“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!“

“We love the quiche at Colette's!“

“We ordered breakfast sandwiches as take-out before hitting the road to head home to NJ. What a wonderful surprise! We expected basic egg and cheese sandwiches. These were so much better! They were absolutely delicious, as was the hash brown. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Boston.“

“Rosemary foccacia was actually some of the best bread I've eaten, I could eat it for a meal fr. Cashier was a little zoned out but that's ok, I get it. Also got the bouchon(?) and it was delightful. Outdoor seating nicely shielded the rain.“

“Every week when I take my dog on a long walk we pass Weesh so I can get my weekly fix of the Berry Pop Tart. Not only does it taste fresh and amazing, but the owner and staff there are beyond kind and friendly. This is a true gem in Roslindale Village“

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

“I don’t say this lightly — but Koreamomma just ruined all desserts for me

I’ve had a lot of cheesecakes, but this? This is next level. The kind of dessert that surprises you the first time and still amazes you every single time after.“

“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!“

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

“Tastes like home—maybe even better, if that's possible.“

“I really like this cake shop and have been here several times. The cakes are really nice—light, elegant, and not too sweet, with very delicate flavors. The bread is also great and all very reasonably priced.

The staff are friendly and polite, and I always leave with a good impression. If you’re nearby, it’s easy to stop by since there’s street parking along the road.

It’s a French pâtisserie, but I’d especially recommend it to Japanese customers as well—the flavors feel very familiar and approachable.“

“Cake order review only: easy to inquire about a cake online. Easy payment once we discussed the vision of the cake. And easy pickup. BEAUTIFUL CAKE. The cake was $90 for a heart shaped 2 layer cake with vintage piping, vegan vanilla with vegan vanilla buttercream and strawberry jam filling. I didn’t get the filling but was refunded immediately and the person handling the situation was so nice. I had asked why the darker icing tasted to chemically and they informed that the more they use the dye the more it tastes like it. So I would just skip that completely. Get the lighter frostings. Because like I said these are beautiful cakes and the cake itself is a good texture and flavor as a vegan cake.“

“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. 🍋🥥“

“Cranberry Pecan Roll is out of this world.“

“Quaint little place that feels authentic and coupled with fantastic service. The owner who works the bakery is very sweet and accommodates your requests. Bakery items are so tasty and you will come back for more. The display of flatbreads are extraordinary as they are lined up for your viewing. A must for breads and tasty treats. The custard filled bombolone is the best (and my favorite).“

“We contacted them for our Baby Shower cupcakes. They were beautifully decorated and exquisite! People at the party loved them. We definitely recommend this place. I can’t wait to order more options from here. Thank you Dessert Works for been part of our memories and for making a wonderful experience!! -Ida“

“We had our wedding cake designed and baked at Luna's Bakery and we HIGHLY recommend. They executed our vision beautifully and were a pleasure to work with. The cake was delivered on time and without any issue, the team is quick to respond, and our guests could not stop talking about the brigadeiro flavor. We had a three tier cake with a vintage design. Stop by Luna's Bakery to try all their delicious flavors and get a coffee while you're there. We can't wait for our first anniversary to have our top tier!!“

“An absolute gem and best bakery I've been to in Cambridge/Boston serving fresh baked Japanese style breads! Everything is freshly made and baked in-house and the quality speaks for itself: incredible Japanese wheat and flavor. Their salt bread was so soft, flavorful, and buttery. Their curry pan, which was fresh out of the oven was warm, perfectly savory. The French toast was simply heavenly, with a custardy pillowy sweetness. Their coffee was also incredible. You can tell the staff care so much. We'll be back regularly.“

“Cute little bakery. Friendly service. I always stop here when I'm in the area to get goodies that aren't common in traditional bakeries. My favorites are the Pandan Coconut Cake roll, the Strawberry Cake roll, and the Corn & Cheese Roll. Because it is a small place, it can get super crowded with a queue out the door. Best to go between peak meal times.“

“Awesome Wedding 💒 Cake! And apparently a great place for Romance 💕🙏🏽💕“

“From the very beginning working with the people at Donna’s Cakes was an A+ experience. All the people I spoke with were nice and helpful. The birthday cake was beautifully decorated, delicious and ready as promised. Thank you!“

“Every year I host a tennis charity event Serve For a Cure in support of the Jimmy fund and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. I reached out to Nothing Bundt Cakes, via email thinking they wouldn’t answer me. I got an phone call saying they would like to donate cakes to my event. When I was told how many, I was flabbergasted. They were so generous and very easy to work with. The day of my event a friend of mine picked up the personal cakes, and we gave them out to the tennis players. I some how got 4 of them. They were delicious! I would highly recommend Nothing Bundt Cakes for your next occasion or even just a sweet treat.“

“Luke is an angel 💛 We needed to have quebrada at our wedding even though they do not make wedding cakes. We were absolutely determined to stack their cakes even though they Do Not stack cakes. The truth is that we’d rather serve the ruins of a Quebrada Lemon Raspberry off the floor than any other cake on earth.
Thank you Katie and Luke and everyone else at quebrada.“

“A very welcoming bakery! The pastries were delicious. I had the raspberry croissant and it was amazing. Wellesley also helped us with directions as well as we were struggling to figure out whether the location we were heading to was walkable or not.

It's Cambodian-owned. I'm Cambodian and being there felt like home! They also sweetly send me off with free cookies too because they knew I was traveling back home later that day! Got to enjoy them on the train back. Support locally-owned businesses!“

“Best bakery I’ve been to in years! Fresh perfectly cooked pastries. Kind and friendly service. Here visiting for a week found this place- a real must stop when in Norwood!“

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!“

“Lovely staff and delicious baked goods!“

“Absolutely wonderful neighborhood bakery! The owner helped me and my husband create such a special gender reveal by secretly wrapping up 2 pink cookies for us to open at home. He was so thoughtful and shared in our excitement. Not to mention, the cookies (and muffins) are SO delicious“

“Because other bakeries required advance reservations, I ended up finding this shop at the last minute and was able to place an order by phone. It turned out to be a 1000% pleasant surprise—honestly, This might be my favorite bakery shop in Boston right now.

I placed the order in the afternoon and picked it up the same night (they did say some cakes are better to pre-order though). We got the strawberry chocolate one, and it was insanely good. Not too sweet at all, the chocolate cake layers were exactly my type, and the chocolate filling was just perfect—not heavy.

Honestly can’t think of another place that beats this right now. Pretty sure this is gonna be my must-go spot from now on. Already told a bunch of friends—next birthdays, we’re all coming back here.“

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

“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!“
