bōm dough cafe - lechmere
1 Canal Park Lechmere, Cambridge, MA
Crema's Take
“Bōm Dough Cafe is a charming Brazilian spot in Lechmere where pão de queijo (those addictively cheesy little buns) isn't just a side—it's the star of the show, especially in their signature sandwiches that swap traditional bread for warm, pillowy cheese bread. The coffee is genuinely excellent and pairs perfectly with their standout guava pastries, though fair warning: this cozy hidden gem gets packed on weekends, so arrive early or grab your pão de queijo to go. It's the kind of place that'll have you coming back a second time just to stock up on those huge, golden buns.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Really cute hidden gem cafe. The little buns are delicious, best ones are guava and the classic. The coffee was also so good. It is small inside, so hard to find a spot on the weekend.
I visited Boston in September and came across this cafe as I was staying in Cambridge. Oh man, the pao de quiejo was so good (and huge!), that I went back a second time just to get half a dozen to go. I recommend just getting the plain ones, even though the dulce de leche filled…
Why the heck did you turn the breakfast sandwich into two mini sliders!!! It used to be a full sandwich, now it’s just an appetizer! So freaking disappointing to get back to work and see that my lunch is half the size. It was all gone in 6 bites! Also, it’s too small to hold…
