I am not a sweets or pastry guy by any serious stretch, but my visit to Oven Essence bears mentioning. Way back when, back in the days when baked goodies were made by hand, made with this thing called 'pride' and 'love', using things like 'butter', 'sugar', 'honey', 'buttermilk'.... Things that make baked yummies; yummy! Things long forgotten for cheap, corner cutting additives like: propylene glycol, corn syrup, monosodium glutamate, soy protein isolates, and the such.... A simpler time where what counted was what you put into your product, and what you got out of your hard work was exactly what you put in! This is real baked goodies at it's best! No frills, no gimmicks, no new age Mumbo-jumbo swaddled in fakeness. The breads, pastries, pies, cupcakes, scones are put together like a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air! The decor is lacking. There is not much for sit-in eating. Basic! My 5 stars are concentrated solely on product, personality of staff, and that should be all, because it is a 'Bakery'. They concentrate on baking, and the quality of goods show! read more

Came in to drop a lot of money on Thanksgiving pies and saw they were selling "Let's Go Brandon" sodas. Let's just say I went to spend my money somewhere else. Its sad to see businesses who don't understand which party is keeping their business alive during COVID. read more

Came in the day before Thanksgiving to get some pies and bread. Right away, I noticed a cooler of sodas labeled "Let's Go Brandon" and I immediately turned around and left. As someone who is a part of the LGBTQ community, I felt unsafe. It's sad that a local business would choose to express political views over their customers. Also, there were DOZENS of pies left (it was pretty late in the evening) so I can only assume they aren't great. Needless to say, I will not be returning and I do not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Wow- this place is a gem!! Tasty treats as well as savory morsels are full of flavor! I got a lemon mouse cup and my daughter chose a rainbow cupcake from their enticing selection. Reasonable prices and friendly service ensure I will be back there soon! read more

Always a great experience going to this Bakery discovered them when my bakery took a slight Hiatus due to the virus but have now reopened again. I go there now to this new bakery oven essence to pick up items that are keto friendly as I work with a nurse at night who is on the keto diet and it's hard to find treats for her but they sell really good variety of Keto treats. They carry of fruit cheesecake a brownie and also a peanut butter bar. She says they are excellent they are to-die-for they are so good. I sometimes grab the variety bag off the table when you make a donation and you give a chance to try something new that they make I have done this two or three times and I've actually enjoyed trying new stuff and then have gone back in and actually bought that new stuff I've tried but on the full-service side of the of the bakery. I have had this cinnamon rolls I've had their scones, croissants and cookies. Everything is delicious the people are friendly the lady who owns it makes the baking and her children actually work in the front as clerks to her customers. I went in this morning Tuesday not realize they didn't open till 1 I went in there around 10:15 it wasn't anything in the case but they allowed me to make a pre-order for 1 pick up which I did when I went back in to pick up I also picked up a bag that had a pecan roll in it a cinnamon roll a scone and a blueberry muffin so I'll get to try something new again and then when I like that I'll go back another day and buy them on the regular price it is definitely worth buying it's right on the Main Street in North Attleboro right on Route 1A right before the traffic lights at the corner of Elm Street and route 1A. Check them out read more

Very sub par desserts. Everything I ordered was really dry, dense and lacked flavor. Definitely didn't taste fresh

Definetly worth trying this place out! I got myself a coconut creme pie from here and while it wasn't anything earth shattering, it was still very yummy and im glad to get actual quality baked sweets from a local place. Family also really liked the cupcakes they got. Hours are also very reasonable, was able to catch this place in the late afternoon unlike the other one downtown. Hope to try some more stuff from here! read more

Stopped in here after lunch the other day. It is a cute shop. The selection was small for a bakery. We ordered six cupcakes in all different flavors from Vanilla sugar cookie, lemon cream, oreo, to banana bread caramel. While the cupcakes were tasty, they felt like they were a day or two old as they were very dry. I would give them one more try, if I am in the area because the frosting was good. read more

We went their during the COVID-19 pandemic and none of the workers were wearing masks. I later called and asked why they were not wearing masks and the person who answered the phone yelled at me, ranted something about politics and hung up. They have permanently lost our business. They obviously do not care about the welfare of their customers. read more

I came in on a whim in search of a dessert for my dad's birthday. I loved everything that I bought!! Delicious tiramisu and carrot cake!! I will certainly be returning. read more

Wonderful shop, it smells amazing right when you walk in the door. There's a great selection of items, from desserts, pastries, breads, soups, and pies. I got two fruit tarts, cannoli, and a pack of macarons. Everything was delicious, I can't wait to go back and try something else read more

Terribly over priced. Food appears old. Bad attitudes there. Tried twice, didn't like both times. Didn't look very clean.

We got my daughter's birthday cake here in March, and she did an absolutely amazing job! It looked and tasted even better than we ever expected. We loved it so much that we just got another cake there for our son's baptism party. Amazing again, beyond expectations! I can't say enough about how much we love their cakes. And they are so nice too! I had my 2 year old daughter with me both times when I picked up the cakes and they helped us carry them out to the car. Something else that I thought was really nice is that they had a donation table where they had breads that if you need you could take or you could donate for others. read more

See all

Used to love them. But I'm greatly disappointed in the attitude of staff and owner, around Covid restrictions. As a customer, you clearly do not care about our well being in your business, so we will not be back. There's plenty of bakeries in the area that do care about the well-being of their customer base. read more

This is a fantastic bakery. The food is great. They now have meals such as soups and chicken pot pie and Italian dishes as well as their freshly made baked goods. Love the family atmosphere. Most things are made on site with all natural products. Great place to visit. read more

My boyfriend wanted a pistachio cake for his birthday, I called at least 15 bakeries and no one made pistachio cakes. I called Oven Essence and without hesitation they agreed to make this special cake. The cake was amazing! Filled with pistachios and the most delicious buttercream frosting the cake was so rich and delicious, he was so happy about his pistachio birthday cake. I snagged a few of the pistachio cookies and they were amazing as well. I will definitely recommend Oven Essence to all of my friends. They will get all of my future business. read more

Oven Essence Bakery - a birthday cake with the words happy birthday aaron - Desserts Near Me - North Attleborough, Massachusetts

Hold on to your butts, NoAtt.....there's a FREAKIN' bakery in this town! I stumbled upon this sweet spot when popping over to the library (directly across the street). "Oven Essence? ....well, that sounds just delightful," I proclaimed whilst skipping across the street with my husband. We had been disappointed by so may other 'coffee spots' in town (bleh) and so our hopes were high for this teeny cafe. Enter onto a cozy shop with warm colors, swooning tunes (Sinatra on the day of our visit), and the aroma of bread and coffee - - - how could you NOT fall in love?! There are two cases of unique pastries (pecan squares, lemon squares, salted caramel banana bread cupcake, berry cheesecake, pumpkin muffins, etc etc etc). We ordered up a pecan square (delicious pie...in bar form) and a cream puff (with vanilla custard!) along with two New Harvest coffees (local and ground daily? you're wrackin' up the points, Oven Essence). It was all splendid, reasonably priced, and the service was divine. This is it, out spot in town. We'll be back most certainly. read more

Purchased a homemade Dutch apple pie for Thanksgiving....AMAZING! Been back a few more times since. The food is top notch and the owner and staff are helpful and friendly. My new happy place! read more

This bakery has outstanding almond croissants and eclairs along with a huge variety of other pastries. The staff is super friendly too. We'll definitely use them for all our baked favorites! read more

Drove by this place a few times and decided to check it out. I'm all about local shops and was looking forward to coming here. The shop is cute and small. Offers mostly a variety of cupcakes. They do have other baked good (mostly cookie type) and bread. Not a vast selection so don't expect to visit a full bakery. I bought a cookies n cream cupcake and a loaf of bread. The cupcake was good but it was hard. It was definitely frozen, probably because it was a day old. Other reviews state the same So probably the norm here but I will say it did taste good. Maybe lack of traffic is not allowing them to bake fresh everyday and reuse what they make. I hope they can advertise and get more traffic. Wishing them the best. read more

Ordered 3 chocolate chip cookies, and 4 cupcakes from this place through door dash. This place actually sent us FROZEN CUPCAKES. Even the cookies were frozen! Clearly their items are not fresh. 2 of our cupcakes had a "filling" and it was rock solid frozen on the inside. Only 1 of our 4 cupcakes were not frozen (I'm assuming this one thawed enough by the time it got to us). The other 3 were very very Cold and Hard. And the rock solid filling was undeniable proof that this place does not sell freshly baked goods. The presentation (such as frosting technique) was very unprofessional and the flavors were cheap and bland like a grocery store bakery. Go to cupcake Charlie's in Foxboro if you want Quality taste and good value for your money. They have professionally made, bigger and better tasting cupcakes. read more

Oven Essence Bakery is great asset to downtown North Attleboro. Not only do they have really delicious baked goods, but they give back to the community. When the pandemic first happened, they opened their doors and offered fresh bread and home essentials to anyone who needed it. We always order from them for special occassions and when the kids are in the mood for a sweet treat. It's always a great experience at Oven Essence Bakery! read more

For our recent 30 anniversary my children purchased the cake from Oven Essence, to support local. The cake was like a 20 pound brick and sadly tasted like one too. As soon as people started eating it there were comments about where was it made as it was so dry. The frosting was just ok, not whipped, not buttery, just a sugary dense mass. The next day my mom said that everything about the party was fantastic except for one detail, right away I knew what she was going to say and sure enough she said, "The cake was terrible". Apparently people took bites and threw the rest away. What a complete waste of a very expensive $95 basic sheet cake. The part that irked me that most is that this isn't the first time we've been there, twice before we have gotten some yummy cheesecake, so we are repeat customers. When I called to speak to the owner, to discuss my unhappiness with the cake, I left a message with her mother and never got the courtesy of a return call, that sealed the deal for this lousy review. I won't be back, my business will go to Whisk and Paddle down the street. read more

Great service and great overall bakery. My gf loves the cheesecake and blueberry turnovers

Stopped in mid afternoon Saturday, was not greeted, was not offered assistance only one other customer in the store. After reviewing the prices listed on the chalkboard, I was disappointed to see how expensive all of the items were. I left empty handed. As much as I'd like to see a new business thrive downtown, unless they lower the prices they will not last here. read more

This is one tasty bakery. We stopped in after dinner at Table at Ten. One word for you: ChocolateCake. Yes I know how to spell but it's that moist and delicious. The frosting and the cake come together to form a singular wedge of super moist awesomeness. You couldn't but more chocolatey in this chocolate cake. There was also a German chocolate cake that almost came home with us too, . Next time we'll grab that as well. The place is clean. The owner(?) was super nice as well. Treat yourself to something tasty, do it often. read more

Fresh baked bread! I went to the grocery store and they had nothing. I happen to drive by and see a sign outside Oven Essence. Sure enough, fresh baked white bread. Still warm! I don't know they always carry it, or if it's just due to Covid. I hope they keep carrying it. read more

Hidden gem in downtown North Attleboro! Creme Puffs are phenomenal! We always stop and get a baguette to go with our meals, where else can you get fresh bread in the area? Stop in and give her some business, we have to keep her around! read more

A-MAZE-ING salted caramel chocolate cake. My boyfriend and I stopped in to get a slice to split for dessert. OMG deliciousness. So moist and the frosting was perfect. That was last night and today is Sunday. Want to go back for another but they are closed today. read more

Delicious! Friendly! Wonderful experience! Will definitely return next time I'm in town!

So far so good! Stopped in today for the first time...and it won't be the last. Went home with a load of Italian bread...fantastic...and a frosted brownie. .you can tell these are made from scratch and with love..well done! read more

Great cupcakes and coffee. Enjoyed a peanut butter cupcake. Frosting was amazing and creamy. Will definitely pick up a few of these and bring them as treats to co-workers! Also tried some of their focaccia bread which they make daily... great! read more

This place is an all around win. Not only are all the baked goods out of this world, everyone behind the counter is soooo friendly! One of the days that construction was tearing up the street around the clock, I really wanted a nice scone before going into work. I walked in to Oven Essence at around 7:30, not realizing that they had special hours because of the road work... and was served with a smile anyway. This is the kind of business you want in your community! read more

Stopped here the other morning for coffee and pastry. I wanted to leave once I saw how outrageous the prices were. The lady behind the counter was nice, explaining that everything was "organic". I ordered some coffee, muffin, and a scone which were all so small for the price I paid for them. They were not enjoyable in the least bit. They tasted old and simply not good. I will not be back unfortunately. read more

I was really excited to come here BUT not a good experience. There wasn't any decaf hot or cold. He let me know he would make some so we waited but he couldn't figure out the grinder. My husband got a salted caramel banana muffin that wasn't baked thru. I got a toffee cheesecake that wasn't that great and just that was almost ten bucks!! Way less then expected, maybe that's why it was empty. Too bad, nice concept, poorly executed. :( read more

Best scones I ever tasted! The almond scone and cranberry orange scone was fresh and flavorful.

I was not impressed. I bought 2 cupcakes the chocolate cupcake ' s frosting was hard and the cake didn't have enough chocolate flavor and it was dry really dry. The salted caramel banana bread cupcake was lacking in flavor the frosting was barely holding up because it was too soft. The frosting had a good flavor. I found the cupcakes small for the $3.15 each and couldn't eat the chocolate cupcake. I will give it another try just to make sure I wasn't jumping the gun. read more
