    Finally a place with Italian soda! We got some cookie and drinks (pomegranate espresso tonic and pomegranate Italian soda) There was a bit of wait with line but they moved quickly. The decor was cool and cozy. The cookie was crunchy and tasty. Italian soda was great but espresso tonic was.. not bad. Maybe because I haven't had it for awhile? I will be back for more next time.

    I really enjoyed this space- you can see the workers in the back and it's very cozy! We came at a busy time but the workers seemed to be handling the rush well. The cookies were delicious, though I thought the actual food items were a little bland. They have a wide menu, and would love to see just a little more flavor/seasoning!

    I stopped by Hearth & Hug Bakery after finding out my regular spot was closed and I'm so glad that I did! The pastries are baked daily at 6am and they were still warm! I got an assortment of different pastries and they were all amazing. The ham and cheese croissant was my favorite! The service was great too! The person who worked there took time to answer all of our questions! I would 1000% go back!

    We came in less than an hour before they closed but there were still fresh treats to choose from. We got an assortment of cookies to try. They were well baked and we appreciated the more unusual flavors. Our faves so far are the coconut miso (crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy in the middle) and the cookie with cornflakes marshmallows and chocolate chips. The oatmeal pecan is also excellent.

    Went to the new Somerville location. Long line and busy, which is great the business is doing well. But because of such line, there were limited options, which is to be expected. The croissants and coffee were good / average to other local shops. Hope to try some other items on the menu in the future to find something that makes the shop more unique.

    Wow!! This bakery was such a surprise! I have tried so many bakeries and croissants but the croissant here is probably the best croissant I've had in Boston. It tasted like one I eat in Europe, flaky and buttery! The way it should be!! I tried the guava and cheese croissant and the blackberry and lemon bun! Such a unique flavour and the fruit flavour was so good!!! Will be back!!!

    A solid bakery/cafe in the Davis square area. Prices are comparable to other stand out bakery/cafes in the Boston area. There is not a ton of seating inside and parking is limited to permitted street parking. Luckily it is very accessible via bike path, minutes away from the Davis sq T stop, and a bus top for the 88 and 90 buses right outside.

    There's another new bakery in town! Hearth and Hug opened Sep 2023 and occupies a stall toward the rear of Boston Public Market. Everything looked tempting and I ordered the ham and cheese croissant, which was huge and covered with an everything bagel spice mix (salt, poppy seeds, garlic). The outer crust golden brown and crispy, and the interior had that flaky butteriness that all croissant lovers crave. The ham was thinly sliced, the cheese had a moderately robust Gruyère like flavor. My only complaint was that the everything but the bagel seasoning overpowered the subtle croissant flavors--I'd recommend to the baker to offer an option without those spices. I look forward to ripping into their chocolate croissant next time!

    I was excited to see they had pumpkin chocolate chip cookies but totally overbaked so it was hard not soft cookie, pretty disappointing.

    The Pomegranate Molasses Cookie from Hearth & Hug is amazing -- an inspired twist on a classic cookie flavor.

The spot is known for their Persian spin on great classics, and many of the typical French offerings. I got to try their pistachio croissant and a black sesame latte. Both were very good. The croissant was excellent; dough was perfect, not overly sweet. Tons of pistachio on the inside. It's topped with a hefty amount of what tastes a bit like cream cheese (but it's probably something else, that's just what it reminds me of). Highly recommend trying it. The black sesame latte came recommended by the staff member. Also very good, nice unique flavor and made with in house syrup! I will say though, it was a little bit gritty as you got to the end of the latte. Theres also an area to sit outside and inside. All in all, an amazing spot that I'd love to visit again!

We fell in love with the pastries--each one with a unique Persian spin on flavor. My favorites are still the Kouign-Amann, Pain Aux Raisin, and the Feta-Za'atar and Orange Marzipan Scones. But the true jewel of La Saison is the Kuku Sabzi on Sea Salt Focaccia. It is unbelievably good. What makes La Saison even more special are the owners, Sarah and Soheil. Their warmth, creativity, and genuine care for their customers shine through in everything they do. You can feel their heart in every pastry and bread and every interaction. La Saison has become one of those rare places that feels both special and comforting, and we're grateful it's part of the neighborhood.

Nowhere to sit, so another challenge. Good selection of croissants and croissant-adjacent items like caneles and pain swisse. Friendly staff; no pretension. My first visit in well over a year on a late weekday morning tried a troika of chocolate-themed items. -- Chocolate Croissant: Not warm (and I wouldn't expect that past 9am), but very fresh feel, very slight greasiness on the bottom, plenty of flakiness on top, and decent fluffiness inside. A good bite, yielding plenty of croissant shrapnel, a light but pleasant buttery taste, and just the right amount of chocolate. A winner. -- Pain Swisse: This varied from others I've had, not having the typical stringiness around the perimeter that feels like raw pasta to the bite, but that was a plus. The bigger noticeable divergence was a much-lighter-than-typical custard presence inside, deferring to the dominant, high quality dark chocolate. The dough around it had good flavor and a nice light crunch, so whether central casting Pain Swisse or not, this satisfied. -- Chocolate Chip Cookie: An unusual rendition, with a dough darker than typical and also boasting some red tint hinting at red velvet. Soft, deliciously rich, and buttery, with the chocolate having a nice melt to it even late in the morning. Salt added some contrast without going overboard as some do. -- Coffee: High in temperature, acidity, viscosity, and flavor. A good match for their baked goods. Overall, still living up to the promise of the first visit, and taking some license with the classic recipes is fine by me with their high level of execution.

The staff here are always so friendly and efficient. While their cannolis are rather expensive ($7-$10 for one) it does make your day 1000% better when you get one of their sweet treats.

Here's a secret: Mike's is open early too, and if you're in for a classic espresso drink you can get one there along with a little (ok, large) sweet treat to start your day. There's not much by way of seating at this location so it's more for pickup, but there is a bar at the front of the store where you can sit for a few minutes to enjoy a treat. My husband and I got a latte and a cappuccino, and a pistachio cannoli to split. Both drinks were perfect, hot but not scalded, with robust espresso flavor. The cannoli, as expected, was fantastic. Yes, it's big. Yes, the toppings are only on the ends (but you can eat it strategically to make the toppings last through most of the experience). Maybe I have too much of a sweet tooth but unlike a lot of reviewers I did not find it to be TOO sweet, just the right amount paired with a bitter coffee beverage and split between two people. I've never had a cannoli for breakfast before, but darn if it wasn't a highlight of the trip.

The pastry counter was filled with fresh baked goods and they even had samples out. This is strictly a pick-up and go, it's not setup like a cafe with tables. I bought the banana cream for a work event and a few minis to take home for me and my hubby. The banana cream was good-admittedly, it was more on the sweeter side than I expected. I really enjoyed the crust - it wasn't too buttery and cooked perfectly. It was def a hit. My hubby and I enjoyed sampling the blueberry, apple, and cherry crumble. Of the three, the apple was my favorite which actually surprised me. The blueberry was OK, not as sweet as I would have liked - opposite of the banana cream. And the cherry was perfectly tart-I really appreciated the crumble. All in all, I will def be back. Can't wait to follow their social media to see what the monthly specials are. Street parking is tough, I rec parking in star market if you're quick. You can also order ahead for a quicker pickup and they deliver within a 6-mile radius as long as you place the order by noon the day before.
