15 Essential Bakeries Around Boston
"Located in Jamaica Plain on the corner of Centre and Green Street, Blue Frog Bakery serves up some of the most raved-about eclairs, scones, and croissants in the neighborhood, as well as an impressive selection of breads. Chef and owner Brad Brown has operated the shop since 2004, and has become known to locals not only for supplying the neighborhood with outstanding pastries, but also for his leadership in the community. When the shop celebrated its 15th birthday in 2019, Brown was awarded with an honorary citation from both the City of Boston and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The shop doesn’t skimp on holiday items throughout the year, offering specialties like king cake during mardi gras, buche de noel and stollen at Christmas time, and tsoureki for Greek Easter. Blue Frog is worth a visit even when there’s a line out the door, and in the warmer months the customers can enjoy goodies on the patio. Stop in to try their weekend specials, or give them a call the next time you have a birthday coming up. The shop offers a selection of decadent decorated cakes and tarts, too." - Katie Draisen
