with a very specific request on a very short timeline and they over-delivered. Now, I don’t recommend being a pain like me and asking for them for things on short notice, but this situation really helped me understand more about their business and how they treat their customers. I am a new loyal customer and would encourage you to give them a try the next time you need cupcakes or cake pops.“

“I was visiting Boston and saw this cute little food truck and we decided to stop. The food was great but the service was what stuck with me! I couldn’t decide which cookie I wanted so this guy surprised me with both :) so nice and so yummy“

“The decorative work on these pastries is 5 star. I tried the gluten free hazelnut chocolate cookie and did not like it. It was overwhelmingly cinnamon-y and the texture was like an oatmeal bar rather than a soft cookie. I also didn’t enjoy the vegan oat bar, which tasted overwhelmingly of coconut oil.

I DID enjoy the rooibos tea, which was a French tea brand I had never heard of: mariage freres.

It was a lovely subtle flavor, and the tea bags looked unbleached (though I did not verify that).

I would love to come back and try some of the not vegan or gluten free items, as my bakery impression was that things look amazing but have one controlling taste, but I know there was far more here than I tried.

Wheelchair accessibility: Two doors that do require a bit of force but all flat.“

“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!“

“Very small place that can't Accommodate more than two customers at a time. Tough on customers during snow/rains with zero provisions for shelter outside.
The pastries are a saving grace, by the way. Nothing distinguishing about their sourdough and other bread varieties though good (slightly expensive). Their flour-free chocolate cake takes the cake for innovation and taste.
If only they would make an effort to combine the coffee shop next door (also owned/leased by clearflour mgmt.) they could customer convenience that bit more amenable.“

“Weesh and owner Elyse are treasures! The tarts are a delight (brown sugar is my fave), and her cakes are seriously amazing. Best chocolate cake I've ever had. Perfect cake to frosting ratio. So beautiful (and no fondant, yay)!“

“Slice of greek! We had a couple pastries with a mastha latte. Sweet and flavorful. The pastries were a highlight. Beautifully made, filling and served warm out of their hot holding display. Shelves of cookies and a display full of small fancy cakes.“

“My coworker drives from the North Shore for these croissants and I’m glad I finally tried them. I think the almond croissant and regular croissant are very good. The apple turnover was okay. I’m sure the canele is good too, but I think mine was very slightly underbaked. Will definitely come back.“

“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!“

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

“Not lying—after the first bite, I knew this was not only the best cheesecake I've ever had but also the best sweet treat I've ever tasted. I'm so happy I found this place and can't wait to try other flavors! Thank you, Korean Momma!“

“Cranberry Pecan Roll is out of this world.“

“We love the quiche at Colette's!“

“Great place with nice drinks hard to find in Waltham and amazing desserts/snacks“

“Delicious (pieces of) pizza and foccacia, very tasty! I took a 'small slice' and that was more than enough for lunch for me.
And bread, rolls and Italian products for sale. Couple of places to eat locally. Very sweet service.
Had a delicious lunch!“

“Amazing experience highly recommend I will only be using Donna’s cakes from now on!! Delicious and beautiful work Thankyou so much For making our day so special!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great place for a coffee and a nut-free snack. They sell cakes and cupcakes as lavender bee baking. The best time to go is mornings on the weekends when you can get a fresh cinnamon roll and a breakfast sandwich on a fresh biscuit. Year round, the best snack is the crumb bar. The owner, Kelsey, cultivates a sense of community in the business she's built. This is a family-friendly establishment, wheelchair accessible, it has vegetarian, gluten-free, and vegan options.

Vegetarian options: Most options are vegetarian except for the breakfast sandwiches

Dietary restrictions: This place is all nut-free, there are options for vegan and gluten free folks.

Kid-friendliness: The owner is very welcoming of kids.

“Staff were great at suggesting baked goods. We tried the egg deli roll, honey toast and the seasonal snowman. This was my first time here and I would definitely go out of my way to stop back in. The friendly service really makes me wish I could give this more than five stars.“

“Just walked in during my amazon shift to deliver packages. The nice lady as I was leaving gave me two free cookies on the house. I had requested their ghost cookie , and then i changed my mind and asked for the bat but she instead gave me both! Great service and Great “

“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“

“I had a bagel and lox and tried all the babkas! It was all super fresh and delicious! I recommend this place 1000%“

“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“

“MY FAVORITE BAKERY!! I drive from Carver to buy the scones and cookies.“

“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!“

“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.“

“This place is exceptional! I love the variety of delicious options, many of which I have never seen anywhere else. The staff is delightful, especially Grace! She always has a smile on her face.“

“Amazing Key Lime Pie. I grew up in Florida and this pie has everything I look for. Just enough tartness to provide a smile and puckered lips without being overpowering, but best of all a full tangible creamy filling. Most Key Lime pies fall short with a light wimpy filling that makes the pie feel like all whip cream. This filling is super smooth, creamy, and tart and the whip cream topper has so much yummy vanilla in it. Surround it in a deep crumbly crust.. and Bravo! I could eat the whole thing!“

“Morning Buns and great coffee!!!“

“Such a gem in the neighborhood! Whenever I’m in Arlington I make sure to come to Quebrada. They have great coffee in generous sizes, excellent breakfast options (ham and cheese croissants, breakfast sandwiches), and yummy baked goods. They had the cutest sugar-decorated shortbread cookies this week! The space itself is pretty small, not a lot of seating, but some nice window spots if you can get them. The staff are so friendly and helpful!“

“**Highly Recommend!!** Overdue "Thank You" to The Icing On The Cake @tiotcma for our absolutely beautiful and unbelievably delicious wedding cake!! It was such a pleasure working with you. Thank you!! (Condakes Wedding, BBCC, 11/20/21).“

“I had an excellent experience ordering cupcakes from Liza for a birthday celebration. The customization process was remarkably straightforward, with Liza providing prompt responses to all inquiries. The pickup was also seamless. The final product was outstanding—the chocolate cake was exceptionally delicious, complemented perfectly by the delightful Oreo frosting. Overall, I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere all at 5 stars.“

“The waffle was just ok. I think the toppings and their pairing werent just to my liking. The oreos were overly sweet and the raspberries were a bit old and did not add any tartness to the dessert. The service was a little slow as there were only two people managing the whole operation and they were making everything to order.“

“Had a delicious breakfast scone and iced coffee here while waiting for another contractor to finish work. Nice atmosphere clean facilities and friendly staff. The patrons are something else.

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of wheelchair access“

Thank you Bernadette & Guarino’s for your delicious desserts and your hospitality! I’m sure I’ll see you again soon! Lol.“
