The French mini loaves were perfect for the French dip and Italian sandwiches we made! Sorry no pic of the French dip. The staff are super friendly. Get there early to have everything available or special order ahead! read more

Annarosa's Bakery - Italian sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Salisbury, Massachusetts

This is my newest favorite bakery on the Seacoast! My husband wanted a latte and pastry on the drive up RT-95 and Annarosa's popped up on Yelp. What a surprise treat for the senses! There were a bountiful variety of vennoiserie from a simple croissant to fruit and custard filled puff pastries. And last but not the least, the breads!!! There are baguettes, olive breads, pain de compagne, and more! The closest comparison of this bakery would be Clear Flour Bakery in Brookline but only bigger. The owners are welcoming and take interest in their customers. There is no seating inside the bakery ample outdoor seating in the warmer weather. And for a limited time, they have fresh baked hot cross buns, so delicious. read more

Annarosa's Bakery - The bakery in its full glory! - Bakeries Near Me - Salisbury, Massachusetts

I've recommended Annarosa's before with five stars because of their amazing, and I mean amazing chocolate chip cookies and chocolate croissants. Today I'm here to let you know about the products they sell. Not sure if they're all so good because they only use these products during their baking, but my goodness. Let's start with the La Valley tomatoes. Ok I know what you're thinking, you can find these at Market Basket. Fine, but have you tried their fresh mozzarella ball? Trust me. I'm in love with this place. read more

Stopped buying from Anna Rosas because the sourdough walnut loaves where constantly burned on top, not just dark but burned you can taste the bitterness of the burned part. Also, when I asked for a lesser dark loaf the older women that works there got all huffy and puffy and was not happy that I asked for a different less "burned" loaf, she almost threw the one she tried to sell me back on the shelf and had a very bad attitude making me feel very uncomfortable. I used to spend between $20 to $30 dollars a week buying bread, but not anymore. Very dissapointed!!! read more

Overrated. Overpriced. It gets rave reviews because, frankly, it's the only game in town. There are no other bakeries (not to be compared to cake/pastry shops) in the area. It's good, but to pay $6.50 for one single size brioche or $5 for a croissant is a bit much. It's fine. I'm sure the quality is as they say. But if this were Europe, it wouldn't hold a candle. Best bakery in Salisbury, MA--sure. read more

Quality bakery in the form of a boulangerie as opposed to a blue frosting bakery. Pastries are a delight, inventive and sublimely tasty. Location is in a depressing & sad strip mall next to a tanning salon. I am sad for them ... but they do draw a larger pool of folks ... as even in the poor weather ... people were flocking in. The service was .. to the point ... with an air of snootiness that could not be merely ignored because ... though I was giving profuse compliments about the display ... the owner was perceiving me as a hick who didn't know what a Kouign-amann was. Lol They have something else quite good & unique for the area ... Bouchons au Chocolate. By far the best upscale brownie you will ever eat. I'd go there just for those & I'm not a huge chocolate fan ... but these were outstanding. The hazelnut bun had a tasty center but the bun part was sadly uninspired ... tasting like everyone else's cinnamon roll pastry dough. read more

Best bread around, hard to pick a favorite. Every loaf is a work of art, unique and delicious. The owners are dedicated, fantastic, and really know how to bake an exceptional product. read more

Another trip through the area means another stop at the best bread bakery around. I was too late to catch a warm pizza but I still love them cold. Their little crusty pizzas with crunchy burnt cheesey edges are my favorite pizzas. I was also lucky they still had a Kalamata Olive Rustica bread left. This place has limited hours so always check before making a detour. But, if they're open, always stop in. read more

Annarosa's Bakery - Kalamata Olive Rustica - Bakeries Near Me - Salisbury, Massachusetts

Visited recently and thought the three items I purchased were over baked. Nice store. People were friendly enough. Prices were on the high side. Everything just too well done for my liking. May give it another try.....may not. read more

My favorite weekly errand. The bread is to die for, and worth freezing! Only open three days a week, so make it part of your weekend schedule! read more

WOW! A real gem that you must try. It is hard to pick a favorite but the for me it would be the olive bread. It is phenomenal...and the pecan rolls keep my family very happy! read more

Olive bread and cranberry brioche excellent and great coffee too. Go early for best choice !

What a wonderful thing to look forward to all week during this time of quarantine. They are set up very safely for customers. Got there too early for baguette and plain croissants but found other fresh bread and fruit pastry. If you want a better selection, come at 10AM. They close at 5 now on Thursday-Friday. And at 4 on Saturday. read more

Annarosa's Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Salisbury, Massachusetts

Everything I've ever ordered was delicious. Not a huge selection so get there early before they sell out. The closest thing to the fabulous European bakery in the area. Service always with a smile. Notice there's outdoor seating in summer if you want to sit and relax. One of Salisbury's top ten bests in my opinion! read more

Anything we've ever had has been nothing short of AMAZING! highly recommend. you can actually taste the butter insome pastries, Phenomenal! read more

Amazing. These folks go to Europe just to study bread and pastry. And the offerings are spectacular- we are lucky to have such dedicated artisanal bakers. read more

Omg, Kouign Amman, what a treat! The carmelized crust and the inner goodness, blew me away. Mom and I shared a brioche! Lovely!! Salisbury is fortunate to have this bakery! It's bakery bliss!! read more

I am so happy a family member discovered this bakery...it is a gem. Great quality breads and pizza can be found here. Far superior to any other bakeries in the area. I've tried the French country, rye, baguette, pizza and apple walnut cranberry and have loved each one! So worth the half hour ride to get a fabulous loaf! read more

Annarosa's is by far and away the best bakery food around. I noticed some reviewers speaking about the mood in here that can be a bit curt and tense. I have definitely seen that here. One time many years back, the maybe? Owner? was very rude to me and it was my birthday which made it seem especially annoying. I told her at the time too. I since have been back times since. Why? They make the best food around. . We have no competition for the quality that they bring. Being a foodie , I guess I justify that some folks can't do it all. Extremely talented artisan bread and pastry makers can't all be personality people too. I am gluten sensitive so I appreciate the slow made bread and love the pastry For a special treat for my in-laws or myself. It is definitely a trade off. All I can say is that Picasso maybe never got called an asshole and maybe he was. But he was also a revolutionary artist. I don't let people treat me rudely and won't ever let anyone here do that. but I would rather tell them to be nicer and keep eating this food. read more

Eat before you visit, lest the smell drive up your total paper bag count. Because it will. There are bakeries that elicit deep inhalations, eyes widened and mouth corners turned skyward. Toasted gluten and burnt sugar will do that to anyone, right? And then there are bakeries that make your 92-yr-old great-great-gamgam mutter "Are you f***ing kidding me?" followed by a slack-jawed loss of her dentures. Annarosa's is the latter. Butter and crusts and fruits and such in a torrid array of baked wonders, reasonably priced if a bit up-kicked for quality and not nearly as much as you'll pay for dry cleaning. I'm talking to you, napkin-less lapel. And you, jam-slicked shirt sleeve from ravenous facial passes. And you, naughty zone, because this food will make you pee a little. The gratis - a savory prosciutto and seasoned creme fraîche pocket of pillowy brioche turnover; the bouchon - a black hole of chocolate that'd seduce any glass of red to join it in your mouth; the Jamaican rum cloud - ya know what? It's rum and pastry and love. Just trust in the name and eat it. Hell, even the plain croissant was anything but. Slathered in crumbs and sweating butter, I rolled out the door and in to congestive heart failure. Truly an incredible Yelp find, as pioneered by my breakfast Magellan, Miss Kara G. Good show, Annarosa's. read more

Unbelievably rude employee. I've only ever been in once before because of the odd hours. I walk in, there's 2 people ahead of me and then a woman off to the side. I don't quite know what she's doing but I'm clearly 3rd or 4th in line. I walk over to the glass case which is very small and right across from where I would be standing to wait in line. I have not walked in front of the other patrons. The employee yells excuse me and I'm thinking he's calling someone to tell them their order is ready. Again "excuse me", I look over and he's looking at me. I say hello he says this person and that person are in front of you. Now again, I haven't stepped pass anyone to look in the case. I say "I'm just looking". He says "but if you pick out what you want and 1 of these people pick the same thing I can't hold it for you". Who in the heck wouldn't know this, does this really need to be said?! I was dumbfounded, I stepped back into line and said under my breath "actually I don't want anything" and left. I wanted to send a private email but they don't have one and no contact info on Facebook where they have 13 friends. read more

The bread is definitely decent but they're hardly ever open. Aside from only being open a few days a week, they're constantly on holiday. Which is great. I love a successful hobby business. But if your family likes decent bread nightly, you need to look elsewhere. The baker seems like a really good guy. The lady...definitely not a "people person". Blatantly rude but that's the way of the world these days. It is what it is. If they're open and if you need bread, it's worth stopping. read more

Focaccia and sour dough baguettes are superb the best anywhere. Everything is superb.The only downside is they will not slice any of their breads. read more

Walked in the door ,proceeded to look into in the display case and lady behind the counter started barking that I was not in line. I turned around and walked out. never will I go back!! read more

This is a small artisanal bakery that makes extraordinary bread. They cut down hours after exhausting the heck out of themselves and needed to re think. It's a huge value for the handmade product they provide. If your looking for cheap, sugar packed dreck, go back to Dunkies. read more

Why is this bakery in business? They are only open 3 days a week and when their doors are open they make you feel as if your not welcome .... especially an older woman who seems to be the proprietor. I doubt I am the only customer they've lost because of her impolite demeanor! I won't lie, their bread is very good, very expensive as well.... but I won't give my business to an establishment that treats customers as if they are doing them a favor by selling them something. read more

Amazing! Anarosas has the best sourdough based bread around. No skimping and baked to perfection. I always buy more than I need so I can eat later in week (they are only open Thurs thru Saturday). Kalamata bread is amazing and the French Country has the right amount of sourdough flavour! Everything on the menu is delicious. Buy some high quality butter and enjoy their amazing bread! read more

We have enjoyed Annarosa's breads, pasties, and treats since they were at the Tannery -- maybe 15+ years. Their bread is consistently FABULOUS -- I really cannot say enough about the crunchy crust and moist/chewy interior of their levain nor the delicious nuttiness of the semolina and don't even get me started on the pastries. I read the comments about rude employees and am flummoxed -- we are the slowest customers on the planet, thinking do we want this or that loaf or both?, cookies and bread?, a cannoli and the panettone-like brioche?, what about bread crumbs and pizza dough? We leave with bags full of fragrant, delicious breads. No one has EVER rushed us or treated us rudely -- we have found everyone to be kind, knowledgeable, and patient. Did I mention we drive up from DC for this bread? The Zaletti alone make the drive back bearable. We LOVE Annarosa's. read more

Bread was ok, pizza was really good. Service and employees were very rude and unfriendly. We felt rushed trying to pick out what we wanted. I'm pretty sure customers aren't supposed to feel like an annoyance when purchasing your product. Some things aren't worth the discomfort. read more

Absolutely the best bread and baked treats around! I've never been disappointed here. I can't help but indulge in a sweet treat, the cookies and croissants are really amazing! read more

The most recent review by Don L, complaining about the hours and the enforcement of safety measures, only serves to point out what a wonderful bakery Annarosa's is. It is a small, family-run bakery that focuses on the quality of their product, not on high-volume production seven days a week. They are as diligent in protecting the safety of their staff and customers as they are in baking wonderful breads and pastries. I've always found them to be friendly and courteous, and to provide excellent service. read more

We have loved this bakery for so long. Whenever we're in the area these days, we try to stop in; it's THAT special! Have never had anything that disappoints even slightly because everything is prepared with the talent, care and love that you can taste. You know it as soon as you walk in. Don't miss it! It's located in a small strip mall right near Tom's Discount. Enjoy, with confidence! Really, you have to visit this one! read more

Annarosa's was better. Yeah, I know, I'm giving them 5 stars. Wanna know when they were better? Yeah, when they were closed & I didn't know how frickin' amazing their bread was. That's when they were better! (OK so I'm talking about better for my waistline but don't quibble) I'd drive by and see them there, all closed up after business hours. I'd think how much better that was since I cannot deny the siren call of bread. Sometimes at night I can hear the call, just trying to entice me. But I cannot buy the bread if they are not open. Then, God save me, one day they weren't closed. Nope, they were open. Doors wide open, Open sign shining bright. I practically squealed the tires pulling into the lot. I walked in and almost immediately went into a fugue state*. But I know I bought bread. When I came to, I had half a brioche roll hanging out of my mouth as I drove down the road. The box of cookies and sweet rolls on the passenger seat also couldn't be denied. I had done it. Gone over to the dark side and ate the bread. And it was good. It was so good that the next time I drove by, I did it again. And I'd even do it again, oh yes I would. So now I am sad, because I must stay away from this true bread love. For the sake of my pants. But I'll come back Annarosa's, yes I will. I just need to figure out where I put my willpower. I'm sure it's here somewhere ... or maybe I ate it that day along with a cookie :) *A pathological amnesiac condition during which one is apparently conscious of one's actions but has no recollection of them after returning to a normal state. read more

I'm hard pressed to even think of another bakery in the area that is close to the caliber of Annarosa's. I thought that I wouldn't love it as much when it moved from the Tannery in Newburyport to a new location off of 110 next to Tom's Discount in Salisbury, but I was wrong. The open space is nice and not nearly as tight as their old location, and you can see they have plenty of space to do what they do best, which is bake the best freakin' pastries in the area! Their croissants are a fabulous, melt in your mouth texture that isn't to hard and crisp. The bear claw is perfectly flaky with a yummy and delicate almond flavor permeating throughout. The breads are rustic and delicious and a good price. I haven't had a chance to try their deep dish pizza looking breads, but they were so ridiculous looking I almost bought one to eat at 9AM. Make a stop at this place for your bread or pastry needs, you will NOT be disappointed!! read more

Wow. Rosemary bread blew me away. I almost ate the whole thing on the way home and had to go back to get more for dinner. This bread is incredible. Perfectly crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. The herbs are perfectly distributed so as not to be overwhelming, but complement the bread. I could seriously eat those rosemary sticks for a meal 3 times per day. We also got the mozzarella panini and my only complaint was that it was a bit oily. Otherwise, delicious. A new place to add to my list for food stops in the area. read more

Amazing bakery. You can order just about anything here, breads, rolls, croissants, focaccia, little pizzas. It doesn't matter, it's all going to be good. You can't miss. The only caveat is that they keep pretty limited hours of operation. I think they may be closed Sun-Tues, but I could be wrong about that. A great place to stop for lunch, even. We split a focaccia with cheese (almost a deep dish pizza really) and ate out at the tables that are outside. This makes me see why people get excited about good bakeries. read more

This bakery is so good I drive there from Salem, past numerous other bakeries. Definitely try the rustica rolls, chocolate croissants, brioche, mini chocolate brioche, and excellent, excellent baguettes. Great chocolate chip cookies as well. The rustica rolls go great with a soup from Joppa Fine Foods which is right around the corner. Highly, highly recommended. read more

They could stand to have warmer coffee, but the flavor is outstanding - I mixed a shot of the almond with the rechargeable he french roast, yum. Nowx the reason you came here, the pastries! Hoooooollllyyyyyy crrraaaaaappp! The bread is outstanding and the cookies are killer... I could go on and on and on and on and on! They use REAL flour! Handmilled! Not processed. If you have issues with gluten, but aren't actually allergic (celiac) you can eat this without problem. If I lived here, I would never go anywhere else for bread. read more

All I had was a sticky bun. But it was the sticky bun of all sticky buns. I can't say enough about it. I want another. And another. And one every day for the rest of my life. I love you, Annarosa, yet I hate you. Off to the gym... read more
