Best of Boston

In a messy taste test of buns from eight area bakeries, the addictive swirled pastry from Iggy’s—made from buttery, pecan-studded croissant dough and topped with semi caramelized wildflower honey—reigned supreme. Can’t make the trek to the bread company’s store near Fresh Pond? Fret not: The sweet treats are also sold at Bloc 11, Peet’s Coffee & Tea, Darwin’s Ltd., and other spots around town.
