Iggy's Bread

I love this place very much. All bread is really fresh and great and awesome. My son really love the jou-jou(pastry with sesame seed), nuts cookie, ham cheese bread, Parmesan cheese stick, twist pastry and etc…

Discovering Iggy's Bread was a delightful surprise. Initially familiar with their baguettes from grocery stores, I recently took a visit to their store, which doubled as a manufacturing facility. The space was charming and inviting, with everything priced quite reasonably. I got a few of their sandwiches and pastries. Both the salmon bagel sandwich and the ham & egg sandwich were enjoyable. Their buns and bagels leaned more towards chewy side, but I liked them nonetheless. The pastries, however, were much better than I expected. Each one boasted a perfect level of flakiness and crispness, with the pecan sticky bun being my favorite. Unlike the typical sticky buns I've tasted around the city, this one had a unique, croissant-like base that made it exceptionally memorable.

I stopped in for lunch today and grabbed 2 slices of giant fantastic pizzas. I had the spicy chorizo and vegan garlic oregano. The pizza is top notch I just can’t give it 5⭐️ because it’s cold pizza. The crust and everything still tastes great cold, but if they could serve it at least a bit warm it would be really be top notch.

Best bakery we've been to in the Boston area. Everything we've tried has been excellent, but I highly recommend the ancient grain sourdough, the feta twist and the croissants. The prices are reasonable and the staff is always friendly.

Lots of great breads, etc., and the people are quite nice. I just wish that they would do a better job with their pizza. The seasoning is very weak, and it's generally served cold. It should not be that difficult to figure out a way to fix that. The dough is fine, some of the topping are a bit odd, and seem to favor novelty, over what might actually taste good. They are also the only place I know of that sells pizza by the slice and refuses to provide ANY condiments ( i.e. hot pepper, black pepper, grated cheese, oil, etc. ). I have pointed out that they offer milk, sugar, etc., if you purchase their coffee, and having these items available for pizza, would be similar, but when I have mentioned this I just receive a blank look.

It’s such a joy to have our favourite bakery from Melbourne available here in Boston. The bread is very good.

Best croissants around, granola is great. Pizza is fantastic and so are the vegetarian/vegan sandwiches. Definitely a go to spot for baked goods.

This bakery is amazing! Super high quality and the croissants are authentic (lots of American bakeries fail in this regard, so I had to point out Iggy’s success)

The best run place in the Boston area. Spotlessly clean. All the bread is amazing and service prompt and courteous. It is like entering a precious and spotless lab.

Best bread ever. I don't eat bread anymore because of dietary sensitivities, but when I risk it, I only risk it for iggy's. They have a great selection of all types of bread, and it's always fresh. I used to always get their cranberry loaf, they'd slice it up for me, and I'd freeze it when I'd get home - toasting it up whenever I craved it. Amazing stuff right there. Now days, when I go it's for pastries. Cookies are hearty and not too sweet. Croissants are super flaky. My friends say good things about the flatbreads. They also have George Howell coffee that's self-serve. They accept credit card. Please note, it's a grab & go place, there's no place to sit down. The location is in a very random part of Cambridge, looks like you're in an industrial area, even though there's shopping plazas a street away! It's also right next to an abandoned train, which I loved. When I first moved to Boston from SF, I was so proud I found this place - high quality hipster vibes lol.

Nice space in a neighborhood that looks more industrial than commercial or residential. Easy lot parking. No indoor seating, unfortunately, but a nice aquarium glass view of the bakery in action and a long inviting display case of pastries, with breads and bagels in the back. Friendly service. Chocolate Croissant: Not warm. Instant crackle and surprisingly light and bready, with no sweetness in the dough; only in the chocolate. Good butteriness. Not among my favorites, but solid. Almond Croissant: Lots of onion bagel energy here, and not because it tastes like onion. It's that the almonds on top come in both full slivers and toasted mini pieces that feel like the toasted onion pieces on an onion bagel. Same crackle, same dough. Almond cream filling tasty but minimal. Raspberry Croissant: A different style here (see photo). Layered, crunchy, buttery dough, but a little dry. Raspberry filling looked light, but with the right bite there was a lot of it and high quality. Overall, good, though I've had better within this style. Jou Jou Bread: I think that's the name. Imagine the love child of a sesame bagel and a plain croissant, in a Dunkin Munchkin sized balls of bread. Crusty on the outside, fluffy and buttery inside. These were fresh, tasty, and felt great too. At 50 cents apiece and such great quality, I can imagine buying ten or so next time. Multi-Seed Bagel: Dark brown bagel densely topped (and bottomed) with organic flax seeds, organic sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and coarse sea salt. I didn't taste much of any salt, but the rest were in full force and the bagel had a great crust yielding to a softer interior. Great size, hand formed, tasty dough, good all around. A different experience from a Jewish bagel, but a pleasurable one. Note: They won't toast it and add cream cheese, but they do offer packaged cream cheese in their refrigerator for do-it-yourself application. French Roll: Fantastic. Crusty shell outside, light and fluffy inside, great flavor. A perfect 10. Chocolate Chip Cookie: Your choice of with or without salt; I chose without. Dark color to the dough, with chocolate present beyond the chips. But the chocolate was much more subtle here than at most bakeries and the texture was almost exactly like a cereal bar. Not bad, necessarily, but if it's not what you're looking for it probably won't hit the spot. Jam Cookie: Choice of jam and I went raspberry. The base was shortbread/macaroon-like; very moist, fresh, soft, flexible, and bringing its own flavor in addition to the jam, which was also great. Very enjoyable. Summary: You probably noticed a trend of sweet items decent, bread items great. Much of it comes down to personal preferences and expectations, but I'm sticking with that. I know I'll definitely be back.

We love Iggy's! Favorites have been the sesame bagel, and with smoked salmon (if you can get one before they are sold out.), croissants, cookies, & baguette! Staff is always welcoming and friendly.

My friend and I arrived at Iggy's Bread on a Saturday morning. The service is very fast, which makes it fast and convenient if you want to stop by for some bread and pastries. They also have a parking lot for customers. I decided to try the almond croissant and sticky bun. The almond croissant was amazing. It was flaky on the inside but crispy on the outside. I was a bit sad to find that part of the almond filling had fallen out of the croissant and into the bag, but the flavoring was top-notch. The sticky bun looked amazing presentation wise, but the taste was not as impactful. Personally, I do not like my pastries to be too sweet, but I would appreciate a bit more sweetness from the bun. It tasted light and not as overwhelming as it looks. What I really did enjoy was the generous number of chopped pecans scattered on top of the bun. It was fluffy and nice, but I wish it was sweeter and then it would be perfect. I did try my friend's croissants such as the chocolate and ham & cheese one. The chocolate one was not bad as I really enjoyed the rich chocolate inside the croissant. Unfortunately, the ham & cheese croissant was a bit too salty. It got a bit tiring to eat it over time. overall, my favorite would be the almond croissant. They had plenty of other pastries and sandwiches I would be happy to come back to try.

I love their breads! My favorites are the sourdough boulle, cranberry, feta twist, and caprese sandwich. Wish they had better desserts. The jam cookies are yummy.

The croissants are incredible, wonderfully crisp and layered. The other baked goods were good, but not as stand out: the feta cheese twist was the one I liked least, being a little overly salty and not as flavorful. The kale and artichoke pizza tasted great and had a decent crust, but was really oily; maybe the other pizzas don't suffer from that problem? I liked the tomato and mozzarella sandwich, but it wasn't anything special. Their bread is great! It's definitely the type that's a bit tough in the crust, but I enjoy that chewiness. Definitely worth a visit if you're even vaguely in the area. You can also go to nearby Fresh Pond and picnic with the baked goods, which I would highly recommend.

Fantastic sourdough, delicious spreads, and earth-conscious packaging. The pecan crescent cookies were so delicious and the jou jous were flaky and fun. No place to sit, so we grabbed our bites and ate outside and went to fresh pond. Definitely recommend!

A local friend introduced me to this place in Cambridge since I'm obsessed with croissants, and I kid you not, but these are one of the best croissants I've eaten in the Northeast. I would rank them as the same level as Aristicaut in SF (if you've been). The store front is small, located in a warehouse-looking building. You can purchase bakery in the store front and the back is a large warehouse/kitchen where they make the pastries fresh. The line goes pretty fast as service is quick, so expect a 5ishmin in-and-out service! I got the Ham and Cheese croissant ($5.50) for breakfast, which came out fresh and warm from the oven. The pastry is buttery but light, very flakey, and crunchy. There's also this slight sourdough taste at the end. The ham and cheese went well together, as the slab of cheese was soft and warm. It was sooo good that I went back again the next day to stock up on croissants ($4 each) for the Amtrak back home and to retoast for breakfast the next morning.

Tucked away in a random industrial park near Fresh Pond is one hell of a bakery. Follow the line of cars/cyclists snaking in and look for a low brown building with a small lot in front. They have the best almond croissant I've ever tried. The layers give in beautifully as you bite down and the filling is thick without being too sugary. Size-wise, it's a little smaller than other versions, but it was enough to make me want to try the ham and cheese, feta, chocolate, and plain versions. You also can't leave without getting at least one loaf of bread. I got the raisin pecan and ancient grain - really look forward to toast with some butter and jam. Iggy's also sells granola, croutons, and a small rotation of sandwiches that I'll have to get next time. I spied a few different kinds of flatbreads (cheese, pesto) and cookies (chocolate chip, oatmeal, thumbprint) too. Basically had my eye on everything in the store, including the pepperoni twist. In case you can't make it out to Cambridge: a bunch of Whole Foods carries Iggy sourdough loaves. People working behind the counter are super friendly and warm, even on a bustling Saturday morning. The line moves quickly so don't be intimidated. The guy in front of me was showing off pictures of his newborn grandchild to everyone and it was incredibly wholesome.

Iggy's is a hidden gym in the fresh pond area. They offer fresh bread and pastries that are excellent! You can find their products at local grocery stores, but come try their bread fresh from the oven instead.

Thank you Iggy's for supporting the BHS All Night Party! Your bagels are delicious and your support & generosity were very much appreciated! Thank you!!

My recent visit to Iggy's Bakery at 1:30 PM left much to be desired. As I walked in, I was greeted by nearly empty shelves and a surprising sight - six staff members idly standing behind the counter. While their demeanor was friendly, the lack of essential bakery items like bread, buns, or croissants at this hour was truly unexpected for an establishment of this caliber. What struck me was the missed opportunity for customers who, like myself, visit in the mid-afternoon. As someone who has lived in multiple countries and traveled extensively, I've never encountered such a stark lack of inventory in a bakery during regular business hours. It's common sense that a bakery should cater to customers throughout the day, not just during the early hours. Despite the undeniable quality of their products and the amiable service, the absence of stock during peak afternoon hours was immensely disappointing. It's a shame that a bakery with such potential fails to consider the needs of those who come home from work later and would relish the chance to enjoy fresh, baked goods at that time. I hope this review serves as constructive feedback for Iggy's Bakery. They have the essentials of a great bakery--tasty products and friendly staff. However, reconsidering their inventory management strategies to ensure a consistent supply of goods throughout the day could significantly enhance the customer experience.

I love the Iggy's retail location. Their breads and pastries are dynamite! Some of my favs include the pecan sticky bun, their croissants, and their bagels. They offer pizza too. I haven't tried it but the pizzas all look awesome. You can get a small selection of Iggy's baked goods at a lot of stores/farmers' markets but I prefer to go to the retail location as they have the full range of their baked goods and the pizza. Everything is top quality and delicious.

Iggys is a bomb bakery. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. There's always a line but it moves fast. Parking is plentiful. My personal favorites are their pecan crescent cookies (imagine a pecan pie turned into a cookie, but not too sweet), their mini sticky buns (it's tied with Flour as my favorite sticky bun in Boston), and any of their foccacias. I like their jam cookies but the pecan one is still my favorite. I've had their baguettes and sourdough and liked them both. They also sell other cool things like pizza dough, croutons, and sandwiches.

Ordered the sticky bun and a walnut roll with goat cheese. They put a heathy slice of goat cheese in the roll which I appreciated. The sticky bun was okay-- I would have preferred it sweeter. The line moved quickly and the servers were friendly.

One of the best croissants I've had outside of France!!! Worth a trip to Fresh Pond. The owners are delightful people which makes it even better!

I'm downgrading my review due to prices. The cranberry bread is so good but now so ridiculously expensive at something like $8 I can no longer recommend. I'm still a sucker for their pizzas but those too are up to $5 a slice. The bread is just so good but I really find it hard to go back except for special occasions. I get because inflation, but it's too much.

Everything is delicious and the folks are nice. It's a nice chill stop on your weekend errand run.

One of the best bakeries I've ever been to. Went for lunch while at fencing tournament nearby and was amazed at the incredible bread smell in the air. Chose the speck and brie baguette and it was DELICIOUS. If I lived in Cambridge I'd weigh 500 lbs from visiting this place every day.

Hidden gem! Awesome placed tucked away from the highway and apartment buildings but it was very good! We stopped in to get some stuff for breakfast/lunch and didn't know what to expect. We loved it. There was a variety of bread and pastries. We got the pepperoni and feta twist, potato and leek bread, and an almond croissant (quite a mix). Everything was very tasty! The bread was fresh and delicious. It was pretty busy when we got there but the staff is super quick and helpful. The prices are also very reasonable. Definitely deserves the five stars! Go check it out.

I live 50 miles away, and have a friend bring me Iggy's bread when ever he is headed my way. I know of no better bread in Massachusetts. However, bagles are another story. They have the wrong taste, wrong size, and wrong consistency. Others may like these things, but anyone who knows what a real bagle is would never call them bagles.

Incredible baked goods and sandwiches. Croissants particularly good. Terrible coffee - go elsewhere for that.

Had fresh out of the oven croissants from Iggy's this morning (1 ham and cheese, 1 plain, and 1 apricot) at opening around 715am Sunday morning and they were the best croissants that i've had so far in Massachusetts (i've tried many many different places around town). The croissants were perfectly layered, light, buttery, flaky, caramelized, and disintegrated right in my mouth. I am (still) drooling just thinking about it while writing this review 12 hours later. If you're looking for some of the best croissants in/around Boston, do yourself a favor and make a trip to Iggy's right at opening. I highly recommend this place.

A must try. All sorts of bread, plus pastries, sandwiches, pizzas. Everything is fresh and you can watch it being handmade. A line at the door, but service goes quickly.

Pretty yummy. Came in twice for ham and cheese croissant now, and then tried a lox-cream cheese bagel. They also have cold brew and will give you a cup that you then have to circle back and fill on your own. The set up is kind of weird. It's also kind of awkward to order because all the signs identifying the food are so small, and everyone is jumping around each other to order. So, food is good, but the set-up awkward.

I have been buying bread from Iggys for many years now. My kids have been raised on it. Their DNA is 27% Iggys sourdough mother. My family eats a Pullman loaf of sliced whole wheat sourdough bread every week. We can't live without it. It's hearty and fresh. The bagels are a bit too hard for my taste. I like the pizza options for an easy lunch, and have made my own flatbread pizza with the par baked doughs they sell. The cookies with jam in the center are delish with a cup of the iced oolong tea. 10/10 recommend (unless you have Celiac).

The pecan cranberry bread which I toast at home - so good. The almond croissants - so good (and gone by 1 or 2pm). The daily pizza slices - so good (and gone by 1 or 2pm). Their loaves of thin Ficelle bread - so good, as well as their French baguettes. The thumbprint cookies are great, too. This out of the way bakery tucked into an industrial neighborhood is worth weekly visits to stock up on excellent, fresh bread.

Still fresh, still excellent. I recommend the Ancient Grain and the Australian Francese, both crusty and flavorful. The brioches (I believe they contain egg) are a bit pricier but worthwhile to balance the other flavors available. The desserts are great too - they do a crumbly jam cookie, scattered with nuts on the outside rim. Also the croissants are fresh and have good fillings in them. Finally the sandwiches are yum - the vegan sandwich is a bit too 'hippy' for me but the mozzarella basil tomato sandwich is well worth the price.

Yum! Many people had recommended iggy's to me so I had to try it. Everything looked so good--it was hard to resist the big loaves of bread despite having a full loaf at home. They also have a nice covid setup--only 5 people in the store at a time, so it doesn't get too crowded. I got a chocolate croissant and it was exquisite. It was buttery, flaky, and not overly chocolatey. I'll have to return for a sandwich, because the sandwiches and other prepared foods smelled so good!

Iggys has the best bagels and breads! Their ham cookies are phenomenal as well. We love the pizzas for lunch on the weekends - go and get it early before they run out!

Used to get the caprese sandwiches all the time they made them on sourdough. Got it again recently and it's less than half the size and more expensive. It's a joke of a piece of bread, a soggy tomato was jammed in and a piece of cheese and the mustard sauce was barely perceptible. If we don't call places out for cutting the size of things in half and dropping quality you'll continue to see it happen everywhere. For iggys to go this route is depressing and pathetic

Their bread is so good, if it could be, the only thing I ate, it would. I love the general ambience of the place, the smell is so good. The first time I went in there I didn't know what bread to get and the customer service was so great there they instantly found bread that I would like.

Holy. Damn. Moly. Do you like bread? Go here. Do you like pizza? Go here. Do you like cookies? Go here. Anyone living in Cambridge should go here. At it to your grocery routine. Hit Trader Joe's and then pull in to pick up your bread. It's delicious. It smells great. The people are friendly. Just go here. 8 out of 5 stars.

There was nothing hardly left. You must go early. I know they open and close pretty early . It's smaller then I though it was

This area of Cambridge is up and coming, so its great to see a great establishment in the area. They have such great breads and pastries. All their croissants are fresh - I love the almond and chocolate ones. We also get the 7 grain bread, which stays soft for multiple days. Gets busy on the weekends so get there early. Free parking lot.

A-ok bread joint. We stopped in on a slow Saturday and found plenty of space in the parking lot. It was our first time here so we tried a bunch of different stuff. The best products were the ginger biscotti and the sour dough bread. The bagels were not good at all and the cream cheese that came with them was not pleasant and funky tasting. The apricot brioche were okay but stuck to the teeth so it wasn't the best eating experience. The iced tea was pretty good but it was weird to have to fetch your own ice on the other side of the room.

Iggy's Bread in Cambridge, is a fantastic bakery! All of their products are clean, with no artificial additives, preservatives or sweeteners---and believe me, you can taste the difference. I'm also very impressed with the chocolate chip cookies, made with cocoa, and the blueberry and raspberry jam cookies, made with almonds. You can truly taste each natural flavor, minus the tons of sugar and fructose heaped on you, everywhere else. I also found the people that work at the bakery, really respectful, helpful and nice. A special thanks to LUCA, who was absolutely incredible, and who went out of his way to help me, with patience (I asked a lot of questions about ingredients, etc.), sweetness, and most of all, product-knowledge! Thanks so much!

What a hidden gem. Yes, you will find Iggy's items pop up at restaurant's and gourmet grocery stores but the trip to this place is well worth it. Large counter showcases a variety of items from specialty flatbreads, sandwiches to cookies and more. Snagged some of their pecan crescents, cookies and an olive bread roll. Service was quick and friendly.

I been a regular customer for 5 years now. First and foremost, all sourdough breads you find in this world can be classified as either a) real/traditional (slow rise fermentation using traditional starter culture rather than instant yeast) or b) not real/traditional (modern fast rise having more instant yeast, and less or no starter culture). Iggy's sourdough bread and most of their breads that I get are real/traditional. The quality of the bread is also consistent. Is it my favorite whole grain sourdough in the world??? No... But it's real, good, consistent, fresh slow rise bread. Pastries- I am not a pastry expert, but their croissants taste as good as anyone's. More importantly I like the wide and constantly evolving selection of various croissant pastries, including the recent crossoint sticks. Delicious! Cookies- the chocolate cookies are great. As a parent and someone who has to closely watch his sugar intake for health reasons, these chocolate cookies are much nicer to eat than 99.9% of the other chocolate cookies on the market. I could go on. There is a surprise every other weekend, and occasionally there are some nice people at the counter.

*Review based solely on FOOD* Presentation: 4 Texture: 5 Flavor: 5 Would return? Yes Must-try: Pizza I loved this place! Ok so I'm a demanding eater, especially with bakery items, but I have to say these people know what they are doing. This review is during covid times so I went for pick-up and I don't even have a picture because I ate it in the car. I had to do a line outside, in the cold, for a long time, and even with all of that it was totally worth it. That also gave me time to stalk people coming out to see what they were getting and everyone had a slice of pizza, so I got 2 pizza slices and a Parisian baguette. - Cheese pizza: SO good! It looks so simple but when you try it it's like the perfect combination and amounts of cheese, sauce and dough. The secret to pizza is the sauce and this sauce is GREAT. I am also a fan of crispy dough and every bit of it was super crispy and tasty, so this definitely won my heart. - Nduja pizza: also very good, but not as good as the cheese one. This is a personal taste thing though, so not dogging points for that. - Baguette: Also perfect, the texture was amazing, freshly made, great taste. I gave them a 4 on the presentation because everything I bought was cold (I was expecting the pizzas at least to be hot) so that was disappointing. I wanted to try their sandwiches as well but they also seemed cold and were pre-made... not sure if they heat them up as requested at the counter. The presentation and layout of the food throughout the store are really great and I wanted to buy and try everything, will definitely come back! Non-Food Stuff: As I mentioned the line was huge so plan ahead. I was surprised by the number of food items people bought - everyone came out with a huge bag completely filled - impressive how they manage to produce so much in a day. The service was great and friendly. Coffee was terrible, very thin. Hope this helps! Z.

Can't support this place because of the terribly rude customer service. Came in with my 3 month old/3-pound puppy in a backpack, and the guy behind the counter immediately screamed "no dogs allowed" and then he had the audacity to tell me to tie my puppy outside if I want to order food inside. They could have offered to take my order outside

Maybe I ordered the wrong things but I was not really impressed. I was excited to see Iggy's at the Union Square Farmer's Market as their store location is a bit far from my home. They did have a huge selection of breads and pastries at their stand. I ordered a chocolate croissant to eat on the go while taking a brioche loaf home with me. The croissant was decent but not what I would expect from a bakery at the level of Iggy's compared to some coffee shop that sells croissants in addition to drinks. As another Yelper pointed out their brioche is not a true French brioche. It doesn't look like one as it looked more like a sandwich bread loaf. Appearances can be deceiving but as soon as I cut the loaf I could tell it was much drier than your usual soft and buttery brioche. It still somewhat tasted like a brioche but without the texture and freshness.

Huge fan of Iggy's! Their bakery ships bread out to many of the local supermarkets but their largest selection of baked goods is right here. I especially love their Parmesan Breadsticks, Sun-Dried Tomato Spread and pizza. The Sticky Buns and Raspberry cookies are super tasty as well. Pizza only sold midday (11-3ish). Come before 1:30pm if you want to make sure you get a slice, they finish making pizza for the day after that. We got to have Iggy's pizza once a week at my middle school and I've been coming here ever since. There are quite a few bakery options in Cambridge but Iggy's remains one of the best.

Iggy's offers fresh bakery goods daily. Get there early for raspberry croissants. My favorites: sliced multigrain bread, an unsliced ancient grain loaf, and an interesting variety of freshly made pizza slices or baguette sandwiches. No place to eat inside or out, can get very crowded around lunchtime or around 9am.

Stopped at Iggys for their croissant and multigrain bagel! Delicious pastries and you can tell the quality of ingredients was superb.

I am a regular client. Key points and recommendations are summarized below Positive: - very good quality. One of the best bread in the area. Their pizza dough is also good if you want to make your own pizza at home! - good physical distance norms given the environment Negative: - The experience as a client is not always great. I always feel rushed: as soon as I enter I am asked about my choice (dont even have time to look at the available items), and the employees are not always pleasant: it doesnt hurt to smile and be gentle when taking order (vs. acting like if it bothers you to have a client) - the menu is not consistent. For instance I noticed you dont offer pizzas anymore (instead a very heavy bread with some onions and tomatoes on top) My recommendation to the owner: - coach / train employees to increase customer experience - offer a more consistent menu: if you want customers to decide quickly as soon as they enter you also need to offer consistent options - explore in door delivery (i believe there is a real opportunity here) Hope this review helps for both clients and owner

Not sure why some haven't enjoyed Iggy's croissants. Maybe they aren't getting them directly from the Cambridge bakery? Maybe they've traveled too far (farmers' market? cafe?) and are too old? Whatever the case: I lived in France. And the pain chocolate from Iggy's is as good or better than the majority of the ones I ate outside of Paris. And they are as good as *many* of the croissants I ate in Paris. (NB: I think one of the reasons these pastries are so so good in France is that you'll never eat one more than 2 or 3 hours old.) The butter croissants at Iggy's are really nice, too, but I don't have frame of reference to compare these with their French counterparts. The only other local place that does these similar justice is Athan's in Brookline. I also love Iggy's Francese bread, and my partner is nuts about their cranberry pecan rolls. Lastly: you won't find a nicer bunch of bakers. If chocolate croissants are your thing, do yourself a favor and go get one!

Good quality bread but they've increased prices more than twice recently - 30% or more in their bakery outlet. Much more than any reasonable inflation. Having second thoughts about shopping there.

This place is worthy of a rap. But alas, owner Iggy Azalea's been so crazed since her latest album dropped that she hasn't had a second to spare. I keep telling her, the bread speaks for itself: Whenever we visit Boston, I try to make room in our freezer beforehand. Because I know that on our way back to NYC, we'll stop here to stock up on bread. It has become a tradition of sorts. Go-tos include the various Focaccias and the Olive Bread. This time around, we also got a duo of rustic looking pre-baked Pizza Crusts, that I'm sure will come in handy for an emergency dinner. If I had to pick a favorite, I think I'd go with the Cranberry-Pecan Pullman, which for the record, makes for an amazing Thanksgiving-inspired Turkey 'n Cheese Sandwich. I've spotted Iggy's Bread at Whole Paycheck... err... Foods in NYC. But, needless to say, it's pricier and they don't carry the same variety. So swinging by here is always a highlight of any Boston trip.
