23 Best Bakeries near Northampton

“I give five stars one of best restaurants that has awesome donuts and the only one that got the street dogs that got cheese, hot dog and the out side of it you can get few things on them“

“The GF waffles were out of this world... soft and fluffy. I'm very sensitive to gluten cross- contamination, and it was reassuring to me that the staff person was knowledgeable and asked me if I had a gluten allergy and needed separate preparation for my order. They also are taking COVID precautions seriously. They are requiring proof of vaccination in order to dine in (this is clearly posted inside and outside of restaurant), and while at my table I overheard a staff person asking an unmasked person to put on a mask. Could not have had a more enjoyable experience... sad I don't live in the area!“

“Woodstar Caffe is an absolute pillar of Northampton’s culinary community and a local treasure we must cherish and support. Every single thing they craft is top-notch, and it has become a personal mission of mine to explore their entire menu because standard-setting quality lives in every corner of this beautiful space.

The offerings are exceptional across the board:

Sandwiches: Whether served hot or cold, every sandwich is generously crafted, packed with fresh, healthy, nutritious ingredients, and bursting with vibrant flavor. It is the ultimate wholesome treat to share with someone special or enjoy as a moment of self-care.

Bakery & Coffee: Their fresh pastries are out of this world—from light, flaky croissants to decadent cookies and rich brownies. Paired with a beautifully brewed drink (I am particularly fond of their Caffe Americano), it’s pure comfort.

While it reflects the higher quality of scratch-made food, every bite is worth every penny because you are investing in incredible care, premium ingredients, and true nourishment. Because it is such a beloved spot, the cafe is usually bustling with a steady, lively energy—transactions move at a fast, efficient pace, so just be ready for a quick and friendly counter interaction!

The entire team works with impressive dedication, doing a terrific job keeping the cafe impeccably clean and vibrant despite the constant stream of guests. You can feel the heart and hard work poured into every shift, which is why I love tipping generously whenever I visit.

Woodstar brings so much life, warmth, and vitality to Northampton—please make sure to visit and support this extraordinary local gem!“

“I went to Tart yesterday. The breakfast sandwiches and pasties sounded and looked SO good! I got a latte and chocolate croissant, both lovely. The woman who took my order was warm and friendly, as was the person who made my latte. I want to come back and try the maple tart and a breakfast sandwich soon!“

“second time there, and there will be a third, fourth, fifth cetera cetera...☕“

“Hands down, Carefree Cakery make the best cupcakes I’ve ever tasted! We have also ordered a couple of birthday cakes for our kiddos, and they too are spectacular. Not too heavy on frosting, and the cake is light and delicious. Our friends always comment on how delicious the cupcakes/cakes are. This week, we ordered a Wicked theme cake for our daughter’s 10th birthday party and it was so beautiful, I thought my kiddo was going to cry with joy when we picked it up!! We love you guys and we love your cakes ❤️🎂🧁❤️“

“I came there with my family. We ordered at the register. You have to get your table and then wait for your food and pick that up and bring it to your table. My sister ordered the pizza a white pie with onions and prosciutto . It was delicious. My sister and I shared a BLT that was loaded with bacon and a big slab a tomato. It was absolutely delicious,The bread was exceptional. My mother ordered a turkey BLT and experienced the same for her sandwich, my father ordered a turkey Reuben and enjoyed every bite. We all ordered hot coffee and enjoyed a good cup. Our family, highly recommends bread euphoria“

“I went to the Williams burg General Store for the first time on Sunday. I fell in love ❤️ Its neat and clean. Every one of the employees are so very nice. If you are looking for a little something for anyone in your life you will find it here. Of course my favorite part was the bakery. The bread and Danish I purchased were fresh, soft and tasty. Thank you so much for being amazing. ❤️“

“Thank you for the GORGEOUS cake!! Greggory kindly didn’t laugh at me for coming in half an hour before closing last night looking for a birthday treat. I was planning to just pick up some cupcakes or whatever he had left, but he was kind enough to make me a custom cake instead! It’s lemon cake with raspberry filling, and a gorgeous buttercream frosting. Sooooo delicious! And he went out of his way to make it beautiful, and still had it for next day. I’m so delighted with it. 😀 Highly recommend his shop for all your pastry needs! Also, definitely try the Russian tea cakes!“

“Our go to ladies lunch spot! Everything on the menu is delicious- you will never be disappointed! And they take care of me & my food allergies! Everyone is always super friendly & helpful! Our fave spot!“

“I ordered a cake for my co-worker’s retirement celebration. We had a limited budget & everyone was so happy with the cake. A half-sheet pan carrot cake, with luscious cream cheese frosting, beautifully decorated! It was enough for 20 people with leftovers. Highly recommend!“

“Vanilla latte. Or vanilla black tea“

“Anything if you like it or have a sweet tooth or massive sugar rush“

“I love you guys. That’s my review. Thanks for being the best. Just, fully all around - one of my absolute favorite places, people, coffee, snacks, and vibes since moving to the area.
Don’t change. ❤❤❤“

“Really not too bad if you do it right. Quick loading. Very tight but come in and pull all the way in and pull to the right side of the building at the back of the building, you can pull in enough to turn around. To turn around back into the small muddy area, see pics for the small muddy area to back, just enough to set yourself up for a regular back. Really the best way, wasn't bad, might be tough for someone new but take your time, its doable.. 🙂 the gentlemen I spoke with here today were all good and respectful. Make sure to pull in where it says shipping receiving, GPS may take you to the car entrance.“

“This place/workers are so fabulous!! Best coffee at umass hands down“

“This place is honestly the cutest. One of the baristas left candles at each of our table one time. The music is great. Everyone is kind and it's such a nice environment. I've only ever had the salmon bagel before but it was so good. I love their lattes, matcha, and I appreciate that they serve the macchiato with sparkling water because many places don't. It's also not very expensive, thankfully. This is my favorite place to go study.“

“A whole lot of yum!!! Makes a girl happy!!“

“Ordered food for an event of about 40 people Will was great to work with for ordering Excellent food Dessert platter is phenomenal Many many compliments on quality of food Highly recommend!!!“
