The General Bakeshop

Bagels and soups were delicious. Love the way they are made.

Delicious Smoked Salmon Bagel! Their iced vanilla latte was divine w a chocolate croissant. I’d also recommend the pastrami sandwich

This place makes their own everything and uses all butter (seems sorta silly but lots of bakeries cut the butter in their baked goods for ease of making and cost). We had their breakfast sandwich and pancakes. The sandwich was on a homemade bun which was like a biscuit and a bun had a baby - soft, buttery and almost fall apart tender yet sturdy enough to maintain sandwich integrity - unique and delicious! The bacon was also thick, crispy and super tasty. The pancakes were also clearly homemade, not a mix, and were well done, soft but had some body, and very flavorful. Service was fast, professional and courteous. 10/10!

I’m local to the are and me and my boyfriend stopped in to get a little treat! And I was absolutely blown away, the staff was so friendly and kind and one of the girls complimented me and I don’t think she realizes that she made my day! We got an almond croissant, a molasses cookie and onion and poppy seed bagels with cream cheese! And I can’t forget about the absolute best Iced Chai i have ever had!! so delicious and the quality is worth the price point which isn’t even that bad! super delicious!

The menu may be small, but the flavor is big!! Breakfast is served all day, and lunch is served from 12 to 3pm. I had the breakfast sandwich, which comes with 2 cage free scrambled eggs, bakers bacon(not exactly sure what that is, but it was good,lol) and cheese on a brewster bun. The inside of the bread was perfectly toasted and buttered, and you could taste the crisp edges with each bite of the edge of the brewster bun. I ordered a side of the home fries, and I was not disappointed!!! I'm assuming rosemary and thyme. The home fries had some crisp to them but were also soft. The cook personally brought the food out along with a pitcher of water. To go, I left with a cinnamon spice doughnut and a jelly doughnut with a house made jelly. While sitting there, I saw someone order a slice of the carrot cake, I asked how it was, and they swore by it. I decided to take a slice of that home also.

The food was unbelievably good! The staff were very friendly, and it was cute inside. Highly recommend the croque monsieur pastry. It's pretty close to the train station, too.

This place is great. Coffee was very good. We enjoyed a pastrami sandwich and a chicken orzo soup. Both were excellent. The baked goods look amazing, taking a slice of key lime pie home with me :-) highly recommend this place.

Pies and banana bread are delicious!

We were visiting from LA and WE FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS PLACE. Not only was it super delicious, it was also welcoming and very clean. The people working there are amazing and always smiling. We had breakfast there twice during our stay and wanted to go a third time but unfortunately they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Highly recommend!!!!

Months after my original review was written (see below) we are now regulars. The breakfast sandwich (egg, cheese, bacon on toasted soft, fluffy buttery roll) is a special treat. The baked goods vary, but always look fantastic. Initial review: Baked to perfection! Our first, but far from last visit to this new bakery in our town. So we purchased a variety from what they had to offer: pain au chocolat, almond croissant, blueberry muffin, Boston cream donut, cheddar dill scone, huckleberry scone and for lunch :orzo salad and quinoa salad. The baked goods were absolutely perfect. Crispy golden flakey croissants. The sweets not cloying. Blueberries galore. Rich dark chocolate coating the Boston cream donut. On and on. Same with the take home salads. Just right. Yum! Next visit we're going for the breads. And I'm a home baker. Not even jealous. This is so far beyond my aspirations.

Fabulous deli with an assortment of delicious deserts! A quaint little dining area with books and other reading material to enjoy while having an afternoon tea.

Best ever breakfast sandwich! We simply crave it every weekend! Best ever tator tots! Perfect fry! Perfectly crisp on the outside! We mostly take it to go because it's always packed, but taste just as good home!! The bread... oh the bread is delicious! Cream puffs are so delicious! Iced chai latte is spot on! Don't complain about the prices. You pay for quality!! I'll eat to that!!!

My husband and I were traveling home from New England to KY just after Christmas. We had never been to New York before and knew we had to get a bagel before going home. I ordered the Salmon bagel with everything on it (onion, tomato and capers). Wow. Honestly, I almost shed a tear it was so good. We got croissants to go, and those were amazing as well. The shop is adorable, I wish we lived nearby so we could be regulars! Will definitely need to visit again!

I just tried the chicken pesto parmesan sandwich. On oct. 4th around 2:30 pm we waited about 10-15 mins. We were the only ones in the store and once I received my sandwhich I was not disappointed. I have never had this before and it easily exceeded my expectations. Great job! Worth every penny!

Everything is so delicious!! They make everything in house and you can tell. Where do you get an amazing sandwich where the bread was actually baked there that day!? The staff is so nice and friendly. Totally worth checking out!

Best baguettes in NY or CT. Dave is a master craftsman. Staff is super friendly. Chocolate pudding pie, cheese danish and banana bread are theeeeeeee best anywhere. You'll see. Trust me. 😉

This is the former Norms, all baked goods, made with Quality Ingredients, Scones are delish, Coffee is great, I give 5 stars..2026.

Best croissants, danishes, hot apple turnovers and other pastries.. try anything and everything!! Early open at 6 am; flavourfull coffee... try at your own risk because you will be coming back again and again and again..

Stopped in for an early on the road breakfast and was initially worried by the prices, but I was not disappointed! BEC on house made bun was best I've ever had and the jelly donut was amazing too! Worth the premium price tag for a premium breakfast.

Out-freakin-standing. Friendly folks, awesome food. We were visiting from out of state for a couple weeks and went back 2 or 3 times. If I had to neg I'd say that my family of 3 adults can't get out of this place without the bill creeping up on a Benny. Not because things are overpriced necessarily, but because it's hard to control our urges. Everything looks so good and everything we've gotten has been as good as it looked. I kept getting the salmon bagel. It killed me to pay nearly $20 for a bagel, but it was so good I guess the little man in my head thinks that I it's legit a $20 bagel.

I've been wanting to try this place since it first opened. The oatmeal raisin cookie was incredible! I certainly would go back for their baked goods. Their potato salad was okay. I think it could have used a bit more mustard. The chicken orzo soup was good, but a bit pricey. I'm happy to see that building finally occupied again! I hope General Bakeshop does well.

Great bake shop in Brewster. (Formally norms restaurant and bar) I enjoyed a breakfast sandwich and very hot cappuccino. I took a few cookies to go 2 chocolate chip and ginger molasses.

Very nice and clean place. We had 2 egg sandwiches and it vas very tasty although I would prefer other bread. The blueberry muffin was not the best. I think for the area the place a little pricey, but still worth to try. The stuff members were very nice!!!
