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!“

“Love this place. Outstanding. And the baguettes are outstanding.“

“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!“

“To paraphrase Han Solo, "What a wonderful smell I discovered!"“

“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!“

“Cute French bakery in East Somerville serving some delicious pastries and bread. About as close to a French bakery as you’ll find in Boston.

Small bakery in East Somerville, not the easiest to get to, but at least that means there won’t be a big queue!

I tried their almond croissant and their baguette. The baguette was superb: crispy, the perfect amount of chewiness, honestly I was transported back to Paris. Extremely authentic.

The almond croissant was very good (and beautiful!) One small criticism which prevents this from reaching 5 stars: I felt like the almond paste could have been more flavourful, and the croissant itself could have been slightly crispier. But still overall solid.“

“Went today with my girlfriend, we had the most amazing baklava and Turkish coffee/matcha latte. The owner is the friendliest man you can find in Boston. Delicious coffee and pastries aside, I would visit this place simply for the hospitality; it was an outstanding experience.“

“Thanks to google maps, this sparked our curiosity. Highly recommend. Wonderful selection of fresh made breads and pastry eats. We ordered quite a bit since we wanted to try as much as we can. Our stay was short but we'll be here again if we're in Boston.“

“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!!“

“Over the past 4 months or so I have called with various questions, mostly having to do with your chicken pies. Every time I have called the person who answered my call was able to answer my questions quickly and politely. I appreciate the efficient service as that seems to be a rarity these days. Thank you so much.“

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

“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. 🍋🥥“

“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!“

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

“I come here once a week w/ my roommate. We are obsessed. On the edge of my seat waiting to learn about the new jam and muffin of the month. I’ve got my mom who lives out of state ordering muffins monthly. People are tired of hearing me talk about how great this place is!“

“The bundt cakes are Delish. Customer service goes above and beyond! Would recommend 5 stars !“

“Not lying—after the first bite, I knew this was not only the best cheesecake I've ever had but also the best sweet treat I've ever tasted. I'm so happy I found this place and can't wait to try other flavors! Thank you, Korean Momma!“

“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!“

“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“

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.“

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

“Overall great food in a nice atmosphere. Busy brunch service with single line for pastries and eat in brunch orders. Cold brew was good but loaded with ice, wife's ginger summer drink was really good with a lot less ice. Lamb hash was full of flavor, but nothing exciting for brunch level with ground meat as the hash instead of pulled or shredded. Wife's muesli was delicious with fresh fruit. Counters and tables did not seem to be cleaned between patrons and we had to skip a few seats to find one clean to eat at. The brioche toast was delicious and we wish we could have grabbed some more pastries, but it would have been another 30 minutes in line.“

“Go old school…. Get off Hanover, go up Salem, around the corner on Prince and you’ll find the real deal bakery. Incredible breads, pizza, pastries in a tiny little place that cranks out so much. No frills, just what you’d want from a real bakery.“

“I am so impressed with the creativity and quality of the beautiful creations these amazing sisters! Everyone should order their custom designed cakes and pastries from Solodko. And how clever their last name means sweet-perfect! Nadine“

“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.“

“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.“

“Got the Melon Pan, Chocolate Croissant, Iced Matcha Latte, and Iced Latte.
The melon pan was really good and I enjoyed the sweet crust. I just wish the inside was a bit more “cloudy”/fluffy (less doughy) like traditional melon pans. The Chocolate Croissant was amazing. Really liked the chocolate filling and the flakiness of the croissant.
The matcha latte was pretty good, but a bit too sweet. The coffee in the iced latte was a bit too acidic for my taste. All their baked goods are pretty cheap tho!“

“Best bakery and cafe around!“

“I highly recommend this small business bakery! Miss Wanda recently made a firetruck-themed birthday cake and cupcakes for our son's 3rd birthday party and they were a hit! Plus their everyday pastries are delicious - I buy some for my coworkers all the time and they love them!“

“Great smoothies that you can customize“

“Omg that was amazing taste on everything.. Highly recommended to try the chives scone 👌👌“

“Cranberry Pecan Roll is out of this world.“

“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“

“The staff here are amazing. They know my name and order. They even have the “Hank Special” which is my half hot chocolate and half coffee topped with whipped cream. Love you guys.“

“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 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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“
