The best bakeries & sweet shops in St. Johnsbury

“Bragg Farm Sugar House & Gift has made maple syrup the traditional way for eight generations, using buckets and a wood-fired evaporator, and it even has a Maple Ice Cream Parlor. Pop in for free sugarhouse tours, a tasting table, and a gift shop packed with Vermont cheeses, crafts, and sweet pantry finds.”

“Boule Bakery keeps it slow and serious in the best way, turning out 100% naturally leavened sourdough loaves, sourdough croissants and rotating croissant-danish that vanish fast. Pair it with espresso or Ethiopian pour-over from West Burke's Roasted, then snag a breakfast sandwich on a house-made English muffin.”

“The Cottage Cakerie turns family dessert stress into easy wins with 100% gluten-free cakes that skip seed oils and artificial dyes, often tinted with real fruit infusions. Scratch-made with quality, often local ingredients, plus craveable salted caramels, it’s a sweet Barre-area go-to when everyone needs a slice.”

“Maria's Bagels turns out rotating flavors like sea salt, French onion, everything, and Cabot spicy pepper jack. What started in 2014 kitchen experiments became a Vermont-made bagel spot, so when the craving hits, watch the daily schedule and snag your favorites before they vanish.”
