Blue Frog Bakery - Sesame and poppyseed bagels - Bakeries Near Me - Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts

Always the best breads - from Irish soda to boule. But today I tried a peanut butter cookie and it was outstanding! Yummy!!! Thank you Blue Frog! read more

This locally owned bakery has become one of my go-to spots to visit whenever I'm in JP. My most recent order was a pear danish pastry, which tasted sweet and fresh! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable on the recipes and ingredients they use. The only reason I'm giving this 4 is because I wish there was a seating space indoors. read more

Amazing bread, and friendly service. It's a very small storefront a bit hidden but worth the effort!

Their quiche is elite. I wish they had more than just the mushroom one but regardless those things are next level. Only available on the weekend but velvety smooth! read more

didnt appreciate the guy working there sitting in front of the counter staring at me the whole time i tried to order.

I dashed in on a Sunday morning to grab some bagels and pastries and muffins for brunch. And *everything* was excellent. It's dangerous to my waist line to know this. read more

Please stay away. The baked goods are old and stale . You're better off going to a grocery store . It was the worst croissant I've ever eaten in my life . It was dry and hard . The baguette was just as bad. Please stay away ! read more

This place is GREAT--when it's open. It's very often NOT open. Having a high-quality, locally-owned bakery in the neighborhood is such a tremendous asset. Having it closed so often is such a disappointment. read more

I'm not sure why people are hating on this place. Their bread is delicious, and I like to get there right as they open to get a fresh pain au chocolat at an affordable price. I've found the staff to be friendly. Check it out! read more

Delicious baked goods! I was saving the perfect bit of my strawberry Danish and I can't explain how devastated I was when the strawberry fell off and ruined my perfect bite. I found the almond croissant a little underwhelming, but the bruleed sugar croissant was knocked out of the park amazing. I can't wait to try more. For my own record I will admit I was underwhelmed with the chai late as well, not much flavor. Definitely recommend! read more

Blue Frog Bakery - Caramelized sugar croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts

They are open during Quarantine! We set out on a Saturday morning to get some doughnuts at a place down the street, but that place was PACKED so we opted to swing by Blue Frog. There were about 10 different types of delicious looking pastries, plus bagels and a variety of fresh bread on a shelf in the back. We got a chocolate bread pudding muffin (so quirky and yummy!) per recommendation of the cashier. We also got a cinnamon roll, strawberry danish and a loaf of 7 wheat bread. Everything tasted fresh, the service was polite. Come on by to support a local business during the lockdown!! read more

Very yummy sourdough! My go to choice for a light and airy loaf that is so good you can just eat it on its own! The staff is very friendly. They don't have the ability to slice the bread for you, which would be a nice addition, but doesn't take away from the experience. It always smells wonderful in there and the pastries are gorgeous! read more

Tried this place about 4 years ago, tried again recently. The service is borderline hostile and apparently this works for them somehow. I know it's very hard to operate a small business, so I am surprised to see this place still open after I see all the reviews and I've had my experiences here. It's one thing if the employees are hostile and rude. But I think the people that are acting this way are the owners! I think my encounter the other day was with the owner. I was the only customer in there and I had a few questions about the limiter selection at noon. Curt, one word answers. Impatient service. The person acted annoyed when I said I wanted an item and I guess I referred to it incorrectly. Just go to Fiores on South Street for everything. If you don't want to go that far and you just want some chocolate chip cookies, go to Same Old Place... They actually sell these individual chocolate chip cookies in cellophane that are good. If you want higher priced, albeit vegan baked items, cross Centre and go to FOMU. There's no reason to be cold to a single patron in your establishment. 0 for 2 for me, and I'm not alone here clearly. The baked items I purchased were fine. I would have been happier with a Snickers bar. read more

Food: DELICIOUS PASTRIES! Big, filling, heavy, but every single one of these pastries was absolutely amazing. Nothing to complain. They def kept me going for the entire day. Recommend getting both sweet AND savory! Location: I don't venture out to JP that much but this is def a hidden gem. They had outdoor seating so I got a coffee and ate some of the pastries then took some back (didn't stay in my fridge long lol I devoured them). Also very T-accessible. read more

Great baked goods and service. Baquettes are yummy. Cookies very good too. And the macaroons are great.

Bagels weren't the best (can see a video of our experience below) but there is no doubt these guys know how to whip up some good pastries. FYI they only make bagels on the weekend https://youtu.be/U9pmVl9uZ9Q read more

no one bakes bread like brad bakes bread. have you had his ciabatta? yum. pastries, breads, cookies, candies. come in!!

I've driven past the Blue Frog Bakery several times and decided to stop in today and give it a try. Perhaps I should have arrived earlier in the morning or not come the day before Thanksgiving - as the selection was vastly limited and most of the pies were pre-ordered for the holiday; however, I managed to try two bakery items. I ordered an almond croissant and a cherry almond cake. The almond croissant was ok - not the best I've ever had but decent. The outside was a little over-cooked but the inside was flaky and had good almond flavor. The individual cherry almond cake was my favorite of the two. It was moist and the cherries were delicious. It wasn't too sweet, just subtle and a nice treat. The shop is small, and like I said, the selection was limited. But the pies looked delicious and so did the fresh bread. So if you want to shop small and shop local, I'd suggest buying your baked goods at the Blue Frog Bakery. read more

Alarmingly hostile service. There are plenty of better bakeries in town, no need to subject yourself to this.

I've been here once but I've visited the bakery's tent at farmers' markets. I want to like this place; I really do. I have a weakness for local bakeries but I also have high expectations for my baked goods. The chocolate croissant was most disappointing as it was dry inside and quite tasteless. It didn't have that French croissant flavor and texture to it. In general, the croissants here are below average. Totally off the mark. The sugar brioche was okay, but a bit dry. However, there was some decent amount of egg in the brioche. I would've given this an average grade. What saved this bakery from a lower grade was the chocolate almond croissant bread pudding. Yeah, I know what it is: old croissants that are baked in custard. However, there was enough good chocolate flavor to the pudding and it was moist enough. Heck, if bread pudding can't be moist, nothing can. Prices aren't terrible but not impressive either, especially with the quality of the products sampled. Service has been okay the times I've encountered Blue Frog but I seem to be an afterthought every time, which is quite discouraging. read more

This is a little jewel of a bakery, sophisticated, delicious breads, cookies and fancy tarts...and chocolate croissants! Hidden a few doors off Center St and tiny but mighty! read more

Amazing everything here. And the women who run it are so nice!!! I love this spot! Definitely try any and all the breads and the brioche is top tier. read more

This little bakery off Centre Street has a lovely selection of scrumptious goodies. Ask them for a recommendation! read more

Blue Frog Bakery - This little bakery has a stellar selection of truly tasty, scrumptious goodies, as well as friendly service. - Bakeries Near Me - Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts

I've had a variety of baked goods from here (tartes, cakes, pies, croissants), and they've all been pretty solid. I'm partial to the $20 apple crumble pie, which was well-made, balanced, delicious, and held up well over the course of the holidays (and made for excellent leftovers). Hard to predict what they'll have and when they'll have it aside from the few things they post on social media, so it's a bit of a gamble what'll be there when you stop by- so maybe don't make a special trip if you're looking for something specific. read more

I have been coming to Blue Frog for years. The pastries are delicious, and the service has always been great. I have also ordered several cakes here for birthdays and other special occasions, and my guests have always been impressed and delighted. This bakery is a true Jamaica Plain gem! read more

So my friend's roommate used to work here and thus had to go here when I visited it (because I heard about all the amazing treats this place made!) It was a really really hard choice. Brioche muffins, scones, cookies, cupcakes. I knew I was done for when I saw the fruit tarts. I went with the cranberry and I regret nothing. Gotta get there early if you want croissants! read more

I really like their multigrain Pullman bread! It's hardy and chewy and makes amazing toast. Great to see Rao's coffee outside of western mass too. I haven't tried the bake goods, but they sure look good! read more

Stopped in for a simple croissant. They were out (sad face). How can a pastry-based bakery be out of croissants by noon? Luckily, I saw some very appetizing sausage rolls by the register and bought one. A bit pricey but after getting home and warming it up, it was absolutely delicious. The service is very friendly but the place is tiny, so don't come for breakfast with a group like some patisseries. Overall I was very happy. Only deducted a star because I really wanted a good plain croissant that day. read more

Came here today because I was in the hood and Pigs Fly was closed due to Easter. Since I had walked to the area I decided to go to Blue Frog as I was looking for a morning baked good. The woman behind the counter was rude ....there was no one in there and she acted as if me asking about an item on the menu was a waste of her time. Baked good were underwhelming, but it was the service that stood out to me. I chocked it up to she is "overwhelmed" because she is open on Easter, but based on the reviews here this is how this place rolls. read more

Great little bakery off the main street of JP. Delicious bread and good looking selection of cakes, pastries, and morning carbs like muffins, etc. Reasonably priced, friendly service, and excellent COVID precautions! Worth a few steps off the beaten path! read more

Though I came in hoping to buy something for the next day's breakfast, I was treated so rudely here, I walked out without buying anything and won't return. I thought something was a muffin, but the young woman behind the counter barked, "That's a cake." It really didn't matter to me if it was a cake or a muffin, so I inquired what kind of berries were in it. She pointed to two identical looking items and said one was one kind of berry and the other was some other berry. She said this so quickly I couldn't follow, so I just said, "That one," pointing to one. "Which one?" she demanded, so I pointed again, and again said, "That one." "Which berry?" she insisted. I didn't know what kind of berry it was and I didn't care, I just knew I wanted that muffin/cake thing in front of me. But she insisted on my naming the berry. That was the point at which I walked out empty-handed. The baked goods are not outstanding and service is awful, so my business now goes elsewhere. read more

If you like pastry this is the place for you. The quality of their hand-made pastry is outstanding. I mean top notch, you will not be disappointed. Such a great local gem! read more

Went in here this morning. Got a really good cranberry egg tart, cinnamon roll, and coffee. The guy working was really nice. No room to hang out here but it's a nice little place to get food to go and I actually like that the pastries are limited. You don't need 50 options at every bakery. What I really like is that my coffee came ready to drink and not scalding hot like at some places. I factor this in heavily because it's just ridiculous that some cafes don't control the temperature and you either burn your tongue or have to wait 30 min to drink it, and yes it can be done. I go to some places that consistently give me coffee at the right temp. The drink fridge was almost empty, my only complaint. read more

I'm a little bit disappointed by this neighborhood bakery. Their chocolate cookies was dry, and blueberry and cherry custard tarts were okay. As a matter of the fact, it tasted better the next day when toasted. Maybe I am spoiled by other bakeries. read more

Blue Frog Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts

I came in to buy a croissant today at Oct 10 at 230PM and the person working at the bakery was literally the rudest person I have ever encountered. She not only rolled her eyes and sighed as I asked her what croissants were available, but literally said nothing as I paid and stormed off as if I had committed some grave injustice. She shouted at me about the receipt as I opened the door to leave. Unbelievable! I live in JP and have long supported local businesses, both this one and the other location (now closed) by Green Street. I won't EVER come back. This person, if memory serves me, has been rude to me before and it seems like her MO. Apparently the bakery is fine with employing her. read more

We were going to be in Jamaica Plain for an errand on the way to meet friends for dinner. Having told them we'd bring some sweet treats for dessert, I did a quick search to see if there were any good bakeries in the area and - voila! I found Blue Frog. My husband pulled over on the street and I ran in to get a quick selection. Quick is not the right word, as I could NOT decide!! Luckily, the girl who helped me was so friendly & patient - she even waited as I ran back out to the car to ask my husband's advice. I ended up getting a selection of 4 mini desserts. I think I did 1 chocolate cupcake; 2 custards/tarts - one blueberry & one cranberry; and 1 apple "bread pudding..." By the time we ate dessert, I was SO FULL, so I didn't taste everything, but the bread pudding was def my fav. And everyone was very happy. And it only came out to $14.34 (plus a $1 credit from LevelUp!). I will def be back to Blue Frog the next time I'm in the area and need something sweet. Or some bread, as it looked DELISH. read more

The best croissants this side of Paris. They sell out quickly so come early if you want your favorites!

Best croissants in Boston. Their bread is also absolutely delicious! Friendly staff, too!

Wasn't sure if I was alone in receiving curt reply to my one question when I bothered to visit in person, but I see I am not alone. Rude customer service has not been corrected it seems. I entered an empty shop for the first time and looked around. When I asked the cost of a muffin, I was told me to read a chalkboard list of prices to locate the cost of a muffin. I'll never know how much a muffin there costs, as I walked out. read more
