Quiche, salted caramel chocolate chip cookie, strawberry apple juice
Victoria C.

A cute little bakery in Ipswich right next to the library. I came on a weekday for lunch with a friend and got a quiche, cookie, and strawberry apple juice. They also have a menu with breakfast items and sandwiches that are made to order. There's window seating inside and a few tables for outdoor dining. The quiche was really good, a bit eggy with veggies in it and the crust was crispy. The chocolate chip cookie was standard and the molasses cookie was chewy. The strawberry apple juice was something I had never seen before, but was still sweet and had hints of strawberry. The bakery was bustling with lots of people and orders coming in and out. Overall, a nice place to stop by if you're in the area.

Biscuit breakfast sandwich

Wow! One of our best finds on our weekend trip in Ipswich. We stopped by for breakfast on Sunday and ordered the biscuit breakfast sandwich, avocado toast, and 2 biscuits to go. The biscuit breakfast sandwich was the best thing we had. The egg was so fluffy, the sausage was so juicy, and the biscuit was crispy and perfect. I'm still dreaming of it back in Boston. Also definitely add the aioli...yum. I think they only offer the biscuit breakfast sandwich on Sundays otherwise you have to get the regular breakfast sandwich. Not sure how that one will compare. The avocado toast was fresh and the cucumbers added a nice touch. The 2 biscuits we got to go were also perfect even 6 hours later. Can't wait to go back when I'm in the area.

As former residents of Jamaica Plain, we were delighted to find ourselves in Gloucester and near the newish Sandpiper Bakery...the owner/baker used to run the fabulous Canto Six in JP. Everything is delicious and high quality. Menu changes constantly. Check out their insta to see specials.

Bacon egg and cheese on focaccia
Ryan R.

We stayed in Gloucester for 2 days (a little "staycation", desperately needed) and got to try a little bit of everything at Sandpiper. The good: the pastries are outrageously good, service is friendly, the lunch sandwiches were bomb (especially the BLT and the Caprese). The so-so: the breakfast sandwiches were a bit of miss - I'm not sure it was due to my expectation of a hearty, filling bacon, egg and cheese, but the way in which the eggs were prepared left a lot to be desired. It tasted like a hybrid between scrambled and a souffle, and it was definitely more of a high-brow breakfast sandwich akin to Flour. Overall, I'd recommend sticking with the bakery goods and lunch sandwiches, but could just be my personal preference. Either way, Sandpiper is awesome and worth checking out!

Turkey sandwich. It typically comes on focaccia, but I asked for a baguette today. Delicious and fresh!

What's not to love? This place is amazing! The food is so FRESH, from the salads to the baked items. They use quality ingredients here and everything is homemade. The bread is just to die for. I've never gotten a sandwich I didn't like here. This time I ordered the turkey sandwich and requested it be on a baguette instead of focaccia. So yummy. I got a toppo as well, which was basically a small brownie bite. It was the perfect size dessert to have after such a big sandwich and it was tasty. I also enjoyed a Pigeon Cove kombucha, one of the numerous drinks they offer here in a small retail fridge (where they also sell hummus, water, homemade chicken salad, among other things). The interior is very cute with some shelving offering boutique-style sauces and kitchen items. There is some bar seating at the window, but not much - 7 seats total. There is more seating outside with some bistro tables on the sidewalk and benches. The service is fast - they move the line quickly and give clear expectations for when your order will be ready. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in Ipswich!

Daily special tart, cold brew, chocolate croissant
Norma T.

Worth driving a bit out of the way to visit. Excellent pastries and great coffee from Tandem. Small shop but typically easy to find a seat or two. Clearly they put a lot of effort in their offerings and they change often. TIP - Check their social to find what they have daily. Their seasonal savory tarts are delicious! Highly recommend.

Incredible bakery! The chocolate almond croissant is insanely good, and it is also a nice place for a coffee or sandwich.

This was a spur of the moment find on our way to Hammond Castle (also well worth a visit). We were…read morehangry and looking for breakfast-ish options and Source Bakery more than hit the spot. Their menu is centered around the almighty biscuit - biscuits/scones are one of my favorite ways to inhale carbs but they can run on the too bread-y side of the spectrum. These were fantastic: delicate crumb, beautiful golden color, and sturdy enough to hold in all the sandwich fillings. I went with the classic breakfast egg sandwich (scrambled egg, cheese, and arugula) and added sausage. This was one of those rare situations where the bread vehicle outshined the fillings. The egg, while nice and fluffy (and tasted like real egg instead of the diluted mix I've had elsewhere), could have used some more seasoning and was begging for a healthy dollop of ketchup or hot sauce. The only thing that came through strongly was the salt crystals on the top of the biscuit. Tried a bite of my husband's chicken salad on a cheddar/onion biscuit and had the same reaction - the biscuit overpowered everything else. Not that I'm complaining. The bakery is on a side street off the busier, more touristy Rogers Street. I had this idea too late but next time I'm in Gloucester, I'd take a biscuit sandwich to the beach area along Western Ave. The cafe itself is very, very cute, with little nooks and crannies everywhere for seating and even a comfy looking couch. Bathroom was clean. We found a parking lot one street over in the other direction.
