Dar Rafiki's is a small bakery shop located in a corner of Dudley Plaza…read more Its windows are very colorful, Enter, and you come right up to the counter. There is a bench inside, and just enough room to walk around other customers without touching each other. They have croissants in two sizes (small and extra large), and a variety of shapes (croissants, cube, danish, bavarian puff). Seeing as whatever I purchased would have to sit in my trunk for a few hours, I avoided the dessert case with its tempting treats, and picked up one of their two cube offerings (Dubai Chocolate), a large Almond Croissant, a pistachio bavarian puff, a lemon danish, and two chicken pastillas dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon. I read that another Yelper suggested freezing some treats, so one chicken pastilla and the lemon danish are currently hibernating. I toasted the other chicken pastilla up and discovered that the crisped up phyllo sheets made the powdered sugar jump everywhere, so my suggestion is - cut first into bite size pieces, toast, then put a piece entirely in your mouth before chewing, in order to avoid the mess. It was good, but I have a first ever core memory that this version did not hit. The bavarian puff, almond croissant and cube were all well filled, yet none were too sweet. The croissant dough was tender at room temperature, and warm and buttery when toasted for a few minutes. *** When toasted back up from the deep cold, the lemon filling had the sweet-tart I was expecting, while the pastry was terrific.

Before going whale watching in Newburyport, I decided to finally try a fruit pastry. My co worker…read morewarned me that there are flavors that run out quick, so I made sure to be there early. It was in a plaza and in a much smaller space than l imagined. However, it was enough space to fit three cases worth of elaborate pastries including gourmet croissants, slices of cake / breads, and fruit pastries. They were playing Christian music when I walked in which made me so happy and made my morning. I ordered a mango pastry and my friend ordered the hazelnut one. The mango one was filled with an even ratio of mango mousse, cake, and mango chunks with a white chocolate like shell. The outside resembled a mango really well, with intricate detail of shading and colors. The hazelnut one tasted a lot like biting into a softer Ferrero Rocher chocolate - it was chocolatey, it tasted like hazelnut, and it had crispy tiny pieces of something. Each one was $6.99 which seemed fair considering how detailed they are and are decently sized.

My friend who is gluten free loves this place and I was finally able to come with her. They make everything here so you don't have worry about any allergen and no outside drinks are allowed. I got the spicy chicken quesadilla which surprised me with hot cheetos as it wasn't written on the menu but i think it's the new add on. This was not spicy at all but I am good with spice so that may be why. It came with 2 quesadillas cut into 4 slices and the wrap tasted like ur regular tortilla.

My team were having a hard time deciding which one they wanted but the comments on every flavor were very complimentary. I will be ordering lovely treats from Pipedream again.

The first impression is nice as the place is inviting with nice light and a good deal of indoor seating. They also have lots of menu items and a good pastry selection. I ordered a latte and a pastry. I was not expecting the elongated wait time to receive my coffee. I have been to dozens of cafes, here and abroad, and I honestly can't recall ever waiting so long for a coffee. They seemed to have a lot of staff. Anyway, it did take some time and in the end, It turns out the coffee is average - not great but certainly not awful. The pastry was very good. I am not sure if these are made in-house or delivered to them. Overall, it is a nice to place, it just did not impress.

I…read morecalled him on a Thursday morning asking if he could do a dozen lemon cupcakes for my son's first birthday and have them ready by Saturday - a real last minute order. He said he wouldn't have time to add custom decorations, but I had an idea and had him frost 11 in green and 1 in red. When I picked them up on Saturday, he added two cookies to the box. I also ordered a meat pie and a kofta wrap and while I was waiting, he gave me two pieces of warm baklava, fresh from the oven! Absolutely delicious. When everything was ready, he carried it out to my car for me, since I had the stroller. He's such a kind man. And oh my gosh... possibly the best cupcakes I've ever had. The frosting was light and more buttery than sweet. I usually take the frosting off of cupcakes but I didn't this time because it was just too good. The lemon curd center was tangy and just the right level of sweetness. I will return to Michael's for every birthday/anniversary/party from now on. Oh and that meat pie is going to live in my brain forever. So aromatic and delicious... I got it for my husband but had eaten half of it by the time I got home. Whoops!

Good amount of seating inside and outside. Prices are comparable to other similar cafes. I'd consider coming here again but I would try something different.
