After the overwhelming response to Part 1 of the Bakeries of Crete series featuring Heraklion’s finest, I knew I had to continue this delicious journey across the island. This time, we’re heading west to the enchanting region of Chania, where Venetian harbors meet mountain villages, and where every corner seems to hide a bakery worth discovering. As I’ve said before, I simply cannot resist honey-drizzled baklava, a perfectly flaky tiropita (cheese pie), or crusty village bread still warm from the oven, and I know you can’t either! 😉
Whether you’re wandering through Chania’s romantic old town, exploring the wild beauty of Sfakia, or relaxing in the coastal villages, this guide will lead you to the bakeries and zaharoplasteia (pastry shops) that have captured my heart (and taste buds) and those of countless others in western Crete. In Crete, we’re talking about both artopolia (bakeries specializing in breads and savory pies) and zaharoplasteia (the sweet shops dedicated to cakes, pastries, and desserts), because both are equally essential to the island’s incredible baking culture. From traditional family-run artopolia to innovative patisseries pushing creative boundaries, Chania’s baking scene is ready to enchant you. Let’s dive in!
1. Bakery Ntourountous Sfakia – Traditional & Bio Products
Nestled in the heart of Chora Sfakion on Epar.Od. Vrison-Sfakion, with a second location at 1866 Square in Chania town, Bakery Ntourountous has grown from a beloved local secret to one of Crete’s most celebrated bakery destinations. This family-run establishment honors the recipes of their grandmother Anna, who brought her culinary secrets from the Samaria Gorge when she married into Sfakia, passing down traditions through generations that now welcome visitors with exceptional Cretan hospitality.
Highlights: The authentic Sfakian pie stands as their signature offering, alongside handmade rusks (κριθαροκουλούρα, χαρουποκουλούρα), carob bread, and a range of sweet and savory pastries all made with 100% organic and local ingredients. Their breakfast and brunch menu has become legendary, featuring everything from traditional spinach pie and local cheese pies to fluffy omelets and both sweet and savory pancakes. Don’t miss their delicious yogurt with honey and fruit, freshly baked bread, and aromatic Greek coffee. The “Ntourountous Health & Wellbeing” line offers sugar/salt/yeast-free and gluten-friendly options, proving that dietary-conscious baking can be deeply satisfying.
The Chora Sfakion location enchants with its lovely backyard seating where guests can enjoy sea views in a warm, cozy atmosphere. Reviewers consistently praise the “genuine Cretan taste” and note feeling welcomed like family, with many receiving a complimentary shot of local raki, true Cretan hospitality at its finest. The generous portions, reasonable prices, and option to pack goods for beach picnics or gifts make this a destination bakery worth the journey.
Interesting Fact: The bakery’s philosophy comes directly from their grandmother’s village wisdom: “If you want to do something good, my child, do it with your own hands.” This dedication to handcrafted quality using “the fruits of their blessed land” brings the authentic flavor of Sfakia’s mountains into every bite.
2. Red Jane Bakery
Since opening in July 2023, Red Jane Bakery has taken Chania by storm, quickly establishing itself as a must-visit destination that bridges Parisian patisserie excellence with Cretan craftsmanship. Located at Kidonias 101 in a repurposed 1930s industrial foundry just off the main square, this bakery defies expectations from the moment you spot its graffiti-marked exterior that resembles a Berlin nightclub more than a traditional Greek bakery.
Highlights: The almond croissant has achieved near-legendary status, with visitors consistently declaring it superior to anything they’ve tasted in Paris. Other showstoppers include the pistachio-cardamom buns, hazelnut praline Danish, kouign-amann, seasonal tarts, and flan pâtissier, all crafted with meticulous French technique. The savory selection impresses equally, featuring gourmet sandwiches like shrimp or roast chicken on house-made sourdough bread (made with organic local flour from Mills of Crete), creative breakfast rolls, and elevated koulouri (Greek bagel) with inventive fillings. Coffee lovers will find what many call Chania’s best coffee here, with oat milk options available.
Step inside to discover a strikingly minimalist interior designed by renowned London-based designer Michael Anastassiades. The collaboration between bakers from London’s E5 Bakehouse and pastry chefs from Cannelait, Paros, results in creative pairings like mahleb- and mastic-infused tsoureki that honor Cretan ingredients while pushing boundaries.
Interesting Fact: Red Jane intentionally has no signage, embracing a “speakeasy” concept that rewards discovery-minded visitors. The name playfully references a photo of Jane Fonda, adding modern edginess to Chania’s patisserie scene. Be warned: the most popular pastries often sell out by midday, so early visits are essential!
3. Sketi Glyka
Tucked away on Eisodion 9 in the narrow, picturesque alleyways of Koum Kapi, just steps from Chania’s Venetian Port, Sketi Glyka has been enchanting dessert lovers since 2013. Founded by siblings Konstantinos and Irene Danas, both classically trained pastry chefs, with a cozy and quirky interior designed by their mother, this family venture embodies its name perfectly: “pure sweetness” in Greek.

Highlights: Sketi Glyka masterfully bridges traditional Cretan flavors with modern pastry techniques, creating desserts regularly described as “beautiful masterpieces.” Their innovative creations include the signature “Cretan Herbs” cake flavored with local mountain herbs and passionfruit, the ‘Cube’ (Valrhona chocolate and tonka bean mousse), modern éclairs, banana waffle mousse, and purple sablé with fig. Greek classics get creative updates, from their twisted take on baklava to a refined galaktoboureko. The handmade gelato draws particular raves, with smooth textures and authentic flavors like pistachio, hazelnut, and gianduja that many consider the best in Chania.

4. Bougatsa Iordanis
Standing at Apokoronou 24 since 1924, Bougatsa Iordanis holds the title of Chania’s oldest bougatsa shop and operates as a living culinary institution. Now run by the fourth generation of the Iordanis family, this legendary bakery sits just 80 meters from Bougatsa Chania (Apokoronou 37), making it easy for bougatsa enthusiasts to compare these two icons back-to-back. The simple, laid-back bakery offers both indoor seating and al fresco tables where you can soak in the lively urban atmosphere of central Chania.
Highlights: Bougatsa Iordanis perfects two classic varieties: the traditional savory bougatsa with Cretan myzithra cheese and a sweet custard (cream) bougatsa. Both feature impossibly crisp, ultra-thin phyllo made fresh daily using a secret family recipe unchanged for a century. The savory version delivers a slightly tangy, creamy filling that locals consider the essential Chania breakfast, while the sweet custard option offers honeyed indulgence. The phyllo arrives perfectly crisp, never soggy, shattering at first bite to reveal filling that melts in your mouth. Pair it with their robust Greek coffee for the complete traditional experience.
Many food writers and locals declare it “the best bougatsa in Greece,” praising the perfect balance between creamy filling and crispy pastry. Regulars often receive personal greetings by name, creating a sense of belonging that turns first-time visitors into devoted fans.
Interesting Fact: Founder Kyriakos Iordanis arrived in Chania from Ortakoy (near Nicomedia) in Asia Minor during the population exchange of the early 1920s, establishing the shop in 1924 after acquiring it from a departing Cretan Muslim. The recipe remains a closely guarded family secret, passed only to family members. Visiting early in the morning lets you taste bougatsa straight from the oven, exactly as Chania residents have done for a century.
5. Bougatsa Chania (Apokoronou 37)
Less than 100 meters from Bougatsa Iordanis, this family-owned specialty bakery at Apokoronou 37 has quietly built its own devoted following by perfecting a single offering: handmade Cretan bougatsa with myzithra cheese. The minimalistic café with its classic “local hangout” vibe attracts early morning regulars who return for their daily fix.
Highlights: The outrageously thin, crisp phyllo wraps around creamy, tangy myzithra cheese, served hot in cubes with optional cinnamon and sugar (though locals prefer it plain). The phyllo’s exceptional thinness has earned recognition as the “lightest, crispiest in Chania.” Many visitors conduct their own taste test between this shop and Iordanis, with cheese lovers frequently declaring this less-famous spot the winner. Paired with traditional Greek coffee, the direct service and excellent value make it a must for cheese pie enthusiasts.
