    A must visit in the North End area. Nice shop off the road in a beautiful, though easy to miss, alley and into a basement where magic happens. We tried that Focaccia bread and Sfogliatella. Sfogliatella was great - crispy outside and soft tasty filling. Focaccia was great as well. Enjoyed both. They are cash only, so make sure to keep some if you're buying something from here. Definitely visit.

    Came here on a Saturday morning at 11am and was so happy to see they had plenty of sfogliatelles! Tried those, Nutella croissant and apricot jam croissant! All the pastries were great! So fresh and the fillings were amazing. The filling inside the sfogliatelle had an orange flavour to it! So so good! For $2.50, I will be back for more

    Best baked goods in the North End are found in the literal hole in the wall here at Bricco. Forget the long lines at Modern Pastry and follow your nose down a tiny alley way and into a basement where fresh baked croissants, danishes, and breads await. The Nutella croissant was a hit and you can't go wrong with the chewy baguette. The best part? 2 pastries and a loaf cost us a total of $9. You can't beat that! Cash only so make sure you hit up the atm. There are also 2 small tables for outdoor seating as well.

    I have seen this place on instagram so now that I was finally in the area I had to try it! You really do have to go in an alley but it's super cute, almost speakeasy esque. There are so many bread options - I went with the ciabatta but next time I want to try the olive loaf! It is cash only so definitely keep that in mind

    What a find!!!! Delicious and fresh and very nice guy at the counter. Would definitely recommend this joint

    Little hole in the wall sandwich shop. $12 sandwiches, a variety of options. Sandwiches are huge! Can easily split or eat just half. I got the chicken Parmesan and thought it was plain. Too much bread and not enough flavor. My husband liked the Italian. Wouldn't recommend or go back.

    Got some desserts, pizza, and some loafs of bread. Nothing wow'd me. All were average at best. Also - too pricey for what I got. Not in a rush to return.

    Did not realize that this "hidden" bakery and deli/sandwich shop would have some of my favorite eats during my recent Boston trip. The sign for the bakery is a little bit nondescript, but if you follow it down the alley, you will find not only the bakery, but another store selling pasta, cured meats, homemade mozzarella and ricotta, and sandwiches. We got a loaf of prosciutto and parmesan bread from the bakery as well as one of their sfogliatelles. At the deli next door, I bought a porchetta sandwich. We ate the sfogliatelle on this nice dining terrace outside the deli, and it was just as good, if not better, than Modern's (though it is a little smaller). It is the perfect amount of sweet, and the shattery pastry makes you feel like you're eating a croissant on steroids. Would wholeheartedly recommend. We did not get to the porchetta sandwich and bread until 6 hours or so later, when we returned to Southern California. They both held up decently, to my surprise. The sandwich was substantial enough to share between two people, though I think the bread-to-meat ratio could be tweaked a little (too much bread). The porchetta was nice and smoky with a tiny bit of fat, and the roasted peppers in the sandwich were a nice touch. I had never had prosciutto bread, and as a prosciutto lover, it was a dream. The bread is like a denser ciabatta with a bunch of prosciutto chunks and is infused with the umami tang of parmesan. It's even better toasted, too.

    Cute but small little hidden bakery! The bakers are polite and efficient in getting peoples orders And I tried the sfogliatella! It was a great $3 snack (cash needed!!) The crust layers were super crunchy in a slightly hard but satisfying way, and the inside had a nice soft and thick not too sweet filling The dusting of powdered sugar added a great extra hint of sweetness! Would come back to try the beautiful breads

    A well known deli in the Italian area of North Boston, with a very hard entrance to find, serving classic Italian cured meats and cheeses. We got to sample their prosciutto and provolone cheese, and both were very good. The provolone cheese had a lot of body, and some bite...did not taste like any other provolone we've had before. Would be great as a serving cheese in a charcuterie tray. The prosciutto was good, obviously cured with a lot of care. It doesn't take many people to fill up the place and make it hard to move around.

    I got both a sandwich ($12.95 I believe) and a pastry ($5 I believe). Pianini sandwich was flavorful and fresh and the pastry was soooooo crispy. The lemon filling was quite mild though. I typically like my lemon to have more of a zesty punch. Quick and easy service.

    A MUST when you find yourself in the North End in Boston. My friend who lives in the area showed us this place as he goes here frequently. I was a bit skeptical going to this place- it's tucked deep in a narrow alley and you definitely wouldn't think the best bread in Boston would be located here! But it totally is!! You then go down a couple flights of stairs and find yourself in the CUTEST bakery. There are tons of different kinds of bread everywhere. It was beautiful! The workers are so friendly and nice too. They make bread for local restaurants all around Boston. They are very humble! There were all different types of bread so I wasn't sure what to pick. I knew I wanted some type of Italian bread but they have all different kinds it was so cool. After some debate, we went with their prosciutto and parmesan bread and it was fantastic!! Definitely make your way here! My friend even said if you go early in the morning you may get yourself some freshly baked warm bread- def on my list next time I travel to this area! Check them out!

The bakery always feels busy in a good way, and everything in the display case looks amazing. My favorites are the apple turnover and the strawberry turnover. Both are excellent. The apple turnover is flaky and buttery with a great apple filling, while the strawberry turnover had a fresh flavor and a light, crispy pastry. Honestly, it was hard to pick a favorite between the two. The staff were friendly, and my order came out quickly even though there were a lot of people there. The café has a nice atmosphere, whether you're stopping in for coffee, meeting up with friends, or just grabbing something to go. There are a lot of great bakeries around Boston, but Tatte is one of the places I find myself returning to. I'd definitely recommend trying the turnovers if you're visiting for the first time.

The more it sat, the more I was able to taste it. And the mocha they use doesn't seem to be very chocolatey which I'm not a fan of. It's more on the bland side. Maybe it would be better iced but since it's cold outside I wanted something hot. The girl who took my order and made my latte was very nice and very kind. She had a really good vibe coming off her which I love. Five stars for her! So the mocha gets 3 stars, the girl who helped me gets five stars. I may get a cookie to go but haven't decided if I wanna spend $5.75 plus tax on a cookie. The mocha was $5.25 plus tax alone. And the cookies really aren't as big as people say they are. They do look good but I'm not sure if I wanna spend that much on a single cookie. Maybe I'll come back another day. Edit to say I did go back for a cookie. I got the dark chocolate peanut butter chip. The same girl helped me and this wonderful sweet girl gave me an extra cookie. Forget the five stars, she gets infinite stars. I hardly ever have people be that nice to me and she deserves all the recognition and thanks. Been in Boston for literally two hours and I'm already having the best day!!
