Jane and I took professional level training from Certified Master Baker Jeffrey Hamelman at the King Arthur Baking School. At first it was just a hobby level of interest. But bread baking became an obsession as it struck home with memories of very wet and slack Italian style doughs that I knew as a child.
When the doors open it is the melting pot of people that come from many backgrounds, ages, and distances both local and afar that define our shop. On any given Saturday morning you can sometimes hear many different languages being spoken. Bread is so rich in history and so fundamental to life for thousands of years.

Great bread
Very clean.
Owner very friendly and informative.
Would have given 5 stars, but, because we had an unpleasant experience with a rude, unfriendly man, who was the only employee there (no customers in store at that time) I only give it a 4 star rating.
It was a Friday afternoon around 5pm.
Great product......lousy employee!

Superb. They are really passionate about their craft and the bread speaks for itself. I also love the pastries, especially the fruit ones. The line moves very quickly.

By far the best, most amazingly delicious and fresh bread bakery I've found. From Portland, ME to Braintree, MA and as far west as Worcester, my travels in search of baked goods take me far and this place is the best bakery I've found. The best. I wish I could give it 6 stars! It's not a place for frosted cupcakes or apple pies. It is strictly bread, croissants, small artisan pizzas (the most amazing pizzas), kouign-amanns, and the like. You gotta go early before they sell out of the good stuff. Alsi; double check the day/time before you go (they're not open every day).

Simply put... the best baguette I have had in YEARS. Very authentic, I have to think back to my youth in New York city to remember having one this good. Puts anything at the supermarket to absolute shame! I can't wait to try some more of their breads

Today I stopped in to inquire about what this bakery had to offer. Before I could ask any questions or make a purchase I was treated so Rudely by the man behind the counter that I left & will never return or recommend this place. Worst customer service skills i have encountered by a retail establishment. I will surely tell my friends & family.

Amazing bread, rude employee. Is eating great bread worth the most uncomfortable 5 minutes of my weekend?

I recently moved to town call and heard great things about this bread shop. People aren't wrong. The bread is amazing and it's becoming a weekend tradition to figure out what we can make for meals with the loaf we picked up.

What's weird is I've noticed on several occasions, the tall woman behind the counter being curt, and making the atmosphere awkward. It had never been directed toward me, but makes the already strange (COVID-related) circumstances more uncomfortable

Focaccia and sour dough baguettes are superb the best anywhere. Everything is superb.The only downside is they will not slice any of their breads.

This is a small artisanal bakery that makes extraordinary bread.
They cut down hours after exhausting the heck out of themselves and needed to re think.
It's a huge value for the handmade product they provide.
If your looking for cheap, sugar packed dreck, go back to Dunkies.

What a wonderful thing to look forward to all week during this time of quarantine. They are set up very safely for customers. Got there too early for baguette and plain croissants but found other fresh bread and fruit pastry. If you want a better selection, come at 10AM. They close at 5 now on Thursday-Friday. And at 4 on Saturday.

By far the best bread in my area. I grew up in an Italian neighborhood where great bread was accepted as necessary for everyday life. Annarosa's makes the aroma's of my childhood come back to life. I can't say enough about this delicious bread. The baker is an artist. A quick heads up! They are not open every day of the week, check before you make the trip.

Got to this bakery yesterday late in the day only to find out that they are all out. I decided to check out their website and read how the whole passion for baking started when the owner bought a bread machine. I figure I got to see how they lasted 19 years. I went back this morning and got to meet Jane, the owner who bought that bread machine 19 years ago. What a nice lady. I also got to taste their product. Man, it is out of this world. Even my daughter who never like bread finished her croissant and complimented it. Try them out, nice local place, great owners and awesome bread.

This place is truly a gem. Some of the most amazing breads and pastries I've ever had. The pannini's are superb if you lucky enough to get them! Other highlights are the crossiants and the rosemary seasalt rolls (along with basically any of the bread loaves!

There is no bakery I would rather go to than Annarosa's I just don't know another place that offers the quality and variety of artisan bread and tasty pastries. There's other things there too, and I really appreciate being able to grab an iced coffee while I'm there. Make sure you check the hours before you go. My favorite is the semolina bread. I drive about half an hour to go there. I always stop there on the way to the beach.

We have loved this bakery for so long. Whenever we're in the area these days, we try to stop in; it's THAT special! Have never had anything that disappoints even slightly because everything is prepared with the talent, care and love that you can taste. You know it as soon as you walk in. Don't miss it! It's located in a small strip mall right near Tom's Discount. Enjoy, with confidence! Really, you have to visit this one!

Good breakfast rolls if you can manage to get there on the day a week they are open so don't count on them for your morning coffee and pastry.

Phenomenal! A topnotch bakery. These guys make everything so well. The baguettes and croissants are perfection. Whole grain breads, ficelle - the seeded sourdough! All delicious, all the time. (Please bring back those chocolate pistachio pastries...)

All I had was a sticky bun. But it was the sticky bun of all sticky buns. I can't say enough about it. I want another. And another. And one every day for the rest of my life. I love you, Annarosa, yet I hate you. Off to the gym...

They could stand to have warmer coffee, but the flavor is outstanding - I mixed a shot of the almond with the rechargeable he french roast, yum. Nowx the reason you came here, the pastries! Hoooooollllyyyyyy crrraaaaaappp! The bread is outstanding and the cookies are killer... I could go on and on and on and on and on! They use REAL flour! Handmilled! Not processed. If you have issues with gluten, but aren't actually allergic (celiac) you can eat this without problem. If I lived here, I would never go anywhere else for bread.

Beautiful bakery that shines from their heartfelt service, wonderful breads, and delightful pastries.

Made it too late on a Saturday to try their croissants, so I tried the Jamaican Rum Cloud, Pumpkin Pare, and a pistachio cookie. They were all delicious!

The espresso was superb. I was so pleased, after my first 2 shots I ordered a 3rd! I live in Boston, so I'm sad that I won't be able to come back soon.
