New Boston Bakery really is perfection. Everything I've ever had is 10/10. I have yet to try a scone half as good as NBB. If the decadent pastries, or gourmet sandwiches aren't enough, the service is outstanding. And the atmosphere, quaint yet elegant, warm, inviting, and beautiful. Jim puts the same level of detail in his delicious treats as his outdoor window boxes, and decorative charm.
I've gotten to know Jim because I volunteer with a few non-profits and Jim was always helping us out. We could always count on Jim to be part of our fundraising or offer the bakery in some way to help out. He has come through to help numerous nonprofits (not just the ones I've been involved with) and I have attended several fundraisers for different nonprofits at his bakery. His devotion to bettering the city is exemplary and his business is justly highly regarded.
We visit the bakery regularly with my son (he's 3.5yo now but has been going since 1yo) and they kindly give him a cookie and are very sweet towards him. My son always enjoys visiting "The Muffin Man" (Jim) and loves the pumpkin muffins. Jim was going on vacation and had some extra pumpkin muffins and rather than them go to waste, he hand delivered them to our house knowing they were my son's favorite. They were still warm from the oven! Whenever our son asks to see his "best friends" Jim and Jen (barista), it's hard to say no.
My favorites: scones, harvest crumb muffin, cream turnover (real whipped cream!), pistachio muffin, the highlander sandwich, thumbprint cookie, butter horns, danishes, and the QUICHE (Friday special)!

I used to place large orders of pastries to give to clients...no more! Can you believe one of the owners (or the sister) would discourage these orders, act curt and be dismissive in the process. Atfer paying for large orders I would always leave feeling bad or worse, mad.
Try Barcelos on Bedford. They earned my business with awesome food, a great atmosphere, and workers who are quick to smile and always appreciate...
Read moreThis place is clearly meant for people without a Mon-Fri day job. I heard great things, but I can never get there when they are actually OPEN, because they are not open on weekends. I had time off around the holidays and tried to go, only to be met with a sign on the door “closed until Feb 5th”! No notice on their website or anything about extended closure. Would have been nice to know that before I made the drive over there and parked, etc. You lost a potential customer due to your poor communication and unwillingness to serve outside of such limited hours. Even Google says they are open right now, but...
