I love When Pigs Fly bread! My favs are the Oat and Honey, 6 Grain and Pumpkin Seed, and basically any of the sweet breads! The English Muffin loaf is good too. The staff are all super kind and helpful. I saw some negative reviews on here that find fault with the service, and to them I say: hello? Are you okay? If you can’t get through a bread order (which should be a simple, short interaction I’d say??) without beefing with a staff member, I invite you to consider that *you* might be the problem. :)
They were so nice and made me feel welcomed. The bread tasted great!
Huge variety of creative breads, donuts, jam, and olive oil for sale by the vat. Check out the photos to get a better idea of their offerings. Reasonably priced.
Some of the best bread around! The employees here are always so kind and considerate. I had my cat with me today after a vet visit so I couldn’t go into the shop, but they were willing to do the transaction outside, so I still got my delicious sourdough bread!
Amazing, high quality bread and friendly helpful staff. The bread freezes really well, so stock up on $3 original sourdough Wednesdays!
The donuts here on Saturday are AMAZING. Heads up the donuts are also huge and we could have easily split one. The staff were really friendly and helpful when it came to picking out two donuts - all the choices looked amazing! We will be back!
Tried this place for the first time today, got the garlic and spinach bread. Life changing. As in, will eat it plain, no butter, not even toasted. Delicious. Will be back to try another loaf!
Have been to "When Pigs Fly" in the past. But staying in Malden, it was becoming not accessible. On May 21st had visited Davis Square Metro station on the Red Line - T. So visited the When Pigs Fly at the Elm Street. The attendant was very helpful and I bought 2 loaves of bread - Spinach Garlic Blueberry. She further enquired if I want the loaf to be sliced. Also I got following : Heavenly Jam Raspberry Jalapeño Pepper Jelly Thankful to the Team and appreciate the help in selection of the Bread and Jam. When Pigs fly is a favorite and like to visit every time I come to Boston.
You should go to the pig bread store! I really like the six grains pumpkin seeds bread, and the donuts are fresh too.
I tried several of their breads and have loved all of them so far. It’s great they have sweet and savory options. My favorite is the chocolate bread followed by the orange nut bread. The store is well organized and conveniently located near the red line.
