I love stopping at this bakery. I love the almond twists, and the cookies and we get pies here at Thanksgiving and they're delicious. The owner is very friendly and he comes out in chats when he's there. They have a ton of options for goodies. read more

I went in here a couple months ago and it was busy, but the staff was very attentive. There was multiple people working always asking if they could help. They were very patient help me figure out what I wanted. The carrot cake was excellent. We also got some Italian pastries. I can't remember what they all were at this time why no one was tiramisu for sure and it was delicious. The owner came out and we had probably a 20 minute conversation after I was done with my order just about life in the area and his life and was really nice. I think the ambience in there and just the way that everyone conducts themselves makes it a very inviting and friendly neighborhood place. I've lived in the area my whole life and I had never been there, but I had saw it. I believe on I think the bachelor read more

Wonderful cannolis, breads and pastries. The black and white cookies are huge and very tasty. I'm looking forward to trying their cakes

This is an amazing pastry shop! When we walked into the store, it was a literal treat for the senses. It smelled so good, and all the pastries looked delicious on display. I especially liked how they fill the cannoli to order. We got a variety of pastries to enjoy at home with family for the holidays; some cannoli, eclairs, scones, Whoopi' pies, etc.. everything tasted amazing. Even though there was a big line, it was worth the wait, the staff are very helpful and friendly. This is a great place for dessert whenever we are in the area! read more

This bakery feels like you are stepping back into an old school little italy location! I ordered here for Christmas. Everyone raved about the ricotta pie. The kids also LOVED the the grinch whoopie pies (they were so large they could have shared one!). They had a lot of staff working to make sure they moved everyone though quickly despite having a long line read more

Best pastries in Boston! Lobster tail is filled with the sweetest whipped cream/pastry cream, the pistachio cannoli is the best in town filled with the tastiest ricotta filling! The iced sugar cookie is a bit pricy, but worth it because of its beautiful decoration! The owner is so kind and friendly and the service is quick and convenient! read more

This is a cozy little bakery in Newton. There are a good variety of pastries and cakes offered. You don't need to order cakes ahead of time, as there were several on display and available when we went. Staff were friendly, plenty of street (metered) parking. Decent prices and the things we tried were delicious. The cookies and cream cake looked good and tasted great. The lobster tail was of decent size and the cream filling was excellent and not overly sweet or bland. I'd come here again for cakes and pastries. read more

We were overwhelmed at the aromas, choices and helpful friendly staff at this local neighborhood Italian bakery. We bought all flavors and shells of cannolis, cinnamon horns (um, addictive), a lobster tail, and a thickly latticed cherry pie. Oh my goodness, be prepared for a sugar coma because you won't be able to stop at one bite. Best pastries and pie we've ever had; it beats anything we've had in the North End hands down. read more

Antoine's Pastry Shop - Cannolis - especially loved the Florentine ones. - Bakeries Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

I dropped by this pastry shop two months ago for a quick dessert. I got a cannoli and a almond braided roll. The cannoli was made to order and the ricotta cheese was very fresh. However, the almond flavored shell was a bit sweet. The almond braided roll was stale and hardly had any almond flavor. Very disappointing... read more

Always a busy bakery with tasty treats. Recently went in for their gingerbread men (decorated for Valentine's Day) which are a good option. Picked up a funfetti cupcake, which will be a quick treat I pick up again. Delicious cake batter and good ratio to icing as well. read more

What is it about bakery boxes with the old-school bakery twine that makes people happy? I worked at a bakery in high school, I remember wrapping the twine and having a callus on one finger the entire time I worked there but I was just thinking that newer places don't use the twine so much... they have fancy stickers. Stickers are fine (and easier on the hands for sure) but the twine is the giveaway that you will be eating something really exciting, perhaps your favorite childhood goodies? I haven't been in Antoine's for years - not because I haven't passed by, but because I just have no self control in bakeries. None. I couldn't decide between the Whoopie Pie or a Half Moon, so I did what any reasonable person who has been living for 13 months in a Covid world: I got both! Whoopie Pie was nice and cakey, stuffed with frosting and perfect. The Half Moon had a slight lemony taste to the bottom, and delicious frosting on top. I liked their use of a milk chocolate frosting instead of a darker one, it made for a "lighter" taste (especially after the whoopie pie!). The two girls working mid-afternoon on Sunday April 18th were very nice, hard to tell their ages since we all have masks on, but late teens? read more

Spent $15+ on an éclair, cupcake, muffin, & 2 hermits. Got home 15-20 min. later & EVERYTHING was stale!!! DON'T BOTHER!!!

Any one who would give Antoine's less than a 5.0 is wrong. So good So classic Lobster tails Eclairs read more

Pros: -They have donuts! -Lots of other delicious options -The staff beautifully boxed and tied up our order Cons: -$5.00 card minimum -Street parking 2 donuts, a huge eclair, mini cheesecake and tiny rainbow cookie for $11.75 (no receipt, so not sure the cost of any individual items, but it seemed like a fair price for this haul) Rainbow Cookie Absolutely delicious and the jam really came through. Unfortunately so small! Definitely get multiple. Eclair Over 6oz, perfectly semi-sweet/semi-bready dough, loaded with filling. Donuts (Iced Chocolate Cake and Hazelnut Filled) Good chocolate icing and hazelnut filling, but definitely on the drier side because neither was glazed before being frosted. Maybe a 2-2.5/5 for the donuts. Still, I was happy to see them. They also had Pumpkin cake, Apple cider cake, and I think a basic frosted donut flavor while I was there. I would definitely go back! read more

Came in about 2 hours before closing on Saturday and this is exactly what I mean when I tell people I crave classic pastries. Antoine's is a hidden gem but they've been in the bakery game for a long time. I will definitely be back when I'm looking to cheat on my diet. Classic pastries are a price-point between $3-4. read more

We have tried to find a good Bakery and while the bread was ok, we spent almost 50.00 and most of it was. Just ok you go to a bakery instead of star market because you don't mind spending more but you want more than pre-made and everything lacking flavor very disappointing when you cheat on the diet. You want FLAVOR... Sorry this missed.. read more

Been going there for years such a big variety of pastry, breads, and everything is very good. Their Italian cookies are fabulous. They have so many different Italian pastries. They have cannolis , rum cakes, which you can order there's so much there. I don't even know where to start to tell you about it. Just definitely gotta go in there and at the holiday time is a long wait because so many people go there it's like a little north of Newton right down on Washington Street and you can also go to Depasquales 'Sausage ,get some sausages. Which are homemade also so if you buy some fresh rolls here, you can make sausage subs also right on the corner of steamers if you would like some fish, they have a little Italian area right there all in one little block and all three places are fabulous read more

Antoine's Pastry Shop - One of the best around. - Bakeries Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

Best bakery in Boston. Used to get a cannoli here as a mid day break when I worked from home.

Whenever we come to Newton we stop at Antoine's. This weekend we needed a birthday cake for our Grandson so we picked one up here. They kindly put his name on it. The lady that wait on me couldn't have been nicer. The cake was so tender and delicious and the frosting not too sweet - perfect! This is one of those bakery's that take you back to what bakeries are supposed to be. Freshness, great variety and great quality. We got Challah bread and made French toast for breakfast -sooo good. Should have gotten two. read more

Kind of a low-key but very nice bakery in the Nonantum area of Newton near Watertown. Had the macarons - they were unevenly shaped, a bit too sweet, and the filling was a bit goopy, but otherwise they were fun to eat. The rustic bread could have been denser, a bit too close to plain bread for my taste. It's as if they utilized the same flour they used to make the scali, and maybe browned the top for a bit longer. I'm looking forward to trying their cakes! read more

We bought lots to try on our first visit. Sadly, almost everything was a bit disappointing. Here are my thoughts: - chocolate chip cookie: tasted like a softer Chips Ahoy. Had one bite and threw the rest away - chocolate chip rugelach: had citrus/sour undertones, which I'm not a fan of. Maybe it was from cream cheese? Threw the 2nd one away. - carrot cake: moist and flavorful with yummy frosting, but heavy on the spices - pecan roll: good flavor, but dry - cinnamon chip bread: meh. Ate a couple bites and threw the rest out. - lobster tail: holy cow, that's a lot of pastry cream! My husband liked it but thought the bread was overdone and too crispy/hard. - plain cheesecake: husband liked how fluffy it was. - butter cookie and gingerbread: my daughter was a fan. Overall, great selection and very reasonable prices, but nothing stood out. I can't imagine going back. read more

Literally the best RICOTTA PIE on the planet. Its an Easter tradition in many Italian homes. Ive enjoyed many many pies. My moms friend made an incredible one. But of all the ricotta pies- Antione's remains top notch! The flavor, the texture, the crust! I cant stop! read more

I have been coming here since I was a little boy (that would make it nearly 50 years!) Though we don't live as close to Antoine's as we used to, I still love going back there. Walking through the doors is like stepping back to a simpler time. The folks behind the counter wear old-time bakers shirts in blue or white with the Antoine's name embroidered on them. They have the old string dispensers hanging from the ceiling, ready to wrap your boxes of baked goods. The cases are filled with beautiful-looking pastries, cakes, pies and cookies and other confections. Upon walking in, the smell is intoxicating, whetting your appetite for the treats to come. Oh, yes, and they are fantastic! You can't go wrong with anything. Do yourself a favor and make a visit to "The Lake", mush, for some incredible Antoine's pastries! read more

A lot of options at this corner pastry shop in Newton. We stopped by mid-morning on a weekday and picked up a box of sweets including cookie monster whoopie pie, Nutella pretzel, apple cinnamon turnover, chocolate donut, lemon danish, and a peach muffin. I definitely have to say I preferred their savory items over the sweet items we got. The peach muffin was definitely the winner out of this box, very refreshing and very moist for a muffin. The lemon danish and turnover were good, both flakey and had enough apple/lemony taste to them. The Nutella pretzel was lacking Nutella and was more of a dry pretzel. The chocolate donut was extremely dry the day after, so I wouldn't recommend getting either of those. The cute novelty of the cookie monster whoopie pie was great and the chocolate cakes weren't too dry since the frosting made up for it. They also had an Elmo whoopie pie among tons of other cakes and pastries for you to choose from. After you order, they tie your box up with string for extra security, which is a nice touch. Overall, it's a win for this pastry shop, and would love to go back to try their other treats! read more
