34 Best Bakeries in Rochester

“Absolutely amazing bakery! I'd been meaning to stop by myself after receiving some of the small cheesecakes as a gift and they did not disappoint! The staff is extremely friendly, and it seems like everyone knows each other there which is so sweet.

Their cheesecakes are to die for, they're not overly sweet. The carrot cakes as well stayed moist and delicious. Absolutely will be going here for birthday needs 💜“

“This love story began 20 years ago 😆 in the artsy Southwedge part of Rochester, NY!
It’s like it melts in your mouth, easily in the top 3 of all things cheesecake. I’m serious folks.
You have to try it, just go lay your eyes on it. Looking away is impossible, after just one bite you’re hooked…my mother seconds this❤️“

“Just stopped by here today and grabbed two loaves of focaccia. Not exaggerating, this is the BEST bread I’ve had in my life. Do yourself a favor and stop by here as soon as you can to grab some delicious home made bread. They also have a variety of local items as well and I picked up some dog treats and pies from crust.“

“From time to time work brings me into Rochester. During a trip my co-worker brought me to Georgie’s for an amazing Cubano w/chicharrones. I enjoyed the food and chats with Georgie. Stand-up guy with an amazing café. So glad to see him and his family putting amazing food out after all of these years. You will not be disappointed!“

“Cute little Macaron shop! Great flavor choices“

“We had a friend introduce us to this bakery a month ago as we we're searching for a good gluten free bakery to get some deserts for our daughter's graduation party. I stopped in a few days prior to the party and picked up a variety of items, their assorted mini cookie tray, a few of their frosted cookies and a variety box of cupcakes. All of our gluten free guests LOVED the options and devoured the sweets pretty quickly. My daughter's favorite is the Carrot Cake cupcake. We will definitely be making more visits, especially before our daughter leaves for college.“

“This woman is Amazing in the cake she made me for my New Year’s Eve reception. She . I sent her a picture and she made me a cake 🎂 of my dream. I literally screamed in excitement when I picked it up. She went way beyond the call of duty. Making me a custom base that lights. She worked in my budget and everyone at my reception loved it so much because how unique it was and wanted her into to order!!!“

“carbo heaven. wonderful sweet and savory items. i'm thrilled that we're past winter farmer's market. Crust's items are divine!“

“The thanksgiving pie was AMAZING.“

“Lynn’s desserts are absolutely delicious, and she is an amazing person to work with. I found Lynn when I was searching for someone to do the desserts for my upcoming wedding. From our first correspondence, she was kind, knowledgeable, and patient. When we received our tasting box, we were amazed at the quality, texture, moistness, and overall taste of ALL the cupcakes she provided. Hands down, Delectable Desserts is the absolute best!!“

“Always very good. Cookies are warm and large when picked up. ( only had one cookie that was cold. Totally worth the money. Cute boxes too!“

“The best pastry shop around! They’ve done my wedding shower, wedding, baby shower, gender reveals and more! I couldn’t recommend them more!“

“Oh Sunny Six Grain how I love thee.... My favorite bread of theirs, and the breakfast sandwich is so good even my grumpy 15 year old will get up early for one!“

“Best cheesecake I’ve ever had in my life it is so so soooooooo good it is almost orgasmic, just thinking about it I am drooling 🤤 a mist try if you are a cheesecake fan ! Also tried the banana bread it is really yummy and those ginger turmeric bar are also really yummy. The bread is different a little like a pumpernickel I really liked it ! Love this place it’s one of the hidden gems of ROC glad we tried it ❤️“

“The Yummy Cookie Jar makes fantastic cookies!! And very creative flavors!! I highly recommend!“

“Lily is a wonderful woman, my husband has been helping her with some things around her bakery so he wanted to introduce her to our family which is why we were there. To thank him for his help she is always sending us some of her delicious baked goods. I highly recommend stopping in and checking out what she has.“

“Gas & bulk items…………………..“

“The absolute best customer service you could ask for! Kellie was amazing to work with, so kind and responsive. I wouldn't order my cakes from anywhere else!“

“Great strombolis; customer service slow to reply when a problem arises (20 weeks in my complaint's case) but they WILL respond to a valid complaint. Patience is definitely a virtue here - I'm thinking they're swamped and/or understaffed (it would explain both their response time AND the mistake that had prompted my complaint).“

“Scratch has made quite a few different desserts for my family and they have gone above and beyond expectation every time. Just when you think their cakes are the best you’ve ever had, their cookies and fresh doughnuts enter the arena too. 🤣 I cannot stress enough about how great their treats and staff are. ❤️“

“This place is amazing! I have been getting bread every now and then from there for a few years and each time, I wish I went more often. There are quite a few different types loaves that rotate for a good variety. I don't usually make reviews but after having some of the cheddar jalapeno loaf (which quickly turned into the entire loaf), it seemed right to give due credit.“

“An iconic Little Italy Neighborhood business with delicious bread and sweets!“

“Totally disagree with review citing poor location. There is easy access from East Henrietta Road and Westfall Road. Plenty of parking. The staff are friendly and helpful. Many organic and gluten free offerings. Outstanding prices and very high quality. Best gas prices in town. We bought tires there and have free rotation. We LOVE this place. Buy a membership! You'll save money.“

“Just had these at the Public Market during the food truck rodeo. Easily the best apple cider donut I’ve ever had. And I lived on an apple farm growing up that made these types of donuts fresh everyday lol. Would highly recommend getting them and eating them hot!“

“Brads Cookie Nook has the best cookies. My sister was thrilled to get a special delivery for Christmas in Ohio!“

“Came here yesterday. A nice quiet spot with good snacks. Honestly found the Korean corn dog and mochi donuts a little too oily for my taste, but the texture was great. Also was hoping to get my drink in a can like the photos but I didn't know if I had to ask for that or what but it's alright. But thinking back on it, I think the ube tasted a lot more like taro and those are two different root crops, but don't take my word for it. I'm a taro girl through and through, maybe I just haven't dignified my pallet. I guess what I'm trying to say is I expected a little more. Though it was a nice spot to hangout for a while and read as it wasn't busy.“

“Best chocolate babka ever. They do a wonderful job catering too. We used them for my son’s post-wedding breakfast and we heard nothing but great things about the food!“
