“My wife and I found this place in late 2022, and were about to order our 6th cake with them since. They are so above and beyond and very gracious. The cakes are like art work and they have such creativity. You live locally to the northshore and particularly the Beverly- Salem area.. this is the place to make your desserts.“
“Pure Pastry is and always will be a part of our big moments in life. Pure Pasty has been at our wedding, our baby shower, all of our birthdays and all of our holidays. We look forward to Pure Pastry being at every event. I have celiac disease and my husband does not. We have had gluten free and non gluten free desserts. Everything from this company is delicious, unique and beautiful. No matter who you speak with from Pure Pastry everyone is kind and willing to help you.“
“The food is so yummy! As someone who is gluten and dairy free, it's great to know I have this place to go for Mediterranean food. The owners are so kind and actually took butter out of the rice because of dairy allergies! Highly recommend.I usually take my food to go, so I can't comment much on atmosphere other than it's clean and spacious.Dietary restrictions: They have options for gluten and dairy free customers“
“This is a gem of a vegan "earthy" restaurant one would expect to find in a "University" or college town location like Amherst or Orono. It has this type of great "energy" to it. It is healthy & delish eats, no matter wat anyone's dietary preferences are, having said that, the vegans and veggies amongst us, will be in 7th heaven. The menu is eclectic and offers very Great fare (too much to list, just glance over their online menu). Personally adhering to preferably fermented foods for my own gut health at my age, was pleasantly surprised at their Buffalo wrap featuring Tempe, it was absolutely delish and I'm going bak to order this plus try a lot more of their varied menu.. tip: if U're really hungry, order 2 of your selection, U will enjoy it , tht much!!Vegetarian options: Vegan options abound! This is a truly delish vegan fare eatery!Dietary restrictions: Tell them, they'll accomodate!!Parking: Side parking lot on the side of this eatery, it's free.“
“Went in for breakfast today and picked up the cake for my fiances birthday. They were super busy, but the staff got everyone through quickly. Coffee and breakfast sandwiches were tasty, loved the bagels. We cut the cake tonight, it was moist and delicious. I barely got a pic because my sweetie was so anxious to cut into it. Thank you!Second visit was just as amazing. I had the Hot Cubano and strawberry paczki. Highly recommend!“
“A great spot to grab a breakfast bite! Their sandwiches are yummy and their tots are crunchy deliciousness! Highly recommend any of their baked treats and coffee too.Dietary restrictions: They have a gluten free option for bread and you can have any of the sandwiches over tater tots instead!“
“These are the best donuts hands down And I've had donuts every where and out of state My son makes me try donuts everywhere I've eaten donuts that cost double your price and yours were better Prices are great I know they use good ingredients I've worked in Food and field so I understand the quality.“
“It’s always a great day when I get to go to Lincoln’s Landing! The food is great and the people that work there are wonderful. The menu has a lot of variety, and the prices are really good for the amount of food you get. I highly recommend visiting if you get the chance!Parking: There is free street parking along that main road. There should always be a space available, but you may just have to walk a little further to get to the restaurant.“
“This was such an incredible experience. Our drinks, appetizer, and entrees were better than my partner and I could've imagined. The staff was incredibly kind from the moment we entered until the moment we left. A lot of the staff have been working there for 5+ years so they were passionate and informative about the restaurant and what it has to offer. & Our server, Bill, was the greatest, shout out to Bill! We will for sure be back.“
“I've done take out from this place a few times now through a catering app for my job and this place never fails. Despite the large orders it gets, my food has always come on time and with great flavor. I'm not adventurous when it comes to sushi, rather I'm very basic. I have ordered the lunch combo with the crispy onion roll, crunchy shrimp roll, and shrimp dumplings and I've also tried the spicy shrimp tempura and edamame. My favorite has been the onion roll because of the crispy onions on top that provide so much flavor and the crunchy and fresh cucumber. The shrimp in my sushi has always been crispy and the rice is sticky, not hard. The only disappointment has been that the spicy shrimp tempura roll is not spicy but you can fix that with some sriracha. The edamame has a fresh taste.“
“Sweet Java is hidden gem in Swampscott over in the Vinnin Plaza area. Everyone is always so friendly, there’s a great vibe and you can tell the people who work there really care. The drinks are make perfectly and the food is always delicious.“
“Address I have is Maple St., not Cherry FYI. This place ROCKS!! Easy parking. They have an ENORMOUS amount of low sugar beverage choices. What a treat to find! Their veggie open sandwich on homemade pita bread is so SUPERIOR. Fabulous ingredients, large, fair price. Pizza DELICIOUS crust. Got caramelized onion, ricotta, eggplant cutlet. Sooooo tasty. I might leave out eggplant next time, though. Place clean, prices fair, creative menu good for vegetarians and vegans, staff friendly. Can't wait to go back!“
“One of the best seafood restaurants in New England. On weekends extremely busy and crowded and ambiance is like eating in a bus station unless you bring your food outside. But these guys are totally impressive filling orders quickly-they have the process totally down. Fried clams and onions rings are amazingly fresh and portions are big. Good coleslaw. Chowder is a little too thin and milky. Free soda refills. Definitely worth a special trip.“
“Enjoyed eating lunch here with friends while visiting. I noticed immediately that the space is smaller, which makes it a pretty tight walk around. Even with a lot of customers the noise level was not to loud. I was disappointed when there was a set of 8 of us and they said we needed to sit at different booths. Eventually we asked if we could move to the side with a booth/table combo so we could all sit together. The waiter was not so happy. The food then was divided by the two tables (not pushed together) and then brought out at very different times. When half of the table had their pizza the other half didn't. Once they had finished then we received ours. The menu was pretty confusing due to the lack of explanation of what they all offer. It does give the description but it doesn't adequately show what they serve as specials or explain it. Turns out after we ordered we found their "march madness" wall that had all the pizzas we could order but would have had no idea what was on each one. The pizza it self was very good. It was not over done and a well rounded pizza. I think it's something I'd eat once but not say it's a "must have" again since IM NOT a huge pizza person.“
“A huge thanks to Cookie Monstah for the ability to rent out one of their trucks for our daughter’s and son-in-law’s Welcome Party the night before their wedding, Memorial Day weekend. They allowed for them to make their own combinations of ice cream cups/cookies and to name them - the names were based on the neighborhoods where they had lived in the North End. The service was great and the ice cream and cookies were top-notch! Thanks to Janelle for all her help in making this such a special occasion!“
“The ice cream is amazing I cannot believe it is so low sugar low fat. Highly recommend the salted caramel flavor. Service is great too you can taste the various flavors before buying. I highly recommend this place and it’s so close to Patton Park - the perfect spot to bring the kids after playing!“
“Hadn't been there since they moved off of Route one. Amazing sausage, selection, the mostly northern European style (no 'nduja, which I was hoping they'd have). Excellent Canadian bacon and, next time, will try their smoked pork chops. Prices reasonable.“
“I used Los Chamos catering for a corporate happy hour for 60 people. Freddy, the owner, has been beyond professional throughout this experience. They respond quickly and go above and beyond to accommodate for dietary restrictions. I look forward to working with them again!“
“Pomodori saved our wedding!! Our original catered cancelled last second, literally an hour before we were serving lunch. I called Pomodori’s and they came with absolutely delicious pasta and pizza to serve our guests! Everyone was raving over the food and we cannot say enough kind words about Zach and the rest of the staff! They were so kind, helpful, delivering to us and saving the wedding! Thank you and 10/10 recommend them for all catering needs!“
“Had a couple of drinks while passing through Salem. Def on the sweet side (not a big fan). Loved being able to order through the machines without standing in line (great for folks with that type of anxiety). They have a cozy room with sound proofing that makes it easier to get some work done, however it was a Sunday afternoon for us and it got quickly crowded with chatter.“
“This is one of the better "clam shacks" in Massachusetts and in all likelihood the most well-known at least here on the coast. This place is somewhat of a legend which translates to "very popular". In the summer, good luck getting in without waiting quite a long time in line...which I no longer am willing to do. The beauty of coming here "off season" and on a Sunday when the clocks were just turned back the night before is that you are hungry for lunch "earlier", and there are no crowds to speak of. So last Sunday when the clocks said it was 11:30am, it was in reality still 12:30pm in our minds (lunchtime!) as we had not yet had time to adjust to the time change.We've been here many times over the years but not in a very long time so it was nice to be back. Everything looked the same as it always has.We were soon to discover that the overall quality of the food is still quite good. Seafood is pricey these days, so clam shack or not, you're going to have to face the sticker shock. However, Woodman's is not nearly as expensive as another clam-shack/restaurant closer to home and the quality is better. It might be that the sheer volume of business that they do here may keep the prices ever so slightly better than some other places.My favorite thing to order (and what they are known for in particular) are the fried clam bellies. They also sell fried clam strip platters but for me, it is the clam bellies for sure. The bellies are meatier and really have the flavor of the ocean noticeable in each bite.The place is very large with lots of seating both indoors and out. You order at a counter and wait at your table for your number to be called. There is another counter where you can order beer and wine which is served to you right away and you bring to your table.Tom and I both got the clam belly platters, his with onion rings, mine with fries. The portion size was perfect for me but smaller than I remember....but trust me, it is still plenty of food. This is a no frills place that visually kind of reminds me of a camp dining hall.Other menu items include lobsters, lobster rolls, fish sandwiches, crab rolls, steamed clams with drawn butter (another fave of mine), etc. There are a few non-seafood items on the menu as well but that isn't what I'd come here for.There is ample free parking and everything is on one level and easily navigable. There are a few tables that are inexplicably very tight fits but just across the room are larger tables that are easier to maneuver in and out of.This is delicious New England seafood in an unpretentious, unfussy, relaxed setting. One of the reasons I love living in New England is classic seafood in a place just like this.“
“The Northshore breakfast sandwich is purely addicting and has become my occasional goto. However, I do feel that they get their counter staff from the RMV reject pile. If I'm paying $18 for a really good breakfast sandwich and a very average cold brew, I do not think it's too much to ask for a smile and to be thanked for my business. I was standing with three other customers and we were all in agreement.“
