50 Best Bakeries near Winchester

“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!“

“Super soft and fluffy muffins.

Stopped by after a walk in the Middlesex Fells Reservation nearby. There aren’t many bakeries or coffee shops in the area, and one of my colleagues from Medford had mentioned this place for its muffins. We came in the afternoon, and most of the muffin flavors were already gone, but we still managed to grab the Gingerbread, Birthday Cake, Strawberry Shortcake, and Chocolate Dreams.

Nothing mind-blowing, but for $13.25 for four muffins with buttercream fillings, it felt like a solid deal. Most were filled with French buttercream, which I obviously prefer over American, so they paired well with the light, fluffy muffin base. My favorites were the Strawberry Shortcake and the Gingerbread, and I’ll definitely come back to try the Boston Cream next time.“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Another 6 star business. I felt delighted they were just 2 minutes from my Airbnb .
Authentic French baking , great friendly staff who listened attentively my order and their coffee and baked goods are amazing .
Highly recommend if you’re nearby or want a real deal place 😋😋😋“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“It's 28 September 2025 at 0830. The place was super clean, comfortable, and we were treated by an amazing staff. This woman crushed it. I have not been this impressed by service in a long time. I would recommend this shop to anyone simply based off the quality of service provided by the employee.by the way the food and drinks were excellent“

“These are the best and most unique cheesecakes that I have ever eaten, and Duly is a kind and awesome human. I highly recommend the Vietnamese Coffee and the OG Burnt, and the specialty flavors of ube as well as durian were also delicious! It's a super easy ordering and pickup experience, there are often fun samples to try, the fillings are always perfectly creamy and the crust pairs perfectly, and Duly is always dreaming up delectable, one-of-a-kind flavors. If I could afford to, I would try every cake Duly makes, with lots of repeat orders!“

“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. 🍋🥥“

“First time at the bakery. It has a small area for seating, seems geared to take out. We ate inside, team members were pleasant and helpful. You place and pick up your order at the counter.
Small selections, but everything we had was delicious. The breakfast sandwiches we had were a bit on the spicy hot 🌶 side, but ok 👍 for us.
Great place for quick ☕️ and breakfast or bakery item.
They had great music 🎶..in the background.“

“This place is the best! They import the flour from France and I can eat every single thing I want. The lavender flavor they use is amazing and my slow day go to. So yummy. Also the ham and cheese croissant is tops. I bring the croissants to people who I really like.“

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

“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!“

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

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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“The desserts are amazing we got there too late and missed the mochi donuts. But we got this other mochi dessert with cream and custard filling. It was so so good, and even better the next day. One has a match cream and another a custard filling. We will definitely be back to try their other stuff.“

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

“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!“

“Very nice bakery - friendly staff.

We ordered a cake a few years ago for a gender reveal party that worked out really well.

Recently we wanted to do the same thing to announce our second child, so we ordered a small batch of cupcakes with a blue/pink center to do the gender reveal. Except this time they forgot to add the filling! We called up the bakery and within an hour they had quickly put together some replacement cupcakes. Mistakes happen - but their team really worked hard to help us out and save the day.“

“Hearth & Hug is a MUST anytime I’m in the city. The entire team is small but mighty and incredibly helpful and nice! Every pastry and bread is simply heavenly. 100/10 must go!!!! The freshness in every item is next to none and you can tell each item is made with the love like no other.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.
