Alexandra's Bread: Discover Gloucester's Hidden Gem for Scones and Artisan Breads

They are a wonderful couple making sour dough bread by hand. They slow raise their dough like the old fashion way and let it ferment slowly. It’s so delicious they run out quickly So put your order in a few days ahead

I love to come to Alexandra‘s bread. I come early to get them nice and warm fresh out of the oven. Of course they’re baking all morning, so really it’s just timing. I love to get my grandchildren cookies. It’s a family routine now and when my grandchildren are with mom and dad. I send them in the mail For all to enjoy. I especially like the oatmeal raisin cookies just like My mother used to make when I was a kid. Very nice people and also they have nice things to buy gifts and some used items which are wonderful. I got a beautiful rug that will look beautiful gorgeous in my granddaughters room. They have more than just spread. The scones have made many of my ladies very happy for I am a CNA. So wonderful with tea and crumpets for a morning ritual. Thank you, Alexander’s bread happy to support a small business. also, when you walk in there, the smells are incredible. A fresh baked goods made with love. It’s right across from animal crackers on Main Street right after the liquor store.

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.

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!

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.

Bread can run out late in the day but it’s always amazing

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!
