Best Bakery in Boston - Canto 6 Cafe in JP
If you've never been there - you are seriously missing on best sandwiches, croissants, baguettes and pastry you can get in Boston. If you've ever stepped in this place just once - you know what I'm talking about.
Canto 6 is a small bakery tucked in on a corner of Green street and Washington st in Jamaica Plain, close to Green Street T stop on Orange line. You really have to know it's there, it's easy to miss. It's right across the street of Police Station (if that makes it easier to find).
Once you step in you feel the divine aroma of freshly made bread and pastry. You see an array of goodies on the shelves, and it's hard to make a choice. Yet it's easy - because anything you order will be great. Mouthwatering, fresh out of the oven, irresistible, that will call your name like a Lorelei, and make you come back again, and again, and again...
Cafe has limited seating area, couple of table and a few chairs. It's best to take out, especially if you are in a rush.
Be prepared to visit this cafe early in the day - lots of stuff gets sold out around noon. To get the best selection of goodies plan to be there in the morning.
Staff is very friendly and interesting people - you'd love to become a "regular" to stop by and chat with them, while you are getting your weekly (or daily) indulgences. Said indulgences will satisfy any taste: there are puffy pies, and flaky pastries for those with sweet tooth, there are salty pieces kinked up with aged brie, there's healthy nut bread, and crusty baguettes...
On-street parking on Washington is usually easy to find, so if you plan a trip to Arboretum, or anything else in the area, or are just going to drive by - treat yourself and stop by at the Canto 6 Cafe. You'll be glad you did!
