I saw the news about Komugi and it's been a bakery I've been meaning to try and it didn't disappoint! When you first enter, the space is very clean and you're greeted by the owner. It's a very small space and there's no tables or seating inside. The pastries that they sell are displayed near the register as well. Food: these are Japanese style breads and pastries so the bread is soft and the pastries are not too sweet. I bought a couple items and they were all very good. I also got a latte and it was a strong coffee. Personally, I like the chocolate emoji bread. The bread was very soft and fluffy and the filling had the right amount of sweetness. Location: there's no metered parking outside the bakery and if you're quick, the residential parking might be an option where you can double park quickly. Union station is very convenient and only a couple minutes away. read more

I have heard great things about this place and I wanted to check it out. I got the azuki anpan which is filled with red bean paste. It was very good and mildly sweet. The staff were really friendly. The cafe is mainly grab and go. I didn't see any tables or seats. I would definitely come back to check out the matcha and the salt and butter rolls. read more

I went on a morning run and stopped by Komugi to check out some of the breads and pastries. Immediately I was greeted by the sweetest woman at the cashier and she explained what was in each of the buns I inquired about. Unfortunately, when I got there the curry pan was out and I had to come back in 40mins for the next batch. It was totally worth the wait though and I also got a matcha sunrise (essential a matcha melon pan). Both were soooo delicious and fluffy and not too sweet. Against my better judgement I inhaled both of them when I got home. Something about that Hokkaido flour made them super light and I didn't feel bloated or groggy even after eating both read more

The only mistake I made when visiting was eating beforehand. I walked in for a delicious vanilla latte, but was tempted by the milk bread pastries like French toast and other goodies. We sampled a few and vowed to come back. read more

Exciting new bakery in Somerville that's a definite must try! I recently went to Komugi after hearing great reviews and it did not disappoint.There are so many delicious pastry options and I had a hard time picking which ones I wanted to try first. I got the curry pan, which was delicious and flavorful, and the matcha sunrise, which was light and crispy. You can also order from several different coffee options. The latte I ordered was perfect. Everyone is so nice and friendly in the store. It's a small space with no seating so be prepared to take your items to go. Even with no seating this place has such a bright and cheery vibe. Can't wait to visit again! read more

My friend got me treats from here for my birthday and it was my first time trying them. I love custard buns and I love matcha. I liked both of them, I warmed them up at home to eat. The matcha sunrise is more like roll with the matcha sugar on top and the consistency of that topping makes it balanced since there's nothing in the middle. I will be visiting them myself soon! read more

Komugi - Custard bun and Matcha sunrise - Bakeries Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Super excited to try Komugi and they didn't disappoint. The bread is soft, pillowy and everything you'd want in Japanese bread. They're continuously baking so there's always fresh items coming out and they have a good mix of classic and unique items that we don't see in Boston yet. The space is small and is best for take out. I came in a bit later (11:30am) and they were sold out of their donuts, cinnamon roll and filled buns so come early for a larger selection. The line moved on the slower side but they opened quite recently and are super busy so this wasn't too surprising. I waited about 20 minutes. The matcha sunrise was fantastic and I keep telling people about it because you can really taste the matcha. I also tried the everything salt and butter roll as I am so excited to see salt bread here in Boston. Good, buttery flavor that isn't too salty. I will definitely come back to try more, it's worth it! read more

Came in around 9 on Sat hoping to beat the crowd and get a full selection and I was right! They are located right on a corner of a 5way intersection so it was hard to park in front of the store. My bf dropped me off and I went in to grab the goods. The bakery smelled amazing with fresh baked goods and they had a sample of everything salt butter roll at the counter. It was amazing!! I ended up getting a red bean salt butter roll and curry pan. I was warned that the curry pan is fresh out of the oven so very hot. Both were delicious and I will definitely come back for more bread! read more

I stopped by Komugi and was pleasantly surprised by the friendly and warm service as soon as you enter. All the employees were extremely gracious and kind. This was definitely the highlight of the visit. I tried the cookie salt and butter roll and the matcha donut. Both were unique, fresh, and tasty. The cookie salt and butter roll had an excellent texture and flavor. I recommend trying it. The matcha donut was not too sweet and airy. FYI there is no seating inside. read more

I found myself in the area and figured I'd pop by. The shop is small without any tables but I saw two girls sitting on the one of the many window ledges so that's an option. I ordered an iced matcha latte with oat milk and two pastries, the matcha sunrise and the cube anpan. I ate the matcha sunrise before I could take a good photo, but it was nice and light with a subtle matcha taste. The latte was excellent and had a strong matcha flavor, which I enjoyed. The matcha was a little pricey ($8.50 plus extra for alternative milk) but I'd definitely come back! read more

This is such a cute new little bakery. It's very tiny/cafeteria style almost. However, the buns are all so soft and delicious. The salt and butter rolls are all so so good. I didn't love the French toast honestly but the other things were so good that I didn't care. The curry pan specifically was a great savory option. The drinks were also delicious - great matcha and coffee. The service was also really friendly and helpful. Everyone was so nice. And you can see into the tiny kitchen where they're actively baking more and being so precise. Id definitely go back! read more

Curry pan was $6. Perfectly light and airy all the way around, with a nice amount of curry for flavor. A touch dry though, and the curry tasted packaged. Would be back to try others -- I bet the salt and butter rolls are great read more

Lighter than air, these pastries, breads, whatever. Seriously, they were there and then...they were gone. Inhaled. I can't wait to go back and try the savory treats. Great customer service as well. read more

A nice corner cafe with Japanese pastry and coffee. Service is super friendly. Coffee is ok (nothing spectacular but decent). Pastry is good, although I wish that it's warmed up rather than served cold. It's mostly walk-in with no seatings or parking. It's a great neighborhood cafe that I'll visit again. read more

Cute Japanese bakery that just opened in the neighborhood. I came in soon after they opened in the morning so many things were still coming fresh out of the oven. This is how I ended getting a ham and cheese panini when my intention was to just get pastries to-go. The panini was delicious and perfectly gooey and flavorful. I also bought the sunrise bread roll which is a soft bread roll with a cookie-like crust on top. That was also very good and the bread was still soft hours later when I tried it. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other pastries read more

My husband and I were so happy that they are so close to us. Their matcha is so much better than anyone else in the area. Not too milky or too sweet plus not bitter. My husband was impressed with their coffee as well. We wish they open at least 5 days a week. We tried almost every single item of their bake goods and I like that they are not too sweet and also so yummy as well. We will try more of their savory bakery products as well next time. read more

delicious, both bread and filling super tasty, and the employees are incredibly sweet (gave us two pieces of bread for free). great (though overlooked) place, 10/10 would come again and recommend :) read more

Lovely new takeout-only cafe for Union Square. Pastries are delicious and unique, and drinks well-crafted. I will be back often to try all the pastry selections, and it's already entered my rotation of breakfast options in the area. read more
