Shift Roams

The Bakery Run

Three bakeries, three neighborhoods, one great excuse to ride the bus.

Three bakeries, three neighborhoods, one bus and one train. Start at Tatte in Harvard Square — the pastry case alone is worth the trip. Take the 66 bus down to Clear Flour in Brookline for one of the best baguettes in the state. Then hop the Green Line D from Brookline Village to Copley and walk ten minutes through the South End to Flour Bakery for a sticky bun the size of your head. You're coming home with a bag and a story about how easy transit actually is.

Numbered pins are the roam's stops; gold rings are bonus stops. Check in at each stop in the Shift app to complete the roam.
