“Spinach and Berry salad is good“

“Always enjoy a tiramisu for 2 after nighttime activities with the wife. Tiramisu used to always hit but the cake has not been soaked as you’d expect. More of a tiramisu cake than actual authentic tiramisu. But still our go to after a good night of Cunnilingus. Please soak the cake more!!“

A Sweet Slice of Heaven – The Perfect Local Bakery

This bakery is truly a hidden gem that deserves all the love it gets — and more! From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted by the warm, comforting smell of fresh-baked bread and sweet pastries. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with charming décor and a display case so beautiful, it’s impossible not to smile.

Every item I’ve tried here has been absolutely delightful. The croissants are perfectly flaky with a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth texture that rivals anything you’d find in Paris. The cupcakes are moist and flavorful, with just the right amount of frosting (not too sweet, which I love!). Their sourdough bread is a personal favorite — crusty on the outside, soft and tangy inside, and always fresh.

What really makes this place stand out is the love and attention to detail in every baked good. You can tell the bakers truly care about quality and consistency. Everything is made fresh daily using high-quality ingredients, and it shows in both taste and presentation.

I also appreciate their creative seasonal specials — from pumpkin spice muffins in the fall to strawberry shortcake tarts in the summer. There’s always something new and exciting to try!

The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They’re always happy to recommend a favorite or help you discover a new treat.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee and pastry, picking up a custom cake, or just indulging your sweet tooth, this bakery offers a little moment of joy every time. It’s become a regular part of my routine, and I can’t recommend it enough!

A true treasure for any dessert lover. Five stars, every single time“

“Lamarca is one of the best vendors I deal with at my hotel. there is never an issue with delivery time, order accuracy or invoicing.“

“The people are very friendly and kind. I needed to wait for a few hours until I could get into my AirBnb and they let me stay warm and cozy until I could go in. The only reason it's not 5 starts is because they food is not of my taste (taste is VERY subjective) and the door isn't the best letting all the heating go away as soon as someone comes in or out.“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“My favorite, # 1 bakery in the Boston area. I've been coming here for years. Lots of, lots of love for this place and folks. ❤️❤️❤️🫶 Their breads and pastries are simply the best. It’s the kind of bread that takes you straight back to your grandma’s kitchen.

Over the years, they've gotten incredibly popular, and the lines now can be a bit much, especially on weekends or holidays. So I don’t stop by as often these days, but they’ll always have a special place in my heart.“

“It's 28 September 2025 at 0830. The place was super clean, comfortable, and we were treated by an amazing staff. This woman crushed it. I have not been this impressed by service in a long time. I would recommend this shop to anyone simply based off the quality of service provided by the employee.by the way the food and drinks were excellent“

“Over the past 4 months or so I have called with various questions, mostly having to do with your chicken pies.

Thank you so much.“

“amazing pastries!! nice people and very good coffee. I will be back!“

“These are the best and most unique cheesecakes that I have ever eaten, and Duly is a kind and awesome human. I highly recommend the Vietnamese Coffee and the OG Burnt, and the specialty flavors of ube as well as durian were also delicious! It's a super easy ordering and pickup experience, there are often fun samples to try, the fillings are always perfectly creamy and the crust pairs perfectly, and Duly is always dreaming up delectable, one-of-a-kind flavors. If I could afford to, I would try every cake Duly makes, with lots of repeat orders!“

“Incredible customer service, the kind that is rare to find! Above and beyond! The pastries are delicious. The Cruffins are light, airy and just the right amount of sweetness. We support small businesses, and this one is a hidden gem!“

“First time at the bakery. It has a small area for seating, seems geared to take out. We ate inside, team members were pleasant and helpful. You place and pick up your order at the counter.
Small selections, but everything we had was delicious. The breakfast sandwiches we had were a bit on the spicy hot 🌶 side, but ok 👍 for us.
Great place for quick ☕️ and breakfast or bakery item.
They had great music 🎶..in the background.“

“This place is the best! They import the flour from France and I can eat every single thing I want. The lavender flavor they use is amazing and my slow day go to. So yummy. Also the ham and cheese croissant is tops. I bring the croissants to people who I really like.“

“Katie was the absolute BEST to work with for our wedding - we can't recommend her enough! She developed an assortment of mini cupcakes and macarons that perfectly matched our wedding colors, flavor preferences, and accommodated the groom's allergies. She was so organized and easy to work with and handled all of the day-of setup and breakdown flawlessly. Our desert table felt so personal and we got so many compliments from guests. We can't wait to have another excuse to work with Katie!“

“We worked with Heather at Top Shelf Cookies for our wedding welcome bags, and the process could not have been easier! She helped us create beautiful custom cookies and even printed a custom label for the bags, which made them extra special. All of our guests absolutely loved the cookies, and Heather was a joy to work with, professional, creative, and so accommodating. Highly recommend Top Shelf Cookies for any special occasion!“

“Excellent service and the cookies are amazing. Convenient opening at 8am so I was able to pick up before work.“

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!“

“What an amazing place. In these times when we are still not comfortable dining indoors this place rocks. The chef behind these dishes knows a thing or two about bringing beer garden food to a totally new level. Thank you chef and staff in front of the house.“

“By far one of the best cakes I've had.

Fresh or canned fruit are delicious options they have. It's an angel food cake with a airy light frosting not too sweet. The fruit itself is the sweetness.

They are very kind and kept my order in the fridge until my Lyft came.“

“I love this place so much. I live in PA, have a husband and children, and still contemplate leaving them for the day to drive to Bakey and pick up a boatload of baked good. It’s that good. Please please please consider coming to the Lehigh valley!!“

“This is literally the best coffee in town. I’ve been going once a week for the past two years, and it never disappoints. They also have the best apple cider doughnut in the area, seriously, you have to try it.
Everything they make is delicious, and their bread is amazing too, especially the Japanese-style one. The quality, the flavor, and the consistency keep me coming back every single week. Highly recommend!“

“Food was good. However, I didn’t blow me away. The pupusas I was looking forward to, but mine was not cooked all the way through so it wasn’t that pleasant. I’m sure it would’ve been delicious if it had been cooked properly. Definitely do not go to dine in. There are a few Chairs next to the window and that’s it. It’s pretty much a takeout place. I would try it again, but probably not anytime soon.“

“Wonderful carrot cake and midnight chocolate cake purchased by our daughter for our birthday celebration.“

“he best bakery ever! I have had everything from the cakes and cupcakes, to the quiche and chicken pot pie… and it’s ALL delicious! I highly recommend them for specialty cakes or cookies, as I feel they can do anything you want perfectly! If you like caramel delights, that is the best cupcake I’ve ever had! The cakes I’ve ordered from there are always moist, and delicious. The staff is so friendly as well! I got over 100 cookies made by them for my wedding for my seating chart and everyone raved about them! I just got my rainbow birthday cake from there and it’s sooooo cool! I highly recommend!“

“Very nice bakery - friendly staff.

We ordered a cake a few years ago for a gender reveal party that worked out really well.

Recently we wanted to do the same thing to announce our second child, so we ordered a small batch of cupcakes with a blue/pink center to do the gender reveal. Except this time they forgot to add the filling! We called up the bakery and within an hour they had quickly put together some replacement cupcakes. Mistakes happen - but their team really worked hard to help us out and save the day.“

“Cranberry Pecan Roll is out of this world.“

“Hearth & Hug is a MUST anytime I’m in the city. The entire team is small but mighty and incredibly helpful and nice! Every pastry and bread is simply heavenly. 100/10 must go!!!! The freshness in every item is next to none and you can tell each item is made with the love like no other.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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“

“I am so pleased that I can go right down the street from my house and am able to buy a really good apple pie, filled with lots of apples just the right amount of sugar, I almost ate the whole pie myself, another great pie which is my favorite is the Key Lime pie, Lemon squares and blueberry muffins are a must try them. Phyllis O'Leary“
