Dessert Restaurants near Saugus, MA

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

“I have to stop by Chip City when I catch a game at the TD Garden! It’s so worth breaking my diet for these phenomenal, fresh, and delicious cookies! CC is one of the best cookie shops in Boston! Their cookies are seriously baked with perfection! Customer service is always great too! Thank you CC!“

“Somehow my girlfriend and I can always find the stomach space for dessert here if we’re in the area. I would hesitate to suggest any dessert here even ones I haven’t tasted because the quality we’ve experienced so far have been so good.

Food: The shaved ice was the dessert that brought us in and the one we go back because the ice is so fluffy and the combination of sweetness and texture makes it so easy to finish. But everything else we’ve tried even dishes completely new to us were a serious treat.

Service: Staff is always welcoming and pleasant and really do a great job keeping the place clean especially with all the sticky foods.

Atmosphere: The shop really captures childish joy where you can just dig in and devour some sweets. The anime and the figures also give you endless things for your eyes to wonder off to.“

“I made a custom order for my anniversary with my wife. Lavender honey is flavorful and yet not too sweet. Tamy is friendly and makes the ordering process so easy!“

“Tucked just off the steady rhythm of Commonwealth Avenue, Kyo Matcha doesn’t announce itself loudly. It doesn’t need to. The space is small, almost deliberately so—light wood, clean lines, a quiet hum of conversation. It feels less like a destination and more like a pause. The kind of place you slip into between obligations, not to indulge extravagantly, but to recalibrate.

The dessert arrives without theatrics: a swirl of matcha and milk soft serve, crowned and partially engulfed by glossy black boba. But what looks simple quickly turns layered, almost architectural in its contrasts. The soft serve itself is restrained—this is not the aggressively sweet, artificial matcha that dominates so many menus. The green tea carries a gentle bitterness, clean and slightly grassy, grounded by the mellow sweetness of the milk base. It’s balanced, deliberate, and, importantly, adult.

Then there’s the boba. Still warm.

That detail changes everything.

The pearls sit beneath and along the side of the ice cream, their heat slowly bleeding into the cold cream, creating a shifting boundary between temperatures. Each bite becomes unstable in the best way: cold turns lukewarm, creamy meets elastic chew, sweetness deepens and then recedes. The boba itself is soft without collapsing, with just enough resistance to remind you it was cooked moments ago. It’s not a topping—it’s a counterpoint.

What makes this dessert work is not novelty, but tension. Temperature against temperature. Bitterness against sugar. Airy softness against dense chew. Nothing dominates; everything negotiates.

In a city where dessert often leans toward excess—more sugar, more toppings, more spectacle—Kyo Matcha feels almost corrective. It strips things back, focuses on texture, on flavor integrity, on proportion. The portion isn’t oversized. The space isn’t loud. And that restraint is precisely the point.

It’s the kind of place you go when you don’t want to be overwhelmed—just quietly reminded that even something as simple as ice cream and tea can still surprise you, if done with care.“

“love visiting the Jamaica Plain store! Since the weather has been getting warmer, I've gone a few times this month and have to say the staff is amazing. They are very warm, friendly, patient, and have great insight on all the flavors and products. Because of them I found my favorite Fomu flavor. It was Rose Lavender but I was introduced to Lemon Meringue, tart lemon ice cream (coconut base), with graham cracker crust and yummy vegan marshmallow! It was so tasty I went back a second (and third) time to buy a point. Don't miss this flavor and the wonderful staff (surprisingly calm and chill even under pandemic pressure). Can't wait to see what next month's flavors are!“

“I have visited this Crumbl location many times, and every visit has been such a great experience. The employees are always so kind, welcoming, and professional. Even though it’s clear they have many responsibilities and the pace can be very fast, they handle everything so well and still take the time to greet customers warmly. I really appreciate how clean and well-kept the store always is—it shows the pride and effort they put into their work. On top of that, the cookies are consistently delicious, fresh, and beautifully made. This location truly stands out, and it’s clear the team goes above and beyond to make sure every customer has a positive experience.“

“Best Crumbl experience yet 🍪 All thanks to the lovely sales associate, who was so genuinely welcoming and friendly! He went the extra mile to make sure my cookies were safe and secure as I would be flying them over later that day. I unfortunately didn't get his name but was there at 10:00. Please make sure he gets the recognition he deserves! ⭐️“

“I went to the store a random day just to buy a box of cookies, I received an excellent service from a Venezuelan 🇻🇪 guy who was working that day! He presented me the box with the cookies inside with a really exciting and professional attitude. Love to see people who actually like their jobs!! 😁“

“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 was back visiting home since I moved to Sweden a few years back and my friend brought me by this place. Amazing! The cookies are big, but they are well balanced so they aren’t overly sweet. The outer layer has a good crunch, and they get softer and goer towards the center. The cosmic brownie cookie was a better version of a childhood classic. The brookie was a tasty take on the hybrid dessert.

The chocolate chip cookie, I have to say thank you because they really did have a good ratio of chocolate chip to cookie. Often times bakers will pack in chocolate chips/chunks to the point that it may as well be a chocolate bar and not a cookie. This one had a good ratio where the cookie and chocolate balanced each other nicely.

I only wish I had an opportunity to go back before flying back to Sweden.“

“I went back with a friend, reluctantly after bad experience with Emily the manager, and was greeted with the warmest, friendliest smile by an Divine an employee there! She showed me how to order, recommended some delicious cookies, and helped me sign up for the Crumble Cookie rewards! She even engaged with my child and my niece with special needs! They loved her so much they asked can they move there...lol! Thank you for an amazing experience Divine!“

“These are excellent cookies! They're fresh and warm when you buy them. They have an extremely wide variety of specialty cookies with different compositions and flavors. The specialty cookies available change regularly so there's a lot of different types to try.“

“I just bought some of this because I'm trying to lose weight but I still want a treat. I'm eating the lemon Italian ice right now and it is one of the best things I've ever had in my life. This stuff is amazing!!! I never thought anyone would ever convert me from ice cream but I think you just did it.
I keep saying this is so good... This is so good... I sound like a lunatic. 😂“

“Delicious fresh authentic Liège waffles! Service was friendly and fast , highly recommended !!“

“Excellent service! I highly recommend Le Macaron Boston. Their pastries are not only delicious but are served in a very clean and welcoming environment. A must go to!“

“I recently ordered from Crumbl in Woburn for the 10th time this year. I love the Dubai brownie. This is a convenient location which is near restaurants and other stores to shop. It can get busy at times especially on Friday nights, but the staff is nice.“

“Food is delicious and the place is immaculate. The employees are very courteous and efficient“

“Love this spot, the waffle is a must! It’s so big and fluffy get it if you are a party of 2 or more since it’s huge! Yummy WAFFLE!

Strawberry Ice Cream Waffle: 10000/10
Traditional Regular Milk 0
Ambience: Spacious, Clean, Restrooms“

“An Amazing overall experience. I told the lady working the counter that this was for a professor of mine and she went above and beyond in order to make sure that the cannolis stay in the box and can make it through a flight. She was very kind, respectful, and understanding. I definitely recommend checking out this specific branch just because of the staff. They're quick, efficient, and will do anything to make your experience there pleasant.“

“Had the totally turtle on a home made waffle cone. Very very good and a good price too!! Awesome ice cream“

“Great experience overall. There was a slight mix-up with my order for 12 macaron flavors—I received two sets of the same 6. However, the staff was very helpful and professional in resolving the issue. They handled it promptly and with a great attitude. The macarons were delicious, and I appreciate how well they managed the situation.“

“Warm and inviting spot with friendly staff. The grass jelly soup with taro was perfect on a cold day—sweet, herbal, and authentic. The boba tofu was excellent—chewy and not too sweet. Likely an even better experience if you're familiar with these traditional desserts. Highly recommend for a comforting treat!“

“Insomnia Cookies is my go-to spot whenever I’m craving something sweet late at night. The cookies are usually warm, soft in the middle, and super satisfying — especially the classics like Chocolate Chunk and Snickerdoodle. When they’re fresh out of the oven, they really hit the spot.

That said, the experience can be a little inconsistent. During busy hours, wait times get long, and delivery can sometimes show up colder than expected. Prices are on the higher side as well, especially if you’re ordering multiple items or adding ice cream.

Overall, though, it’s a fun late-night treat with a great variety of flavors, and the convenience is hard to beat. When they’re warm and fresh, they’re absolutely worth it.“
