The macarons were squishy and tasty. Great flavors - lemon and peanut butter. I also got a giant peanut butter cookie that was perfect consistency and not dry at all! Very nice customer service. Well done, we will definitely come back here again. read more

I poked in here to see what was going on. It smelled so delicious when I walked in, I was intrigued. So many yummy things to check out. I ended up with a piece of delicious lemon cheesecake. The wonderful owner/Baker was delightful. Definitely will come back here when I'm swinging by. read more

The Naked Lemon - Bakeries Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

See all

I decided to support a local business and ordered a custom cake for my father-in-law's birthday. After searching for bakeries in Astoria, I chose The Naked Lemon based on reviews and their reputation for carrot cake, which is his favorite. Ordering online was simple, and I scheduled a Friday pickup for a Sunday celebration. However, when my husband arrived (slightly late due to other errands), we discovered the cake had already been placed in the display case to be sold by the slice--even though it had been prepaid ($70). We never received a call to confirm pickup. He watched as the cake was removed from the display and placed into a box that was clearly too small. Instead of correcting this, the employee covered it with saran wrap and sent it with him that way. The cake itself looked very poorly finished, with large areas missing frosting. When my husband asked about it, the response he received was dismissive and unhelpful. After he left, I called the bakery myself and was met with even worse customer service. I was told I should have "done more research" and that this is simply how their cakes look. When I expressed concern about freshness (since the cake was for Sunday and not properly boxed), I was told I should have ordered it closer to the date. I explained our schedule, but the response was essentially, "I don't know what to tell you," and I was refused any refund or solution. The interaction felt rude and dismissive, with no concern for customer satisfaction. Unfortunately, the cake itself was just as disappointing. When we cut into it, it crumbled apart. It lacked flavor, had chunks that seemed like uncooked flour, and the little frosting it did have was bland and uneven. Overall, it seemed rushed and poorly made. As a small business owner myself, I understand things don't always go perfectly--but the lack of care in both product quality and customer service was extremely disappointing. I truly wish I had a better experience and let me remind you the cake was $70 dollars. read more

I'm rating this based on a gingerbread macaroon that I got. It was only $3.50 for a sizable macaroon and it was throughly yummy! I loved every bite of it. The decor is also very cute inside. read more

Honestly...what I had wasn't all that great. Nothing to race about here. I got a lemon blueberry scone, chocolate chip cookie, and a black coffee. Coffee was fresh and extremely hot, cookie was very large, and the scone was a cross between dry and moist. I liked the flavor of the coffee, whatever blend they use its bold and strong. The size of their cookies is awesome and it was crunchier on the outside but the middle was nice and chewy. I'd have to say that the cross of dry and moist would have equate to almost a stale texture. Sadly it barely had flavor and even the glaze did not supplement for the lack of taste. We went around 10a on a Monday morning and so I didn't feel like getting macarons or their cheesecake (which look phenomenal). Only two people working, one multi-tasking both as a cashier/ baker and the other just a baker. read more

These macarons had no business being this phenomenal!!! They are the best I've ever had! (And I've been to Paris lol). Unsuspecting magical little bakery worth a stop. Stock up, or you'll regret it! We got 4, thinking that was way too many, and it wasn't enough! read more

Stopped in here for sweets while on a road trip and my only regret is not getting more ginger cookies. I had those and carrot cake cupcakes, both of which were amazing. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area. read more

I can only comment on the cookie's as in Chocolate chip and peanut butter. They were closed in about 45min and only had 4 pink macaroons and a whole bunch of molasses, peanut butter and chips chip cookies. I got em all ! Well not the whole bin but one of each. They all lacked anything interesting or as my fine lady said "anything in flavor". Yeah they were big and $6.50 each but that's about it. They were absolutely bland, really crunchy on the outside and semi moist on the inside yet lacked any flavor. Def made with low quality chocolate chips as well as peanut butter. My Elbow and Elvis is giving them 2 for blah, blah cookies! read more

I need to go here more often. I am in love with the cakes here, but now I've been converted to French macarons. I've not ever been a fan, but consider me one now. Aleesha makes the BEST macarons. I have a habit now... which is good, as I want to help support this bakery any way I can. read more

I got the crab scone and the texture was perfect for my lunch!! I also got a macaron, ad someone who makes them I would 100% recommend sifting your almond flour because that will make the mouthfeel more ideal. The flavor was a little lacking with the lemon, but I'm so so glad the buttercream wasn't too thick or sweet because I was worried about that! Ambiance was cute and great for a little shop off the main road! read more

Absolutely fabulous! I needed a variety of cakes and desserts for my great-nieces graduation party and this bakery was amazing. I have probably tasted 200 carrot cakes in my lifetime and this by far exceeded anything I have ever had. Aleeshs' carrot cake is absolutely delicious. And everything was so beautifully decorated in Astoria high school colors. Her macaroons are always worth my drive from Gearhart! So delicious! I was the star of the graduation party. read more

The Naked Lemon - Cookies, scones, and macaroons - Bakeries Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

I heard about this place before coming to Astoria and had to stop once I saw it in town! There's parallel parking in front of the bakery, really all down the street TNL is on & it's free! Me and my husband came late Thursday afternoon and we were the only ones in so plenty of time to be indecisive - Lemon and maple macaroons: delicious. This was my macaroon cherry popper and it didn't miss. Both were soft and easy to bite. The outer part and the filling had sooo much flavor, and it wasn't sweet which I loved. I would def. Pick the lemon over the maple but it was still delicious! - Lemon blueberry scone: The scone was good. It wasn't too dry and the texture was on point. The piece I had had a decent amount of blueberries. However, the icing was too sweet for me :( - Chocolate chip cookie: I put it in the microwave about 10 secs and it was *chefs kiss*. 10/10 easy. - Carrot cake: the cake itself was moist and had great flavor. The icing, I just could put my finger on it if it had lemon or lime in it? Just I wasn't a fan of the icing on the carrot cake. I 100% recommend stopping in if you're in Astoria! read more

NEW LOCATION: 1423 Commercial Street (Yelp has the old address; unfortunately Yelp wouldn't take my update suggestion to list the new location- Google has it correct!) The owner was AMAZING and stayed open late on a Friday when I called and said my kiddos and I were trekking over from the old location Yelp directed us to. And SO SO happy she did! The macaroons were perfectly baked-not chewy and not dry, great flavor and HUGE! The cookies are also ginormous - the molasses gingerbread is an absolute must try. read more

Don't expect this place to open contrary to what you read by Yelp, Google as they are never open even though they list the hours. I have driven here almost all days when they are supposed to be open and yet they are closed. Name should be changed to "Closed Lemon". It tells you a lot when they don't even post the hours on the store front. I even tried to contact them by phone and you cannot leave a voice message. I mean this is a business. read more

Got a macaron and it was AMAZING!! It was also super big which is such a plush with bakeries. I love when macarons are bigger so you can actually get a good taste and more then one bite. It was lemon and super soft. My mom got a PB cookie and it was also very good. read more

SO SO GOOD! Came here on a rec from foodiesnitch, a food blogger in portland. The location has updated from the one listed here which we found out when we arrived. We grabbed some tea to go, and tried one of each of their lovely holiday flavored macarons. Let me tell you these are hands down the best i've ever had. They're HUGE, with tons of super creamy filling. The egg nog is INCREDIBLE. All of them were honestly, I was just very impressed as I'd never had holiday macarons before. PLEASE I beg you, go support the naked lemon! You will not regret it. read more

Stopped by after passing while in Astoria for the weekend. My husband had one of the giant choc chip cookies which he said was good (not great) I picked a rose macaron (I'm a huge macaron fan). The appearance of the macaron (not flat and smooth, but very knobbly), should have been a red flag but I gave it the benefit of doubt considering they are a bakery and are charging $2.99 per macaron... Absolutely terrible, crunchy (pieces were flying everywhere with each bite, no chew & no taste whatsoever. I'd be embarrassed to give them away let alone sell them :( read more

This review is a LONG time coming! For the last three years, my husband and I have visited Astoria in the spring/summer. And every time we are in town The Naked Lemon is our go to stop! The owner, Aleesha, is super friendly, creative, and talented. Her ability to pair creative flavors in a pastry that looks almost too good to eat is amazing. If traditional flavors are your thing-- don't worry she knocks those out of the park too. Like these delicious chocolate chip cookies that we picked up last time Seriously, do yourself a favor and stop by the next time you're in town. read more

Quick review. Made a quick stop, grabbed a huge cookie and some Macaroons. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend.

Didn't get to try much, but the crispy, cinnamony palmier-like pastries they have are AMAZING. Can't wait to go back for more treats!

Most excellent pastries! I had almond scone, with hot chai tea. Mouth-watering macaroni were being made. I'm sure a cake from this bakery would also be a treat! read more

The Naked Lemon - French Macaron vanilla flavor - Bakeries Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

Pleasantly surprised. We were walking and window shopping in Astoria this last weekend and always lured in by bakeries. There was not much to choose from - blueberry scones, giant snickerdoodles, two kinds of cupcakes and two choices of French Macaroons. I was a little disappointed at the selection and headed out to use the restroom. Upon my return my bf was purchasing one each of the Macaroons... The Best French Macaroons I have ever had!!! They looked good and tasted even better! I had given up on these colorful macaroons as I was always disappointed with hard too sweet no flavor, too fluffy cream etc for something that is supposedly a French cuisine treat. The Naked Lemon nailed it. The two we shared were straight up Vanilla and Cookies & Cream. Super fresh, not too sweet and the perfect cream filling. read more

I love Naked Lemon--the mermaid latte is where it's at. I'm a huge macaron fan as well. I spent a couple years in LA and as much as I enjoy Bottega Louie, they have nothing on Naked Lemon. The outer shell has the perfect crisp while staying light and delicate. So good. I'd skip the Portland Karen reviews and give Naked Lemon a try if you enjoy perfectly baked sweets! read more

We were in Astoria for the weekend for our wedding anniversary. As a surprise for my husband I wanted to have a small cake delivered to our hotel. Rather than purchase and travel with something from Portland, I decided to use this local bakery. I submitted my request online, had a phone conversation with Aleesha, sent her an email with photos of our groom's cake and our program so she could see the color scheme, and it was all booked and seemed great. We did discuss that the design didn't need to be the exact swirl but a representation was fine. Friday night when the cake arrived I was immediately unhappy. The colors of the cake were very pretty, but not the primary red and blue of our wedding colors. There were also flowers/rosettes all along the top and the base of the cake in white that just looked out of place with the modern, sleek design of the sides. This white frosting is supposedly a swiss meringue buttercream but it tasted like shortening to us. It was not tasty. The chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream filling was ok. The cake was moist and there was a subtle peanut butter flavor, but it wasn't flavorful enough to make us enjoy it and that swiss miss on top just ruined the flavor. We cut one small piece, didn't finish it, and called it good. The box that this small cake came in wasn't as tall as the cake so if we had wanted to travel with it home, we would have had to cut it up to make it fit in order to shut the box. For a tiered wedding cake I would expect that but not for a small cake. We left it for the hotel staff because it was a complete miss for us. A $50 miss. I did email the owner Friday night with my disappointment and just this afternoon received a response which included this: "My cakes are one of a kind and made with simple ingredients-- Including a real Swiss meringue buttercream frosting made with real butter and not shortening. These wholesome cakes may not be exactly what bakeries in Portland produce but that's exactly why they are a success here." This sounds a bit to me like I'm being told my Portland city taste buds can't appreciate their Astoria charm. I've been in the wedding and event industry for over 14 years and have had a lot of cake. I have also worked in customer service for over 20 years. My response to a customer in this situation, and I would have endeavored to deliver that response before they left town in 2 days, would have been a simple, "I am so sorry you didn't enjoy our cake. If you're still here I'd love to have you stop at our bakery for a complimentary treat so we can try to show you our baked goods are delicious. If we've missed you already or you can't make it over, I'd be happy to refund you 15% as a good faith gesture in the hope that you'll try our bakery another time." Not having tried the retail shop, I would have been inclined to do so but after the email response I received I feel like the customer service part of this business just isn't there so I'd rather give my business to someone else. Disappointing, as it was the only thing of our 3 day weekend celebration that didn't hit the mark. My advice - make sure to try their retail shop several times or make sure you get a tasting before ordering anything for a special occasion. read more

I ordered a small cake for my husband's birthday. Unfortunately our hotel didn't have our room and we had to drive to Lincoln City. Because of this, we were unable to pick it up but they give no refunds. They probably sold the cake and pocketed my $$$. read more

I visit Astoria quite often, and there's no better compliment to coffee than a sweet macaron or cookies/scones.

Got 3 flavors of macaroons, they were all very good. Owner was very friendly and gracious.

Mmmhmmm lemon buttercream frosting...ohh yeah and everything else here. Great little bakery!

I contacted Aneesha on Wednesday from NY with an urgent request to bake a cake for an old camp friend who was just placed in hospice care. I needed a cake that would remind her of her days at camp over 40 years ago and to know that her friends were all sending love. I sent Aneesha a scan of a camp logo and some heartfelt words of love for our friend. By Friday morning she had this cake whipped up and ready for her husband to pick up for her. She and her team were so dedicated to making it just right. If it tastes as good as it looks, I will be sure to visit this bakery if I do ever make it to Astoria. Thanks Aneesha and staff! read more

Passing through Astoria for the first time and was walking my dog along the pier looking for a latte. Was so thankful to find this charming little locally owned bakery and cafe.

I have been in this location multiple times and I have unfortunately never had a good experience. The last time I went in there were 3 options in the case. I picked the safest one, a vanilla cupcake with a vanilla frosting and sprinkles. Not only was it dry but it was hard like it was days old. I had my friend try it and she was a little appalled that a bakery made that. I've had better baked goods from Safeway. read more

This heavenly smelling shop features a small selection of gorgeous creations including cakes and macarons. We purchased a slice of lemon marionberry cheesecake, chocolate chip cookies and two macarons, one pumpkin spice and one birthday cake flavored. Nothing disappointed. The cheesecake was dense and creamy with bright lemon flavor and deliciously tart berries. The macarons weren't just pretty, they nailed their namesake flavors. The classic chocolate chip cookie had the perfect chewy texture and a caramelized flavor that brought it a leap above homemade. I'm so glad we stopped in. read more
