    How did I find out about Hungry Ghost Bread you ask? The smell was wafting deliciously down the street as I was walking over to the car. We look up and see that there's a bakery and wander over out of curiosity. You can't see much from the window, but just enough to see a couple of people kneading dough and huge oven nearby. I'm not exaggerating that this probably is some of the best bread I've ever tasted. The only other time I had bread this good was in Europe. I had the battard but I'm sure its all good. Also tried their vegan cookie and the molasses cookie, all delicious. If you go to their website it seems you can volunteer or sign up for a fee to learn how to make bread here which I think is a great thing to learn especially as prices for goods rise. Worth a visit; absolutely addictive.

    Hungry Ghost was recommended to me by a Northampton local. They warned me to make sure I got there early enough because it's a closed when sold-out situation. I got there before they opened and loved that I got to sit amongst an incredible wildflower garden just outside their door. I ordered a buttermilk biscuit, a french batard, and a country loaf. They were warm, had an impeccable crust and I couldn't wait to get some butter on them all. I do wish they had some instruction regarding care of keeping the bread especially since they are provided in paper bags. But I'd love some technique on how to ensure softness. They're missing a star from me, mainly since even being in line before opening there were still menu items that weren't available and it was requested I come back for them. I'm not local to the area so doing so is definitely trickier and felt unfortunate since I had made sure to not miss out on their product but still missed out after all. Here's to the next time. I here those cowboy cookies is where its at.

    Buttermilk biscuit - good flavor but a bit hard to swallow

    Cute little bakery with an adorable entrance, name & logo! Incredibly delicious chipotle chocolate cookie! Oh my word!! A bit sweeter than I'd like but holy tomato! Twas good! The staff seemed friendly & actually volunteered information for further investigation of their bakery at the farmer's market. Nice spot! It would be a favorite if I lived in Noho!

    Walk in here and you'll drown in the smell of bread and freshly baked goodies. The chocolate chip cookies ($3 for a huuuuge one) and the coconut cookies ($1.25 for a small one) are TO DIE FOR. I've also had a loaf of challah bread which was delicious. Try their sourdough. YUM. And they sell pizza by the slice during their evening hours. *praise hand emojis* Basically, try everything here. Call in advance to secure a loaf or pop by early in the morning before they've sold much. Take advantage of the beautiful seating outside amongst their free growing gardens during the warmer months. Delightful food, beautiful breads, kind humans behind the counters. What's not to love?

    This is just a stupid display of skill. The ghost is full of bad asses!  Look at this thing!

    See all

    This is probably the best bread I have had in Massachusetts. Really good cookies too. Get the Colonel Buckwheat, it's phenomenal!

    Amongst the best bread I've enjoyed in all the world! Ten years ago, I thought it was the best bakery, and it just keeps getting better!
