“Excellence in baking and customer service! Must try everything!“

“Hosted a graduation party for my son. We used the catering service for the food. It was easy peasy to order , the food was delicious it was delivered on time and set up for us. The 40 people who attended left stuffed with the food and the great cake. I highly recommend that if you need catering, want great food and service this is the place to use“

“Best s’mores ice cream! Anyone that has Richardson’s has the best s’mores ice cream. Their cookies are really good. Sad they increased prices, but understand completely and they give you quite a bit for the price. Also for the cookies and cream, wish they didn’t use bags to put the cookie in and still put the cookie on the ice cream! I saw many people throw it out immediately. We come here often and the workers are always friendly compared to other places. Highly recommend the turtle cookie and s’mores!!“

“These are definitely some of the best macaroons that i have had!
They have great flavors too!!

4stars because They are pricey. $3.08 a macaroon for if you buy a box of 12 macaroons for $37.
I wouldnt mind if the macaroons were larger though.

still recommend that people try the flavors atleast once! i really loved mango passion fruit and pistachio macaroons.“

“Great local coffee shop. Excellent breakfast sandwiches and coffee. Always friendly. Phone App. Makes it easy to place order on line and pick-up.“

“We had not planned on eating here at the Burlington mall. After lunch and shopping, we went to get a drink when I happened to see their beautiful display of assorted crepes. We ended up purchasing a mixed fruit drink and a Paris crepe. It was YUUUMMMY!!

The man was friendly and patiently answered our questions. I will most DEFINITELY return to Appleseed when I'm back in this area of Boston. Great vibe and customer service.“

“To me this place serves the most delicious cakes. It melts in the mouth. The texture is so soft and moist, you will not waste even a tiny bit of it. Everytime we got cake from here there was never a left over. People always ask where is the cake from.“

“Thank you so much to Twist Bakery for their amazing generosity! A parent from our school had contacted them in regards to purchasing cookies for an event we have at the school for several children who have allergies. Twist and their staff were so pleasant to deal with and more than generous in what they did for us. All the littles were so excited that there was an option for cookies at the event for them that was not only safe, it was extremely yummy! Thank you again Twist for making our school kids day and putting parents minds at ease. We will surely be spreading the word about you!“

“The most delicious pastries ever. If you love pistachio the way I do you will have trouble choosing and it is ALL great. But I particularly love the savories. The Palestinian bread and the flatbread with the green topping (forget what it's called) is a family favorite. We adore these; the flatbreads are a great quick lunch. But so so delicious, fresh, we are so fortunate to have you here!“

“Michette is a gem tucked into the ever-evolving landscape of East Somerville. From the outside, the charming signage with little cartoons holding croissants pulls you in, but it’s the feeling once you step inside that really hooks you.

Walking in, it almost feels like you’ve crossed into a different era. The rich, dark wood and bustling energy give it this kind of timeless, grounded vibe. You’ve got a crowd inside, all clearly here with purpose, as the team behind the counter works like a well-tuned orchestra, each person genuinely engaged with their craft. Watching them work—rolling dough, restocking trays—makes it feel like you’re witnessing something rare in today’s fast-paced world: people who truly enjoy what they’re creating.

In a city where larger, established bakeries often dominate, it’s inspiring to see a small, grassroots operation like Michette making its mark. There’s something special about seeing the community embrace a place that’s focused so much on quality and craft. Their strive for excellence doesn’t go unnoticed, and it’s clear that they’re pouring everything into this spot.

I tried their canelé and chocolate croissant, which lived up to their reputation. The canelé was perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and custardy within, and the chocolate croissant had these endless layers, each bite flaking away to reveal the deep chocolate tucked inside. You can taste the skill and attention that goes into these pastries; it’s obvious they’re baked with genuine love.

Michette feels like it could quickly become a contender for one of Boston’s go-to bakeries. I’ll be back soon, and if you’re a pastry lover, this place is definitely worth a visit.“

“This charming little café offers delicious pastries and breakfast sandwiches served on English muffins. The space is small, with just a few tables, but they also have a separate online order window, which is great for pick-up. My friend and I tried two lattes—one fall special and a vanilla oat milk latte—and both were solid, quality coffees. Nothing extraordinary, but definitely satisfying.

It was a bit busy, so we waited around 15-20 minutes, but it was worth it. We both went for breakfast sandwiches, which come in different varieties with optional toppings for an additional charge. Honestly, this was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve had in a long time. Even though it was on a smaller English muffin, it was hearty without being overly filling, and everything was cooked perfectly—especially the melted American cheese. The English muffins were soft and had a great flavor, much better than store-bought.

I got the egg and cheese sandwich with bacon and avocado, and I’ll definitely be back!“

“The patties are wonderfully spiced & flakey. can't wait to try sweet the pastries!“

“I know it wasn’t your normal birthday cake but wanted to let you know we loved it 🥰. From ordering the cake, to pick up, this place is amazing. Thank you for working your magic on my special request of lemon & coconut. 🍋🥥“

“We went for the first time today and were not disappointed! We had the brioche roll, baguette and a croissant and they were all PERFECT. Soft, buttery and delicious. The owner was so kind and friendly too! My fiancé and I will be going every Sunday as a new tradition now!“

“I wish Bova's Bakery are coming in Oroville, California“

“My coworker drives from the North Shore for these croissants and I’m glad I finally tried them. I think the almond croissant and regular croissant are very good. The apple turnover was okay. I’m sure the canele is good too, but I think mine was very slightly underbaked. Will definitely come back.“

“Cranberry Pecan Roll is out of this world.“

“We love the quiche at Colette's!“

“Great place with nice drinks hard to find in Waltham and amazing desserts/snacks“

“So delicious!! Their cakes, breakfast sandwiches and scones are so good. I can’t wait to try their coffee next time I visit. Highly recommend“

“Turned a get together into a happening. Everything was delicious. Chicken salad was yummy salad and desserts amazing. Prices were reasonable.“

“The cakes and pastries are always fresh. I’ve been going since I was a little girl, and now I bring my own kids there for treats. I pray they stick around for a long time.“

“Roma's is family owned and operated, and ALWAYS makes you feel as though you are part of their large Italian family!! Not to mention how absolutely delicious their pastries and fresh bread are. You will never leave without a smile. Whether it comes from the food or the laughs with staff, Roma's has you leaving happy every time!! Much love to Roma's ♥️♥️♥️

Kid-friendliness: They have every pastry and cookie that a child can dream of, and are very kid friendly.“

“Staff were great at suggesting baked goods. We tried the egg deli roll, honey toast and the seasonal snowman. This was my first time here and I would definitely go out of my way to stop back in. The friendly service really makes me wish I could give this more than five stars.“

“Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pastries: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Price: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Colette Bakery in Melrose has some of the best pastries around! I’m a sucker for chocolate croissants, and the Cho-colette croissant at Colette is so delicious (pro tip, take the croissant home and toss in the air fryer to warm the pastry!)

Staff at Colette in Melrose are always so friendly. Love stopping in for our weekend pastry needs every chance we get!“

“With the other "M" bakeries taking all the hype, this small bakery slips under the radar despite selling a whole lot of yummy stuff, including calzones and cannoli.

ETA: Came back another time and caught a kid sticking his finger in the cannoli cream in the back. Ew.“

“Wanted a quick breakfast on the go and this place hit the spot! The walk-up stall was busy, but the line was moving quickly. The person taking orders was friendly and efficient, and you could see the team working hard to crank out orders. They had an array of sourdough bagels, schmears, and breakfast sandwiches. I got the B Flat on Jalapeño Cheddar (a weekend special flavor) with bacon and it was very good. The sauce they use was nice and complimented the cheese and bacon well. We also took some bagels and schmear to-go for snacking later.

My only complaint is the bagels weren't as chewy as I like, but the tang from the sourdough was really pleasant! Overall, if you are in the area you can't go wrong with a bagel or bagel sandwich from Bagel Guild!“

“Great smoothies that you can customize“

“I was not prepared for how good a popover sandwich would be. Even at closing time, the food was extremely fresh and delicious! I need to come back and try more things on the menu.“

“love this place best croissant ever feel like I m in 🇫🇷“

“Please do not EVER remove the meatball parm sandwich from your menu. it would also be nice to have a better variety of music.“

“I was searching Google for a custom pull apart cupcake cake and found Frostin in Boston. Liza was quick to respond to my email and right away we found the perfect design for my daughter’s birthday. She offered pick up in Medford and also delivery to your house! If you have allergies she offers, gluten-free, vegan and nut-free cakes!“

“Everything I’ve bought, from the spinach and feta triangles to zaatar spiced focaccia has been delicious and fresh, plus the owner is kind.“

“The waffle was just ok. I think the toppings and their pairing werent just to my liking. The oreos were overly sweet and the raspberries were a bit old and did not add any tartness to the dessert. The service was a little slow as there were only two people managing the whole operation and they were making everything to order.“

“Love this place and the great food. This place has been in our family for a couple of generations. Keep up the great food!!“

“I just had one of your mini trifles. Chocolate, mousse with hazelnuts. Oh my goodness. It was scrumptous!“

“My sister-in-law just sent me and my wife a door dash order to cheer us up, with cold brew and two pains au chocolat. I took one bite and… wow. Buttery but light and flaky, cooked just right - understated perfection in a bag! I grew up in France, and this is honestly one of the best French pastries I have had in 28 years living in the US. Even in France it's not every day you find one this good! We’ll be going there for more, can’t wait to try what else they have to offer!“

“Such a gem in the neighborhood! Whenever I’m in Arlington I make sure to come to Quebrada. They have great coffee in generous sizes, excellent breakfast options (ham and cheese croissants, breakfast sandwiches), and yummy baked goods. They had the cutest sugar-decorated shortbread cookies this week! The space itself is pretty small, not a lot of seating, but some nice window spots if you can get them. The staff are so friendly and helpful!“

“Got a loaf of the Sunflower Multigrain a few weeks ago and this is hands down the best bread I've ever had.“

“Will never go there just by reading reviews how they treat customers with disrespect, that behavior is not tolerate in Little Italy NYC Mulberry Street stop by Cafe Palermo if you in New York“

“Thank you so much for delivering produce during the pandemic! You guys rock.“

“The best cake I have ever had! Susan will make you anything you dream of! It tastes just as good as it looks! My Baby shower cake was the most talked about at the party!

Birthday, Weddings, Graduation, Showers, even dessert cakes or cupcakes. Cake is the answer!“

“Persian bakeries are hard to find. We drove over an hour to get here and were not disappointed. Everything is delicious and fresh as can be. Lots of good stuff is not on display so make sure to ask.“

“The cookies are always fresh and tasty and made of the best ingredients. We live in Boxborough, MA and drive all the way there. Got lucky and my day off they were open. Thanks for making it always worth it.☺️😋The Alda Family“

“One of the best salads around. Greek salad with a scoop of their delicious tuna is my favorite. Always fresh and crunchy. Excellent service with a smile every time.“

“Petsi Pies in Somerville is a gem loved by people all over Boston. Their pecan pie is simply the best—perfectly sweet, with a great crust. If you’re looking for a classic pie done right, this is the place to go. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to add a little extra to their Thanksgiving table or for birthday pie lovers!“
