Boston is truly the city for sweets. And with yesterday’s news of the authentic French bakery-cafe, PAUL, making it’s way to Boston, our city will soon have one more. But whether you find yourself in the North End or the South End (or any ‘end’ of Boston for that matter), you are sure to find some sort of pastry-laden shop on every corner. Here in the Hub, we’re certainly not wanting for sugary treats.

The fact that we can walk any which way and find a macaron, a cannoli or fresh bread, is pretty impressive. While other cities have generic pastry chain stores, we’re fortunate enough to have unique bakery shops that truly help make our city unique (not to mention – delicious). 

So today in honor of PAUL’s forthcoming arrival in Boston, we’ve presented you with 10 must-try awesomely sweet bakeries located in your neighborhood. Because what better time to indulge in powdered sugar and fresh bread than on a Saturday afternoon? Here’s where to satisfy your cravings.
