I cannot stress this enough. GET HERE EARLY. They are small batch right now and their stuff is FANTASTIC meaning people EAT IT UP. Everything I've had here has been fabulous. There is nothing like French lamination. Michette is on to something here! PS very nice staff and tasty cold brew read more

What a lovely little gem--so glad there's great coffee and breakfast treats within walking distance in East Somerville. Friendly, charming staff even when there's a line out the door (which there often is during peak times). Outstanding cold brew and espresso with their homemade syrups are a must-try. Especially their caramel! My favorite pastries are their ham and gruyere and lately I like the chorizo and onion even more. Stop by! read more

Came by here because of the reviews! Nice little bakery/cafe in Somerville. There's some seating outside. I got the almond croissant and it was just okay! I think there was a lack of almonds and it didn't have much crunch/flakiness on the outside. The matcha did not have any matcha flavor so I would not get again. The workers were really nice and quick with service. There's some street parking read more

The taste of burnt bread lingers. Sadly, the baguette I bought at 1pm on a Wednesday was not worth it. The entirety of the baguette is noticeably burnt(realized this late as I sneaked a bite in my driveway) so I sit wondering why the cashier even handed it to me. I also bought a chocolate chip cookie, on recommendation by the cashier, which turned out to be burnt on the bottom and purposely doughy on one side? ‍ I'm very disappointed and will neither return nor recommend the place to others. read more

Their pastries are New York level good and their coffee flavors are so unique! Service is super quick, but be warned this is a tiny place, so it's grab and go unless you're able to snag the two person table outside. read more

We drove across town for this place and it was well worth it! We got there before 9.30am on a Sunday and they were already sold out of a few items (including croissants), but we very much enjoyed the ones we tried. The Guava and Honey bacon danishes were amazing - super buttery and flaky, great mix of sweet/savory. The quiche was solid and the praline/orange marmalade cookie had a pretty unique flavor combo. It's quite a small space and I'm assuming the production is also small, so make sure to get there early! They also sell loaves of bread and coffee/tea beverages. If you love pastries, this place is worth checking out! read more

LOVE this place. I love all their baked goods, but their pan Suisse is my favorite. So soft, buttery, and fresh!

Nice spot in East Somerville, had a line out the door on a Saturday morning, no AC in the building and the staff wasn't overly cheerful nor rude, cortado was good and pasties were standard. Would go back and give us another go but probably get some bread next time. read more

You can tell this place is popular; we arrived to find there was already a line out the door. The entire place is very small, with little seating to accommodate everyone. The service was quick, but as I was waiting for my coffee, I felt there was no good place for me to stand without being in the way. For 10am on a weekend, I was surprised to find out half of their selection was already sold out, leaving us with little to choose from. Their pastries are relatively good. In general, their puff pastry dough lacked the flaky and crisp texture that is expected. The croissant was average; I probably wouldn't get it again. The other two, the fig and bacon pastries, were better, but again missed the mark when it came down to texture. I almost found them to be a little dry. The chocolate chip cookie, on the other hand, was exceptional and I would come back solely for that. One thing I found disappointing was their coffee. I dislike getting American-sized cappuccinos, because they often have a more watered down flavor. I was expecting that since this was advertised as a French bakery, their coffees would be the traditional size, but I was wrong. It didn't taste very good and I probably would not get it again. The prices were all very reasonable, especially for the area. I would come here again, but make sure to be one of the first people in the door to get good pickings. read more

I went to a farmer's market and stumbled upon their baked goods. Boy, are they tasty! I had never heard of them before or been to their store. Of course, it's always good to buy local. Definitely worth checking out as they have both sweet & savory. Yet looking for more vegan options. read more

Incredible chocolate croissants like heaven flakiness and light and deep dark chocolate heaven

Every bite of the pastries from Michette reveals delicate layers and layers of buttery, flaky goodness. It's a true masterpiece of culinary craftsmanship. With the first bite, you're immediately met with a symphony of textures and flavors. The outer layer is perfectly warm and crisp. Whether you're in the mood for savory, sweet, or just plain simplicity, you cannot go wrong with whatever you decide. We enjoyed the chorizo gruyere and the guava cheese pastries. We arrived promptly at 12 pm on a Saturday and were lucky enough to snag a couple of pastries before the afternoon rush. Just 5 minutes after we arrived, the line was already forming out the door. read more

I was excited to try this new French Bakery in Somerville, so I rushed in the morning of a Wednesday around 8:30am. It was the opening time, and the staff was helpful and friendly. I waited an additional 5 min to get warm chocolate croissant that were baked in the oven. So i started with an iced coffee which taste great, a real espresso strong taste in it. Then i had a Rhubarb raspberry tarte, very delicate & delicious taste with pistachio and rosemary, and finally the warm chocolate croissant, so good that it reminded me of the ones i used to eat in my hometown in France! Excited to try more soon! read more

Outstanding sourdough boulles and honest baguettes. Bought the odd croissant here and there, and they were quite decent. Only complaint is that even if you order and prepay online, you still have to wait, and that wait can be considerable in the mornings read more

Finally made it to Michette at 9:15 on a Saturday and they were already sold out of their first bake! Sadly I didn't get to try the canele, and the vegan toasted oat cookie was disappointing and underwhelming (it was supposed to be filled with praline and orange marmalade, but maybe they forgot in this batch because there was zero orange flavor and hazelnut praline was just on top which wiped off on the inside of the bag). I really liked the rosemary potato gruyere focaccia, and basque cheesecake, and the baguette was maybe the best I've had in Boston! The cold brew was just ok, but they had interesting latte flavor options (just wish they had Oatly). read more

I bought the chorizo Gruyère croissant and pistachio chocolate croissant. It was everything a croissant should be - so flakey and light and buttery. They don't skimp on the fillings either so good and savory. I couldn't even get a picture of the chorizo croissant because I ate it so fast. The barista was very friendly too. It's a small neighborhood bakery so don't plan on sitting inside as space is limited/not a wifi telework spot . BUT OH SO WORTH THE STOP! read more

The pastries here are always STUNNING and soooo delicious. I am from Namur, Belgium and honestly the quality, taste and freshness from Michette fully measures up to the pastries in my home country. I am so proud to have a boulangerie in Boston that I can bring my parents to. Definitely try the apricot pastry if you have the chance! read more

Amazing food and drinks. In my group we got a chocolate pistachio croissant, a guava cheese pastry, banana bread, a baguette, iced tea, and an iced London fog. The drinks were good, but the food was out of this world, especially the croissant and guava pastries. The baguette was one of the best I've had in this area, and I would absolutely go back. They were very welcoming and were kind enough to explain what was in many of the pastries. One thing we didn't realize from reviews is there's no place to sit inside, but there's a park close by so if the weather is nice it's a great picnic. read more

Best chocolate croissant I've ever had! And I lived in Montreal for 3 years. Almost didn't get coffee because of a review on here but I'm glad I did - the latte was excellent. Cute little place if somewhat out of the way, but I wouldn't mind making the trek! read more

Michette - Chocolate croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Such a nice bakery! The baguette was nice and crunchy and had a sour dough taste. The chocolate croissant was really good and I definitely recommend heating it up in the oven. I've been meaning to try this place out and I'm so glad I did. Everything looked so good. read more

I love how the French pastries look at the counter, but I have been disappointed a number of times over the last several months so I will give them a 3.5 star rating. I truly hope the owner examines the quality to make improvements. The flaky croissants, and there are a variety of them that use the same/similar dough, all have the same issue - a center that feels undercooked, soggy and very greasy. I have tried the plain croissant, the pain au chocolat, and the ham and cheese croissant. They all have the same issue. I really wonder why the owner isn't doing any quality control given that it feels like that it aspires to be a good French bakery. There are several places in Boston that do a better job, and it's very disappointing that Michette has not made any improvements on this for so many months since its opening. The ham and cheese sandwich was very good, and so was the pistachio cheesecake. The buckwheat cookie though, was just okay. It was way too sweet and it taste way too one-dimensional because the sweetness was overpowering. read more

True French bakery in Somerville. Finally!! I was so excited I got one of almost everything!! Delicious. The owner is so nice. And the shop is small and the lines can be long especially on the weekends. But go there, close your eyes and pretend you're in Paris!! read more

Recently tried three things and was impressed. One of the best croissants I've had. So flaky. So much butter. Fantastic seeded baguette. And a really solid chocolate chip cookie. The staff was also friendly. Of course, there was a line on a weekend morning, but it moved quickly. read more

This place has been on my places to try for over a year now, it was so disappointing I came in early to make sure Ii get everything fresh, croissants had zero crunch whatsoever, all bready, I literally squeezed them and not one flake, flavor also not great. There was a banana sesame pastry that consisted of raw dough, completely inedible. Every product that I bought that were made with a croissant dough was just a sad soggy mess read more

would highly recommend this place to family and friends. food is amazing and staff is very nice.

Cute little bakery with the best pain au chocolat outside of France! I will come back to try the canelé.

This is a real gem! An authentic French bakery. Incredible baguettes, croissants, sandwiches...and don't get me started on their Basque cheesecake. Omg...silky smooth deliciousness! Check them out. You won't regret it! read more

actually, a 4.5. great croissants -- best in the area. a lso love the oat cookie. i've been so looking forward to the pistachio-chocolate croissant -- it's always been sold out by the time i arrived. but, today i finally lucked out. sadly, i was disappointed. i was expecting chocolate and pistachios. but, there was also a pastry cream the obliterated both the flavor and the crisp lamination. sometime less really is more. but, i'll be back. read more

I was so excited to hear that a French bakery was opening up in East Somerville this year, and Michette definitely lives up to the hype! The kitchen is constantly turning out baked goods, so you are guaranteed to get fresh, hot croissants, focaccia, cookies, and cakes from a friendly local business. Looking forward to trying new menu items in the future :) read more

We've been ordering goodies from Thomas at Michette since last fall before their brick and mortar finally opened this spring. Their chocolate chip cookies are the best we've had-- crispy on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside, with just the right amount of sea salt and so much butter that I get slight notes of toffee. But these days, since the brick and mortar opened, we are all about the croissants! So flaky, chewy, and buttery. The type they'll have out seems to change based on the day (and maybe even time of day), but all of the croissants we've had: plain, chocolate (probably my favorite), and dark chocolate pistachio (my husband deemed it the best thing he's eaten in recent memory) have all been stellar. I would definitely recommend gettting there in the first hour or so of opening though -- the pastries are always the most delicious the sooner out of the oven. read more

Wonderful fresh pastries and friendly staff and owner. Lamination was lovely and their Guava Roll is delicious. Great spot in East Somerville not far from the Assembly Row and Sullivan Square orange line stations. Worth a trip. read more

I really wanted to like this place but they have a ton of work to do. They made several mistakes on my online orders. Every time I go in, whether ordering online or walking, the wait is always really really long. Their baked goods range from amazing to " why did I just pay $10 for this?". The prices for small coffee are also pretty expensive. They are a new business and I hope they do well and make adjustments. I gave them a few shots before I wrote this review. read more

Amazing!!!! Always something new and exciting coming fresh from the oven. Awesome quality, inventive items, friendly staff, and great coffee! read more

This is the best new addition to the neighborhood in a while! croissants and coffee are very good and so is the sourdough. Service was very friendly and helpful. Super small and has a European vibe. Wish I lived right next door! read more

Super lucky to have this new gem in the neighborhood. Amazing pastries (on par with the old Cafe Madeleine in Back Bay) and a nice ambience. Every time we go they have cooked up something new and I've yet to be disappointed! Hope Michette is here for years to come! read more

I so, so, so, wanted to love love love this. But who repeatedly goes to a french bakery an hour after it opens and finds that you cannot purchase a single croissant or chocolate croissant? No croissants? Ever? i can't keep going to have my heart broken. so it is only to la saison :( always want to support an artisan small business so i truly wish them the best. read more

Wonderful new small bakery in Somerville. Another one of those were the line out the door caught my eye. Things sell fast and slowly come out the ovens so either arrive early or make do with the limited options. Thankfully they had plenty of chocolate croissants when I got there. They were the real deal, flaky, and very fresh. I also bough some canelé which were also great. Will try more goodies the next time I'm in the neighborhood. read more

The baked goods are very good and I would highly recommend them, in particular the chocolate croissant, sourdough, raisin croissant and cinnamon bun. However, I will not be returning here ever again. On a Friday morning (holiday week between Christmas and New Years), it was not crowded but the server was disdainful and mean. Granted I am a middle aged woman of color with a kid and do not fit the white hipster profile of the server, I see no reason to receive such sub par service as a paying customer. He purposefully looked away while handing me my bag and appeared to be greatly inconvenienced to serve me. He was also annoyed that I asked for one more pastry to be added to my order. I felt unwelcome and ignored. If you're not a young white hipster, stay away. I drove here from Cambridge and will never return. read more

I ordered a slice of Banana Bread and it was completely raw in the center. The ambiance is nice and cashier was friendly, but my first item from there was just not so good.... read more

I had a ham and cheese sandwich and a coffee from here for lunch. Basic enough, but they get the little things right that elevate the sandwich. The ham is fresh, the cheese is sharp and flavorful, and the mustard is punchy. The coffee is tasty as well, much better than I expected. Overall a great lunch spot. read more
