“My vanilla latte was basically correct - lingering finish, not bitter - but the beans either weren't the freshest or were just not ground finely enough, because I didn't get the awesome flavor that coffee can deliver. Inside is a little dated for my taste. The booth seating has tape and tears in places like an aging diner or cafeteria would.“
“I have never been to an establishment that places such high standards on dietary restrictions and allergies. The servers and kitchen staff made me feel welcomed with my requests which are viewed as "annoying" in other dining establishments. They went above and beyond my expectations and I will definitely be dining here next time I am in the area!“
“It's rare to bring my dairy free sister somewhere where she's able to eat almost anything on the menu. We scanned the bakery display and wondered what items were "safe" for her to eat and were pleasantly surprised when the helpful woman behind the counter excitedly explained that almost everything aside from 2-3 items contained no dairy! We went wild and ordered practically one of everything to bring home and sample, then got some breakfast to eat there too! I got breakfast tacos and my sister got a breakfast sandwich. Everything was great, though the homemade ketchup threw us a little. Not bad, just different.Everything is also gluten free too, and they have a great labeling system that helps narrow down which allergens are present in each item. I'm a self proclaimed bakery snob and even I was impressed by the variety and even the texture of the gluten free cake slices!“
“We had a reservation for a party of 4 and were seated as soon as we arrived. Wait staff was very attentive. Service after ordering was prompt and accurate. We enjoyed the variety of the menu which allowed everyone, including a vegetarian, to get a meal that satisfied their particular cravings.“
“This place is awesome for lunch and the spicy teriyaki is killer. The chicken has always been cooked perfectly from my end, always a little crispy but not burnt, broccoli is steamed to perfect as it should be and not mushy, rice is always perfect as well. Got a smiley face on my receipt and everyone on the staff has always been super nice. In terms of ambiance it's not meant to be a super fancy spot obviously but for a quick lunch it's great.“
“My husband and I went to legal sea food for a cute Date night. We were seated quickly, but sat for about 10 minutes before being greeted by our server, feleshia, who was wonderful. I was very impressed with the NA cocktails, and ordered the kylie sparkling, then We started with lobster bisque and tuna tataki. Loved the bisque, the tuna not so much. My husband ordered the tuna for his meal and I ordered the Crab cake combo. We both very much enjoyed our meals and finished it off with boston cream pie cake! Stunning. Definitely coming back!“
“Best coffee shop in spring Hill, and gives everything in Davis a run for their money easy. Always a line out the door on weekends and deservedly, but they move fast. Great pepper biscuits, great yogurt. BLT is weirdly bad but the turkey sandwich is great.“
“Love this place. Great food. Great atmosphere. Great drinks. My gf and I tend to always get the same thing-Pan roasted chicken, and the jambalaya. Been favorites for years. Large selection of beers and cocktails. Highly recommend for anyone new to the area. It has a great "Somerville" vibe.“
“The food at this place is delicious, and they offer items which a lot of other nearby restaurants do not. I have gotten take out and eaten there, and I have enjoyed both experiences. If I had to choose one thing that I disliked about this restaurant, it would be that I wish more of their delivery options could be made without sugar/palm sugar.“
“My sister-in-law just sent me and my wife a door dash order to cheer us up, with cold brew and two pains au chocolat. I took one bite and… wow. Buttery but light and flaky, cooked just right - understated perfection in a bag! I grew up in France, and this is honestly one of the best French pastries I have had in 28 years living in the US. Even in France it's not every day you find one this good! We’ll be going there for more, can’t wait to try what else they have to offer!“
“I recommend nothing after seeing how terribly they treated a customer this afternoon at the medford sq location. guy came in to pickup pre-ordered cake that was paid for. he was told they didn't have the cake. no apology, no offer deliver cake in the morning.....NOTHING. THE customer finally asked for the only 2 cakes left which were much smaller than cake ordered. he wanted happy birthday written on the cakes and was told it couldn't be done....not sure why. 30 minutes before closing time. the beaten down guy said...I'll take those 2 cakes in replace of the cake I ordered that you failed to make. I was literally floored when the kid behind counter said ...we can't just give you those cakes. you have to pay for them. this could have been handled so many ways better. and again, not one we are sorry. none of the stuff here is anything great...the guy should have went and got a cake at the grocery store. when businesses mistreat and disrespect their customers that's it for me. modern pastry is a small business....I've seen customers treated much better at wal.art and Costco. shame on modern pastry“
“Best bakery we've been to in the Boston area. Everything we've tried has been excellent, but I highly recommend the ancient grain sourdough, the feta twist and the croissants. The prices are reasonable and the staff is always friendly.“
“Love this place! The chicken pesto Panini is my absolute go-to—it's so flavorful and satisfying. The customer service here is top-notch too. The owner is super friendly, always greets me by name, and makes me feel right at home. It's those personal touches that keep me coming back for more!“

“Initially I was concerned that I wouldn't find any vegan options in Boston. The Life Alive Organic Cafe in Cambridge was a great find. They are plant based having vegetarian and vegan options. The food is fresh, quality and the tastes a great.A wide range of dishes including warm grain bowls, salads, wraps, noodles and soups, and desserts. The beverages include smoothies, cold pressed juices, coffees, teas and suoerfood.lattes.This is definitely on par with the best vegan food I have had in London. Free WiFi, great food and service what more could you ask for. A short distance from MIT you should put it on your to do list.Pictured are Miso Tofu Ramen, Grilled Pita and Blue Breeze.Dietary restrictions: Vegan“
“Incredible little bakery and cafe with wide selection of delicious pastries, specializing in croissants, with frequently rotating specials, and delicious drinks. Staff are friendly and quick and the atmosphere is vibrant and lively. Hand pies and savory croissants are my favorites, but the scones and sweet croissants are also to die for!“
“The food is just delicious and the staff is friendly and happy to have you there. Everything is so fresh and yummy. If you like Indian food at all, or want to try it for the first time - go here. They have meat dishes, vegetarian dishes and vegan dishes.“
“Bayberry Cafe is packing up their Woburn bags and relocating to Cambridge. Their last day of service will be Mothers Day (May 14) 2023. Their new location will be called Ramen O Bowl and will be at: 1668 Massachusetts Ave Cambridge MA with an opening in the near future. Bayberry has been a wonderful community restaurant since they opened 6 years ago, bringing some of the most delicious vegan food to the North suburbs, but unfortunately it is their time to give another location a try.“
“Mar 2024:Spot inside the Brewery. The food is very filling and with a nice veggie option. Very flavorful veggie bowl with magical green sauce and the arepa with plantains and cheese was fire. 5/5. They give this free hot sauce thats vinegary and spicy-like buffalo sauce, not my thing but you may like it.“
“Perfect spot to avoid ridiculous hotel breakfast prices. Food absolutely smacked. Biscuit breakfast sandwich had me full until like 2pm and the sausage was crazy good. Hangover burger got me right back on my feet after a late night as well. Definitely coming back next time I’m in town.“
“The most delicious food! My favorites are the lentil soup and the fattouch salad. ALWAYS delicious. My absolute favorite place to sit and enjoy a yummy lunch when I’m working in North Cambridge. Beautiful decor and atmosphere. Kind, authentic people making it all happen. Sweet, family run business.“

“Had a great experience at this local coffee shop. Both of our drinks were absolutely delicious- got the iced strawberry matcha and a plain cold brew. Might be my new favorite cold brew in the area! Also tried the garlic pao de queijo, which came steaming hot and was amazing. 10/10 experience and great atmosphere to get some studying in.“
“I'm obsessed with their quiche and if you call 48 hours ahead of time (I've even gotten away with less), you can pre-order a whole one. This is my new superpower. Everyone loves the person who shows up with a gigantic delicious quiche and it couldn't be easier. Everything else is divine and this place takes all my money, but man. That quiche. *chef's kiss*“
“This bakery is a gem! I stumbled upon it and was greeted by mouthwatering scents and friendly staff. Their chocolate croissant was heavenly, and the tart cake was pure perfection. Can't wait to return for more delightful treats! Highly recommend!“
“Long overdue review since I've been a regular here for years, and try to go every time I'm in Boston. The food is amazing and will be appreciated not only by vegans and vegetarians, just outstanding quality diner food. The place looks like a cute diner as well and the service has always been great. The team works super hard and gets food out quickly even on very busy days! Love everything about this place and hope to continue coming here for years to come :)“
“wonderful staff. they engage in your interests and ask about how you feel with the tea you get. tried their pu-erh and it is definitely high quality. also bought a vegan wrap from them. great blend of spices and sauce. slightly too much spice that overpowered the tahini (bought the bing bang wrap) but still delicious. If i ever go to another show at the sinclair again I will definitely eat there beforehand“
“Really good eats here! The broccoli cheddar soup was pretty salty but very flavorful and Hearty. The sticky bun was great- fluffy soft bread and plenty of pecans. Also very much enjoyed trying the half sizes of the mushroom melt sandwich, the Butternut Squash sandwich, and the achiote chicken sandwich. The raspberry oat bar was nice too, and the carrot cake was very moist and with a lot of cream cheese frosting that wasn't overly sweet.There are seating areas downstairs and upstairs which include bar seats and benches and regular chairs, as well as an elevator to the second floor. The staff were very professional and friendly and we saw them help visually impared customers with great courtesy.The only thing I would skip is the chai latte- it tasted pretty bland.“
“Loved every part of my dining experience. Atmosphere was casual with a cool vibe, staff was very friendly and attentive and helpful in explaining the dishes…. Mamta and Alisha were so friendly and professional…. Food was absolutely delicious!!! This was my first time tasting Napoli culture food and thoroughly enjoyed it! Highly recommend this place to everyone and will definitely be back again! Very Satisfied Customer, James Kivlin“
“Such a great location for our networking group each week... not only do they have an amazing location but the food and coffee is out of this world!!! Ing.. Inspiring New Growth Networking Group is very blessed to have this location for us to meet at each week!“
“It is the best tourist trap that locals go to...skip tasty burger or shake shack in Harvard Sq and just go to Mr Bartleys for a superior burger at a very similar price pointBiggest issue is no public restroom for a sit down place, but its the city's fault not the business“
“Ok so first point is the food was awesome. Friendly staff, and good location. The price is good, a little less than typical for bbq. We had 3 meals which consisted of brisket, ribs and half chicken with the sides of Mac n cheese (which to me could use a little smoke flavor or cheese with a little more flavor. Could just be a personal preference. ) baked beans and Brussel sprouts.Overall fantastic meal for good price.They need a bigger seating area but for a new BBQ place in New England they are on their way to becoming well known for great food. Will visit again soon. Great job CODE 1 !!!!!“
“Mike's is great and a Boston staple. It can get busy and chaotic, but don't be intimidated by the crowd/lines. It moves fast.However, be ready to order when you get to the counter as they try to keep things moving.There is no seating.They only take cash. There are ATMs nearby if you don't have any. It's worth it.Parking: The roads are incredibly busy on the street in front of Mike's.“
“So good that many restaurants in the Boston area resell their cookies without mentioning where they get them. There's sometime for everyone. Our biggest problem is deciding if we should get more of our favorites or sample their amazing variety. The staff is also very nice!“
“Chris is a talented chef and a kind host. He was attentive to our unique tastes and was informative on the decisions for each dish. His description of the dishes and how they paired with sake made the experience memorable. The ingredients felt fresh and special. Absolutely worth a special evening.“
“My experience with Cake Inc was one of a kind and incredibly special! From the first email with Susan, I knew that I had picked the right local bakery to order my parent's anniversary cake from. Susan was a dream to work with, exceptionally kind and professional. I sent her an inspiration photo but the cake was more beautiful than the photo and she even added on another tier to our surprise. I plan on telling everyone about Cake Inc, Susan went above and beyond!“
“The drip coffee they serve is really good. (blind tiger coffee beans). The blood orange ricotta cookie is also 10/10. I’ve tried their cold brew and americano as well, which tasted good. I believe they used to use Broadsheet beans for some drinks, but I guess it depends/rotates(?)“
“My first time eating in the North End and we choose La Familia Giorgio's. The bolognase was excellent as was the veal Marsala. Portions were plenty and we have yummy leftovers. The waitress Skyler was awesome and took time with us, we did not feel rushed. We will be back.“
“My first time at Bobby C’s and it was delightful. I’ve been living around the corner for a while but I never checked Bobby C’s before and I regret it so badly. The mussels in white wine and garlic sauce was something unexplainable, calamari perfectly fried to keep the tenderness, chicken parmigiana and the stuffed chicken breast was unreal. All unbelievably delicious and flavorful. The drinks were a must, and the big surprise was the to go dessert we took home, we were LITERALLY OMG at every bite. I regret not ask our server’s but if you go there and see this sweet lady with gray short hair and a bright smile, she is the one. She said that the desserts were backed by her and she gave us some biscuits to our little baby pug. Bobby C’s is a gem and it’s been a very long since the last time I felt motivated to write a review but they deserve 10 stars for every second we spent there.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible“
“I ordered m&m cookies for my son's birthday. I thought they were expensive when I ordered (but competitive with other bakeries). However, after eating one of the enormous, not too sweet, not too salty cookies; I realized that these cookies were miles beyond their competitors. They were thick, full of mini m&ms, slightly crunchy at the edges, perfectly cooked: yum. It's more of an experience than a cookie. In conclusion, the items at Sweet Spot are worth every penny.“
“This place was excellent! We came back again, visiting from AZ. Appetizers, Thai tea, soup, meal and even dessert were so good. Try cute family business, with exceptional quality food. The second time we came, I believe the 2 sons served us. They were very excited to be there. I wish I lived closer; I would be a regular.“
“I came here for an anniversary dinner and it was an excellent choice. I had a vegan ravioli special which was great. The introductory bread and dip are also vegan and delicious. My partner had another ravioli that was a special and raved about it.“
“Excellent food! Abundant and tasty! We ordered from Arsenal Catering Group for our kids' B'nai Mitzvah celebration. It was a large party, but everyone said that the food was very good. Communication was excellent throughout the planning process. Delivery was prompt and the driver was very helpful with the set up. Overall, we are very happy with our experience. Thank you!!“
“A quick bite to energise ourselves. Short walking distance from U.S.S. Constitution Museum. We came in for a warm Latte and was lured by the signature sandwiches and pastries! Tuna Aioli, with chocolate and almond croissants! What a delicious lunchtime meal. Interior was warm, clean and spacious. Prices where very reasonable! Staff was friendly and quick!“
“Jana. My goodness.I passed this place for years sitting in traffic in Watertown square. It became a running gag to say the name while driving by.Finally after years we actually went. I had been missing out on the juiciest kebabs, delicious flavors, and a great supporting cast of appetizers. They also do fun weekday soup dumpling specials.Don't be like us. Go to Jana ASAP.“
“I did a Too Good To Go order at this bakery to try it out. This place gives you the value you paid for so I can see why the ratings are so high on tne app. Not just that, I enjoyed the pastries. Those peanut butter cookies were soft and chewy! Would I come back here without a tgtg order? Yes.“
“Our first time there and we had breakfast sandwiches with delicious drinks. Then left with delicious, uniques flavored cupcakes (strawberry cheesecake and dirty tiramisu) and French macaroons. Celebrated an early Valentine’s Day there. Also, the staff is incredibly nice and helpful Would highly recommend“

“We were lucky seated at the only available table on a Sunday afternoon. We weren't aware they only do brunch on Sundays, nonetheless the food was good. We had the gobi Manchurian which was cold as it was sitting at the kitchen for a while. The shakshula(shakshuka) was good and the lentil soup was good and served at the right temperature. The service was a 2/5 as the waiters took too long to take orders, bring food that was ready. The place was fully packed and the kitchen is doing a great job in keeping up with the rush. Would try again on a weekday for their regular menu“
“This restaurant is located across the street from Davis Square. It has a simple menu with the main entrees including only Banh Mi and Rice Bowl/Noodle bowls. Wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re looking for traditional Vietnamese food or pho. But all to say, their pork rice noodle bowl was solid with a generous portion of meat and their papaya salad was good as well (not too spicy). This restaurant is definitely Americanized but is a good local place to try out if you’re in Davis Square.“
“I came here for breakfast on a Saturday with 2 other people around 10am or so, and we had a great breakfast. By the time we arrived the restaurant was already full, but we waited about 20-25 minutes and got a table. The service was great and the food came out impressively fast so we were very happy. The food was great and we all loved our meals.I ordered the Biscuits and Gravy, someone else ordered an Omelette, and someone else ordered the Pumpkin Pancakes (seasonal option) with a side of bacon. Everything was great.We learned that the best bet is to call ahead for a table so you can skip the wait-list, so we will do that in the future. The Blue Moon Grill is a simple but awesome restaurant with great food and service. I'd like to try lunch here sometime too.“
“OPEN ON WEEKENDS!I have been sleeping on this delicious little gem for months because google said they were not open on weekends. I just devoured the most delicious breakfast sandwich with eggs and a delicious cheese blend AND AVOCADO! The flavor difference difference between this perfectly crafted sandwich and any mass produced breakfast sandwich was HUGE... i am so happy!If you're hungry, get up and go to ANNA'S because your mouth and tummy will be so happy.Bonus that they offer incredible chocolates - but the breakfast sandwich was Saturday morning perfection!“
“Thank you to Chris and his team for always having an amazing product and even better service/communication . I have used Nothing Bundt cakes for family events, holidays, and a corporate Employee Appreciation Day order (300 cakes). Their attention to detail is top notch and they make each process seamless. Highly recommend.“
