About
Tucked into the charming village of Petra on Lesvos's northern coast, Bake & Cake is the kind of neighbourhood bakery that makes a morning stroll feel worthwhile. The shop specialises in freshly baked goods and homemade cakes, offering a sweet counterpoint to Petra's more traditional Greek tavernas and kafeneions. Whether you are craving a buttery pastry with your morning coffee or a slice of cake to enjoy in the shade, this is a reliable stop for travellers who appreciate simple, honest baking done well.
Petra itself is one of Lesvos's most distinctive villages, dominated by the iconic rock that rises dramatically above the seafront with the church of Panagia Glykofiloussa perched at its summit. After climbing the 114 rock-hewn steps to take in the sweeping views over the Gulf of Kalloni, a visit to Bake & Cake makes for a well-earned reward. The café's welcoming atmosphere reflects the unhurried pace of village life in this part of the island, where locals and visitors mingle easily over coffee and something sweet.
For those spending time exploring the northern coast of Lesvos, Bake & Cake offers a pleasant pause between sightseeing and beach time. It is the sort of place that rewards return visits, with a selection that speaks to genuine care for quality ingredients and home-style preparation. Stop in, pick up something fresh, and take it to the waterfront promenade just a short walk away for one of the more quietly satisfying moments a visit to Petra can offer.
Before you go
What to expect
The smell of fresh pastry greets you at the door of this small bakery in Petra's village centre. Locals pick up morning treats here while travellers rest between the rock climb and the waterfront; the mood is unhurried and genuinely friendly. Grab a slice of homemade cake and carry it the short walk to the promenade.
Best time to visit
Open through the main tourist season; visit in the cooler morning hours of late spring or early autumn to enjoy it at its best.
How to get there
Petra is roughly a 45-minute drive from Mytilene heading northwest via the main road toward Kalloni and on to the northern coast. Once in Petra, the bakery is in the village centre, a short walk from the famous rock.

I entered first to ask for information willing then to buy something nice to eat. Well, one lady was starting to be very nice explaining to me one thing, while suddenly the man was acting like 'if is not going to buy, don't care about him'. So, finally I decided not to buy anything and I left. Politeness is the key.

Very good croissants. Especially the rustic breakfast. I’ve never had a croissant with eggs and cheese. The workers are also very kind. I definitely recommend this place. I wish I also tastes their homemade ice cream.

We visited at noon so not everything was still available. We had a chocolate croissant and a rustic breakfast in butter croissant. Both very tasty and fresh. The service was fast and friendly. I'd recommend this place for breakfast.
