50 Best Bakeries near Newton Centre

“Everything was wonderful, the staff was excellent. They seemed very happy. The coffee had a special feel, perhaps because it's Colombian coffee. The cakes were delicious. They were delicious and had a generous portion. I will definitely return.“

“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 😋😋😋“

“Thanks to google maps, this sparked our curiosity. Highly recommend. Wonderful selection of fresh made breads and pastry eats. We ordered quite a bit since we wanted to try as much as we can. Our stay was short but we'll be here again if we're in Boston.“

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

“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!!“

“It's 28 September 2025 at 0830. The place was super clean, comfortable, and we were treated by an amazing staff. This woman crushed it. I have not been this impressed by service in a long time. I would recommend this shop to anyone simply based off the quality of service provided by the employee.by the way the food and drinks were excellent“

“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. 🍋🥥“

“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!“

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

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

“I come here once a week w/ my roommate. We are obsessed. On the edge of my seat waiting to learn about the new jam and muffin of the month. I’ve got my mom who lives out of state ordering muffins monthly. People are tired of hearing me talk about how great this place is!“

“We love the quiche at Colette's!“

“Food was good. However, I didn’t blow me away. The pupusas I was looking forward to, but mine was not cooked all the way through so it wasn’t that pleasant. I’m sure it would’ve been delicious if it had been cooked properly. Definitely do not go to dine in. There are a few Chairs next to the window and that’s it. It’s pretty much a takeout place. I would try it again, but probably not anytime soon.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Best bagels in Boston .The onion are worth trip every time. Also tried everything bagel was also delicious. I recommend them to everyone even if they didn't ask lol 😁“

“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)!“

“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!“

“Hearth & Hug is a MUST anytime I’m in the city. The entire team is small but mighty and incredibly helpful and nice! Every pastry and bread is simply heavenly. 100/10 must go!!!! The freshness in every item is next to none and you can tell each item is made with the love like no other.“

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

“So yummy!! Really enjoyed our lunch“

“Absolutely fantastic, ,super fresh and yummy,“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Great smoothies that you can customize“

“Go old school…. Get off Hanover, go up Salem, around the corner on Prince and you’ll find the real deal bakery. Incredible breads, pizza, pastries in a tiny little place that cranks out so much. No frills, just what you’d want from a real bakery.“

“Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pastries: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Price: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Colette Bakery in Melrose has some of the best pastries around! I’m a sucker for chocolate croissants, and the Cho-colette croissant at Colette is so delicious (pro tip, take the croissant home and toss in the air fryer to warm the pastry!)

Staff at Colette in Melrose are always so friendly. Love stopping in for our weekend pastry needs every chance we get!“

“I was not prepared for how good a popover sandwich would be. Even at closing time, the food was extremely fresh and delicious! I need to come back and try more things on the menu.“

“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.“

“Overall great food in a nice atmosphere. Busy brunch service with single line for pastries and eat in brunch orders. Cold brew was good but loaded with ice, wife's ginger summer drink was really good with a lot less ice. Lamb hash was full of flavor, but nothing exciting for brunch level with ground meat as the hash instead of pulled or shredded. Wife's muesli was delicious with fresh fruit. Counters and tables did not seem to be cleaned between patrons and we had to skip a few seats to find one clean to eat at. The brioche toast was delicious and we wish we could have grabbed some more pastries, but it would have been another 30 minutes in line.“

“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.“

“Best bakery and cafe around!“

“Omg that was amazing taste on everything.. Highly recommended to try the chives scone 👌👌“

“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!“

“Cranberry Pecan Roll is out of this world.“

“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“

“I highly recommend this small business bakery! Miss Wanda recently made a firetruck-themed birthday cake and cupcakes for our son's 3rd birthday party and they were a hit! Plus their everyday pastries are delicious - I buy some for my coworkers all the time and they love them!“

“I am so grateful that a place like this exists. As someone with a severe peanut allergy I can never have baked goods. I also have a severe allergy to peas and pea protein which can be a common pairing of allergies. I did find that there are vegan pastries in the same case that are made with butter that contains pea protein so I didn’t feel 100% safe eating the baked goods. If they were to be more separate or the vegan baked goods didn’t contain peas, I would be here every single weekend. The staff was SO nice and went over the top to ensure I knew ingredients. Highly recommend but with caution if you have a legume / pea allergy like me!“

“By far one of the best cakes I've had.

Fresh or canned fruit are delicious options they have. It's an angel food cake with a airy light frosting not too sweet. The fruit itself is the sweetness.

They are very kind and kept my order in the fridge until my Lyft came.“

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

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

“The staff here are amazing. They know my name and order. They even have the “Hank Special” which is my half hot chocolate and half coffee topped with whipped cream. Love you guys.“

“We worked with Heather at Top Shelf Cookies for our wedding welcome bags, and the process could not have been easier! She helped us create beautiful custom cookies and even printed a custom label for the bags, which made them extra special. All of our guests absolutely loved the cookies, and Heather was a joy to work with, professional, creative, and so accommodating. Highly recommend Top Shelf Cookies for any special occasion!“

“Thank you so much for delivering produce during the pandemic! You guys rock.“

“Wow! Went in on a whim and was absolutely blown away by how good the pie here was! All their treats look great, but I personally loved the peach blueberry pie, something I never tried before and was absolutely perfect!

You won’t regret coming into this small neighborhood shop for anything, don’t miss out!“
