They came into New York City as a pop up stand downtown. I love bakeries. I buy $55 worth of baked goods because they are too enticing to get just one item. Bakery items are my one of my many weaknesses in life. They are splendid. Everything tastes perfectly delicious and fresh. The pies, the cookies, the muffins, it is all something that makes me wish these folks were in New York City. Then again maybe not because my weight would balloon because of them. This is how good everything I got tasted. This is how you know you have the makings of an amazing bakery. No Linzer tart? No problem. No Hamantashen? No worries. I will be okay without these items here. I truly am going to be excited when their tent rolls back up here soon. read more

I'm sorry, but Meredith's Bread products absolutely suck. It's beyond me why this crappy bakery has a chokehold on all NYC farmer's markets. It's time they get replaced by another vendor. Their baked goods have no flavor, are often stale, and their chicken pot pies are horrid. I just blew $28 bucks on two of them--the chicken was all brown meat and tasted old, there was NO gravy (totally dry) and there were hardly any vegetables. A disgrace. Why would anyone buy your crap when NYC has the best bakeries, possibly in the whole country? GrowNYC: it's time to find a new vendor. New Yorkers are sick of these subpar baked goods at EVERY farmer's market. Get lost, Meredith! read more

Meredith's Bread - Disgusting pot pie went right in the trash! - Bakeries Near Me - Kingston, New York

Meredith's Bread is still a favorite and everyone knows I am addicted. The ingredients are New Your flour and not full of preservatives and garbage like shelved food. They sell at the Farmers Markets or you can order online for delivery. I've never tried delivery but this winter I believe I'll give them a try. I'm looking forward to the Farmers Markets reopening in my neighborhood. There's so many items I still want to try. Everything is delicious. My mouth is watering writing this review! read more

You know how the Europeans stay so slim? They do not eat chemicals like the vast corpulent Americans! Yes, sorry, but cannot help being aware of the disparity of the weight of our nation when it comes to the amount of false ingredients added to foods and the toll it takes.... Okay, no more facetious ranting. Meredith's is a bakery that has a vast array of wonderful goods without the aforementioned preservatives. They also have gluten-free. I thank Marianne and Mercedes for introducing Meredith's Bakery on Yelp, based in Kingston New York. Their baked goods are available at many local Farmers & Green Markets in the NYC area, Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan and in Westchester County . Please eat in moderation and avoid preservatives! Thank you so much for reading. Have a good day! read more

NYC's Marianne buys Meredith's Bread scones, bagels, etc from a farmer's market and perhaps at other specialty retailers. But if you're in Kingston, NY, you have to come to their mothership that's open to the public on Route 28 to get on-the-spot/grab-n-go items. Spread over one big floor, Meredith's B. operates in the back making all their goods on site. The front part of it- which is only a sliver of this whole property, has one small wall with shelves holding various types of pastries, regular-size pies and mini (real mini) pies. Another small wall holds their sliced sourdough loaves, more carbs and Challah rolls-which I got. As gap fillers, there are delectable sweet treats such as these 'Chocolate Explosions' I picked up that resemble chocolatey truffle filling bonbons+ marzipan cookie base. There are also chocolate chip cookies, black & white cookies and so many other goodies. And their Guava Pastitas I didn't get my hands on got me curious. Though not sure what a pastita is- but the guava is calling me. It's a 10-minute drive from where we're staying and won't be the last. Service from Emma was pleasant and price was good on just my 3 items. read more

My sister's colleague gifted her and the rest of their colleagues some bread and pastries from Meredith's Bread, and after sampling a few, now I'm just left wondering how to get my hands on some more. * Sundried Tomato, Garlic & Basil Hearty and crusty, yet incredibly soft on the inside and packed with so much flavor from the sundried tomatoes, garlic, and basil. This was by far my favorite loaf, and I enjoyed it tremendously, paired alongside some tomato/marinara sauce. * Rosemary & Olive Peppery, earthy, and woodsy from the rosemary, and again wonderfully crusty on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. My sister and I both mistakenly assumed that this was made with rosemary and olive oil, that is until I read the ingredients and realized that there were actual calamata olives. * Apple Crumb Tart The perfect combination of tart apples and sweet cinnamon crumble, though sadly, the crust was weak and undercooked, I think? read more

I went here a couple weeks ago because I heard the black and white cookies were amazing. They really are. I got a couple other cookies which were also amazing. I went back today and got a bunch of stuff. The Caramel Explosions changed my life. I like to look at other reviews when I leave a review. I saw one from 6 years ago where some lady had a freak out about a biscotti she got at a farmer's market. She apparently got a refund but still felt the need to leave a 1 star review. I looked at her page and she has a ton of 1 star reviews and very few 5s. People like this are miserable and should just stay in their house. Anyways, I can't wait to eat the rest of this stuff. read more

This was a pit stop for us. It's a small place that has quite a good selection of gluten free baked goods and well as regular baked goods and a couple of vegan items. It was great to have gluten free strawberry rhubarb mini-pie. Everything was fresh. The gluten free black and white explosions were very tasty and our favorite. Overall they had the same items in gluten free as well as the regular baked goods which is great for kids who always have to have the same two to three gluten free things in a bakery. It's great to have the normalcy and variety. The service was friendly and the coffee was great too. read more

On our way to go snowboarding, we casually drove by this place and my hubby pulled a little u-turn when he saw the big "GLUTEN FREE BAKERY" sign. Could this be true? Could this be real life? Things working out for me so easily? Monday morning and it wasn't closed? Gluten free bakery while I'm on a gluten detox? Yes. Yes, it was real life. The bakery was very real too! When you walk in there's a little public access door to their small bakery. Side note: nothing small about this place! Huge back section of hard working bakers making the bread! No, really, they were lol! What I love about this place is they have all sorts of baked goods: muffins, pies, bread, cookies, you name it! They also have the gluten free version of most of those things as a smaller portion. The fact is: they have gluten free baked goods!!!!!!! I was over the moon with my banana chocolate chip muffin and my hubby was even happier with his regular chocolate chip muffin. We both got coffees (I'm still stuck with the decaf option but it was pretty good!) and he got their peru blend which he loved! All in all, amazing place! If you drive by, do me a favor and pull that u-turn! read more

This place is your go-to place for gluten free and vegan sweet desires! I was on my way home from Belleayre Mountain and came across this small bakery. Ordered a vegan blueberry bread for $6.

I also ended up getting the following: - Honey Crisp Apple Crumb Bread - Cranberry Biscotti - Classic Biscotti All are delicious and I would absolutely come back if I'm ever in the area! read more

Found this business through a local green market located around Jacobi Hospital. It's a pop-up shop with a a lot of selections with cookies and other baked good.

We've been buying their brownies and pies for few months at the farmer market in the Muscoot farm. We love their brownies. Gluten free and not too sweet.

Highly recommended if you are looking for a gluten free bakery and live nearby. read more

PEANUT ALLERGY WARNING with Black and white cookie. Please please please start listing the full ingredient list on your items and train your staff. My 4 year old daughter has peanut and tree nut allergies. Your staff informed my mother in law that my daughter would be ok eating the black/white cookie. 20 minutes after eating the cookie, my daughter broke out in severe hives, her entire body and face is swollen, her body temperature and heart rate are elevated - it's been 2.5 days on medicine and she is still not better. Further research on your website shows your black/white cookie contains lupine flour (which is in the same family as peanuts and can be fatally dangerous for some people with peanut allergies). My daughter consuming only a quarter size of this cookie has caused such a severe reaction and we are still on high alert to make sure she doesn't have difficulty breathing. Please please please train your staff and start including all ingredients on the labels of your items. read more

Came here once by mistake and now I am a regular. They do a really good job with recreating pastry staples in GF form. I have tried their scones, apple crumb cake, cookies, biscotti and bread and loved it all. This place is off The beaten path and not much around it (that I know about) but if you are Gluten Free and in the area, definitely stop by! It is hard to find decent substitutes when you can't eat gluten and this place takes a unique and tasty take on some basic products that I have lent been able to enjoy for a while. Must try. read more

Meredith's Bread has delicious breads and quiches. Their breakfast breads are delicious. I have had their Peach, Dutch Apple and Mixed Berry Breads. All of them are wonderful... And with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, the breads can not be beaten. Their breakfast quiches are equally good. My wife has a gluten allergy, and I thought that would be Meredith's downfall... The gluten free quiche was just as delicious as the regular quiche. read more

The muffins and pastries are always stale some even have mold. Not fit for human consumption.

LOVE Meredith's! Every time I'm in the Woodstock area I stop here. It's so nice that there are organic and gluten free options. The almond lemon blueberry muffin is something I must order multiples of. The cookies are all excellent, as are the breads. You can't go wrong with the raspberry almond bars either; they're simply addicting with a cup of coffee! read more

Meredith's Bread - The GRF/GF Lemon Blueberry Muffin is my favorite!!! - Bakeries Near Me - Kingston, New York

Bought Meredith's biscotti at the fresh market near Mt Sinai on East 98th St. The biscotti are the best biscotti I ever had. These were not hard at all, if you leave them unwrapped they will get harder. Choice of varieties. I got the raisin ones. Nice sized biscotti- about 6" long. Tender. Good flavor with a very slight hint of anise seed oil. You won't break your teeth on these like you will with other brands, and you dont have to dunk these unless you want to. Price is phenomenal $6 for 6 biscotti- 8 ounces. Would be perfect for gift boxes - or to eat the entire bag by yourself. I won't tell. ...... read more

Meredith's breads and pastries are absolutely delicious!! Last summer, I frequented often while visiting family as it was nearby and delicious! I even brought back gluten free goodies for my gluten free friends. Little did I know then that I was to become gluten free for health issues in the coming year and so I return this summer with gratitude for their many gluten-free options, both savory and sweet! Thank you! read more

Tiny storefront for selection of baked goods. Was hoping for some real quality pastries but fare was pretty standard, nothing too standout or special, a little greasy. Best thing was the strawberry rhubarb hand pie. read more

Their gluten-free goodies are heavenly! I dream of their GF banana chocolate chip bread. Hands down the best gluten-free muffins, cookies, bread, and pie, that I have ever had. Everything they make is amazing! I have had to eliminate gluten from my diet for years now, and I am always on the hunt for satisfying GF treats that can bring me back to the time I was able to eat gluten. Meredith's Bread has them!! I can't think of any other place that can top their gluten-free selection. One bite into their banana chocolate chip bread and I am brought back to my pre-GF days. I remember being shocked when I first saw the GF selection at their Farmer's Market booth many years back. I couldn't believe it! On top of it all, they are the nicest people. I recently rediscovered their site and their customer service has been delightful. I'm really craving the GF apple crumb muffins and GF lace cookies. Going to place another order now! read more

Their online farmers market schedule is not up to date. When we called for clarification, a phone rep said it's possible that the vendors can leave hours early or show up hours late or not show up at all. Our family did enjoy many of their products but because of the company's lack of reliability, we switched to another farmers market baker that is actually just as good and for some products much better. read more

Picked up a black/white cookie today from the Meredith's Bakery tent at the Bowling Green Greenmarket and thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice buttery cookie, smooth (not whipped) chocolate frosting, hint of lemon in the vanilla - just lovely. Other items I plan on trying: cheddar scones, pumpkin cookies, and the chocolate chip muffins. All look delish, and cost less than $3. $2.50 for a 6" cookie (Oatmeal and Chocolate Chip also available). Market open at Bowling Green Tuesday/Thursdays. read more

After searching for years, I finally found truly unsweetened jams. I am not diabetic. I simply would like to eat healthy, and also happen to find over-sweetened foods unpalatable. So I guess I'm just weird, but products made from cooked down fruits already have concentrated natural sugars, and hence already have more than enough sweetness, per my own, apparently wacko, taste buds. So it's disappointing to me that even in so-called health food stores, I cannot find jams that do not have extra sweetener of some form or another. "No sugar added" jams are typically sweetened with: - Apple juice concentrate --- No extra concentrated "unrefined" sugar please! - Stevia --- No gracias! I don't want substitute sweeteners added, even if they are "natural"! - Xylitol --- Poooey! - Erythritol --- (Retching sounds) So after years (err, I mean decades) of searching (and yes, I'm too lazy to make my own), I found Meredith's Bread's unsweetened jams. Finally someone that makes jams for sale that gets it. Fruit only! Nothing added! And they are fabulously delicious. I particularly love the Black Cherry, but all of the flavors that I've tried so far are yummy. Unfortunately, I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. But no prob. I order a bunch of jars at a time, and Meredith's ships them to me. Pro tip: It's not available in their website's shopping system, but if you contact them, they can do your order manually and ship the jams Flat Rate USPS (they will send you a Paypal invoice). It's currently a manual choice, because most customer's order fresh baked goods which need to be sent express, to keep them, err, fresh. Not an issue for jams, so you can save some $$. (Meredith's: please add this choice to your shopping cart! :-) ) read more

My 3 year old granddaughter loves their spinach quiche so much, she would eat it every day. It is awesome. All delicious, unadulterated wonderful ingredients. It freezes well too! My husband is very particular about his beloved pecan pie, as is my Southern son-in-law. They enjoyed Meredith's version of it, especially with a solo of vanilla ice cream. Another wonderful discovery Is their line of unsweetened pies and jams! So far I have tried the unsweetened black cherry and apricot mango jams. I really loved the black cherry jam, it was sweet enough without any sugar (which I need to avoid right now) to satisfy my sweet tooth. They also have an entire line of gluten-free products. Unfortunately I haven't tried them. read more

I get so excited when I see gluten free bakeries that I have to try everything! I ended up with two different loaves of bread -- both excellent and great for sandwiches and toast; a few mini pies (interesting flavors, crumbly crust); muffins (super moist!); and a cinnamon apple bread (not my favorite - texture wasn't great and it needed more apples/spices). Prices are reasonable and they have a lot to choose from. I'll definitely be back for some different things next time we're in the area. read more

Meredith's Bread may be the sole cause of my muffin addiction. It all started one Saturday afternoon while passing by the Kips Bay movie theatre. "A farmer's market! Please can we go??", I asked my friends. They looked at one another and said, "Just be quick about it." There were tents filled with fruits, cheese, meats, and... wait for it... a bread/baked goods tent. I had never seen muffin tops like these before. I knew I had to try one, so I bought the raisin bran. Each bite was filled with so many raisins! How could something so "healthful" taste so delicious? When I got home, I found Meredith's website and calendar. Year round muffins at Abdingdon Square (on Saturdays) and Tompkins Square (on Sundays)! SCORE! So, a few tips if you plan to try out Meredith's muffins at either of these locations. 1. Most of the muffins are gone by 10am at Abdingdon Square. You have to get there early to beat all the little ladies who buy ~20 at a time. 2. Are people even awake by 11am in the east village? Whenever you get yourself up and out, I'm sure there will be treats waiting for you at Tompkins square. 3. Get to either tent before 2:30pm. They set up pretty early and leave mid-afternoon. 4. Learn from my mistakes and don't be fooled into buying the "health muffin". It tastes really funky. You are better off enjoying one of their other treats. 5. Buy a black and white cookie and let me know how it is. It looks like it would be terrible, but I'm somehow always tempted to try it. read more

I have never been to Kingston, NY. For all I know, it could be a post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland, a cesspool of diseases and zombies just waiting to eat your brains out. Regardless, Kingston, NY is Shangri-La to me because it is the home of Meredith's Bread. Thanks to NYC's extensive Greenmarket system, I've had the luxury of enjoying MB's baked treats from any number of farmers markets all year long. Most especially, I've been able to eat my weight in their Chocolate Lace cookies. How do I begin to describe the Chocolate Lace? It's light and delicate (like lace, ho ho!), partially covered in delicious milk chocolate, and made from a batter of what I can only imagine is fairy's milk and magical nuts, plucked from Mother Nature's own personal garden. It is so good, so crisp, so sweet--one bite is enough to make you smile, one box is enough to make you drunk on happiness. God bless you, Kingston, NY for housing this repository of joy. read more

Excellent. I catch Meredith's on Thursdays right outside Columbia University at 116th and Broadway. So far, I've had scones, breads, cookies, and their little mini-pies. All fantastic. They also have excellent gluten free options! read more

Update: Still amazing. I started getting their cherry pies because they use REAL, fresh cherries in the pies and they taste amazing. The little breads are so good too, and finally tried the biscotti, which is more soft and chewy than the traditional rock-hard Italian biscotti. *** Everything I've had from Meredith's is top notch. The spinach feta pocket - usually a hit or miss item elsewhere - was fantastic. The crumbles are incredibly good, and my boyfriend loved the bacon cheddar broccoli mini quiche. Their crust is amazing, and they have a few vegan items as well. read more

I recently had Meredith's Bread for the first time at the Bowling Green Farmers Market. Her selection is what caught my eye, at first. Turnovers, pastries, cookies, muffins, cake. Everything! I bought a brownie with walnuts, mixed rugelach, and bread stuffed with spinach, feta, tomato, and honey. The brownie was amazing and not too sweet, which I liked. The rugelach was not sweet at all, which was awesome. The bread was very yummy and left me wanting more. All that for $10.50 really isn't all that bad. I can't wait to try some more of these yummy goodies. read more

We are such fanatics, that with the company's go-ahead, we might just design hats for fellow fans like ourselves. Hopefully, Meredith would be proud. read more

I checked this place out at the Columbia University Greenmarket. They had a large selection of gluten free options, both sweet as well as savory. After taking too long to decide, because so many of the options looked really good, I went with the gluten free blueberry muffin. The muffin was decently priced and was really moist and fluffy! It was flavorful without being too sweet. I look forward to trying other baked goods from this place! read more

I have tried and liked a few of their breads. This review is for the biscotti cookies I just bought at the farmers market in Tarrytown, NY. Do you know what a biscotti is not supposed to be? SOFT. Gross. It is supposed to be a twice baked cookie that is HARD and made to be dunked. I assume they make them soft so people who don't appreciate biscotti will still buy them. They are terrible. I threw the bag in the trash. Wasted my money on these awful cookies. 11/24/16 - I was promised a refund for the biscotti. Gave them my address. Still waiting!! Finally got the refund. But not until I wrote to them and asked about it. That should not have been necessary. read more
