Such a wonderful experience. Since returning from Europe, I've been missing the subtle joys of a local (non-Wegmans) bakery to get fresh baguettes and breads, until stumbling across this place. The ambiance is simple, a few tables, some baskets setup as decorations on the wall and that's it. The focus is on the food, not the atmosphere. Came around 11:00 and much of their options were already sold out, which I actually take as a good sign and an incentive to get there early. Ordered a traditional, and cherry-walnut baguette and tea. I wish I knew the tea brand they have to pick it up myself, very unique (think it was blood orange and something else). The baguettes were the freshest I've had in a long time. The cherry walnut was all natural and not too sweet. Absolutely should try it if you are looking for a nice, no frills bakery. Will be back, earlier next time. read more

Tucked deep in a North Tonawanda location is this little gem of a bakery. It's pretty small but I've always managed to get a seat. Be prepared for a constant flow of customers- some staying and many just taking their goodies to go. It's a small place, so choices are limited both in bakery items and breads, but, guaranteed, you won't go empty handed or disappointed. read more

Anastasia's Artisan Bread - Chocolate croissant - Bakeries Near Me - North Tonawanda, New York

At MAP's famer market on a thursday, Anastsia's wasn't there in person, but their borodinsky rye was. We been wanting to try her bread again, having had it once some years ago at a pop up and loved it. we'd never heard of borodinsky rye, and should have googled it before we bought it. It's a sweet rye, which we weren't expecting, not knowing that a sweet rye even exists. So, it's not our favorite, but will say in its favor that it was dark, hearty, fresh. we just never figured out how best to eat it. we tried toasted, with pnut butter, with avocado, with soup; nothing was able to make us happy. The loaf cost $8.50. we haven't given up, tho! we'll try another flavor next time. read more

The bread here is fantastic. They also sell it at the Kenmore farmers market on Sundays, it does seem to have a up charge those days. It's well worth the trip out to North Tonawanda, or of course, if you're lucky enough to live nearby, you should come in all the time. The breads are fantastic. I have had two of their treat type things, and honestly, I'll stick to the bread. But it's well worth the trip. There's a private parking lot. read more

Sheesh, this place is incredible! Delicious pastries and the latte was frothy perfection. Need to come back for the bread. Kind employees and very peaceful ambiance. read more

Stopped in I've been wanting to for a while and it was worth it. I snagged an English muffin for breakfast and a loaf of bread for later. The bread is nice and dense for a nice hearty sandwich and the English muffin was perfect just the way it was with butter but also would make a killer breakfast sandwich. read more

Literally obsessed with this little white bakery. It's going to be the death of me lol. I've had both the cinnamon roll and the peach tart and both were equally amazing. Like, literally drooling. If you don't see a pastry that you're looking for in the case just simply ask if they have it, if they'll be baking it, or when they will have what you're looking for. Anastasia is super nice. Cute inside too. Very aesthetic. Wooden tables. Feels like you're in another country or city. read more

Anastasia's is definitely the best bakery that I've been to. It's always very busy, but that speaks to the quality of the bread and baked goods. They're very efficient with taking care of each customer in a timely manner. There are a good amount of tables available, but it does get busy so come early! All of the baked goods that I've tried have been top tier. I especially love the cardamon knot and chocolate chip cookies. It's a nice place to come to relax, get a delicious treat, a coffee or tea drink and a loaf of bread to take home (and probably a couple other treats as well). read more

I stopped in today right before closing. It was surprisingly quiet however I saw the people lined up outside before open and how busy they were throughout the day. I purchased a loaf of rye bread, a pumpkin cookie, and a chocolate chip walnut cookie. Everything was absolutely delicious. I used the rye to make 'Rachel's' and it was absolutely the perfect bread for it! Very flavorful but not over powering. The cookies were absolutely scrumptious and because you can see the whole oats in them you don't feel as bad having them! The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. I appreciated that they conversed with me and didn't shoo me out because they were nearing close. I'll definitely be back for some more goodies! read more

They have a 4.9 rating before this review so they probably don't need another five star review but I'm going to give it to them anyway. We were driving back to WNY from a week in DC and my local daughter asked if we wanted anything. We had never had anything from here before. We got a sourdough bread, an almond croissant and a pistachio chocolate croissant. Everything was delicious. I also like a competitor's (Miller's Thumb) sourdough so someday I may need to try them side-by-side. Will definitely patronize them again, especially if our daughter offers to pick it up for us. read more

I saw a post about this new bakery, so I definitely wanted to give it a try. My friend and I arrived around 11am on a Saturday. When we arrived the line was rather long, and the display case was a bit bare, but, that did not stop me from trying what was available. I had a few pastries, and one of their seasonal coffees, pistachio rose latte. The presentation of the coffee was definitely picture worthy. The baked goods were different from anything I've tried. They are not as sweet as traditional pastries but they are flavorful. I had a shortbread cookie that was stuffed with farmers cheese. The saltiness of the cheese really complimented the cookie! They do not have a lot of tables, that being said, I don't reccommend sticking around and making it an afternoon. Although they do have a few chairs, and a very small seating area I could see by the expressions on the workers faces, that they would have preferred we grab our goodies and leave, instead of sticking around. I will definitely have to get here earlier to see the larger variety they offer. Pro tip: if you are looking to try their breads get there when they open, the bread is the first item to sell out. Also, if they happen to not have the item you are looking for try again the next day! Do not complain to the staff or owner, they are a small family owned bakery not a wholesale food store. read more

After another run to the farmers market I vowed to find this bakery I'd been seeing on my feed. Such a cute place cranking out fantastic products! Breads, bagels, baguettes and they didn't forget the sweets. Sad I forgot pictures each time I've been, I'm to mesmerized by the wafting delicious smell! read more

Everything I have ever purchased there has been delicious- cheesecake pavlova. Etc. Everyone that works there is also super friendly

Anastasia's has been open for some time now and it's become an addiction. Nothing like having the perfect bakery right in my own neighborhood. We now never buy store bought bread, we live on the country loaf from Anastasia's instead. I also absolutely love the cardamom knots and mountain cookies when I am in the mood for a treat. Don't skip out on the coffee either! They make one of the best mochas that I have ever had. If you haven't discovered this gem yet, now is your chance. read more

What a great hidden little gem in North Tonawanda located in a small plaza off the beaten path. I grew up in NT and had no idea this plaza even existed. I was quite delighted when I walked in and saw all the different kind of pastries and baked goods that they offer. Not just muffins, cookies, donuts, etc that I've seen at most other bakeries in the area. It definitely reminds me of European bakeries with cardamom knots, financiers and keks. The staff was friendly and helpful. We ordered a jalapeno cheese roll, which was made like a cinnamon roll and a ginger molasses scone. The jalapeno roll was not spicy to me and that was a little disappointing, but it's the fancy you play with hot peppers... you never do know what heat level they will be. It was still quite flavorful and fresh with the dominant flavors to me being onion and cheese. The ginger molasses scone was a decent size and had nice, big pieces of dried ginger in it. I also got a vanilla anise latte... It was like Christmas in a cup and just the perfect amount of sweet! Most times lattes are far too sweet for me if I don't order them "half sweet", so this was very pleasing. I will definitely be back and hope to try at least one if everything the offer in due time... Can't squeeze it all in on one trip! Haha read more

Wow, soft opening? Can't wait to see what you do with a full blown opening! I stopped by 2 weeks ago to try things out. The bread was superb! Crusty on the outside, soft and yeasty on the inside. Loved my gingerbread scone. So glad I decided to place an order for Christmas. Mom put the bread out early and the rosemary baguette was gone before dinner was out. Garlic loaf was fabulous. Also so,glad I saved the cardamom rolls for Christmas breakfast. What a fabulous spot for baked goods. Will for sure be trying the coffee offerings next stop! read more

First time this morning and luckily got a cardamom roll right out of the oven! The dough is sooo soft and has such a unique flavor! Also got the mountain cookie which is delicious and the strawberry pop tart. The filling is so fresh! It was a perfect little spot for coffee and a treat. Cannot wait to try some more. read more

Welcome to your new favorite bakery! The bakers are welcoming and the simple interior is calming but I love that you can watch them at work using that incredible oven. The cardamom bun tasted like a Christmas dream, perfectly spiced, moist and tender. The brownie was the best I've ever had with a real cocoa flavor and tender crumb. The iced mocha latte was not overly sweet like most and I was thrilled they could make it decaf! The hot decaf mocha latte was beautifully topped with latte art. Thank you for all your hard work and creativity that makes such a delightful experience for us! read more

Anastasia's artisan bread is amazing. We went on opening day and got a loaf of Rye Bread. It's such a deep and wonderful flavor. I've also had many of her other products at other times at local farmers markets and vendors- the mountain cookie is my favorite. I love her dedication to her product, it shows through the end result. I can't wait to try everything else she is offering in her cafe. Plenty of parking available. read more

My first visit to Anastasia's today, recommend by Katya of "Cakes by Katya" that I frequent. How have I not heard of this place?? Usually buy my breads from Whole Foods but no longer. The baguettes and country loaf were so good and fresh, and my family devoured them in 10m. More amazing than the breads are the staff. Friendly, informative, and patient for my first time there, answering all my questions. I'll spread the word about Anastasia's for sure. read more

What an amazing locally operated bakery that has the best pastries, bread and coffee! The calming and welcoming atmosphere creates a beautiful experience. I also enjoy that the baking area is wide open so you can watch the bread and pastries being made. Everything I've tried so far has been a treat! The flavored baguettes are delicious. The cinnamon roll was light with a creamy frosting. The cheddar scallion scone crumbled nicely and had a great flavor. Even the latte was the perfect accompaniment to these amazing pastries. Come check out and support this amazing local bakery! You won't be disappointed. read more

This summer I came across Anastasia's Artisan Bread at the Williamsville Farmers market and became a fan. I've gone to her new location a few times since their soft opening. Today I was able to get a beautifully crafted vanilla anise latte- yum! I also got a cardamom knot and poppyseed roll. Both of them were delicious and are highly recommended. The parmesan baguette is my favorite. I love using her baguettes to make breakfast sandwiches! Thank you Anastasia for sharing your passion with us! read more

I love this place. It is tucked away off of E Robinson. Even on a very rainy day I could smell the freshly baked bread outside. They have seating and two rooms but this place has many fans so it may be hard to find seating. They have many freshly baked breads. They have borodinsky which is a heavy rye sourdough that usually is made with molasses or honey & has coriander. I got a warm rosemary baguette that was delicious. They also have coffee drinks one of them being raf which is a sweet creamy espresso drink. Their espresso drinks are rich and flavorful. Even if the line is long they move quickly & you won't be waiting long. read more

If you are looking for a beautiful, morning light drenched bakery that smells like fresh baked bread, pastries and coffee, and you're greeted with a warm, sincere smile from everyone that works there as soon as you walk in- go to Anastasia's. And then order everything she has plus a warm (or iced) delicious beverage, sit at the table in the window with a loved one, and enjoy. This place is a gem and so is the hardworking owner and her family. Amazing sourdough breads and baked goods made with love. Plus my iced oat milk latte was incredible. Can't wait for my next visit. read more

After seeing fellow Yelper and friend Anna's review I knew I had to hunt down and try Anastasia's. I immediately found Anastasia's Artisan Bread on Instagram and saw that Anastasia keeps Overwinter Coffee fully stocked in the carb department. I stopped at Overwinter's Williamsville location on a Saturday and they had the poppy seed pastry I had been eyeing up. I wanted to try the cardamom pastry that was on Anastasia's Insta, but unfortunately it wasn't meant to be and I settled on the poppy seed pastry. Settling was a harsh word, because one bite of that pastry and I knew I wasn't settling. I had found a sinfully delicious confection. The poppy seeds helped to balance out the sweetness and it was delightful. Although gluten is not my friend, I will try other offerings that Anastasia has, just not often. Try everything she makes though, because whenever she posts on Instagram I immediately start to salivate. read more

Building my dream bakery one loaf at a time." - Anastasia.  Have you already tried 'Anastasia's Artisan Bread'? If not, don't hesitate and don't wait.

Tried her sourdough and fruited rye bread, they were amazing! Went pretty near to close on Sunday and although availability was limited (as expected 15 mins before close) I was still so impressed by what we got. I am so thrilled to have such a cute and delicious place nearby in NT and can't wait to spend some wintery mornings in this cute bakery read more

I've stopped in twice so far & there's just something magical about this place. Most people these days myself included are always in a hurry, but when I'm here I actually love to stand in the line and watch the bread bake in the oven, make a quick stop to the counter and then into my hands. Everything I've tried has been unbelievably good. The cardamom knot has been my favorite so far. The apple cinnamon roll & rosemary baguette are some others I've enjoyed. I truly could eat a slice (or more) of the country loaf every day for the rest of my life and be very happy. It's simply the best!! Thank you Anastasia for coming to NT! We love this place and will continue to return as much as we can. read more

We had 2 cookies that were absolutely amazing. The maple latte was the best we have had. Staff was very friendly and answered any questions we had. Highly recommend!! read more

Came across this establishment this past summer through the Village of Williamsville's market instagram page and immediately made them a weekly staple at our visits. Crazy enough, I didn't realize they did weekly home deliveries until this fall and have now placed our second order since they aren't at the markets this winter. This has become a game changer for us. You have to get to the markets early, as they sell out of their delicious goods frequently and early, but getting to place an order is perfect because you can order as much as you want of your favorites! You can't go wrong with any of their items, and we still have a lot to try, but, her keks, scones, country loaves, rye, and cookies are out of this world. My husband is a sucker for anything poppyseed, and he has said her poppyseed sweet roll is the best he has ever had. Looks like she is planning to open s brick & mortar storefront and I can't wait until she does because we will be regular customers! read more

Anastasia works HARD! She has been amazing over the years, her products are DELICIOUS. And the effort she puts in is unmatched. She is a super kind individual, and the love she has for people is evident in the work she makes with her hands for the community! She is busy, and that's because she's AMAZING! And has a businsss that we have all been yearning for! I highly suggest checking her out! And you want to account for all of the others that live her business and breads because the lines out the door are evident that she is doing something right! Get it while it's hot! read more

We've been fans of Anastasia's breads and pastries for quite a while after discovering her at the markets, so we were especially excited to visit her brick and mortar shop in NT! There is plenty of parking in a side lot and the shop inside has been renovated nicely. We got the cherry walnut baguette which was still warm and so delicious, and tried the plum frangipane tart which just melted in our mouths. We also got two lattes that were awesome, they use Overwinter coffee which we also love. The staff were super pleasant and it's cool to see the workings of the bakery on display from behind the counter. We enjoyed our fresh treats by a beautiful window and watched the steady stream of customers come in. If you go? Go early because they sell out (the cardamom knot is a personal favorite). Congrats on the new shop and on your continued success! read more

What a wonderful experience we had with Anastasia' s baguette. The plain was extraordinary. The rosemary even more decadent. We devoured our bread during an episode of "Emily in Paris"- how perfect.
