Komugi
68 Prospect St, Somerville, MA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Somerville, this Japanese bakery transforms simple ingredients into something transcendent—their pillowy salt and butter rolls and fluffy French toast have earned comparisons to the best bakeries across Boston, Korea, and Japan. What really sets the place apart is the warmth radiating from the staff and the unhurried, welcoming atmosphere that makes it perfect for lingering over a Kyoto hot coffee or sneaking back three days in a row. It's the kind of spot where you discover unexpected favorites like their buttery curry bread, and leave feeling genuinely cared for.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Wow. I’ve been to a lot of bakeries, not just in Boston, but also Korea and Japan and Komugi’s baked goods are probably one of the best that I’ve had in a while! The French toast is so fluffy and sweet but not too sweet. The matcha was also very good - concentrated flavor where…
The very cheerful & sunny staff at Komugi bake clouds into bread format. We came 3 days in a row during their grand opening -- it is that good. So far, we've tried: * Emoji bun -- we got a warm one and the dark chocolate + custard filling was amazing! So rare to find a bun with…
