Central Bakery — Restaurant in Cambridge

I rarely write reviews for anything, but I had to share this experience. I passed by the shop around 9 PM and was immediately drawn in by the warm aroma of freshly baked bread. Even though they were closing, the owner kindly let me in.

I noticed they had large packs of buns, but I just wanted a small one. Without hesitation, the owner went to the back to get it for me. I didn’t have any cash on me, and to my surprise, the owner said I could take the bread. I said I would come back to pay tomorrow. That simple gesture really touched me.

I shared the bread with my roommate as soon as I got home — she loved it as much as I did. There’s something special about the taste — honest, wholesome, and organic — just like the kindness behind it.

Best bread ever, and even better people behind it. Rooting for this bakery...

I absolutely Love Love Love central bakery's scali bread. The only problem is I can't eat seeds because of a medical condition. Every once in a while I will find a loaf without seeds and I'm like a kid opening my gifts at christmas time. I would be so happy if central bakery would put more seedless scali...

Great local spot. Showed up early before they were done setting up and picked up a loaf of the sweet bread. Nice and eggy tasting, made for good toast with marmalade. Friendly staff and service, great...
