Elmendorf Baking Supplies & Cafe

Food and coffee here is top notch. Super interesting lattes with rich flavor and light on the sweetness. Cardamom tahini? Toasted coconut? A+

So delicious the eggplant banh mi meant the world to me.

Such a cute shop! I got the pistachio latte and the pineapple basil spritzer, both were delicious. I’ll be back for baking supplies in the future too

Went on a Sunday around 10:30 AM. I love the character of this establishment; having an abundance of baking supplies and books were so cute for the anesthetic of the business! Prices of all items were relatively overpriced, but fair if highly interested in the product. I ordered the egg sandwich; loved that I was able to customize it with jalapeños, arugula, and options of bacon or sausage; was disappointed that neither my arugula or jalapeños got onto my egg sandwich, which was an additional $1 to my bill. The pistachio latte was very very good, highly recommended for one of their seasonal drinks. After 5-8 minutes of placing my order, there was a link wrapping outside of the door way, and I feel like my order was forgotten- I was waiting for approx. 25 minutes until I got my meal. The pastries were fresh and delicious! I would recommend this for breakfast, although be prepared for the wait with small walking space in their cafe!

I've been trying to shop local and fortunately discovered this baking supplies store near me. Small but a great selection of tools and supplies.

I also had a sandwich from the cafe that was great. The chocolate chip cookie however was partly raw (way too underbaked for my taste).

Honestly kinda overrated. There is never any seating and the food is just okay.

Adorable coffee shop/baking store! They have great drinks, for fall I love the pumpkin milk. Would be great if they added some gluten free options, would love to try some baked goods here too!

The best chocolate chip cookies in Cambridge

The weekends are when we get to go Out for coffee. Every time my partner and I decide where we want to go, the answer is always the same: Elmendorf! Their Barrington coffee is the best in all of East Cambridge. The store is adorable and has served us many times for gifts and kitchen supplies over the years, and the staff is extremely kind. A gem in the neighborhood. And my favorite part of the weekend. Thank you, Elmendorf!!

The breakfast sandwich was incredible! Seriously, one of the best I've had (with the bacon)

A baker's haven! So many interesting and specialty ingredients that are tough to easily find in the average grocery store. Selection of books and tools are also great. Staff was very nice about me asking for a specific type of Valrhona feves and were kind enough to go the back and package some up for me. Everything is on the pricier side but I'm glad to be supporting a local business as opposed to Amazon or a grocery store conglomerate.

yummy coffee and pastries!

Did not get the chance to spend breakfast but we enjoyed all of the baking merchandise😊

Elmendorf is one of my favorite cafes in all of the Boston-Cambridge area. The people are super kind, the baked goods are delicious (especially the breakfast sandwich), and the chai latte is smooth and cloud-like. On top of that, I love perusing the bakeware. It truly is a special place!
