Holiday Bakery - New Bedford
About This Spot
Stepping into Holiday Bakery is like slipping into a gentle morning rhythm where the scent of fresh bread mingles warmly with quiet anticipation. This humble spot on Acushnet Avenue carries the comforting hustle of a neighborhood staple—steady, inviting, and alive with the simple joy of daily routines. There’s a patient pace in the air, one that encourages lingering a moment to watch the soft ballet of bakers behind the counter or to chat quietly with the familiar, friendly faces welcoming each guest.
The space hums with an honest, unpretentious energy. Early risers arrive with a purpose, often drawn by the promise of traditional sweet breads and sturdy sourdough offerings, while others find delight in more delicate treasures—tender pastries and creamy confections that feel like small celebrations in themselves. These aren’t just items on a menu; they are part of a shared story woven through the flavors and textures that mark countless visits, familiar favorites savored and new discoveries waiting patiently on each tray.
There’s a tangible connection here between the bakery and its community, marked by warm exchanges and a certain quiet care that goes into every loaf and roll. The friendly team behind the counter moves with knowledgeable ease, making space for both the early birds chasing their must-have linguica rolls and those who come later seeking a slice of something sweet and comforting. The modest parking lot and the welcoming bustle outside only add to this sense of approachable charm, grounding Holiday Bakery not just as a place to buy bread, but as a pause in the daily hum—an experience that feels both familiar and quietly special.

A short line formed as I entered the door. The bakery has a lot of selection. I picked up a dozen excellent cannoli(s). I choose fron 3 different types. They are: chocolate dipped, powder sugar, and a chocolate lined shell. The cannoli creme is rich and really great. I give them a 7.4 out of 10. The shells are a little soft to my liking. The 12 came to $26.43. Most customers were ordering papo secos (popsic/pop).

As others have said the sweet bread is absolutely delicious. On another level good! Lots of fantastic scratch made pastries as well.And a cool machine to slice your bread! Wish I lived closer!

I love the fresh homemade cheese and Portuguese pops. They had whole sweet bread and sour dough bread. Lots of pastries and other goodies. The ladies behind the counter were personable and hard working. There is a small parking lot as well.

A NB classic for many years now. We got here at 6:30am this morning. If you want the linguica rolls you better get up early too! They are not to be missed. ????????????????????????

This place was amazing. It was our first time here and they couldn’t have been more helpful. There weren’t labels on the bakery items and woman behind the counter listed off every single thing they had for us so we knew what we were ordering. I must have ordered 20 items and when it came time to pay she said it was only TWENTY DOLLARS. I actually couldn’t believe what I was hearing because anywhere else would have easily charged $50+ for what we got. Unbelievably good deal. Even better once my wife and I got home and tried everything out. Literally every single thing we got was delicious. I will be coming back again and again. Incredible.
