50 Best Bakeries near Watertown

“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.“

“Been coming here for yrs. but a first trimester morning where all I craved was cherry jam and feta cheese brought me back here after years of not coming over from Cambridge.

This place has all the comfort foods of Turkey - desserts, jams, olives (BLACK OLIVES YUM), and has some other random European things like Nutella.

Truly my favorite little middle eastern spot and they have fresh simit as well.

Highly recommend.“

“I was warmly greeted & waited on this morning by a friendly employee. He answered my questions regarding ingredients to avoid nut allergies and made a wonderful recommendation of a cake layered with creme & sweetened with honey. It was moist, not heavy or as rich as you might imagine. A perfect balance and delicious treat. Ample parking directly across the street as well as curb side. A complete delight.“

“Opens at 6am which is awesome! They have yummy coffee and MEM tea as well as a massive assortment of tasty treats (those cinnamon buns are dangerous…maybe leave those for me).

They also make cakes with 48 hours notice!!!

There is one step to get in but there may be a ramp around the side. I didn’t notice. Otherwise fully accessible and plenty of parking.

“Was in town for the weekend visiting family and made a trip to massis we don’t have any Armenian bakeries or stores in Connecticut. So many options to choose from i stocked up on things to bring home and got a bunch of mezze things for dinner with family we were visiting some of Them have never had Armenian food before and they enjoyed all of it. Amazing Armenian food and pastries“

“I wanna say thank you to the Jana Grill restaurant for the delicious food! I really liked the Armenian kebab, the restaurant is cozy and comfortable. There was an event on this day, but this did not affect the service time, there were a lot of people and i want to say thank you to Dmitry, sorry if i misspelled your name, this is a waiter in a black shirt who helped me with the choice from the menu, especially with dessert it was delicious, very good service! I will definitely return to you. Thanks to the owner of this restaurant for such staff I will recommend this restaurant to everyone!“

“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!“

“My favorite, # 1 bakery in the Boston area. I've been coming here for years. Lots of, lots of love for this place and folks. ❤️❤️❤️🫶 Their breads and pastries are simply the best. It’s the kind of bread that takes you straight back to your grandma’s kitchen.

Over the years, they've gotten incredibly popular, and the lines now can be a bit much, especially on weekends or holidays. So I don’t stop by as often these days, but they’ll always have a special place in my heart.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Very lovely folks who work here and nice space, but if you’re a coffee snob who came for the high ratings just be a bit careful what you order.

The flat white here is a latte and the beans are not good. I think this is somewhere to go more for Turkish coffee or American-style syruped coffee. And (probably) good pastries!“

“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)!“

“Wow. Just wow! This offering/experience is a gem amongst gems. The cheesecake is phenomenal and the story of the makers is also really sweet. I got to sample the durian during my pick up of the (special wrapped) LNY sesame flavor! They were both so heavenly—friggin creamy yet delicate at the same time. Like how. Really happy I got to share this impeccable treat with friends and look forward to ordering again for future special occasions.“

“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 stop by every so often for pastries and hot chocolate or tea. It's a lovely atmosphere with great workers. I decided to order a birthday cake for myself from them this year, and it was perfect. It reminded me of my childhood. Everyone loved it, and it tasted great even the next day! It was ready for me at the scheduled time and was easy to transport to my birthday dinner. It's so awesome to have a place that can cater to dietary concerns like mine and still taste amazing.“

“We moved to Belmont in August and this has become a staple for us. Everything is delicious here, from the croissants to the cakes. My husband bought me the chocolate hazelnut cake for my birthday and all I can say it
Was the best birthday cake I’ve ever had. Do yourself a favor and pay them a visit.“

“We love the quiche at Colette's!“

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

“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!“

“Delicious cookies and fun flavors! I'm writing this review b/c I've ordered subscriptions as presents for the past couple of years and everytime I've had to reach out with a question or anything, their customer service has been completely amazing. And people love the gift!“

“Fine pastries made by chef Sharif and his team… great espresso with a French vibe all the way down to the bistro chairs and marble top tables situated in a picturesque cobblestone alley overhung by ivy and beautiful trees. Portsmouth’s greatest hidden gem that everyone seems to know about.“

“The best Italian food in the North End! I ate their pizza for breakfast at 10 AM! Best pizza I ever had. Most delicious sauce and mozzarella from heaven. And the owners are the kindest people. They allowed me to park my commercial vehicle temporarily in their parking spot out front so I could unpack a 10’ truck in the pouring rain - we were staging a property across the street. - Home Staging by Abigail“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is literally the best coffee in town. I’ve been going once a week for the past two years, and it never disappoints. They also have the best apple cider doughnut in the area, seriously, you have to try it.
Everything they make is delicious, and their bread is amazing too, especially the Japanese-style one. The quality, the flavor, and the consistency keep me coming back every single week. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“I had an amazing experience at this bakery! I bought the Dubai chewy cookies with cheese and monuts, and everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced.

What really stood out was the staff — they were incredibly kind and patient, explaining every single product in detail and helping me choose. You can really feel the passion and care behind both the service and the baked goods.

I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place!“

“Absolutely loved this cafe. It's new and has a great clean ambience.
They do have a variety of specialty drinks - I will try this in my next visit, this visit I had an early grey tea which was served in a pot with loose leaf tea. Definitely an upgrade from the regular cafes with tea bags.
Their Colombian cheese bread was good, can't wait to try other things on their menu.
Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Wonderful carrot cake and midnight chocolate cake purchased by our daughter for our birthday celebration.“

“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.“

“Cranberry Pecan Roll is out of this world.“

“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!“

“From the very beginning working with the people at Donna’s Cakes was an A+ experience. All the people I spoke with were nice and helpful. The birthday cake was beautifully decorated, delicious and ready as promised. Thank you!“

“I am so pleased that I can go right down the street from my house and am able to buy a really good apple pie, filled with lots of apples just the right amount of sugar, I almost ate the whole pie myself, another great pie which is my favorite is the Key Lime pie, Lemon squares and blueberry muffins are a must try them.

“My favorite bagel with lox - perfect every time!“

“The team at Levain Bakery helped make my son's 16th birthday extra special, and I'm so grateful! Sixteen can be such a hard age to celebrate in a way that feels meaningful, but they completely delivered. From the beginning, they were so easy to communicate with and genuinely cared about making his day memorable. Though mom wasn't cool enough to tag along, they kindly sent videos showing just how happy and special he felt. It's clear they put real heart into what they do, and their warmth and attention to detail turned a simple bakery visit into a cherished birthday memory. Thank you for going above and beyond!“

“Best sandwiches and great service! The chicken in their greek salad was so good.“
