Chocolates have an old fashion look and taste because the recipes themselves are old-fashioned.

Emmm's Bakery

Patriots Road East Templeton

 

The first original thing you notice about Emmm's Bakery are the 3 m's in the name, put there quite intentionally.  We have heard through the grapevine that the mmm is a sound made when biting into one of their original baking recipes.

Whether you visit Emmm's to partake of a single muffin or buy a week's worth of wonder for your pub or restaurant, the palate will be pleased.  There's an assortment of breads for any taste and special requests are welcomed.

There's no getting around this - while calories remain intact, the mouth-watering goodness is worth it.  However, there are some cookies which are sugar free.

The day starts very early at Emmm's because it seems like it is always time to make the donuts. Count on Emm's for cakes, pies, pastries and a whole lot more. visits are easy as the establishment is open 7 days a week. You need to plan on getting there before 1pm on Sundays.

Emm's Bakery is owned by Bill and Sue Fuller. Find them at 132A Patriots Road, East Templeton. You can call them at (978) 632-3030
