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.

The display in the front with all the figurines and product samples is the cutest thing you will see all day. Although their Kuromi Bun had a nice (not too sweet) custard filling, the bread itself was a tad too dry. We also got their Shio Butter Bread which was the better choice. We happened to get a freshly baked one which was fluffy and melt in your mouth delicious! Also, it must be said that their service is A+. Their staff are truly such kind folks - always smiling and making friendly conversation with their customers. Turns out they were testing a new dough for the Shio Bread so they even gave us one on the house to try. The kind gesture was very sweet and much appreciated!

They have several locations, so when I happened to walk past their flagship store in JP I decided to stop in and see what all the buzz was about. The store itself is quite small but when you first walk in they have a large selection of jelly and jams and olive oils for bread dipping. Then comes the bread - oh so many different flavors! I decided to get a fall-themed loaf and asked the staff member which he preferred. Ended up getting an apple cinnamon loaf based on his recommendation. They slice the loaf into snackable slices for you, which I appreciate. I thought I'd have one slice while walking home but ended up eating 30% of the loaf (oops!), it was just that good!

The tiramisu latte was well balanced with a sweet flavor but not overpowering making it a pleasant mid-day coffee. The lady finger at the top is a nice addition to the drink which can be dipped in the coffee, eaten alone, or ignored. Typically these drinks end up being super sweet but I liked how this drink managed to capture the tiramisu flavor while still staying true to a coffee based drink. The staff was friendly and while there is seating inside, it might be tough to find a spot depending on what time of day it is and the weather. Luckily this place is in a great walking area, so you can easily grab something to go. I look forward to coming back to try one of the many desserts.
