Weesh Bake Shop

Weesh Bake Shop is a small Roslindale bakery making gourmet, made-from-scratch versions of the Pop-Tarts many people grew up with, which it calls Weeshtarts. Alongside the tarts, it makes custom cakes for birthdays, weddings and other celebrations, plus dessert boards, cupcakes, cake jars and seasonal treats such as pumpkin whoopie pies. The guiding idea is nostalgia with a fresh twist: desserts meant to recall childhood favorites while tasting like something new.

Weesh began in June 2021 as a small-batch custom cake workshop. After a season of regular retail hours, the business moved to a pre-order-only model, with orders placed online and picked up during set windows on Fridays and Saturdays. Owner Elyse, whose childhood nickname gave the shop its name, also runs occasional pop-ups. For events, she offers two catering formats, the Weesh Graze and the Tart Table, for adding a sweet touch to a celebration.

What to Know

• A BFF box and assorted tart flavors such as brown sugar and berry are sold online.
• Elyse’s family once called her “Suspicious Foods” because she was such a picky eater as a child.
• Pre-ordering ahead for parties is recommended.
