Custom Cakes near Cambridge, MA

“Still amazing ice cream. My friend & I were the only customers. Service was fast & friendly. Belgian chocolate, burnt caramel and blackberry ice cream were delicious. Also, the cookie and mocha cookie dough ice cream were thoroughly enjoyed.“

“Ice cream is always excellent.“

“The ice cream is above average. It can be a bit expensive though. Service is a hit or miss, sometimes you get a smiling and friendly cashier, sometimes you get the unfriendly one (I do turn around and leave when I get the latter). The space is kind of small so when it gets too crowded I have seen people eating their ice cream standing up, outside.“

“Great ice cream and very helpful staff...what’s not to like??“

“I ordered this custom cake for my daughter-in-law's Totoro themed baby shower. It came out so amazing that the mom-to-be cried. She absolutely loved it. Mirette you are so talented!

Not only was Kristen great to work with, we had a large selection of delicious frosting and cake flavors to sample and choose from!

“I just logged in to write this review and realized for the first time that the tagline for Party Favors is A Family Tradition. This is 100% true! We have ordered cakes for special occasions since I was a kid and they are just the BEST. I can’t even name all the occasions.

Their cakes are beautifully decorated: creative, festive and elegant. They are moist and delicious cakes with perfect buttercream for frosting fanatics, and they taste amazing.

The prices are incredibly reasonable, the staff are knowledgeable and helpful and the whole experience is always a pleasure. For the best special occasion cakes, it’s a total no-brainer.

I almost never put reviews online (maybe 2 or 3 ever), but I have to give a plug to Party Favors. They are just the best.“

“This is one of Boston's best-kept secrets. Delectable Desires Pastries provides amazing cakes that are really tasty! They are incredibly crafty and creative in designs. I ordered a basketball cake for my daughter's basketball team's senior celebration. I was blown away by how she brought my vision to life and added her amazing touches to making everything look so real. This is my new bakery! And to top it all off... Delectable Desires Pastries' Founder and Pastry Chef is a woman and black-owned! Jackpot!“

“We ordered a Messi cake and it came out beautiful and so good. My son was supper happy with it. Thank you very much for helping us make his birthday so special.“

“buenas atenciones y buen sabor“

“Wow! I cannot use enough superlatives to express how ridiculously delicious their baked goods are!

All ingredients are REAL, and their banana cream pie was perfection: real banan chunks, the best pudding-filling ever, and real whipped cream, with real dark chocolate shavings and a real crusts. Phenomenal!!!!

I also got a few treats for friends.

The bakery isn’t open late, so you do have to make a point to go, but it is worth it!!!

“We have been searching for a marzipan cake for a couple of years now and finally found one at Danish Pastry House. We ordered the Princess Torte and were not disappointed. The marzipan is the best we have ever tasted. When picking up the cake, we could not resist buying several of the other pastries (including the mayor snail) just to try, and they did not disappoint. We will be returning to try more of their wonderful pastries.“

“I ordered alfajores for a family event, and WOW, they did not disappoint! They were presented so beautifully, that I didn’t even bother transferring them to a platter. They tasted even better than they looked, and they looked pretty great. The cookies were soft, but not falling apart, and the dulce de leche was just the right amount of sweet.

I took a star off for atmosphere because their storefront is very simple and a little cramped. However, I was in and out of there when picking my order up, so I didn’t have to spend much time in the store anyway.“

“The cold brew floats are my new go to dessert. Highly recommended.“

“- ordered a large waffle cone and it comes with 3 scoops of ice cream
- the mango ice cream flavour tasted so good!
- not that much space inside to sit down and enjoy the ice cream but you can walk around the market afterwards too
- the line and how the flow of the orders could be a bit more efficient and organized
- it would’ve been nice a display of the difference in sizes of the ice cream cones“

“My daughter LOVED her Barbie cake - exactly what she wanted. We’ve ordered many cakes from Kairo’s and they are always perfect. The staff is so kind - we are so lucky to have such a great small business in our neighborhood!“

“I recently visited Santia’s Bakery and had an amazing experience. I just enjoyed two juicy, flavorful empanadas and a perfectly cooked bollito—both were absolutely delicious. Last week, I bought a cake from them, and it was so well-made and tasty that my whole family loved it. For Thanksgiving, I placed an order for a box of pastelitos for my family, and I know they won’t disappoint!

What really stood out to me, aside from the great food, was the customer service. The staff treated me with such warmth and hospitality, making me feel welcome every time I visit. Santia’s Bakery is definitely my go-to spot for authentic and delicious baked goods!“

“It was nice to see something different“

“Amazing bakery! Showed them a picture and it came out exactly like it. Excellent customer service. Thank you guys!! :)“

“Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - “Great”

Service ?‍♂️

A shoutout to the fantastic team members Tri and Alex at Ben and Jerry’s! Their friendly demeanor and pleasant conversation transformed a simple ice cream run into a memorable experience. Despite being a corporate chain, the personal touch from these two employees made us feel special. Their warmth and attentiveness elevated our evening, proving that great service can make all the difference. ?????

Decor ?

While Ben and Jerry’s offers delicious ice cream, the cleanliness of this particular location left something to be desired. There was melted ice cream on the floor, sticky surfaces, and a general sense of untidiness. It’s understandable that the staff might be juggling multiple responsibilities, but a cleaner environment would significantly enhance the overall experience. The decor itself is fun and vibrant, typical of Ben and Jerry’s, but the cleanliness issues were a noticeable downside. ???

Food ?️

The ice cream at Ben and Jerry’s is as delightful as ever. I indulged in Marshmallow Sky and Salted Caramel Blondie, both rich and flavorful. My girlfriend, who is lactose intolerant, opted for the vegan, non-dairy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Non-dairy flavors can be hit or miss, but this one was fantastic—creamy and delicious, without the watery taste we’ve encountered elsewhere. Although the prices reflect the upscale Newbury Street location, the quality of the ice cream justifies the cost. ?????

In Retrospect ?

Reflecting on our visit, Ben and Jerry’s on Newbury Street provided a great ice cream experience with exceptional service and delicious flavors. The cleanliness issues were a minor setback, but the friendly staff and high-quality ice cream more than made up for it. We would definitely return for another sweet treat.

Final Verdict: ????? - “Great”
Catchy One-Liner: “Fantastic service and delicious non-dairy options make Ben and Jerry’s a sweet stop on Newbury Street.”“

“Cookies and Cream“

“Literally the best ice cream I’ve ever put in my mouth! And if you don’t have a spoon in your hotel room the end of your toothbrush works almost as well! (Photo n comments!)“

“We highly recommend Ginger Betty’s. There are so many things to choose from and all delicious. We spoil our clients with Ginger Betty’s and they have to go to get more. We bring Ginger Betty’s cookie trays to family occasions and business raffles. It’s always fun and different at Ginger Betty’s. It’s very sweet there - the treats and the staff.“
