Yafa Bakery & Café is a wonderful oasis offering a stunning variety of goods. It is a multi-year “Best of Boston” winner, showcasing its reputation as a beloved Palestinian bakery. The staff are helpful, friendly, and polite, making every visit special. The café serves a range of treats, including the popular Jerusalem bagel, thyme tea, and delicious Arab sweets. The chai is particularly praised as the best ever, rich, fragrant, and perfectly spiced. Their baklava is considered pure perfection, presented beautifully and always tempting to eat.
Yafa’s commitment to the community is evident, as it is a local business that welcomes guests warmly. The shop is very comfortable, and the wonderful smells of honey and pistachios greet customers upon entry. The amazing staff, including the owner, Abdullah, provide incomparable service and are always happy to talk about pastries or olive oil. The stylishly designed packaging of their desserts also makes them perfect for gifts, although it might be hard to resist keeping them. With wonderful recommendations from the staff, Yafa Bakery is a favorite destination for those seeking the best desserts in the city, ensuring a great dining experience.
