Flour Bakery + Cafe
Joanne Chang's Harvard Square outpost of the Flour Bakery + Cafe empire she started in the South End in 2000. The sticky buns are legendary — Bobby Flay famously couldn't beat them on Throwdown. Sandwiches are substantial, cookies are perfect.
Sofra Bakery & Cafe
Turkish, Lebanese, and Greek pastries and savory flatbreads from Ana Sortun (Oleana) and pastry chef Maura Kilpatrick. Across from Mount Auburn Cemetery in Huron Village — worth the detour for the morning bun alone.
Yume Wo Katare
Porter Square ramen shop with a single menu item: Jiro-style pork ramen — thick wheat noodles, a mountain of bean sprouts and cabbage, two slabs of chashu pork, in a garlic-fat-and-shio tare broth. At the end of your meal, you stand up and share your dream with the room. Cash only.
Bagelsaurus
Slow-fermented sourdough bagels shaped and boiled in-house. Expanding the storefront in 2024 to meet demand. Not New York-style but Bon Appétit once called them among the best bagels in the US outside of New York.
