50 Best Bakeries in Rochester

“Best Greek food I've ever eaten“

“cake was absolute perfection. best tasting in town!!“

“Love their cheesecake.
I came here Saturday morning to get a cheesecake. After reviewing many places, I decided to try out Cheesy Eddie, and their cheesecake does not disappoint me. It’s creamy and not too sweet as other bakery (still a little bit sweet for me, but their sugar level is acceptable). The store is small and a bit hidden. Staffs are friendly. The only thing I wish is the 1lb type could be a bit cheaper. Or I think getting 2lb will be better value“

“Sunday I picked up a loaf of bread, cannolis and an eclair for Palm Sunday dinner. Everything was AMAZING! ...and the cannolis were especially great! Thank you! Kathy & Tony“

“Goodman Baked is the best bakery in town! Pastries are so flaky, the pot pies are so delicious and homemade tasting! Pie crusts are buttery and wonderful! The maritozzi (Italian cream buns) are so fresh and heavenly…better than the ones we had in Italy! Treat yourself!“

“We had a cheesecake for a birthday and sampled some of their cupcakes. The cheesecake was extraordinarily good. I've never had cheesecake like that before.

The cupcakes were very good. We had to refrigerate them for a day and if one were to do that, I would recommend taking them out of the fridge and letting them sit for an hour or so before eating.

We will be back!“

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

“Fantastic pies, cookies, everything!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!!!“

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!“

“Delicious croissants and treats. Their homemade butterscotch coffee was also yummy! Friendly people and cute vibes.“

“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. ❤️“

“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.

“We purchased several pies for Thanksgiving. The prices were great, the service exceptional but one of the pies won’t be making it too Thanksgiving... because I couldn’t resist the pecan pie. It’s amazing! I will be ordering pies from here every Thanksgiving for now on ❤️“

“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!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get Caked Bakery on Goodman is dangerously good. Everything looks like art and tastes even better. The vibe is sweet, the staff is friendly, and the desserts are the kind that make you close your eyes on the first bite. Rochester is lucky to have this place.“

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

“Beautiful ladies creating and serving heavenly creations with attention to detail. The careful packaging and patience as we selected from many was appreciated. The layers of flavour and creativity in each bite was worth every penny. Hope you get a location on Park Ave or somewhere with lots of foot traffic if an opportunity arises so more people can enjoy your amazing talent. Thank you! (I will be adding a photo every month to celebrate hubby's 60th year...Lucky me!)“

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

“My family loves Cinnaholic!
I went on the opening day, and we've come multiple times since!

My favorite is the peanut butter one with chocolate chips and peanut butter frosting. 😁

They also have soft serve which my daughter likes to get!“

“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).“

“great bread, rolls, cookies, missed them, drive far to purchase very good pastry at the best price around“

“We recently had a surprise 40th birthday celebration for my daughter. There were 14 guests. We had brunch on a Sunday. Everything was wonderful. The General Manager, Webster was great to work with. He was very professional as well as personable. The staff was amazing. Very polite & we had exceptional service. The food was delicious. Everyone was very pleased with what they had. We would highly recommend the Brown Hound.“

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

“I’ve always had wonderful experiences at this crumbl location, on both sides of the counter! As a die-hard crumbl fan, I like this location the best in Rochester. This week I tried the Dubai chocolate cookie with crispy pistachio, it was simply fantastic. The cookies are always beautiful, and I’ve always had kind and prompt service from staff. Such a wonderful addition to the neighborhood!“

“I’m not a cake person at all first time having this cake was at a graduation , now I’m Hooked and now I have my co workers hooked . This definitely will be are weekly fix. All Flavors are too die for, and the frosting is amazing . Store was clean costumer service is A+ as well.“

“I have eaten so many loaves of the Baker Street French boule since moving to Rochester. Also love the scones, honey ginger cookies, and rotating cake flavors (we miss the cannoli though). Always a delight to come here on a Saturday morning.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ me encantó lo rápido y delicioso que preparó mi orden“

“Went for a coffee and bagel for the first time the other day as I heard about this place. I have to say the de-caf coffee was really good and the bagel was great also. Not as pricey as Breuggers.
Definitely going back this morning and other mornings.“

“I needed 100 mini quesitos on short notice for my mom’s funeral. I think I spoke to the owner and he was incredibly kind and helpful. The ordering and pickup process was so much easier than I expected. Much credit for his professionalism.

I want to give them all the love and gratitude I can. Besides the quality and deliciousness of the pastries, I appreciate their kindness. And the price was excellent. It’s obvious that they’re a staple on the east side of Rochester, but I pray for even more prosperity for their business because they’re one of the few businesses that don’t just do it for the money. They do it from the heart. I’m super grateful that they were willing to help me AND deliver a great product when others would have probably given a half hearted effort. God bless them and their business.“

“I ordered the Buffalo Bills pizza for the playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. First off, they contacted me when the game was rescheduled and offered accommodations so that I could get the pizza and bake it myself as they weren’t open on Monday when the game would be played. THEN called back again to let me know they were going to open on Monday after all and scheduled a time for me to pick up my pizza. Awesome customer service and only outdone by the delicious pizza!! Fair price as well!! I would highly recommend Savastano’s , give them a try you won’t be disappointed!!! 5 ⭐️’s“

“The best pastries and cannolis in the area!!! Don’t get me started on their cakes!! The absolute best!“
