I was excited to try the Bearded Baking Co but unfortunately we found the cases to be pretty bare and they'd only been open for an hour. We were going to order sandwiches and coffees but no one asked to take our order. It was extremely disappointing and chances are we won't be back. *We were also disappointed in the lack of selection as well read more

I needed a desert to bring for Christmas and ordered the Parisian Torte - raspberry ganache parisian. I would absolutely do exactly this again for dessert. I picked up fresh raspberries as an extra topping and it was gorgeous and delicious. Parking was nearby on the street. I'm not sure if there's other parking but that was easy for us. Inside it was busy and a fairly small space with counter service and friendly staff feeling well with the holiday rush. There seems to be a lot of regulars coming in as well . read more

Food: The food here is what all bakeries should aspire to be like. I have often come across bakeries that make beautiful treats that are overly dense or dry and don't have anything special about their taste. That is not the case here. The flavors and decorations are unique and well done. I've only been here a couple times so far but I am looking forward to coming back over and over again. Each time I have gone they have new items that all look fantastic. They don't keep a lot of stock on hand and constantly rotate new flavors and treats in the pastry case so it's a good idea to place an order ahead of time if you want something specific. I love going here and seeing what random treats they have come up with on that day. So far I have tried their: Green Apple beetle juice delight donut - This is my favorite donut I've tried here so far. The flavor was closer to strawberry wafers than green apple but it was so unique and beautifully decorated compared to anything you could get at most bakeries or cafes. Black and white sand worm donut - This tasted like a chocolate frosted donut but homemade and better. Plus it had the added bonus of looking amazing. Hot honey breakfast donut - This tasted like a homemade glazed donut but with an extra little pancake and bacon bits on top. The pancake was nothing special (other than being adorable) but the bacon was SO good. I might need to ask them where they got the bacon from because it was so flavorful and a great way to balance some of the sweetness of the donut. Heath bar donut - I love heath bar so I was hoping the heath flavor would be a little stronger but I think the only flavor was from the crushed heath on top. It was still a fluffy donut though. Strawberry crunch donut - The "crunch" on top was a fun addition to what is essentially a strawberry donut. The topping isn't actually crunchy but it was still unique and added to the flavor. Oreo donut: This was light on the cookie part of the Oreo but everyone knows the middle is the best part so I'm not complaining. Chocolate frosted: The chocolate frosting was super rich and topped with cute holiday themed sprinkles. Blood orange? - I didn't see the name of this flavor but it had bright red icing to fit the Halloween theme. It tasted citrusy and pretty similar to a pez candy. Blueberry brown sugar cupcake - This is by far my favorite cupcake I've tried here so far. The flavor was unique to what I've seen offered at most bakeries or cafes and it tasted so good. I seriously commend whoever thought of, and then figured out how to make this cupcake because it is fantastic. Cinnamon roll cupcake - I'd probably call this a cinnamon cupcake rather than a cinnamon roll cupcake because a cinnamon roll really needs icing to feel complete and frosting is not quite the same. Even still it was a delicious cinnamon cupcake Caramel apple cupcake - This was an apple pie in cupcake form. Absolutely perfect for the upcoming fall season. Brown sugar whipped coffee: The coffee was strong and the whipped up texture was so satisfying. Caramel chai cold foam: Once mixed up the flavors blend perfectly. The cold foam also has a great texture so I'd recommend ditching the straw and drinking straight from the cup to get the full effect. Service: The bakers are helpful. They don't seem overly chatty but that is not a bad thing. Ambience: The cafe has a small area to stand and order but no seating. The work area behind the counter is open so you can see the bakers working together around large tables. It gives off a sense of community and hard work to make each of the tasty option in the pastry case. read more

First time at this bakery, their desserts in the shelf on display looked quite tasty. We came for breakfast and each had a sausage/egg/cheese on a bagel. I wish that they would display the prices on their chalkboard menu. The breakfast sandwich was quite average, nothing special. We came, we saw, we conquered though. read more

Incredible food at affordable prices. They are masters at what they do with great customer service. I'd recommend to anyone!

Prices are higher than normal for Manchester. Cupcakes are too sweet. Other sweet items are only ok.

Special bakery with a nice selection of "out of the oven" pastries, muffins, cupcakes, cakes and more! Just a few blocks from downtown Manchester, parking directly in front.

Elephant ear was crispy and delicious. Counter help was friendly... highly recommend! read more

They did an excellent job on a wedding cake ordered during the pandemic. Highly recommend!

I recently ordered a Whipped coffee and a blueberry muffin. The muffin was more cake like which I was no expecting. It didn't taste homemade/from scratch. I will definitely stick to there delicious donuts. I should have asked how the whipped coffee was made because when I got it 3/4 of the plastic coffee cup was white meaning it was all milk. I didn't want to complain until I actually tasted it. The straw jammed and cracked while putting it into the cup not sure if there was too much ice? I wasn't able to fully enjoy it until I got to my office and shook it myself. I would try it again as long as the milk is limited and thoroughly mixed or shaken by the server. Thank you read more

My daughter brought home cupcakes and an Easter cake out of the case for Easter dessert. Everything was really delicious. Cakes moist, tender and flavorful. The frostings were really nice- not that too heavy neo-classic buttercream or super sugary but a nice in-between tasty light frosting. I was really impressed, as I do bake and decorate cakes and am very picky. Can't wait to try some special orders. Highly recommend! read more

We ordered a cheese cake for a special,person birthday. We requested some strawberries on top. It was a perfect cake. PLUS a they put strawberry topping on it too. It was a very heavy cake. It was the hit of the party. Lite and full flavor. I grabbed a snack of bread pudding. My Irish grandmother made the best BP in the world. I just found the second best. Last and not least. What makes this a really special place was interacting with the staff! From ordering through pick up just a really friendly crew. This is a must try read more

I was so disappointed when I went there to order a cake for my 80 birthday. I wanted some input and suggestions but was handed a business card and told to order my cake on line. I had many questions but the person who was "helping" me was so smug I just left the store. To charge $100.00+ for a cake and told to order on line was insulting. I know that the bakery does produce really good cakes as I have bought there before. I won't be going back. read more

Got a cake here over the summer, when I got there they were still frosting it. They gave me the cake it was fine on my drive, I put it in the fridge and it then by the time I took it out to serve the layers had gradually slid apart. I emailed to let them know for their information but never received a response. Things happen with cakes, would have been nice to get a response - poor customer service go elsewhere read more

1st time in. Chocolate chip cookie was fine, but unfortunately the muffin we got , though sounded nice (maple pecan), was terribly dry and we couldn't eat it. Staff was pleasant. Perhaps just an off day, but bummer for 1st impression. read more

I was in the area and wanted to try this bakery - had seen Jon on the Holiday Baking Championship and had frequented Michelle's several times. I bought two muffins and a cinnamon roll, all of which were fantastic!

I will definitely be back when it's time for a special cake or whenever I'm in the area. read more
