Rosemary's Bakery

Great bakery, everything was fresh. The Italian bread was perfect, the chocolate chip cookies, and blueberry scones were excellent. Glad to have a gem like this in the neighborhood. Thank you!

Wow, like the bakery near my brother’s home in France! Ham and cheese croissant was out of this world. Just enough filling and flaky and delicate. Sourdough bread, toasted up beautifully. Also took home some of the specialty elf cinnamon/chocolate pastries and still flaky and delicious a day later. Wonderful atmosphere and nice place to sit and have coffee with a friend.

So …. Fast forward 50 years and to my delight I discovered, through my niece, that Rosemary’s Bakery has opened in Watertown….. again. To my delight, the whipped cream and fruit cake is just as I remembered from all those years ago. Well worth the trek from New Haven to tintillate my taste buds and those of my friends who shared the cake with me today. We now have a new tradition for our March birthdays. Yummmmmmm

Thrilled to see Rosemary’s bakery offers a gluten free cake. When I mentioned I had food allergies, the staff took it seriously and even brought out the pastry chef to walk me through the ingredients during the busy holiday season. Really appreciate this level of customer service. Was told they’ll be expanding their gluten free options in 2025. Highly recommended for those concerned about food allergies.

All in all the bakery was clean, staff were helpful, and the pastries were nicely displayed.

The original Rosemary’s Bakery was before my time, but for over 20 years I’ve been hearing about how iconic this bakery was from my entire family. When we heard they were reopening, we decided to go check it out right away! We went mid-afternoon, and needless to say they were already picked over because everyone in the community is as excited as we are about their reopening. We picked from what they still had in stock and OMG, I’m in heaven! The chocolate eclair was literally one of the best I’ve ever had, and we were big fans of the strawberry turnovers and cannoli as well. Plenty of seating in the bakery to sit there and enjoy a treat, and I think their weekend hours are awesome. We can’t wait to order my mom’s birthday cake from there this year because their signature cake is beloved in my family. I’m sure we’ll be regulars!
