As someone who stops often the parking lot and small Amount of tables could possible make you think you'll keep on going and stop somewhere down the line. Don't. The lines move quick, you'll miss excellent food because you won't find anything out of place. Plus the kind attention you get up front with drinks and ordering and questions to all the goodies answered. And then go sit next to someone and strike up a conversation. Another lovely visit, wonderful cuppa tea, met three neat people and completely enjoyed the corned beef special. Chefs Kiss read more

Rose32 Bread - Corned Beef special. Perfection of flavor - Bakeries Near Me - Gilbertville, Massachusetts

Absolutely amazing!!!!! The food, the coffee, the service. It's all great. Everyone that knows me knows I will travel for good pastry. This bakery is at par with Mystics bakery "Sift" which is top of the list. Parking is tight and this place is always busy so go with patience but I promise it will be well worth the wait. It has a cute rustic ambiance with indoor and outdoor seating. read more

You know you're about to have a good experience when the line is outside the door! Although the line was long, it moved steadily along. Once we got to the counter, we were overwhelmed with all the gorgeous pastries, breads and cakes! With so many choices, I had to bring some home. I did enjoy a French ham and butter on a baguette, which was fresh made and brought to my table. Specialty coffees had awesome flavor. I got carrot cake and lemon cheesecake to bring home and neither disappointed! They def need more seating because it was so popular! We'll definitely return. read more

Best bakery ever!! Everything they serve is perfect. Staff is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and friendly. read more

Quaint bakery and breakfast shop that is worth the trip! Service is fast and friendly with the option to order ahead for to-go orders or to dine-in on their outdoor patio or inside. They have a range of delicious breads, cakes, and pastries, tasty breakfast sandwiches, and great selection of coffees and teas. Prices are reasonable. The biggest drawback is the limited hours as they are only open Thursday- Sunday. read more

Wow, wow, wow. Such a fabulous place. Unfortunately, I only seem to be in the area when they're closed. If you can make it here, you won't be disappointed. The sandwiches are on point and it's a delightful stop in Gilbertville. read more

Really love everything about this place except the indoor seating and their hours . That's all. If you can fit this place into your schedule please do - it's lovely bakery with bright airy atmosphere and friendly staff. Makes me want to sit there and enjoy but it's quite inconvenient and cramped indoors. Outdoor seating is great especially with dogs but only in the summer. Strong espresso, good seasonal drinks- avoid the lemonade unless you want $5 Kirkland lemonade. My mother favorite thing on the planet is their apricot tart and I have to have an almond croissant from this place every so often or I get a little crazy . I have ordered my fiance a birthday cake here for the past couple of years and each time has been phenomenal. read more

Absolutely love this place! Just discovered this a few weeks ago. Everything is done perfectly! My only complaint is the parking area.... I've made the drive out there and had to leave because you cannot park anywhere except the parking area. People linger way too long!!! read more

Everything is fabulous! Love it all!!the quiche is especially good coffee and the pastry is amazing

Worth the 51-minute drive just to enjoy their lemon butter crunch cookies! Wish they were open more days and/or opened another place in the Easthampton MA area! Thank you Rose 32! read more

Everything is good here. From breakfasts and lunches to soups and cookies. I really enjoy the sandwiches there and especially love their specials. The sourdough bread is fantastic to take home. It is always busy there, and always has a line, but it is well worth the trip. The people are friendly and pleasant. read more

Always amazing! and the staff was great! I come from Amherst to eat there and just love their cheesecake!

Excellent once again! Enjoyed the Quiche with salad and great coffee, cheesecake to go along with my wife enjoying her corn chowder with the best bread. Wonderful staff! Nearby are many hiking trails like Gate 40 Quabbin a short drive. New trail along the Ware River in Gilbertville. Nice trail at bottom of Church st too! A few streets away is a covered bridge over Ware river. Support this wonderful business or you'll miss em when they are gone. World class breads. So many different types and best coffee options. Pastries are beyond words. Namaste read more

This bakery is wonderful! All the employees have a smile on their face and are very pleasant. It's a cute pastry shop that has many different choices. We tried the salmon Cristini with arugula and it was delicious. The egg salad sandwich sandwich with bacon was also great. Couldn't resist trying some of those pastry the cardamom bun and strawberry rhubarb tart hit the spot. I highly recommend stopping in and enjoying some of their pastries. read more

I was on the search for fresh sourdough bread and stumbled across Rose32. The cafe is adorable and the fresh baked bread is amazing! Make sure to get their earlier in the week as the last time I went they were already out of their white sourdough. I got the wheat sourdough that was great though! I drive over 30 minutes to come here and it does not disappoint. I recently tried their iced latte that was great as well. The coffee syrups are high quality. read more

Never in my life have I seen a place waste more plastic. They must have an entire landfill dedicated to them. The drink cups&lids for coffees, sodas etc., plastic silverware, straws, take out containers for desserts (even when you're dining in) was literally over flowing in the barrel, even the food is served on plastic sheeting. Food was good. Desserts were good. Cookies were stale. Plastic use was insane. Should be fined. read more

Let me tell you about the best sandwich I have ever had. Yes, you heard correctly! Rose32 is simply the best! I was in the area for work and searching for something quick for lunch. After driving by Rose32 and seeing their line out the door and across the parking lot, I knew this was the place to be in town. They offer an extensive menu of sandwiches, baked goods, and more, but if you are smart (like me) you will order yourself the caprese sandwich. Now I know what you're thinking - caprese sandwiches are boooooring. Not this one! Their fresh bread takes it to the next level - and beyond. Just do it, trust me! I can't wait to come back again next time I am in town! read more

Bretons and baguettes were ethereal. Easily the best I've had in the area -- so much better than anything in the immediate Worcester area and totally worth the schlep. Almond cake, black bottom cake, peanut butter cookies, strawberry Breton, and lemon crunch Breton blew my mind!! read more

Beautifully prepared, fresh and delicious food! Such a delightful surprise. The sourdough was excellent-- we brought two loaves home. The service was also fantastic. Don't miss this unique spot! read more

French bakery quality goods, friends from France give it their approval. Service is amazing, great ambiance. Should really be 10 stars.

10/12/2020 - Did the internet order ahead. They have a great process in place for ordering over the internet and picking up at the shop. Offerings are slightly limited but every single item is just as perfect. Seriously, these folks can do no wrong in my eyes. AND I believe they make the best baguettes around. I've gotten them all around and these are outstanding. read more

got the baguette. worst bread I've had. Tasted like baking powder. Tried to make it into garlic bread. not worth my time never again

I have always enjoyed the food here. I am a big fan of their sandwiches as well as their pastries. Favorites include the turkey Cobb and roast beef sandwiches. For pastries we really enjoy the Bretons which are spectacular and the strawberry rhubarb tart. The tart is a take away go to for picnics at our nearby lake house. While I would normally rate a place this good 5 stars, my recent experience was over the top and not at all customer friendly. I called ahead to order food. I was told that it would be 30 minutes. I arrived on time to find a line extended across the parking lot. They allowed one customer inside at a time which is understandable for safety's sake. What was not understandable was the fact that the line was for those who were ordering and those who are picking up. At any rate, I waited 45 minutes with a hungry 10 year old popping her head out the car window wondering where lunch was. I could have provided my credit card over the phone, walked into a pick up line and picked it up in 45 seconds, not minutes. While accommodating the customer at the point of sale is difficult during pandemic times, we would have appreciated a little bit more thought in respecting our time. We have not been back since. Would recommend and will return once the situation is more back to normal here. A take out line is critically needed regardless of a limited or full dining experience. read more

Pretty much the option for miles for breakfast and lunch. Not to mention their amazing take away deserts & pastries. They are a small staff so go east in the wait time & errors. It's totally worth it! read more

This is an outstandingly phenomenal bakery. The breads and other baked goods are as good as the best French bakeries. The service is impeccable. Ordering on line works seamlessly. 5 stars are not enough. read more

This was a surprise for lunch today, a beautiful Spring Sunday. What a gold mine in Gilbertsville. read more

Journeying to Hardwick I was pleasantly surprised to come across rose 32 bread. As I entered the bakery I was welcomed by very nice lady who pointed out the display case, the sandwich menu and the selection of freshly baked bread. I of course in my gluttonous ways and without a list ordered $62 worth of pastries, bread and of course an amazing roast beef sandwich. The sandwich was great. Freshly made on a amazingly chewy flavorful French bread. The pastries I bought were chocolate croissants, regular croissants, cinnamon buns and cheese danish . Amazingly tender, delicate and bursting with buttery flavor. Very satisfying . The breads were also amazing. Chewy with great flavor. Definitely the star in a sandwich and takes top lead as toast in breakfast mode paired with eggs and bacon. This is not something you expect in a sleepy town like hardwick. The owners definitely have a special gift and are rewarding us with their talents. I'm grateful and will be back to try more. read more

Rose32 Bread - Menu - Bakeries Near Me - Gilbertville, Massachusetts

Top notch, first rate, one of the best European style bakeries in the area. The locals say the owner is a gold star baking medalist from France, frankly what I've sampled makes that more than believable. There is no lack of butter in any of the items I purchased, the pecan tart, cheese Danish and croissant were all outstanding especially the cheese Danish. The croissant was one of the best I've had stateside, having said that Quebec and Paris still have and ever so slight croissant edge, perhaps attributable to quality ingredient availability. The cheese Danish was hands down one of the very best; the pecan tart would not take a back seat to any that might arise to the challenge. Simply put this is an extraordinary bakery with a zealous local following and definitely should be on your to visit list. read more

Oh this is just my go to spot when I want to pamper myself on the weekend! I love the breads and always buy a loaf along with a tub of raspberry jam! I grew up with a huge garden and was spoiled with fresh produce and fruits. My mom made delicious raspberry jam with our fresh picked berries and the jam here is just as good as my moms!! I've had amazing breakfast tacos( please bring them back!), and delicious ham and brie omelets! I love the chicken pot pie ! Even something as simple as a turkey blt on cranberry raisin tastes amazing here! In the summer I love a caprese sandwich and a latte. Always lines but they go fast My only negative is that they aren't open more days and hours ! read more

The weather was amazing and I felt a yearning to take Grammy on a road trip. I had heard about Rose 32 but hadn't ventured out that way until today, a gorgeous 60 degree January day. Man, I love a good January thaw and finding an amazing bakery, well, it's a total score. Rose 32 is now in my top 4 bakery with The Baker in New Bedford as number 1, Eat Cake For Breakfast in Brewster, number 2, Standard Baking in Portland, number 3 and Rose is in the number 4 slot. Actually, there is no real rank order, they are all tremendously impactful on my palate. Today was beyond my expectations. First off, the line was a little distracting but it's a good sign, right? I didn't realize it until much later that today was the first day back from their vacation. Well, it was worth the wait. I met a uber cool couple from Belchertown (who named that place, anyway?) and they scripted me what to order. Oh, I had settled little Grammy into a cute two top whilst I waited. Once we came to our turn, I got Grammy and we gazed longingly at the pastry case. OMGOSH, Kouign Amann, are you KIDDING. One of those, please...and that and that and that..Mom was so excited and totally over over ordered. We also ordered split pea soup for mom and salmon crostini to share. Oh and the coffee, I cannot say enough. Delicious, wonderful and absolutely memorable. It's also more cool that this place is nestled in a humble blue collar former mill town on the Ware River. LOVE LOVE LOVE... read more

Excellent pastries, friends are great. You can make an order online for pick up today before, or take a chance if they have it when you go. Staff is very friendly and kind and the atmosphere is very nice. You can eat inside or outside. read more

The cinnamon rolls are amazing! Everything we've gotten is delicious but those cinnamon rolls are a game changer!

Overpriced.. Products not that good. But only game in town, so .......... This is to complete 85 character requirement read more

Everything that comes out of this place is delicious. Yes, a little pricey for sure, but it's great for an occasional splurge. Please note that there is no indoor area. Bring a jacket if it's a cold day bc you will be waiting outside to order and for your food. I recommended the egg breakfast sandwiches- delicious! read more

What a gem! We were biking around the area and stumbled across this wonderful bakery. My husband had the salmon and egg sandwich and I had the avocado toast with cucumber arugula and lime. All delicious!! We also picked up one of their beautiful fresh baked breads to have with dinner. Friendly service. Unfortunately due to Covid at the moment they do not allow you to eat on the premises. So we got our coffee, and lunch to go and found a spot to eat overlooking the water. read more

Just got back from having lunch there and couldn't wait to write the first review! What a surprise to find a place like this in Hardwick! Rose32 Bread is a new little bakery and cafe in an old renovated garage. All of their breads are made right on-site in a huge round brick oven. My wife and I were commenting on how it had a very "Northampton feel" to it, when the owner came up and told us she was originally from California. Yup... very California feel. Modern and warm at the same time, something not easy to pull off. The food was great! I'm not a fan of the seating style, where there are a couple large tables shared by multiple parties, but that is such a small issue that it didn't matter. We'll definitely be back! read more

Awesome baked goods, bread, sandwiches and coffee! Love to relax with a bakery treat and yummy coffee on a day off.

Out for a drive around Quabbin Reservior on a rainy Saturday in August brought us to Rose 32 Bread, a delightful bakery/cafe in Gilbertville, that was given high marks by fellow Yelper, Don P. His judgement is well respected, and was spot on in this case. We had just recently eaten lunch, so we didn't sit at a table to eat. But I'd checked their website and their Local Loaf of bread, as they call it, caught my attention, as well as those wonderful croissants that Don P had raved about. I had to sample both. I tried the bread as soon as we got back in my truck to leave. It's described on the website as being made from 2 kinds of wheat grown by, and milled at Four Star Farms in Northfield, MA. The bread has a flavor reminiscent of a great sourdough bread, with a wonderfully chewy crust. I eat it as a dessert, with just sweet cream butter. Next time I come, I'll try their "Gilbertville Loaf", made from wheat grown in this little town of 2990 people, and ground to flour right in this bakery. It couldn't get any better or fresher than that. The croissants lived up to their advance billing. They were soft and buttery inside, slightly chewy outside. I'm not well versed in croissant "language", but these were everything our fellow Yelper claimed them to be. Another shout out to you, Don, for making me aware of this bakery that I've so often driven by in the past. It's a wonderful cafe, a true "hidden gem", in every sense of the phrase, in a very small town, where you'd not expect this level of quality. I'll return soon! read more
