    Basque Cheesecake
    Stephanie B.

    So friendly and easy to work with! We ordered 2 basque cheesecakes and they were beautiful and delicious, rich, creamy, and not overly sweet. They have a great selection of pastries, will definitely be back!

    Thai Tea Cake, iced pandan
    Apex S.

    Exquisite as expected. We stopped here for celebratory dessert and wanted to try something we hadn't eaten before so we got the coconut pandan cake and the hot ube latte. The cake was delicious and had not only whipped cream but also a custard-y layer to it. The ube latte was yummy too, hit the spot on a cold windy day. I know it says latte but it doesn't have any coffee in it FYI. Ambiance is a very pleasant vibe, we sat in a sunny corner enjoying it drinks and dessert for an hour or so. Highly recommend!

    Ube cake

    Maprang has been a great addition to Union Sq. I always get excited to get their Ube latte, ube basque cheesecake and a classic - the chocolate chip cookie. It's a small cafe with a few table and chairs but also a standing wall table. The staff is always friendly when I visit.

    Cute Thai owned bakery! I got the: -pandan tea: super refreshing and the pandan flavor is definitely there! I loved this. -ube cake: not too sweet = best compliment! It was delicious, cake was fluffy and super cute -pandan cake: again, love how the pandan flavor is there! Doesn't taste like the artificial stuff. Service was fast and it's cute inside

    Carrot Cake

    This is a cute little place, tucked into Somerville Massachusetts, right outside of the busier parts of Boston. There are some street parking and a little plaza with a few metered parking as well that you can pay for. This little shop has a few seats inside, not super big, but smells wonderful. They have some pastries, cakes, and select beverages at your disposal. I wish I could have tried more, but I just had lunch and I only grabbed the carrot cake, and it was delicious. I'm not super big on raisins, but there's a few recipes that make me not mind them at all and this is one of them. Perfect amount of sweetness isn't overwhelming and has a good flavor. I did see some people order drinks and desserts as well and the plates they put on is super cute. The workers here were nice and efficient, and I was in and out. I'd recommend this to anyone with a sweet tooth, I don't think you will be disappointed.

    Pistachio Latte, Chai Latte and a small filled pastry.

    Pistachio latte and a pastry. I would skip the pastry and center my day around coming back for an individual cake. They look dynamite! H/T Jimmy "JJ" Walker.

    My partner and I shared an iced pandan drink - TASTE: 5/5 - I love pandan, and this drink nailed it! Strong flavor that had me addicted lol. Looking forward to coming back and trying the sweets PRICE: 4/5 - total came to $6.50 SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - perfect amount for an afternoon sweet treat SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at 3:15pm on a Friday and a few folks were inside. The employee at the counter was friendly, and our drink was ready in less than 5min ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - small and sunny space, handful of seats, and a display case filled w decadent treats PARKING: 4/5 - got a metered street spot on Stone Ave

    Such an amazing cafe! I got the Thai tea cake, carrot cake, Oreo ball, and strawberry Thai tea latte with oat milk. I absolutely loved that they had a little picture menu of all the fun drinks/flavor combos you could order. I've never had a Thai tea latte before and this one was so good. The cakes were so tasty as well. I loved the fall theme here. Will have to go back when there's a geometric pumpkin cake available (they recommend calling ahead to confirm it's there)

    Strawberry Shortcake
    Anna T.

    This place is on a street with a bunch of shops and they have 15 minute parking specifically to help these businesses. We got lucky and got one of those 15 minute spots, love that parking set up! The prices were more than I expected, so I only got six items, but after bringing them home and trying them all? I have serious regrets not getting more. My partner loves strawberry shortcake and says this is as good as it gets. It is so light and fluff, the strawberry is the star of the show, the cream and sponge are still soft and delicate and sweet, the perfect backup to the strawberries. Also huge shout out to the cashier who packaged the cakes. She put so much care into packaging them prettily. We watched her fold the box together, it had a cute cat sticker to close it, and she taped the pastry base down so it didn't slide in the box. We also got the little mushroom hand pie and chicken curry hand pie. Not sure if they're called hand pies? I'm so sorry I didn't get a photo of those, but they were so adorable. Perfectly laminated dough and the crimping on all the edges, fillings were sweet, and I could eat one of those for breakfast for the rest of my life and be content.

    Thai Tea Cake
    Irisa J.

    Tried Maprang Bakery & Cafe for the first time today and already wish it was closer to home! I ordered a matcha latte and a strawberry thai iced tea, both were great. The matcha latte was perfectly balanced, not too sweet or bitter, and the strawberry thai tea had a stronger strawberry flavor than thai tea, but it was refreshing and enjoyable. I also picked up three cakes: the thai tea and coffee cakes for a friend, and the strawberry matcha cake for myself and my boyfriend. My friend said the Thai tea cake was "so good", definitely a hit. We had the strawberry matcha cake a couple hours later and it was still delicious. The cake was moist, the matcha flavor wasn't overpowering, and the strawberries tasted super fresh. There's a big variety of drinks on the menu, so I definitely want to come back and try more. Everyone was also very friendly, which made the experience even better. If only they were closer to home, I'd be a regular!

    Ube cake
    Lauren L.

    My friend was raving about the cakes so I was so excited to try. I love how it has unique Asian inspired flavors, which aren't as commonly seen in bakeries. The options were amazing and they had a lot of drink options too. I wanted to try the mango shortcake but sadly they were sold out since it was the afternoon. So we opted for an ube cake and it was delicious! Light and fluffy- and not too sweet!

    Helen Z.

    We have ordered a couple of custom cakes from here. The first time we got a coconut pandan cake for our small wedding, and the second time we ordered an ube cake for a birthday. Both were delicious, not to sweet, light and moist. I wish we lived closer so we could get these treats more often!

    Order the Thai Tea Cake for your next birthday gathering. Both the cake and the frosting tastes like Thai Iced Tea. Very unique and tasty. My friends and I have also tried the Ube cake but all agree the Thai Tea Cake is better. The Ube cake frosting lacks Ube flavor. Note: Watch your step exiting the bakery - there is a pretty steep step. I almost completely dropped my cake that I was picking up.

We tried the buttercream frosting and the cream cheese frosting. Buttercream frosting was a bit sweet, I preferred the cream cheese. We ordered for the day before the party and put the cupcakes in the fridge. Would recommend taking them out for about an hour so the frosting softens up. TBH the cupcakes were good for allergen friendly cupcakes but if you don't have any allergies then the cupcakes just don't compare to regular ones. I would consider ordering from them again if I needed allergen friendly cupcakes. Otherwise likely would not choose this bakery if I need regular old cupcakes. PS It is delivery only, no pick up option.

Since moving to Boston, I hardly see pie on the menu....well today I found a new pie place!!! As soon as I walked in I was met with friendly faces. 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.
