“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 were visiting Boston for a few days and were staying close to Michette. We would go there every morning for breakfast and it was such a beautiful discovery. The vegan guava roll and focaccia… so so delicious! The vegan pastries made by Michette were the best ones I had so far. Thank you to the friendly and welcoming staff!“

“Fig is the best! Their takeout window basically got me through the pandemic, and I feel very lucky that this is my local. As a certified scone-hater, their blueberry scone is the best I've ever had. I recommend their lattes, smoothies, breakfast sandwiches (the cheddar cheese is SHARP), and chia pudding. Their lunch sandwiches are also great. 10/10 for staff, vibes, food, and coffee.“

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

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

My wife and I recently ordered our wedding cake from Andover Bake Shop and it came out better than we could have ever expected. It was fantastic. I highly recommend this place! Special shoutout to Mackenzie who works there, too! She's awesome! Thank you Andover Bake Shop!“

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“

“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!“

“Was in the area for a convention and happily stumbled onto Colette's. The ladies working the counter were very pleasant and helpful. The croissants we purchased were absolutely delicious, while the macarons were great as well. Street parking was a bit of a challenge but worth the effort. Definitely would stop again if we are in the area.“

“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!“

“The best buttercream frosting and most delicious cakes 😋 we get as many birthday cakes as we can from Sweet Spot! I call every year on my own birthday for a custom, big version of their “icicle”…and if you haven’t tried one, omg you need to! Friendly staff, yummy treats, beautifully decorated desserts…cannot be beat!!!“

“Great smoothies that you can customize“

“Grilled cheeses!! So good!“

“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!“

“I stopped my Butternut Bakehouse the day before Easter and it was incredibly busy (which was amazing). I picked up a dozen pastries which were all amazing and my family raved about them. But I also got a breakfast sandwich and a cold brew and the cold brew with cold foam was absolutely amazing. The breakfast sandwich was simple but also perfection. Everything seemed like there was so much thought that went into each thing. They have a lot of indoor seating, too!“

“Cupcakes!! These are amazing and the prettiest cupcakes ever! Huge hit in the office. Exceeded expectations!“

“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!!“

“The donuts are tasty, but I was hoping for a wider variety. The service was quick, which is great when you're in a rush, but I wish they had more unique flavors to choose from. Still worth a stop if you're craving something sweet!“

“Always a nice place to have a really good breakfast and just relax and chat . I a have always liked how Hansi & staff,takes great care to make you all feel welcomed. He and all workers so hard to please you and I love Lox and Eggs and not many places make that any more . Lunch is always excellent and fresh. I love it and love it that it is local great service always . Thank you ,you must try it really Good“

“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!“

“i recommend the Arepas de Chocolo“

“Love our local bakery!
This local bakery is such a gem to our little town. The staff here is friendly. Their bread and pastry is very tasty. We particularly enjoy their Mocha chocolate cake and their warm mushroom croissant.
Their food is made right in the store, which is a sure way to get it fresh!

Love this place and strongly recommend!!“

“We were visiting from out of town and were recommended by a friend to try this cafe out. It was absolutely amazing. The prices were extremely reasonable and the pastries themselves were fantastic. They looked incredible and tasted wonderful. I was able to get a decent London Fog in Boston (which is something I had a hard time finding). I got a coffee bean pastry which had an amazing chocolate/coffee mousse flavor (and texture)! My son got a cinnamon roll which he loved. My other son was having a hard time choosing and the person behind the counter was so sweet and gave him a cream filled pastry that they had extras of. This cafe is high end, but without the high end price tags. If I’m ever in Boston again, I will definitely come back. 1000% would recommend.“

“Best gluten free doughnuts I have ever had!!“

“Our family has been lucky to snatch preorders twice so far and everything we have tried has been amazing (bread flight, cookies, and muffins). I’m so excited this baker is in our town and am looking forward to seeing how she grows over time. I am very impressed with how much she offers out of her own home, while juggling so many other responsibilities! Truly amazing!“

“Every thing made is fresh and delicious and so many things to choose cookie pastry pies cup cakes beautiful cakes and so many more just visit the bakery and see for yourself self and thank you too the baker JERRY Robert the owner and the girls that decorate 👍“

“Wow! I had Arlington Bakery send Tsoureki and cookies to Texas . They got there quickly and in one piece the recipient could stop raving about the products . I want to thank you for sending this special Easter treat .“

“Cute traditional bakery with great selection and service! High quality food and the authenticity speaks for itself. Unpopular opinion, but I think the cash only makes the experience feel even more traditional and old school in the best way. Will definitely be back again!“

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

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

“Love them!!! Been going here for decades, and they have never disappointed me. Regardless who is working that counter! The best bagels in Massachusetts!!! And don’t forget to try their hotdog & pizza bagels. You’ll thank me later 😊“

“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!“

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