Cozy and quaint spot. The service was really amazing! I had to order a cake for a birthday but was trying to figure out the best time to pick it up. The team went above and beyond to accommodate me. Even included a pastry on the house and I thought that was a sweet gesture. I'm grateful for the experience and the coconut pandan cake was totally worth it! Very simple and elegant and tasteful. Thank you, Maprang! read more

4.5/5 Came here for an almond croissant and have previously had a delicious eclair. The Thai Tea eclair is really tasty with that distinctive thai tea flavor filled inside a great pastry. It is very sweet. The almond croissant is one of the best in Cambridge. The crust is so light and buttery -- really perfect. The delicate outside is complemented read more

Came in on the weekend because I've been wanting to visit for a while and it didn't disappoint. The bakery is very cozy and the staff was very friendly! I ended up getting a Vietnamese ice coffee and the Thai tea cake and both were great. The Thai tea cake in particular was the perfect amount of sweetness and it was light and fluffy. read more

I had the best cheesecake of my LIFE here. The store is small so not a lot of seating but you can just take ur things to bow market and eat it there if you can't find a spot in the store. Anyways the CHEESECAKE. Perfect thickness and density. A hint of tartness from the cream cheese. Consistent all the way through. Perfect amount of sweetness. THIS is what I imagine when I think about cheesecake. I wanna go again. I wanna buy a whole cake. I wanna live inside of the cake. There were other pastries and cakes too that also looked cute. read more

This is such a cute new cafe/bakery in the area! They have a lot of classic bakery items and drinks (croissants, espresso, etc), as well as other cakes/pastries and drinks that have Southeast Asian flavors. I decided to try their strawberry matcha latte ($6.15) with oat milk (+$0.50). The drink had a strong matcha flavor but I thought the strawberry flavor could be stronger. Overall the drink wasn't too sweet even with the strawberry syrup. I'd love to try some of their cakes in the future, which look super cute and tasty! read more

Tiny bakery but quiet ambience if you're looking to read or do some work. Just came in to get a mango and pandan cake. I had the mango cake and it was good while my friend had the pandan cake and really liked it. I would come by to stay longer next time! read more

I absolutely love Maprang Bakery & Cafe! I was looking for unique cake flavors, while also looking for single slices as I like to try a lot of flavors and I took a chance on Maprang. They did not disappoint. The cakes are so light and flavorful. I got their coconut pandan, thai tea, ube, strawberry shortcake and carrot cakes. All were delicious but my favorites were the coconut pandan and ube! I have come here twice now and the service has been extremely friendly both times :) I will be back for more! read more

Such a cute family-owned bakery in Union Square! We came here to pick up a birthday cake and ended up also trying some small desserts and drinks. Our cake was gorgeous and perfectly-sized for a family celebration with eight people (with leftover). The cake was incredibly fluffy, filled with a delicious pandan cream. It was easy for me to eat a large slice since it was so light! After ordering, the staff were so helpful and friendly, and had our drinks prepped quickly! I especially loved the matcha. They also had many desserts to choose from and I'm looking forward to trying more next time we come. They even added an adorable cartoon on our take out bag to celebrate the new year :) With their cafe seating, I imagine this bakery is a great place to relax or study while sipping on yummy drinks! read more

Small bakery located next to Reliable Market with Asian flavors, as well as some more standard bakery fare. I previously came here during their soft opening and enjoyed their Vietnamese iced coffee and came back this time to try some of their desserts as a friend had highly recommended one of their cakes. We tried the coconut pandan cake, Thai tea cake, and basque cheesecake. All were very good - cheesecake was super creamy while not as heavy as traditional cheesecake, and the coconut pandan and Thai tea cakes tasted true to the advertised flavors without being too sweet. Friendly service overall. As I was leaving I ordered a couple extra desserts to go and was overcharged initially, however they reviewed it and were able to fix the mistake. read more

I stopped by before dinner at An Nam to pick up my order through Grubhub because some of the cake will be sold out. I ordered the basque cheesecake, coconut chiffon, coconut pandan cake, thai tea cake, and mango yuzu mousse cake. I brought ube and strawberry flavors when I got there since these weren't available through Grubhub. The cakes aren't too sweet and have unique Asian flavors that few bakeries offer. My favorite is the coconut pandan and Thai tea. read more

Loved the desserts! I would've preferred the Vietnamese iced coffee to have sweet condensed milk in it, but they have sweet syrup available to apply yourself! Available bathroom, fast service. It's a little cramped inside but still cozy. If I lived closer I would definitely be a regular. read more

Super cute cafe with Thai roots -- ask the worker what "maprang" means. The coconut chiffon cake is fluffy with the perfect balance of pandan taste and color. We also thought the Vietnamese coffee had a rich taste that wasn't overly sweet; you can tell it is brewed fresh. read more

Maprang is the cutest addition we can have in Union Square. I had a chance to speak with the baker, who said she learned how to make these cakes from Youtube. She was very sweet and answered all my questions while also providing her recommendations as to what was popular. I tried their Thai tea cake, Mango Yuzu Mousse, and coconut chiffon cake. The Thai tea cake tastes true to its name. I wish it had slightly less cream and more cake, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless. The mango yuzu mousse was soooo pretty. It almost made it too pretty to eat. I could taste the mango and yuzu flavor, and it was not overwhelming. It was light and not sour nor overly sweet. My favorite was honestly the coconut chiffon cake. There is real coconut in this cake, and it makes it so much more moist and better. I would stop by and try some of the other desserts. read more

They are tops in service and flavor! I ordered a whole Pandan coconut cake and a whole matcha strawberry cake for my daughter's graduation. Due to a mix up, we didn't pick up before closing time. But the owners were kind enough to stay late well past closing to ensure we could get the cakes! The cakes themselves were beautiful, tasty, and not too sweet. The coconut cream in the Pandan cake was out of this world. All in all, I highly recommend Maprang! read more

I came here because of the nice looking desserts. They actually taste very good too. The mango yuzu mousse is mango moose with yuzu paste in the middle. It's so good. Their cheese cake is good too. They are not like the ones in the US or Japan. It's a bit different and tastes a bit salty in a good way. It tastes best when it's cold. I'll definitely want to come back here and try more. Service is good too. They have some seating inside. read more

Been here a couple times now and I've also ordered two full size cakes from here. The cafe is small, but it's very cute. The Vietnamese iced coffee is just okay - it doesn't give me that caffeine rush like the traditional one. It does taste like it's made with just espresso. I would get the matcha latte again. I asked for it with almond milk and a touch of sweetness and it was so good! The coconut pandan cake was delicious. Light and mildly sweet. I got the full size cake for a family birthday and they all loved it. Also got the full size carrot cake and it was very good too! Service is friendly and efficient. There is a parking lot in the back too which is nice. read more

Lovely little cafe in Union. The owners are very nice and the service is excellent. I really liked my drink, but wasn't the largest fan of the dessert. The passion fruit mousse could use more passion fruit as it was mostly frosting. The coffee cake was excellent. read more

I had the best ube latte of my life here! I came for the fluff festival and ordered an ube latte with fluff. For an extra cute touch they even made little ghost faces on the fluff. The latte had a nice coconut undertone and was just sweet enough. I can't wait to come back here! read more

Wow, just wow. The place deserves 5 stars just for the cakes they serve. We had the thai tea and coconut pandan. The cakes are some of the best Asian inspired cakes I've ever had. Fluffy, light and not too sweet. We also got Thai tea latte and Vietnamese coffee. The drinks are decent, but nothing special. Vietnamese coffee doesn't taste like it. it's lacking the condensed milk taste.the service was very good. There are a few small tables if you want to dine in, but it is more ideal for smaller groups or takeout. read more

a wonderful addition to Union Square! i love stopping by for little cakes and beverages, especially iced drinks in the summertime - i prefer their fruit teas/lemonades/sodas over their lattes (a little too milky for my taste) great service & cute ambiance - always bustling! read more

We ordered a pandan cake for our daughter's baby shower and it was a hit! Everyone wanted to know where the cake was from and there was not one crumb left. Needless to say we were very happy with Maprang. We used to stop by weekly since we lived down the street but since we moved away it's been harder to make a trip especially with a newborn. We miss the staff, the delicious lattes, and cakes tremendously and can't wait for our next visit. read more

I love love love that this bakery exists. Trying to find good unique asian flavor cakes is soo hard to find within boston. Coconut pandan 5/5 - my friends think pandan flavor can be a little stronger, but other than that I think that the chunks of fresh coconut in the middle layer is so unique and soo so so so good. Thai tea cake (not pictured)- the thai tea cake is also really good and well balanced and actually tastes like im eating thai tea in cake form. My friend said the matcha latte was really good 5/5. I can't wait to come back and try more! I really want to try their purple yam cake, but they didn't have it today. Service 5/5- they are super nice Ambiance- its very cute aesthetic, little small for a cafe, but very nice read more

Nestled in Union Square is Maprang Café. Cute and cozy Asian café with endless pastry and sweet options. I have walked by this place a few times and was thrilled to finally try it and it wasn't super busy when I walked in. I ordered the pumpkin spice latte and it was so delicious! The perfect amount of spice and a creamy finish. The food options also looked really pretty and colorful. I will mention the price points for the food options seemed a little pricey for the size and amount, but that is just my personal opinion. It is an adorable café and overall had a nice experience during my first visit. read more

The space is quaint and fun to be in. The staff are very nice and will answer any questions about the delicious desserts made with care. We enjoyed the Thai Tea Eclair which was filled with tasty Thai tea filling. Not too sweet and fresh! We also had a Thai Tea drink and matcha which were all made fresh to order and we did not wait long at all! It was fun to learn that Maprang is a small fruit and is like a mini mango! We will be back to try more of the delicious, beautiful desserts! read more

What a cute cafe! The owners are super friendly. I am trying to limit sugar intake so the owner was able to reduce as much sugar as possible (sugar mixed in already but he was able to adjust it by adding more milk). The bobas are chewy yay! The cakes are so pretty and two of the 3D design cakes are similar to the shop on Newbury St but this cafe has better filling (mango yuzu mousse!) I am very happy to stumble across the bakery as they offer interesting Asian flavors (ube, pandan, etc). Next time I have to come here hungry so I can sample their pastry selections. The ham and cheese tart is airy and light, way better than ham and cheese crossaints I have been eating at other shops. Check out their custom cake designs on Facebook! I may have to put in a cake order soon because they are so beautiful. Few tables for dine and I believe parking is either metered or maybe shared with reliabale market in the back? And a huge thank you for the owner who rushed out to return phone that was left behind on the counter. read more

Maprang is such a gem! Besides the lovely Asian-inspired food and drink, their service is top notch. In the past, I've ordered a Basque cheesecake which was so delicious and decadent!

Love this cafe! I live in Hainan, China before, and really enjoyed pandan dessert. This coconut pandan cake reminds of home. The pandan chiffon is so fresh and light, just tastes like spring.

I had just bought an almond croissant at another new bakery in Somerville and decided to get one here and do a taste test. Maprang's was the winner by a mile. It was flaky, rich, and not too sweet. And the people behind the counter were nice and welcoming too. What a great addition to the neighborhood! read more

4.5. We ordered their carrot, mango, strawberry, and coconut pandan (my fave) cakes and mango yuzu mousse. Between two of us we ate them all in one day lol bc we didn't want them to go bad and bc they were actually just really good. Mango, strawberry, and coconut pandan cakes were light and not too sweet. Carrot cake was a little more dense and sweeter which is expected but still good. Mango yuzu mousse I think could've had a little more mango and yuzu flavor. Overall v good and I would go back and try their other pastries and drinks. read more

The drinks are SO CUTE!!!! And not to mention delicious. My favorite summer drink on their menu is the matcha lemonade-- and I love that they have images of the drinks too so you know exactly what you are getting. The desserts always look so yummy, I've only ever had the ham and cheese croissant and it was pretty good, not blow your mind amazing but yummy! What keeps me coming back though is the workers. Everyone working there is so warm and friendly, incredibly polite and they are so smiley and sweet. They genuinely brighten my day each time!! read more
