I happen to pass by Pastry Land and it caught my eye. Pastry? That sounded good. And a quick…read moreglance at Yelp yielded a 4.5 star rating. Coming in, I first could see the individually portioned rectangles of cakes and viennoiseries. No prices. That's actually a pet peeve of mine, as I dislike needing to take up the attention of a employee just to ask what the price is of something, in case another customer is behind me. Next, to the left, I spied their various baklava type sweets. But we are trying to eat fewer sweets, so initially I thought this might just be a reconnaissance visit. Further along yielded some savories. I pointed at and asked for one apiece of their chicken phyllo triangle (chicken briwat - shredded spiced chicken with sweet onion), the spinach flatbread (spinach herb cheese), and semolina pancake (Golden Pancake). These were pretty good. And service was nice. The sweets I picked up on another visit were poofy, but the filling ratio a bit off. Averaging out to maybe 3.5 in my book?

You know how when we were kids we thought [most] adults had it all figured out? Then, even as we…read moreapproach or surpass 30 we all realize: "I still don't know what the heck I'm doing half of the time." The same is true of me and my reviews. One would think a 1,000+ reviews in I'd gain some level of confidence! Yet, there are still reviews where I feel I am just winging it. Of course, I try to give my thoughts and opinions as best I can, still, I feel as though I were approaching 30 and can't believe I am technically an adult. This is the case with Pastry Land. I've been in here probably half a dozen times, and only now have I decided to put words on paper by wasting your time with irrelevant metaphors. ONWARDS! Pastry Land has great European style cakes and pastries. Their selection is wide and varied, and the quality is terrific! Everything I've had is distinct, scrumptious, and not over-sweet. Okay, great, so why four stars? Well, with the exception of a pistachio baklava square that knocked my socks off, I didn't find their goods were above and beyond sufficient as to drag me back with the same magnetism as Tatté or Flour (for e.g. - I know these are in different categories). They meet expectations, which is a solid four in my book. For some final notes: I feel that the value is fair in light of the quality. Also, the location itself is spacious, very clean, and the staff are friendly.

Seyu Mack Tenn is a Chinese Bakery located on Billings Road in Quincy. It's not a big store but…read morethey have a variety of baked goods all over and some in the display case. There are also a few dim sum items behind the counter inside an insulated hot box. The location of this bakery is in a more quiet part of the intersection. And street parking was easy when I went there on a weekend morning. Mini Egg Tarts- These were about two-bite size ones and they are the way to go! I got the box of 12 to split with a gf and it was fantastic! Not sure if they were a better deal or not but it was convenient to just get them in a box. They were sweet, eggy and the crust was flakey. And I placed what I had left of my portion in the fridge and it was still good the next day! Hot Dog Buns- Fluffy bun with a hot dog in it. Classic Chinese bun I used to get at every spot that sold it and this tasted like my childhood! Overall Service: Joyful staff but can and I can see people being turned off because they seem a little pushy when they are trying to show options. A lot of what they show was not be visible or on a menu somewhere. They are just trying to make a sale, very sweet auntie!

We got sandwiches tonight and gave Montilio's another try. The brownie was cake not brownie at all and i almost choked it was so dry. The Blueberry muffins looked amazing and cost a mint for four but they were huge and the blueberries were plentiful but when i bit it i had to spit it out. It had a chemical taste like i had just rinsed my mouth with sweet and lo. Terrible - worst I have ever purchased. And no expiration date on anything. It all was wretched and didn't taste like food at all. I am so sad.

Paris Baguette is a Korean bakery café offering a wide selection of pastries, cakes, breads,…read moresandwiches, and coffee in a bright, modern setting. We walked into a space with a self-serve layout that makes it easy to browse everything from flaky croissants and sweet pastries to freshly baked loaves and beautifully decorated whole cakes before checking out. The bakery had a clean, organized energy with a steady flow of customers moving through the line, and the spacious seating area made it a comfortable place to sit and enjoy a pastry with coffee rather than just grabbing something to go. The pastry selection is the main draw, with favorites including the coffee bun, ham and cheese croissant, hash brown bread, soft cheesecake, sweet potato pastry, and mochi donuts. We ordered a few items and found the croissants light and buttery, with a good flake that held up against the fillings. The sweet potato pastry stood out with a smooth, naturally sweet filling that was not overly sugary, and the mochi donuts offered a chewy texture that set them apart from traditional donuts. The cake display is equally impressive, featuring a variety of light sponge cakes and fruit-filled desserts that work well for both individual slices and special occasions. Coffee, matcha lattes, smoothies, and other café drinks round out the menu for a quick breakfast or afternoon stop, and the drinks paired well with the pastries without feeling like an afterthought. The bakery is clean, spacious, and well organized, with neatly arranged displays that make everything look fresh and inviting. Despite being a popular location, service is generally efficient, and there is plenty of seating if you want to enjoy your pastries inside. The staff moved through orders with speed, and the pacing of the visit stayed comfortable without long waits. Whether stopping in for a morning coffee and pastry, picking up a birthday cake, or grabbing a box of baked goods to take home, Paris Baguette offers a consistently wide variety of Korean-style baked goods in a comfortable café setting.

First, **free parking!** That's a huge plus and makes stopping by so much easier. Second, the selection is fantastic. Whether you're craving something sweet or savory, there's no shortage of options. The stuffed donuts are absolutely everything, and I also love the ham and cheese croissant. It's hard to leave without picking up more than I planned. The café itself is always clean, spacious, and well organized. Service is quick, checkout is efficient, and they'll even warm up your pastry if you'd like, which makes everything taste even better. Overall, it's a reliable spot with delicious pastries, a welcoming atmosphere, and the convenience of free parking. I keep coming back, and it's an easy **5 stars** from me.

I came by to grab a cake for a birthday and the people working were incredibly rude. The person grabbing the cake for me had his airpods in and couldn't hear me. So, when I asked for a cake, he kept saying "WHAT? WHAT?" and acted annoyed because he couldn't hear me over whatever he was listening to through his airpods. He then packaged the cake very haphazardly and didn't make eye contact or speak to us beyond the prior "WHAT." The cakes here are good but not good enough for me to feel disrespected and dismissed. Especially when they're pretty expensive. Come if you don't care about getting yelled at by some high schoolers.

It is a bright and spacious shop which provides patrons with trays and tongs to self serve. On this visit, we had our eye on the warm items in their warming oven for a light lunch.

I also had a bite of the Mushroom Onion Cheese pastry, which tasted rather good even to this non-mushroom fan. I'm just curious enough to look for an opportunity to revisit to try one of their flattened croissants...
