Alexandra's Bread: Reviews & Ratings
Most delicious scone I have ever tasted! Warm, fresh, and not overly sweet. Such a cute bakery! Would recommend to anybody!
The scones at Alexandra's are fabulous, I am a baker and are delighted by the texture and flavor, Yum! The baguettes are also fabulous, hurry here before they sell out k!
Amazing olive bread and their version of scones is the best I've had--a sweeter, lighter morning treat.
Alexandra's has the absolute best whole wheat and olive breads and the owners could not be nicer!! I try to stay away from the scones and sweets because of calories but they look yummy too!
We have been excavating our freezer up here in Canada during the Covid-19 pandemic and found, to our delight, a couple of cranberry scones. They were, as per usual, fantastic! Thank you John and Alexandra.
Love this bakery! The owners are wonderful and this is the best fresh baked bread that you will find on Cape Ann. Delicious sourdough and baguette.
Stopped in to get some cookies and bread. A small butique bakery with gifts too. Got 3 cookies and a small loaf of bread. All for 6 bucks. What a deal!
I'm giving 5 stars to the one item that is a true champion in our book - the Scone. Fantastic, light, delicious flavor with a nice complient of cranberries. We have been eating them as long as they have been open and continue to get our weekend breakfast there. The bread is terrific also. The cobble loaf never fails to provide a light interior with the proper amount of crust. During the year you can find specialty breads but John makes something different each day of the the week. Their cookies aren't too shabby either! I would be remiss if I didn't say that John and Alexandra are the best part of the bakery. Always a friendly smile and really committed to what they do. If you are in town or if you are local and have never tried them you should stop in. Don't wait too long in the day however they sometimes sell out.
Absolutely incredible bread...go early or you will be disappointed; however even the day-old is great. Even in the WINTER they bake for the holidays but you have to put in your order in advance or you'll be shut out again and even MORE disappointed! Great little shop for kitchen items including some nice vintage pieces. (If parking on street is full, take your first left after the store and another left into the parking lot.)
EDIT: I was extremely confused about some details when I first wrote the review. I've submitted a (final! really!) update to the main listing. I'd heard about the truck, but never managed to visit it. When Ned's moved in to co-occupy the space at Alexandra's Bread, I was totally blown away! They carry a stunning collection of artisan cheeses (locally produced as well as European imports), well displayed in a case to the left as you walk in. On the center table you'll find samples to try, crackers, and some really awesome looking pepperoni and salami. To the right, preserves and pasta sauce and other delicious-looking things (note: NOT a place to visit if you are already hungry). I am currently eating a small hunk of cave-aged raw milk cheddar from France, part of a fresh baugette, and honey from Gloucester bees and wow, all I can say is that I had no idea this little gem was right under my nose all this time, a stone's throw from Common Crow. They are planning on opening up in their new location on 10 April, and I can't wait.
