The absolute worst small business to deal with in an area flooding with bakeries. Management is an embarrassment to the company, they are the rudest people you will ever deal with. Their cakes are cute but they are not the top of line delicious and it’s not worth dealing with the horrible customer service. Will never recommend this bakery or ever buy from them again.

Delicious food and great service! I recommend getting there early, the best stuff is in high demand. They were great for pre-orders of cakes for our party.

My family has bought from Lyndells for generations. They’ve recently changed ingredients for things to cut costs and it’s disgraceful. I ordered 3 dozen cupcakes for a 40th bday party and the frosting was clearly made with crisco instead of butter and the piping was sloppy. Cake was dry, I could tell it had been made ahead, frozen and then pulled out for an order. Normally I wouldn’t even leave a review, just accept my disappointment and move along - but - for a bakery that is so near and dear to many, it would have been nice to see them uphold the standard they set so long ago. On top of that, the tone of the woman who took the phone order was basically that she couldn’t care whether I lived or died. I’ve lived in Boston my whole life and can deal with bad attitudes if the food is good, but I won’t be back.

My mother bought a cake for my birthday and it was DELICIOUS! I love chocolate on chocolate cake and this was amazing. So rich and moist, this has to be my favorite cake in a long time.
The inside is a blast from the past, from the old school number queue to the glass cases and the foot operated twine machine, it reminds me of the old bakeries you just don’t see anymore.
There’s parking in the back if needed. The staff is friendly and attentive. I’ll definitely be back to try more.

Just all right nothing to right home about

Such a good little local bakery. My favorite thing to get is the chocolate glazed donut. It's crunchy, but soft, not too sweet, just perfect. Pretty much every pastry I've tried has been great. The prices are mind blowingly cheap as well.

The small pastries are delicious and better than those “trendy” bakeries—you know which ones I'm talking about, lol. BUT I was disappointed in the vanilla and chocolate frosting cake I ordered for a birthday. The cake was dry!! And there was way too much frosting
. The quality didn't justify the price point.

We had an incredible experience with our custom cake. The staff worked with me to understand my vision and create a truly perfect cake. It was so special and I can’t thank the bakery staff enough!
