Momdukes was with me, so I bought her an Almondless Joy. I got a report back from her today that she really enjoyed the flaky coconut topping. After viewing a gorgeous FB pic, I knew that I had to try the Pink Lemonade and also picked up a Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Both were amazingly spot on with flavor and presentation. The day-glo pink cuppy with lemon-yellow frosting and the tiniest pink sprinkles is just charming as all get out. The flavor is a home run reminiscent of that cool refreshing drink on a hot summer day. The CCCD had me perplexed upon observation. Chocolate cake, with dough colored frosting and a few chocolate chips on top. The frosting definitely tasted like cookie dough. The surprise was when I took a whole bite to find a healthy knob of actual cookie dough resting comfortably inside the cake! The combo of these elements together makes for a WHOP-BAM-BOOM EXPLOSION in your mouth! ....and Erin just sits calmly in the corner, in the zone...diligently whipping up another taste sensation. You GO girl. (:

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.

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.

The pastry chef is a genius. He has mastered the ability to balance flavors and keep everything light. Even the savory items are perfection, I had the spinach & feta and ran back to buy 3 more to go. The food is also excellent, not too overpowering, not too salty, just perfect. There is no seating and the plaza is a dump. The benefit is that the cheaper rent helps keep costs down, everything is reasonable

I came across Love + Flour's booth at Snowport in Boston, so this review is for their baked goods…read moreand not the physical location. But now that I know they're in Salem, I'll be visiting very soon! The macarons were front and center in the booth, and I kept goggling at how beautiful they were. They are slightly larger macarons with generous fillings and bejeweled shells ($3.75 each). I asked the person manning the booth what her favorites were (sugar cookie and cookie dough), but I still had trouble deciding which to try, there were so many unique flavors. She was very helpful though. Macarons are generally gluten free, but some flavors had cookie or cake crumbs and were labeled as containing gluten (fyi all served in the same case). These macarons were certainly not dairy free, but I decided to try them anyways; they were way too tempting. The Tall Man and I ended up getting a guava and a gingerbread macaron. His dad got a pistachio and a cosmic brownie (typical brownie vs the peppermint version). If I had known he was going to get some, it would have made more sense to get a half dozen. Macarons aren't cheap cookies, but they were certainly worth it. The guava was the plainest in appearance and taste. It wasn't decorated, and only the shell was flavored not the cream; it was too subtle and could have used a jam. The gingerbread was my favorite of our choices, spicy and not overly sweet with a nice textural crunch with the mini gingerbread sprinkles. The cosmic brownie had fun chunky sprinkles and a very fudgy texture, which was more brownie than macaron like (probably intentionally), but the taste was like a typical brownie so I would get something different next time. I didn't get to try the pistachio, but my father in law enjoyed it, and he doesn't even like cookies. Everything on display was beautifully fun to look at. I was also intrigued by their hot chocolate bombs and cake jars, but more as eye candy since they were full of gluten and dairy (but would make for great gifts!).

I drove five minutes back home and looked at the cake- no ariel and 2 of the mermaid tales on the cake were broken in half. i called the shop and she tried to tell me "your husband called and said he didn't want ariel on the cake". My husband didn't even know where i got the cake so i knew this was a lie. after almost 3 weeks of calling, emailing, messaging on instagram and commenting on fb post, i received an email from jamie stating she was "checking in". i emailed back asking for her to please call me and once again gave my phone number and still have yet to hear back. this is the worst customer service i have ever dealt with. would not recommend love and flour after spending almost $300 on a cake and dealing with all of this unnecessary stress.
