Crema's Take
“This beloved Brookline bakery is a Boston-area gem where nearly every customer remark circles back to the exceptional quality of freshly made pies and pastries—from that showstopping peach blueberry to a Key Lime so perfectly balanced it'll make you pucker with joy. The warm, attentive team keeps people coming back solo or with family, making it easy to linger over both their standout baked goods and surprisingly excellent shakes. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or settling in with a slice, you'll understand why regulars have yet to find a single disappointment here.”

Undoubtedly, my favorite bakery in the Boston area. Over the years I've tried nearly everything they have to offer and have yet to be disappointed. The food is freshly made, the whole team is incredible, and I highly recommend getting an array of pies and desserts to sustain your friends and family for any major holiday. They are also very accomodating to special requests if you order ahead.
I’m consistently impressed with the quality of all their baked goods, service and approachability. After sampling their wide assortment of Sweet and Savory delights, I started to order their shakes. Wake-up is my favorite with a zing of coffee. I began to share my find and regular stop on my dog walk with people I work with and the pastries were consumed with amazing alacrity. They made me look good. They are a welcoming place for locals looking to support their neighborhood bakery or destination for those visiting in the area.
Wow! Went in on a whim and was absolutely blown away by how good the pie here was! All their treats look great, but I personally loved the peach blueberry pie, something I never tried before and was absolutely perfect! You won’t regret coming into this small neighborhood shop for anything, don’t miss out!
Amazing Key Lime Pie. I grew up in Florida and this pie has everything I look for. Just enough tartness to provide a smile and puckered lips without being overpowering, but best of all a full tangible creamy filling. Most Key Lime pies fall short with a light wimpy filling that makes the pie feel like all whip cream. This filling is super smooth, creamy, and tart and the whip cream topper has so much yummy vanilla in it. Surround it in a deep crumbly crust.. and Bravo! I could eat the whole thing!
I've stopped here by myself or with my daughter at least a half dozen times. The people are always attentive, cheerful, and just enough helpfulness without being pushy. From the turkey sandwich to the breakfast treats, the food has been fresh, satisfying, and well portioned! The hot & iced coffees are very good, while my daughter goes for the tea - which means that is good, too. Once, when I was avoiding carbs, they swapped large lettuce leaves for the bread for my sandwich. Next time, I'll remember a few pics! Stopped in for a great breakfast sandwich today - and took 3 more photos! Love this spot!!
