    This is without a doubt my favorite bakery in Boston. Their almond croissants are truly magical. There tarts, torts, cakes, gelato, and handmade chocolates really set them apart.

    The hot chocolate is absolutely without a doubt my favorite.

    I needed to go to a bakery after leaving the dispensary. This spot was within 9 minutes of the location.

    I've been wanting to go back ever since. Seriously delicious- not overly sweet pastries and delicacies. I even ordered a mocha espresso and almost forgot I had people waiting for me to return. The staff was super warm and inviting. The space and open door just beckons for one to enter and turn the wonderland.

    I wont talk about how this was better than that notorious bakery on Hanover Street.

    Hands down I want to come back to Boston to eat at Athan's - because I believe the pastries are made by people with integrity and have history with the recipes.

    I've never been disappointed here. The cakes, cookies and croissants are always lovely. The lattes are always spot on too.
    I usually stop by around 9 or 10 pm so it is quiet but never empty. I like to come by because it is the perfect spot to get a small treat and relax at night

    Athan's has so many goodies in their bakery. Your choices for cakes and cookies and pastries feel endless. I've tried a couple of things here. The chocolate chip cookie is very delicious and chewy, and accompanied my latte very well. I also recommend the latte! The espresso was smooth without a bitter aftertaste.

    The tiramisu was a little disappointing though. The cake layer was a bit dry and didn't have a strong espresso taste. The other cakes looked delicious so I would definitely try some of the other ones before getting the tiramisu again.

    I came to get work down in the afternoon on a weekend and while it got crowded, there was always still space. Keep in mind, they have a 2 hour WiFi limit on weekends. Overall a great experience

    Underwhelming. Disappointing inattentive service from some white dude. Cookies were stale.
