Cambridge
Co-founded by award-winning pastry chef Monica Glass, Verveine Cafe & Bakery is a dedicated 100% gluten-free destination in Cambridge celebrated for its celiac-safe breads and pastries. Standout highlights include fresh cinnamon rolls, ube treats, seasonal fruit galettes, and artisanal breads like baguettes and ciabatta. Guests can also enjoy nourishing savory fare, particularly their popular congee bowl loaded with mushrooms and a soft-boiled egg.
