23 Best Bakeries near Concord

“I love Verrill Farm. I'm a regular here. The chicken quesadilla is my go to Deli order and it is amazing. And the guac is deeeelightful. I also love buying produce and meat here. The quality is substantially higher than my local grocery stores. More importantly, the people are really friendly and they've helped me with special requests on multiple holidays. I'm really lucky to live near Verrill.“

“TL;DR on this review: Sally Ann makes the best BLT you'll ever have. You know the nostalgia we all have for a marinara your nana made, or a breakfast joint you went to as a kid, where they put hamburger helper in the hash browns and the waitstaff all knew each other & your family? Or a memory of visiting Chicago and having deep dish pizza for the first time - you probably remember exactly where you were when you lost your mind over how good it was. If there's only a dozen things in my portfolio of food nostalgia, the Sally Ann BLT is one of them. I hadn't been in the store in about 15 years - I grew up in the area, and only recently came back to visit. It's like walking into a place frozen in time - the proprietor Bill looks like he's aging in reverse, there's a polite, sharp kid working the counter, and a woman slicing bread who seems to know everyone who walks in. The BLT is just as good as it was 1.5 decades ago. It's so simple, but so perfect. The thing about simple food is this - if there's only 3-4 components, ya kinda gotta nail each one. Enter Sally Ann's BLT: -Bread: their default is a cracked wheat, so it pays homage to the traditional white bread purists associate with BLTs, without being, well, white bread. The crust is perfect; the bread of soft and peppery and still has heft to it. Their bread alone is worth a visit. -Lettuce: the treatment of lettuce in sandwiches is so underrated! They slice up their romaine (THANK YOU!!) - no one wants those full leaves of lettuce in a sandwich that slip out after one bite, leaving no crunch or green behind. -Mayo: not too little, not too much, and on both sides of the bread. Perfection. -Tomato: idk how Bill does this... but the tomatoes seem to always be juicy beefsteaks. Bite into this sandwich and you're bound to have some tomato juice running out. I'm not a big tomato person, unless they're quite good; a bad tomato will absolutely ruin a BLT. They're also sliced just right, so that the tomato doesn't overpower the sandwich - it's a supporting actor, after all. -Bacon: ok this is the real star of the show, and they nail it. It's crispy (who wants flappy bacon?!) without being brittle. There's just the right amount of it that you feel like you're definitely not getting gypped with too little, or overwhelmed trying to bite down on three inches of sandwich. -Bonus: add avocado - simply put, worth it every time, but not necessary considering how solid this sandwich is w/out it. Their lemon squares are also incredible (again, nothing has changed). It's a little pricy (you're in Concord, supporting a local business... expect nothing less), but it's such a luxurious indulgence. Simple things done this well are worth it, and theirs is a business worth supporting.“

“Stopped here for the first time and grabbed a coffee and scone, as well as bread to have with my dinner later. All were excellent. Had a great conversation with a local as well. I will definitely be heading back even though it is out of my way.“

“I enjoy coming to Nashoba. I like the baked goods, sandwiches. I do find the mochas very bitter and always feel I have to ask for more syrups to balance the flavor since it doesn't taste quite right when I order them. I kinda wish Nashoba would find an alternate mocha/chocolate sauce for mochas. The service is great and I do enjoy the ambiance and vibe of Nashoba.“

“I recently had a Blippi-themed birthday cake made for my son, and I was absolutely thrilled with how it turned out. The cake's visual appeal was breathtaking, featuring intricate detailing of Blippi's iconic orange and blue outfit. It surpassed all of my expectations.“

“I’m in town traveling from Missouri and stopped in. As a macaron baker myself, who has tried macarons all around the US, I’ve gotta say these are incredible! Hands down the best French macarons I’ve had! 10/10“

“Great place with nice drinks hard to find in Waltham and amazing desserts/snacks“

“Turned a get together into a happening. Everything was delicious. Chicken salad was yummy salad and desserts amazing. Prices were reasonable.“

“I happened to be driving through Westford yesterday morning and stopped here on a whim. I’m so glad I did! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with folks chatting at tables and others stopping in for a quick breakfast. I picked up a French breakfast muffin (nutmeg with cinnamon sugar) that was excellent. I also bought one fresh scone and several day-old scones that have been incredible. The cinnamon chip was a favorite in our house. This bakery is a great local spot that I look forward to supporting again!“

“I really appreciate an establishment that understands celiac disease (gluten allergy). I’ve tried their GF chocolate coconut (?) cookies and they are great. They also have an almond one. And today I was able to try a GF cupcake. The gentleman helping me was so understanding and just great.“

“Everything I've purchased here has been amazing! The pastries and deli items have always been fresh. The workers are helpful and friendly. Their prices are great compared to other bakeries I visit. I definitely recommend checking out LaCascia's!“

“This is the best cupcake shop ever! ❤️ Think no further when planning business or personal party. I have ordered here several times for a different occasions and they always exceed my expectations. They are always communicative and trying their hardest to fit the expectations. Cupcakes always look so magical and they taste delicious ❤️Masa“

“I was charged $19.75 for four macarons and previously wrote a negative review. Recognizing there had been a mistake, the owner reached out with an apology, explained the proper pricing, promised to train the sales clerk accordingly, and refunded my purchase due to the mistake. Thank you!“

“Delicious!!! I ordered a cake the same flavors as my wedding cake to celebrate my anniversary since our original bakery was really far and Bliss really knocked it out of the park. I love a good frosting and theirs is so good. The design exactly matched what I had requested as well. The online request form is easy to fill out and Kristen and Delia followed up immediately. I would order from them again in a heartbeat!“

“The ABSOLUTE BEST place to get a breakfast or lunch sandwich for $10 or less. The family that owns it is extremely friendly and they are always making the freshest bread, venting the smells to Walnut Street where I am always tempted to pick up a loaf!“

“I have tried many of and love all their freshly-baked bread products. Breads (sourdough, whole wheat, challah and others), baguettes, and bagels. And they sell related products like maple syrup, etc.IMO one secret advantage they have is that they are a sourdough bakery. A co-owner told me during my last visit that not just their sourdough bread, but also their whole wheat, cinnamon swirl, and others are sourdough (no sourdough baguettes yet).FYI, sourdough bread acts as a prebiotic, which means that the fiber in the bread helps feed the “good” bacteria in your intestines. These bacteria are important for maintaining a stable, healthy digestive system. Sourdough is also lower in gluten than other forms of bread.“

“The desserts are excellent! I ordered on a delivery app and I tried the tiramisu cake, strawberry cream cake, and Oreo Mille cake which was especially good. The desserts are lighter and a bit less sweet than traditional American desserts which is really a nice change. You can tell a lot of care and attention went into making these desserts. So good, highly recommend.“

“Lovely staff and delicious baked goods!“

“Cookies are delicious. I ordered Brookie, Reese’s, and plain chocolate chip cookie yesterday.In my opinion they are slightly better than Crumbl. I am comparing Crumbl’s semi-sweet to the Cookie Monstah’s choc chip cookie. I think this one is a better cookie overall. Both are great btw.Unlike Crumbl, they do not bake cookies fresh to order. They just give you what’s on display. That was the only negative.Good and fast service! I really liked the Brookie, Reese’s and the chocolate-chip one.Vegetarian options: I don’t think they have any vegan/non dairy optionDietary restrictions: I don’t think they have any vegan/non dairy optionParking: Plenty of spots.Kid-friendliness: Yes; great place for kidsWheelchair accessibility: Yes; wheelchair accessible“

“Got the sweet breads at 9am on Sunday morning, I'm not a Spanish speaker but don't worry ! They are extremely friendly unlike the other place in Waltham, this small corner shop bake them fresh everyday ! I didn't see mountains of baked buns piled , only small batches were made when I got to the store. I wasn't expecting much but the bread is soft and moist, what a nice surprise! And who doesn't appreciate freshness ?“

“My daughter LOVED her Barbie cake - exactly what she wanted. We’ve ordered many cakes from Kairo’s and they are always perfect. The staff is so kind - we are so lucky to have such a great small business in our neighborhood!“

“I was coming to Cape Cod for a family get together and placed my order for a gluten-free cake over the phone. They had excellent communication with me about when it would be ready to be picked up the day of the event. I had no opportunity to taste anything from their bakery before I ordered the cake. I am not gluten-free, so let’s just say I was skeptical about how it would turn out. It was their chocolate cake with white chocolate frosting. I was extremely pleased with our order! The cake was delicious. Highly recommend.“

“There's a lot of hype around Lakon and I wasn't going to wait in line. Came around 3 pm on a Saturday and there was no line and several types of croissants left, I asked which the employee recommended and she said the crème brûlée. It was an investment for $8.50 although it was large. It looked great due to being completely covered with the shiny clear sugar shell that's on top of traditional brûlée (burnt sugar). It was stuffed with the crème and was so large and hard on the outside that it was not easy to take a bite of! I managed, and it was quite tasty but it was hard to really isolate the croissant itself and for that reason I'd recommend going with a more basic option ($4.50) Small shop with friendly employees.“
