Awesome!! So much creative variety at 1 place!! Would recommend to anyone!! I grew up in Medford, MA and Vinal Bakery is certainly a nice addition to the surrounding areas. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!! read more

English muffins are amazing. Breakfast sandwiches!! Wow!! We walked over after Puppy Yoga (try that out!) not knowing what to expect. Nice little place on the corner. Seemed busy for early Sunday morning. Short wait. 3 of us. Mr Mustard : loved it. America Classic +Bacon. Looked great. She loved it. G.O.A.T.: he loved it. We got a buttered muffin to share. They do a great job with their muffins, which they make in house ! Nice crunch outside but soft chewy center. We bought a couple of 4 packs for home. They disappeared quickly so we ordered more online. Delivered a few days later and they were as good as what we got at the store. Make our own muffin sandwiches now. Just placed a second online order. Looking forward to going back.!! I want to try the meatloaf. Well done Vinal. read more

Two words: banana bread. Ok, a few more. Coffee is pretty good, breakfast sandwiches are reasonably priced, and the best part about picking up online orders is the outdoor window, so I can swing by with my dogs, who are often offered housemade treats by the friendly staff. read more

I got the G.O.A.T. and chocolate chip cookie - TASTE: 4/5 - enjoyed the sandwich's goat cheese butter and pesto, plus the sweet cookie. Would come back to try their whole breakfast sandwich menu TEXTURE: 5/5 - the crisp, toasted English muffin and over medium egg were satisfying. I'm also a cookie snob lol, and wasn't expecting to like such a thin cookie, but it really delivered! Soft and chewy still PRICE: 5/5 - $7 sandwich and $2.50 cookie, I was shocked lol, a steal! SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - satisfied me for a light brunch, wish the sandwich was twice the size haha SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at 11:30am on a Sunday and the space was packed! The employee at the counter was helpful, and my order was ready in 5min ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - small and tight space, so will be difficult for groups. Got a solo seat at the window counter PARKING: 4/5 - got street parking on Merriam St across the street read more

If you think you know English muffins, Vinal Bakery will make you rethink everything. My daughter has been talking about this spot since she moved to MA and now I get why- this place turns two simple pieces of dough into a full-on WOW moment. I went with The GOAT combo with spicy pesto butter, creamy goat cheese and a perfectly medium-runny egg. Unreal. While my daughter went for a Beyond Meat sausage and cheddar sandwich. Even though I didn't try hers, we could both say every bite of our sandwiches was magical, rich and full of deliciousness. But the real, real, real show-stealer is Vinal's hot chocolate made with Valhrona chocolate chunks. The result is this silky, rich cup that honestly deserves way more hype than it gets. It's freaking comfort in a mug- especially for me as a non-coffee drinker. Vinal is airy, clean and has plenty of space to sit. Owners are fantastic, warm, welcoming and passionate about what they're serving in Somerville, MA. read more

One of the best Boston area bakeries I have come across. I particularly love their breakfast sandwiches (one of the very few places that can compete with Sunny Girl in my breakfast sandwich-loving heart). They offer a range of house made English muffins - including unique flavors like pumpernickel and French toast - that are perfectly soft and chewy - as well as excellent, fluffy biscuits. Their maple butter, which is an option with many of the sandwiches, takes everything up another notch by adding a touch of sweet to the savory/salty egg and cheese mix. read more

I had been dying to try this spot for the longest time, and I must say it DEFINITELY lives up to the hype! These english muffins are unreal, genuinely some of the best in the area, and frankly some of the best you might ever have. They're large without being heavy and they have a perfectly crispy exterior with a fluffy inside that stands up well and holds its own depth of flavor alongside the sandwich fillings. Although it's a little pricey, you're paying for a high quality and satisfying meal that's incredibly unique, so for that reason I cannot recommend this spot enough, even if you have to make a little trip to get there. The space is tight and a little crowded, making this a good to-go option, but the service is relatively quick and everything is made fresh, so if you can find a table there it's a nice friendly and energizing environment to be in. All in all, I will certainly be back to try their various sandwich combos and to continue being surprised and delighted by their seasonal menu offerings. I love this spot, and it's now certainly on my list of favs for a great breakfast sandwich! read more

I've been coming to this little bakery for awhile now, I always get the same breakfast sandwich ( goat) never been disappointed, for a breakfast sandwich ( English muffin) all their breakfast sandwich's are made on English muffins, you can even choose which muffin you like an iced-coffee and breakfast sandwich under $ 15.-, good deal read more

Vinal Bakery is the local king of breakfast sandwiches in my opinion. Their English muffins set the standard for all English muffins to follow. Food: The sausage, egg, and cheese was incredible. The salty sausage patty was perfect with the fluffy English muffin and the creamy egg and cheese. It was the complete package and it really filled me up. We also got some lattes that were great compliments to the great food. Service: Staff were kind and super fast with the order! Atmosphere: The dining space is on the smaller side but the simple colors and the wall decor helps to make it cozy for a quick sit down visit. read more

Many friends had recommended Vinal Bakery to me because I LOVE breakfast sandwiches and I finally made a visit which did not disappoint. The cafe itself is small but there's some seating inside and meter parking along the street. I ordered a coffee and a breakfast sandwiches that were both amazing!! - Cardamom Caramel Latte 10/10 - Ham Jamboree 10/10 I was so indecisive with the breakfast sandwiches so I will definitely be back to try more! I will say, the Ham Jamboree was the perfect combo of sweet and savory :) The Brie, ham, and red pepper jelly are a flawless combo! read more

One of the best English muffins and breakfast sandwiches ive ever had. The miss maple is such a perfect balance of sweet and savory. Would recommend adding sausage like I did for a protein element. The french toast English muffins are scrumptious. Minimal seating inside but service was actually so fast for a line out the door. read more

I had such a nice experience at Vinal! First off, service was great. You order at the counter and the woman who took my order was kind and patient with me when it took me a minute to decide what I wanted. All the employees seemed to genuinely enjoy their work. I came right at 8 on a Sunday and there was no line. It did get progressively busier the longer I stayed, but there were always at least a couple open seats. It seems most people order to go. The cafe has a very cozy, homey atmosphere. There's a community crossword, which I thought was a nice touch. I ordered the Sam I Am (sautéed greens, egg, dijonnaise) on a multigrain English muffin. It was delicious! The English muffin itself was crunchy on the outside but airy and soft inside. The dijonnaise added a lot of flavor to what could have been a bland sandwich. The only thing I didn't love was the drip coffee I ordered. Too bitter for my taste. That being said, I will definitely be back to try more of their menu! read more

We went to Vinal Bakery early morning on a Sunday. Although it was still early, it was already quite busy inside. I ordered the Sausage McVinal and Chocolate Chip Cookie. The English muffin was fluffy and nice. The Sausage McVinal had a nice kick to it due to the spicy mayo. It was quite a satisfying sandwich. The chocolate chip cookie was also really good. It was on the thinner side, but it was not dry at all. It had a nice chewy texture making it enjoyable. Overall, I would come back again for a quick bite. read more

Flavors - 3.8/5 Textures - 4/5 Presentation - 4/5 Value for Money - 3.5/5 Great english muffins with interesting flavors. The prices are fair for the portion, although I would prefer 2 eggs instead of 1. The GOAT was my favorite with the addition of bacon - loved the slightly spicy pesto in there. The Miss Maple is also good if you are looking for more pancake vibes. My biggest problem is that my egg was very overcooked. There's a line on the weekends and maybe a 10 min way after ordering! read more

I came here on a nice and warm Saturday morning with a group of friends. The shop had a cute vibe to it, but seating was a bit limited. While it wasn't completely packed, it was still tricky to find a spot to sit. One thing I found really cool was the side window where you could order and pick up, perfect if you're on the move. The staff was kind and attentive. And there's a self-serve water station, which was a nice touch as well. I went for the GOAT breakfast sandwich with a jalapeno corn English muffin. It had an egg with spicy pesto and goat cheese. Initially, I didn't expect much because this shop is kind of tucket away from the rest of Union Square, but this was honestly a very good breakfast sandwich. It offered a really unique flavor profile compared to a typical bacon, egg, and cheese. My spice tolerance is pretty good, so I didn't find it unbearable, but I didn't appreciate the small kick that the sandwich had. Overall, it's a great spot for a quicker breakfast/brunch if you don't want to do a sit down experience. I would definitely come here again to try out some more items. read more

Best breakfast sandwiches in the area! We went around 8am on a Saturday morning and they were packed. Would recommend ordering for pickup online ahead of time. The Sausage McVinal and biscuit with maple butter were absolutely delightful. The Sausage McVinal (English muffin with an over medium egg, cheddar cheese, turkey sausage, spicy mayo) was a harmonious blend of savory and spicy flavors, with the turkey sausage adding a lighter twist compared to traditional pork. The biscuit was fluffy and buttery, perfectly complemented by the sweet and salty maple butter that adorned it. Despite the crowd, the service was efficient and the staff were friendly. They have a cute side window where you can pick up online orders. If you're in the area and craving a delicious breakfast sandwich experience, this restaurant is a must-visit! read more

My new breakfast obsession! Came to Vinal Bakery and got the Sausage McVinal on the Portuguese Muffin (suggested by the girl working there), it was a new flavour for May. It was sooo good! One of the best breakfast sandwhiches I have had in a long while. The spicy mayo went so well with the turkey sausage! Service was quick even though they were very busy. You can also buy the pack of their muffins, which I will do next time so I have my own stock at home! Definitely will be back! read more

I don't remember exactly why Vinal Bakery ended up on my list of places to visit, but making the treacherous journey all the way up to Somerville from Boston was worth it (or at least that's what I told myself after waiting in line). We came on a Saturday morning, and despite it being packed, the crowds came and went, so by the time our food was ready, we were able to snag a table. The space itself is pretty cramped though, so I wouldn't recommend coming in a group if you want to sit down. They do have benches outside though, for when the weather isn't so bad. I got the Flora with ham, and a spicy chai latte. I don't know exactly why they call it spicy though, because it tasted like a regular old chai latte. The sandwich was good though, despite me not really being a breakfast sandwich person. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but if I'm ever in the area again I wouldn't be opposed. read more

My Husband and I ventured in as we have seen this place very busy but Saturday amazingly we walked in. The staff was so friendly, and we ordered two American Classic egg sandwiches and added bacon. I had mine on this unbelievable rosemary shallot biscuit as big as you can imagine. So flippin' delicious. I could only eat half it was so big. We also got a cranberry orange muffin that was still warm. I have had tried many muffins but this one was literally one of the best I have ever had. This place did not disappoint even a little!! Their coffee is great also!! read more

Excellent brunch meal here with friends. You have to go for the breakfast sandwiches. The fresh baked English muffins take it to the next level, along with other flourishes, and great combos of flavors. Noticed that they have specials. A couple of people in our party got a special sandwich- with egg and chorizo, on a special English muffin- potato chipotle. I imagine they were pleased- all the plates were empty. I got the Miss Maple- a maple butter cheddar and egg sandwich (love salty sweet) on the classic English muffin. They make the eggs medium, but you can request to have them made how you like. We also had a really good scone with lots of walnuts inside. The food is definitely made with care, including attention to all the ingredients. You can tell that they really like supporting local and are discerning (based on the jams, and products in the general store next door). read more

Hidden inside an unassuming cafe storefront in Somerville are perhaps the best breakfast sandwiches I've had in a while (indeed, these could give any NYC-deli sandwich a run for its money). The key here is the bread - they use Portuguese muffins, fluffy and chewy and a total flavor sponge. I went with the Flora (spicy hummus, pickled onions, dill cucumbers, arugula) on an oat sesame muffin and wolfed that thing down. Best part hands down was the muffin. I could have eaten it just on its own. I will say though, especially as someone who loves vegetarian sandwiches, that the meat options on the menu were far superior. Next time, I'd want to get the sausage or ham jamboree. The lady working the cashier was super friendly and patient as we were figuring out what to order/changing our minds. Some tables inside, a little cramped, and lots of benches outside. Parking: street options out front but we opted for the massive Target lot a few steps away. read more

Vinal bakery sells fancy English muffins. It's located on a corner- there's a take out window on the one side. Most people seem to order and leave but there are a free tables on the perimeter of the small bakery for sitting. Breakfast sandwiches are better than your typical BEC sandwich - I got the Miss Maple: egg, cheese, maple butter. I added turkey sausage too (and trust that THAT WAS THE MOVE)! The cardamon caramel latte was a nice drink for a rainy, chill day in May. We did end up getting a 4 pack to go but 2 breakfast sandwiches, 2 drinks and a 4pack to go was $60. Pretty steep. Very very enjoyable though. I'd be in trouble if vinal was in my neighborhood! read more

I'd say 4.5/5 but gets bumped up because the service was extremely friendly and enthusiastic and it met my very high expectations. I love Thomas and his English muffins but these are really in a different league. Exceptionally chewy and airy. Super moist and flavorful. Honestly a perfect bread for the sandwich. Held up incredibly to the rich garlic butter and egg. Usually don't like cheddar in a breakfast sandwich but its sharpness paired great with the salty butter. Two nitpicks: I wish the tomato played a larger role. The slices were small and thin -- I was hoping for more it to star. Also $10 for a pretty basic sandwich is a little steep. Highly recommend. The shop was a little small but would be a great spot for a relaxing cafe breakfast. read more

Great little breakfast spot! We came Sunday morning. Bit of a crowd but not crazy. Their speciality is English muffins with their twist of toppings. We got the GOAT and American Classic sandwiches.

To boot, they serve Tandem coffee, which is one of the leading roasters in the country. Will be coming back for more breakfasts! read more
