Vesta Bakery

Well, I don’t have to drive all the way to Mike’s Pastry in Boston anymore.
GET THE CREAM-​PUFF!!! OMG, I’m back in Oregon now but my mind was left in Vesta’s. :)

I moved to Westerly almost exactly 6 years ago and ever since I have always ordered my cakes from Vesta Bakery, at least a dozen between my family. Every time I have ordered a cake it has been amazing.
I recently ordered a cake this past weekend and brought it to a surprise party for my girlfriend, to everyone’s dissatisfaction the cake was terrible. Not knowing they were closed, I called on Monday to speak with someone and had to leave a message. In was contacted the next day by who I assume is the owner, Allison. She not only listened to my concerns, they refunded me the full amount.
Obviously this was a fluke incident as every cake prior was perfect. This is a sign of a great business and I will definitely be back.

My wife and I had been told that Vesta Bakery was terrific so we decided to call them to inquire about having them do our wedding cake. My wife informed me that we had an appointment to go in and see what they had to offer. The day of the appt we arrive to find the lights out and the door locked. We were on time so we knocked to no answer. A few minutes later we call and someone answers and subsequently comes to unlock the door. We go in and talk for a few about what we’re looking for. He shows us a few designs and things he can do as we talk about what we want. We settle on a design, size etc but were not offered a tasting. No biggie we thought, they were so highly recommended that it wasn’t a huge concern. He writes up the order sheet of what we want and we go about our day.
Fast forward a few months and my wife and I are looking at locking down all our arrangements in terms of payments, delivery times etc. We call Vesta to confirm all this and it’s obvious by the questions they’re asking that they have no idea who we are or what we ordered.
Luckily there was enough time that we simply decided to go elsewhere. Oddly enough they called us a few weeks before the wedding again asking us what kind of cake we wanted.
I’m sure they are tasty and they were friendly but it wasn’t a risk we wanted to take as far as our wedding was concerned.

I got cupcakes and mini cannolis from Vesta for my bf’s 30^th party.
It smelled SO good in there, it took all my willpower not to grab a cinnamon roll. Or three.
The frosting on the cupcakes was so airy and delicious, not too rich, and as I requested a «beachy» look to the cupcakes, there were little white chocolate seashells on each one. Cannolis were a huge hit as well! Everything was reasonably priced.
Yummy! I will be back for the cinnamon rolls, croissants, and freshly baked bread!

This is by far the best bakery I have ever eaten in, and I’ve worked in several venues myself. It really does not get any better than this. I highly recommend the chocolate filled croissant but then again, literally anything you eat in here will be out of this world.

Cannolis! I’ve been searching for a place that made cannolis. Fresh, crunchy pastry shells. I would suggest not using chocolate chips in the filling. They are good though.

Beautiful job on a delicious and gorgeous wedding cake. It was difficult to pick at the tasting because of the delicious options, but our guests were delighted with the lemon/​raspberry and chocolate/​hazelnut layers.

While the cookies and muffins we got were great, the bread was overly dense.
We are going to check it out again and hope that the bread is better. The muffins, cookies and sweets are very reasonably price (cheaper than we thought).
They are difficult to locate and you can easily walk/​drive past. They are located in a white house (you can see the commercial kitchen in the back when you walk in).

Great desserts, breads, scones. Try the Choclate bombs. love them!

My first introduction to Vesta was a few years ago when I saw one of their desserts featured in SO RI Magazine — a pear tarte they featured around Thanksgiving — we ordered one for the holiday and have been hooked ever since!
We have ordered countless birthday cakes, breads, rolls, pastries and muffins over the past few years and have always been extremely happy with their products– definitely the best bakery in the area!

Got a mini strawberry rhubarb pie from the Westerly farmers market today. really good. A little pricey for a small pie though

Finally found a great bakery in Westerly, since I moved here from the Providence area, where great bakeries are on every corner. I think Vesta makes the best pastries and fresh bread around. Love the oatmeal pecan chocolate chip cookies & the fresh whole grain walnut and cranberry bread!

Vesta make the wedding cake and the groom’s cake for my wedding this past June. Overall, I was VERY impressed by their service and the quality of their work. My cake turned out gorgeously and very delicious; my husband loved his Red Sox groom’s cake. They were very easy to work with and even let me come in for a tasting on a day they don’t normally do them as I was an out-​of-​town bride and only in town for a weekend of wedding planning. I was also impressed with their prices– my order came in far under what I had budgeted and I didn’t have to sacrifice any quality of design or taste.

My family goes to Mossup, CT for a picnic every year. and the one year we brought the chocolate bombs from here, we all the sudden were very popular at the party. great service great taste. great tradition. If you need a sweet treat then you need to InVESTA in Vesta! Shalom Pena

I’ve been here only once sadly but was VERY impressed by the service and selection of bakery items. Having been in a Lemon kick i found just what I was looking for buying one for NOW and one for Later. lol. Parking is on the street and this place is kind of hard to find since it’s w/​in the first floor of a house. If you know where Willis Bikes are you can find it next door. And i highly recommend you do stop in and sample one of their MANY different items.

My company just opened an office down the street from Vesta Bakery. Apparently I’ve been driving by them every day for the past 2 weeks and I never noticed them before this morning. I got my usual morning coffee from Bess Eaton and decided to make a quick stop here. I was immediately greeted by a nice young lady behind the counter. She kindly explained what they had to offer (I was looking for something breakfast-​y) and she suggested the apple croissant. It was only $ 1.75 which is a very acceptable price for a pretty big croissant.
While waiting I observed their cases: filled with fresh baked breads (a couple of herby focaccias, some cheddar jalapeño loaf that looks AMAZING, other delicious looking loafs). There were freshly baked muffins and scones. Everything looks incredible and I wanted to eat it all. There was also a display on the wall of wedding cakes that looks exquisite and masterful.
I got back to the office and tried my pastry. Ohhhhhhh myyyyyyyy gawd. Melt in your mouth apple cinnamony filling inside a flaky fresh croissant topped with brown sugar perfection. This was so obviously made from scratch with fresh apples. It was the perfect compliment to my morning coffee and I seriously cannot wait to come back for more. Of everything. Because everything there looks so amazing. (after I post this review I will upload pictures of the croissant)
All in all, I’d say this place is a hidden gem of Westerly and if you haven’t been, I’d HIGHLY recommend stopping in. The nice girl behind the counter said I stopped in at a good time (10AM) because there was still stuff left in the cases. I assume they sell out pretty quick because they’re so damn delicious.

alison and her troop do such a marvelous job its worth the 75 minutes to get there. Ill have me a cabinet while im there. im not joking, they (ri’ers) call milkshakes… cabinets? is this about lexicon or lexicake?
she made a triumphant 3 tiered owl cake for my little cakes, for her 1^st birthday par-​tay. the next morning the carrot cake makes for a delightful brunch option. honestly, the cakes good at 7 am/​pm too.
where was I, oh yes, cakes; vesta got the besta.

I really like bakeries, but I don’t like all bakeries. I love Vesta! It is the best bakery I have found in all of Southern RI and SE CT. You may choose from superb buttery (but not too buttery) scone, delicious fruit pastries and turnovers, awesome apple pie (with just the right amount of cinnamon), crunchy biscotti and scrumptious muffins.
Actually, I love all their pies… the strawberry rhubarb may actually be the best Pies are not always available, however, so you may want to call ahead if you are in a pie mood.
And, their breads are wonderful too! The ciabatta, walnut bread and whole wheat bread are great (I especailly like the ciabatta when used to make delicious sandwiches at the local 10 Sandwich Shop). But their seasonal pumpkin bread is, well, to die for!
More recently, they have added a herbed foccacia bread and a fabulous rosemary potato bread Enjoy!

My fiancé and I discovered this bakery about a year ago. He surprised me with the most amazing chocolate cake for my birthday. He got the Chocolate Mouse Cake for a party of about 20 people and everyone there said it was the most amazing dessert they had had in a very long time. The cake was moist, dense and delicious and the mouse filling and chocolate ganache complemented the cake perfectly.
Since then we have returned and gotten the lemon mouse cake with raspberries which was also amazing, fresh croissants, bread and muffins. Everything we have gotten has been fabulous and I would highly recommend this bakery to anyone.

It’s not in a ideal location but once you find it you’ll want to come back.
Me & my son love their blueberry muffins. I salivate at the thought of their cupcakes, cinnamon buns & cheese cake. Everything is so fresh & tasty.
They aren’t open on Mondays or Tuesdays, just for special orders. Ten Sandwiches (which is awesome) use their rolls for their sandwiches & Watch Hill Coffee Co. carries their muffins too.
