Inventive croissants, morning buns, and coffee, with vegan options

"Third Cliff Bakery started out as a pop-up cart (aka the “Third Cliff Trike”) at the Egleston Farmers Market in 2015. The bakery only opened in its sunny, permanent corner spot in Jamaica Plain in 2020, but has quickly established itself as a neighborhood staple. Third Cliff, which is owned by Meg Crowley, is known for its ever-changing menu and unique spins on classic French pastries such as the kimchi cheddar croissants and lavender kouign amann. They even have vegan laminated pastry offerings, like the orange and cardamom morning bun. The espresso drinks are exceptional." - Katie Draisen
"One of the best bakeries in Boston happens to be located in Jamaica Plain, too. Third Cliff is an excellent first stop in the morning for buttery ham and cheese croissants, orange and cardamom morning buns, and a creamy cappuccino to wash it all down." - Terrence Doyle

"A frequent recommendation on a Jamaica Plain food crawl, this bakery/pastry spot turned a vegan street corn croissant into a revelatory summer item: creamy and crispy, intensely corn-forward, with little pops of acid from diced red onion that keep the richness bright. It’s a well-executed, maximalist croissant that makes a compelling case for revisiting the genre." - Erika Adams
"Tucked on Washington Street, I make Third Cliff Bakery a must-stop for flaky, buttery croissants both savory and sweet, orange-and-cardamom morning buns, and seasonal treats like corn and rhubarb cakes with strawberry icing; there will almost certainly be a line that wraps around the side of the building first thing in the morning, but it moves fast." - Erika Adams
"I love Third Cliff, a JP bakery where Jadu has staged wine dinners." - Erika Adams
