Monumental Market

Monumental Market combines a bakery, cafe and record shop on South Street. The baking is nut-free, and the daily choices include salted chocolate-chip cookies, ginger molasses cookies, biscuits and changing pop-tart flavors. There are also vegan and gluten-free options. Coffee ranges from drip and cold brew to espresso drinks, so you can make it a quick pastry stop or take more time with a cup.

The Jamaica Plain shop is woman-owned and takes custom cake orders as well as selling individual treats. Some baked goods appear only on particular days, including weekend cinnamon buns, so check the daily selection if you have one in mind. The records give you another reason to browse after you’ve decided what’s going in the pastry bag.
