My wife casually went there a while back, on a whim to get a snack and had a sub-par customer service experience there where she told me that the women behind the counter were a bit brash and rude. She brought back a couple of pastries which werent all that great but I still decided to check it out... eventually. That time came a few weeks ago where I was driving by the place and hungry. I parked in one of the two spots right in front and walked in. Upon entering I found myself in a tiny store with a couple chairs and a table. In front of me was a pastry counter which was 1/3 full and only really featured a couple of brownies, some cookies and a few muffins. I almost wanted to walk out but figured that Id just get a muffin, pay and walk out. The woman never cracked a smile and barely mumbled an answer back at me after I asked how she was doing. I took my muffin, paid (cash only by the way) and drove the mile or so back home before digging in. The muffin I had was flavorless and dry. Must like what my wife had brought back from her visits when she purchased those brownies. Im not sure what theyre trying to do there but if baking sub-par, dry and flavorless baked goods is their goal, then theyre excelling! All in all, Country Desserts is a conveniently located, mediocre bakery with terrible customer service. No thanks.

The owner is extremely rude. Ive been going there for years and Ive had to put up with it because my mother likes it there but today I asked for three iced half-calf coffees and she said next time I should just order it "the normal way" and also complained about how many packets of sugar I took (it was 4 packets). To the top that off she also complained about me using my debit card, even though my order came to $11 (the card minimum is $10). All in all Im tired of her complaining about me buying things from her shop....? After all of that, she made my order wrong. (P.s I go in to her shop every day of the week that theyre open).

This place is sweet. I agree with that guy who hated it on some accounts.. limited selection, small, but a very nice, classic looking bakery where you can come in and enjoy coffee and a pasty in peace. I ordered two of the pecan twists and a coffee (3 bucks!), forget dunkins. I plan to call and ask if they can turn the pecan into a pie or cake for my girlfriends birthday. Ive driven by this place so many times and am very glad i stopped in. They could use a bigger selection, more danishes/chocolate creasants/ chewy cookies (choc chip?) but what they have is good and i liked the vibe, will definitely go back

I went to this shop based on a competitor suggestion as they could not do the cake that I wanted. It was last minute. I was a bit worried because the original meeting was not as customer service friendly that I was expecting. It ended up being the best decision ever. The baker (Im assuming the owner) warmed up and delivered like she said she would. Prices are reasonable and the cakes taste GREAT!

If you dont want to drive far for a bakery in Waltham, stop here. However, their pastries arent the best and the lady who runs the shop doesnt have the best customer service.
