The cake was decorated beautifully but the frosting was hard as a rock. Like you could knock on the side of the cake and we weren't sure if we bought a real cake or one for display. I'm not even kinda kidding either. Italian rum cake from Elm St was a family birthday staple but I think it's time to change bakeries. Sadly...

Today I went into Elm st bakery to buy 6 slices of cheese pizza, a few cupcakes along with a couple other items. I noticed the employee giving me all corners, when I asked her for some middles her response to me was I can’t give you all middles. I can give you 3 & 3. It actually made me laugh out loud thinking she can’t be serious. I explained to her that it’s for kids who don’t eat crust. She said ya I can’t. So she continued to give me 3 sides and 3 middles like she was doing me a favor. If I wasn’t short on time to pick up my son from school since her and the other lady decided to carry on a conversation while I was standing in there waiting to be taken care of. What I really should have done was told her to keep them and left to go to any other bakery that would give the customer what they asked for. I’m totally in shock to know that Elm st does that to paying customers. Do better Elm st! It’s not what it use to be anyways

This neighborhood bakery is a little bit of the North End in Everett. The freshly baked bread is delicious! Authentic Italian pastries are delectable, as are their pies. We got lemon meringue today. The tiramisu is not my favorite but still tasty. Try the ricotta-filled Zeppole while they have them. The bakery clerks answer questions and are patient while you choose your baked goods. We try to drop by whenever we are in the area.

Bought half moons and they were old stale and dry. The frosting was so hard. If you don't buy the Italian pastries or cakes, chances are the pastry is old. I used to love the cookies, but lately they have been stale. Maybe they need to make less to sell faster. I will use caution with what I buy. Not sure what happened. This used to be the best bakery around.

Very disappointed- I have gotten good pastries here in the past, but today’s (4 different items) were awful. Stale, either overly sweet or not sweet enough. I wonder if it’s changed hands. Such a dramatic decline in quality.
Always a great experience here. Wide selection of freshly made pastries. So accommodating for special request orders, and the staff is very helpful and friendly regardless of how busy they may be.
