Hearth & Hug Bakery

There's another new bakery in town! Hearth and Hug opened Sep 2023 and occupies a stall toward the rear of Boston Public Market. Everything looked tempting and I ordered the ham and cheese croissant, which was huge and covered with an everything bagel spice mix (salt, poppy seeds, garlic). The outer crust golden brown and crispy, and the interior had that flaky butteriness that all croissant lovers crave. The ham was thinly sliced, the cheese had a moderately robust Gruyère like flavor. My only complaint was that the everything but the bagel seasoning overpowered the subtle croissant flavors--I'd recommend to the baker to offer an option without those spices. I look forward to ripping into their chocolate croissant next time!

An absolute gem in Boston. Delicious, fresh bread and pastries. The cookies are my favorite in the state of Massachusetts. The owner is very kind and attentive.

Hearth & Hug is a wonderful bakery that just opened up! I work nearby and have tried a few menu items and everything is delicious. Items rotate during the week and with seasonal ingredients and flavors. Some ingredients are sourced from other vendors in the Boston Public Market which I think is incredible! My favorite so far is the ham and cheese croissant, it has a nice flakiness, the ham and cheese are great quality, and I love the everything seasoning on top. If I ever see them in stock I grab one since they go quickly in the mornings! I also tried a blondie with an orange jelly/ marmalade (can't remember exactly but it was delicious!) The blondie was so rich and the orange added such a nice texture and brightness to the treat. I look forward to my next blondie and to see what fun ingredients are in it next! Their pretzels are also delicious! I had one with the everything seasoning and it adds such a nice touch to pretzel. They also have the option to add mustard! Lastly, I also tried a chocolate chip cookie. The cookie has a crispy edge with a very buttery, delicious center. The chocolate inside was super rich but it wasn't too overpowering. The cookie was super balanced and such a classic treat. The owner Natalie is absolutely wonderful. She is so nice and I enjoy chatting with her every time I'm there. I always look forward to trying new or returning favorites of mine and I can't wait to continue seeing this bakery thrive!

Amazing baked goods, the pretzels and sourdough bread are our favorites. The selection varies every week. The owner and baker loves to be creative and is so willing to answer any questions about ingredients of any product. She loves bringing us her fresh ideas. Get there early- my favs sell out by midday.
