15 Best Bakeries in Newton

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Lovely staff and delicious baked goods!“

“The best zeppole you’ll find around. Great neighborhood bakery!“

“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.“

“Absolutely wonderful neighborhood bakery! The owner helped me and my husband create such a special gender reveal by secretly wrapping up 2 pink cookies for us to open at home. He was so thoughtful and shared in our excitement. Not to mention, the cookies (and muffins) are SO delicious“

“Blown away by our cake! In one email Andrea completely captured my husband’s vibe and sent me a sketch with an idea that was far better than I imagined. The end product literally stole the show! The cake was also delicious - moist and flavorful. If you want a masterpiece that reflects the personality of the person or event you are celebrating, text, call or email Andrea NOW. She is amazing.“

“I do not shop at Whole Foods with none near where I live. I felt like a foreigner. Almost no brands were familiar to me. Great customer service. Very clean and alluring. Ample parking. Pickup station. Fresh flowers. Indoor eating area. Impressive food bars. The model is organic and uber-healthy foods. Everthing a grocery shopper would want except the high prices for everything.

The firm, fresh grapes we bought were soft within a day. My daughter, who shops here exclusively, reports that its fresh produce often spoils quickly, even with refrigeration.

I asked about the renovations in progress after hearing regular customers on two trips express frustration that they could not find the items they sought. I was told a new freezer aisle would be installed. I was also given inside information that Whold Foods routinely reorganizes their aisles for at least two reasons: to move goods of paying companies to prominent locations and to rearrange high-volume items to force regular shoppers to search the aisles with the intent that they will find new items of interest.“

“I had a graduation party for my son from college and it was at a restaurant and Blackers bakery and this kitchen delivered the desserts and food I couldn’t ask for anything more perfect it was delicious beautiful presentation on time it was perfect The quality was excellent, and most of my guests have not been here and they were shocked and how good everything was it was perfect“

“I am Asian American and have been eating mochi my entire life. Crystal's Bakery has forever changed how I think and feel about Mochi. Crystal's Mochi is like a heavenly cloud of fruit and cream that melts in your mouth. Gorgeous, silky soft texture unlike anything. It's not too sweet but addicting. Store-bought, rubbery chewy mochi has been downgraded to gummi status after eating Crystal's handmade mochi.
I also had mochi doughnuts, mung bean smoothie and plain sticky rice. Perfect Asian flavors that remind me of the homeland. Everything excellent!
It's a tiny shop and the place was jam packed with lines during our entire visit, for good reason.
I drove over an hour to get to Crystal's Bakery. It was no sacrifice. It is absolutely worth it. I will be making the trip again and many times more.“

“Ordered a hot shaved pastrami with Swiss cheese on a lightly toasted with butter everything bagel. Sooo good!!! Made fresh. The girl working the counter was super patient as I figured out what I wanted. Will go back again. Framingham location.“

“Great services and a lot of selection. But the price of cakes were far higher than the same style in Orange County, CA. Probably because the headquarters of the bakery is in Great LA so that the local price is better. The location of the store is in the center part of Newton so that the you can grab some bread or cakes after you visit other restaurants or stores.“

“I order about 4x/wk from Tatte. I love it BUT lately: A salmon sandwich was drowning in sauce, having to scrape it off and dispose of bread; a Turkey Blat had so much mayo I could not taste the turkey, and an egg order was made wrong.“
