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

“Overall great food in a nice atmosphere. Busy brunch service with single line for pastries and eat in brunch orders. Cold brew was good but loaded with ice, wife's ginger summer drink was really good with a lot less ice. Lamb hash was full of flavor, but nothing exciting for brunch level with ground meat as the hash instead of pulled or shredded. Wife's muesli was delicious with fresh fruit. Counters and tables did not seem to be cleaned between patrons and we had to skip a few seats to find one clean to eat at. The brioche toast was delicious and we wish we could have grabbed some more pastries, but it would have been another 30 minutes in line.“

“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.“

“Go old school…. Get off Hanover, go up Salem, around the corner on Prince and you’ll find the real deal bakery. Incredible breads, pizza, pastries in a tiny little place that cranks out so much. No frills, just what you’d want from a real bakery.“

“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“

“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!“

“Great smoothies that you can customize“

“I didn’t hear about this place until I saw people walking around with boxes. I decided to go check them out. There were about 100 people waiting in line when I arrived. The line moved fairly quickly. It was cash only, but you can order online in advance so I chose to do that. The pasties themselves were nothing special, canollis were not fresh, donut was stale. There are better pasties in Boston, not worth the wait.“

“Hearth & Hug is a MUST anytime I’m in the city. The entire team is small but mighty and incredibly helpful and nice! Every pastry and bread is simply heavenly. 100/10 must go!!!! The freshness in every item is next to none and you can tell each item is made with the love like no other.“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 friend and put kids came here after the aquarium
The was one guy working behind the counter and boy did he kill it got busy suddenly and he was so kind and quick. The Food was awesome and there was a nice big table in the back we could all relax and hangout at? My husband has the best croissant he's ever tasted.“

“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!!“

““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.“

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.

“Bricco Panetteria is a hidden gem nestled in Boston’s North End, renowned for its artisanal breads and pastries. Located at 11 Board Alley, just off Hanover Street, this bakery is tucked down a narrow alleyway and accessed via a staircase leading to a cozy, basement-level shop. Established by restaurateur Frank DePasquale, Bricco Panetteria was created to supply fresh bread to his local restaurants. The bakery offers a selection of handcrafted breads, including olive ciabatta, prosciutto and parmesan-stuffed ciabatta, miche (a rustic rye loaf), sunflower bread, and brioche. Their pastries, such as the sfogliatella—a flaky pastry filled with sweet ricotta and citrus—are also highly praised. Note that the bakery operates on a cash-only basis.

Adjacent to Bricco Panetteria is Bricco Salumeria & Pasta Shop, another establishment by Frank DePasquale. This Italian deli specializes in homemade pastas, sauces, and a variety of imported goods, including olive oils, vinegars, and cheeses. Notably, Bricco Salumeria is acclaimed for its Italian sausages, which are made in-house using traditional spices and methods. The shop also offers made-to-order sandwiches, allowing customers to enjoy their freshly prepared meats and cheeses on the spot.   

Both establishments are part of what locals refer to as “Bricco Alley,” offering an authentic Italian culinary experience away from the bustling main streets.

We just picked up some freshly sliced prosciutto here, and it was incredible—melt-in-your-mouth tender, perfectly aged, and full of rich flavor. You can taste the quality and craftsmanship in every bite.“

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

“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..“

“The food was amazing! We had the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and the sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich both with gluten free bread. The bread was delicious and held together well. The consistency was perfect compliment. The portions were a large size as well!“

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

“Gracias por sus consejos un abrazo enorme estos fueron los resultados ! Recomendado 100%“

“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.“

“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.“

“It's bittersweet because the food is great and almost everyone that works there is polite except for the girl that wears the headphones in the pink sweatshirt at the Middleton place. she always has an attitude. she always has a look on her face like I shouldn't be here and I'm better than everybody. never says please never says thank you never responds to you when you say thank you. I will no longer go to this place this has been multiple visits that the lady has been totally unfriendly and I think it makes everyone in the room at that time very uncomfortable. 12.20.24 7:23 AM.“

“I love this bakery so much! Went here on Thursday to order an oreo cake to pick up for a birthday this Sunday and if it's as good as their bakery treats, I'm going to be so happy!!! :) their whoopie pies and yodels have perfect frosting in them!

Can't even believe some of these reviews are negative over a lot of frosting in cakes, I LOVE frosting so much and I feel like people usually put too little frosting on cakes, it's hard to believe people would complain over frosting! Yum. Cake is nothing without a thick layer of frosting. Please don't change anything, Lubertos 🙏 :)“

“Wow, I was blown away by the incredible job they did with my order! The staff is so friendly and attentive. They take the time to understand your preferences and make ordering a breeze. And guess what? Everything you order is exactly what you get! The pictures show what I asked for and what I received, and let me tell you, the taste is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend this place for fast, friendly, and accurate service. You won’t be disappointed! ❤️“

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

“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 😊“

“I stopped here as it was located inside of the marketplace, I had seen several reviews that said the cookies were amazing. I got a six variety pack and tried six different types of cookies. They were good cookies, but they weren’t anything exceptionally amazing.“

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