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

“May have had one of the BEST birthday cakes we have ever! We ordered it from out of town on a suggesting and could not have been happier with it. This Boston Cream cake was out of this world!“

“Absolutely incredible pastries that are as decadent tasting as they are gorgeous works of art. Three Michelin Stars!!!“

“Best cookies and smell good ✌🏼“

“The food on offer looked very tasty. I had the egg sandwich with salmon and their tatte house latte. The sandwich was very tasty but a little messy to eat. The latte was honey, halva and cardamom flavoured which was very pleasant and different. Overall I enjoyed my time there except when I was approached by a person asking for money and had to pack up and leave to avoid confrontation :(“

“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.“

“With the other "M" bakeries taking all the hype, this small bakery slips under the radar despite selling a whole lot of yummy stuff, including calzones and cannoli.

ETA: Came back another time and caught a kid sticking his finger in the cannoli cream in the back. Ew.“

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

“Wanted a quick breakfast on the go and this place hit the spot! The walk-up stall was busy, but the line was moving quickly. The person taking orders was friendly and efficient, and you could see the team working hard to crank out orders. They had an array of sourdough bagels, schmears, and breakfast sandwiches. I got the B Flat on Jalapeño Cheddar (a weekend special flavor) with bacon and it was very good. The sauce they use was nice and complimented the cheese and bacon well. We also took some bagels and schmear to-go for snacking later.

My only complaint is the bagels weren't as chewy as I like, but the tang from the sourdough was really pleasant! Overall, if you are in the area you can't go wrong with a bagel or bagel sandwich from Bagel Guild!“

“Please do not EVER remove the meatball parm sandwich from your menu. it would also be nice to have a better variety of music.“

“If I make it back to this area I’ll definitely be coming back here. The food was delicious, but the chai latte was my favorite. The staff was very friendly and very helpful answering any questions I had about the menu and just the area of Salem in general. Loved the atmosphere the morning I was there. It was a little busy, but there wasn’t a wait. I found a table easily, got my order quickly, and enjoyed the vibe.“

“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“

“Great smoothies that you can customize“

“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.“

“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“

“There is no seating, literally, not a single table or chair for customers in the whole building, not one. Don't even bother if you want to enjoy your pastry's there, you will have to stand and eat them. So walked a few doors down to Modern Pastry, they had great coffee drinks and basically the same pastries with seating and table service. About 40 people at Modern Pastry tonight, 2 people in Mike's, and they we kneeling on the ground eating their pastries. We saw them kneeling and we were like, nope.. I Like Mike's but with no seating in the building, this location is no longer worthy of my biz.“

“One Mighty Mill in Lynn, MA is awesome. Very clean, staff is friendly. Tony and Julio went above and beyond to make my residents feel welcome. Tony did an overview of how the mill works and answered all the questions we had. Great bagels !“

“Natalie is an amazing baker and cook. Fun to watch and very easy to learn from. Her assistant, Colin, does an impressive job too! What a wonderful team. I look forward to them being not distant in the near future🥰“

“We got the muffuletta sandwich and it was SPECTACULAR! It was a new sandwich for us…the bread was perfectly paired to the style of sandwich and fresh. The meats and cheese were delicious and the olive garnish and herbs enhanced this unique taste experience. We took the sandwich to go but the restaurant was clean and relaxed atmosphere. Friendly and fast service.“

“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!“

“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.“

““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.“

“Very beautiful store. The young woman helping me was so nice. She was so helpful in explaining the traditional Greek, Turkish, and Albanian foods. The store was put together very nice. Everything was neat and orderly. There are tables right near the windows which adds the whole atmosphere. You can sit in and relax. Have a pastry and some coffee and take it all in. I recommend the Byrek or spinach pie.Everything looked so good. They have traditional Greek Baklava. They have homemade Tzatziki . I bought a spinach pie and a lemon tart square. I recommend that everyone at least go in but be prepared to leave with no money. I cannot wait to go back and buy some Baklava and some homemade Tzatziki. There are also frozen pasta’s. Dry goods. Cheese. Pretty much you will find something good around every corner. Eva’s was recommended to me by an Albanian girl i work with. So i trust her word. Eva’s is along the lines of the food she is used to. She says to me i want to tell everyone to go to Eva’s. So that was all i needed to hear. Glad i listened.

Parking: Open parking lot. At least 15“

“love this place, been coming here since 2011. the pink cake is so sweet and delicious, so is the cheesecake bread especially when warm, and the fried sugary donut sticks with the filling in the middle. sorry I don't know the correct names for it all. recently tried their tiramisu cups and tamales- holy cow so delicious :) my boyfriend is in love with their tamales.everyone is friendly here too and I will always be a customer, I can tell they work hard!“

“cute spot in boston chinatown, quick service, and yummy pastries. in our little tour of chinatown, we wanted to stop into multiple places and try as many little things as possible. we split a small green tea moon cake and an egg tart. so delectable and cheap. bring your cash!“

“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.“

“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 😊“

“Why so much plastic?
Even if you stay at "Sorelle" to eat and drink: plastic rulez!
I don't think that's "sustainable".

There ARE porcelain mugs...but you have to SPECIFICALLY request them.

The coffee itself? Fab!
The toasts and the sandwishes: too!!“

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

“What a find! Down this non-descript passageway on Hanover St. All kinds of breads are baked here. Rumor has it that they supply a lot of Italian and upscale restaurants in the Boston area. They also have a full service shop Italian store next door along with a beautiful lounge/restaurant adjoining.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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..“

“A bakery beyond imagination! Everything here is absolutely amazing, from the fresh, flavorful cheese bread that is impossible to resist, to the beautifully decorated birthday cakes that are as delicious as they look. I recently ordered catering for my birthday, and it was just perfect. The attention to detail, delicious selection and impeccable service made the celebration truly unforgettable. If you are looking for a place that exceeds all expectations, this is the place! I highly recommend it!“

“Incredibly busy for breakfast. It was hard to find a seat. Pastries were really good. I had a breakfast croissant and it was good, but ordered the egg over easy and it wasn't runny, and the croissant was over toasted for me on the ends.“

“I’m sad I just started going to Manne’s because I wasted many years getting inferior cannolis. The plain one with the powdered sugar was a revelation, and they fill them right there in front on you. Then a week later to go back I got a cheesesteak. Are you kidding me, it was also the best cheesesteak I’ve ever had. I’m not being extra, they know what they are doing. And not pricy. I brought a few slices of their pizza and I reluctantly shared. Now I have several people who will be customers. I’m not exaggerating, Manne’s is that good.“

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

“Macaroons were delicious! The danish is exceptional and the “s” cookies made from cornmeal are my favorite“

“Please do not EVER remove the meatball parm sandwich from your menu. it would also be nice to have a better variety of music.“

“We had our grandbabies cake and cupcakes from here and we loved it. NUT FREE 100% love it“

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

“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 😊“

“Went here for some snacks during my visit. Not a huge selection on the baked goods but good enough variety that it didn't bother me. I went here because it was a gluten free option and I need that for my allergies. I had a red velet cupcake, and a sweet heavy cake plus a fruity pebbles rice crispy treat my husband had a cookie but he didn't care for it but I loved everything I had! He did loved my fruity pebbles treat! It looks so clean in here and the service was nice the guy at the register was fast and pleasent! I highly recommend you stop here if you need gluten free treats!

“I ordered alfajores for a family event, and WOW, they did not disappoint! They were presented so beautifully, that I didn’t even bother transferring them to a platter. They tasted even better than they looked, and they looked pretty great. The cookies were soft, but not falling apart, and the dulce de leche was just the right amount of sweet.

I took a star off for atmosphere because their storefront is very simple and a little cramped. However, I was in and out of there when picking my order up, so I didn’t have to spend much time in the store anyway.“

“Love it here - the staff are extremely professional and customer service oriented. It’s my go-to place to take friends when they visit from out of town.“
