20 Best Bakeries near Stratham

“I want everyone to know how amazing this place is…… but I also don’t want anyone to know! 🤣“

“I’ve been obsessed with their sweets ever since I got a cake for my son’s birthday! Highly recommend & such lovely people who work there.“

“If you haven't been to the new location of Fresh AF, you need to run, don't walk!! Everything you get will be amazing!! I have been twice in 2 days- and this will just be my review for today! I finally was able to get some pictures before we ate it all! First, the new place is beautiful. Taryn did a great job, to create a warm, and welcoming place. Everyone is friendly, even when there are lines- which yes, sometimes there are- they move very quickly, the staff is excellent, and they move everyone along quickly. The cases are filled with mouthwatering sweet and savory treats, from croissants, hand pies, cupcakes, to tarts, to macarons, to donut pops, and multiple rotating items. New introductions in the grab and go section I have tried today, and can vouch for! On today's list of goodies, I bought us, a potato skin hand pie- oh my. You will want more than one!! So incredibly good- it is like a twice baked potato, with bacon, cheese, chives and some sour cream on top of a croissant like crust. (I am not a baker so forgive me for my non technical terms))! I also bought a veggie hand pie, and a Fenway hand pie- sausage, peppers, and onions. Yum! The strawberry shortcake stuffed donut was to die for! It was devoured in less than 3 minutes by us. The homemade whipped cream is ridiculously good! I lied- I will also tell you about the trifles that I have bought on my past 2 weekends. The first weekend was a strawberry shortcake (?) trifle, and last weekend a blueberry cheesecake trifle. Oh. My. God. There went the diet. The whipped cream did me in. Lastly, I bought the chopped Italian salad with burrata. It is so good!! That was my dinner today, it was so filling, and oh, and the burrata with the hot pepper jam on it was just fantastic!! Seriously, I am so happy she moved to Plaistow! This place is AMAZING!! *Just to note, this review is a few weeks old, it is my Yelp Review :) However, I can add my Quiche from this morning was outstanding!!!!“

“What a sweet addition to Newmarket! This friendly family has made a beautiful space with delicious food - the Key Lime Pie is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! This new spot is not to be missed!“

“Best donut and cold brew I have EVER had!! The staff was also amazing, patient, nice and entertaining! Good music cute shop 🫶🏻 10/10 recommend!“

“I’ve had Clyde’s cupcakes on multiple occasions. They catered for my business’s grand opening last year and the cupcakes were a hit! Everyone at the opening loved them. I am planning to have them cater again this year for my baby shower. Chyna was very responsive and helpful when I was placing the order with her. They even dropped off the cupcakes for me! I would 100% recommend getting their cupcakes for your next event.“

“This is such a cute place and quick to order. They have such unique cookies made to order. Very good cookies too my husband loves them. I'm gluten free so sadly I'm not able to eat them unless they create a gluten free option from time to time.“

“My parents were in town to visit. I couldn’t think of a better place to take them for lunch. Especially on a rainy day. The sandwiches were outstanding. My father loved the bacon on his BLT. My mother loved her egg salad. The fresh bread is everything. I couldn’t resist a slice of the Anadama. I nearly ignored my chili because the bread and butter is just that good.“

“Love this little place its my go to for breakfast in the morning during the week they have a great selection of coffees and their breakfast menu is very nice I usually order a large americano with a live free or die breakfast sandwich which is basically an entire breakfast plate jammed into a sandwich LOVE IT! the atmosphere is comfortable and cozy the staff are kind and always willing to have a casual conversation from time to time. They have some beautiful artwork of iconic locations from around Hampton Beach that are very well done my meal comes to around 17 dollars and I always pay with a 20 and tell the cashier to keep the change. go to mcbongalds order a large coffee and two dinky sausage egg and cheese biscuits and that will cost you almost 30 dollars! save your money and go to the coffee break Cafe and get yourself a great meal for half the price of Ronald mc'gouge you.“

“⭐ Review for Aroma Joe’s – Shout-Out to Ria ⭐

I just drove through Aroma Joe’s with my two dogs, and I had the nicest experience with a girl named Ria. She was professional, kind, and so sweet with my dogs — she even gave them a pup treat with whipped cream and a biscuit. They never eat that kind of thing, but they absolutely loved it!

We talked for a minute about her future, and she shared that she wants to be a cosmetologist someday. It is so inspiring to see a 16-year-old with that much direction, confidence, and genuine kindness.

Ria, keep up the good work — you’re going places. I can already tell.✨

Hope to see you again soon!

“Stopped in for a quick something for breakfast. I ordered a Swiss with ham on crossiant( I didn't realize an egg was on it), potato hash bite, and a latte.The gentleman who took our order was wonderful! He made us smile and was very helpful. I would return just bc of him, Made mine and my husband's morning.“

“I’ll be straight: I’m addicted to AJs Rush & I promised my husband I wouldn’t get one again after drinking one everyday for far too many days. That shit gets your blood pumping & they taste so damn good! That said, I still sneak them when I can because they are that good. Don’t tell my husband!“

“Great ice cream and some very unique flavors. I particularly like the Cherry Lime and Chocolate Marshmallow.“

“A great solution from a distance
I did not see the gift as I ordered from Europe for delivery in the USA, but I received appreciative photos and the recipient was thrilled with the Happy Birthday chocolates. Timely delivery and great service.
Just a word of warning: I did go back to order another gift but at very short notice - 48 hours - and it was SO expensive that I gave up and ordered flowers elsewhere instead. If you can order in advance, it seemed reasonable - not so much if you have not been organised!“

“Yummy Desserts but ask if the Coffee is fresh if you go after 4pm“

“Five stars I love my fro Jose when the machine was down I wanted to cry going close to home it took a while to order the machine as it was quite the machine five stars staff is always happy and cheerful even in my demise of not being able to have my frojo pretzels with honey mustard is great!“

“Bekah is awesome she is a huge asset to the company and provides the best customer service. She always greets us in the morning with a smile and always knows what the order is going to be. We keep coming back because of her customer service skills. If she would leave I would recruit her. Ashley is great too. The music in the cafe is the best ! It’s always the right volume and the music fits the scene.“

“Love this place. The bread is incredible (buy a loaf to take home!) and the soups/sandwiches are consistently great. It has a really warm, rustic feel to it that makes you want to hang out for a while. Fast service and good prices for the quality. Highly recommend!“

“Loved our lunch yesterday (in the inviting and spacious bar room) of salmon burgers with side and bloody Mary's! Festive atmosphere and friendly staff. Will return for sure!“
