The Alchemist Baker

A Hidden Gem in the heart of Canton! It feels like everything is made with care and quality. The pastries are always delicious with great flavor combinations (peaches & butterscotch, or pistachio & cardamom) This month, we ordered a blueberry pie for Friendsgiving, and WOW, it was absolutely fantastic! The oat crumble topping was perfectly crisp and buttery, and the filling had that ideal mix of gooey, sweet, and fruity. Definitely a crowd pleaser for the holidays! 😃

Really amazing food! I love the pistachio cardamom cakes with a cappuccino. On my visit to Sweden a couple years ago, I really loved their bakeries' cardamom buns, but I hadn't found anything as good around Boston until I visited The Alchemist Baker! They also have really good croissants! The croissants taste like they were baked fresh in Paris which is very impressive! The bakers are all wonderful and very kind people. The chef and owner Ambreen recently covered my order as a goodbye gift since I was going to be away for a while. Aside from being a master baker, she was also a chemical engineer (reflected in the bakery's name)!

Love that this place uses simple ingredients without preservatives and artificial flavorings. If they could take it a step further and provide the nutrition facts, they would get all my praises because it’s so uncommon but should be the standard in my opinion. Tried the Peach Butterscotch Scone ($3.99), and it was delicious. Crumbly on the outside with a nice bite but very moist and soft on the inside and not too sweet. I tasted more butterscotch than peach, but I still enjoyed it. Small parking lot out back but very spacious inside, with tables and a reading nook.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Ambreen! From start to finish, she put so much time, care, and attention into making our wedding cake absolutely perfect. The cake tasting was incredible—not only was everything delicious, but she was so generous that we even got to take leftovers home! On our wedding day, the cake was everything we had imagined and more. It was absolutely stunning, so much so that it became a focal point during our reception. It captivated everyone’s eyes, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful (and delicious!) it was. Ambreen took the time to add the special touches we requested, making it even more meaningful to us. She personally delivered the cake to our venue, ensuring everything was just right before the reception began. If you’r

The BEST bakery in town! We have been going 2-3x/week for two years in the morning for scones and coffee. It’s the highlight of our week! Ambreen (the owner) has also made us beautiful cakes for our birthdays. She is a genius, her staff is amazing, and her flavors and food (and rotating lemonade flavors) are out of this world. If you’re anywhere close I can’t recommend it enough and if you’re not then have someone bring some of her scones to you!
