“I share little pieces of everyday life around Boston in my vlogs, and PRB Boulangerie is one of the neighborhood bakeries I keep coming back to. We live near Kendall Square, so it’s an easy stop when I’m out for a walk or craving a pastry and coffee. Even with more cafés and bakeries opening nearby, this place always seems to have a steady buzz. The breads and pastries have that lovely French bakery feel—beautifully made, with a little extra care in the details. There’s plenty to browse, from croissants and pain au chocolat to breads, small desserts, and savory sandwiches. The display alone makes choosing difficult! Everything looks elegant enough that I’d happily pick up a few treats to bring to a friend. I’ve enjoyed the coffee, too, and the atmosphere is a big part of why I return. The space feels roomy, with indoor seating and an outdoor option when the weather is nice. It’s a lovely place to sit with a pastry and take a little break. It can get busy, but the staff have been friendly on my visits. One detail I especially like is being able to see the baking area. Sometimes when I’m passing by, I catch a glimpse of the team making the bread and pastries. Seeing that work happening right there makes the place feel more personal. It is on the pricier side, and I do wish it were a little more affordable for frequent visits. Still, I’ve been happy with my experiences here, and it remains one of my regular stops for French pastries and coffee in Cambridge. I haven’t tried the macarons yet, but they’re on my list for a future visit!”
