Okay, let's be real for a second. We all have that sweet tooth, right? And sometimes, you just need a little something extra to make life a little sweeter. Well, guess what? Medford has got your back. This town is practically overflowing with deliciousness – from a classic chocolate shop to trendy bakeries, there's something around every corner to satisfy every craving no matter which Medford shopping district you're in, and we're not even covering the ice cream in this one! (soon!)

We asked you guys what your favorites were, and you responded in droves! Here are Medford's go to spots for their sugar fixes, and trust me, you're gonna want to check these places out if you haven't already.

Jenni's Goodies: Where Sweet Dreams Come True (and Cookies Are Art)

This bakery is serving up delicious baked goods that are almost too pretty to eat (almost!). Jenni makes custom cakes that are works of art, perfect for birthdays, weddings, or just because you deserve it. And her cookies? Don't even get me started. They're the kind of cookies you want to share with your friends (but secretly, you might want to keep them all for yourself). We've all tried those cookies that look delicious but taste like cardboard, and trust me this is not the case with Jenni's Goodies!

Jenni's Goodies opened on Main Street in 2024, but you may have tried her baked goods at the Dickes Festival prior to that, as she'd been a vendor there for years before choosing hershop on South Main Street, right next to Lower Forge Brewery, as her brick & mortar home! So now you can grab a pint and a perfectly decorated cookie – talk about a winning combo! They even offer classes so you can learn how to decorate your own sugar cookies, super fun!

Reily's Candy: A Medford Classic That Takes You Back in Time

This place is pure nostalgia, guys. The moment you walk in, that intoxicating smell of chocolate hits you like a warm hug from your childhood. They've got all the classics – chocolate bunnies (both vintage and modern!), mixed chocolates with every flavor imaginable, and their signature chocolate-covered blueberries are seriously addictive. Visiting someone? Grab a box of chocolates, or a tray of Reily's famous chocolate covered pretzels. Me? I'll take the caramels or the buttercreams - or keep it classic with the nonpareils!

Reily's is a true Medford institution, and it's amazing to see how they've stayed true to their roots while still keeping things fresh for the last 60+ years. We love that they partner with the local business associations like the Main Street Merchants, and others, and partner with local farmers for their chocolate covered blueberries! Everyone should take a page from Reily's book, because they're definitely doing it right. This isn't the first time we've gushed about Reily's, check out the last article where we dove deep into Reily's 60 year history here.

Honorable Mentions:

  • O Sweet Savannah’s: This spot is serving up ice cream, milkshakes, donuts, and more. They're all about that sweet life, and their menu proves it! They also have some of the kindest hearted people working there we've seen, giving opportunities to everyone & we love to see that. We'd support that initiative alone every day if we could afford the daily calories!

  • PB Blossoms Cookies: These cookies are next-level delicious – think decadent iced M&M, gummy bear, and Oreo brownies. They also have a killer selection of cookies and sticky buns. They're a MUST try! They've got coffee to pair with it too! 🀀
