“the food was delicious, the staff was very kind and professional, and we just enjoyed our time there. Thank you“

“If you haven't been to the new location of Fresh AF, you need to run, don't walk!! Everything you get will be amazing!! I have been twice in 2 days- and this will just be my review for today! I finally was able to get some pictures before we ate it all! First, the new place is beautiful. Taryn did a great job, to create a warm, and welcoming place. Everyone is friendly, even when there are lines- which yes, sometimes there are- they move very quickly, the staff is excellent, and they move everyone along quickly. The cases are filled with mouthwatering sweet and savory treats, from croissants, hand pies, cupcakes, to tarts, to macarons, to donut pops, and multiple rotating items. New introductions in the grab and go section I have tried today, and can vouch for! On today's list of goodies, I bought us, a potato skin hand pie- oh my. You will want more than one!! So incredibly good- it is like a twice baked potato, with bacon, cheese, chives and some sour cream on top of a croissant like crust. (I am not a baker so forgive me for my non technical terms))! I also bought a veggie hand pie, and a Fenway hand pie- sausage, peppers, and onions. Yum! The strawberry shortcake stuffed donut was to die for! It was devoured in less than 3 minutes by us. The homemade whipped cream is ridiculously good! I lied- I will also tell you about the trifles that I have bought on my past 2 weekends. The first weekend was a strawberry shortcake (?) trifle, and last weekend a blueberry cheesecake trifle. Oh. My. God. There went the diet. The whipped cream did me in. Lastly, I bought the chopped Italian salad with burrata. It is so good!! That was my dinner today, it was so filling, and oh, and the burrata with the hot pepper jam on it was just fantastic!! Seriously, I am so happy she moved to Plaistow! This place is AMAZING!! *Just to note, this review is a few weeks old, it is my Yelp Review :) However, I can add my Quiche from this morning was outstanding!!!!“

“We can’t get enough of this place. We chose Chickadee Hill for our wedding cake, and we got a mini replica cake for our one year anniversary. No need to keep the top of the original cake in a freezer for the year when they can make you a fresh one. This Valentine’s Day they were selling cupcakes and other sweets. We got 6 cupcakes, 2 of them being our wedding cake flavor, and some chocolate covered strawberries. They also sold individual chocolate covered strawberries in cute containers that our kids loved. I definitely recommend this place. Always delicious, and excellent customer service as well!“

“It was a pleasure to partner with the Baker's Rack on a fundraising event that I held last Saturday. The cookies are not only beautiful but they are delicious as well. My little dancers were super excited to receive a cookie after class and gobbled them right up. Thank you Rachel! Wonderful cookies!“

“So worth the drive!!! My friend and I drove all the way from Bangor Maine to try them and they definitely did not disappoint!!! The perfect treat the balance of sweetness was spot on, my kids loved them as well! We will definitely be making another trip back for sure“

“I got 2 Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecakes & a Cookies & Cream Tres Leches Cake. (I always share with my parents.) Omg! PHENOMENAL!!! I honestly can't tell you the last time I had such an incredible piece of chocolate cake. I'd post a pic of it, but I destroyed that thing as soon as I got home. So, here's a half of the 2nd cheesecake. I feel like there should've been a wee bit more panache, but it was superb nonetheless!“

“Livi has done two amazing cakes and cupcakes for me. Each time the designs have come out perfect and exactly what I asked for. They also taste amazing!!“

“I have tried several items and all have been fantastic, the quality, ingredients as well as the effort in baking shines through, my go to for Blueberry Scones, Apple Cider donuts and Bread Pudding. Give it a try you won't be disappointed 👌👌👌😀😀😀 Thank you 1790 Resident Baker“

“Very very good prob the best bakery in New England“

“The Baby Shower cake was superb. Everyone asked where we bought it. I told them about your move from Salem on Rt 28 to Windham, everyone had a generous slice and took extra home with them. The taste, was above many other cakes I have ever bought other places. We were very pleased with the choice made to order the cake from your establishment. Thank you very much! Will return for future orders and I'm sure many people who had a slice at the party will surely frequent your Bakery, they were all very pleased. Great job, the cake was a hugh hit!!!“

“Just moved to the area and tried a few different bakeries. Sugar Love was prompt, friendly, informative, and most importantly easy to order from and communicate with! Will be our regular bakery. The shop is very cute, easy to find and has parking right in the front. We ordered a pie and cake. The cake is decorated beautifully. The to go containers were sturdy and easy to transport our purchases. Thank you!“

“Had a great experience on Harry Potter day! They did such great work with all their items and decorations!“

“Because it's L&M.. The best!“

“Happy Ber months!!! It’s just appropriate to post this Filipino delicacies that is usually sold during this “ber” months in preparation for the Christmas season. Bringing back memories. Hands down the best bibingka in town! You know it when I say it’s really good. My personal fave in Lauren's Sweet Shop selection. Pair it with some coffee ☕️ ahhh heaven!!! #nostalgia Mars you hit the nail on it’s head with this recipe!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Wena approves 😉👍🏼“

“Ordered a German Chocolate Cake and it was delicious. It was fresh baked, extremely moist, and looked amazing. The absolute best cake we have had in years!“

“I've been going here for 15 years and it's consistently been a great experience. One of the only places in the mall where you can feel good about what you ate and it also tastes great! Love the Smoked Salmon and the Tuscany, or the Sicily Pranzo with tomato sauce.“

“Wonderful lunch with great company!!“

“their pies are fabulous they're breads are out of this world they're pastries their cookies you can't go wrong but I will tell you I just had the best piece of a strawberry chocolate drizzled cheesecake that I've ever had in my life absolutely phenomenal“

“Now that Drop Cafe is firmly established, and doing such great things,this is my second review: Drop Cafe is my favorite cafe, hands down. That’s in comparison to a lot of great cafes on the east coast, west coast, Europe and the Middle East. Drop Cafe does it like no other! And is right here in Haverhill MA!“

“I did not try their Pizza here but I did have a few items from the bakery and I got to tell you it is some fantastic food at that bakery. I chose multiple items and everything was fantastic. There's also a Dunkin donuts built in along with a convenience store so it's an all-in-one shop. But again the star of the show is the bakery“

“Great coffee, amazing food, super friendly staff!“

“As someone who had gastric bypass surgery over five years ago and struggles with hypoglycemia, this place is an absolute lifesaver. I was able to get treats and able to actually savor them today without getting sick. I was able to get cupcakes for my daughter‘s birthday, which I will actually be able to enjoy for the first time in a long time without the fear of being sick. Their staff was so kind and helpful, answering all my questions about how to store the cupcakes for a party next week, the flavors they had and about the cookie flavors. I’ll be back again soon for more, because for me this is not just 30 mins away from me; this gives me freedom to be able to enjoy some types of sweets again.“
