The 7 Best New Bakeries in and Around Boston | Eater Boston
"Cafe Pastel, the all-day cafe located inside luxury hotel Raffles, may not be as flashy as its nighttime siblings in the building — modern Portuguese restaurant Amar, sexy Italian spot La Padrona, tucked-away speakeasy the Blind Duck, and others — but it’s just as worthy of a stop for some outstanding food (and there’s no reservation needed). Amar’s executive pastry chef Sylvain Haage oversees Cafe Pastel’s lineup, which includes flaky croissants, scones, muffins, and bread alongside iconic Portuguese treats like pastel de nata and malasada, a fried dough that gets special treatment here with a light and airy sweet cream filling." - Nathan Tavares
