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.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
