parking - first time here and it was a little difficult to find the place. we didn't know where to park, still don't, and couldn't figure it out. we ended up on a meter spot in the streets a couple parking lots away. ambiance - you walk in and through the long hallway corridor finally arriving at your destination, the ordering counter. we got the curry sandwich and the tarragon chicken sandwich. one cookie and one lemon bar later with a coffee. you get a cup and serve the coffee yourself. i like this as i can concoct the coffee to my likings. that day i put in 75% decaf with 25% medium roast. i already had some tea at home and didn't need to turn into beavis asking do you have tp for my bungholio. everything was super fresh. i'll have to ask if they can warm the sandwich up next time coz i think that would take it to the next level of sandwiches. dare i ask if they can panini it? the lemon bar was good in flavor, texture, and very loaded in sugar. read more

Nashoba Brook Bakery in West Concord, Massachusetts has the best bread on the planet. Period. Variety, exceptional quality, either to go or eat-in. Our fave breads: Sourdough; Harvest; French; 7-Grain. All savory food is amazing from perfectly made sandwiches, simple or elaborate; soups; quiches; and changing salads, muffins, scones, French toast. Many items are available for take-home: ready for soon, or frozen for later. Can't beat their whole quiches for a perfect easy meal. Sweets are extraordinary & ever-changing, too: berry pies, cherry cookie bars, lemon bars & cupcakes, chocolate brownies. By the piece or whole, desserts are great. Probably you'll be full from meal: bags for later or now are standard. No need to ask. Hot & Cold Coffees and Teas selection and quality: wow. just WOW. Cold juices & other beverages great too. Best of all: the atmosphere, inside and out. Warm, inviting, neighborly yet special. Nashoba Brook is a delightful tributary of the Assabet River, with picnic tables alongside its blue and green beauty: birds singing, and a lovely footbridge over the Brook leads to the parking lot in back, off Winthrop Street in West Concord (easily accessible from Mass Ave). Using GPS? Google medical building: " 56 Winthrop St, Concord, MA" to locate parking lot. Drive to back of lot: Look for bakery's Slow Rise trucks: you're there! Enter via footbridge over Nashoba Brook, walk to right till you see Nashoba Brook Bakery sign on left. Easier than it sounds -- with detailed how-to-get-there directions 1st time. There is also a bike rack at Bakery/town end of footbridge. Recent expansion led to front door on Mass Ave closed (wasn't as attractive); follow signs & listen for babbling Nashoba Brook to back of building to enter. Much nicer riverside back entrance -- I have used it since 1998! Indoors is filled with chairs (comfy low, or high for Brook views); paintings; photographs; plus notices for local music, drama, workshops, & other events. That wonderful aroma of breads baking, fresh coffee brewing, & delicious other dishes-that-day will lure you in. Breads, Breakfast, Brunch, and Lunch are core focus, so Nashoba Brokow Bakery does close at 4:00 pm. Open daily 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, 7 days a week. Great to follow on Insta and Facebook for specials. Or just get up and GO!!! You'll be glad you did. read more

Let me start this promo off by saying I've lived in Acton my entire life and I have NEVER liked this place. Always full of pretentious and stuck up people who think that they're better than everyone else in a terrible location to boot. Well guess what, my mom loves coming here because she doesn't drink coffee and they have a few other options including chai latte. Sure mom, whatever you want even though this place sucks lol. I put in an order for us this morning at 9:56 for two drinks and we live down the street so I got there at 10 thinking it would be close to done. This place doesn't start making your drink until the estimated pickup time on the label apparently. Why on earth did you estimate a 30 minute pickup for 10:26 for two drinks when you weren't even remotely busy? You clearly saw me there for 40 minutes waiting for an order while people just waltzed in, ordered and got their order before I did. You didn't think to ask me what I was there waiting for? Here's the cherry on top. When my drinks were finally ready at 10:41, I mentioned I had been there since 10. "Your pickup time was 10:26". Yeah and it's 10:41 and it just got handed to me. 15 minutes later than the estimate that was already 20 minutes overestimated to begin with. Beyond obnoxious and inconsiderate of you to say I can't stand this place. I seriously can't. Never again. I could have ordered at every Dunks in Acton, stopped at Mickey D's for a McMuffin and gotten back to my house before you finished my order today. Inexcusable read more

I visited the bakery and cafe after enjoying some sourdough rolls through a food delivery service. We stopped by on a Saturday around lunch time. Each child had a sandwich (turkey for one and ham for the other.) My spouse and I shared a curried chicken salad. The server was very patient in explaining and walking me through the salad! The food tasted good and a good value, especially the kids sandwiches. They could definitely share one sandwich next time. Spouse and kids shared a chocolate chip cookie that I'm told was fine. I didn't buy any bread, but I'd summarize this as a bakery that also provides good value sandwiches. I was disappointed that none of the baked goods were sourdough; that would have been a pleasant surprise. I do love their mission with the sourdough bread. read more

Got the #1 meal to go, cost about $12. It was good, although I would've liked it in a sandwich form rather than open faced. Overall decent place once you get inside. It was pretty quiet, we went on a Friday morning. Have always loved their bread! read more

Nashoba Brook bakery makes the absolute best sandwiches! Everything is so fresh and although it is a little pricey, it's completely worth it! not to mention, they have the freshest bread you could ask for! read more

If you own store can't take that many tgtg orders, then control the daily order number instead of letting people drive there and get order cancelled by store. My order pickup window was 15-16 and my order was cancelled at 15：40, really? First time ever saw on this app that store cancel order. Surprise. tgtg is a good place for new Acton resident to know great stores nearby and obviously Nashoba is too popular so that it don't need another local customer. You guys have 274 reviews and 4.8 high score, awesome, stay with the current customer pool and don't ever expand. read more

I had the half soup of the day and a sandwich.Delicious food. Generous portions Cute place. Nice people. Good prices. Perfect!

Made my own sandwich with Harvest bread, which had some cranberries and nuts but other than that didn't have much flavor, green apple, which was really watery for some reason, lettuce, grilled chicken- they put a ton of chicken on there compared to the small proportion of the rest of the ingredients, and finally cheddar. They gave me Swiss cheese though, and although it was fine, I don't think it was as good. The food took a decent time to come out, but they were busy, so it was expected. Restaurant was cute, but a little dirty. I had a dead moth fall onto my plate, which I freaked out at then flicked away. Not bad, but not amazing. read more

This isn't your usual bakery ladies and gentlemen. This is mom and pop shop comforting and caring service combined with what feels like world class ingredients and taste profiles. It's as if a Michelin star restaurant and your grandma collaborated to open a place. This is bread bliss, a sandwich sanctuary. Tom Brady mentioned this place in a 2013 pre season interview and I've been coming here ever since! read more

Amazing food, amazing people! To anyone visiting the New England area, highly recommend you hit this before you leave- and if you're based there and have never been, what're you doing?? read more

What an incredible place to eat outdoors! They have the BEST bread in town! They also have delicious sandwiches, homemade pies, cupcakes and cakes. We ate a prosciutto, goat and Gouda cheese, onion, lettuce and chipotle mayo sandwich- you can create your own. They also have great drinks such as kombucha and sparkling water from Italy. This place has incredible taste and I'm so glad we stopped by for Thanksgiving Eve! They are abiding by the Covid rules and regulations - and make sure you order ahead or you can wait in line for food too. The friendly staff, atmosphere and the food of course are absolutely excellent! GET DAT BREAD here! read more

I've been to the bakery several times, and the food is delicious and always fresh! The bread is fantastic. A friend told me she brought it home to her family one day, and now they only want bread from Nashoba! The staff is friendly and always willing to answer any questions. I highly recommend Nashoba Brook Bakery; you need to check it out. It will become one of your favorite lunch spots! I'm so glad I found this great spot! Michelle Brooks read more

Best potato bread anywhere. Traveled from N H to Concord M A. We recommend this Bakery. read more

Came for the long weekend to have a scone and tea and look at the Concord River. Very relaxing. Very solid scone and 7 layer bar, which was really sweet but good. I had the orange hibiscus tea, which was full of flavor because of the sachet of tea they used. read more

I'm so bummed to write a bad review. In all fairness, I did visit about 30 mins before they closed, so that might have made a difference. I walked in and no one acknowledged me at all despite being the only one in line. The two people behind the counter looked busy, so I waited...and waited...and waited. Finally, I just ordered and paid on their online kiosk-those orders looked like they were being attended to. I went to the bathroom while i waited and found it smelling like shit with paper towels all over the floor and the changing table broken. I had been pleased to see that there even was a changing table for my baby but I couldn't use it. Nor would i have because the bathroom was dirty and smelly. Nope. So, after 10 mins of no acknowledgement and no food, I just left. There was one other person in the whole bakery and still nothing from the staff. Keep my $12. I'll never be back. read more

I went today 10/23/23. 1st time there. At least when I went the parking was full except for the handicap, the place inside was clean, friendly staff. I got their in-house sourdough bread, and is super good. My son got their croissant and it was good as well. read more

Nice bakery hidden from a busy street. Next to a relaxing brook. Good snacks and meals!

I like this place. I'll stop in to pick up their excellent bread, or croissants, and they earn top marks for that. But what I really like goes beyond mere baked goods and coffee. Nashoba Brook Bakery's ambiance is a little island of comfort that always recharges my spirits. It's eclectic, casual, comfortable, and just invites intimate conversation or individual reflection. I'm enjoying an excellent cup of coffee while sitting in an old Craftsman style armchair now, thinking about my day ahead. It's cold outside, and through the full length windows I can see Nashoba Brook burbling outside, and the understandably empty benches in the sunshine. Do stop in for Nashoba Brook Bakery's excellent sourdough, or sweet treat, or sandwich. Stay for the personal sustenance, and go forth recharged! read more

Bread, pastries, and coffee. Three of my favorite foods! Nashoba Brook Bakery is a little hard to find if you've never been here before, but as you make your way back to this cozy spot, you'll find a display filled with too many tasty looking treats, a large list of sandwiches, and numerous espresso/tea based drinks. I had a chai tea latte and a piece of French almond cake. The chai was excellent, just slightly sweet and nice and spicy. The French almond cake was good, but the texture wasn't my favorite on this cake. I would try something different next time! There is ample seating both inside and out, although the tables are strewn with slightly off putting signage requesting that patrons essentially eat and leave. I love working in coffee shops, as do many others, so I felt a little unwelcome with these signs. It seems like they're having issues with people camping out all day, but it made me feel uncomfortable about ordering a coffee/pastry and doing some work for a couple of hours. I don't think I would go back to work, but it would be nice for lunch/meeting friends. read more

I was going for a hike in the area and was looking for a quick and tasty lunch. Nashoba Brook Bakery is tucked away in a larger office building of sorts and has a solid variety of sandwiches and bakery items as well as coffee for breakfast/brunch/lunch options. There are also a number of picnic tables outside overlooking a lovely view of the the brook, all in all making it a lovely pit stop on the way, or all in its own. read more

The business manager's response to my review is an insinuation that I was lying about my experience. I know what I saw, and the bread was not handled with the bag as a glove. End of story! However, I wish this bakery the best. read more

The sourdough is top notch. The sandwiches are also delicious, however it's hit or miss whether they come how you ordered them. Today I ordered the factory 152 and it was great except there was no chicken on it lol. Kind of a rip off but I still ate it. I wish they had a little more attention to detail but i'm not gonna stop going there. Maybe just check the sandwich before you go back home or to work. read more

I love Nashoba Brook Bakery ! The food and drinks are awesome. I go in there and everyone is ways so welcoming and friendly. The wait times are decent and whenever I place an order online it's ready at the scheduled time ; sometimes even before !! read more

Great food! Really appreciate that they are willing to accept customer feedback and I will continue to visit when on the bike trail.

The breads are delicious. Soups are good too. Seating could be better. Sometimes tables are not clean especially during the lunch crowd.

Great bakery, almost tucked in a building that is inconspicuous! There are a variety of baked goods and many sandwiches made fresh on the spot. I ordered the corn beef and chicken pot pie, both were delicious. I do think the pot pie could use some sauce for more texture and flavor. I'd like to come back for their croissants. read more

Great sandwiches, prepared for you as you like them. Their breads are delicious and so many varieties.

The turkey sandwich is amazing. Love this place and the owners! Cozy, friendly, atmosphere

We had coffee, breakfast and pastries and all of them were great The service we got with a big smile was very nice and what can I say about the ambiance? This place is very cozy read more

I've been coming to this cafe for years, and it never fails to impress! I love their vegetarian sandwich options and their commitment to sustainability over the years. Since trying their bread, it's hard for me to buy sourdough from anywhere else! Rosemary garlic and 7 grain are particular favorites. The cafe seating is cozy but spacious, and the outdoor seating by the brook is beautiful. The staff are consistently kind and helpful. read more

this place is so amazing, i have been here so many times and the bread is probably my favorite I've had! The food is great everyone so sweet just an overall lovely place read more

I've been the biggest fan of nashoba brook bakery since I was a kid. I come here often and it's the perfect cozy scene to do some school work and eat/drink something yummy. The people have always been so kind to me and the service is great. I had to write this review after I came in this morning and had one of my fave sandwiches - the Old Manse - a twist on the Italian sub :) forgot to take a pic but YUM!! read more

Why didn't I know about this place sooner? This bakery EXCELS when it comes to bread. They have an array of breads from the usual suspects like sourdough and multigrain to rotational offerings like pepperjack cheese bread and rosemary garlic bread. I got the pepperjack cheese bread and it was absolutely excellent. The next time I go I will be sure to visit on a day that they have the rosemary garlic bread (some of the bread offerings rotate so you may want to check in advance before you go if you have your heart set on a particular loaf!) I grabbed a peanut butter cookie and a chocolate peanut butter latte to go along with the bread. The peanut butter cookie was amongst the best I've ever had. Perfectly chewy with bits of peanuts and melt-in-your-mouth goodness. The latte was so-so. I don't normally get peanut butter in my drinks so I'd go for a different beverage next time. They have seating indoors and outdoors that overlooks a small river. Some people were enjoying their coffees and pastries outside and in a socially distant way. I'm not comfortable with that yet, but once more people receive their COVID vaccines I would love to be able to enjoy their outdoor space. read more

I've been coming to the Nashoba Brook Bakery for years and have always found the food (particularly the potato bread and their soups) to be fantastic. Visiting a cafe next to a scenic brook is hard to beat. The staff -- particularly Ashley, Nicole, and Alex -- are hard-working and focused on meeting the needs of an often-demanding crowd. The only complaint I have is about some of the customers. Something about our era (or maybe it's Massachusetts) makes a certain kind of customer feel entitled to be hyper-critical and assholic here on Yelp (and in restaurants). No, the Nashoba Brook Bakery isn't fine dining. But the food, service, and ambiance are almost always excellent. Consider being kind and understanding when you don't get exactly what you want, immediately. Might start a trend. read more

Nicole and Alex, and their team are the hardest working people in show business at the NBB. They deserve more appreciation then they get from a very demanding daily crowd. My order is always done well and on time. I appreciate their attention to detail and that they strive to get it right. I also have observed the staff's patience and understanding with older customers that frequent the café. Best time to visit is after 1pm when the crowd lightens up. read more

Grab a coffee; and enjoy a muffin! While sipping tour coffee, relax by the window and watch the brook babbling by. Then, purchase a loaf of bread or a bagette for dinner. What a great way to start your day. read more

Excellent bread and baked goods, a beautiful and fun local space to come and grab a warm drink and a cozy breakfast, lunch, or snack.

I've ordered from Nashoba Brook Bakery and the food is always fresh and delicious! I usually order lunches because I work locally and the curry chicken salad or anything with the chipotle mayo are my favorites. I also had them cater a small gathering at my house- the quiches and pastries was wonderful!! read more

I go there every Tuesday and Friday for lunch. It is phenomenal. The quality of food, service, ambiance, etc. The staff are wonderful people and always take good care of the customers. My favorite item to get is the Walden with Bacon. Cant wait for my next trip to Nashoba! read more
