The Bread Shop
We aim to provide our customers with a local whole grain bread experience that allows them to feel connected to our community, family and the products that they are eating. Our business takes pride in using natural, local ingredients whenever possible and forming connections with local small businesses and farms who share the same appreciation for good food and great bread.

We can promise that you will prefer to enjoy our fresh baked artisan breads and pastries over the processed products that you can find at the grocery store.
Services
By using fresh ingredients and pouring skill and passion into each product, we're building the type of place you'll want to frequent. Lauren started baking at the ripe age of 10 years old when she received her very first Kitchenaid mixer. Her mom noticed the talent and enthusiasm she showed towards baking at a young age and encouraged her to follow her dreams.

I stopped in for the first time a couple days ago and purchased a loaf of multi grain bread. It was the best bread I've eaten in a long time! Cookies were delicious, they also sell breakfast sandwiches and other items.

This review is for the sour dough bread because that is the only thing I tried.Due to digestive issues I have had to change my diet. I was told that sour dough Bread was the safest choice.The week before I bought the sour dough bread at Whole Foods.It was nothing special.The sour dough bread here is absolutely wonderful! I will be coming her alot more often.The only problem is that I can't stop eating it!

Blueberry Muffins had no Blueberries in them. The cinnamon pop tart, way over priced for a pop tart. Not worth the hype!!!!!

I totally understand how they stay in business despite their limited hours - it's THAT amazing. They don't need to cater to the public's schedule. They are worth you catering to their schedule. Take off work, do whatever you need to do to get yourself some of this glutenous goodness ASAP

Got two loaves of bread yesterday - reasonably priced, fresh, and so good. They also had a nice assortment of cold drinks (I got a canned shrub). Can't wait to try the cinnamon rolls, croissants, and sandwiches!

Amazing cinnamon rolls - definitely the best around. My only frustration is that I've gotten there less than an hour after they've opened and they've been all sold out multiple times. Disappointing to not know whether you'll be able to get anything even when going early

Decided to try this place after just moving to Wakefield. Ordered 2 bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches and there were amazing. The best part was the crispy bread

I have been refraining from writing a review for a while, given that I really want a local place such as this one to succeed, but yet another disappointing visit today has "pushed me over the edge".
My daughter wanted a snack and very excited to try their cinnamon buns. After checking on their website, I thought it would be safe to assume they are open after 9am today (despite never knowing whether they open at 8, 8:30, 9:00 and what the product availability be at any given time). As of today (1/31/21), their website still displays a note about them being closed the week between Christmas

Words alone are not sufficient. The baked goods, the coffee and the service are all excellent.

Especially great are the cinnamon rolls, to die for. Get there at 9am when they open and they are still warm and gooey.

Also love the trail mix cookies, really delicious.

And coffee, their nitro coffee; very smooth.

Well worth the trip and likely line (moves quickly).

We came to try the cinnamon rolls and they're GREAT. They are nicely made and perfectly sweet & cinnamonyy, without being sickely sweet. A fitting drizzle of frosting on top complements the doughy part well, they are not inundated with frosting. This roll is also a perfect mix between the cinnamon 'roll' & 'bun', not too hard, not too soft-truer to the roll on the outside, then a softer bun style insde. To me they wonderful rolls, what I'm looking for when I get them and I will go back for more.
We also got the cinnamon poptart. The poptart is a real treat too. Cinnamon & sugar filled, larger

This trip I tried the multi grain loaf of bread. My husband said it was the best he ever had. It was delicious. Other favorites include the cinnamon roll and the trail mix cookie. They also have wonderful granola.

I told the girls this morning that the pies looked and smelled so good that I was ordering an extra pumpkin because I can't wait till Thursday. This is by far the most amazing pumpkin pie I've ever had. The crust is something special! The chocolate croissant I had for breakfast was equally as out of this world as the pumpkin pie. I can't wait to try the pecan on Thanksgiving. This Thanksgiving I'm thankful I found your shop! Thank you!

Ordered a loaf of French bread, some croissants, and a cinnamon roll the other day and they were all so good!!! They delivered them right to my door and everything was super fresh and yummy. I just feel bad that I didn't leave out the envelope with the tip sooner. I couldn't tip through their app and they delivered early, so I will just have to tip extra next time and leave it out sooner! Thanks so much, you are a great local business!

Terrible customer service. We have always loved going here for breakfast but after today never again! My husband ordered something's over the phone and then I called ordered a few more things to be added to the order. After waiting for the food my husband checked the bag and something was missing that he ordered. He spoke with the staff and the woman told him that he didn't order it when I know he did. She then began yelling at him and swearing and told him she didn't need his business. She then told him he should have ordered the day before if he wanted something special. We wanted

Stopped by today and bought a loaf of Cinnamon Swirl and one loaf of spicy bread with green olives. The latter may be made with rye flour but whatever it is, is outstanding; huge hit at home. I also bought Sourdough bread, which I'll be eating with the pea soup I'm making in the slow cooker.
I'm looking forward to trying additional loafs.

The French bread is very good. Cheese bread is supposed to taste cheddary throughout. This cheese bread had a small plug of Velveeta in one spot through the bread. The rest was like regular bread, although good regular bread. The blueberry muffins were great, but not even close to Jordan Marsh like someone mentioned. The tops tasted more like coffee cake crumbs.
All in all, excellent, just different.

I've been to the bread shop a couple times and the food/ selection is great. The reason I'm giving 3 stars is because every time I go in there the staff seems stressed because of the poor treatment I have seen. The women who works there in the glasses (I believe she is the manager) seems to always be in a bad mood. I've seen her talk down to, belittle and overall just be rude to staff which makes it an uncomfortable environment. Great food...manager needs to work on respect

Yumm. Love how they keep adding to their selections! Their focaccia bread was amazing. Muffins are delicious! So happy they now have bakery pizza and I hope they bring more (but can you lower the price a little?) High quality, delicious food and love supporting our local bakeries! Keep adding more yummy things please 👏🏼

This is the kind of local business you want to support! The Bread Shop is an unassuming little bakery and eatery that consistently turns out excellent yummy baked goods and sandwiches both sweet and savory.

We are totally addicted to their blueberry muffins. For those of us who remember, the Bread Shop's muffins are better than the legendary ones at Jordan Marsh (the long-held gold standard)! In fact, their blueberry muffins are so good that I call ahead to reserve me two to hold for me until I can get there. And they do so happily. They sell out quickly.

Love this place! Came for sandwiches just after they opened and was very pleased with the quality and freshness. I am a bread snob and was so impressed the the quality of the crumb on my sandwich I took home a loaf of the sourdough. Since the bread is fresh, it lasts much longer and is a good value for my at home toast and sandwiches.

I've been back many times for lunch and bread. I finally gave in today and split the giant cinnamon roll with my partner. The roll reminds me of the Scandinavian style sweet rolls my mother bakes; light dough with not too much sugar or icing. I love it because

I was browsing local bakeries on Yelp and was surprised to see this was fairly close to me. I had never noticed it before. I hustled down and it was around 2pm so not very crowded. The only drawback is most of the interesting stuff was sold out. The woman in front of me even bought the last of the trail mix cookies that I was dying to try. Boo. I ended up getting a cheese bread (amazing), a lemon lavender scone and a lavender cookie. The scone was awesome. The cookie was pretty good but wasn't a fan of the flavor. Prices were great for the quality. The woman behind the counter told me that

This is one of the greatest new shops in downtown Wakefield. The bread is divine and the cookie is massive! The price was extremely low for the fantastic food. Service was excellent with friendly workers and I recommend it to all the bread lovers out there.

YES!!!!!! Freshly baked bread (and pastries) right in Wakefield Center (Corner of Main and Richardson). Breads are nice and big and reasonably priced at $3.50 each. Looks like they now range from $3.50 to $4.25. Purchased a French and a Maine Grains Wheat and my only complaint is that they are both so delicious I could easily eat both of them in their entirety.

I really hope that this business makes it in this location as the area was really lacking a place to purchase freshly baked breads prior to their arrival. I have tried to visit daily since they opened. They are closed on Monday's
