Bakeries near West Newton

“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!“

“Amazing pastries! Their variety is comprehensive, but I recommend the chocolate croissant, gruyere croissant, sesame sourdough, and quiche. There are no seats, but they have a coffee shop right next door!We dropped by at 1pm on a Saturday and had to line up for about 20 mins. We were told that's the average time for lining up. There's also a "3-party" limit inside, so expect to line up outside the shop (bring an umbrella or a hat, depending on the weather).

Parking: There are free slots right outside the store.“

“amazing pastries!! nice people and very good coffee. I will be back!“

“This small shop was a very nice surprise for me! They're known for chocolate croissants, and they were, indeed, very good here. I got them fresh, and they were very fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The chocolate was also pretty warm, and so it pretty much melts in your mouth. For me, this was even the case 30min after I got my croissant. Also good, for more savory items, were their foccacias. I forgot the name, but I got one with Italian sausage and tomatoes. Very nice, as the sausage was quite flavorful, and the foccacia, while a bit oily, wasn't overly so. The bread was still nice and crispy, too. I would definitely visit this place again, and try their other items. I saw one of their toasted cookies that looked really good, so that's maybe something l want to try, next time.“

“Weesh provided 100 fabulous cupcakes for a workplace celebration. The cupcakes were gorgeous, absolutely delicious (both the cake and the frosting), and a really nice size. Elyse communicated beautifully throughout the process and delivery was smooth and on time. Many guests commented that they were the best cupcakes they'd ever had. Highly recommend!“

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

“This is my second time ordering for my daughter and it has been such a great experience! Timely, efficient, beautifully done and Katie is so easy to work with! Highly recommend! Thank you for making these moments even more special!“

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

“Vegetarian sandwich, baguettes, quiche, desserts Everything is fresh and delicious!“

“I miss living close to Vinal! It's a cozy little women-owned spot with plenty of smiles and great vibes. The homemade English muffins are delicious, especially when ordered as a breakfast sandwich. I'm a big fan of the maple lattes as well, not overly sweet but still decadent.

Dietary restrictions: Pumpkin seed pesto is a lovely menu inclusion for a nut allergic individual!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I’m in town traveling from Missouri and stopped in. As a macaron baker myself, who has tried macarons all around the US, I’ve gotta say these are incredible! Hands down the best French macarons I’ve had! 10/10“

“A wonderful spot! Seriously the best pastry and as close to what we’ve had in France. You can tell they take pride in their work and it shows. Can’t wait to come back! Would highly rec one the kouign amann, leek quiche, and the cannele!“

“Great place with nice drinks hard to find in Waltham and amazing desserts/snacks“

“Incredible little bakery and cafe with wide selection of delicious pastries, specializing in croissants, with frequently rotating specials, and delicious drinks. Staff are friendly and quick and the atmosphere is vibrant and lively. Hand pies and savory croissants are my favorites, but the scones and sweet croissants are also to die for!“

“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“

“Turned a get together into a happening. Everything was delicious. Chicken salad was yummy salad and desserts amazing. Prices were reasonable.“

“Best bakery we've been to in the Boston area. Everything we've tried has been excellent, but I highly recommend the ancient grain sourdough, the feta twist and the croissants. The prices are reasonable and the staff is always friendly.“

“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.“

“I had a bagel and lox and tried all the babkas! It was all super fresh and delicious! I recommend this place 1000%“

“I’ve been going to this place every week for about three years even back when they were still called KoKo Bakery. They have by far the best Matcha latte around the area and are very consistent in their products and service. I’ve gotten two Christmas cakes, Thanksgiving pies, and I have tried every menu item they have available. Stand outs include the whole wheat bread, Matcha latte, Earl Grey Panna Cotta, Mango Cheese Cake, Peach Danish, and plain croissant. In comparison to similar cafes/bakeries like Japonaise Bakery, Paris Baguette, PB Patissiere, and OSome Cafe, this one totally beats them on consistency and taste. I’d also like to add that their Matcha latte beats most other latte and boba places when it comes to richness/purity, with the exception of maybe Cafe Luna. Go to this place!

Dietary restrictions: All food items are labeled with dietary restriction information.

“I am so impressed with the creativity and quality of the beautiful creations these amazing sisters! Everyone should order their custom designed cakes and pastries from Solodko. And how clever their last name means sweet-perfect! Nadine“

“Wow, wow, wow! Our first time trying Greek Habits and we are amazed. Visited Sunday morning, around 10:30am with my two kids (10 & 7). Service was fantastic, very patient while we looked through the large cases of sandwiches, desserts, and baklavas, and helpful in answering questions about what different items were and the popular choices. From the many savory pastry options, I chose the chicken & mushroom - the filling was so flavorful and the pastry was very flaky. My kids both tried it and liked it! Each kid had a crepe (Nutella with fruit) and my daughter declared it the best breakfast she’s ever had! I am not a fan of sweet coffee drinks but decided to try the spiced honey latte (iced) anyway, and I’m glad I did - it is an incredibly complex flavor reminiscent of cinnamon, mild honey, and slightly like burnt sugar? Fantastic! We’ll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!“

“We ordered several dozen cookies for our wedding without having tasted them previously. We were floored by how delicious they were! I would absolutely recommend Cookie Time for any event or party - truly easy to work with and a great end result!“

“**Highly Recommend!!** Overdue "Thank You" to The Icing On The Cake @tiotcma for our absolutely beautiful and unbelievably delicious wedding cake!! It was such a pleasure working with you. Thank you!! (Condakes Wedding, BBCC, 11/20/21).“

“Had a delicious breakfast scone and iced coffee here while waiting for another contractor to finish work. Nice atmosphere clean facilities and friendly staff. The patrons are something else.

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of wheelchair access“

“They did an amazing job on a bridal shower cake I ordered!! The cake was so delicious and beautiful“

“I tried the seeded sourdough for the first time yesterday and I think it's quite literally the best bread I've ever had. It's just so good, just the right texture and flavor. I also love the croissants, and the raisin pecan bread which is so far the only other bread I've tried. So far the brown butter cookies are my favorite cookie. I am not usually a cake person but the wacky cake is so good, too! Basically everything that Breadboard makes is delicious. I'm so thrilled to have this bakery within an easy walking distance from my new home. I also want to commend the way Daisy is managing ordering and pickups during our new physical distancing reality. Breadboard has a really well thought out setup, and it's good to know how seriously they are taking safety precautions. The system of pre-ordering and pre-paying, then calling when you arrive to pick up at the contact-free table outside, is really simple and makes me feel completely safe.“

“Best bakery I’ve ever been to. I’ve been going since I was 5 years old and will never stop. Their croissants are simply delightful. Their croissants are also egg free. My husband has a sever egg allergy and never ever gets to eat croissants but can eat these. Everytime we’re in the area we go.“

“The best cake I have ever had! Susan will make you anything you dream of! It tastes just as good as it looks! My Baby shower cake was the most talked about at the party! If your looking for a cake for any occasion whether big or small Please give her a call you will not be disappointed! She exceeds expectations for every occasion! Birthday, Weddings, Graduation, Showers, even dessert cakes or cupcakes. Cake is the answer!“

“I really appreciate an establishment that understands celiac disease (gluten allergy). I’ve tried their GF chocolate coconut (?) cookies and they are great. They also have an almond one. And today I was able to try a GF cupcake. The gentleman helping me was so understanding and just great.“

“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!“

“Excellent customer service and customization of my orders. what a perfectly unique way to send a message to your loved ones. Who doesn't LOVE cookies? Thank you!“

“Love this shop so much! we have had multiple cakes made here for special occasions so we decided to put in a special request for my baby shower and they definitely came threw!! it wasn't only beautiful but also delicious and made with love, thank you so much!!“

“Pricier than the sweet shop in Norwood where I usually get mochinuts ($3.50 each here, and it’s $2.50 each there), but they have a wider variety here.You place your order through a machine and someone brings it out.It is inside the same building as the Gong cha place, but it is a separate ordering and service system.Street parking is limited.The place is accessible but I don’t think there are bathrooms.Plenty of tables and booths to sit inside and wide lanes to roll if you use wheels.“

“A Delightful Culinary Journey at the Armenian BakeryI recently had the pleasure of discovering the culinary treasures at the Armenian Bakery, and I am delighted to share my positive experience with fellow food enthusiasts.The variety of offerings at Sevan Bakery is truly impressive. Whether you have a sweet tooth or a preference for savory delights, there is something to tantalize every palate. The traditional Armenian pastries, transported me to a world of authentic flavors and impeccable craftsmanship.“

“Don't be like us and show up the week before Thanksgiving expecting to get a pie. There were also extending circumstances that affected their pie production. Regardless, we enjoyed their pastries and drinks, as well as their friendly service and would definitely come back.“

“This was my first time at this bakery and it will not be my last!! I have a nut allergy and they were super accommodating making my sandwich! It was delicious! Thank you!!“

“Party Favors is a Brookline institution! I've gotten multiple different things to celebrate for my partner over the years (and vice versa). The staff are always very friendly and accommodating to help make every event special! Recently had our wedding cake tasting through Party Favors which was excellent. They also contribute to the community such as giving out free cupcakes on Brookline First Light Festival! I'm happy to support the local business and it's top notch.“

The customization process for the cupcakes, that were for a birthday party, was extremely easy; Liza was fast to respond to messages, and pickup was a breeze. The cupcakes turned out perfect! The chocolate cake was so tasty and the oreo frosting was amazing!“

“Rainbow cookies! Fresh from New Jersey!“

“I live about an hour away, and have no Persian stores near me… and this place is WORTH the drive. Yesterday I got to go with two of my children to get Persian baklava for a school project, As well as the best Torshi. The owners and their children are always so sweet, and welcoming. We’ve come here a few times over the last few years, and will definitely be going again.“

“YUM YUM YUM!This place had great customer service. I needed help with the menu, and everyone was willing to help. I had a peanut butter cookie, my son had m and m cookie, and my husband had the pre built cookie sandwich, and it was super filling!! I'm glad we didn't all get the sandwich since it was so big. Super delicious, definitely come here!“

“I buy their wonderful breads and scones every Wednesday at the Wayland Farmers Market. I look forward to visiting their actual store this fall. The Dakota, cinnamon and white breads are the best.“
