Im a bread snob! The artisan breads, sourdough, sourdough parmesan, polish rye! The chocolate croissant are a work of art. From opening that brass door knob you know its legit! read more

The service here is always friendly and I love looking at all the sweet treats and bread right as you walk in. I grabbed a cup of coffee from Lyons Street next-door and then I grabbed a bunch of different sweet treats. I got an almond croissant a frosted sugar cookie, a chocolate chip cookie, a coconut scone, and each of them were delicious. I also grabbed a spinach artichoke croissant, which was perfect for a little after lunch snack and with some veggies or soup would actually make a great lunch this place is a Staple of Grand Rapids for a good reason affordable and consistently delicious. read more

Both times I've visited my experience was great, everything was delicious. They seem to sell out of items later in the day. The strawberry danish was good, but the Nutella muffin was even better! Small spot with some outdoor seating read more

Super cute local bakery! I was on a walk in the neighborhood and stumbled across this place. The staff were super friendly and offered great suggestions on what to get. I ended up just getting a butter croissant. I wanted the croissant warmed up and was disappointed when they stated they couldn't do it. Other than that my experience was great and I hope to stumble across this place again soon! read more

Nantucket Baking hates to see me coming. I gazed lovingly at everything way too long before deciding what to order, and I ordered way too many things, and I left way too excited with my bag of sweet treats. (So, maybe they actually love to see me coming?) A great bakery will do that to me. I lose my ever-loving mind at a great bakery. I ended up leaving with several delicious goodies: a cherry Danish, a yuzu-cream-filled glazed donut, a Nutella muffin, an almond croissant and a chocolate chip scone. I wanted to try a little bit of everything that looked good to me, and share my sweet treats with my children, too. I expected the almond croissant to be my favorite, because almond croissants are usually my favorites. But the yuzu donut came in first place! I guess I shouldn't be surprised, because I love donuts the most out of almost any kind of food. The yuzu donut was citrus-forward, with just a hint of cream inside. The outside was soft and nicely glazed. My children loved the chocolate chip scone and Nutella muffin the most. I've raised scone and Nutella lovers. But honestly, I feel like you can't go wrong with anything at Nantucket Baking. There are so many things. Things like the things I mentioned, but also cookies, pies, quiche, quick breads, brownies, loaves of bread and lots more. The one thing that Nantucket Baking does not have is coffee or any type of beverage! They encourage you to go next door to Lyon Street Cafe to get coffee, which I did and I'll write about in a different review. I like that kind of brotherly love synergy, though! A bakery and coffee shop helping each other out is the kind of cooperative, collaborative vibe that I'm here for. Nantucket Baking has two locations in Grand Rapids, and this one is tucked into a cozy little neighborhood. It's literally surrounded by houses! You might think that the directions aren't taking you to the correct place, but yes, Nantucket Baking is indeed in the middle of a neighborhood. How lovely. read more

Super friendly, kind with yummy baked goods. They even gave me a free pretzel! A great first time visit. read more

A bread lovers dream. The almond croissant had a perfect crisp on the outside. Savory quiche had good flavor and the crust was perfect. Great selection to choose from. Definitely a must if you want quality bakery items. Friendly service to top. read more

Solid 5 stars! Croissants, quiche, and donuts were yummy. We had the almond, peach and Nutella croissants. Flaky crust, soft inside, and generously stuffed fillings. Staff were super friendly, patient and helpful. Maya and Marco helped us. Excellent service. Outside patio is cute with limited sitting. You can bring your pastry to the next door coffee shop. Street parking. Place can be busy. I highly recommend this place. read more

My daughter devoured the cookie butter cronut! We love the granola bars and get them nearly every week. The "day old" racks are great to pick up discounted items and they always have bread samples at this location! Love their polish rye and brioche. Ordered a custom cake - cookie butter - and it was delicious! Well staffed and friendly service. There is no seating inside but there are a few patio tables outside along the sidewalk out front. Next to Lyon Street Cafe, Martha's Vineyard and E.A. Brady's butcher shop. One way street parking is usually available and there is a small parking lot between Nantucket Baking and Martha's Vineyard. read more

Having been searching for a good bakery since moving to GR. Finally found it!! This place is the real deal. Bread is excellent. Foccacia pizza was excellent. Their pies looked delicious. Some of their baked items are also sold next door at Martha's vineyard. We will be back often. Service was great. So many options. read more

I went to Nantucket the other day after seeing everyone I know rave about them! The bakery is right in a cute little neighborhood, allowing for easy parking all around. I'm always grateful to places that open before 8am for those who start work at 8 like myself. The bakery isn't very large and I don't think there were any indoor seating spots but it was FILLED with the most lovely breads, pastries, and more. When I entered, the staff was greeting some regulars and the atmosphere was just so uplifting and communal. I spoke with Marco who was so kind and personable and asked me about myself while I was indecisive about the bakes. I learned that Marco is actually a local artist that you may have seen around town under the name Gumball Monsters. Both Marco and another worker helped to guide me toward the banana toffee muffin and the Dubai chocolate croissant. Both were absolutely incredible. I'm not a fan of banana normally, but the muffin really worked to convert me over. The Dubai chocolate croissant was still very flaky and the pistachio creme had a great consistency and flavor. Neither dessert felt too sweet and both were well balanced and worth the price. I am excited to go back and try the breads and other baked goods! read more

When I lived in Grand Rapids, I probably visited this bakery at least once a week. It's phenomenal, and it's a shame there's only two locations, both in Grand Rapids. On my most recent visit, I stopped by to pick up a couple of my favorite pastries: Almond Croissant ($4.25) - The Almond Croissant from Natucket is what made me fall in love with this type of croissant. It's exceptionally buttery, fantastically flaky, filled with frangipane baked inside that isn't too sweet and has fantastic almond flavor, and then topped with additional baked frangipane and slivered almonds. The consistency and location of the filling is carefully placed so that it doesn't impact the proofing of the croissant dough too much - A lot of other bakeries, especially in the Midwest, slice a plain butter croissant in half, fill it, and then bake it in half. This croissant is artistry and is exceptionally delicious. (5/5) Strawberry Croissant ($6) - This was the pastry of the month, stuffed with strawberry jam and strawberry cream. It's exceptionally rich, with the taste of butter. It's quite flaky with great lamination. The squiggle of piped white icing on top is very sweet and the croissant is additionally topped with freeze dried strawberry and gold flakes. The interior filling has two parts - a strawberry jam and then a red cream mixed with cooked strawberries. Neither are as sweet compared to the top icing. The pastry layers hold up well to the fillings, and doesn't get softened or waterlogged which is a miracle given the diaphanous layers. The entire croissant is filled by the way of several holes on the bottom and is very filling and heavy. (4.5/5) Both the pastries and bread Nantucket bakes are excellent. I've never been disappointed in anything they make here. Some of my other favorites include: the chocolate chip scones, the bear claws, the kouign amann. I never fail to visit when I'm in Grand Rapids. Heck, I make the 2.5 hour drive to Nantucket once or twice a year specifically to pick up pastries here. It's that good and it's far better than any artisan bakery I've found in Metro Detroit. Some tips: Go early if you want the best selection. They start running out of some items in the early afternoon. The main bakery on Fuller typically is less crowded and has pastries until later in the day. It's more industrial and less homey and comforting vs. this location. If you're not that picky with the selection, go towards the end of the day, like in the 30 minutes before closing. They start bagging up the pastries and will offer their last items 2 for 1, or even 3 for 1. Everything they have left over when they close gets placed in the crates near the front of the store and get sold as "day old" the next day. My absolute favorite thing to get day old are the chocolate chip scones. I honestly can't tell the difference between fresh ones and day olds. read more

Delicious baked goods! Had perfect kouign aman and cookies! Very inventive and friendly.

My favorite bakery in GR! I live 25-30 min away. I will drive this far just to go to this bakery! The people who work there are awesome and are patient and always will to give suggestions and explain things when I have questions about fillings or bakery items! read more

Staff was friendly and knowledgeable about their products. Bought a few pastries and a loaf of bread. Everything was very good. The almond croissants were extraordinary! read more

Stopped by Nantucket Baking after ChatGPT recommended it as having the best cinnamon rolls in town. The bakery itself is quite cute and all of the other baked goods looked amazing. That said, the cinnamon roll was a big letdown -- zero gooey center and very plain overall. Nicely baked bread, but if you're expecting a rich, indulgent cinnamon roll, this one wasn't it for me read more

Another win for Nantucket Baking. We ordered another cake, carrot cake this time! It totally blew me away. The icing was so good. The cake was moist and full of carrots. Also tried another loaf of sourdough! It was fresh and so tasty. Also, their cookies are huge and soooo good! I love putting my orders in online and just picking it up. Both times, it has been ready on time and fresh. I can't wait to order a new cake for my birthday, in a few months read more

Picked up a birthday cake here and turned out so cute! Dug into it last night. Got the raspberry cheesecake torte, which was delicious. The reason for the 4/5 is because the frosting was not the kind that I like. I know - so picky! I prefer frosting that's extremely light. The cake frosting they use here reminded me of the ready made stuff. I'll be returning soon though to try their other items. I'm sure I'll find something that I enjoy more. I purchased a bag of their granola that I'll be snacking on the next several days. read more

This place is absolutely fantastic. Truly an amazing experience. Staff is sooo friendly and welcoming. The whole place smells of freshly and carefully baked bread. Probably the best bakery I have ever been to. The price was insanely reasonable for what I got. Absolutely amazing, if I could rate it higher than five stars I would. Absolutely fantastic. read more

Nantucket Baking had me at garlic and parmesan sourdough loaf. I was going to stop there, but then I saw the multigrain sourdough loaf. I had to get both. I was going to stop there, but then I saw their brownies. I had to try one. And then I cut myself off before I ordered one of everything. How were my loaves and brownies? JUST MARVELOUS. This is the bomb bakery I've been looking for in West Michigan. I will definitely be returning repeatedly so I can--with great self-restraint--try one of everything. read more

Staff was nice and patient while waiting to choose what we wanted to get. No space to sit inside for those wondering. The danish was wonderful as well as the Nutella stuffed croissant! So good. read more

Very simply put the place has an amazing selection and super good people working there. Highly recommend.

Absolutely AMAZING! They did my wedding cake and our favors (chocolate chip cookies). Everyone was blown away! Jenna made the most beautiful cake for us and we couldn't have been happier. If you do anything before you die please try their carrot cake!!! read more

Dropped by on a Tuesday morning around 11AM and there was still a wide selection of breads, pastries, pies available. My friend and I decided to order the honey croissant (honey creme inside) with some sort of buttercream and sea foam on top and the kouign amann. The presentation on all pastries in the case was enticing, but I found the taste to be a bit disappointing. The honey croissant was a bit overly sweet for my taste. My friend and I agreed that we were happy we split as it might be too decadent for 1 person. I'm a big fan of kouign amanns, but this one was lacking the signature flakiness that I typically enjoy. The interior was nice and chewy but the exterior didn't have as much of a caramel sized sugar/crunchy texture that I was hoping for. Overall, the staff were very kind and the service was quick, but I'd probably try different pastries next time. read more

Simply the best place in town for baked goods. Tremendous options, lovely service and a cute little space.

Very pleasant little bakery, the pies were quite pricey and I was not gonna do it...but my daughter called me cheap (lol) so I bought the expensive pie and - well - it was seriously the best apple pie we've ever had!! The cookies were great too! read more

The quality and selection here is second to none. And with the friendliest staff to answer my inane questions about what the various European names of baked goods actually mean, Nantucket is my first choice for anything baked. read more

Prices are high but dang, you're getting some really really really good bakes! I live on the south side of town so the fact that I am willing to get up early and drive all the way here to get my confection fix says something. I had their croissants, berry pie, cookies, quiches wow! It's all so tasty, they make everything with love! They sometimes have "day old" items that are discounted. Don't be so fancy, day old items are great and you can freeze them and save it for later. I've got my pies ready for thanksgiving My only tiny little gripe is that they don't serve things warmed up. I ordered a warm croissant so that I could enjoy it outside in their patio area, but they said " we don't have a way to warm things up". I'm as confused as you are reading this. Nantucket please read this review and change that! read more

The chocolate raspberry tort is my favorite treat for every special occasion. They offer a variety of decadent hand crafted desserts, breads, and more. Whenever I go to Sprinkles for donuts for my kids, I stop into Nantucket for something special for me to enjoy, and whatever I chose to go along with the chi raspberry tort, always hit the spot! read more

I recently discovered Nantucket Bakery, and it's hands down the best bakery in town! Their mini quiches are a delight, and I can't resist their delicious pastries. The fun flavored croissants on weekends and holidays are a must-try. The staff is incredibly nice, and if you're lucky, you might snag some marked down day-old pastries by the window - just be there early before they run out! Highly recommend this spot for pastry lovers. They have tables outdoor so when the weather is nice it's such a cute place to sit down and enjoy your pastry! read more

Lovely little bakery! I went in on a Monday afternoon and there was still quite a selection of pastries and breads available. The girl working was very pleasant and helpful with offering recommendations. We got the coconut granola and the old fashioned donut. The granola is incredible! It's was the perfect level of crunch and slight sweetness that made it addictive. It's good both plain and with milk. The donut was a bit too oily for me so I wouldn't get that again but I will for sure be back for more granola and to try a croissant or cookie. Highly recommend stopping in if you want a sweet or loaf of bread/baguette. There's also a little coffee shop next door if you want some coffee with the snacks read more

Piggybacking off of my other review for Fat Tuesday - my paczki and baguette sandwiches order got sent to this location (no fault of the staff). Pickup was easy and the staff were very helpful and understanding. I absolutely love the interior of this location - clear display cases to see all the baked goods and it just has this "rustic" vibe to it. I ordered 4 paczki - guava cream cheese, raspberry, lemon, and chocolate custard. My favorite by far was the guava cream cheese. It had that classic cream cheese flavor with some mild fruity notes. The lemon and raspberry fillings were classic - sweet but tart. I loved the chocolate custard as well, it was light and creamy. The paczki themselves were so rich and sweet while being incredible light and fluffy. Very different (and better) than the standard paczki you can find in a supermarket. And the sandwiches! I picked up a salami sandwich (salami, garlic aioli, chimichurri, peppers and onion) and a brie prosciutto sandwich (brie, prosciutto, raspberry jam). Both were incredible! The salami sandwich had an amazing savory flavor and crunch from the sauces and veggies. The brie prosciutto sandwich was sweet and salty with a fruity aftertaste. Both were on a crusty baguette that had some serious crunch to it. Everything was fresh and delicious! read more

I went there to get stuff for easter and because I was hungry. I walked out with a peach raspberry pie, a gluten-free chocolate quick bread, and two muffins. All of this was less than $40! The service was fantastic and the options were numerous and that was on the day before easter! The pie, btw, was probably the best pie I've ever had between the sturdiness of the crust and flavor of the filling. Morning glory muffins were outstanding. I ate the mess out of that quick bread! Here's what you should do: drive out to this area, grab a coffee beverage from Lyon street cafe next door. Go get some meat from the butcher. Then come in this glorious, quaint bakery and order all the breads! read more

After a miel latte at next door Lyon Street Coffee, my friend and I wandered into Nantucket Bakery on a Saturday late morning. There was a consistent line, but the staff's attentiveness made it flow quickly and efficiently. I ordered the chocolate chip scone, which looked delicious from behind the glass box. It's big with large grain sugar on top. In the end, it tasted just okay. It was more dry than expected and the flavors muted. read more
