I am french and i find the bread to be fantastic, other items have been a real hit or miss especially with high prices. The line is super slow.

The bread and baked goods here are truly amazing and artisanal! The Miche made with locally milled wheat and rye has such a rich flavor and satisfying texture. Highly recommend! I love that they do preorders as well, which is helpful for customers and bakers alike! Feel lucky to live near here!

Moved to Arlington a year ago and stumbled upon Breadboard while walking one Sunday morning. I try not to miss going on a day I’m home and they’re open. If you want the best bread, croissants, cake slices, or any baked treat, Breadboard is the place to go. Plus, they’re the only place I’ve found in MA that has kolaches (imagine a doughnut but better) that remind me of my time in Texas. Can’t say enough good things about this place!

I decided to check out Breadboard Bakery because I was already in Arlington for Butternut Bakehouse, and the two places are within five minutes of one another.
I went ten minutes after opening, and there was already a line, but it moved relatively quickly. The menu is cutely displayed on a clothesline by the door, which is also where you order. I was bummed that we weren't allowed to go in and actually see and smell the pastries, as that is part of the fun of visiting bakeries.
I got the glazed cinnamon roll, chocolate croissant, cranberry kolache, and cream cheese kolache (which is also the order in which I'd rank them from most to least favorite). The cinnamon roll had a nice flakiness, and the glaze was addictively but not overwhelmingly sweet. The chocolate croissant was interesting because there were thin chocolate bars that lined the inside instead of melted chocolate. (Granted, the chocolate did melt when I reheated it, and it tasted better that way. Maybe that is the expectation, but the croissant loses some of its flaky goodness when reheated.) The cranberry and cream cheese kolaches also tasted better reheated, but they were just okay overall. There wasn't much of a difference between the two; the cranberry one just had a plop of cranberry jam on top. Had I known, I would have tried a fourth pastry instead of a second kolache.

Recently relocated and thrilled to discover this fantastic, authentic bakery just a block away! As a sourdough enthusiast, the olive bread here is unparalleled – moist, brimming with flavorful green olives, and boasting perfect crusts with a hint of caramel. It stands out on its own without any additional spreads or toppings. Even my partner, who isn't usually a fan of sourdough, took a huge slide. Also got croissants and other pastries, all 100/10.Our dog also received a treat, which he enjoyed so much that he held onto and finish it until we got home.
My pup, friends and I go there all the time. This used to be a hidden gem, no longer hidden. As these days there is always a que outside. The best bread in entire Boston, perfect crust and moist. Croissants are also perfectly crusty outside but soft inside. And their burnt basque? Oh boy. Aaand, my pup always gets his treatos from them. No idea why people say unfriendly in the review? They are very busy for sure.
