Where You Can Find the Best Muffins around Harvard Square

I will be completely honest in saying that I have an unhealthy obsession with muffins - they are by far my favorite food and I probably eat an average of 4 per week. My obsession has brought me to various cafes and food places, eager to find the "best" muffin around. Luckily, Harvard Square has a plethora of restaurants that serve delicious muffins, many of which I have had the joy of eating. From my adventures, I have compiled a list of some of the best muffins that you can have in Harvard Square.

1. Starbucks

Starbucks is popular mainly for its coffee and over-priced food, but its muffins are actually quite delicious. There is truly nothing better than a warm, crumbly muffin.

2. Petsi Pies

Petsi Pies muffins have a really amazing homemade taste and appearance. If you're willing to walk a little farther down Mass Ave, I would strongly recommend Petsi Pies. They also have pies so it's kind of a no-brainer that you should go there.

3. Mike's Pastry

The picture may be a bit deceiving, but this muffin was ginormous. But that still didn't stop me from devouring it in 0.3 seconds.

4. Crema Cafe

Crema Cafe's muffins are a bit more expensive than other muffins in the square, but they have a really unique taste. Crema also has a really great vibe, making the perfect place to hang out and enjoy your muffin(s).

5. Darwin's Ltd

Darwin's has toasted muffins and they are fantastic.

6. Peet's Coffee and Tea

So I may just be late to the party but Peet's is actually a thing now and there are dozens of Peet's all around. So, if you're looking for a great muffin and possibly some solid coffee and tea you should hit up Peet's.

7. Au Bon Pain

If you're like me and you live on the edge of the Yard that borders Mass Ave, you probably find way too many excuses to pay for food rather than trek to Annenberg. Au Bon Pain offers a solid variety of muffins and they're all pretty delicious.

8. Greenhouse Cafe

Greenhouse Cafe offers a solid selection of muffins, including vegan options. I've had their delicious blueberry muffin, which was surprisingly infused with a hint of lemon that actually tasted kind of amazing. Also, you can use your BoardPlus at Greenhouse, so it's really a win-win.

9. Annenberg's banana walnut muffins

This may surprise you, but Annenberg's banana walnut muffins are actually fantastic. And they're also (technically speaking, not really) free.

10. Wegmans

The nearest Wegman's is in Chestnut Hill, and many of you probably won't go all the way to Newton just for muffins. But I would. Because Wegman's has the most incredible muffins your taste buds will ever have the pleasure of tasting.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
