Canto 6 Bakery & Cafe

Sometimes the best food spots are those you are not expecting to find.
I was not expecting to walk into Canto 6 Bakery & Cafe, but I did... and how glad I am!

I sing about their brioche. I sing about their seasonal tomato and cheese croissants... I sing about their jasmine iced tea!
Walking down Washington St. in Jamaica Plain for a work commitment, I had been scanning the store fronts for about ten minutes looking for a nibble or more of food to satiate a growing hunger (after five hours of meeting with students and their parents.)

A small but delicately displayed sign stuck out to me amid the gray asphalt and other drab buildings. The smell of baked bread and savory ingredients filled my nose, intrigued my belly, and clung to my clothes. I had just discovered one of the best bakery/cafe establishments in JP (Jamaica Plain) and, dare I say, Boston.

Not only are their hot drinks a solid 8 (on the 10 scale of course), their bakery is local and flavorful, so clearly a 10.
