Breadsong Bakery

All the baked goods are delicious. I tried a panini and it was the best! However, the man (not the owner) who sometimes works behind the front counter is very unfriendly and can be rude and annoying. He tries to get me to buy items I have no interest in and then gets annoyed and angry when I don’t purchase them. He almost makes me not want to go back there but the food is too good.

Cute tiny little spot on the corner in Auburndale. Good coffee, and my wife got the cinnamon muffin and that was very good. I got the chocolate brioche and it was so-​so. The owner who waited on us was nice but he was packing up for Memorial Day weekend so his mind was elsewhere

Called 48 hours in advance to order 24 cupcakes for my baby shower from Denver to pick them up when I landed in Boston and they came out amazing and just the way I had imagine them!
I did left them out overnight and wish I had waited till day of to pick them up. Frosting was a bit melty and the cupcake itself a little stale. Keep them refrigerated if not consuming right away.

I’ve been looking forward to visiting Breadsong Bakery ever since a friend enthusiastically lauded a day old almond croissant he once consumed. So I headed over one Saturday afternoon and was glad to see a single lone almond croissant sitting among the other pastries in this small corner shop.
However, my mood was slowly smothered by my experience. I had already made a number of selections when a regular who had been enjoying herself at the nearby table started up a conversation with me about how wonderful Breadsong was and took joy in pointing out her favorite items from among their offerings, which only added to my order. She mentioned how she loved that their sweets weren’t too sweet.
As we chatted, a couple entered and were assisted by a different staffer than the one who was in process of helping me. As they left, he chased them down, and my new friend happily announced to them that he just wanted to give them a little something extra, which proved true as he proceeded to pluck two items from the counter display and to hand them over to the couple in a paper bag.
My new buddy then told me how wonderful the breads were, and how they were being sold at a slight discount when purchasing multiple loaves since it was so near closing time on a Saturday and Breadsong does not open on Sundays. She confirmed this with the generous worker as the staff made preparations to close up the shop. He agreed, commenting that he would prefer to give them away than to let them go to waste.
So I was a bit surprised that as a first time patron who had obviously witnessed this exchange, and who was the only one there beside this most friendly regular, that I was allowed to leave without a little parting gift of my own once I had paid for my order. It made me feel special, in the saddest sense of the word.
I know, first world problems. And you’d be right.

I snacked on the lemon cookie and the chocolate rugallah the same afternoon. Their regular was right. These were not overly sweet, but were firm and tasty. However, I prefer my lemon to be more lemony, and my chocolate to be more rich.
The remainder of the pastries spent the night in the fridge after having lingered in the cool of the car trunk for several hours.
The almond croissant and quiche warmed up quite well in the toaster oven. What ought to be crisp, was crisp. The fillings were flavorful. I quite enjoyed both despite their day old status.
The Bulgarian butter rolls were sliced and toasted warm the day after that. Swirls of feta curds were found nestled in the tender dough. It was an interesting savory break of my fast.
Sunday’s breakfast items were clearly the winners of this bakery run, and worth 4 stars on their own.

Iced coffee, pastries, bread, sandwiches… everything is exceptional including the service. I really need to make an effort to come here more. I always walk out pleased.

Great sandwiches and salads, yummy fresh baked goods, and the staff is exceptional. I’ve always had great service from every employee who has waited on me; they all seem to take a lot of pride in their workplace. And service is super quick, too!

I stumbled in today waiting for my boyfriend off the T, and holy goodness. Best Italian sandwich I’ve ever had. It was on their homemade pepper bread, so it was a little messy to eat, but so worth it for the flavor. I ended up walking out with a whole bunch of bakery items too for weekend breakfasts. Very pleased I stumbled in here.

AMAZING. I’ve been going to Breadsong since I was a baby and now I’m 21 and it’s still just as wonderful. They’re bread is moist and perfect and their pastries are delectable.
One thing — I don’t understand why this is but they seem to be good at hiring the creepiest people to work at the front of the bakery. For example years ago a guy worked there with few social skills and NO there’s a guy there who harasses you every time to buy more when all you want is a freaking cookie.
Still the best bread & pastries ever though

Wonderful little corner bakery with a Guatemalan touch. Fresh cooked eggs and real ham on the breakfast sandwiches. Good coffee. Extensive array of pastries, cookies, bread and their own creations.

A really great neighborhood coffee shop and bakery. Their breakfast and lunch sandwiches are great and very reasonably priced. The staff works hard for the customers so the service is fast.
You can’t go wrong here.

An adorable corner shop in auburn perfect for a little snack. A good selection of baked goods (lemon bar and chocolate rughellla were delicious), plus teas, coffee both iced or hot. A couple small bistro tables inside with a couple countertop seats. On a good day there’s outside patio seats and a little fountain area nearby. Convenient walking distance to the neighborhood.

I live right next door to this bakery, and I love waking up every morning to the smell of freshly made bread and pastries wafting in the windows of my house! The staff (Rob, and the owner Rumyana, especially!) are always friendly and efficient, and I love their iced coffee. They actually make the ice cubes out of coffee so as the ice melts, your coffee gets stronger!
I would minus one star because their sandwiches are small for the price, but the bread is so fresh and tasty, that when i do order one, it’s worth it. They also have a wide selection of innovative, yummy baked goods (I love their chocolate croissants). One other (small) thing I appreciate is that they will take credit cards for any purchase (as any business is supposed to) which is a blessing for a college student like me who rarely carries cash.

Woww. So delicious and wide variety of sweet AND savory baked goodies. Perfect on a fall day :)
But what I really like is that this is a bakery where everything is really good but it also tastes like everything was actually made in their kitchen– Not pulled out of a freezer and baked in big quantities, like alot of «bakeries» in Boston. Such a good find!

I’m not sure how these folks stay in business. Maybe they sell a lot of coffee? The website says «new ownership.» Stopped by, after work, a month or two ago and was welcomed by routine maintenance work (vacuuming and the like) which should have been done after closing. None of the staff greeted me (I was the only customer there) and seemed nonplussed about my presence. Yes, the store was open and it was a regular hour. I bought two loaves of different sandwich bread which were mediocre at best. The store was well lit.

Breadsong is a great place to stop by and get a coffee and a bite to eat, and the day-​olds are always a great steal! I got coffee there fairly often for a while and always liked it. Their breakfast items are great. However, the thing that really gives this place 4 stars is their cupcakes.
Yep. I can’t think of a better carrot cake or Boston crème cupcake option. They’re really effing good and fresh. Definitely a great idea for a birthday present!

Really good cookies and coffee. (My life revolves around coffee and cookies) The bread is also good.
I think that breadsong is one of the prettiest bakeries in the area. The curved front the windows, lots of wood. You can see the bread being made, which is reasurring. I can see that the bread is fresh and that the kitchen is clean
It is next door to some nice shops.

Breadsong is great. I often grab a coffee here before catching the commuter rail train at the nearby station (Auburndale).

I love Breadsong! They have excellent (if not totally authentic) challah that usually sells out on Fridays. Their spinach and feta rolls are also delicious. I grew up near their store in Newton, but have discovered that they have a stall at the Friday farmer’s markets in Copley during the summer and fall; it’s well worth the trip in from Somerville to pick up some bread during the season.

I discovered Breadsong at the Dewey Square/​South Station farmers market that happens on Mondays & Wednesday. I’ve tried a few of their things. my favorite have been the pepper rolls (6 for $ 2.50) that are good for dipping oil & the molasses cookie that is chewy and a good on the go snack (like on the train going home). I have also tried their french bread rolls (also good for dipping oil) — the only thing I haven’t liked so far is the rice quesadilla! Check this place out at the Farmer’s markets!
