This Alstead area bakery was named the ‘absolute best’ in New Hampshire. How to visit

An Alstead bakery was named the best in New Hampshire.

The Takeout, a food website, made a list of the “absolute best” bakery in each state, looking to find the places that stand out from the pack.

“Some of the best bakeries are well-known establishments that have been around for decades, and even boast more than one location, while others are small — often deliberately so — spots that remain somewhat under the radar,” the Takeout said.

The food website said that the Orchard Hill Breadworks is the best place to get your baked goods, whether it’s bread, pastries, or cookies.

The Takeout said they chose Orchard Hill Breadworks because of its longevity and their delicious baked treats that still capture the hearts of local residents.

“The bread and pastries — such as the Danish creamsicle with marinated sheep’s feta and candied orange peel – are both inventive and top-notch,” the Takeout said. “Other standouts include the coconut cream Danish and the potato chive pull-apart puff pastry.”

The Orchard Hill Breadworks website said they also serve cookies, making and selling flavors like double dark chocolate, ginger molasses, and lemon cornmeal shortbread.

“We believe that good food and healthy, happy communities go hand in hand,” the bakery website said. “Bread was first baked for sale at Orchard Hill in 1997, but the story of this place begins long before that.”

You can find Orchard Hill Breadworks in 121 Old Settlers Road in Alstead, New Hampshire.
