Customer Reviews

“Great place to purchase your Arabic Goodies: Helpful, kind people, willing to listen to comments and take constructive advice. I’ve been going back for a long time and will continue to do so.”

John M.

“Great food! I’ve been shopping here for 20 years. We love everything, even my kids beg for me to run up to George’s to get something to eat. I bring the pita to my mom and pack and ship a variety of yummies to an ex-pat friend in Florida because she misses it so much. This is also a great way to wow friends at holiday meals!”

“Middle Eastern without having to go to Watertown! Yay! I love their fresh pita, their hummus, and their abundance of groceries for when I want to cook something from scratch. Other folks have summarized it better. I’m writing this review, so I can add it to my great places in Methuen/Lawrence list.”

“I was surprised at how big George’s Bakery was when I finally got there. It looks as though that this store may have been an old supermarket back in the day, as the space is that large. (IGA? Purity Supreme?)However this family has run George’s Bakery since 1958! Long time!

It appears that most baked and ready made items are baked in house. Also a number of items carry the “George’s Bakery” name so they must also distribute out to local locations. ‘Great browsing here. All kinds of fun and foreign items to try and see.

Credit cards accepted. A cool spot altogether.”

“This is not just a Lebanese bakery, but a pretty sweet Middle Eastern market as well. Any time my family comes to visit me in CA I have them load up on zatah, sim sim, meat pies and cookies. The spinach and lamb pies are the best things on EARTH, and their makaroons are almost as good as mine (note: these are not the wimpy french coconut “macaroons,” but the Lebanese kind made with anise and walnuts).”

“You could spend hours in this Middle Eastern bakery/restaurant roaming the aisles as you drool at all of the selections. My Grandmother always has a shopping list for us everytime we visit. We always get the fresh thin Syrian Bread, Spinach Pies, Tahini, Olives, Dates and Hummus. If you enjoy Middle Eastern food this is the place to shop!”
