    Azuki Anpan
    Srinithi R.

    I have heard great things about this place and I wanted to check it out. I got the azuki anpan which is filled with red bean paste. It was very good and mildly sweet. The staff were really friendly. The cafe is mainly grab and go. I didn't see any tables or seats. I would definitely come back to check out the matcha and the salt and butter rolls.

    Exciting new bakery in Somerville that's a definite must try! I recently went to Komugi after hearing great reviews and it did not disappoint.There are so many delicious pastry options and I had a hard time picking which ones I wanted to try first. I got the curry pan, which was delicious and flavorful, and the matcha sunrise, which was light and crispy. You can also order from several different coffee options. The latte I ordered was perfect. Everyone is so nice and friendly in the store. It's a small space with no seating so be prepared to take your items to go. Even with no seating this place has such a bright and cheery vibe. Can't wait to visit again!

    Matcha sunrise
    Phoebe L.

    I went on a morning run and stopped by Komugi to check out some of the breads and pastries. Immediately I was greeted by the sweetest woman at the cashier and she explained what was in each of the buns I inquired about. Unfortunately, when I got there the curry pan was out and I had to come back in 40mins for the next batch. It was totally worth the wait though and I also got a matcha sunrise (essential a matcha melon pan). Both were soooo delicious and fluffy and not too sweet. Against my better judgement I inhaled both of them when I got home. Something about that Hokkaido flour made them super light and I didn't feel bloated or groggy even after eating both

    I saw the news about Komugi and it's been a bakery I've been meaning to try and it didn't disappoint! When you first enter, the space is very clean and you're greeted by the owner. It's a very small space and there's no tables or seating inside. The pastries that they sell are displayed near the register as well. Food: these are Japanese style breads and pastries so the bread is soft and the pastries are not too sweet. I bought a couple items and they were all very good. I also got a latte and it was a strong coffee. Personally, I like the chocolate emoji bread. The bread was very soft and fluffy and the filling had the right amount of sweetness. Location: there's no metered parking outside the bakery and if you're quick, the residential parking might be an option where you can double park quickly. Union station is very convenient and only a couple minutes away.

    Custard bun and Matcha sunrise
    Tianna D.

    My friend got me treats from here for my birthday and it was my first time trying them. I love custard buns and I love matcha. I liked both of them, I warmed them up at home to eat. The matcha sunrise is more like roll with the matcha sugar on top and the consistency of that topping makes it balanced since there's nothing in the middle. I will be visiting them myself soon!

    The only mistake I made when visiting was eating beforehand. I walked in for a delicious vanilla latte, but was tempted by the milk bread pastries like French toast and other goodies. We sampled a few and vowed to come back.

    Super excited to try Komugi and they didn't disappoint. The bread is soft, pillowy and everything you'd want in Japanese bread. They're continuously baking so there's always fresh items coming out and they have a good mix of classic and unique items that we don't see in Boston yet. The space is small and is best for take out. I came in a bit later (11:30am) and they were sold out of their donuts, cinnamon roll and filled buns so come early for a larger selection. The line moved on the slower side but they opened quite recently and are super busy so this wasn't too surprising. I waited about 20 minutes. The matcha sunrise was fantastic and I keep telling people about it because you can really taste the matcha. I also tried the everything salt and butter roll as I am so excited to see salt bread here in Boston. Good, buttery flavor that isn't too salty. I will definitely come back to try more, it's worth it!

    Sat morning selection
    Lena L.

    Came in around 9 on Sat hoping to beat the crowd and get a full selection and I was right! They are located right on a corner of a 5way intersection so it was hard to park in front of the store. My bf dropped me off and I went in to grab the goods. The bakery smelled amazing with fresh baked goods and they had a sample of everything salt butter roll at the counter. It was amazing!! I ended up getting a red bean salt butter roll and curry pan. I was warned that the curry pan is fresh out of the oven so very hot. Both were delicious and I will definitely come back for more bread!

    Interior/Inside: About the Bakery

    I stopped by Komugi and was pleasantly surprised by the friendly and warm service as soon as you enter. All the employees were extremely gracious and kind. This was definitely the highlight of the visit. I tried the cookie salt and butter roll and the matcha donut. Both were unique, fresh, and tasty. The cookie salt and butter roll had an excellent texture and flavor. I recommend trying it. The matcha donut was not too sweet and airy. FYI there is no seating inside.

    I found myself in the area and figured I'd pop by. The shop is small without any tables but I saw two girls sitting on the one of the many window ledges so that's an option. I ordered an iced matcha latte with oat milk and two pastries, the matcha sunrise and the cube anpan. I ate the matcha sunrise before I could take a good photo, but it was nice and light with a subtle matcha taste. The latte was excellent and had a strong matcha flavor, which I enjoyed. The matcha was a little pricey ($8.50 plus extra for alternative milk) but I'd definitely come back!

A few of the things we ordered blew me away, though I will say the price point for every dish was very steep (a tad incongruous with the atmosphere) and the portions not large. What I'd get again: 1. Toro nori bowl - fun to assemble on your own and a very, very generous amount of fatty tuna. We made the mistake of ordering this AND two orders of the toro temaki handrolls, not realizing we were going massively overboard with the fatty tuna. 2. Chicken wings - beautiful roasted soy sauce flavor. I could have eaten more of these. 3. Pork katsu - I'm not a pork fan but I loved the light crisp on this. 4. Cabbage salad - very crunchy and refreshing in the summer. What I'd skip: 1. The lobster roe pasta - not bad, especially with the lobster chunks, but nothing about the noodles themselves stood out and the primary flavor of the sauce was butter. For almost $50, this one missed the mark for me, especially since it's the restaurant's specialty dish. 2. Oyster mushrooms - my husband raved about this dish, while I found it too heavy on the salt and oil and needed a longer blot. 3. Black sesame ice cream sundae - meh for $14, just a large scoop of ice cream that you can find anywhere else and the toppings of red bean and strawberries didn't add much. The presentation was also a little sloppy, with all of the food pushed to just one side of the bowl. Parking: Very challenging, almost all permit only spots. If you go a bit further down the street in the opposite direction of Central, you'll find a cluster of meter spots that are free after 6pm.

We came around 4pm and luckily it wasn't too crowded, so we were able to get seated right away. I ordered the cold niku udon and overall it was really good! The noodles had a great chewy texture, the beef was flavorful, and everything tasted really fresh. We also tried the hot udon, which was really good too and definitely worth trying if you prefer something warm. Service was also super quick, which I appreciated. I will say I had pretty high expectations because of how hyped this place is, and personally I don't think it completely lived up to the hype for me. It was still a really good bowl of udon though, and I'm definitely glad I finally tried it. Would still recommend checking it out at least once!

My friend ordered the Spicy Cold Niku Udon that I did not taste since I don't handle spicy well. Honestly the udon did not take a while to come but the servers kept checking in on us, telling that our udon was coming out soon and apologizing for the wait. They made sure our water cups were never empty; I don't think my water went below 50%. The Hot Niku Udon was honestly one of the best udon's I'd ever have. There was as lot of beef. Noodles were soft. Soup was warm. Lots of scallions. I loved the addition of the crispy tempura batter. I want to come back.

The miso broth was not bad, but the miso flavor dominated the rich pork broth, so I got less of the pork flavor. The noodles were firm, but I was disappointed with the scant toppings. My bowl only had 1 thin fish cake, 3 bamboo strips, and few wood ear mushroom strings (1 star off). Even the pork piece was small, about the size of 3 bamboo strips. Most other ramen places I have been to include an abundance of toppings or even a soft-boiled egg. I guess the ramen bowl here could fill a craving, but not one I would go out of my way for. One annoying thing that happened with us is that our waiter gave us the runaround to get an advertised $1 discount with a student ID (1 star off). My son showed his student ID and then the waiter said we have to download their app too. I downloaded it, but then he said the app account needs to be in my son's name. I then changed the account to my son's name and showed him. Then the waiter said the email needs to be his school email address. Eh, nowhere on Earth does a *restaurant* marketing app requires a student's school email address. Then he started asking if my son goes to college or high school, and that he needs to clear with his manager if a high school ID is okay. At this point, it just seems like he was trying to make things extra difficult for us. He eventually said he got "permission" from his manager to apply the $1 discount for my son's high school ID. Good Lord -- this is not worth it at this point and left a negative impression about the establishment.
