Crema's Take
“Verveine is a gluten-free bakery that's so good it doesn't feel like a compromise—reviewers consistently compare it favorably to the best GF spots in New York, and regulars rave about pastries like their red velvet cookies and ube brownies that taste genuinely indulgent rather than carefully engineered. If you're celiac or just want pastries that actually taste like butter and care went into them, this Cambridge spot is worth seeking out, though expect to pay top dollar for the quality. The matcha and creative specialty drinks round out the experience for a solid café visit, not just a grab-and-go.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu.

Undoubtedly one of the best gluten free bakeries I’ve ever been to — and I’ve been to a LOT. Probably my favorite in the US (!) tied with a spot in NYC. Been twice in 3 days here in Cambridge. Tried the baguette, scone, two cookies, pizza hand pie, and BEC sandwich. (And have…
My favorite cafe in Cambridge at the moment. Love coming here for quick bites. I’m not someone who follows a gluten-free diet, so when they first opened last year, I wasn’t sure what the pastry situation would be. But their pastry selections had a lot of interesting items that…
