Probably the best breakfast sandwich I've had in the Union square area. The customer service was 10's across the board!!!!!

Not sure what the hype is about. The english muffins aren't good. Too heavy and doughy, honestly would've preferred a frozen Thomas' English muffin, at least they get the texture and consistency right. read more

The BEST place for a breakfast sammy and coffee in and around Boston! Their maple latte is to die for. Do yourself a favor and order a muffin 4 pack and freeze them so you have them on hand at all times! read more

Food & drinks here are awesome. Friendly staff, small place but feels homey. Have been here a bunch because enticed by the novelty/quality, but now that I know what it's all about and tried many of the menu items, don't think I will be able to come back that much, because prices are too high. It's definitely a treat for me, not somewhere I can go every day. I would like to get something inexpensive like an English muffin with butter & jam.. this shouldn't be more than $2? read more

I have been wanting to come here for a while now and it did not disappoint! We got the GOAT and a toasted English muffin with maple butter and they were both amazing. Can't wait to come back and try more! read more

It's no surprise this gem of a bakery sells out its muffins by early afternoon. We finally got around to trying this small bakery the other day and it did not disappoint. There was only one type of muffin left (something with molasses) and quite frankly I was a little reluctant but since I was committed to the tuna sandwich that popped up in my IG feed, we gave it a go. Amazing! Even the tuna was top notch. Finished the meal off with their pound cake and granola to snack on while driving home. Now I can't wait to go back and try the rest of their menu. Oh and we got to meet the owners.. no wonder this place shines.. amazing food and customer service to match! read more

The best place for a breakfast sandwich in Somerville- price and quality are both 10/10. English muffins are handmade and the bomb, so any sandwich you get is going to be great. Also the people are just amazing. read more

The English muffins here are so excellent, and the sandwiches are delicious and a perfect size! A really sweet spot. The staff are also so nice and really accommodating which made the whole experience extra nice. Definitely recommend! read more

I am not sure how long this place has been around but this has to be one the best small coffee and bakery cafes I've been too (and New England has so many hidden gems). The coffee appears to come from Tandem Coffee (a coffee roaster up in Portland, Maine) which was superb (had their drip coffee and a shot of espresso on the side to try both). The breakfast sandwich and muffin I had were equally amazing. The service was attentive and very friendly (don't always find that in privately run bakeries). Congratulations Sarah on a wonderful establishment. I will be visiting again! read more

Fine? Average food, nice people. Seems like a spot for hipsters and folks who really love English muffins, and I am neither. You might enjoy if you are. read more

Out of the world sandwiches. Best English muffin I have ever had. I had the G.O.A.T with ham. Pesto tasted delicious. Definitely coming back again and more frequently. The coffee was good too. read more

Best breakfast of all time? A Miss Maple with bacon, plus an iced Tandem coffee Americano. And smiles and good vibes on the side. All available 6-days-week at Vinal Bakery! Love love love. read more

Love the egg sandwiches, coffee & treats, and the staff are delightful. It's clean, nice decor, and friendly. But at popular times of day, it's too hectic & has a lot of bumping into you/them crowded jostle. I think the layout needs a bit of a rethink to better handle traffic flow. Maybe even have people taking orders out front like they do at Clover, or apps & self-admin spots like BGood or Bon Me as examples. read more

I ordered the American Classic with bacon on a french toast English muffin and a cappuccino. Everything was perfect! The French toast English muffin was crisp and not too sweet. Love this little Somerville gem. read more

The English muffins are incredible! Sarah and her crew are so great! Keep track on their Instagram to snag the specialty muffins when they're available! Recommend to GOAT sandwich! Yummy! read more

Yummm, that was good. Just sampled the wares at Vinal, very nice. Started with the GOAT on a classic English muffin -- and it was really is as good as everyone says. Just a great mix of flavors and textures, basic stuff but fresh and tasty. The blueberry muffin has a nice glaze, tons of fresh blueberries (seems like those smaller wild Maine berries), had it with a side of delicious maple butter. Prices aren't cheap, but basically what you'd expect. Wasn't that crowded, even on a Sunday morning, but that probably won't last, with food this good.... read more

I adore Vinal! Incredible pillowy English muffins, runny eggs, tasty sauces, nice people and great coffee... I could go on. We couldn't ask for better neighbors! The Miss Maple with bacon on a French toast muffin changed my life, also the Sam I Am with feta, and really just everything on the menu... read more

I don't write Yelp reviews often. Vinal Bakery made the best breakfast sandwich I've had in my life: the Somerville special. Homemade English muffin. Garlic basil butter. Heirloom tomato. Cheese. Over medium egg cooked perfectly--runny enough to saturate the English muffin but not too runny to spill all over my hands. Amazingly done. I'm going back tomorrow. read more

The best breakfast sandwich you will ever eat, hands down. I got the American classic -- egg and cheese on a homemade English muffin. This was 2 weeks ago, and I'm still daydreaming about it. Also, got a homemade oatmeal cream pie to go -- it was divine. I will be back to try the Miss Maple with maple butter next time! read more

Best English muffins I've ever had. I don't even like English muffins and love these, especially the french toast muffins. Breakfast sandwiches are amazing. Also highly recommend the oatmeal creme pie. This place is just the best. You can't go wrong here. read more

Update - my original review still stands as this place is def worth 5 stars a year later. Vinal is SO GOOD. And the employees are always so nice and even give out dog treats (so cute!). Not sure if they would ever consider this, but would be dope if they started making bagels!! read more

BEST breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. And I'm from New Jersey!!!! I dream about Goat and sausage mcvinal with garlicky greens

There aren't many 5 star bakeries/coffee shops in the area, but this is one of the best. They've really done a excellent job with adapting to COVID era, easy seamless pickup and delicious food & drink. An oasis amongst the sea of union square construction! Thank you vinal!!! read more

The food at Vinal Bakery is delicious, and the environment is nice (but very crowded) in non-COVID times. I particularly love the GOAT and the Miss Maple breakfast sandwiches, which I think are pretty popular all around. Their baked goods and lattes are also very good but I've only had them once. Ordering online is easy, but there's usually a pretty long wait because they're so popular, so make sure you order before you go/get hungry! read more

Delicious food, first time trying it out, we got two breakfast sandwiches and a coffee and everything was great. Definitely the best breakfast sandwich I've had in the area read more

The only bad thing about this place is that they aren't open every day! Amazing egg sandwiches and baked goods.

No reason to dock stars on the review. We all got English muffin egg sandwiches. Prices were reasonable enough. All four of us agreed they were the best we had ever had. read more

Great food, great service, great experience all around. I get the G.O.A.T and it's exactly that....the greatest of all time. I wish this bakery nothing but success! read more

if paul hollywood were in the building, he would be dishing out nothing but handshakes and high fives. top marks. the only thing better than the food is the service. worlds best english muffins. read more

Truly the sweetest bakery and spot. The food is delicious, the coffee is divine, and the staff is incredibly kind and considerate. Happily a new regular :) read more

Vinal is, without a doubt, the best English Muffin place on the planet. Not only that, but they also have the best classic breakfast egg sandwich on the planet. You could never ever go wrong with the American Classic on a Classic English Muffin. On TOP of that, they have the best staff in New England. I absolutely love this place, and I can't wait to get an American Classic when this is all done (we're trying our hardest to recreate, but there's nothing like this sandwich). read more

This place is incredible- I just discovered it I've been there 3 times in 2 weeks. I love the breadth of breakfast sandwich flavors they'll add to an already-generously-sized english muffin. Small place, so usually no seating during weekend brunch, but the service is incredibly fast. If it's a weekend after 1pm, I recommend taking your muffin sandwich down the street to the Bantam cidery (they're BYOFood) to enjoy with a cider! read more

This is my favorite spot for breakfast and coffee in the Cambridge/Somerville area. Flavor is out if this world in almost every sandwich and they are incredibly creative with the specials. I recommend this place to all my friends and come at least once a week. While the portions are definitely coffee shop size it makes up for it in flavor!! read more

I've been wanting to check out Vinal's new digs since they opened this brick & mortar, and it was everything I had hoped it would be. The breakfast sandwiches (we tried the classic & Sam I Am) were fresh, made to order, and so delicious, and we ordered an extra bag of English muffins and some of their homemade granola to go. Everything was even better than expected. Coffee (Tandem from Portland) was outstanding too. Will be back soon and often! read more

Hands down the best bakery in Somerville/Cambridge. Love everything on the menu- obviously incredible English muffins ( all flavors are delicious), great sandwich options, tasty baked goods, and yummy coffee. Will return any chance I get! read more

I discovered this place a couple weeks ago and love it! They have the best English muffins I've ever had, real eggs, and fresh produce, great coffee too! read more

Final has the best English muffins breakfast sandwiches in the Boston area. It is worth the drive from wherever you are!!!

Love love love! The maple walnut scones are amazing. All the English muffins are wonderful - my favorite is the oat sesame spread with almond butter and honey. The staff provide great service and the quality is always on point. read more

Very inviting and dey wanna treat me right I like it. Come on by already read more

The English muffins ARE incredible... probably why I keep going back despite the few experiences I have had being less than great. The people are nice there, and the food is pretty good, that's not my issue. My issue is that it'll set a person back 10+ dollars for a very small sandwich and a small, less-than-stellar espresso drink. I've tried a hot mocha and an iced maple latte, and both times the espresso tasted burnt. The mocha was flavored by a chocolate ganache, which is a cool touch, but the combination of the burnt coffee and the bitter ganache made it unpleasant to drink. The iced maple latte kind of just tasted like sweet, burnt iced coffee. I got the Archie sandwich twice, and the first time the sandwich was stuffed with Pb, marshmallow creme, and those delicious sweet and salty peanuts! Truly worth the $5+ I was paying. The one today was mostly just English muffin with a small smear of each topping and barely any nuts. Really disappointing because the Archie is GOOD. I really want to love this place, but if I'm paying $10+ for a coffee and sandwich before tip, I want it to be good and consistent. read more
