I LOVE their raspberry croissant, absolutely incredible! They have a large selection beyond that, and some limited outdoor seating.

Raspberry croissant (4.25$ after tax) had GREAT flavor, just the right amount of raspberry. The outside was nice and crisp, but unfortunately, the inside was not flaky, perhaps due to the raspberry. I'd say it's worth a visit if you're passing by!

Cakes and pastries are absolutely delicious. My favorite is the Challah.
Be sure to get there early in the day or order by phone or online because they sell out fast on Friday. They are absolutely delicious.

Was in town visiting a friend who lives close to Quebrada and now I wish I could live close by! The savory and sweet croissants are AMAZING and so are the breakfast sandwiches. I didn't try cupcakes or cookies but they also looked tempting. Service was great and there was so much variety. There are Vegan options as well! I also appreciated that they had iced coffee that you can pour on your own.

Have bought our family birthday cakes here for years. They are without fail always the best. Went to pick up one today and discovered I had given them the wrong date, so no cake was waiting for me. The manager was patient and kind -- she hustled to find another of the same cake in the store and saved the day for me. Lucky to have these folks and this store in our neighborhood!

Spent nearly eight dollars on a whoopie pie which was so bad (whipped cream filling???) I threw it away after one bite, and a small cupcake which had about one tablespoon of frosting. I try Quebrada every six months or so, hoping it will be good, but it never is. This was my last try.

There isn’t any better croissant and coffee in town. Their espresso is my favorite espresso of all time. Every person that works there is nice and fast. Thank you guys!

This bakery is great! I love that they offer mini cupcakes in addition to the standard size, and the raspberry linzer cookies are my all time fav :) I’ve bought from here several times now for family events and it’s always a big hit!

Great bakery, and friendly staff, generally. I wanted to try a birthday cake from here, so I called to place the order. They have "standard" cakes, and a "build-a-cake" option. I was hoping for a lemon coconut, which I get every year for the birthday boy. However, they make lemon cakes (without coconut) and a chocolate coconut cake (obviously, with coconut). I asked if they could make a lemon coconut. Not only did they say it sounded "unappealing," they informed me the coconut would be considered a 2nd filling (in addition to the lemon), which is outside the

A coworker brought cupcakes from here into school on their last day. First off it’s so pretty I didn’t want to eat it so I took a picture first. It was just a great cupcake. It wasn’t too sweet and the frosting didn’t overpower!

My husband picked up 2 chocolate raspberry tortes yesterday for my birthday. They were delicious! Everyone liked it! It wasn't too sweet and had right balance between cake and chocolate ganache... yum

There strawberry and whip cream cake is absolutely amazing. It's not too sweet and so moist. Just don't leave the cake out too long to get warm it will tumble over, there's no junk holding it together, it's very natural.

Delicious tasty cupcakes! Gonna be a short and sweet review, much like these cupcakes are little sweet treats ... well not too little - good size for a cupcake and enough to share for two people but I'd love my own next time :)

Loved how fresh they taste even though we stopped by at the end of the day. Frosting is my favorite part of the cupcake (I know this is a controversial topic for some, but I gotta get that cream), and it was spot on. Would love to come back again.

Stopped by on my way home from Encore Casino because I had an urge for cake. The carrot cake cupcakes were moist and the frosting was sweet and decadent. The staff was very friendly and they have full-size cupcakes and mini versions of the Sam flavors.

Get the strawberry cake! One of the best cakes I've ever had. The cream is super light and airy, the cake is moist and fluffy and it's loaded with strawberries. I hate super sweet cakes, and this cake has just the right amount of sweetness.

Price is very reasonable. $50 for a 9 inch, which will feed at least 10 people.

I kind of don't want to give a good review here because then people from far and wide will come flocking in. But I just can't hide it: Quebrada is simply amazing. My family has been patronizing this bakery for as long as I've been alive. We get their decadent chocolate cake for birthdays and their scrumptious croissants for family breakfasts. Their cookies are cute and yummy. Their coffee is also good. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone; my only regret is now the secret's out leaving fewer pastries for me!

The best place in Arlington to get cakes and cupcakes with buttercream frosting. Also really delicious warm savory croissants. The egg sandwiches are a bit too greasy for my belly. The crimson berry iced tea is essential for hot summer mornings.

The first thing I noticed about Quebrada's ham and cheese croissant was the hefty weight of it. This wasn't a croissant with more air then flake within it's layers. I bit into it and closed my eyes in satisfaction. The Saturday morning foot traffic faded into my periphery. I was torn between a base desire to inhale the remainder as fast as I could, while also knowing that I should savor this gooey, buttery, ham filled confectionary on an level close to sacred. When I opened my eyes, I noticed a two foot high porcelain owl statue in front me. I smiled back at it dumbfounded, like a village idiot

Pretty good and cute bakery cafe! I stopped by here for a quick morning snack and I was pleasantly surprised by both their service and their little snacks.

Their coffee was very solid. I ordered both the iced coffee and hot black coffee. But what impressed me the most was their "chocolate chip cookie", which had a base of chocolate topped with oats. I can't remember the name of it, but it was devoured by me and my partner within seconds!

Super helpful staff!

The selection is nice and they are located in neat little areas like Belmont Center and East Arlington.

Vegan Friendly - they offer vegan cake, cupcakes etc especially if you order ahead. Meaning, their Wellesley location supplies most of what the other locations get. So for example, the Belmont location may or may not have vegan cupcakes in stock on any given day (they did yesterday).

However, with increased interest, they may carry them more regularly. Nonetheless you can order as needed which is what I did for a birthday. They currently only offer vegan chocolate cake

I came back and tried their cakes... again and again! Every one I've tried is perfect--not too heavy nor overly sweet, just enough fluff and flavor. This is for the Two-Tone Layered Cake, Chocolate Raspberry Torte, and Classic Carrot Cake. Delicious!

Great go-to place to order a reliably good cake worthy of any celebration.
