Although this place prob won't help you prep for bikini season, Bikeeny Caffe is a tasty, unique cafe near Malden Center! The small, European bikeeny pastries are what you need to get (are you surprised?). Loved the savory feta dill one, and the Nutella one was an obvious winner, with lots of sweet, creamy hazelnut spread within the minute pastry. The cinnamon bikeeny wasn't as satisfying as the other two since it didn't have a filling but rather a swirl of cinnamon, which meant it was pretty dry. Improved with a dip in your coffee though!
And speaking of coffee, Bikeeny offers a variety of "craft" lattes and other drinks. I tried the "mounds of joy" latte which I'm guessing is their riff on an almond-coconut concoction. Not sure if those were the exact flavors I was tasting, but it was yummy nonetheless! Partner got an iced chai that was spot on. In addition to the bikeenies, we also got a pesto caprese panini, that arrived about 10-15 minutes after ordering, and was fresh and satisfyingly filling.
We came in around noon on a Saturday, and it was packed! There were some people who were sitting with their laptops (one man was unnecessarily taking up a table and seats for 2), so I would suggest that they implement a rule saying no laptops during peak times in order to allow seating for customers who will be dining in. Fortunately, we were able to snag seats after awkwardly standing around for a while, but I think this customer experience could be improved.
If I find myself in Malden again, I'd definitely return to Bikeeny Caffe to get more of those yummy lil pastries paired with some great, affordable coffee!
