50 Best Bakeries near Reading

“Best croissants and berliners in Massachusetts.“

“A friend brought one over to us today! It was the perfect dinner for a chilly Saturday night! So yummy!“

“Always delicious! Love seeing them at all town events too.“

“Got some milk and cookies - the red and white straw is a nice detail. Cookies were filling and tasted good - not too hard or soft. But the most impressive thing was the location, the entire time I was there there was a continuous water show, and at one point there was a finale. The rest of the place is also very nicely decorated. Cool find!“

“I grew up in NY and have been looking for authentic tasting bagels. Bagel World is it! Best bagels I''ve had in Massachusetts“

“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!“

“What a treat to find this little French bakery in Somerville! The cardamom bun this morning was crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside with just a bit of caramelisation at the bottom and really nice amount of cardamom - which can often be lacking in cardamom buns. The pain au chocolat was still warm and the chocolate was soft. The entire thing melted in my mouth. I also enjoyed the coffee! Not an every day place for those that need to be careful of their pastry/bread/butter intake, but a treat for sure!“

“We love the quiche at Colette's!“

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

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

“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. 🍋🥥“

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

“Cranberry Pecan Roll is out of this world.“

“Excellent service and the cookies are amazing. Convenient opening at 8am so I was able to pick up before work.“

“This small little bake shop in Andover is awesome! Don't let the size of it fool you, they are turning out some of the best cakes, cookies, cupcakes, and other sweet treats around. My wife and I recently ordered our wedding cake from Andover Bake Shop and it came out better than we could have ever expected. It was fantastic. I highly recommend this place! Special shoutout to Mackenzie who works there, too! She's awesome! Thank you Andover Bake Shop!“

“Everything you buy here will be absolutely fantastic.

I personally find the atmosphere a bit cold and bright and it could be cozier (although my wife wouldn't change it). Also, they quickly run out of stuff so you may not always get what you hoped for.“

“Hosted a graduation party for my son. We used the catering service for the food. It was easy peasy to order , the food was delicious it was delivered on time and set up for us. The 40 people who attended left stuffed with the food and the great cake. I highly recommend that if you need catering, want great food and service this is the place to use“

“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“

“Candice fit me in last minute, took my ideas and went with it! The cookies came out amazing and I couldn’t be more thankful for her fitting me in! (Fire academy graduation cookies)“

“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!!!“

“Great coffee, great pastries, popular local spot that's definitely worth the visit. Every pastry I've tried has been delicious and the coffee has a unique soft flavor.

Only wish the location was a bit bigger. It can get really crowded and there's not a lot seating.“

“Best bakery and cafe around!“

“Grilled cheeses!! So good!“

“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!!“

“Cupcakes!! These are amazing and the prettiest cupcakes ever! Huge hit in the office. Exceeded expectations!“

“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!“

“Excellence in baking and customer service! Must try everything!“

“The donuts are tasty, but I was hoping for a wider variety. The service was quick, which is great when you're in a rush, but I wish they had more unique flavors to choose from. Still worth a stop if you're craving something sweet!“

“I really love the breakfast egg sandwich. It is made to order and has the pillow iest puff bread wrapped along this light egg patty with fantastic sauce on both ends. I thought the matcha latte I ordered was quite a bit chalky textured and not as tasty as the sandwich. I also appreciate the business does not expect tips but built a 12% service charge into the menu for its staff.“

“Great smoothies that you can customize“

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

“This is hands down the best Italian deli I’ve ever been to! The chicken cutlets were to DIE for. The two subs were absolutely amazing. Customer service was top notch. I live 40 minutes away and will be making this a monthly stop for sure. The premade meals section was drool worthy! And the BREAD…. I could have ate three loafs alone. I never make reviews really but this place deserves it!!!!! Don’t walk…. RUN!“

“Petsi Pies in Somerville is a gem loved by people all over Boston. Their pecan pie is simply the best—perfectly sweet, with a great crust. If you’re looking for a classic pie done right, this is the place to go. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to add a little extra to their Thanksgiving table or for birthday pie lovers!“

“10/10 customer service! They made a minor mistake with my last order but were quick to fix it!
Super friendly & helpful!
This is my favorite location in the Boston area! And their cookies are always perfect!!! 💓☺️“

“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!“

“I needed to pick up a last minute breakfast for executives. As I was driving through Woburn Center, I saw the lights were on at the bakery. V was incredibly helpful and put together a nice breakfast for our executives. It is clean inside and they have a great variety.“

“Picked up some excellent (very reasonably priced) Portuguese bread loaf earlier today.

Will drop by for some additional breads to take away tomorrow too.

Good service!

Curiously, was told not to take pictures inside the store, even when I mentioned that I will pit up a Google review - of their excellent breads. My son in law, who had accompanied me shared a couple he had taken inside the establishment

Obrigada!! For the excellent breads.“

“Today I stop by this place for my first time and I’m already loving it. The 🍞 is out of this world!!!“

“i recommend the Arepas de Chocolo“

“This is probably my favorite place in Somerville. The staff is always incredibly nice. The food is always freshly prepared and tastes amazing. Strawberry jam bars, blueberry scones, apple cider muffins, AND MOLASSES COOKIES (when available) are great. Can't go wrong with an egg, cheese & sausage pepper biscuit.“

“Wow! I had Arlington Bakery send Tsoureki and cookies to Texas . They got there quickly and in one piece the recipient could stop raving about the products . I want to thank you for sending this special Easter treat .“

“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!“

“Always a nice place to have a really good breakfast and just relax and chat . I a have always liked how Hansi & staff,takes great care to make you all feel welcomed. He and all workers so hard to please you and I love Lox and Eggs and not many places make that any more . Lunch is always excellent and fresh. I love it and love it that it is local great service always . Thank you ,you must try it really Good“

“Have you ever been having a really bad day and someone does something nice unexpectedly and suddenly you want to cry? Anyways the women here are fantastic and deserve raises“

“Colarusso’s has become by go-to bakery. When my family realized I stopped there for Easter treats, I was immediately asked if I brought the chocolate cream pie again (of course!). While waiting, I grabbed some pizzelle & a big milk chocolate egg that we always had when I was a kid at Grandma’s house on Easter. Seeing a sign for struffoli, I had to grab some. My grandmother may turn over in her grave for this, but OMG! They were amazing! And so much better than grandma made (sorry Grammy 😇). They were so light and airy, & were perfection. I’ve never had anything that wasn’t incredible & delicious.“
