“Has so many greek imported food and fresh cooked greek food too. They have everything you want here. They have great spanakopita and tyropita that was made fresh too. I take my mom here sometimes to pick up some of her favorite greek chocolate that remind her of “
“They have a wide variety of cakes to choose from, and they can customize any cake to your liking. The cakes are always fresh and delicious, and the prices are very reasonable. I would definitely recommend Ziggy's to anyone looking for a cake for a special occasion.“

“Great little Portuguese bakery heading into downtown Salem. I can't quite remember the names of what I ordered but the lady at the counter was extremely friendly and helpful. There was a bit of a language barrier but we were able to sort it out just fine. Obrigado!Ask for their sweet guava filled cookies as well as their savory chicken pastry dish. You won't regret it!“
“Absolutely Outstanding!! I have not had a cake this perfect ever! It was delicious, moist and just plain delicious. I loved the chocolate chip bundt and I also purchased the mini bundts that were also delightful. I was so impressed with this cake I almost wish I didn't discover them, almost. Thankfully, they are a bit of a drive for me because I would be stopping in all the time. Just wonderful all around and so colorful. I loved everything about this place. Will definitely return.“
“Pastries are delicious! We got the hazelnut buttercream, the pistachio (forget the name), pain au chocolat, and 6 macarons. Totaled around $35, which is expected for high quality pastries.The pain au chocolat was perfectly flaky and had a good amount of chocolate. My 1.5 year old loved it too. My husband loved the pistachio pastry. It was very light and fluffy. I loved the hazelnut buttercream, the flavor was so delicate yet so rich.The macarons we got were tiramisu, peppermint, rose, earl grey, lavender, and chocolate. I've only tasted the peppermint but it was delicious.We went around 4:30pm so not as much to choose from, probably because they were closing soon, but we were happy with our selections. We'll be back for sure when we are in the area.“
“Home of the pizza bagel and bagel dog; I've been eating these 2 iconic staples to this establishment since I was a little girl. I'm a loyal customer that drives 30 minutes once per week to give them my business. 2 reasons.... Support local businesses and they have a product that makes them unique to our community. My family has gone here for generations, well over 50 years“
“THEE best!! We stopped by after our visit to the Witch Museum and this gem is located across the street. We tried the Milky Way cookie with vanilla soft serve. FRICKIN delicious, the cookie was baked to perfection, warm and paired nicely with the ice cream. We also got the Carrot Cake, also FRICKIN delicious and baked to perfection. The center was filled with a nice dollop of vanilla frosting and tasted just like a slice of carrot cake. We devoured them and unfortunately didn't snap a photo. Big shoutout to Dylan and Amanda for the great service!!:) 10/10 highly recommend!!“
“The Northshore breakfast sandwich is purely addicting and has become my occasional goto. However, I do feel that they get their counter staff from the RMV reject pile. If I'm paying $18 for a really good breakfast sandwich and a very average cold brew, I do not think it's too much to ask for a smile and to be thanked for my business. I was standing with three other customers and we were all in agreement.“
“Went in for breakfast today and picked up the cake for my fiances birthday. They were super busy, but the staff got everyone through quickly. Coffee and breakfast sandwiches were tasty, loved the bagels. We cut the cake tonight, it was moist and delicious. I barely got a pic because my sweetie was so anxious to cut into it. Thank you!Second visit was just as amazing. I had the Hot Cubano and strawberry paczki. Highly recommend!“
“I'm obsessed with their quiche and if you call 48 hours ahead of time (I've even gotten away with less), you can pre-order a whole one. This is my new superpower. Everyone loves the person who shows up with a gigantic delicious quiche and it couldn't be easier. Everything else is divine and this place takes all my money, but man. That quiche. *chef's kiss*“
“It's so great to have the smell of fresh bread on Cabot Street! My favorite thing is the Ham & Gruyere Croissant - you can ask them to warm it up a bit for you and it's just the breakfast snack.Parking: There is metered parking on Cabot St or Broadway“
“Quaint pretty cafe. Loved the interiors and the vibe. The food is authentic middleeastern food. They have huge variety of sweets. We got a pack of hummus to take home. The falafel was dry and OK. The turkish tea was nice and refreshing. We also tried a bunch of appetizers of which our favourite was the spicy potato sambusa.“
“A great spot to grab a breakfast bite! Their sandwiches are yummy and their tots are crunchy deliciousness! Highly recommend any of their baked treats and coffee too.Dietary restrictions: They have a gluten free option for bread and you can have any of the sandwiches over tater tots instead!“
“We came to grab coffee on a whim before heading to an open house nearby. There isn’t much seating, just a small table in the front, so it’s more a grab and go spot. The pastries completely won me over though! So many great and creative options. I will come back to try more!“
“Such a great location for our networking group each week... not only do they have an amazing location but the food and coffee is out of this world!!! Ing.. Inspiring New Growth Networking Group is very blessed to have this location for us to meet at each week!“
“Duuuude, this place is awesome!!!!!Let's start with the place.• Super clean• Unique style• Music was on point• Enough space to seat and enjoy your mealThe service was greatThe food was delicious. (Portions are on the small side) We had jambalaya Congee, Chicken and Sausage Gumbo and a fried shrimp Po boy. Everything was great.Prices are reasonable.So glad I found something totally different for lunch.Kid-friendliness: Is a freaking cool place visually the music and decoraton has sort of like a GTA Vice City vibe.“
“My wife and I found this place in late 2022, and were about to order our 6th cake with them since. They are so above and beyond and very gracious. The cakes are like art work and they have such creativity. You live locally to the northshore and particularly the Beverly- Salem area.. this is the place to make your desserts.“
“Cute place, not as stylish as some city cafes, but that highlights that the focus is the food not the look. Every single food thing here is phenomenal. They're known for impeccable breads, though coincidentally the pastries are flawless, and the croissants aren't even too "bready". They rotate their selection-- we get about 12-14 items maybe once a month, and every single one is a knockout every time. Their coffee is also very good. The only improvement would be the service. I think there hasn't been a single time I've gone where they've actually gotten our large order right. Most recently, two bacon egg and cheeses were left off the receipt and just never made. This didn't detract from my rating though. The service is still kind and quick and the food quality more than makes up for it.“
“Pure Pastry is and always will be a part of our big moments in life. Pure Pasty has been at our wedding, our baby shower, all of our birthdays and all of our holidays. We look forward to Pure Pastry being at every event. I have celiac disease and my husband does not. We have had gluten free and non gluten free desserts. Everything from this company is delicious, unique and beautiful. No matter who you speak with from Pure Pastry everyone is kind and willing to help you.“
“I ordered m&m cookies for my son's birthday. I thought they were expensive when I ordered (but competitive with other bakeries). However, after eating one of the enormous, not too sweet, not too salty cookies; I realized that these cookies were miles beyond their competitors. They were thick, full of mini m&ms, slightly crunchy at the edges, perfectly cooked: yum. It's more of an experience than a cookie. In conclusion, the items at Sweet Spot are worth every penny.“

“Very nice overall. One of the best bakeries in town, this place is just so nice. The pasteries are very good and the food is really good as well. I will recommend this place for anyone who wants a quick breakfast or just something to feed the soul ?“
“We had such fun desserts for my daughter’s bridal shower! Our guests enjoyed 5 different kinds of cupcakes, 3 different cake pop flavors, and GORGEOUS bride, groom, and bridal gown cookies. Everything was such a hit and guests raved about the dessert! Everything was delicious and presented beautifully! Candice was a pleasure to work with and a big help in my planning! I will be back!“
“I’ve ordered here three times already and all three times have been delicious and consistent. Their breakfast burritos hit the spot and the salted caramel oat milk macchiato was SO GOOD!! When I say RUN don’t walk to this cafe I mean it!! This place deserves a full 5 star google rating, 4.7 doesn’t do them justice!!! New favorite breakfast spot hands down!!“
“I had the pleasure of walking into Ziggys after trying to find fresh doughnuts other than your dunkin and honeydew processed ones that are everywhere. The prices are fantastic. The service was great. Even ended up sitting and having a chat even though it was going to be in and out. They do cash and card. The doughnuts were amazing. Will be there more often when time allows. It's so close to where I work on the water there in town.Parking: There are 2, 15 minute spot out front. Other than that other street parking is by permit but if you are just grabbing and going you should be fine.“
“My two favorite foods sound boring to some, but I can't help it -- I'm a savory food kind of person. I love nachos and I love BLTs, and it's amazing how many places have managed to not do these two things well. I have never been able to find a place that can make a good BLT, until now!I needed a quick lunch today and went here on a whim because it was close by. I saw they were closing soon, but there were people inside so I headed in. Sometimes small, local coffee shops can feel drafty or unkempt or just lifeless. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I'd want to sit there for hours. The temperature was just right, and the ambiance felt friendly and warm.I acknowledged that they were closing soon and asked if I could still order a sandwich. They replied in a way that felt welcoming, and not like I was imposing on them (which some places, 15 minutes prior to closing, would have). I ordered the BLT and used the restroom while I waited. Even the restroom was pleasant!I sat in one of the two window bays on a comfortable stool (again, perfect! sometimes they're way too high for a 4'10" to get up on, or off), with a complimentary cup of water (I love when cafes have serve yourself water). One of the servers brought my sandwich over and even on first glance I could tell it was going to be good. No wilted lettuce, no weird bread, perfect amount of mayo and bacon. It was the best BLT I've had at a restaurant, even better than I make at home.So, 5 stars for great ambiance, friendly, unrushed service, and a great BLT! I have no doubt that their other food is just as good.“
“I bought a box of cookies in a Hannaford's in upstate Amsterdam, NY. They were a Gourmet Collection with Lemon butter, dipped blossoms & Lemon Jam filled cookies. I never like store bought cookies, but loves these. Went back to buy another box and the store was out. I hope they will get more as they were excellent.“
“love this place, been coming here since 2011. the pink cake is so sweet and delicious, so is the cheesecake bread especially when warm, and the fried sugary donut sticks with the filling in the middle. sorry I don't know the correct names for it all. recently tried their tiramisu cups and tamales- holy cow so delicious :) my boyfriend is in love with their tamales.everyone is friendly here too and I will always be a customer, I can tell they work hard!“
“We were referred to whoopie wagon by the agawan dinner when we called looking for a glutton free desert. We immediately called and had a great phone service experience. Fast forward, day before thanksgiving we pick them up at their very nice hip shop. Love the place, whoopies are outta this world. We had a few different flavors .Sooo Delish. Will be back soon.“
“The best fresh and handmade pasta, sauces, gelato, desserts and more! A true hidden gem where you can bring home the goods that rivals any fine Italian resturant. I am so lucky to have such a special store nearby. They are so nice there too.“
“Our enezuelan brother-in-law came to town to visit and suggested this restaurant. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I've never had the experience of Venezuelan cuisine, and what a fabulous introduction we had here! Can not begin to explain how delicious everything was, we tried a little of everything... tequeños, the Bochinche plate of appetizers, chamos tostadas, the aragua arepas. It was amazing how flavorful our meal was!!! YUM and more Yum! Their motto is you are not a customer, you are a family member.... and we honestly felt like we were part of their family! Thank you!“
“The Salvadoran bread pudding is really tasty. It's caramelized, and has bananas, on top. Friends had hot chocolate and a milkshake. I had a cup of coffee. Then we had pupusas. I had made of corn flour and they had made of rice flour (a variety of pupusas I just learned about. I got the bean and cheese. To explain- it's basically a homemade stuffed tortilla, which comes with red sauce andd curtido (a pickled cabbage mix). I liked it a lot. The only thing was that the pupusas took a long time to come out. Prepare to wait- long prep time. A friend also got a Salvadoran soda I had never seen before. Pretty cool.“
“Fun little hole in the wall. I am new to this cuisine and asked for suggestions. I ended up getting Ox Tail and enjoyed it. My buddy got stewed chicken and finished all of it. The highlight was the meat. Sides were good but nothing special. I want to try the beef patties next:)“
“I didn’t think Crumbl Cookie was worth the hype…I thought it was just another fad that was popular for a minute and that would not be worth the money. Boy, was I wrong! The cookies are delicious, and the weekly menu is always creative and ever-changing! I’m hooked!“
“Excellent service! She’s Boston’s cake Boss. Rebecca did my grandson’s Starwars birthday cake and as you can see it was just perfect. We gave her the vision and she made it happen. She also did my daughter’s 1st birthday cake. Not only they are absolutely beautiful but also delicious!!! She always goes above and beyond!“
“this place is SO GREAT!! super cute inside. very much high end, boutique quality at very reasonable prices. another shop cancelled on me, but B Sweets was able to pull off this beauty last minute (for far less money too). I'm so impressed with the artistry. the cakes and cupcakes are as delicious as they are pretty! super moist and flavorful. 10/10 highly recommended!!“
“I went to my local supermarket Food Lion located in VA and purchased a small piece of lemon burst square cake and it was so very delious. I spoke with the sales associate at the store and she said they didn't carry the cake in full sizes that it came from Hoffs. Needless to say I had no idea your company was in another state. I would love to order a full sheet if possible.“
“Came to Marblehead after stopping in Salem and wasn’t impressed. Marblehead is a really nice place and this cafe was the cherry on the cake ( pardon the pun) I got a chicken wrap and it was enormous and really delicious with a pickle on the side and a bag of crisps and a nice coffee.“
“Not a bad place. Overnight parking for maybe 3 trucks because employees park their cars spaced out in back of parking lot near the trucks. But they loaded me up fast no complaints! Check-in with shipper he will call you N probably put you in Door #11 have Reefer on -10 Degrees.“
“My family loves Blue Ribbon cakes, and Chris, the owner, is simply a wonderful guy. He is always so accommodating and really goes above and beyond to make sure you get exactly what you want. I like to bake, but when I don't have time or need a cake for a bigger crowd, I will always turn to Blue Ribbon!“
“This bakery is to die for. The bread melts in your mouth and the treats are so very tasty! Breakfast was awesome I highly recommend this restaurant. I can’t wait to go back and the staff was so friendly try the fresh OJ and mango smoothie yummy ??“
“A huge thanks to Cookie Monstah for the ability to rent out one of their trucks for our daughter’s and son-in-law’s Welcome Party the night before their wedding, Memorial Day weekend. They allowed for them to make their own combinations of ice cream cups/cookies and to name them - the names were based on the neighborhoods where they had lived in the North End. The service was great and the ice cream and cookies were top-notch! Thanks to Janelle for all her help in making this such a special occasion!“
“I called from NH after looking for over an hour for a last minute cupcake delivery for a VERY sick family member coming home from the hospital. Topsfeild Bake shop went above and beyond to help and deliver. Once they were delivered my family group text went on for hours as to how delicious and delighted they were with the delivery process. The photo they sent me was beyond what I expected especially for last minute. I can’t wait to stop in and buy some goodies next time I am in town!“
“I love this place go there All the time even made friends with the workers everyone is so kind and I loved the service and staff I will continue to go here and I have been coming here for years grew up with Santanas and it’s always so clean I am very impressed and my favorite things are the acai , smoothies, and any bakery item love this place ❤️“
“The best soft pretzels I've had since I was a child! Excellent service, courteous staff, and absolutely great pretzels. One suggestion for the owner is to consider making pretzels with no salt, or other toppings like onions, garlic, or everything Bagel topping.“
“Wow, wow, wow! Came here on a recommendation from a friend that works at Tendercrop Farm down the street. My husband and I were surprised to see so many cars coming in and out of the sizeable parking lot. Taking it as a good sign, we headed into the beautiful building. The line was long, but worth the wait! We grabbed a beautiful load of herb Parm sourdough, a cinnamon donut, a brioche chocolate mousse roll, ham and cheese croissant, two passion fruit tarts and two coffees. Came to a very reasonable total of $41. The coffee is great, and so far we've only tried the cinnamon donut but....WOW! It is so light and airy and delicious! Very very pleased. We were looking for a bakeshop near us ever since Bird & Wolf shutdown, and we are thrilled to find this gem that's only 10min away from our home.Only suggestion would be to possibly consider a slightly better system for order fulfillment. A single cashier who is also responsible for picking and packing everything leads to a bottleneck.Can't wait to go on a Friday night and try the dinner portion of this place. Really pleased!“
“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.“
“My boyfriend loves Italian Rum Cake- they made it from scratch & it was incredible! Everyone loved it! They can work baking wonders! Order ahead- prices are about normal for homemade but you get what you pay for and the price is well worth the quality!!! You won't be disappointed!“
“Stopped by this cute shop needing a dose of caffeine after a long flight and fighting jet lag. The service was amazing and being from out of town the baristas were so kind to tell me what was in every beverage. Ended up ordering the Nutty Bee after they told me they make all their syrups in house. The beverage wasn't too sweet and really enjoyed the nutty flavor that came through What really impressed me was how friendly the shop owner was with all the customers and how she treats her employees. She seems to be very supportive and you can tell with all of the banners she enjoys making a positive difference in the community“
