Yafa Bakery & Café

Yafa deserves its stellar reputation and is frankly the best Somerville has to offer. From the moment you arrive, the staff is warm and attentive, welcoming you and often giving out samples of their delicious baked goods. There is something for everyone here, with gluten free options and allergens clearly listed. There is a good amount of comfortable seating. The baklava is perhaps my favorite I have ever tried, and you cannot go wrong with any choice on the menu. As a lover of pistachio, I would recommend the burma, kunafah, and muska kataifi in particular.

Yafa could not be more welcoming, and their food is absolutely delicious. They also have labeled gluten free and vegan options. Stop in for a delicious chai, a refreshing juice, and some of the best walnut pastry you've ever tasted. The owner is one of the kindest people I've met!
