They also have shakes (sorry not sorry, I refuse to adopt the Bostonian thing of calling it a "frappe") in multiple sizes, which you actually don't see too commonly in the area. It also smells delicious when you walk in, and there's friendly service, in addition to a variety of sorbets and non-dairy options. I think this will be my new neighborhood ice cream spot!

You know, cause nothing says braces tightening like chomping on some chocolate covered chips. I had such a high metabolism back then. Well, it was not a big surprise to see the A Chocolate Dream is still in business in the sleepy town of Belmont. It's been around for a long time and even though we are in a recession, it looks like candy stores are still safe. If you are in Belmont center and want something sweet, treat yourself to A Chocolate Dream.

Each visit has made me truly fall in love with this tiny little spot that ports you back to the…read moreside streets of France. I don't find it pretentious; rather, I find it humble and unique in the way it serves up phenomenal pastries that tickle every single corner of your palate. From the croissants, the turnovers, to the delectable desserts or macarons, not one detail is spared in the intricate process of making each item stand out. They sure make the French proud (as some of the patrons openly brag about this being closest to "home"). The friendliness that they greet you as you enter to the simple smiles and gestures accommodating any and every possible question you may have is truly what seals the deal for this spot. As I sit and slowly put away whatever pastry I decided to indulge in the moment, sipping on my cafe au lait, I get to watch as different locals enter and go, chatting up a storm with each other like long lost loves, before disappearing in delight with full bags in hand. Can't wait to be back. Definitely now a weekend staple.

There is a good amount of seating in the store and free water for customers to fill themselves which I always love. The Bacon Egg and Cheese was a wise decision and priced very very well, I would definitely recommend that! My favorite sweet was the strawberry tea cake, top class that was. The donut and banana bread were also very tasty but I didn't get to eat enough of them to feel as strongly about them as I do the strawberry tea cake. I think it's assume you can't go wrong with anything you can purchase from Butternut Bakehouse,... Enjoy! The ambiance was full of energy with friendly staff and happy customers. Would definitely recommend.

It was nice to have a more home-made version of the classic Starbucks bites and enjoy a coffee that was well balanced. On a weekend youll find an array of people from families to groups of friends, but I never saw people waiting long for seats. Adding to the neighborhood feel is their bulletin board of local ads and promotions which really adds to the community feeling of this place. The service was friendly despite being busy and moved very quickly. I would definitely come back here.

There was no gossiping. Very professional. There is a wall of chocolates and snacks you can also purchase. Lots of room and tables to sit. The white fence and blue walls give it a Cape Cod feel. The avocado toast was tasty. It had a runny egg on top. I would have preferred metal utensils vs plastic ware. But there were no metal forks left. The plastic fork wasn't cutting it (get it?). Hubby got the breakfast sandwich: ham on English muffin. It didn't fill him up so he got another ham and cheese croissant. I would have preferred the cheese heated but hubby didn't mind it cold. The croissant was buttery and flaky though. Before we left we got some cold drinks from the fridge. They had some sparkling teas--Tea soda! Gonna try out the Blue Tea Jasmine.

When our tea came we did not even have napkins or spoons to stir the tea; the place had only one server for a holiday and everyone in the restaurant was waiting an extremely long time. Why wouldn't you have more servers at a tea house on Mother's Day? I wound up getting up from our table to get our spoons, knives, and napkins from a stand I saw because we weren't being paid attention to. The food itself was pretty measly. Would never ever return. Very bad experience.

I found out about The Danish Pastry House on Reddit, and one look at their website immediately sold me. I ordered a 6-inch Prinsesstårta (princess cake) for pickup. I mistakenly got their Saturday hours wrong, but when I called, someone agreed to wait for me 30 minutes past close - incredible service, as far as I'm concerned. The cake was gorgeous and so delicious! The marzipan went so well with the layers of moist cake, Bavarian cream, and raspberry jam. Truly a one-of-a-kind choice for a birthday cake that did not disappoint. I can't believe I have to wait a whole year for my birthday to come back around! Or maybe I'll just make an excuse to order another unbeatable cake from here.
