7 Best Bakeries near Rockland

“Today I had the best haddock chowder! It had large pieces of haddock, with a lovely buttery broth. Most haddock chowders at restuarants/cafes have mushy, small pieces of fish and are loaded with potatoes for fuller. Not so at Home Kitchen Bakery, which is the place to go for best haddock chowder! And it comes with a large, tasty biscuit!“

“Delicious bakery items never disappoint! This is my go-to place for either treating someone, or just meeting up for a casual coffee/cookie etc. Recently tried their smoothies and were pleasantly surprised as they were double the flavor and half the price of the smoothie place down the street. Always a fantastic experience with the bakery items (especially the molasses ginger cookies)!“

“I love this bakery. I was so excited when it first opened. They keep a perfect variety of items from a sweet tooths dream to a cozy coffee pairing pastry. Even when I get in late and they are almost cleared out I can find something to satiate a craving.“

“Divine cupcakes. Every bite is to die for. The staff is amazing. They went above and beyond when I ordered kitty themed cupcakes for my daughter's birthday party. They even frosted the mini ones to look like cats. I don't even like eating sweets but I always crave their cupcakes and I'm planning to pick up some soon again. The frosting is real?, not like the ones in most bakeries where it tastes artificial.Parking: Off season - no problem, but once the tourist season starts it might be tricky to find a parking spot. You can try parking by the library and walking back.“

“The lemon blueberry cake I got for a very special occasion was the most flavorful and prettiest cake I have ever had. Not too sweet or cloying. One guest said, “I don’t usually like cake, but I would eat this anytime, any day!” Truly fabulous!“

“Quality spot with local produce, dairy, and meats, in addition to a fairly good selection of high quality imports; oils, vinegars, pasta, condiments, cheeses, butters, etc... I love the unique variety. Their pastries are pretty good, I have tried many but often don't feel the need to have them again. They have a great rotating bread selection, my favorite is the fruit and nut sourdough available on Saturdays. I took 1 star off for the breakfast sandwich. I first had it about a year ago and it was AMAZING. Grilled to perfection with toasty bread and a delicious tomato chutney. I wanted everyone I knew to try it. Unfortunately the quality is so intermittent, often I don't even want to gamble on it anymore. Sometimes the English muffin is super softy and almost soggy, I think from being in the deli foil wrap. More than once I've received a sandwich with a missing ingredient (either no chutney or no greens or no meat) did they just run out? I don't know, but it's disappointing when it happens. Overall I like this place a lot, but the breakfast sandwich situation is a bummer for me since I know how good it could be.“

“Great vibes, high quality coffee and tea, and delicious food. You can't beat the view of the harbor from the patio. I had gluten free avocado toast and was most satisfied. I also asked for a custom tea blend and they were more than happy to oblige. Hot tip, sit here and have some caffeine then go around the corner to Freya's for some ice cream to continue the vibes.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options“
