    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!

    Chocolate croissant! - A croissant on a small white plate and a disposable coffee cup with a cardboard sleeve are on a marble table in a cafe. The cafe has wooden chairs, a yellow wall with lighting, and a doorway leading to another area with brick walls and shelves. Two men are seated at a table in the background, engaged in conversation.

    Really nice place, but you need more than one person working there at a time! It's not fair to the person working and the lines get way too long and too slow. I made a special trip to Athan's this evening but gave up and left when I saw how slow the line was going to be, despite the counterperson working very hard. No one could keep up with all of that.

    One of each of their entire stock for today. Heavenly.

    See all

    Great family run spot. Good space to sit and work, also kid friendly. Pastries and cookies are all excellent.

    Limited food options, food is good but not worth the price, workers are not very kind to my children.

    Wow this place is worth all the hype and the lines. We showed up close to 11 on a Saturday and…read morefaced a long line for the bakery and coffee shop but decided to wait. The lines fortunately moved quickly and we were out of there in 20 min! The pastries are sooooo incredible you absolutely need to try. Our favorites were the Gruyère monkey pull apart bread (similar to the Gruyère croissant but a bit bigger) and we loved it so much we literally dug every piece out from the little cardboard bowl it comes in. A close second was their weekly special the Muhaamura feta croissant which was delectable-- I had never thought of putting Muhaamura in a croissant but damn does it work! It also went so well with the Gruyère it was truly a combo made in heaven. Both are also super light and won't make you feel super heavy after! We also got some sweet options including the chocolate chunk cookie and walnut morning bun which were super solid, but out of the sweet items the olive oil cake was our favorite. It is SUPER dense but truly the perfect dessert to have with tea in the afternoon-- I will definitely think about bringing this next time I'm visiting someone's house! It's not too sweet but flavored so well. Overall this place is soooo worth the wait--- definitely check it out!

    What a great bakery to stop by in Coolidge Corner. There was constantly people popping in and out…read moreso you can tell it's a crowd favorite. 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. They have one large (more communal) table which is where we sat, as well as a handful for 2 seaters for folks to either sit alone or across from a friend. Clearly a lot of people come here to WFH, but you can't blame them. The WiFi is free and we didn't experience any disruptions, there's great lighting in addition to the natural light from their floor to ceiling glass walls, and the music is so good here. They were playing all 2010s indie, pop, and alternative hits. We all loved it. I ordered a decaf iced latte with Carmel and it was delicious! A bit on the pricey side, but it is what it is. :) My friends got a sandwich and also tried their coffee and really liked it too. We will be back!

They have standard coffee and tea, beverages, but also some fun seasonal drinks and they have non-dairy milk alternatives! All of the bakery items are gorgeous and I don't think you could go wrong with whatever you choose to try. I appreciate that for the bakery items. They also display the allergens on the little cards, which is super convenient for anyone with allergies or restrictions. The service is friendly and there is a surprising amount of seating inside, which is great to take advantage of the natural light from the big windows. There's also some seating outside when the weather is nice.
