So! This is the best bakery I've experienced outside of France. Wait, it is as good as any bakery in the world, just has its own American feel. I moved back to the Akron area a couple years ago and love making the 20 minute trek to this fabulous place. First, the selection is incredible. Next, the quality is next level! The grains + flour + ingredients they use... and the resulting goodies. But somehow the place is unpretentious + fairly priced. Some of my favorite things so far: the buns (are you thinking "how good can buns be?" Well, you are going to find out), the oatmeal raisin bread (a dream, a balance of hearty + earthy + sweet... toasted MYGOD), the cheese stick (funky chewy bliss), and the dark chocolate spelt cookie. Can't wait to try everything else. Clapping + cheering for the bakers + proprietors, Amy read more

Located in a small building in Brimfield you will find a nice bakery for breads and pastries. The Bread is nice and hearty, crusty outside and wonderfully spongy inside. They have a good selection of breads including loaves, focaccias and rolls. The pastries are very nice, with croissants, danishes, cookies and scones. There is also a cooler with ready to bake quiches and pizzas. Service is nice and casual, although the service area is compact but they keep things moving. I also appreciate there is a rack with half priced day old breads. When you have really high quality bread you can still enjoy it a day later. Quite a surprise to find such a nice bread bakery in a somewhat out of the way place. If you are in the area well worth a stop to enjoy some great baked goods and stock up. read more

Woah, most everything here is unreal levels of goodness. I actually found out about this place because there were on yelps list of top 100 pizza places. While they do serve pizza on Saturdays, they are mostly known as a high quality bakery. That said, the quality of the pizza is of the highest order and they even have some refrigerated ones that you can take home to put in the oven. All of the loaves of bread I've tried from here are top knotch too. read more

Great local place love the sourdough bread, salted chocolate chip cookies also amazing

The bread is fresh and amazing. What I wasn't expecting was the yummy sandwiches and pizza too ! They were very helpful on what bread to choose very quaint read more

Oh my, it does smell heavenly when you walk in. Fresh baked bread. I had originally wanted to try their pizza, and come to find out they do it from four to eight on Saturday's only. They do have some that you can just pop in the oven, but that wouldn't have worked in our situation. We did take a couple of the baked goods. A blueberry cream cheese Danish, a pretzel, an almond scone, and a Sea Salt Foccacia bread. Everything was delicious! With the exception of the pretzel. Oh, that Foccacia bread, it saved our lives for two nights that we were in Canton. I would most certainly return if we are ever in the area again. I know we will, too. Must try more of their baked goods and the pizza!! read more

It was kind of a weird experience. We entered and couldn't figure out what was for sale. Just a very small case with a few bakery items. Employees just standing around talking. We bought a cookie and left, it was not good either. Sorry, just letting them know. read more

I believe Brimfield Bread Oven has the most unique pizza in NE Ohio. Ok. Well. Let's be honest, I can't possibly say that. I've had a relatively small sample size of pizza in Northeast Ohio compared to the plethora of shops; the sheer magnitude of the number of pizzerias in Northeast Ohio is staggering. That said, I believe Brimfield bread oven to be the best pizza that I've ever had in my entire life. Phew. RIGHT????? I enjoy, for what they are worth, all the styles Ohio has to offer. I can eat great examples of all the styles, depending on my mood. Full disclosure, I tend to gravitate toward New York style as a go to. But I've been known to kill some Luigi's or some Giannino's. Detroit style? Love it. Chicago deep -? No problem with that either. I'm just saying I get it. But Brimfield bread oven? The only way I can describe it is that it is entirely flavorful, but the crust for the win! when it's just crust and you keep eating? Yes, the crust has flavor. Actual flavor. It tastes like very good bread! There is no flop at all. It is breakthrough on the backside of it. And when you take a bite of it? It feels at first like New York style, but it's just a tad, barely noticeable thickness. That's just slightly bigger than New York style, and it ends in a crunch on the bottom. It is very nuance, but it is definitely different than New York style. And it is not typical Ohio style not even anywhere near the same amount of do that that would require. I'm telling y'all, you have to get to Brimfield for their pizzas. Brimfield bread oven pizza is super legit. The steak and bake is good. But if you want it even better? Which is how I would recommend? On Saturdays from 4 to 8 PM, they make the pizzas in the bakery in their oven made to order. That's how you should get it. If not? Do it take and bake and you'll be happy enough! Amazing pizza! And pretty much everything else they sell there for that matter. P.S. I have have Luca's in Stow. Luca's has very oily cheese and the crust had no flavor when I had it, which was only once -- two days ago. But I'm more than wanting to give that place several more tastes. Lol. Brimfield Bread Oven. You will not be disappointed. read more

This place is the best! Their products are all amazing. They offer so much for such a small place. Cookies, all kinds of desserts, pizza, quiche. And of course their breads are all amazing. Make sure to treat yourself to a pepperoni stick. So yummy!!! The staff has always been very kind and helpful as well. read more

Lovely local business, delicious pastries and sandwiches! My coworkers and I love to go on our lunch break. read more

You want a variety of freshly baked breads? This is the place to go. Be careful though because you may think you're just going to stop for a single loaf of bread but you will likely leave with an armload! read more

Every baked good is tasty from the first bite to the last. All items are fresh and made with love. You can really tell that the people enjoy their jobs in this establishment. The atmosphere isn't really lacking anything.....it's just that the area to stay and sit is rather small. But, they are working on it. Carb lovers must go. Also, their premade pizzas are fantastic and easy for me to heat up in my Ooni pizza oven at home! read more

My favorite bakery in Northeast Ohio! Incredibly friendly staff and absolutely delicious wood fired breads, sweets, and pizzas. It's incredible that this small bakery has some of the best pizza I've ever had, despite only serving it once a week (Saturday). If you want their pizza, call on a Saturday and place the order. I think the pizza pick up and dine in area (not open at the moment) is open from 4-8pm. They have a small but great selection of pizzas with the option to create your own. The quality of the dough is amazing. It's doughy but also airy and crunchy at the same. Their red sauce and white sauce are light and delicious. The cheese doesn't look super melted in the photo I've attached but that's just because I picked it up a little late. If you are in the same boat just reheat it a little in your home oven. They also have a seasonal pizza, ask them about it when you call! It's a hidden gem, and I recommend it to anyone looking for some quality baked goods. Check it out :) read more

Well I couldn't stay away for long..and I'm sure I never will. I swung by Sunday after church to try to snag a croissant and was pleasantly surprised to see there were still a few pastry options available so I grabbed a few different ones to try. THEY WERE ALL PHENOMENAL!! I'm a huger sucker for any type of croissant so of course I loved both the raspberry/chocolate and plain chocolate. They were the flakiest most delectable croissants I've ever tasted. What I was super surprised with was the raspberry danish. The large pieces of sugar really made a nice touch! The flavors were just on point with everything! The chocolate chip cookie was pretty standard. I usually like mine underdone but this was still a great cookie. The prices are very reasonable for the level of skill that it must take to make these beautiful pastries. If you want to try any of these make sure you get your butt there early because they WILL run out fast. Or you can utilize their online order service and order ahead the night before! I thought that was a super helpful tool to make sure you can get what you're wanting without risking it not being there. Next on the list to try is some fresh baked bread! read more

Wow! Everything here is amazing. Some of the best bread I've ever had. Lots of other tasty treats. Worth a drive!

I have only been here once at the recommendation of my daughter. I've tried 2 kinds of focaccia, a raspberry danish, and a pretzel croissant. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that everything they bake here is delicious. Absolutely, positively delicious. They bake in a wood fired oven and that must be why it's so good. If you ever find yourself in Kent, Ohio... you need to stop here. read more

Good people. Quality ingredients. Best bread products and unique pastries in the area.

I recommend calling in advance because the products so good and they sell out fast, I love the French baguettes, and sourdough bread, some of the best chocolate croissants outside of Italy read more

Every variety of bread, rolls, pizza, whatever, delicious! But more than that, warm, fresh, healthful. We go about once a week. I do wish they'd offer caramel pecan rolls though... read more

Made the trip all the way out here - and they're closed for construction, it looks like - but no message indicating that on their voicemail, (in fact it says they're open) - no sign saying when they might reopen... pretty irresponsible business practice. read more

This has the best bread and pastry! It compares favorably with the best French bakeries I have experienced. It is really hard to find good croissants but you can find them here. I often visited a French cooking school near DC and this is its equal--even though their pastry chef was a veteran of the White House. The service is friendly and competent. Generally the staff is made up of enthusiastic young people which gives the place a pleasant vibe. Who would have thought that the best French bread bakery is located in Brimfield! read more

Delicious wood-fired pizza. Cheddar biscuits are like Red Lobster's but sooo much better!! Two giant chocolate chip cookies, a loaf of sourdough ... everything was perfect. We WILL be back! read more

They have the best fresh baked bread I've ever had. Service is quick and staff is always friendly. The parking lot gets full pretty quickly if you go later in the day but if you go early you get the really good stuff. read more

I have had the bread and pizza and both are spectacular! Great char on the pizza and quality ingredients. No cheap plastic tasting cheese! used here. The staff is friendly and helpful. Can't say enough about how welcoming they are. Don't think about it just order a pizza from them. PS: I haven't tried the cinnamon rolls but that will happen soon! read more

Ordered pizza from here and they were AMAZING!!! The crust was perfect and you could tell everything was FRESH!

Omg delicious freshly baked breads of many varieties! Wonderful local shop with that small town artisan feel!

On a Saturday night, for my first visit to Brimfield Bread Oven, I ordered for pickup a Margarita pizza. The pizza was well balanced among crust, sauce, cheese, olive oil, and basil: nothing was too intense, dull, loaded or not enough--everything was just right. The generous portion of mozzarella cheese is what I first struck me and made me sing. The red sauce was tangy and sweet. The crust was soft and dry, maybe a little too chewy, and consistent from the edge of the pie to its center. The pizza wasn't soggy (hot, soupy, molten) at the center, as are some Neapolitan pizza. A nice light char colored the crusts edge and added good flavor and texture. I will definitely be back for pizza. The rewards program says to me that they appreciate and want to reward their customers loyalty. read more
