I had the pleasure of catering from this delightful bakery for our Gala, and it was an absolute hit! The pastries were not only beautiful but also accompanied by ingredient cards, which were incredibly helpful in addressing allergy concerns. The taste was out of this world, as evident from how quickly everything disappeared – gone within just one hour! The bakery leaves no room for disappointment; each item tasted incredible. The owner's generosity and kindness were heartwarming. They went above and beyond to craft a catering menu that perfectly matched our preferences, ensuring we were completely satisfied with our order. It's evident that the owner truly cares about each customer's happiness and works diligently to meet their desires. I highly recommend this bakery to anyone seeking delectable treats, personalized service, and genuine care from the owner. They truly made our Gala a memorable event with their exceptional pastries and outstanding customer service. Can't wait to cater from them again in the future!

Elegance, decadence, richness, and exquisiteness are just a few of the many words that come to my mind when it comes to Yafa Bakery and Cafe. The options are never ending and the staff are so passionate and knowledgeable about what they are putting in your hands. The chai is amazing; the limonada even greater. The baklava encompass so many flavors that I didn’t even know existed. A true Middle Eastern delicacy. As a college student on a budget, this is the perfect choice in terms of affordability while getting the luxurious and rich taste. Artfully delicious, indeed. My new favorite spot as a newer member to the Boston area!

Amazing! I went here with my friend to pick up an assortment of baked goods. The space is small but we got there early Saturday morning and the line wasn't bad at all (and it moved pretty fast). The atmosphere was nice and warm, it smelled SO good in there. We were going to make a list of everything we wanted but one of the employees said he could make an assortment of recommended items for us. He also gave us samples of their chai (which was delicious, I highly recommend). It was sweet, spicy, creamy, and so delicious. We got two small cups to go of that too. While we waited for the assortment another employee came out to bring us hummus and warm pita on the house. That was so pleasantly surprising, I can't wait to go back and sit down to eat. The assortment we got had great variety (items with dates, chocolate, pistachio, etc) and most importantly: everything was so yummy. I don't know that there is a single item in the bakery you can go wrong with ordering. Definitely check this place out!

This is probably the best bakery in Boston. It is Palestinian owned. Everything here is so delicious. The staff is very friendly. The owner is very generous. The atmosphere is very fresh and cute. There are also vegan options as well. I would highly recommend this place and make yourself a favor and try the pistachio roll baklava. They are so good!

Yafa is an incredible local Palestinian bakery that we are lucky to have in our city. Everyone is so kind, but especially the owner. He will give you piece after piece of delicious goods to taste and try. Some will be fresh out of the oven. I have been coming regularly since I moved to the area, and still every time I go I am treated like a brand new customer. Not only does everything look beautiful (and I mean it, some pieces are truly works of art), but I have not had a single bite of something that has not been delicious. Savory, sweet, it doesn't matter. And I've tried to get something new each time I've been - every bite is perfect. And I am Syrian, so I have had these things before, homemade by my grandmother. Now when I want something sweet, I go to Yafa. I never want to go to another bakery again. I want my parents to visit so I can bring them here. I want to have a party so I can have dessert catered by Yafa. Any excuse to get something new from such an incredible place.

Incredible bakery with the most incredible selection of baklava and other delicious goodies. The owner is incredibly generous, taking the time to explain the recipes and offer samples. There are a couple vegan friendly treats, too! Great mint tea and other beverages, as well as some savory baked goods.

Stopped into this cafe and bakery on a cold day this past weekend and was warmly greeted at the counter. The server offered us a taste of the house chai and also took the time to explain the differences between the phenomenal selection of baked goods on offer. I really love the time she took to talk about the different ingredients and pastries. Will absolutely be going back.

I got the Mussel Baklava with pistachio and Baklava rolls with walnuts. I came here specifically for these items as their key products include small bite-sized desserts. This is perfect for controlling my sugar intake. Although they were a bit too sweet for my taste, their small size meant I didn’t need to worry too much. The flavors were great! Also they gave me a chai sample which taste super!
