"I’ll be honest, I didn't plan to write a review, but I feel it’s time to share some thoughts in hopes that PRB Boulangerie will take it as an opportunity to elevate the quality of their offerings. I first had a pleasure of trying their treats a few years ago, back when they still operated their Somerville bakery (now a sister shop, Café Saint-Germain). The pastries and breads were truly exceptional, and I also used to buy them for our New Year’s celebrations. After the transition, I began occasionally stopping by their Cambridge location in Kendall Sq.. In my early visits, I was won over by their take on the hazelnut Paris-Brest. Still, to this day, the best I’ve ever tried. It looked like a jewel crowned with a caramelized hazelnut, hiding a crisp praline center that added a wonderful depth of flavor. Ahhh, what a culinary joy it was! Visit after visit, I have found myself repeatedly disappointed by both the taste and quality. The pastries, croissants, and even a lukewarm strawberry matcha latte fell short: bland, cold, and lacking flavor. A recent purchase of three éclairs proved equally underwhelming; the choux pastry was completely tasteless. In general, their pastries are missing the rich, buttery essence that lies at the heart of classic French bakes. True, some of their desserts remain visually appealing; again, a reminder that appearances can be deceiving. I stopped by shortly before noon on a Sunday. The café was nearly empty. The service was quick and gracious, which I truly appreciated. I hope PRB Boulangerie will take a note and improve. I look forward to a positive change and the day I can rediscover this place, and once again feel excited about stepping in and experiencing modern fine patisserie at PRB Boulangerie!"

"First time here but I don’t think I am Coming back. My BLAT was cold and I found a plastic at the end. The raspberry croissant was OK but nothing impressive. The atmosphere was nice."

"This bakery is absolutely amazing! 🥐☕️ The sandwiches and pastries are incredibly delicious — everything tastes fresh and perfectly made. The place itself is unbelievably aesthetic and cozy, with beautiful dishes and presentation that make every detail feel special. You can tell everything — from the food to the coffee cups — is chosen with great taste. Definitely a must-visit spot!"

"I found this place through an Instagram reel and just had to try it after seeing their maple crème brûlée latte, which comes with the cutest little croissant. It did not disappoint! I also had the vanilla flan croissant and the chocolate beignet, which has a rich, gooey chocolate center that oozes out (absolute yum!). My only suggestion: please serve the maple crème brûlée latte in your beautiful ceramic mugs instead of paper cups. It’s one of the prettiest coffees I’ve ever seen, so why not give it the full presentation it deserves?"

"The pastries we had were all delicious, and the drink we ordered paired perfectly with them. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting — a great spot to relax and hang out with friends. The service was excellent too. Definitely worth a try!"
