I came back and ordered an almond croissant and an iced chai latte with almond milk, which they got correct this time. The almond croissant was great, and the perfect texture and amount of sweetness. Unfortunately it seems the hot version of the chai latte is much better, as the iced version was almost tasteless and super watery.The ambience is still really nice though so I'll give them another chance. I definitely won't order the chai again though.

I tried PRB with a friend recently. The interior is spacious and they have a nice display of pastries. Most of their offerings are sweet pastries. There is a small section of "savory pastries" which is basically just plain croissants with meats and cheese. Though I would've wanted to try a ham and cheese croissant, I didn't want to pay $10 for one, so I got a chocolate croissant instead.The chocolate croissant did not look very good and it didn't taste any better than it looked. It was not crispy at all, not particularly buttery, and the chocolate didn't taste great either. My friend got the pain suisse which was definitely better than the chocolate croissant -- the exterior was crisp and the interior was pretty tasty.I also got the chai latte which was pretty forgettable. It doesn't come with any sugar by default, and it seems like the only options for adding sugar are packets of sugar rather than liquid syrup, which would make it easier to mix in.Overall I really did not enjoy the chocolate croissant and I don't think it should be sold. I probably would not come back here again. I think you're much better off going to somewhere like Tatte or Flour for desserts.

Cute place with lots of seating indoor and outdoor. I got my regular iced vanilla latte and it tasted great. I would like it with a little less milk as a personal preference. I got my quintessential cafe go-to pain au chocolat but it was a little disappointing. Pastry was not flaky nor buttery, and there were just chunks of chocolate; maybe it would be better heated. Overall, a cute cafe with a nice ambiance and chill. -6.7/10- 7/10 for coffee

An adorable French cafe in Kendall Square! I went on a rainy Saturday afternoon with a friend to sit and chat, and it felt very cozy and comfortable. That said, even with the rain slowing down business, it was a bit tough to find 2 seats. Service was quick, and the pastries were so flaky and delicious without being overly sweet. There were some pistachio shells on the pistachio eclair though: /

Place was filled with fake plants, chairs don't match, 15 minutes after opening and it was filled to the brim. Meh food, better pastries, but should be MUCH better considering I just paid $8 for a single-serving fruit tart.$8 was a theme: fruit tart, blackberry lime tart, eclairs, coffee eclairs, other cakes and pastries. A cookie is $2.50 which is more reasonable. A $12 baguette caprese sandwich can feed 2 comfortably, which is nice. The burrata they use in it is great. No vegetarian sandwich available on a croissant? What happened to a measly egg and cheese (no ham)? They are all premade and available on display which allows for faster service. Also: the sandwich is wrapped in the middle and tied with string. No idea why since it probably wasn't going to fall apart without. The paper stuck to the sandwich and couldn't be removed. If only it was 11$ without being clothed for lunch!

A modern cafe with ample seating, sunlight, and outlets to get some work done. Make sure to try the pain suisse, which is kind of like a croissant (but less flaky and laminated) with custard and chocolate chips inside - it's delicious! I also tried the cookie croissant, which was too sweet for my liking but had good flavor and flaky texture regardless. I would skip the drinks though - both the coffee and matcha were subpar.

Came here to try the viral crookie (cookie croissant) and I liked it. They have some delicious looking pastries that I'd love to try. The cafe itself is pretty with floral decor and wasn't too busy on a Monday evening. Glad we came here!

A newish French bakery that opened up in Kendell Square. We came here on a Saturday morning and there was a small line of people before ordering, which allowed plenty of time to decide on which pastries to try. We decided to get an almond croissant, chocolate croissant, pear Danish, and a cinnamon bun. My favorite was the almond croissant, which was flakey, filled with almond paste, and topped with shaved almonds. The chocolate croissant was okay, but didn't exceed any expectations. I was slightly confused about the pear Danish because I didn't really taste any pear, but at least it was a flakey pastry. There is some seating where you can enjoy a cup of coffee with your party and catch up with friends. If I ever come back, I'd check out their other desserts or different pastries.

A wonderful addition to Kendall square! The bakery smells amazing as soon as you walk in and it is fun to see the staff making the goods in the back. There is a solid selection of breads, sandwiches, and pastries. The items are a bit pricey but the flavors are impeccable - would have liked some custard with the blueberry danish but otherwise it was extremely flaky with juicy and sweet berries. The pain suisse is a must try with crispy and buttery pastry, creamy vanilla custard, and melty chocolate chips! There are quite a few people doing work near the tables and there is a great vibe overall.

Fantastic croissants - the best I have tried in Boston thus far. A little pricey but we are in the city... The pain suisse was my absolute favorite I loved the custard inside and the melt chocolate. Amazing layers as well. Cappuccino was delicious as well and super cute latte art. Only downside was hard to find seating on a weekend morning.
