Jonquils Cafe and Bakery

"The first time I went here, I enjoyed what I ordered so much that I came back two more times within two weeks. The first visit was the best (I might have set my expectations too high for the subsequent visits...), but I would still come back again if they put out new creations. I've tried Rose, Tulip, Passionate Love, and Geometric Apple, which is also the order in which I would rank them from most to least favorite. Rose was delicately balanced: smooth, airy, and not too sweet. I don't remember what Tulip tasted like (which speaks to its flavors), but I'm ranking it second because I did not like Passionate Love or Geometric Apple. They were true to the description, but the flavors were just too overwhelming (as opposed to balanced like Rose). However, all the shapes were beautiful and picturesque (if that's your goal). As for the drinks, I liked the Spanish latte even though I'm not generally a coffee drinker. The matcha latte was disappointing because it tasted mostly of milk. The iced coffee was nothing special. The workers are nice and worked quickly, even though the place can get quite busy, especially in the summer. I would recommend getting different chairs because the condition of the fabric on the current chairs are a bit off-putting, and the tables were sticky all the times I went. But the place is self-serve, so I'm not surprised and don't hold that against the place. Looking forward to seeing what else Jonquils puts out!"

"This cafe bakery is the cutest with adorable dessert. The cafe has a bathroom and seat with outlets all through the cafe. There's outdoor, indoor, and lower level seating. The dessert is such a joy to try. It looks cute and tastes really good. The fruit flavors really come through. We got the geometric apple and autumn leaf. Both are super good in their own way. Def recommend."

"Jonquils Cafe is an absolute gem in Boston! This patisserie offers an amazing blend of specialty coffees, teas, and delectable treats in a stylish and cozy setting. The attention to detail in both their beverages and pastries is impressive, and the staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. A must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in a delightful culinary experience. I can't wait to return!"

"Only downside is it was pretty busy with tourists since it’s right on newbury and popular for the 3d desserts. Not a good place to sit and study. They were really friendly and helped me choose a dessert. The apple looks the best but I’d say it’s the worst flavor wise - 100% go for the tulip! So good! Great coffee too."
