We have shopped here many years. Healthy salads and sandwiches with very fresh bread. Marvelous ginger peach muffins. Friendly service

Beautiful pastries, I tried the soup and tuna sandwich, and they were pretty darn good, and a great deal! Next time I will get the quiche read more

Wellesley Bakery - Much better than that overcooked oily, and overpriced meat pizza next-door - Bakeries Near Me - Wellesley, Massachusetts

Good soup! It was a cold day so I stopped in for a cup of soup. This is a lovely bakery with quality sandwiches, soups, and baked goods! There are a few tables inside but it definitely is more of a take away place. The staff were friendly and efficient. I got a medium cup of lemon chicken rice soup and a ham and cheese croissant. The soup was full of fresh ingredients and delicious. The croissant was flaky and cheesy - what more could you want! Their special today was chicken pot pie, which looked wonderful. My office regularly gets lunch from here so I know they can handle large orders well. Great spot! read more

Very good croissants, sandwiches look good . Need to get there early as sell out. Owner seems nice and dedicated... The sales look excellent and the Tuna fish sandwich I saw someone chowing on looks high quality... parking difficult unless use town lot next door or library lot read more

I went in to this bakery to get a chocolate chip muffin, I asked politely and then she told me that she would up charge me because I didn't have cash. I then look to see that the muffin had walnuts in it. I AM ALLERGIC!!!!!! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!! Shame on the woman working. Never come here!! read more

I wish the decor was more upbeat and brighter - it seems like it's a bit tough to find this place. The choco croissant was a bit too sweet for my liking, though it's really professionally done. The quiche was more underwhelming, as there was minimal vegetable in the quiche, and in general felt too bland, too much egg, not enough flavor. Crust was also not as flaky as I'd anticipated. Willing to try out some other stuff here though. read more

Excellent muffin Horrible coffee - really should not serve such crap ambiance leaves much to be desired Fine in a pinch but would not return read more

Sought out bakeries in Wellesley 'hood and yelp directed me to Wellesley Bakery. Many reviews highlight the croissants and they did not disappoint. Visited around early afternoon during a weekday and had limited flavors left. Opted for an apricot croissant and apple pastry. Dough was so flaky and buttery, best croissants I've had an awhile. Apple filling was skin-on, which added to the softness of the apple while still keeping its structure. Would visit again! read more

I saw the review of this bakery, so I wanted to give it a try myself. I had the ham and cheese quiche and the chilled gazpacho soup, and both were good. The quiche was a bit on the dry side, but I think I was there near the end of their day, so it may have been better in the morning. Also, I brought home some of their croissants, but since it was later in the day, there wasn't as much to choose from. However, I have the feeling that I would have no complaints if I had come in the morning. Will have to try again another time. But the staff people were really nice and friendly and helpful. And I could tell that there were many regular customers coming in, because the staff seemed to know them and would chitchat with them. Sorta like going to Cheers! read more

The food here is UNREAL! The service is really fast. Highly recommend the roll ups, as well as their homemade fresh spring rolls.

Their food is amazing- blueberry muffins! Quiche and Soups and they are so sincerely friendly. The owner's life story is inspirational. This is a jewel in our town. read more

I've lived in Wellesley my whole life and Wellesley Bakery is my favorite place in town.

If you're looking for a delicious soup or healthy sandwich this is the place to go. read more

Yesterday I was in Wellesley and stopped into the Wellesley Bakery for lunch. I ordered a special they offer of 1/2 sandwich and a cup of soup for $7.30 plus tax. The total was $7.80. I asked for roasted chicken on multi-grain bread and a cup of chicken vegetable soup. The sandwich had two full size slices of bakery fresh bread, chopped romaine lettuce and tomato slices. There was over 1/4 pound of warm, freshly roasted sliced chicken in the sandwich. This was the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. I took a bite of it before I took the photo because I couldn't wait! They offered five or six different homemade soups and the chicken vegetable had a lightly seasoned tomato base with large pieces of chicken, peas, celery, hand cut carrots and mushrooms, corn and I think there was also zucchini in it. Have you ever purchased "Grandma's Chicken Soup" at Whole Foods? Wellesley Bakery's chicken vegetable soup was 100X better. I believe that they sell their soup by the cup, pint and quart. This bakery is woman owned and operated. The owners are extremely nice and they work very hard to retain your business. If you haven't been here before, stop by. If you are a regular customer, let others know about this bakery. They bake cookies, muffins and croissants on a daily basis. Everything they sell is freshly made and delicious! I'm going to be coming back here on a regular basis even if I don't have business to conduct in Wellesley. read more

I have been living, working and studying around wellesley it's been more than 3 years now. I have never found a place better than this for coffee and lunch! I'm a Starbucks girl, so coffee from anywhere else pleases me. Surprisingly, the coffee here is good, the croissant is perfection and the lunch is decent and with fair price. I'll definitely going to come back for soup and quiche! I finally have an option besides bgood. Love it! read more

Wellesley Bakery - Cozy - Bakeries Near Me - Wellesley, Massachusetts

Wellesley Bakery is one of the true treasures in Wellesley Village. Their French roast coffee and almond croissants have gotten me through many mornings. Likewise, their Caesar salad with roast chicken is the best you will ever have. Their baked goods case and soup and sandwich selections make it the best cafe in the Metro West area. Also, if you are lucky enough to be there while they still have their fresh Vietnamese summer rolls at lunchtime, grab one or two. Behind the counter are the nicest folks you will ever meet who serve every customer with a warm smile. Been a loyal fan and repeat customer the past 30 years. When they retire, I will retire. read more

This bakery is a Wellesley gem. Great place for quick, reasonably priced lunch. Delicious homemade soups and sandwiches.

Mouthwatering pastries and baked goods. Decent Thermos coffee. Soups and sandwiches. Butter, flaky goodness abounds in this small, friendly shop in quaint and charming Downtown Wellesley. . read more

Pretty ok -- if it's within walking distance and you're looking for a fresh croissant, they're not terribly authentic but it's nice to have a fresh pastry nearby. If it's a sandwich you're seeking you should really go to Linden or Tutto Italiano instead. read more

I've lived in wellsie for years and don't think I've ever been here. I was pleasantly surprise the pastries were wonderful and the service was great... I'll definitely be back! read more

So I got the turkey club wrap today, and it was just ok. The wrap itself I feel like is what made it pretty bland. I feel like I could make a much better wrap myself at home easily. Also got a cookie which was again nothing special, but by no means bad. The decor is really shabby, very little selection, and I found the place almost off putting. Borderline 2 stars, I would not make a special trip here for any reason... read more

A cozy little Cafe with a well-deserved, devoted local following. Wonderful food! The chicken salad had tons of freshly roasted chicken. Lots of yummy homemade soup options. Very friendly service. I'll definitely be back! read more

Updated review. I think about the croissants here all the time. Crispy, buttery, just yum. Just had the chicken noodle soup and it was delicious. I see why everyone buys containers of it to go. Will drive an hour just to get their pastries it's so worth it. read more

Wellesley Bakery - I absolutely love it here. Best soup ever. - Bakeries Near Me - Wellesley, Massachusetts

One of the best ham and cheese croissants in Wellesley and the super special chicken wrap is great too. Give the little guy a chance!

Wellesley Bakery is an absolute gem. Everything they sell is fresh and incredibly delicious, but without question they have the best soup I have ever had in my entire life. They have several soup options to choose from each day, and they're all out of this world. My personal favorites are the chicken lemon rice and chicken vegetable. They also have incredibly croissants, great quiches, etc. Plus, the team is incredibly friendly and helpful. Anyone in the area should stop by (and even if you're not in the area you should consider making a trip). read more

I've lived in Wellesley for 2.5 years and LOVE bakeries but I hadn't ever been here. There isn't much street parking, but there are lots just past the store (if you're driving by and it's on your right, turn right on the side street just past it). It's has a somewhat nondescript/rundown outward appearance and it's easy to miss, but inside is quaint. And the pastries were good! Around 10am on Saturday they were out of chocolate croissants, but I picked up an apricot croissant, plain croissant, and chocolate chip cookie. The croissants were decent, but the cookie was amazing! We'll definitely be back, although the hours are limited (closes at 3:30 on Saturday). Tip: cash/check only! read more

Please stop in and try one of the delicious scones, muffins, or croissants that are warm and tasty at our local Wellesley Bakery! I especially love the Pear Ginger Muffins!!! So......good!!! Coffee is good too!' Enjoy!! Their quiche and salad is great too!! Very service oriented !!! Love them!!! read more

I have lived in Wellesley exactly 18 months, and today I finally discovered Wellesley Bakery. What a special place. I called and told them this was my first time, and she suggested the roasted chicken sandwich on multigrain with all the fixings. I opted to the 1/2 sandwich and soup. The soup was a Chicken lemon rice. Wow. I am going to have dreams about that soup. I want to go back tomorrow. SO. MUCH. FLAVOR. It was so much food and very reasonable price. They offered to bring out to my car and I paid with my credit card from my car. I cannot be happier with the customer service and my lunch. THANK YOU. read more

Nice quiet bakery in Wellesley. Bring cash if you go. The place is small but has a few tables to sit down and eat or chat with friends. Ordered a chocolate croissant and was quite filling and delicious. They also offer other baked goods like muffins and other croissants and have coffee and sandwiches though I've only visited once, so I can't vouch for those. If you go on the weekend, there's a parking lot nearby that's free if parallel parking/parking on the street isn't your cup of tea. read more

Great soups and sandwiches, awesome pastries, reasonable prices, friendly fast service. What's not to love?

This place has the best sandwiches and cookies! Prices are also reasonable. There's not a lot of seating, but most people order to-go. The only thing I don't love is that it's cash only, but as long as I don't forget, it's not a big deal. read more

The location might deceive you, but the food definitely will not. I was sent to pick up soups from Wellesley Bakery and I was floored when I tried the lemon and rice one. It's so delicious, you can tell it was made with love. Definitely will return, the owners are lovely and I am happy to support their business. read more

Downtown Wellesley is definitely cute, and we therefore thought that there should be a cute little cafe too! Well this bakery is fine, there really isn't anything wrong with it--the service was great, she was very nice, made us fresh coffee instead of giving us old coffee, etc. But there just was something off about this place for me and I kind of thought they would have more bakery/pastry options than what they had. I mean if you call yourself Wellesley Bakery, the name sake of the town, I would think that you would have pretty big shoes to fill, and I don't think that you really actually filled them up quite right. Our coffee was fine and cheap which is awesome. Then we got their last pecan roll of the day around 2pm on a Saturday--I guess they don't stock up on too many pastries, and it was pretty good, the pecans especially, but nothing to write home about if you know what I mean. It did fill the hole in Matt J's stomach craving a dessert, but I found it pretty easy to avoid stealing pieces of his pastry which if it were that good of a pastry then I would have had much more difficulty ha ha Overall, this place is fine, but I don't know if I would venture back necessarily. I mean I would think there are better options in Wellesley? read more

Usually, I've experienced good roll-up sandwiches here, but today, I'm hungry, and it's because I couldn't even eat the sandwich I ordered here. Yes, it was $6.25 (a great deal for half a sandwich and homemade soup), but what's price if it's inedible? They were out of bread, so it was put on a stale roll-up, and though it was supposed to be tarragon chicken it tasted like chopped chicken with Lowery Salt -- nothing like Tarragon! Maybe it was an off day? I couldn't eat more than one bite. Other times I've been here, I've ordered the turkey roll-up or tuna salad, and it's been just fab. Service is very friendly, and as mentioned, the prices are very reasonable. read more

If you want to come here, you have to keep your eye out because the place is very small and unassuming. On weekdays they tend to close pretty early (around 3pm), so come for lunch! I've always gotten wraps here for takeout, and they are amazing. I always get the chicken wrap with avocado and bacon -- SO good -- and I love the sprouts in them! The cookies are also delicious. The chocolate chip cookies are huge and flat, both chewy and crispy at the same time. My mouth is watering just thinking about them... Ahh! read more

Great gluten free options. Definitely a case where you definitely like you're sacrificing taste or quality. Lots of choice from vanilla to chocolate to red velvet. Great "artisan" cupcakes, albeit a bit pricey at $4.50 each for singles. When we were there the entire place was full with a birthday party, but they still accommodated us. read more
