Unduly expensive for the quality. Seriously, Flour's cakes were less money and much easier to get to. Only bought a cake here because my friend was having a birthday and his mom bought his cakes here when he was a boy. They have expired their usefulness. read more

I always get my birthday cakes here every year it's so delicious I love how good they decorate and everyone there is so nice.

I wish I could give zero stars. Today is my birthday and my birthday cake looks terrible. It was supposed to be the shape of a heart, in pink, with white roses. We asked for whip cream frosting. When we called to speak to the owners, the baker tried to say it looks bad because we asked for whipped cream. There is no way the whip cream could've given us a cake with the wrong colors and wrong shape. It was very insulting how she tried to make that accusation. If the whip cream drips, she should've stated that from the beginning and recommended a different frosting. We are not bakers and should not have to tell them how to do their job. The shape is not of a heart. If this was something they could not do, they should've stated that. This is easily the ugliest cake I have ever seen. read more

Okay I am so fake because I am 5 months late with this review but let me tell you one thing... This is the best place ever and they have amazing customer service. So my partner's birthday was in June and I am super responsible because I am a Virgo so I planned to get his cake a few days in advance.I was researching places that had amazing Tres Leches cakes and this place popped up. So I called and asked a few questions and the person on the phone was incredibly sweet and charming. So I was like okay this is the spot. I put in my order and was able to customize the cake, I asked for it to be colorful with rainbows, blah blah blah. I felt pretty good about the order, pricing was good (Medium sized cake, custom, beautiful, gourmet for $45) so I was ready to be the best partner ever for the upcoming birthday. I am dumb. And I went to the wrong bakery because my memory did not serve me well. So I tried ubering to the correct bakery before they closed. I hate coming into establishments right before they close. I am a firm believer that the customer is always wrong. I worked at Panera Bread and jeez, all customers are stupid. Anyway. I called them to apologize and they were sweet and definitely had much better customer service experience than me. Although to be fair, if they yelled at me and punched me in the face, I know that I 100% deserved it because... why? The customer is always wrong :) Anyway, they were laughing and being sweet, reassuring me that everything was fine. But not everything was fine. The Uber driver's GPS dropped me off half a mile away. So I was freaking out. I called Daniel's Bakery again to be like "where is your shop??" and they pointed me in the right direction. They offered to pick me up and were very sweet but, because I am the customer and the customer is always wrong, I said "No it's okay! I am a fast runner!" Which is true but also I am a mess. So I am running up Washington street and this car pulls up on the other side of the road and the driver shouts, "Hey! Are you Franco?!" And I was laughing while out of breath and I responded with "yes" and she goes "Get in!" And she DROVE ME TO THE BAKERY. FIVE STAR SERVICE MAMA!!! Like wow, who else is gonna do that??? They were phenomenal. I was sweaty and out of breath, but I made it thanks to these lovely people. Everyone was nice and super friendly and the cake turned out better than I could have ever imagine!! My partner loved it and honestly, gay rights. Look at this cake. Amazing. It was so delicious. I will definitely return for my other special occasions. I am so fake because I said I would leave a yelp review that same day and then I didn't because I suck. But, excellent service. I cannot stress it enough. read more

Nice, chewy, fresh. I enjoyed the guava donut and the yucca cheese ring. I hope I can visit again soon. Customers should know that if their order is placed in a paper bag, the oils can seep through the paper bag and lightly stain the inside of their backpack like it did for me, but that's not the bakery's fault. You just have to be mindful of that when you take home your orders. Bring your own plastic bag to avoid the issue that I did (but it's a simple fix, I'll just wash my backpack.) read more

the cake was drier than a Popeyes biscuit And Popeyes biscuit are good. It was very unexceptional.

Thank you Daniel's Bakery for this beautiful cake back in October! I really appreciate it. It was delicious and the details were out of this world! My boyfriend got a red velvet cake with a custom design. I give Daniel's Bakery more than 5 Stars! read more

Always love this bakery. The half moons are my favorite (they use frosting instead of icing; actual half moons instead of the NYC 'black and white' cookies). Everything is always fresh and delicious. The yucca cheese rings are the best savory pastry (but rich, as they are fried, but so worth it). The quiches are also really tasty (buttery crust, good filling). Never have had anything from here I didn't like. read more

Best donuts ever!!! Along with a lot of other delicious treats. I'm moving to east Boston at the end of the month and boy, will I miss this place. Will definitely have to make trips back! read more

Cheesy bread is always great and staff is so sweet! Great spot in the neighborhood :)

Worst cake i've ever had. Ive been getting cakes from Daniels for over 20 years, it's where my whole family orders cakes from and ive always thought they are delicious and the best cakes around, and the 150-200 i usually spend on each of my kids cakes for birthdays is usually worth it but i bought a cake on wednesday for my daughter and niece who share a birthday and this cake was the DRIEST, HARDEST, most UN-FLAVORFUL thing i've ever had in my life!! I called on thursday to let them know about my experience and that i had the whole cake still sitting here from the night before aside from two small pieces that we cut. After the first persons reaction (they spit it out), I tried a fork full from the second piece and then my daughter took a bite of mine, then my son, we were all disgusted with it. It was really that bad! So no one ate any of it. i was ready to take the whole cake back so they could see for themselves how bad the texture was and that i had the whole thing still. The woman on the phone said that it wasn't their fault, that all cakes are made the same but cakes with fondant are dryer. I didn't know this, if they would have told me this when i was placing the order i wouldn't have ordered it and certainly wouldn't have paid over $250 for it. they said if i want a moist cake, next time order a whip cream cake. I am very unhappy with their response. I will never order from them again, and i will make sure no one i know does either. Stop and shop, costco and Bjs all have better cakes than this. As far as the appearance goes, it was bright and colorful, the fondant wasn't as pretty as what i found online but i'm my eyes it's like art and it's okay if it's not perfect. the pattern was spot on. i had the cake in the fridge until an hour before we sang happy birthday, it wasn't that hot out but Sally still started to melt and look scarier as her colors started to run. i'm so disappointed in this bakery though, they just lost a long time and loyal customer. read more

I stopped by to grab a simple buttercream half chocolate, half vanilla cake. Very good price for the 6/8 inch cake! Good selection, and they have fresh bread too. My roommate previously got a custom order for a chocolate and vanilla layered cake with apricot jam and whipped cream frosting - it was very good!! It's really nice to have a decent bakery that's close by that you can get cakes, cookies, bread, and all sorts of baked goods. I certainly will come back! read more

Ow wow, where to start? My Neighborhood go to bakery!! Decided to make this review because of my last order! I've got a cake for a friend that is lactose and gluten intolerant. I asked them to make and told them about the restrictions, they were fine with it. The cake had a very nice and clean looking decoration, with a mix of fruits, just the way we wanted. Everyone loved and my friend who is always looking for good options to shop because of the restrictions has become their customer too. In the past I've gotten cakes for myself, my wife, and for friends, everyone always loves their cakes, always nice and yummy. I've seen some wild decorations on their Instagram and in person as well when picking up my orders. I've got a bit of sweet tooth so I always try to stop by at the end of the day and get something to take home for after dinner. There is a dessert with Nutella and white cream in a small cup (I never got the name) that is just delicious. Be mindfull they are reaaaally busy on Fridays, Saturdays and for holidays so try to place a order in advance. read more

I think the sweets in the place were FANTASTIC. I got these raspberry cookies there that were literally the most delicious raspberry cookies that I have ever had. Their macaroons were also super tasted. I tried a cinnamon munchkin, and that was the most underwhelming thing I purchased. I wish I would have come back multiple times while I was in Boston. read more

I was a customer of Daniel bakery and I have bought a cake for my daughter the first time from them and it was great I purchased some cupcakes from them and it was awful the customer service has always been terrible I tried to work with them because it really was only one rude person and it's the older lady that does answer the phones they took my money delivered to me cupcakes that wasn't edible when I called to try and fix the situation the customer service was very disrespectful and I was told that I was not getting a refund that I had to take my business elsewhere after they have already received my money the delivery driver was 45 mins late when I called they put me on hold for 20 minutes or would hang up in my face this was the worst and I cannot get my money back and they knew what they were doing if you go there to get business I would say check out their reviews this seems to be a pattern of how they treat their customers and I just wish I stopped at my daughter's birthday cake and did no more business with them they absolutely take advantage of their customers. read more

Delivery is good. I loved the muffin I got but the Nutella cheesecake didn't meet my standards. Both Nutella and cheesecake are good separately but when you put Nutella on top of the cheesecake it got very chewy due to the temperature difference and I couldn't cut into it as well as I wanted to read more

The experience overall was not what it used to be. The cake tasted old and waited 45 min for the cake to be handed to me because it was not ready! I don't mind paying for quality but definitely worst experience ever. read more

If I could give 0 starts I would. I ordered coxhina, they were $6 each which is kind of a lot for one coxhina. The food arrived to me (I live 5 min away) cold and very greasy as if it was made the day before and not even heated up. So I heated it up and broke it open to look cause it didn't look rite, and the inside was all dough like play dough and there was hair in it and no cream cheese. So I called to have a new one or a refund and the manager told me very rudely that she wouldn't give me my money back because that's exactly how it's supposed to be served (which would be cold, old, uncooked and w hair in it). I have also now seen other reviews just like my experience, she definitely does not deserve or appreciate our business. read more

Daniel's Bakery - This is a piece of the uncooked hairy coxhina that is "exactly how it's served" - Bakeries Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

I'm very confused as to why the reviews are so high. Maybe I came on an off day. I came in the evening on a Wednesday... maybe business wasn't that good this week and everything was just leftovers but nothing was fresh. They all tasted like days-old cardboard. The only thing decent was the black and white cookie (which btw does not taste like a real black and white cookie. The icing was just whipped cream of some sort.) The other cookies and pastries were stale. The service was also terrible. The people in the bakery spent the entire time bickering with each other and completely didn't pay attention to us. We were just trying to order and get out! Also, the bakery was just really sterile looking. Bleh. There are SO MANY other better bakeries in town than this place. read more

Bought a few pastries here for delivery, so I don't know their experience with a whole pie or large catered cake. Everything was homemade and tasted really fresh. Definitely the old school Italian/Portuguese bakery vibe (down to the twine on the box). We ordered small eclairs, a slice of cake (cake slices come in their own separate containers), cheese danish, and a lobster tail (a large flaky dessert filled with homemade cream). Everything was sweet, but not so sweet that it tasted synthetic. The lobster tail was so large, two people ate from it. Will definitely order from this place again. They have a lot of classic items on the menu, combined with Brazilian savory style "appetizers". They cater and deliver, and also sell cake toppers. read more

I love this little neighborhood bakery, I especially love their fresh baked bread. Haven't really tried much else, but def 10/10 on their bread! read more

This bakery is AMAZING!!! I was walking on Washington st and stumbled into this place. I found out it's a family owned bakery that has been around for 55 years! The service here is always friendly and warm. I think the older family members may not know English too well but their daughter is always there to help explain or recommend things. Everything is baked fresh and they have an assortment of bread, sweet bread, cookies, cakes, pastries, etc. They definitely have some goodies that I have never seen before and I haven't tried anything I haven't liked yet. So it's nice to grab a cup of coffee and some random goodies that catches my eyes. I HIGHLY recommend the raspberry and guave cookies with powdered sugar on them. It's made really really well! It's sweet (not overly) and it's a little chewy haha I'm a sucker for chewie cookies Plus, everything in here is seriously cheap!! I got a box of a large pastry and 9 cookies for only $5.60!!! I'll definitely come back and try more of their pastries and the fact that they are family owned makes me want to support them even more. You just don't find fresh homemade goodies like this anymore. Check it out :) read more

Ordered a birthday cake it was so dry you could not eat it. I plan on returning it. tomorrow.Owner refused to take it back frosting was very greasy read more

I paid $168 for a beautiful cake that we couldn't eat at all. The cake looked exactly how I wanted it to look. It looked amazing but it was sooooooo darn dry that NO ONE ate it. I felt so guilty throwing away the cake. Their cake are usually really good, not sure what happen that day. I wanted to also order a graduation cake for my high school graduate but I'm definitely not risking it after seeing how my nephew's birthday cake turned out. I was not happy at all especially paying so much money for a cake that we couldn't eat. Disappointed... read more

Don't know how this place doesn't have higher reviews, but I've been here a few times since moving to the area and every time I've been pleasantly surprised. Like others, we've started coming here for our bread when we only need that and don't want to make a social distancing trip to the bigger grocery stores. Who knew a pandemic would be such a positive thing for locally sourced food staple businesses... read more

Service was quick and friendly, though we browsed around for a good five minutes. I settled on the Coconut Flan (Oh my goodness it was unbelievable!) Someone got the chocolate cake with a cherry on top. And someone else got the cappuccino muffin. We also bought a loaf of banana bread to split. The flan alone puts this place at 5 stars for me. It was like a coconut macaroon on the bottom and sweet, perfectly baked flan on top. To die for if you like flan, custard or coconut. The chocolate cake was so-so. Decent but not really good at all. Since I grew up around award winning bakers I can be pretty dang demanding about my baked goods. The cappuccino muffin was different. Not really too coffee flavored, I also tasted a touch of orange and a strange spiciness. I didn't care for my bite but the individual who ordered it was happy. What caused this place to have 3 stars and not 4 was really the banana nut bread. It was dry. Really dry. Too dry. And crumbly. Not very much flavor. Not very sweet. No one liked it and I wouldn't know of anyone who might even. But if you even remotely like flan, seriously get your tail over to Daniel's right now. Or tomorrow. Wait no longer than that. I don't know how I'm going to fit enough exercise into my schedule to burn off those delicious slices of coconut flan because now I just can't live without them!! read more

3.5 stars Daniel's Bakery has the BEST whipped cream (with fruit) cakes and ice cream cakes I've ever had. Although the frosting is not very smooth, the inside is the more important part. The cake is soft and fluffy as is the whipped cream - perfect sweetness; the ice cream is creamy; the fruit is fresh (get strawberry banana!); and the default decoration is simple, but pretty. You can go all out with the Disney decorations upon request. My family has been ordering from here for every annual occasion since I was a kid. And everyone always asks, "where's the cake from?" I've tried the other confections, but they're not good at all, although gingerbread cookies aren't too bad. Definitely stick with the whole cakes only. Daniel's is also one of the few bakeries that actually delivers! read more

They have one of the best tees leches cakes I've ever had. The frosting is whipped and they even add a bit of dulce de leche on top of the cake, which really complements it. Also, they're tiramisu is also amazing! I discovered this bakery on uber eats. read more

Neighborhood staple! I love coming here. The workers are always very kind and patient. I adore their fresh bread and their yucca donuts. They also always have cookies that are beautifully decorated. I'll be ordering a few dozen for an upcoming party! read more

I very much enjoy their desserts and pastries - when they are FRESH..but when it comes to the savory food it's really not that great. Every time I order cheese pastel..I get chicken. NOT the same thing. What if I was a vegetarian? These are serious mistakes to make. If you do not have plain cheese pastels - take it off your menu. But DO NOT substitute it for what ever you'd like. That's not good service at all. The cheese breads are always really cold and definitely not fresh. taste like they've been made in the morning and just left in a tray.. sometimes it even tastes like it was made the day before. Just has a really old taste - ridiculous. If I can make fresh cheese breads at home in 15-20 mins then there is absolutely no reason they can't make it to order as well. You shouldn't charge people for old food. NOT GOOD at all. This place used to be wonderful. Not sure if the owner has changed but the quality has really taken a dive. Quite unfortunate. read more

Daniels Bakery used to be a place offering good products and quality service, sadly it is not the case anymore. For 7 years I have been a faithful customer ordering a sweet bread for a family tradition every year. This year the order was ready 2.5 hours late with no apology. My husband had to walk there twice - it was supposed to be ready at 3pm but they told him it will be ready at 4:30... at 4:30 they told him it was almost ready, they finally gave him the order at 5:20 (when they close at 5). The traditional challah style brioche bread that I ordered was replaced by low quality soft white bread covered in unedible sugar paste. I went there to express my disappointment and faced a rude and belligerent woman who never introduced herself and refused to own up to the poor service and the lack of quality that I was telling her about. My order was for a Saturday, they are closed on Sunday and I work Mondays so I only got a chance to visit the store on Tuesday to tell them about my disappointment. The rude lady refused to even hear my complaint about the quality of the product and the quality of the service, she wanted me to prove my story by bringing her the 4 days old bread that was long gone in the trash due to it's poor quality. I was not even asking for a refund, I was just trying to give them (privately) my feedback to make sure that the same problem wouldn't ruin next year's celebration. But I basically got kicked out of the store and accused of lying. I'm very sad and disappointed when I think of all the years that I've been a good customer of the store to the point that they advertise my family traditional brioche in their "special orders" book. read more

My quarantine go-to I'd rarely stopped here before recent lockdown but I plan on many future visits. I've been a few times including ordering a custom bday cake (day of the bday) that was delicious. Raspberry lining with a vanilla cake. It was still moist 3 days later and the frosting was not too sweet. I've also enjoyed the ham and cheese croissant, the guava donut and especially the guava danish. Hard to find Guava treats in Boston. Staff is super friendly, too read more

Stopped in here for the first time to grab an assortment of cookies. Possibly the worst cookies I have ever had, and my kids thought so as well. They were thin, dry, and stale. The molasses was molasses in color but the taste was undefinable. The bake your own super market sugar- cookies are better than the sugar cookies I got here. read more

We ordered a quarter sheet cake for a graduation. I neglected to ask the price before making the order and it was for over $90! Yes, it had a fruit filling but otherwise was a normal yellow cake with regular icing. It was too late for me to go anywhere else so I paid it. Well, it's nothing too special. The pineapple filling was just okay. It wasn't bad but it was not worth $93. So make sure you ask the price first. The rest of the bakery had a lot of nice looking pastries and such but I didn't try any. read more
