However, the coffee leaves something to be desired. If you’re in Jamaica Plain, I recommend picking up some pastries at Third Cliff and then heading over to Tokava for a much better coffee experience. Additionally, they have excellent vegan options for those with dietary restrictions.

They manage to strike a wonderful balance between incredible flavors and innovative creations. The guava and cream cheese croissant is a brilliant idea and absolutely delicious. I also really enjoy the cardamom morning bun; it's a delightful twist on the classic. Plus, the staff here are genuinely friendly. A special thanks to Tom for brightening my Sunday morning! The only thing I wish for is more seating inside so I could fully relax and savor their amazing baked goods—then it would be the perfect spot.

I came on a rainy Friday right as they opened and by the time I left an hour later, it became busy, with lines firming throughout my time there.There are a few seats, but it seems like most people get their things to-go. I sat at a table near the back with a book, and was comfortable eating my pastries and sipping on my Rosie Palmer.I got the Lavender Kouign Amann and the Blueberry Hand Pie. I loved both their tastes and textures. I would definitely come back to try more of their selection.
