This place is so good! Easy to find on Mass Ave., the biggest pain au chocolat I have ever seen, amazing coffees (don't miss the Vietnamese iced coffee) and wonderful peach fritters, made with local peaches. Staff is both friendly and efficient. Wonderful!

Let me start by saying this cafe is wonderful and has a lot of potential. I’ve tried 80% of the items they offer and most are tasty and well thought out. Their cakes are something they should just not make. The Queen Victoria Sponge cake is dry and not spongey at all. For $7+ a slice, I am better off making it at home using my grandmother in law’s old recipe book (and I do). I tried the Devil’s Food Cake and it was too sweet. The chocolate bit is accurate but the cream they use and the chocolate ganache layer is too cutthroat sweet. Nothing at all like what one would expect in a devil’s food cake.

I recommend they expand on their pizza/flatbread options (or other savory items) and keep making their cookies and croissants.

The baked goods are great, I really like the potato croissant! It’s wonderful that there is a transparent pricing and they don’t rely on tips.

Delicious baked goods and a progressive policy to pay workers fairly by pricing its goods so that tips are not needed to compensate employees.

Best bakery and cafe around!

Such a fantastic place! Breakfast sandwich was hot, delicious. Super cool atmosphere and kind people.

Our favorite bakery in the Boston area! Every single thing We've ever had here is excellent. I've recently gotten into their savory vegetarian pastries - not a huge selection, but whatever they have is always tasty.

The best in Arlington by a long way
