Every time I ask for my sandwich to be warmed up, it comes back completely cold, not even the bread is warm. Make sure it’s actually heated if you’re getting take out before leaving the store… super outrageous

This morning I got a Chocolate Bread and, honestly, compares to the ones I had in France. Amazing, I’ll definitely go back before leaving Boston. If you want a satisfying and easy breakfast this is your place. Highly suggested.

I was looking forward to coming here for a long time and I’ve heard good things about their croissants. On the day we went, we were waiting in line for a long time, and the server somehow chose to help the person behind us first. It was like they didn’t even see us. The person behind us got the last chocolate croissant, and the server didn’t apologize. At least the flan was good though

Ambience is great and you feel France in the bakery goods! Cute Boston Terrier logo. But they have amazing food that is very light and not salty and fluffy and has wonderful buttery flavors. The ambience is very cute and they allow dogs that are not just service dogs. The community and area is beautiful and the neighborhood is friendly and the homes in this area of South Boston are so amazing with their old historical charm.

I experienced straight-up microaggression at this bakery. The older white woman with glasses completely ignored me when I walked in, no greeting, no acknowledgment. Then my white husband came in right after me, and she suddenly smiled and said Hello and welcomed him loudly.
There were plenty of Asian customers in the store, and the difference in how she treated us was obvious. She needs to learn how to treat every customer equally.

I stopped in the get a lemon loaf today. Firstly I want to start with the two women working. Both were absolutely as sweet as can be when the extra mile to make sure I left with a bag of tasty treats. From recommendations and suggestions I got the perfect order. Lemon pound cake. Blueberry tart. Strawberry short cake. All were fantastic!

Ordered a cortado and was served 12 ounces of hot milk with vague coffee flavor. The pastries look good but I would not go here for the coffee unless you are desperate.

This café and bakery saves you having to make a trip to Paris to enjoy the wonderful breads, pastries, and sandwiches they offer The almond croissants are only available on the weekends and are considered one of the best in Boston area

So cute, affordable, and the people are so nice! Great place to do work and enjoy the sunlight.
While not a lot of options for lunch....what we bought was very good. Turkey sandwich was delicious as was the chicken curry on cabata. The coffee and baked goods looked great - almost too good to eat.

Went to the Medford (original?) location first since people said there was better. Happy to report that while the selection is smaller here, the quality is just as good. More convenient location so happy to have confirmed this.
Stand outs are the chocolate croissant (pain Au chocolat, what they call the cho-Colette, NOT the pain Au Swiss which I didn’t like when I tried it from Medford), and the chocolate eclair. For the croissant, pop it in an air fryer for like 30s at 400F to reheat. Seems unnecessary, but trust me on this one. The result is incredible. I forgot to take pictures, but watch it so it doesn’t burn. lol. The chocolate eclair has really tasty filling, maybe has a dash of espresso powder or something and maybe hazelnut? It wasn’t overly sugary or heavy creamy. Ate it too quickly and the picture of the half eaten one was too ugly to post. The other things I wouldn’t go out of my way for. Notes below:
Strawberry fraisier: meh. Cake layer is too sweet. Mousse layer is a bit heavy, and overall balance is a bit off. Friend said it reminded her of ice cream. It’s really small, so beware if it’s for sharing. Took a picture of it next to a box of Kleenex for scale.
Macarons: varied in size? Texture was good, taste was okay ish. Chocolate was the best of the three. Lemon- quite lemony. Chocolate- a bit light and nutty. Matcha- light matcha taste, sweeter than the others. Also included a pic of the inside, some shells were slightly hollow.

Blown away by how delicious everything was. My family and I stopped on the way home to New York from Cape Cod at the recommendation of my brother and sister-in-law. You did not disappoint. The croissants were top-tier and I will be dreaming about the peanut butter cookie.

A visit to Boston feels incomplete without stopping at Collette Bakery on Columbus Avenue. Every time we come, it is an experience to remember. Starting the day here with their fresh croissants and apple turnover is simply delightful, everything is baked to perfection and full of flavor. The quality and taste make us wish we had something similar back home in Dubai. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and one of the best ways to begin the morning in Boston. Highly recommended!
