“I wish Bova's Bakery are coming in Oroville, California“

“Over the past 4 months or so I have called with various questions, mostly having to do with your chicken pies. Every time I have called the person who answered my call was able to answer my questions quickly and politely. I appreciate the efficient service as that seems to be a rarity these days. Thank you so much.“

“I am a huge fan of key lime pie and have sampled it at pretty much every opportunity. Each time, I find something that isn’t an A+. The crust is too grainy or crumbly, the bakery has added meringue (which I like on lemon but not lime), or—and this is the most common offender—there is entirely too much lime in the recipe. But the key lime pie I had at Caramel was exceptional in every possible way, especially in its balance of lime flavor. I didn’t try anything else there, so I can’t vouch for the macarons or other goodies, but if you love key lime pie, RUN to this bakery!“

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

“The best Italian food in the North End! I ate their pizza for breakfast at 10 AM! Best pizza I ever had. Most delicious sauce and mozzarella from heaven. And the owners are the kindest people. They allowed me to park my commercial vehicle temporarily in their parking spot out front so I could unpack a 10’ truck in the pouring rain - we were staging a property across the street. - Home Staging by Abigail“

“Best bake shop in Massachusetts..“

“My favorite bagel with lox - perfect every time!“

“This was my second time at Tatte, and it was just as good as the first! We ordered the shakshuka and the halloumi sandwich, and both were absolutely delicious. The pistachio latte was amazing, so flavorful and perfectly made. I’ll definitely be back to try their desserts, because they look incredible!
Update: I came back and tried the vanilla lime Krembu, it was delicious!“

“Best sandwiches and great service! The chicken in their greek salad was so good.“

“Do not miss this spot if you are visiting Salem. We had treats from our Air B&B which caused us to go in person. Everything was lovely, delicious and fresh. Customer service was fantastic. We had croissants, a bagel sandwich, fresh bread, the most amazing cookies and, my favorite, the spinach and leek puff with everything seasoning. The coffee was great too. Thanks so much!“

“The team at Levain Bakery helped make my son's 16th birthday extra special, and I'm so grateful! Sixteen can be such a hard age to celebrate in a way that feels meaningful, but they completely delivered. From the beginning, they were so easy to communicate with and genuinely cared about making his day memorable. Though mom wasn't cool enough to tag along, they kindly sent videos showing just how happy and special he felt. It's clear they put real heart into what they do, and their warmth and attention to detail turned a simple bakery visit into a cherished birthday memory. Thank you for going above and beyond!“

“Love this place. The coffee is delicious and I love the different muffins offered. I just recently tried the western egg sandwiches on an everything bagel. We also came in to try the pizzas. Delicious!! Will be back for more!!“

“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“

““Pure Pastry” was highly recommended by “Cakes for Occasions” because they couldn’t make a Vegan cake. So I called and asked Kim to make my son who is a Vegan an all Vegan birthday cake. We were all pleasantly surprised at how delicious and moist his chocolate cake was with vanilla cream frosting with strawberries in the middle and on top was. Five people ate this cake and we all loved the taste. It looked beautiful too. Another thing I also love about this bakery is the cake box. The cake fit in the box very nicely and on the top you could see the cake through a see through film which was an elegant touch. My son’s cake was so good that I had to order a Vegan strawberry vanilla cake for my birthday too. I can’t wait to get it. Kim is so very friendly and such a nice person and she is very easy to get a hold of on the phone. I very highly recommend Kim and “Pure Pastry” for all of your pastry needs.“

“Overall great pastry, exception was sausage roll. Very large roll with one pinkie finger sized piece of sausage tucked in the middle. Def not worth $5“

“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!!“

“Great cannolis here! But not as strong as another option in the area in my opinion. They do offer more flavors than other shops in the area (pro), but we found the shells less crispy (con). The atmosphere is a bit cold inside, as well, as they do not have any seating to enjoy your goodies in the cafe - and seem to almost usher you out of the cafe by wrapping your box of pastries up with string and tying immediately. We did not get the same ‘family-owned’, warm vibe that some of the other pastry shops offered. Service was very friendly regardless. Definitely worth a trip if you’d like to try a unique flavor of cannoli!“

“I was not prepared for how good a popover sandwich would be. Even at closing time, the food was extremely fresh and delicious! I need to come back and try more things on the menu.“

“Great smoothies that you can customize“

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

“Perfect little gift or treat no one returns..♥️“

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

“Great food selection and reasonable prices. The first pic on google is a different bakery from the others. They’re right next to each other, but the first pic (it’s the left one in the building) was cash only the last time I visited. The sesame balls are so good, definitely come here if you’re looking for something sweet. I think it’s run by one person! The food is definitely the real deal.“

“My mom and son love the fresh lobster rolls! Luisa, thank you so much for taking such great care of them! Please support this local business and treat yourself to a perfect New England lunch!“

“Still as good as ever. Stopped by after a show in Boston and they had loads of delicious buns to pick from at amazing prices. After a decade and a half, they're still my favorite place in Chinatown to go.“

“Muy buena comida me encanta el servicio excelente lo recomiendo“

“We had a small get together at Bits and bites cafe.. The staff was so courteous and knowledgeable.. breakfast and sweet treats were top notch. Please consider Bits and Bites for your next cafe, you won’t be disappointed!“

“Fine pastries made by chef Sharif and his team… great espresso with a French vibe all the way down to the bistro chairs and marble top tables situated in a picturesque cobblestone alley overhung by ivy and beautiful trees. Portsmouth’s greatest hidden gem that everyone seems to know about.“

“Es un lugar muy lindo, es un pedacito de Colombia en USA, recomendadisimo. todo es delicioso.“

“My daughter & I stopped here on a recommendation and so happy we did ! Fantastic service and great food …. Best avocado toast we’ve ever had and the soft pretzel was sooo good ! We also liked the selection of unique gifts they sold too 😊“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Simply wonderful!
The service is impeccable—the staff are always very friendly, attentive, and quick to respond. You feel like they care about each customer.
All the products are fresh, made daily, with that delicious aroma of freshly baked bread. The breads, cakes, and savory treats have a homemade flavor that makes all the difference. You'll want to try everything! Especially the carrot cake with that wonderful ( calda de chocolate)😋😋😋.
Another very positive point is the cleanliness. The environment is very well-kept, organized, and pleasant for those who want to have a coffee on the spot or take something home.
Definitely a bakery that's a pleasure to visit. I recommend it wholeheartedly! Keep it up!

“Cute panetteria tucked in a north end alley. Bakers and big bags of flour visible right when you step in - thats how you know it’s legit! Got a prosciutto and parm baguette, lots of goodies sprinkled throughout. Sfogliatella was a little hard, but once you get used to the texture, the flakes and filling combine very well.“

“Best sandwiches and great service! The chicken in their greek salad was so good.“

“We have been getting my twins’ cakes from Blue Ribbon for TWENTY ONE YEARS! They’ve been positively perfect every time. I’m about to order them again for next week! Thank you Chris!“

“Loved the cake … beautiful and it was a big hit. !!!“

“Omg I’m blown away at the m&m cookie I just tried. This M&M cookie is perfection — soft, buttery, packed with chocolate, and baked just right with crisp edges and a gooey center. Pure nostalgia, executed flawlessly. Honestly impossible to stop at one“

“the have the best family owned business,thank you for not running out of eastie like every one else.“

“i recommend the Arepas de Chocolo“

“SE LA RECOMIENDO A TODO EL MUNDO. EL PRODUCTO ELABORADO POR SU PERSONAL ES SABROSO Y A PRECIO DE BOLSILLO. VISITENLO Y SE DARAN CUENTA DE LA VARIEDAD Y EL SABOR DE SUS PRODUCTOS..“

“Visited from North Carolina in September and was completely blown away by how delicious the doughnuts here are. Best small business-made doughnuts I’ve ever had in my life, no exaggeration.“

“the food is amazing! I drive 1.5 hrs just to get bags of traditional Colombian Empanadas and a bag full of amazing Pastries! you must swing by when you are going to the airport or shopping down the road at assembly Square. they are the best and the staff puts up with me when I attempt to speak Spanish with them.“

“I needed something special for a friend's birthday. Lisa helped me and she and Lulu's are outstanding!! The cupcakes were delicious, the presentation was beautiful and the customer service is as good as it gets!!“

“I stopped by Sorelle Bakery & Cafe near Boston’s Financial District, and it felt like a perfect little spot for a quick breakfast or coffee break. The café has a relaxed neighborhood vibe, with people grabbing coffee on their way to work or sitting down for a casual lunch.

I ordered a coffee and a breakfast sandwich, and both were fresh and satisfying. The bakery also has a good selection of pastries, muffins, scones, soups, salads, and sandwiches, making it a convenient place for either breakfast or a light lunch.

The service was quick and friendly, which makes sense since many customers are office workers from nearby buildings. The atmosphere is simple and comfortable—nothing fancy, but a nice place to relax for a few minutes in the middle of a busy downtown area.

Overall, Sorelle Bakery & Cafe is a solid choice if you want good coffee, fresh pastries, and a quick, casual meal while exploring or working in downtown Boston“

“There is a variety of bread that is most similar to Salvadoran bread and it is good but I don't like that the customer serves themselves and there are customers who are not very clean and try to reach for the bread that is placed at the back and that way they drag themselves past. sleeve of his jacket the bread that is placed on the edge, that is, in front and I don't like that. In my opinion, it should be the store saleswoman who delivers the bread to customers so that it is cleaner this way.“

“great customer service and a lot of new items.a true hidden gem in peabody“

“Incredible Bakery!! Everything was Delicious! Coffee was excellent! We HIGHLY recommend!!!“

“It sounds crazy to say a breakfast sandwich was your favorite meal on a trip... until you try the ones at Crave!
The poblano crema really made the sandwich and we enjoyed adding the pumpkin spice to the hot chocolate... delicious!
I can't wait to go back next year!“
