Let\u2019s face it, even the healthiest of people need a break. We can stick to our strict diet and workout regimen week to week, but sometimes, it\u2019s okay to treat ourselves. The only question is, what to get? Well, in a city as varied as Boston<\/a> when it comes to food, you have a ton of options. While many people may opt for some seafood, a better option might just be pastries. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to satisfy your sweet tooth in Boston.

1. Modern Pastry Shop<\/h2>\n

This family-owned bakery is truly a staple in the North End<\/a> of Boston. The shop is full of delicious treats, just waiting for you. Their crown jewel is their cannoli (like a lot of Italian pastry shops,) and theirs are filled to order, to ensure maximum freshness. If you\u2019d like a beverage with your baked goods, have no fear, as the Modern Pastry Shop has a coffee bar full of mouth-watering options. This place even has an online catalog so you can send these sweet treats to those who can\u2019t come to Boston to give them a try.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Sofra<\/h2>\n

While this shop is known primarily as a bakery, it is so much more than that. Sofra is a modern Mediterranean caf\u00e9 and bakery that offers up some truly unique and awesome dishes. Whether you are after breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert, this place has just what you need. The spices in the baked goods truly make them unlike any other in the city and this is one place you definitely have to check out. In addition to the wonderful food, the caf\u00e9’s d\u00e9cor is great and perfectly complements the food. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Tatte Bakery and Caf\u00e9<\/h2>\n

While a few bakeries in this article will transport you to Italy, this one takes you straight to France. Tatte creates some of the most visually appealing treats available, which are sometimes too beautiful to eat. However, once you do eat them, you will be treated to an exceptional flavor that is made possible by the specially sourced raw ingredients used. If you come early in the day and aren\u2019t quite ready for sweets yet, don\u2019t worry. This place offers up delicious breakfast options too, which are just as fresh as the baked goods.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Flour Bakery + Caf\u00e9<\/h2>\n

This is among the most popular and highly-touted bakeries in the city, and once you sink your teeth into some of their food, you will immediately know why. This charming little caf\u00e9 and bakery serves up some of the best cakes and pastries in all of Boston. You’ll find this place spread out over several locations, including Back Bay<\/a>, South End<\/a>, and Cambridgeport<\/a>. While they also offer up more than just baked goods (including coffee and sandwiches), locals will tell you not to skip on the sugary treats. This place is so popular that they have opened up locations across the city, so you will never be too far away from your favorite pastries.<\/span><\/p>\n
