So we go to the Cape every year and a few years back we did a blind ice cream taste test on no less than 20 different ice cream places on the Cape. This place was hands down winner. They remain our favorite. I would recommend a specific flavor but they are all homemade amazing. The dirtbomb is their signature made with dirtbomb muffins from bakery across the parking lot. read more

The Outer Cape is really lacking in standout places to eat. The Cottage is absolutely adorable and what you think a bakery on Cape Cod should look like. There's often a line on weekends but it moves fast. I haven't tried everything they offer, but I have tried a fair amount and the Dirt Bomb is by far the best thing they have! It's a muffin-like nutmeg baked good that is rolled in cinnamon and sugar and it's absolutely delicious. Lick the sugar off your fingers kind of good. They're often sold out. This is something I crave when I'm not on the Cape. Just try it. I've had cupcakes, cookies, bars, scones - they are all good, but the Dirt Bomb is a level above. It's not cheap, but it's also not crazy prices. read more

An absolutely delicious cranberry scone - the best I have had on the Cape! Great bakery.

I stopped in today to try their breakfast sandwich. After seeing the price I figure it would be a high quality sandwich for 8.50 What I got? An egg that was 100% microwaved out of a premixed liquid egg carton, not fresh cracked- this is crazy for somewhere to do in 2026 and ask the prices they ask!!! Bacon that was microwaved too, dry, lacking flavor and since the sandwich was so dry it kept falling out with each bite!!! The bread? dry and untoasted, seemed like store bought sourdough if you ask me. The cheese, 1 teeny slice, that tasted like a Kraft single quality American- not something like a Boars Head or other that you would expect for a 8.50 sandwich. Overall this sandwich was NOT good and I am highly upset by the price to value. Jomamas down the road will sell you 2 sandwiches for nearly this price- and they are actually good, we Cottage st Bakery due to the line at Jomamas being too long for our toddler to wait in. Next time we'll wait in the line. read more

If you're in the area and skip Cottage Street Bakery, you are missing out! The longtime owner/baker is French and, if that's not enough for you to give it a try, check out the line in the morning. He has an excellent selection of delicious pastries (including croissants), cakes, cookies, muffins, and breads. They also do breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Don't worry about the long line. There's usually plenty of friendly staff so it moves quickly. This sweet bakery is a real treasure! read more

Imagine that a donut and a muffin walked into a bar, fell in love and married.... and then they became the Dirt Bomb. These are the marriage between a donut and a muffin with a nice bath of butter... this must be heaven! It had been years since I had them, and fortunately my neighbors brought some home this past weekend! read more

A classic, American bakery with their specialty: the dirt bomb! It's essentially a semi-fried cinnamon muffin. Very rich, but quite delicious (I could only eat about half, so good to share with friends and family). Other desserts were similarly classic American: slightly too sweet for my preference but my mom loved. Not sure I'll return when I'm in Cape Cod next, but mom probably will read more

Cute little coffee shop. Lots of amazing looking pastries... Love the Dirt Bomb!! I recommend stopping here for a casual start to your morning read more

We threw-out everything we bought. Terrible products. One display case had fruit flies flying around in it. (We ordered from the other section) The muffins were dry and thick, the brownies dense and gummy, the cupcakes just not good. Tiny place with nice people working there. read more

All these reviews are spot on. Adorable bakery, with some of the most delicious muffins and breakfast sandwiches. Definitely worth going to, and likely more than once! The dirt bomb is delicious, would highly recommend. read more

Dirt Bombs....... Fabulous. I must say you have to get there early though before they go quickly read more

Yelp helped me identify Cottage Street Bakery as a bakery to visit on a recent Cape Cod Trip. It's a small bakery not far from a windmill along the water. Service was friendly. They have great stuff. I ordered a beautiful and tasty chocolate-covered, Thanksgiving color-speckled, coconut macaroon. My wife called her brownie (eaten before picture) a 10 out of 10. The pictured "dirt bomb" was also delicious and soft-textured. Cottage Street Bakery is deservedly a well-loved place. Five Stars read more

Get the dirt bomb muffin. You are welcome! Seriously tho... I have to have one of these when I come to the Cape. It's soooooo gooooood!

Quaint + cozy. Cottage Street Bakery serves incredible on-the-go pastries and desserts. Two stools inside to sit but other than that, you'll have to opt for a picnic bench out front if you wanted to "eat in". read more

Cottage Street Bakery - Cinnamon Walnut Maple Danish - Bakeries Near Me - Orleans, Massachusetts

Many types of muffins. All excellent. Chocolate mousse cake is Outstanding. Recommend highly. More expensive than Stop and Shop but goods at CSB are of the highest quality. read more

This is an amazing bakery (behind the Ice Cream Café) that I've visited many times. Their blueberry muffins and "dirt bombs" (cinnamon sugar) are the best! Try to get there early, though, as they might sell out, especially on a weekend. (visited 6/15/24) read more

Stopped for a coffee and an almond croissant on our bike ride. Friendly staff and we will come back!

We only went her because it was around the corner from our hotel. The first thing I noticed as we walked in was how FANTASTIC it smelled. Like they were baking right then, which they were. Aside from fantastic baked goods, they also had some soups to go and a variety of egg sandwiches. Get a DIRT BOMB. It's really addictive. read more

While here on the Cape we heard some people talking about these "Dirt Bombs" and how they were the most amazing things they have ever eaten. So of course we needed to track them down and they did not disappoint. And of course we had to try a bunch of items this great little bakery had to offer. Such an amazing hidden gem in the heart of Orleans. read more

Delicious cookies, pastries, and muffins! Especially that yummy "dirt bomb". Well worth the trip!

Maybe the best pies I've eaten anywhere. Stop by early as they run out of a lot of flavors early in the morning. I had a croissant right after it came out of the oven, definitely the best croissant I've ever had. The muffins are also really good. Not much outdoor seating, so plan on taking it to go during the pandemic. Prices are also very reasonable. read more

So cute and so tasty! We ordered breakfast sandwiches and the famous "dirt bombs", we have had dirt bombs at other places in town but came here when we heard this was the original! Hands down the best dirt bombs! For breakfast sandwiches the veggie sandwich is delicious! We will be back! read more

Cottage Street Bakery - My in-laws 50th Wedding Anniversary Cake Vanilla cake, Nutella mousse, and vanilla buttercream. - Bakeries Near Me - Orleans, Massachusetts

If you dig muffins then yeah you might be able to discern the difference between mediocrity and excellence in this specialized genre of sweets. To my inexperienced taste buds, a muffin is a muffin. And, cottage despite the hype and hysteria, it too offered muffins. We tasted poppyseed the famed dirt bomb apple crumb and walnut danish, listed in order of tastiness with walnut offering the peak experience. The coffee was pretty delicious and the staff was sweet but they stuck to that policy of three humanoids in store at any one time like gum on the bottom of ones shoes. Will I return? Well, if I need a "muffin" yes I will be back. But If I seek desert nirvana, then no read more

We were running errands on Main Street and were in search of a bakery to bring back some cookies for lunch. I checked the Yelp app and saw there was a bakery just 0.08 miles away -I mean how lucky can you get! This is a small bakery with a ton of stuff. It has a Main Street address, but its kind of down a side street and doesn't really face Main Street. It was a real find! It had exactly what we wanted- a nice selection of about 6 different big cookies -chocolate chip, oatmeal, cranberry and more. They also sell Muffins, Scones, Danishes, croissants, breads, fruit tarts, cakes, brownies, fig bars, whoopee pies, macaroons, and linzer squares. Really, you can't go wrong here at all. read more

Came here to try their signature item. Tasty item. The servers behind the counter range from helpful to not so much. We arrived & they ran out & were making them. Had to ask how long it would take & tell guy we wanted 1. Turned out they were being done then & ready in another 2 min. Most of the stuff is home made - dirt bomb looks most interesting. read more

Cottage Street Bakery - Dirt bomb - Bakeries Near Me - Orleans, Massachusetts

Right there in town, at the junction of 6A and the 28, this cutesy bakery is SOO much more than a nghbrhd bakery---pie shop, soups, bisques, cookies, tarts, muffins, tarts--- Lovely little country charm...customer service could have been a wee bit warmer, as we were out-of-towners trying to decide what to get for our dessert this evening. Decided upon purchasing a beautiful four-berry pie for $20 for the family, as well as a few fresh fluffy muffins for breakfast in the A.M. Quaint, understated bakery..down-home. Just less than a min's drive away from the Nauset lobster pool and seafood market...totally ready for a stellar sit-down meal at our vacation unit. read more

I've been coming to the cottage street bakery for years when we vacation in the cape. I've had just about every baked item on the list- my family has a favorite for each member. My husband is a fan of the blueberry muffin, my 2 sons love the dirt bombs (which is what they are known for) my favorite is the cranberry almond poppyseed muffin. It's amazing. It you like muffin tops which I do it has an enormous top filled with almond slices. It's super moist and delicious. They have terrific coffee to which we often enjoy and I find the croissants to be amazing. We have bought birthday cakes from them and although I haven't tried their lunch the menu has a lot to offer and the soups sound amazing. We love coming here for breakfast multiple times during our stay. We look forward to coming again next year! read more

Such a cute little bakery with delicious treats! We like to visit here in the morning for breakfast. Sometimes we get muffins which are not the prettiest but are very tasty! My favorite is the raspberry lemon poppyseed muffin and the dirt bomb is a close second. We've also gotten egg sandwiches here - would recommend getting them on squash bread! Definitely a must stop location for breakfast or a treat if you're in Orleans! read more

Whatever days off my life it took, the dirt bombs were worth every single bite. the other options were extremely tempting but the dirt bombs were the way to go. Son had a doughnut, and really liked it as well read more

Cottage Street Bakery is always amazing but I want to specifically review their new delivery service. Having grown up on the Cape but now living in Pittsburgh, I am pretty homesick for the Cape all the time. A few weeks ago I saw Cottage Street post about their new delivery program. I made a cheeky comment to my fiancé about how I now expected my weekly delivery of dirtbombs. Going out of his way to make Valentine's Day special, my fiancé ended up ordering 6 dirtbombs delivered to our apartment. I actually started crying when I opened the box (probably a mixture of excitement and homesickness). The dirtbombs were extremely fresh after being shipped all the way from MA and surprisingly have stayed very fresh over the course of the last few days. I was very impressed by the promptness, packaging and freshness of Cottage Street Bakery's shipped items and would highly recommend to anyone missing dirtbombs during the off season. read more

Cottage Street Bakery - Dirtbombs delivered! - Bakeries Near Me - Orleans, Massachusetts

Dirt bombs! Yes, they make many other pastries and cakes. But a dirt bomb and a cup of coffee is the best way to start a day in Orleans (or anywhere else). The bakery building is small and the outside seating area is comfortable. The ice cream shop that shares the parking lot offers dirt bomb ice cream. read more

Excellent selection of home backed goodness both sweets and savory. Let me not leave out the wonderful selection of breads. Get there early so you don't miss out. The chai tea and earl grey teas were on point. Definitely a place to visit. Don't let the prices drive you away. I promise once you take a bite you will understand read more

When on Cape Cod , we always stop here for a dirt bomb and raspberry muffin and are never disappointed , Yum.

We used Cottage Street Bakery for our wedding cake; it was phenomenal. Megan accommodated me pretty last minute. I came in for a tasting and I picked a raspberry buttercream filling and an Oreo buttercream filling for our cake. We are STILL getting compliments on how good our wedding cake was compared to other weddings people have been to. I felt they were very reasonably priced as well. Megan delivered the cake the morning of the wedding and worked hand in hand with my florist (White Flowers in Harwich) to put the gorgeous flowers on the cake. read more

Doughnuts are also best here. And our family will always buy a celebratory cake or holiday pie here. Reliable and delicious. read more

Its very, very, very good. Great selection of homemade goodness - from cookies to pies to brownies and bars and cakes and croissants and wow. Lots of things to choose from! Dirt Bomb - it is very nutmeggy, so be sure you like nutmeg! I was expecting it to be the same as the Donut Muffins (from Sweet Bites in Acton), but the nutmeg makes it very different. Delicious nonetheless. Lemon bar and some kinda kitchen-sink-candy-brownie deal were both terrific.. only slight let down was the cookies were kind of bland. Not bad, in any fashion, just not as good as the rest. Will be back for the pies! read more

Best croissants in the North East, perhaps the planet I already knew the croissants were superior, but when I learned my Belgian uncle was fighting cancer I knew what I had to do. So every year on my way north for vacation in New Brunswick, Canada I'd take croissants to him, knowing he'd at least eat them, if nothing else was palatable. He even kept an eye on them, making sure no one ate more than one. They freeze perfectly and would last my uncle for months. After he passed away, my aunt continues to put orders in: like 8 dozen! It's now 12 years later! read more

Sweet little bakery. A little hard to find till you see it's basically a tiny house converted into a bakery! Unassuming and charming AF! While staying locally it was the most clutch place in a pinch to get a good quality cake made in a day or so for a birthday. They had very very creative little cards and candles for this exact kind of situation. They also have wonderful sandwiches and breakfast concoctions but have only had the chance to try basic grilled cheese. I really want to return when not in such a rush. The ice cream served next door is a perfect compliment to their yummy cakes ! read more
