Wonderful bakery. Just stopped in to try it this morning. Got a number of items to see if it will be a regular spot. Kalamata olive and garlic focaccia, chewy, airy but dense. Salted perfectly. Nice and oily. No notes. Savory cheese pastry was balanced well. Nice and buttery, cheesy, with a nice light garlic finish. Apple danish is fantastic. Flaky pastry, buttery, apple chunks with some skin but well cooked adds a great texture to the bite. Only thing I would say is it doesn't need the icing or could use less. The apples and Danish were already perfectly sweet. The icing hides the more complex and delicate flavors of the Danish itself. Pending review of further pastries and bread as we will be back.

The bread here looks amazing, and I really wanted to buy some, but I was on a mission to get croissants and scones. Both were delicious. The scones, in particular, had a lovely texture and taste. Highly recommend.

Great baked goods! Everything from loaves of bread to pastries. Only open a couple days a week and they sell out fast, so get there early! Friendly service!

It was the best croissant I’ve ever had. The prices aren’t “cheap” but the quality is through the roof.

I can only speak about the almond croissant: the best I’ve ever had. A delight to look at, and deliciousness in my mouth.

We stopped by at the soft opening of Baking by Numbers. I wanted to share a picture of the beautiful, melt in your mouth brioche we bought, but it was eaten before I could take a picture! The owners are delightful and the bread and pastries we purchased were out of this world delicious! I expect them to do very well here! I should have asked where they got their name. Double check the hours before you drop by. I'll be back, absolutely.

Stop in for a slice of Heaven. Every time I pop in I try to select Just my first and second choice promising myself to come back for my second third and fourth at another time. The trouble is deciding on that first choice. So I always leave with a beautiful assortment to share. This is always the right answer! The owner is a darling And focuses on the tiniest details of everything she presents. Not only does everything look scrumptious and artful, the taste and freshness Goes unmatched. Im heading over this week for my top five choices

Baking by Numbers is the areas premier artisan bakery. Their bread and pastries are unbelievably delicious and if you ask me, nobody else's even come close. They have a super convenient website that lets you pre-order online a couple days in advance and pick up in store. Make sure to follow them on social media to see the weekly bread specials!

Returned to Baking by numbers on November 15 2025 To pickup my herb sourdough bread shaped like a Turkey, she did an amazing job shaping it like a Turkey. I also tried the chocolate chip scones with a cappuccino drizzle. They have a wonderful taste, can't go wrong with chocolate. I also ordered herb sourdough bagels, which had a nice herb taste not overwhelming. Will definitely order them again. Today, July 12th, at the Vestal farmers market. I once again went to the Baking by numbers tent. I got the ham and cheese croissant. What a great tasting sandwich this was. The croissant was flaky with good taste. The idea of ham and cheese inside was a great idea. Another must try from this place. Today was the second time I've been to the store in Owego, NY. Today, I picked up country white sourdough loaf and a whole wheat sourdough. I should have had them slice the whole wheat one. I also picked up a butter croissant and a pain au Chocolat. Both have a great flavor. I would definitely recommend the pain au chocolat along with sourdough bagels. But I have bought plenty of baked goods at the Vestal farmers market. I've had sourdough bread, sourdough bagels, croissants, chocolate babka, scones, and plenty of other pastries. All have a great flavor. I recently tried the brioche bread, and it has great flavor toasted or not. I was even able to order from them during covid. If you get the chance by visiting them at the Vestal farmers market or the store in Owego, definitely them a try.
