    I think quality went down for cakes, not very tasty or fresh anymore, not sure about the cookies.

    I was having dinner in the area & decided to go for a stroll around the neighborhood. We stumbled upon Athan's Bakery and WOW! Pretty big space and they have lots of different desserts available to choose from. We were hoping to give their ice creams a try, however, looked like they were no longer serving ice cream at the time that we arrived... about an hour before closing? We ended up getting a slice of tiramisu & an M&M cookie. Both desserts were very enjoyable! The cookie was a good size, not too big and not small... perfect size that wasn't overwhelming. Tiramisu had lots of cocoa powder dusted on top. I liked that it wasn't dry at all but wished that it had more espresso flavor. The worker that helped us with our desserts was very kind and checking out was easy. Overall, seems like a good place to come and grab some desserts. I definitely want to come back to try more of their offerings, so will for sure stop by again whenever nearby.

    My friend and I came here for a sweet treat on a Sunday afternoon. We both picked out a piece of baklava. It was so good! Very sweet-- as expected-- but also surprisingly salty (in a good way). There's a lot of tables inside; it seems like a good cafe to bring a laptop and get work done.

    What a wonderful treat after a nice dinner here in Boston. It's a quaint European bakery with lots of delicious treats. They have everything form croissants, baklava, cookies, homemade pies, and other goodies such as candies and coffee. I opted for an almond croissant and my little one wanted a peanut butter cookie and a lollipop. On the other side is a cute quiet area to hangout and eat for snacks or even work. I loved this place! Next time I'm in the area I will be buying a whole cake!

    Came on a Thursday morning around 9am for a quick bite. I chose an almond croissant and iced chai latte, but there's a large variety of treats that I definitely want to try next time. The space is large and open, with tables of various sizes. It's a peaceful environment with music playing and there were a few people there with their laptops. I didn't look too closely but there are outlets scattered around to plug into. While the chai wasn't great, I enjoyed my croissant. I'll give them some leeway since it's a bakery, not specifically a cafe.

    This coffee shop is a fine place. The croissant was solid, the vibe was fine, and the noise level was manageable. The thing that would keep me from going back is the person who helped me get my croissant/coffee and check me out. She was happy to do her job but wasn't the friendliest person I have encountered in a coffee shop.

    Was with my husband and his family who use to visit ATHAN'S bakery when they lived in the area. They hadn't been back in years so, of course we had to get some baklava to go. We took it home to share with the rest of the family. Wow! It was sweet and flaky, I can see why they use to frequent this bakery. I wish we could have gotten more items but we were just passing through for the night. I can't wait to go back and try other delicious treats!

    There were too many choices and I didn't know what the words meant. My wife got a cake and ate the entire thing.

Our server was very welcoming and able to provide us with great insights into the menu. The cocktails were refreshing and tasty. I ordered a 'Spill the Tea' with gin and my husband ordered the matcha colada. I'd love to come back and try more out!

I loved the variety of dishes on the menu and was super impressed by the execution of all of them.

I got a medium iced pandan cold foam coffee ($6). The pandan cold foam was vibrantly green, but I unfortunately didn't really taste any pandan flavor. The cold foam mostly just tasted like cream. I also noticed that the coffee was not super strong, so I would recommend getting a large if you are looking for more caffeine. I tried the OG banh mi ($12). It had crispy and fragrant bread and a thick spread of pate. I liked how it was served a little warm which helped all of the flavors mix together better. I noticed that they source their milk bread locally from Japonaise cafe down the street-- I'd love to try some of their egg sandwiches next time.

Then let me introduce a chocolate brand that you can love . These little shops are an amazing authentic chocolate bar and store, no alcohol; just chocolate and a cafe. They serve a French style cuisine of fancy breakfast ! Wow! The food is amazing. They make coffee the way it should be done. It's a little glimmer of caffeine done way above your standards. The cappuccino was just a way that "was the way!" It replaces life back into you! Now let's explore the process of chocolate. They mass produce their chocolate but use a hand piping technique.

There's a whole section for chocolate truffles filled with interesting sounding flavors- I'll come back to this in a second. There's an island in the middle stocked with gift items and other treats and the ordering counter has pastries and sweets. Out croissant was perfect for sharing and filled nicely with Nutella. While everything looked great, the chocolate truffles didn't quite hit the mark for me. I know the gourmet truffles I'm used and these aren't it for me..... that's just me. These didn't feel as rich or substantial in flavor as I was expecting. But listen....I'll come back with my kid ASAP for a hot chocolate!

I came here with 2 friends to work from home and we had a great time! I can attest it's a solid spot to WFH.

Clearly a lot of people come here to WFH, but you can't blame them.
