Based on the reviews, Flake Bakery specializes in fresh, authentic pasteis de nata. The pastry is perfectly flaky and buttery with a warm, creamy custard center that is not too sweet. The egg tarts have a light and flaky pastry with a balanced custard flavor and a slight cinnamon taste. They are served right off a warming plate so they are always fresh. Customers recommend adding powdered sugar or cinnamon on the side. The drinks are also highly recommended, with an iced mocha with whipped cream being better than any Dunkin’ or coffee spot in Boston. The bakery itself is clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. The customer service is fantastic and sweet, with staff seen pressing dough into the pan. The packaging would make a great gift. It is expensive, but customers are paying for an absolutely perfect pastry. It is recommended to get there early because they sell out fast. It is a simple menu, done perfectly.
