I stopped in for a breakfast donut or treat. No donuts today... I ordered a lemon poppy seed muffin and wow! It was moist, nice strong lemon taste, poppy seeds, but the Icing on top was the dealer changer ... I had a snicker doodle sugar cookie that was great crunch taste ... a little thin but the sugar cookie crunch was nice to eat vs. a soft type snickerdoodle I buy other places. read more

Best chicken parm I've ever had in my entire life! Got the sub to go and had about 30+ minutes between picking up the sub and eating it but it was still sooo warm and the cheese was still stretchy. I want to go back in time just to eat that chicken parm again. Had the parm with a bit of truffle cheese from my house which brought it to the next level, so I would recommend the combo if you have any truffle cheese at home! read more

The food is good, and the service is friendly. I wish it stayed open later. I recommend a pastrami sandwich.

Great baked goods, awesome sandwiches wait, staff is polite. Owners are great people.

Lived in Needham for 27 years. Excellent Canadian Health Bread. Good cookie selection. Never tried the sandwiches.

I have grown up in Needham and have loved Hazels. After college I moved out of Needham to Dedham. My parents still live in Needham so I still come and go through town. Well I'm currently 7 months pregnant and my craving this morning was Hazels. I went in got a sausage egg cheese on croissant, an iced coffee and a chocolate croissants. It was all amazing! Made me & baby very happy this morning! Will be coming back more often now I remember how good their food was! read more

I've gotten sandwiches from Hazel's before and they've been good sized but I got a Too Good to Go bag from them recently that included two different loaves of bread, a chocolate chip muffin and a blueberry pastry cornbread thing for 3.99$. It seems like a pretty good deal and the bread wasn't stale so it can be frozen. read more

Hazel's Bakery - a variety of baked goods - Bakeries Near Me - Needham, Massachusetts

A random corner bakery in Needham close by the Hersey commuter rail stop that should get more attention! An amazing bakery with quaint decor and wall hangings that serves sandwiches and desserts from cakes to cookies. We came here on a Saturday around lunch time and it was busy and I got a desperado sandwich and a peach muffin. The sandwich was jam packed full of goodness including lots of turkey, 3 pieces of crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, and thousand island dressing. There are quite a few different bread options, so I opted for a sub roll. This sandwich is well worth the cost and quite filling. The dressing did make the sub roll a bit soggy on the bottom, but other than that I throughly enjoyed my lunch. You can also grab a bag of chips for snack later and they also have a frozen section of meats. They also do custom cakes that you can call for any occasion. I had the peach muffin the next day and it was still soft, moist, and had a good amount of small peach chunks. I would highly recommend checking this place out and I can't wait to go back to try their other desserts. read more

Hazels is a classic Needham spot! I've been going to Hazels my whole life and have yet to be disappointed by anything!

Very good for the price too! read more

Hazels is fantastic. Kind service, amazing sandwiches with fresh baked breads, and their chicken pies are my husbands favorite. The blondies are addictive and I've honestly not had had anything I thought was just "meh". Get on in there. read more

I felt like we got some amazing out of this world baked goods and some that were average. I loved their messy seven layer bar and the cake we ordered. You can order a 7 inch day of and the cake was soft. I loved the frosting. I will 100% come back for the cake and I live 45 min away. The blondie and cookies were not as good but maybe it's one of those places that has something for everyone. The messy bar was soooooo good. read more

It's taken me almost 2 years of living in Needham to come to Hazel's and I completely regret that it took so long. Despite the lack of parking (the parking lot was completely full, despite there being only 2 other patrons in the place), this place is amazing. From the moment we walked in, my dad and I were in awe of the smells and sights. The calzones! The breads! The sandwiches! We had ordered 2 dozen cupcakes, which looked awesome (no frills - just basic cupcakes with frosting and a number in icing) and tasted DELICIOUS. They were also way cheaper than any other cupcake place around. We also had an old coupon for a free loaf of bread, which the manager honored even though they don't print them anymore. The bread - the Canadian Health - was AMAZING. OMG. Best bread I've had in a loooong time. My dad said this was the best sandwich shop/bakery he's ever seen and I told my husband we are getting sandwiches/calzones from here the next time we order. I can't wait to try them! read more

I haven't tried anything here except for the muffins but they warrant a 5 star review alone. The seasonal peach muffin is probably the best muffin I've ever had - it's super fresh, moist, light, and flufffy with pieces of real peach throughout. I live in the city but go out of my way to come to Hazel's for these! read more

Hazel's is Awesome!! Ordered a Choclate Chip Cookie Cake for a work party...it was freshly baked, decorated nicely and tasted even better!! I got So many compliments!!! This my go to bakery when I want quality!! read more

Got a birthday cake. Cake was moist and very tasty. Animal frosting was way too sugary and sweet. I was advised by Hazel's to get the vanilla frosting if I was looking for something less sweet and lighter but it was not. I would like to try the buttercream instead to see if that is less sweet as I mentioned the actual cake was very good. read more

Ohhhhh Hazel's. First off - I grew up a few blocks from here and when I worked in the city there it stood in all its glory between me and the commuter rail (this was before the Dunkin Donuts opened across from the rail). There was no reason NOT to go in there - they have coffee and their stuff is ok. Note: O-K. I have a hard time criticizing this place because its just so cute and has been a local staple for so long. Especially now that Needham is becoming bank-land its nice to have places like this still around. However - it isn't as great as it could be. Their prices are kinda high but I don't mind that - Needham is expensive and I don't mind spending a few bucks more to support my local community businesses. One star off for food. This is in regards to the breakfast items only. I haven't ordered bulk items (cupcakes etc) there since I was in elementary school so I cant really speak to that. They would also have the basic muffins, cinnamon rolls, etc. Sometimes they would be good, but then sometimes they would be stale. Consistency please! Once again, I don't mind paying a bit more here but I expect to at least have fresh items in the morning. Another star off for inconsistent service. For the most part everyone I have encountered here has been sweet, friendly, and willing to serve/help. I even know a few people that have worked here over the years and they all say they were treated great (anyone who reads my reviews knows that it is important to me how a business treats their employees). However - there used to be (I say this because I haven't been in the last few months and don't want to assume she still works there) an older woman that would work the counter and would be quite surly. If your having a bad day and cant muster a smile - fine. But please don't just grunt at me and sigh when I walk in. Considering it is a small business right near a dunkin donuts, you'd think they would step up customer service. In sum - I will still return. I have far too many warm and fuzzy memories of going here as a kid (and a young adult) to override the few negatives. I will also update my review if/when anything changes. read more

I've worked in Needham for a long time, and I didn't discover Hazel's until I needed an emergency birthday cake after a rather insignificant incident with a not-so-nice baker in J.P. (story for another time). The chocolate cake was very chocolatey, as described, but almost too sugary sweet for me. I think a kid would love it, but the birthday woman didn't finish her slice, which made me wish I'd duked it out for the cake I really wanted to get her at the other place. However, they have deli sandwiches made to order that were a nice change from the hefty Cowlicks and Mighty Subs options. I went with a turkey and provolone on their homemade round wheat bread. It was really good bread. This spot is completely no-frills, it has no seating and it's out in the middle of the burbs. Felt like we were driving to someone's house. But I'd return for a sandwich or a sub, or maybe to try a pizza or some of their other pastries. The cookies looked great. read more

I mainly go here for lunch during the weekdays while I am at work. Literally seconds away from where I work which is great. Parking lot only has room for a few cars, but there is also street parking. I've been going here long enough to know, that if I have a big order for a group of people, I should call ahead and have it ready for pick up. Going in at noon is busy and frustrating. Their chicken salad with cranberries & walnut sandwich on Canadian health bread is delicious- probably my favorite! I've had a few of their other sandwiches, and they are also good. Pizza is also great- cheese or pepperoni! They also have calzones and desserts. And all prices are reasonable! read more

Only vaguely remember going here...we just kind of stumbled across it. They have a black and white picture of their founders on the wall, and they have good fruit filled things. read more

I just ordered my kids' birthday cakes from Hazel's. When I ordered I asked if they could do anything special like make a cake with chocolate chips in the batter or a "funfetti" kind of cake. I was told they could do cakes with sprinkles or chocolate chips so I went with sprinkles on one cake and chocolate chips on the other. A few days later I dropped off some candy decorations that I was told could be put on the cakes. When I went to pick up the cakes the candies weren't put on. The nice lady working the counter apologized and, after a few minutes of searching, someone found my candies. The decorator put on about 4 small pieces of candy. I said that looked pretty sad and that I gave them a ton of candies so the decorator got to work again and put on a ton more and made it look great. The second cake was decorated with a lot of the candy toppings and looked very good. When I was rung up I notices that there was an extra $3 charge and $5 charge. I asked what that was for and was told it was $3 for the sprinkles and $5 for the chocolate chips. I was never told that there was an additional charge for them. I would have happily paid the additional costs. Hazel's prices are good and their cakes are absolutely delicious, but I was upset that no one told me that there would be an extra charge. So while the service I got was not great, Hazel's did finally get my decorating right and the cakes, as I said, taste amazing. I'll go back, but I'll just know to be more specific in my requests. read more

The staff are friendly and offer their personal favorites which are the best. Love this place!!! read more

Horrid customer service. I have never been to a place with such bad customer service in my life. My company frequents Hazels as their sandwiches are delicious but you would think as a loyal customer we would be treated with respect. They are always running out of their food by 1:00 in the afternoon ex: canadian health bread and meats. Just rude, rude people especially the owners. I would not recommend this place just b/c of the attitude you get from everyone in there. read more

My friend and I went to Hazel's this morning and ordered 2 breakfast bagels. We've been there before but it was before they remodeled it. The guy who made the bagels "Chris" came back with both bagels wrapped in aluminum foil. As he reached out to give them to us he switched the bagels as if he almost gave us the each other's bagel by mistake. Since we ordered the exact same thing we didn't understand why he needed to switch them. We get back to the station and decide to compare our breakfast bagels. We were surprised and appalled at what we found out. His sandwich looked absolutely delicious! He had 5 thick pieces of bacon on his plenty of cheese on top of a perfectly cooked egg and the bacon was even hanging out of the bagel. So I opened up mine. I had 2 maybe 2.5 small, thin strips of burnt bacon on mine and it seemed to be balled up in some dry hard cooked cheese on a partial egg like either it was a small egg or some of it was removed before it was put on the bagel. My friend ordered the breakfast bagels and I paid for them both. But when you order 2 identical meals and the quality of both are at opposite ends of the spectrum and you give the burnt nasty one to the African American customer on purpose because he definitely switched them in front of us, and you give the perfectly made one to the white patron, it looks like some of us aren't welcome at Hazel's. I won't be going back. read more

Truth be told, I miss the variety of coffee they used to offer--that was part of the fun of stopping here in the morning! However, I'll keep stopping by because I really appreciate the friendly people who work there, and how people say hello and hold the door open for each other. This is an example of a nice, local business I will continue to support because it feels good to walk in and out..and I notice. Also, it smells great! Thanks Hazel's :-) read more
