50 Best Bakeries in Rochester

“Best Greek food I've ever eaten“

“the best doughnuts danish soup hot dog pretzels soooo glad your back my wife got me doughnuts“

“Poorly labeled item led to purchase of an item containing my allergen. Very disappointing as it took a bite to figure out. The pb cookies are actually pb with small chocolate chips that are hard to see when packaged.
The item was given to my fiance instead who enjoyed it very much, with that and the kind offer from the owner to make it up to me I'd still very much recommend this location to people, it's a very fine local Rochester bakery and I will be returning.“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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!!!“

“Delicious cupcakes and frosted sugar cookies, all gluten free“

“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!“

“Cute little Macaron shop! Great flavor choices“

“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!“

“Fantastic pies, cookies, everything!“

“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!“

“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 ❤️“

“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!!“

“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. ❤️“

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

“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.“

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

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.“

“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!“

“I saw these viral fruits all over my Facebook reels and I wanted to try. We searched and found nothing. Then we came across this bakery and had to go and see for ourselves. When I say these were absolutely amazing and did not disappoint. My favorite was the chocolate raspberry rose and my boyfriend’s was the pear. We will definitely be stopping back again.“

“Wish there was an option for heat at home on the online ordering form. Even when I order ahead, I end up having to wait for them to put it together as there's always only one person working.

It's also SUPER cramped in there. Like I'm not sure I'd be able to fit my mobility aid, so I send in my partner, it's so tight.

Even when doing a BYO and paying extra, the toppings can seem stingy at times.

But the rolls are amazing and I love trying new icing flavors. Definitely give them a try, even if you aren't vegan!“

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

“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).“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“I want to let every one know this is my FAVORITE place to eat on mount hope. The adults are very nice and easy to talk to. I always get a bowl or two and dounts. The 1 time i went in for the second time that day i got the pleasure in see their son and he was very helpful. It was a very sweet moment when he jumped up to take my order i was very proud to see he wanted to help out when he felt it was needed i understood him and he understood me KEEP BEING A SWEET AND HELPFUL SON. My bowls are WONDERFUL and more then enough for the price. The bowls are fresh and so are the donuts I have been back 6 times.“

“Love this place. Wonderful selection of tasty fresh breads, pies, cakes, and cookies. Get there early in the day for the best selection, or order ahead once you have seen their selections. Parking behind the building, often scant. The back door is no longer open so you have to thread your away around to the front door.“

“Food was delicious!!! Staff was very friendly and working hard. Desserts are unbelievable- you must try. Go there!!!“

“Favorite bagel and coffee spot in Greece. It’s the same top quality and service that I remember from 20 years ago. Wonderful family owned business. Everything bagel is light and crisp and flavorful, can’t go wrong with the chive cream cheese“

“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!“

“Nasturtium decoration on the soup. Both were yummy.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“
