Alexandra's Bread

Most delicious cranberry scone I have ever had! Warm, moist, and not too sweet. So glad I stopped in here for breakfast. Definitely will be coming back as soon as possible! Also fantastic baguette. Strongly recommend Alexandra's Bread to anyone!

Alexandra’s Bread makes the best whole wheat bread I have ever tasted, and I have done my share of sampling all over New England and beyond. The owners are warm, lovely, friendly people who run a high quality bakery. Although I am particularly partial to their whole wheat bread, all of their products (scones, cookies, olive bread, brownies, etc. etc.) are excellent and sold at a very reasonable price.

Bakeries are a weakness of mine. You could smell the wonderful aroma of freshly baked bread as you approached the store. We got there at 9 am and many of my favorites were almost sold out! Cranberry scones to die for, wonderful baguettes and crusty little cobbles. Heads up! The store front looks like a gift shop so you might walk right by. Just follow your nose.

Alexandra and Jon are more than owners and bakers of Alexandra's bread. Theirs is a way of being, a culture of feast. The bread, scones, and cookies are wonderful. My favorite is the whole wheat bread. Call ahead and reserve your loaf. Alexandra and Jon have created something that is rarely found anywhere in the United States. Their bakery is common in Europe, but a rare gem here. The baked goods are more than tasty. They are made with passion, love, and mindful simplicity. The other day I saw Jon making something and he held the baking bowl like a mother holds a baby next to his body. I taste that passion and love every time with 100% consistency.

Everything is delicious! My favorites are the cranberry scones and garlic bread but everything they make is wonderful! It is a pleasure to see Alexander and John, too. We are lucky to have them on Cape Ann!
