Bakery Boston | The source of happiness on weekdays is delicious scone

🧁 South End Buttery: Boston’s Neighborhood Bakery—Solid Scones, No Fuss Tucked next to my office for years, I finally tried this tiny South End spot—and it’s exactly what you want in a neighborhood bakery: simple, reliable, and perfect for a quick breakfast or snack. 🥐 The Stars: Scones Bacon Cheddar Chive Scone ($4.0): 🥓 My favorite. Buttery, flaky, and not overly greasy or salty. Bits of crispy bacon add smokiness, while chives and cheddar boost the savory flavor—balanced and satisfying. Texture: Crusty outside, slightly soft inside (like a dense, buttery cookie, in the best way). Blueberry Lemon Scone ($4.0): 🍋 Sweet but not cloying, with plump blueberries and bright lemon zest. The sugar sprinkle on top adds a nice crunch. Less exciting than the savory version, but still tasty—great with coffee. Pro tip: Heat them up! It makes the texture softer and amplifies the buttery aroma. (Wish they’d offer to heat them in-store, though.) 😐 The “Meh” Banana Bread ($3.5/slice): 🍌 Cinnamon-heavy, super moist (read: oily), and sweet. If you love rich, spiced banana bread, it works—but it’s indulgent to a fault. ✨ The Vibe Atmosphere: Tiny, cozy, with a glass case full of baked goods (scones, muffins, croissants, cupcakes). Croissants look less polished than Tatte’s, but the scones are the real draw. Crowd: Mostly office workers grabbing coffee and pastries—no lines, just quick service. South End Buttery is a solid neighborhood spot—no need to make a special trip, but worth stopping by if you’re in the area. The savory scone alone earns it a return visit. 📍 South End Buttery 314 Shawmut Ave, Boston, MA 02118 #BostonBakery #SconeLovers #SouthEndEats
