    Peach butterscotch scone,  Nutella rugelach, pumpkin bread, salted caramel cookie
    Leo S.

    Really high quality hand made baked goods. So many mid level bakeries these days just resell other people's food and call it a cafe. Not Alchemist!!!! You can taste the love in their food. Vegan and gluten free options so everyone can eat! The scone was so surprisingly good and I don't even like scones. LOVE the vegan pumpkin bread. Can't wait to head back for more!

    Pistachio Cardamom Cake & Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip cookie

    Adorable and lovely small bakery in Canton - first off, it's named after the fan-favorite book, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho which is very cool. Also, the pastries & cakes here are AMAZING. The lady behind the counter was so sweet and recommended we try their Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip cookie. It was no joke one of the best cookies I've ever had. It was sweet, salty, and crisp yet soft within. The almond tea cake was moist and delicious, same for the pistachio cake. The only downside are their drinks are very mediocre. My boyfriend and I both got the matcha lattes and neither of us could finish them because they were so watered down and didn't taste very matcha-y. I'd definitely come back for the pastries, but not the drinks.

    Comfortable seating

    Nice spot. An interesting selection of baked goods and beverages. Nice people. Soothing music. A few savory sandwich choices on the weekends.

    My wife and I are visiting from California and after trying a few places we came here and I have to say this is the best coffee shop in town hands down. GET A SCONE! We had three different ones and each one was amazing! I'd post a picture of them, but they were eaten before I could get a pic of them! If you haven't tried this place out, do yourself a favor and give this place a try.

    First time here and definitely glad I made the stop. Tried a blueberry scone and a Nutella rugelach, and they were so fresh and so delicious. Customer service was helpful and friendly. Place was clean. The only reason I didn't go 5 stars was because it was on the pricey side. Still - it wouldn't stop me from going there again.

    Nutella rugula and apricot raisin rubella are HEAVENLY!!!!

    This local baker is a gift to our community! Every item is outrageously delicious. The ambiance of the place is very positive, calm and sweet. This is the perfect spot for "coffee and...". My favorite item is the raisin apricot rugula, to die for. Excellent service with a smile; I always feel welcome here.

    Great to see a bakery in Canton center! Congratulations to Ms. Hasan for starting this great addition to Canton lifestyle. The shop is bright with lots of space. The layout has a couple of tables and a counter to eat at with lots of room to add seating. I had a lemon scone. EXCELLENT! Pastries are fresh and created in the open kitchen. I am looking forward to more creative bakery selections.

    A luscious medley of pear pecan scone with chai glaze, linzer cookies, oatmeal cookies,  banana bread, almond tea cake

    See all

    Does it sell croissants, is there a selection and are they good?

    Usually they have the plain ones. Really good. My husband loves them

The process begins about three months in advance with a consultation, where you sit down with their talented designers to bring your vision to life. From that meeting, you're presented with several different flavors to sample. Pro Tip: have a few helpers ready at home when you receive the samples--you get more than enough for two people! For our wedding, we chose a Boston Cream Pie and strawberry combination, and it was absolutely delightful. Not only was the flavor incredible, but the design perfectly matched our cultural theme. The decorations were placed with precision, and it was clear that the team took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. One highlight was the "topper piece", which is cream-based and made for a perfect treat the day after our wedding. While many couples save their cake for their one-year anniversary, ours was simply too good to wait. By the third day after our wedding, the cake was gone--leaving us only with the tasteful memory of how special it was. If you are working with The Lenox Hotel, you'll benefit from their partnership with Dessert Works. And if you're not tied to a specific venue, but have the option to choose your own cake vendor, I can't recommend Dessert Works enough. They will make your wedding day both delightful and delicious!

The shop is set in a funky old New England mill space that perfectly matches what they do: warm, a little rustic, and full of charm. It feels authentic right away, like everything coming out of the kitchen is made with care and intention. The pies are the main event, and they absolutely deliver. I went in specifically for a large blueberry pie to serve at our Easter brunch, and I'm absolutely confident it won't disappoint. Of course, I couldn't stop there--I also picked up a few of the personal 5" pies to stash in the freezer, which feels like a very smart decision for future dessert emergencies The ready-to-eat baked goods are just as worth your attention, but you have to time it right--they sell out fast. I managed to grab a lemon raspberry scone for the drive home, and I think it's my favorite scone now. Perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and exactly what you want from a great scone. Between the quality, the setting, and the variety, this is the kind of place that works just as well for a holiday centerpiece as it does for a spontaneous stop. I'm glad it's not closer to home though--it would be very hard to achieve my desired weight goals it if were. Just be sure to go early if you want the best selection of ready to eat goods.

    Outstanding pies in all flavors! Our go to for many years for the holidays and parties.read more
