PRB Boulangerie

Needed this in this neighborhood!I pop in for a baked treat and coffee on weekends and I love it. Perfect offerings for that corner and I'm grateful these guys joined the neighborhood

Yelpers, help me out, I'm really confused. I look at Tatte (take your pick, they're all the same) and I see 4 stars across the board. Then I look at this place, something actually different, and it's on par with Starbucks? Where's the baseline here, ya'll? Boulangerie is just plain good, and it offers something different from the endless assortment of Flours and Tattes. The pastries have always been impressive, the croissants actually flake and the pastries taste like they're doing damage to your life span, like they should.Their bread is also top-notch, which is nice because it means I don't have to go to Whole Bezos for stale Iggys loaves anymore.The spot is also really nice for working and having a coffee, their internet actually works and you don't have to fight hipsters for a seat (cough cough Broadsheet)5 stars because this place is new, unique and doesn't deserve the random shade Yelpers throw at it.

Just made my first visit and I'm wondering why I've never visited before; this place is wonderful, and for several reasons:- It's a rare city place with a parking lot- Even the street parking is easy- Plenty of seating, soft French music - Friendly staff - First croissant was warm!- Fresh stuff- Extensive selection without having so many that it's overkill- Some nice innovation but not cheap gimmickry aimed at the Instagram setAlmond Croissant: Gigantic, still warm, very crusty, very flaky, and a near-liquid almond filling that was in the mild side but naturally sweet rather than pumped up with additives. Good crunch to the bite, sending flaky shrapnel everywhere, but yielding to the tender center. Somewhat buttery.Chocolate croissant: Not as gigantic, but a steal at under $5. Not warm but very fresh, very flaky and delicate, cracking more intensely in the bite with even more shrapnel. Underneath, a very light and fluffy feel, along with a very buttery taste. Not greasy at all; just great flavor, and that's not even counting the dark chocolate, which was understated but effective. Pain au Raisin: Again flaky, but a bit (only a bit) on the dry side, even with the noticeably custardy notes. Good flavor to the dough. Minimal glaze if any. A rung or two lower on the impressiveness scale than the almond and chocolate croissants, but still solid.Blueberry Danish: Nice pastry, many layers, light, crisp and delicate, while still being soft and buttery. Good flavor to the dough and faintly glazed. Surprisingly, the crispness lasted well into the early evening, when tried as a take-home item. Lots of blueberries, fresh and not too fussed with, along with a bit of blueberry compote. No gimmicks, no bombast, just good stuff.Looking forward to a quick return. On my mental shopping list to encompass a few visits: chocolate almond croissant, chocolate chip cookie dough croissant (aka "cookie" and the only gimmicky item I saw), apricot danish, pear danish, pain suisse, and babka.

This place is reasonably priced, off the bus line, and delicious. The workers are friendly and speak French which is cool and makes it feel more legit. The interior is nice. There's Wi-Fi. No complaintsThe iced latte is just an iced latte nothing special. The bread is soooo good tho I'm a fan. I'm sad I didn't come here earlier b/c so cute.

Been wanting to give this place a try for a month after seeing gorgeous pictures of their pastries on instagram lately. I stopped by on a Sunday early morning right after they had opened and tried several items on display including a plain croissant, a pear danish, blueberry danish, and a valentine raspberry special bowtie. While the pastries looked pretty for instagram, they all needed a LOT more work. Everything here left me sad. There were no flakes, no crumble, and no crisp to the pastries (just soft, limp, sadness). The danishes here are also not cheap, with the blueberry danish being $8. According to the staff, all the danishes had come out fresh out of the oven JUST 30 minutes ago. Can only imagine how much more disappointing the pastries would've been for the people that came in after me. Save yourself a trip here and go to Michette, Lakon, Colette, Cremux Patisserie, SALT, or Little L instead if you're looking for a solid danish or croissant. Will not be back.

I passed by to try some morning coffee and viennoiserie. We had Almond chocolate croissant and Pain suisse with cappuccino, and we both enjoyed it. The pain suisse was crunchy and moist and taste amazing. The almond croissant was crunchy and rich in almond flavor, i did like them and remind me of my french hometown! The cherry on the top of the cake is you can find some french merchandise like BN biscuits and LULU that reminds me of my childhood! Definitely bought couples, and yes they are more expensive than in France but in the range of other local cookies!The place vibe is cute and relax with only couple of tables.I will comeBack to try their bread and quiches soon!

Cute bakery with yummy pastries in Somerville! The people at the front were really friendly and went through what was in all the pastries when I asked, which was great! The inside is spacious and seems like it would be a great space to hang out or get some work done. We got 3 pastries including a danish, croissant, and brioche, and they were on the pricier side. Also if you want more options definitely stop by earlier in the day!

A very solid place for pastries. Got a plain croissant and was pleasantly surprised. The inside was pretty light and buttery without being greasy. The outside had a bit of crisp and the flavour wasn't too sweet. I would have liked the shell to be more flaky and delicate and the inside a little lighter but a very solid croissant. The almond croissant is also very good and large. Plain was $4 and almond is $6 which is sort of a lot but also in line with most other places in Cambridge/Boston.

Awesome atmosphere and the pain au suisse was a can't miss! The ham and cheese sandwich on a croissant was good, but nothing special and the matcha latte was strong, but not particularly well mixed.

I came here on a rainy day. It was very empty. I got a pain au chocolat and a quiche since they didn't have soup past 3:30 PM. I was disappointed with the lamination of the viennoiserie. There was no crispness and it felt underbaked? But maybe things got soggy from the humidity that day. The flavor and texture of the veggie quiche were good, but I found it too salty. There were maybe like 2 other customers just on their laptops. I found it off-putting how the environment was quiet except for the hum of the refrigeration. Lastly, there was a leak that caused a big puddle on the bathroom floor. There was a ceiling tile that they popped out and just hung a rag to catch the drip. I saw a bunch of other rags drying on a clothes rack in their kitchen. The ambiance is not the best and it seems like the ceiling leak is a recurring problem that is not getting a permanent solution.
