Café Sauvage: A French Fix in Back Bay

Tucked along the edge of Charlesgate in Back Bay, Café Sauvage is my not-so-secret go-to for a little dose of Paris in the morning. With its chic, unpretentious vibe and consistently delicious fare, it’s the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve discovered a neighborhood gem—even if everyone else already knows.

The breakfast croissant? Non-negotiable. Buttery, flaky, warm, and generously filled—it’s a staple in my weekly rhythm. Pair it with a perfect café au lait, and you’ve got a transportive little ritual that feels anything but routine.

For locals and lovers of French food faire, Café Sauvage is a sweet stop that’s always worth the stroll. A Back Bay favorite with just the right amount of edge.
