Joyce’s Pies & Bakery

Never actually been there, but my girlfriend brought home their «Extra Moist Blueberry Coffee Cake». I’ve never had a better cake in my life. Incredibly moist, very sweet but airy with melt away crumbs of cinnamon sugar and butter. Ate half in one sitting. Great work!

Best pumpkin pie in the area (order ahead during the holidays!). I would say the cakes themselves taste average but their cake decorator, Alyson, does a great job. She will make any design you bring in and/​or work with you to create an image. Joyce’s did all of the birthday cakes for my family for several years.
Parking can be very tight, due to the bagel place next door. Try to not go to Joyce’s during peak breakfast hours.

Joyce just did our wedding cake! We thought we wanted to have a few different flavors but when we tried the Razz-​berry (its a light fluffy slightly razz flavored) we decided to have our whole wedding cake Razz flavored-​its sooo Yummy! She was Great to work with!

this bakery seems like they are only open about half time, every time I’ve gone in the bakery cases seem lacking in items and visually unappealing. The quality of products I’ve tasted seem to be sub par to market basket quality. I was disappointed that this bakery doesn’t match up with the potential it has for its location and size of facility.

Joyce is awesome! We have gotten many items in the bakery and have always been pleased. They made our wedding cake. For our first year anniversary we ordered a cake, we were delighted to see a replica of the cake she made for us a year prior. They did so with out us even asking, it was a really nice surprise.
The food and service is excellent!

I was very disappointed with Joyce’s Pies and Bakery. I came with my mom and sister after my sister’s track meet at Fitchburg State College. We’re not from the area, but it was my mom’s birthday and we wanted to get some dessert to celebrate. First of all, the woman who served us was extremely rude. When we ordered cream puffs, she asked us if we wanted her to put them in a box. We answered that we would eat them there, so we didn’t need a box. But she then told us that everybody always took their pastries to go, and that if we were going to stay she was going to have to remove the books from the one table in the bakery. Her tone clearly conveyed to us that moving the books would be a nuisance for her, so we took our cream puffs to go. And boy were those cream puffs lacking. The «cream» inside was neither whipped cream nor custard. It was some crisco-​based, thick grossness. Plus the cream puffs were soggy because the filling had been sitting in there too long. The only positive thing I can say is that they were only $ 1.25 a piece, so we didn’t waste too much money. Wouldn’t ever go back.

Had me wedding cake made there 3 years ago… delicious. Though now I wish they had Gluten Free offerings… I miss their variety and tasty pastries.

This place will satisfy your sweet tooth without breaking the wallet. I picked up mini cheesecakes, tiramisu, and cream puffs. Plus there were so many other options to choose from that I know I will be back.

This is a neat little bakery which specializes in wedding cakes and pies, located next door to The Daily Bagel Café. I stopped in here over the weekend to pick up a few small baked goods to satisfy my big sweet tooth. The place was pretty busy when I arrived here that I ended up parking along the side of the building.
Joyce’s offers pies, cakes, cookies, muffins, brownies, eclairs, cannolis, pastries, and other small sweet delights. In the cooler, heat & serve dinner pies and pot pies are available. There’s also a good looking display of several wedding cakes on the far end of the shop.
I picked up four treats for myself including a mini cannoli, mint frosted brownie, mini éclair, and a 6″ apple crunch pie, totaling $ 7.10. Each of the treats were delectable. The cannoli had a light tasting ricotta cream filling. The brownie had a nice soft dense texture with a sweet minty chocolate flavor. The éclair was small and decent with a cool vanilla filling. The apple crunch pie was fantastic after I warmed it up in my oven for about 10 minutes. This pie had good flavors with a good dense filling of sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The crust was very soft.
I would definitely return to Joyce’s for another apple pie and also try some of the other treats as well.
