We also offer breakfast pastries, quiches, daily flavors of cupcakes and specialty desserts like our highly sought after Kouign Amann (pronounced “Queen Amon”). If you haven’t tried this classic french pastry, you are missing out on the scrumptious layers of buttery dough.
But be careful, you may just fall in love.

Owner and Pastry Chef, Inga McCarthy finds happiness every day thinking of new ways to use great ingredients and make them into delicious treats. With a culinary degree from the Connecticut Culinary Institute and two degrees in Portuguese and History, Inga certainly knows the technicality of baking, but it’s the details of delighting the taste buds may arguably be her best mastery. After earning her degrees, she baked in Danvers and in Boston and then changed careers to raise a family and for the past 15 years, while selling educational software, she longed to get back to her passion and open a bakery of her own.
In 2016, this dream finally became a reality when the new Cake Ann shop opened at 214 Eastern Ave in Gloucester, MA.
Now we can all enjoy a bit of happiness at Cake Ann.
Early Mornings
We start work before the sun rises each day to ensure that our baked goods are as fresh as possible. The warm smell of baking often escapes onto the street before we've even opened. We're dedicated to kickstarting your morning with warm muffins, buttery Kouign Amann, meat pies and a cup of hot Atomic Coffee roasters coffee!
From Scratch Baked Goods
We work with local suppliers to source the freshest and most authentic ingredients, and use classic techniques to ensure the highest quality. Our goal is to make your tastebuds happy!
