Alexandra's Bread — Restaurant in Gloucester

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...

Alexandra's Bread has some unreal bread, but make sure to get there early! It goes fast. (You can order in advance, if you don't want to take the chance that they're out of what you want!).

Every time I'm in the neighborhood I try to get some. The regular bread (cobbles, etc.) is great too, just don't miss out on those two items. The rest of the story is kitschy and cute. Lots of oil cloth and Cape...

A Gloucester Gem, family business. The best cranberry scones, with stretchy pully-elasticy glutin, no dry crumbs here. I suggest if you want to go in for a handful, order ahead the day before. That way they will make whatever amount you request and save it aside for you to pick up the next day, AND make their regular amounts for walk-in customers. That way you walk away happy, and walk-in customers walk away happy because there was still product for them to buy. An absolutely charming shop with wonderful smells as you walk in the door. The bread is made right in shop just behind...
