50 Best Bakeries near Wakefield

“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)“

“Unique spot for cookies, muffins, and various bakery items. They do a terrific job.

This is my first visit to their Wakefield location. The Winchester mass location is also excellent. Great service, high-quality bakery products easily accessible. Would highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Michette is a gem tucked into the ever-evolving landscape of East Somerville. From the outside, the charming signage with little cartoons holding croissants pulls you in, but it’s the feeling once you step inside that really hooks you.

Walking in, it almost feels like you’ve crossed into a different era. The rich, dark wood and bustling energy give it this kind of timeless, grounded vibe. You’ve got a crowd inside, all clearly here with purpose, as the team behind the counter works like a well-tuned orchestra, each person genuinely engaged with their craft. Watching them work—rolling dough, restocking trays—makes it feel like you’re witnessing something rare in today’s fast-paced world: people who truly enjoy what they’re creating.

In a city where larger, established bakeries often dominate, it’s inspiring to see a small, grassroots operation like Michette making its mark. There’s something special about seeing the community embrace a place that’s focused so much on quality and craft. Their strive for excellence doesn’t go unnoticed, and it’s clear that they’re pouring everything into this spot.

I tried their canelé and chocolate croissant, which lived up to their reputation. The canelé was perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and custardy within, and the chocolate croissant had these endless layers, each bite flaking away to reveal the deep chocolate tucked inside. You can taste the skill and attention that goes into these pastries; it’s obvious they’re baked with genuine love.

Michette feels like it could quickly become a contender for one of Boston’s go-to bakeries. I’ll be back soon, and if you’re a pastry lover, this place is definitely worth a visit.“

“This charming little café offers delicious pastries and breakfast sandwiches served on English muffins. The space is small, with just a few tables, but they also have a separate online order window, which is great for pick-up. My friend and I tried two lattes—one fall special and a vanilla oat milk latte—and both were solid, quality coffees. Nothing extraordinary, but definitely satisfying.

It was a bit busy, so we waited around 15-20 minutes, but it was worth it. We both went for breakfast sandwiches, which come in different varieties with optional toppings for an additional charge. Honestly, this was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve had in a long time. Even though it was on a smaller English muffin, it was hearty without being overly filling, and everything was cooked perfectly—especially the melted American cheese. The English muffins were soft and had a great flavor, much better than store-bought.

I got the egg and cheese sandwich with bacon and avocado, and I’ll definitely be back!“

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

“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. 🍋🥥“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“We love the quiche at Colette's!“

“Cranberry Pecan Roll is out of this world.“

“Over the past 4 months or so I have called with various questions, mostly having to do with your chicken pies. Every time I have called the person who answered my call was able to answer my questions quickly and politely. I appreciate the efficient service as that seems to be a rarity these days. Thank you so much.“

“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.“

“With the other "M" bakeries taking all the hype, this small bakery slips under the radar despite selling a whole lot of yummy stuff, including calzones and cannoli.

ETA: Came back another time and caught a kid sticking his finger in the cannoli cream in the back. Ew.“

“So delicious!! Their cakes, breakfast sandwiches and scones are so good. I can’t wait to try their coffee next time I visit. Highly recommend“

“Roma's is family owned and operated, and ALWAYS makes you feel as though you are part of their large Italian family!! Not to mention how absolutely delicious their pastries and fresh bread are. You will never leave without a smile. Whether it comes from the food or the laughs with staff, Roma's has you leaving happy every time!! Much love to Roma's ♥️♥️♥️

Kid-friendliness: They have every pastry and cookie that a child can dream of, and are very kid friendly.“

“Wanted a quick breakfast on the go and this place hit the spot! The walk-up stall was busy, but the line was moving quickly. The person taking orders was friendly and efficient, and you could see the team working hard to crank out orders. They had an array of sourdough bagels, schmears, and breakfast sandwiches. I got the B Flat on Jalapeño Cheddar (a weekend special flavor) with bacon and it was very good. The sauce they use was nice and complimented the cheese and bacon well. We also took some bagels and schmear to-go for snacking later.

My only complaint is the bagels weren't as chewy as I like, but the tang from the sourdough was really pleasant! Overall, if you are in the area you can't go wrong with a bagel or bagel sandwich from Bagel Guild!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Please do not EVER remove the meatball parm sandwich from your menu. it would also be nice to have a better variety of music.“

“love this place best croissant ever feel like I m in 🇫🇷“

“Great smoothies that you can customize“

“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.“

“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.“

“Will never go there just by reading reviews how they treat customers with disrespect, that behavior is not tolerate in Little Italy NYC Mulberry Street stop by Cafe Palermo if you in New York“

“Thank you so so much for my daughters graduation cake! Incredible customer service so helpful with helping me decide on what flavors and designs. The cake was outstanding!!! Thank you so much!“

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

“Natalie is an amazing baker and cook. Fun to watch and very easy to learn from. Her assistant, Colin, does an impressive job too! What a wonderful team. I look forward to them being not distant in the near future🥰“

“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!“

“i have gone here more than any other cafe in the world and i have lived in somerville for less than a year. this is my go-to spot when someone asks to meet for coffee. i will continuously update with more pictures (i often forget to take them) but here are reviews of everything ive eaten/drunk at 3 little figs.

overall: their prices are truly unbeatable for the quality. the most expensive coffee drink is a $5 mocha and a $4.5 latte and everything is lower than those two. incredible. their matcha latte is $4.5, chai is $4.5, london fog $4. yeah they’re my goat for this

pastries:
- apple cider donut muffin: i think of her constantly. beautifully spiced and a little crunchy on the outside but so melt in your mouth decadent on the inside. a wonderful donut in the shape of a muffin. she’s also like $3.50 or something nuts like that
- lavender biscuit: I also think of her constantly. crispy but airy but dense and slightly salty biscuit with the most yummy lavender glaze. ginormous for $3.5
- chai muffin: really soft and airy, the espresso icing is so delicious. i do not think of her all the time but she is what she says she is. the icing makes it so cupcake like but it’s the right amount of icing. for $3 im pogging
- goat cheese scone: YUM. it’s their biscuit again, huge, and has pieces of goat cheese that is salty and delicious. a great savoury pastry option
- chocolate pistachio cookie: she is DENSE. she is buttery. she is not that chewy. if that is what you’re into. just a very good warm dense cookie with melty chocolate

food:
- ricotta toast: ive only had it sweet here (cinnamon and honey) and it kickstarted my love for ricotta. airy, creamy, perfect sweetness, incredibly flavourful yet soft sourdough. banger. she’s $6 and a gateway to other toasts
- market sandwich: ive had better but i still enjoyed it (pic) - $11 is the steepest you can get at 3 little figs and this is it! it’s good though, and don’t sleep on the fig jam
- breakfast sandwiches: yum yum yum and smell so incredibly good. for $6 for a filling beautifully and artisanal crafted breakfast sandwich? aw yea. black pepper biscuit with sausage is the goat

cons:
- seating is ez if u come early in the morning like i do. if not then yea it’s hard
- too awesome
- not gate kept. because they deserve all the love and popularity

even more pros:
- free awesome water on tap (still and sparkling)
- swag too different, service too good, food too fresh, life is awesome“

“One Mighty Mill in Lynn, MA is awesome. Very clean, staff is friendly. Tony and Julio went above and beyond to make my residents feel welcome. Tony did an overview of how the mill works and answered all the questions we had. Great bagels !“

“I just had one of your mini trifles. Chocolate, mousse with hazelnuts. Oh my goodness. It was scrumptous!“

“There is no seating, literally, not a single table or chair for customers in the whole building, not one. Don't even bother if you want to enjoy your pastry's there, you will have to stand and eat them. So walked a few doors down to Modern Pastry, they had great coffee drinks and basically the same pastries with seating and table service. About 40 people at Modern Pastry tonight, 2 people in Mike's, and they we kneeling on the ground eating their pastries. We saw them kneeling and we were like, nope.. I Like Mike's but with no seating in the building, this location is no longer worthy of my biz.“

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

“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!“

“Liza’s cupcakes are phenomenal! Taste and design are top notch! If you’re local to Medford, please look no further than her for your cake/cupcake needs. I’m a customer for life now because of how good everything has tasted and how easy she makes it to order. Highly recommend!“

“Best croissants! Fairly regular customer and have catered a few times. Always a hit.“

“Very beautiful store. The young woman helping me was so nice. She was so helpful in explaining the traditional Greek, Turkish, and Albanian foods. The store was put together very nice. Everything was neat and orderly. There are tables right near the windows which adds the whole atmosphere. You can sit in and relax. Have a pastry and some coffee and take it all in. I recommend the Byrek or spinach pie.Everything looked so good. They have traditional Greek Baklava. They have homemade Tzatziki . I bought a spinach pie and a lemon tart square. I recommend that everyone at least go in but be prepared to leave with no money. I cannot wait to go back and buy some Baklava and some homemade Tzatziki. There are also frozen pasta’s. Dry goods. Cheese. Pretty much you will find something good around every corner. Eva’s was recommended to me by an Albanian girl i work with. So i trust her word. Eva’s is along the lines of the food she is used to. She says to me i want to tell everyone to go to Eva’s. So that was all i needed to hear. Glad i listened.

Parking: Open parking lot. At least 15“

“Persian bakeries are hard to find. We drove over an hour to get here and were not disappointed. Everything is delicious and fresh as can be. Lots of good stuff is not on display so make sure to ask.“

“Loved the atmosphere & the selection of middle eastern, Armenian, & Persian items - fresh & packaged. It has a small shop / family feel. A must-stop if you’re visiting the area!

The guy at the register was awesome & talked with me about the area & was clearly friendly with everyone who came in before me. One of the best stops while I visited town & can’t wait to go back for more goodies!“

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

“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“

“he best bakery ever! I have had everything from the cakes and cupcakes, to the quiche and chicken pot pie… and it’s ALL delicious! I highly recommend them for specialty cakes or cookies, as I feel they can do anything you want perfectly! If you like caramel delights, that is the best cupcake I’ve ever had! The cakes I’ve ordered from there are always moist, and delicious. The staff is so friendly as well! I got over 100 cookies made by them for my wedding for my seating chart and everyone raved about them! I just got my rainbow birthday cake from there and it’s sooooo cool! I highly recommend!“

“love this place, been coming here since 2011. the pink cake is so sweet and delicious, so is the cheesecake bread especially when warm, and the fried sugary donut sticks with the filling in the middle. sorry I don't know the correct names for it all. recently tried their tiramisu cups and tamales- holy cow so delicious :) my boyfriend is in love with their tamales.everyone is friendly here too and I will always be a customer, I can tell they work hard!“
