Bettina’s Bakery Scratch Baking at its Best Located in a former hotel in the Upper Falls historic section, there’s nothing cookie-cutter about Bettina’s Bakery. Owned and operated by two professional pastry chefs (Bettina is from Germany and Naun is from Honduras), this one-of-a-kind eatery seamlessly blends together multicultural flavors with American tastes. Here you’ll find diners sitting down for breakfast and lunch, enjoying conchas, cubanos, horchata, streuselkuchen, and schnitzel along with their turkey sandwiches and salads. And don’t overlook their seasonal pies, muffins, scones, and custom cakes which are some of the best in the city. During the Crawl Bettina’s has smaller-sized apple, blueberry and pumpkin pies, and free pie samples. Crawlers also get $3 off any bakery purchase over $15. Regular hours are Mon-Fri: 7:30-3; Sat: 8-3. Closed Sundays.

Blacker’s Bakeshop is ready to show off its recent glow up during this year’s Bakery Crawl. This nut-free, dairy-free, and kosher pareve bakery is a local favorite for those with or without special diets. And during the High Holidays, well, it just may be the busiest bakery in the city. Known for traditional items that recall childhood memories like hostess-style cupcakes, half moons, rugelach, and custom cakes, Blackers’ bakers are always testing and adding new items to their menu, like their popular cookie cups and savory pizza buns. Stop at Blackers on Friday, September 26th for one of their value-priced cookie sampler bags. You just may want to make it your first stop on the Crawl, because their cookie bags always sell out early and Blacker is closed on Saturdays. Tues-Thurs: 8:30-5; Fri: 8:30-4; Sun: 10-2. Closed Mon & Sat.

White Lion Baking Company in Waban has opened our eyes to just how tasty and satisfying gluten-free and grain-free baked goods can be. This scratch-made bakery is a destination for those with special diets (Celiac Disease, Food Allergies, Paleo, Keto, Dairy-free and Vegan), while its baked goods made from wholesome, minimally processed, and organic ingredients, are a hit with even the most discriminating bakery-goers. Waban is White Lion’s second location—their other bakery is in Mashpee. Owner Liz Miles, a former pastry chef at Upstairs at the Pudding and Lumiere, is eager for the community to taste White Lion’s menu, and is offering free samples of apple cider donuts to “crawlers,” on both Friday and Saturday. 10% of the bakery’s proceeds during the Crawl will be donated to the Newton Food Pantry.
