Third Cliff Bakery

Food: Love the pastries. My top favorite was kimchi cheddar croissant and family butter croissant. Kimchi was not strong- not expected, but it was so good and went well with cheddar. Butter croissant is really flakey and soft. They had a deep butter flavor and freshly made. Ham&cheese croissant was bit too salty for me. Drinks: Coconut latte& mocha was both strong and delicious. Atmosphere: friendly service and cute vibe. They had two-three seats for the parties.

Flavors - 4.2/5Textures - 4.5/5Presentation - 4/5Value for Money - 4/5Would return? YesChecked out this bakery that's basically a croissant haven--pastries and coffee vibes only, no sandwiches. They're all about that croissant game but sprinkle in some focaccia, cookies, and scones.Tried the hype-worthy kimchi-cheese croissants; tasty but got a bit too airy in the middle, giving it that soggy vibe. Still, these folks get flavor and know how to mix it up. The Thanksgiving croissants were like a whole feast in one crunchy bite, major win. And let's talk about the apple, cheddar, Aleppo pepper, and hot honey focaccia--pure genius, crispy and chewy dancing together. Despite a slight sogginess hiccup, this bakery knows how to sling some seriously creative pastries.

Lovely spot in JP that you can smell as you approach. I came on a rainy Friday right as they opened and by the time I left an hour later, it became busy, with lines firming throughout my time there.There are a few seats, but it seems like most people get their things to-go. I sat at a table near the back with a book, and was comfortable eating my pastries and sipping on my Rosie Palmer.I got the Lavender Kouign Amann and the Blueberry Hand Pie. I loved both their tastes and textures. I would definitely come back to try more of their selection.

I can't say enough good things about Third Cliff. They are among my top bakeries in Boston, for sure. They seem to be one of the only places that manages to be both really delicious and also so creative. The guava and cream cheese croissant is such a good idea and so delicious. I also love the cardamom morning bun, a nice twist on a classic morning bun. And of course the people who work here are so genuinely kind. Shoutout to Tom for bringing me some joy on a Sunday morning. I only wish there were more space inside to hang out and enjoy delicious baked goods- then it would be the perfect place.

I was excited to try their kimchi cheddar croissants and they were great! The savoriness of the kimchi paired so well with the cheddar, and the croissant itself was super flaky and buttery. I also tried their coconut coffee, which had a mix of both coconut cream and milk to give it an indulgent creaminess. Their staff were very friendly and happy to chat about their products. The space had great natural light and would be a great place to work for a few hours.

From the street looks like a standard bakery or storefront in any new construction building. Walk inside and you'll find a most pleasant surprise of unique baked goods and welcoming, friendly staff. We had heard from a friend the kimchi croissant was a signature offering of theirs. Don't be put off by the idea as ours was delicious! We also enjoyed a pain au Chocolat and a grapefruit olive oil cake. Paired with a delicious cold brew and it was an enjoyable Sunday snack. We do only wish they had more space for seating as there were few tables and people were not moving/turning them over when done.

Staff are very kind. It is a small shop. The food is good and has a couple gluten free options!

They have the best croissant! They have a variety of innovative flavors! It may sound weird but the combo of kimchi and croissant are perfect! It event has seaweed as topping! If you like sweet croissant, then the guava one is for you! The sweet and sour taste mix well with the savory and buttery taste of the croissant! You can't imagine how flaky the croissants are! I liked the crispy texture and how buttery they are!I will come back again for sure!

I have been living in the JP area for two years and people keep recommending this bakery so I finally walked this way and gave it a try. I would describe this as a very cute hipster coffee shop with a variety of pastries, but not breakfast food plates.I ordered a cappuccino with oat milk and an earl gray puff. The barista's take a good amount of time making a good cup of coffee! I really enjoyed my pastry and cappuccino.

What Third Cliff does well, they do REALLY well: The croissants and the coffee. The first time I came here, I asked for a recommendation due to a moment of feeling overwhelmed by the abundance of gorgeous pastries, and one of the very kind employees behind the counter told me the guava and cream cheese croissant was "life changing." I fullyyyy concur. The cookies, cakes, brownies, etc. are nothing to write home about. Their seasonal rhubarb-corn cake looked gorge, but fell flat. Bland, dry, and borderline artificial tasting. But let's go back to what they do well! The coffee is some of the best I've tasted in Boston. Incredible cortados and the coconut cold-brew blew my mind a little.So all in all, I'm a fan. You should absolutely go here, even if it's a little out of the way. But, like...how cool would it be if they could produce a life changing cookie?!? Sooo totally cool, dude.
