Cambridge Mornings : (Verna's)

You know that feeling when you wake up and you not only want to 'smell the coffee' but you also want to smell the delicious baked treats and sweets? Yeah, that happens to us almost everyday.

That's the beauty of the bakery, and boy do we love them. From muffins to morning rolls to donuts to croissants, it just doesn't get much better. So since we are in Cambridge, MA this summer, we thought we would put together a little list of some of the best places to go for that special morning treat. So wake up and get your game face on, it's time for breakfast treats!


Our first stop: Verna's.

This place is a real deal morning institution. Just down Mass Ave (passed the Harvard Quad) hides this little coffee and donuts gem. A true bakery at heart, you are welcomed with the wonderful aroma of brewing coffee and gently baked cake donuts as soon as you step foot inside the little corner building. This hole-in-the-wall beauty makes fresh donuts every morning and truly has the mom and pop goodness factor from the moment you walk inside and are surrounded by true Cantabrigians (aka residents of Cambridge...)

Now I have a feeling you are already sold on the idea of delicious donuts and other treats, but us add two more pieces of information to get your mouth watering.
1. The flavor choices are unreal. There is literally no bad choice. Old-fashioned. Honey dipped. Butter Crunch. Chocolate Glazed. zomg.
2. These puppies are all around $1. wait, did you read that correctly? Yes you did. One freakin' dollar. Unreal!
