I stopped in a couple weeks ago to give myself a treat in celebration of getting my second covid shot. They were quite busy for 2pm on a Thursday, but there was still a great selection of goodies to choose from. I enjoyed the raspberry bear claw and a HUGE, chewy coconut macaroon. All future macaroons will be judged against this one, it was so perfect. read more

Not sure where to begin - the incredible ambiance, the spectacular food or the charming staff? This place calls my name on a chilly day and I love to stock up on their goods to take with me on a week of travel. I'd give them six stars if I could. read more

HELL YES get your ass in to Nantucket. Forget about mass produced grocery store wonder bread and change your life to the real, fresh ingredients of the nan! I go to the location on Lyon right behind Martha's Vineyard and always have a loaf of their five grain, garlic parm, rye, polish rye, etc. etc. in my fridge. It reminds me of the real neighborhood bakeries found in Latvia and other travels to Europe. Worth the trip and effort for sure. Also have great muffins, croissants, I've even tried their bagels (which isn't their specialty) and the herb & sea salt was a legit winner --reminded me more of a true NYC bagel unlike the HUGE, too fluffy bagels found in Michigan--I've found NYC bagels to be tighter, chewy (in good way), more dense and a better accompaniments to a good "schmear" something from Russ & Daughters (if you don't know it, google it). As the saying goes, once you try Nantucket you won't be going back to those grocery store breads. read more

Co-workers from downstate highly recommend this place. We stopped in mid afternoon. Some things were sold out like the recommend trail mix bars. Still plenty on the shelves to take home. My kids are enjoying the granola bar. We shared a caramelized sugar croissant thing (can't recall the name, starts with a K I believe), the adults enjoyed that. We have a variety of croissants to enjoy in the morning which we are all looking forward to. read more

We flew in from Texas to visit friends. Picked up the the mixed berry pie. The crust was very flaky. The filling the perfect mix of sweet and tart. And it had the most wonderful crumble topping. Sorry we forgot to take a pic before the thing was gobbled down by our group. We made it a point to stop in for breakfast for our return flight home. The ham and cheese croissant was so good its the stuff breakfast dreams are made of. We did snap a pic of that before it was gone Sure wish we had a place of this quality back in Texas. We will make it a destination for sure next time we are coming to Michigan. read more

Favorite bakery in Grand Rapids! I recommend the almond croissant but everything is amazing!

I've had their buns before and they were excellent. Well I finally stopped into their shop to slam my face into the end of the bakery. The sales area is ridiculously small. It's a large space that's been set up incompetently. Any ways with everything stacked on top of each other, including the shoppers the inventory looked delicious. I ordered a pretzel and a cinnamon sugar crusant. They were both very good. The service was very friendly. Overall a 4 star review. Would I return? Maybe. Out of my way, but if I was in the area and needed buns then yes. read more

We recently got married and wanted to do pies instead of a wedding cake, and Nantucket Baking Company really came through for us! We had originally contracted another company in the area, but they completely dropped the ball and left us without pie vendor about a week before the wedding. We called around to see if we could salvage the situation, but everyone was booked up and couldn't deliver. Finally, we gave Nantucket a call and everyone I talked to from start to finish was absolutely wonderful. They took my order (even accounting for dietary restrictions of our guests), made sure that everything was just the way we wanted it, and had all of our pies ready the day before the wedding. The price was right, the service was fast and friendly, and I cannot thank them enough for saving our big day! read more

I absolutely love Nantucket Baking Company and make it a priority when I visit Grand Rapids. Their bread and baked goods are all delicious - I personally love the sourdough bread and the ham and gruyere croissants. During COVID they are letting two people in the store at a time and seem to be following all guidelines very well. I highly recommend Nantucket! read more

With outstanding coffee and beer I had high hopes for baked goods in Grand Rapids but have been disappointed. It was a bad sign that 2 of the people behind the counter did not know the difference between whole grain and multi grain bread. I guess I am too snobby. The bread is good but not great. But so far it is the best I have had after my second visit to GR. Their slicing machine created a mess. (I did not even ask for it to be sliced.) The bear claw and cookies looked great but were just okay. read more

Best pastries and bakery in GR! The only negative I could say is that they sell out of a lot of items very early and if you go there toward the afternoon it is slim Pickens! I guess that means everything is fresh for the next day! read more

Every experience and morsel I've had from here has been amazing. Their scones, cookies, and pizza are all delicious.

Nantucket Baking Company has become a large part of my weekend routine. My favorite thing to do here is stop in on Saturday morning grab a bialy for breakfast and then a loaf of sourdough bread for the week. (And if I'm honest with myself I usually eat a slice or two of that as well--but hey it is Saturday who is counting?) I've had a lot of different pastries and breads from Nantucket but the bialy has been my staple go to on Saturday mornings. The center is filled with cheese and spinach and the bagel dough has a slight buttery, garlic flavor to it. They are always soft and fresh. Another item I like to pick up here are their crostini. I like to grab these here and then head over to Martha's Vineyard and grab some of their tasting of cheese they have for a little snack. If you are in the mood for something sweeter their loaves of brioche make GREAT french toast, the nutella muffin is to die for, and their snickerdoodle cookies are just a few of my top choices. If you are ever stepping in and the line looks long DON'T walk back out. They are quick and will get in you in and out. read more

Amazing. Great customer service and amazing pastries. It smells amazing the moment you step inside. I will always go out if my way to stop by this place. Best in Grand Rapids!! read more

Just take all my money!!! This is one of those Bakeries you walk into to get a loaf of bread and leave with $30 worth of pastries. Love their Sourdough and obviously the pastries. read more

Great choice for freshly baked bread! Love their roasted garlic, parmesan sourdough bread and their chocolate/espresso cookies!

Just went to their new location on fuller. Stocked up on their granola bars, crostinis, and quiche!! I will be going back to try some of their AMAZING desserts! If you need freshly baked breads or pies, they have a variety already made in the store. Highly recommend!! read more

The best bakery in GR, it's so charming and allllll of their pastries and breads are amazing!

Outstanding breads, and Ive never had to wait long in line. My fiance comes to Grand Rapids for monthly business trips and drops in to grab loaves for our spare freezer. We like the cinnamon raisin, cranberry walnut, sesame sourdough and multigrain. All are excellent and freeze well for weeks to months. There are daily and weekly options but you cant go wrong with their selection. Also recommend the granola bars for those not on keto! read more

This review is for the service only, the baked goods here are delicious. I just visited the location on Lyon street and encountered extremely rude service. The woman behind the counter asked me "would you mind getting out of the way?" There are much more polite words that could have been used. I've never been so taken aback by rude service. read more

Subjective: I've been going to this bakery since I was in school and was elated to hear that they cater for weddings as well! We had the Vietnamese portion of our wedding in Grand Rapids, and our hard to please relatives were so taken with our raspberry cheesecake cake! Multiple people asked where it was from and some even asked to take some home which is VERY unheard of in Asian weddings. For the cake in particular- communication with Nantucket was easy as they were responsive by both phone and email. The cake itself was HUGE. The cake and cheesecake layers were beautifully contrasted, and the taste was light and fresh despite it partially being made of cheesecake. Even after the midday festivities, a small group of us went back to the shop for even more treats (cookies and macaroons) which were just as delicious. My go to cookies is the mexican hot chocolate, but the others are good as well. Objective: Date of visit: 5/4/2019 Previous visits: multiple Takes reservations/call aheads? yes Parking: lot parking and street Perceived capacity: very small, no place to eat inside Perceived atmosphere: casual Wait time to seating: n/a What I/we got: sheet cake for wedding, cookies, macarooms cost: $150 for the sheet cake Assessment: 5 stars! Consistently delicious with lots of delicious options and even gluten free options for those that need it! Plan: It's absolutely a necessity to return to this place every time I'm in the area. read more

I've been to Nantucket bakery twice now as it's a block away from my partners home. I was looking for something different and new to me. So far my favorite is their lemon cake! Yum! My second purchase was a vanilla cake with fresh fruit. This one was okay, but their buttercream is a bit overly sweet and thick and tbh there could have been more fruit or even a compote of the berries blended together between the layers with the frosting. The cakes themselves are so good! Great flavor, texture, moist not dry. They offer a wide variety of pastries and breads. I definitely look forward to trying more. Just one more reason to come to GR! Give them a try you will not be sorry! read more

I couldn't live near this place, or I wouldn't be able to get in and out of the door. Everything we tried made us want more. Wife said the scones were the best ever and, believe me, she is an expert. The cranberry walnut bread is an experience in itself. I bought only a half loaf and kicked myself for not getting a whole one. If we had had more time in town, we would have tried everything. read more

Fantastic gluten-free chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling and buttercream frosting! We ordered a cake for my parents 60th anniversary- only two of the attendees are GF, so we didn't tell anyone it was GF until later. When we told them, they were stunned. BEST CAKE EVER!! read more

Nantucket Baking - GF cake (smoosh on front was our fault) - Bakeries Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

We love Nantucket!! The butter croissants are a must for breakfast, toasted with a fried egg over it. Their cookies are great - they taste like those big gas station cookies you used to get wrapped in saran wrap, but elevated. Muffins are rich and flavorful, cinnamon buns and cardamom buns are so comforting and yummy. Danishes don't skimp on the toppings. Nantucket may be pricier than some other places but you definitely get QUALITY baked goods here every time. And vegan and GF options too! What more could you ask for? Highly recommend this place. Other reviews are right though, go early for the good stuff before it's gone! read more

You have to get here before 10 am to get their whole selection on the weekends. Had their pizza croissant which was the item of the day. Couldn't get over the buttery layers of the croissant. read more

My love hate (really just love) relationship with carbohydrates starts and ends here. You NEED to order in advance if you want a certain flavor pie, because the quality of Nantucket is not a secret. That being said, I've walked in at the end of the day and just bought whatever was leftover and was happy. They could sell crumbs off the floor for $1 and I'd probably buy. Peach raspberry pie, apple pie, pumpkin pie, granola bar, and the fresh made ham croissants in the morning are . They've been sold out several times when I've gone so I'd suggest 1. Everyone else stop buying them or 2. Nantucket please make more stuffed croissants that make breakfast sandwiches look like wannabe delicious mobile breakfast options read more

Excellent pastries. Descent variety a bit overpriced, but the best in the area from what I have seen so far.

SIL wanted a Michigan cherry pie while visiting from AZ. Picked up a cherry crumb pie since they were out of the two crust pies. Also selected an apple crumb pie. SO DISAPPOINTED. There was more crumb topping than fruit in both and the apples were not cooked....still crunchy. Will not ever purchase a pie from them again. read more

Holy mother. Go here. Your stomach will thank you! They even have vegan options! I got their vegan croissant and MY GOODNESS I drool thinking about it. Also their coconut macaroons. And their cookies. Just everything. Do yourself a favor and go to Nantucket, buy yourself a sweet treat (or three), pat yourself on the back, and thank yourself for showing yourself love today. read more

Usually go here for the ham and cheese croissant but occasionally get some bread or a coconut macaroon. The gruyere cheese really set off the savory of the ham and the croissant. Wish they made more so you could get one after 9:00 am. Would make a great lunch. Not many places in Grand Rapids make rye bread anymore and harder to find good rye bread. Highly recommend the chocolate coated coconut macaroon. read more

This is an incredible bakery! Their selection is vast, fresh, and delicious! The staff is fast and friendly. Highly recommended!

Nantucket has been my favorite bakery in Grand Rapids for many years. Their variety of breads, cookies and other baked goods are great! A favorite of mine is the challah on Fridays. Another great loaf is the ancient grains. All of them are quite tasty though. I'm especially happy that they have moved from their location on Union to around the corner on Lyon. It's a much brighter and larger space than previously. If you have the chance, talk with the bakers. They are very knowledgeable and friendly. One in particular has been very helpful and has accommodated special requests if I email him the night before. I have been known to take loaves of bread with me from Nantucket back to Chicago, as I prefer the bread here to that of any bakery I've found there. read more

Fabulous pastries and European bread. It was worth the 20 minute drive. We'll be eating through the whole assortment

We ordered our wedding cake from Nantucket Baking Company and I don't regret it! They delivered our cake, set it on the cake stand and added our topper for us. Everything ran smoothly, the cake was absolutely gorgeous, great pricing and not to mention YUMMY! My husband and I could not stop talking about how delicious it was. Thank you Nantucket! read more

Nantucket Baking - Wedding cake - Bakeries Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Sadly, I loved this place and they have great quality products, but the attitude they serve with their goods is very disappointing. I visited pre-COVID and thought maybe it was because they were busy. Trying to support local businesses in these times, I returned again today. I can say I will not be running back because the customer service is rude and thankless. Having lived in many affluent and hipster areas in the US, I must say Nantucket Baking Company won the award for being the least appreciative of my business. read more

Nantucket Bakery/Lyon Street Cafe is a cozy little establishment nestled right behind their sister store, Martha's Vineyard. Over the years I've gorged on various desserts (love the carrot cake) and fantastical loaves of bread. Most recently, a coworker brought me a freshly-baked, still warm, quiche to the office. Let's just say, it was the best day of my week. Hands down, they have the best Cafe Miel in town. read more
