50 Best Bakeries near Wellesley

“I bought the most delicious cranberry almond scone and ate it a day later. Somehow it was still soft in the middle, crunchy and crisp on the outside, and had just enough sweetness you’d want from a scone. The lemon rice chicken soup was amazing. The owner and staff are lovely. In the past I’ve pre-ordered a Buche de Noel for Christmas supper and not only was it festive and beautiful, it was a chocolatey, decadent, and divine treat. What a gem of a bakery!“

“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“

“Delicious ice cream!!! Can’t beat it:)“

“I'll be honest, we almost didn't come here because I usually follow the wisdom of crowds and when I saw the 4.1 rating I thought we might pass on visiting. I'm glad we came, it was a five star experience for me... The quality of the morning bun and tasty seasonal black sesame latte I had were very high and we'll definitely come back (at least to another location). It was a little bit noisy and it seems like the lines could swell during busy times but that doesn't take away from the overall rating for me.“

“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 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 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.“

“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!“

“I ordered a vegan birthday cake for my girlfriend. It was a little on the expensive side, but it was totally worth it. I am not even vegan, but this was possibly the best cake I have ever had! The staff was friendly and it only took 2 days to get the cake.“

“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.“

“Quaint little place that feels authentic and coupled with fantastic service. The owner who works the bakery is very sweet and accommodates your requests. Bakery items are so tasty and you will come back for more. The display of flatbreads are extraordinary as they are lined up for your viewing. A must for breads and tasty treats. The custard filled bombolone is the best (and my favorite).“

“We contacted them for our Baby Shower cupcakes. They were beautifully decorated and exquisite! People at the party loved them. We definitely recommend this place. I can’t wait to order more options from here. Thank you Dessert Works for been part of our memories and for making a wonderful experience!! -Ida“

“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“

“Pizza is too salty. Most of the ingredients contain lots of sodium so try to cut down on the added salt“

“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!“

“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 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!“

“Got a loaf of the Sunflower Multigrain a few weeks ago and this is hands down the best bread I've ever had.“

“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.“

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

“Friends brought croissants from Le Petit Four. Arguably the best croissants ever enjoyed. Perfect combination of melt-in your mouth, butter flavor, flakiness and doneness. Remarquable !“

“Best bakery and cafe around!“

“I found Alev online through a google search. She helped me plan custom sugar cookies to match a wildflower theme for a bridal shower. Alev was very communicative and delivered the cookies to the venue. The cookies were not only delicious but also beautiful! There were so many compliments on the intricate details on the flowers. Came out perfect!“

“Omgggg this place is my new obsession! The owners are so nice and welcoming and the pasteries are some of the best I’ve ever had. They turned the old Starbucks location into something to cute and girly I love it. I also ordered some cupcakes for a Halloween party and the carrot cake ones were so moist and flavorful and the decorations were adorable. If you like cool unique lattes with cool syrups they also have those.“

“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.“

“Cupcakes were my first introduction to Ware Baking Co., and I was hooked right off the bat. The "Cookie Drop" is the one thing we look forward to every week, and love the personal delivery service. Great holiday gift, or plan your next party!“

“Absolutely wonderful small bakery. I feel like one of the family every time I go there. I get to try new food specialties from Guatemala! Yum. Today Today it was an amazing tortita. I was planning on taking a photo of it to add to the post but I ate it too soon!!! Yum!!! Totally recommend it.“

“It’s a great place! Tried the ham and cheese croissant here—impressive quality. You can tell it’s made using proper lamination technique: the dough has beautifully defined layers, light and flaky. The coffee was well-balanced with a smooth finish. A solid spot if you appreciate well-crafted pastries and good coffee.“

“Lovely staff and delicious baked goods!“

“I love the Bakehaus. Cushings Square has been made infinitely more delicious and the outside seating is summery and lovely!“

“I have a big sweet tooth, have been to many bakeries, can surely testify that the scones and peach pies (only during peach season) are the best.“

“Country Desserts Bake Shop on Lexington Street in Newton is a true hidden gem for anyone craving fresh, homemade-style baked goods. Two years ago, Igor Quintero, who had been working with Nancy, the prior owner, bought the bakery. He kept Nancy's wonderful offerings while adding many of his own. Walking through its doors, you're met with beautifully stocked cases brimming with an irresistible selection of treats, each one crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients and free from preservatives--just like homemade desserts should be.

With so many delicious options, it's hard to know where to start. Their chocolate chip, oatmeal, and Italian wedding cookies, available in three flavors, are simply fantastic. The turnovers are exceptional, featuring perfectly flaky crusts filled with delectable fruit fillings, including adorable miniature raspberry versions. Their selection of pies is just as impressive, with highlights like their tangy key lime pie and irresistible lemon squares for citrus lovers.

Muffins here are moist and flavorful, but if you have a favorite variety, you'll want to call ahead or arrive early, as they tend to sell out fast. Each holiday brings special seasonal treats, and placing an order ensures you won't miss out. Today, I spotted Easter bread made the old-fashioned way, sparking nostalgia in my friend, who fondly recalled the way his mother used to bake it during his childhood.

Whether you're indulging in a personal treat or ordering a custom cake for a special occasion, Country Desserts Bake Shop's dedication to quality and deliciousness shines through. The only small downside is their limited hours--they're open until 2 PM during the week, 1 PM on Saturdays, and closed on Sundays. However, early birds can rejoice, as doors open at 6:30 AM.

If you're in the area, this bake shop is an absolute must-visit.“

“Gaetano’s is amazing! I love the cannolis and pastries. Customer service is always excellent & Guy is a great owner & is taking care of his customers by selling gloves, sanitizer, wipes, etc during this time. I will continue to support this business & can’t wait to try the strawberry shortcake I just picked up!“

“I'm not usually a big fan of mochi, but this was incredible! The mochi texture was impossibly soft and the fresh cream and fruits inside were delicious. Surprisingly the Oreo flavor was our favorite, but I also loved the strawberry! I'd definitely come back here.“

“Cheese bread is fantastic. Great selection, something different every day. A lot of flans.. Love to have in the neighborhood“

“Cannot recommend enough! Went in with a very specific request on a very short timeline and they over-delivered. Now, I don’t recommend being a pain like me and asking for them for things on short notice, but this situation really helped me understand more about their business and how they treat their customers. I am a new loyal customer and would encourage you to give them a try the next time you need cupcakes or cake pops.“

“This family-owned bakery and donut shop offers a warm, inviting atmosphere and is nut-free for peace of mind. They handcraft all of their baked goods, including custom specialty cakes (with advanced orders). The moment you walk in, you'll feel right at home. Their donuts are so delicious you'll find yourself craving more, and the coffee is top-notch, brewed with great quality beans. The menu features a variety of donuts, pastries, and breakfast sandwiches—all at affordable prices. In addition, they create custom cakes, cookies, and cupcakes for any occasion. This bakery truly goes above and beyond to deliver excellent quality and service to their customers.“

“Thank you for the fast shipping! Great to have a bit of my childhood fav cookies from my hometown delivered to me in NYC. Anytime I’m back in Boston I grab a few packs to bring back- so happy I can just order online now 😉“

“Every once and awhile you come across a business that has it all - an outstanding product, genuinely wonderful people and an approach to customer service that restores your faith in humanity. Cafe Fresh Bagel delivers on all of those fronts. The bagels are superb and the variety, freshness and flavor of the wares on display is unsurpassed. The people who run the establishment are the kind of individuals that serve as the epitome of what entrepreneurs should be - hardworking, dedicated and thoughtful. Honestly, I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else for my bagels…!“

“We got our wedding cutting cake here and it was absolutely amazing! We had many kosher guests who loved the cake, plus it was dairy and nut free for our many guests who had dietary restrictions. The wedding cake tasting was super fun, they set up a little bistro table in the store for us and had many options to try. The cake was delicious and it was all gone by the end of the night with most people going back for seconds! Karen could not have been nicer during the whole process and they were very accommodating of allergies. Would highly recommend!“

“Cookie Monstah is an ice cream shop that originated from a food truck, now having roots across Massachusetts. This location is based out of Needham, located in a mini mall area right outside of the town center.

The staff are friendly and make orders quite quickly, even when it's close to closing time. The place is kept cleanly, and the atmosphere is nice and has a decent amount of seating outside.

The ice cream is pretty good. It's good in shake form or as regular ice cream, though the prices are a bit expensive. The flavors are pretty good though and it isn't too expensive. Definitely would recommend trying it if you're in the area.“

“My Husband broke up with me after 9years of relationship. It started from small misunderstandings after which he told me that it would be good to take a break, which I think turned into a breakup. He no longer looks for me, he blocked my number and people said they saw him with another woman, this brought tears to my eyes because we are about to marry, I searched for help when I came across this spiritual man called DR OZOLE who have helped many people having relationship problem, I talked with him about my situation and he described to me the process to get back with my lover, I followed his instructions and today I'm happy because my man came back after 5 months of breakup and we are happily married now. If you need the help of a spell caster for any kind of relationship problem contact DR OZOLE for a lasting solution. #drozoleapellhome“
