“Best croissants and berliners in Massachusetts.“

“A friend brought one over to us today! It was the perfect dinner for a chilly Saturday night! So yummy!“

“Always delicious! Love seeing them at all town events too.“

“I love the bagels here, very rare to find bagels this fluffy in MA. The staff is also so nice. It’s a trip for me to come here but it’s worth it in my opinion. Last time I dined in and also ordered a hot chocolate. I was waiting for it to cool down when a staff came and actually brought me another hot chocolate cause he said he noticed this one came out better. Who does that! That was so nice and shows how much the staff cares.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Cranberry Pecan Roll is out of this world.“

“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!“

“Hosted a graduation party for my son. We used the catering service for the food. It was easy peasy to order , the food was delicious it was delivered on time and set up for us. The 40 people who attended left stuffed with the food and the great cake. I highly recommend that if you need catering, want great food and service this is the place to use“

“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“

“Best bakery and cafe around!“

“The best cake I have ever had! Susan will make you anything you dream of! It tastes just as good as it looks! My Baby shower cake was the most talked about at the party! If your looking for a cake for any occasion whether big or small Please give her a call you will not be disappointed! She exceeds expectations for every occasion! Birthday, Weddings, Graduation, Showers, even dessert cakes or cupcakes. Cake is the answer!“

“My daughter’s wedding cake was absolutely delicious. From the communication to the finished product, it was a great experience and they certainly have earned our family’s business. Sometimes you attend a wedding and they are trying to send cake home with everyone, there was nothing left to send. The guests loved it and most importantly, so did the bride and groom. Couldn’t thank them more! Wonderful job!!“

“I love When Pigs Fly bread! My favs are the Oat and Honey, 6 Grain and Pumpkin Seed, and basically any of the sweet breads! The English Muffin loaf is good too.

The staff are all super kind and helpful. I saw some negative reviews on here that find fault with the service, and to them I say: hello? Are you okay? If you can’t get through a bread order (which should be a simple, short interaction I’d say??) without beefing with a staff member, I invite you to consider that *you* might be the problem. :)“

“Excellence in baking and customer service! Must try everything!“

“Candice fit me in last minute, took my ideas and went with it! The cookies came out amazing and I couldn’t be more thankful for her fitting me in! (Fire academy graduation cookies)“

“It’s a great place! Tried the ham and cheese croissant here—impressive quality. You can tell it’s made using proper lamination technique: the dough has beautifully defined layers, light and flaky. The coffee was well-balanced with a smooth finish. A solid spot if you appreciate well-crafted pastries and good coffee.“

“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!“

“Best cake ever!!!! :) Always amazing!!!“

“This is hands down the best Italian deli I’ve ever been to! The chicken cutlets were to DIE for. The two subs were absolutely amazing. Customer service was top notch. I live 40 minutes away and will be making this a monthly stop for sure. The premade meals section was drool worthy! And the BREAD…. I could have ate three loafs alone. I never make reviews really but this place deserves it!!!!! Don’t walk…. RUN!“

“Great smoothies that you can customize“

“One of my favorite places on the North Shore! The muffins are absolutely amazing! The staff is always friendly and efficient and the ice coffee is delicious as well! Nothing beats their carrot cake muffin! Already looking forward to coming back soon!“

“10/10 customer service! They made a minor mistake with my last order but were quick to fix it!
Super friendly & helpful!
This is my favorite location in the Boston area! And their cookies are always perfect!!! 💓☺️“

I sent the bakery a photo of desired cake interior, it was perfect. she made my grandson's 3rd birthday wonderful for him“

“Today I stop by this place for my first time and I’m already loving it. The 🍞 is out of this world!!!“

“I was just in the mood for some Brazilian type pastries for lunch, and looked it up on Yelp! My daughter and I drove from Woburn to Somerville and ordered an assortment of goods... You know when you experience something that takes you back to your childhood?? This was it for me...the ambience, the friendliness, and the flavors. Me, my daughter and my inner child drove home with smiles on our faces with food for my wife and my mother to enjoy!!! Amazing! We’ll be back soon!“

“I can’t stop thinking about the egg cheddar I got. I eat eggs almost every day and this is one of the best egg and cheese sandwiches I’ve had. I love the spicy touch of the harissa, what a great addition.
Mocha was also good! Very cozy atmosphere“

“Thank you so much for delivering produce during the pandemic! You guys rock.“

“Picked up some excellent (very reasonably priced) Portuguese bread loaf earlier today.

Will drop by for some additional breads to take away tomorrow too.

Good service!

Curiously, was told not to take pictures inside the store, even when I mentioned that I will pit up a Google review - of their excellent breads. My son in law, who had accompanied me shared a couple he had taken inside the establishment

Obrigada!! For the excellent breads.“

“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“

“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!“

“One of the few favorites left that has been around my whole life. And it’s still the same. ♥️“

“Spinach and Berry salad is good“

“The breads especially the sub rolls and other delicious thing they make are really well portioned much bigger than most. the atmosphere is welcoming and homey feeling.
