    Lobster tail
    Wendy Z.

    Stopped into Elm Street bakery today to pick up some pizza bagels. Can't ever go wrong with those. We decided we'd try a couple of pastries while we were there. We picked up a lobster tail, and a Whoopie pie. The cream inside the lobster tail tasted like medicine. Completely inedible. We also chose a powdered sugar covered whippy pie, one of our favorites. The Whoopie pie cake was extremely extremely dry and literally fell apart as I cut into it with a fork. Sad to say, but we won't be back. They have been consistent for years, not this time. .

    Just wrong, I said Mom. On a cookie, smashed the decoration

    This review is based on their on the strawberry cake. Packing, up charge and additional writing on cake. I've had better for less $. I've been around Everett for my entire life. My family moved here in the 1950's. I rarely give 1 or 2 stars taking into consideration an establishment is having an off day. But this just didn't seem like an off day it seemed more like inexperience, not a great product. A strawberry cake serving 6-12 we picked out was decorated with shaved white and some milk chocolate on the top. The top had 3 very beautiful strawberries on the top. Although the cake presents well. The chocolate is over the top and makes it more sugary. The berries cannot be shared easily without slicing. The top of the cake pretty but not practical for sharing or serving. Writing on the cake was wrong! suppose to be "Happy Birthday Mom", was "Happy Birthday Mama" on a cookie not the cake. Instead, written on a cookie. Then mashed on top of the pretty chocolate and strawberries. It was packed in the box that was partially open because it could not fit properly in the cake box. Clear shipping tape was used to tapped the sides of the box. Photos show what the cake looked like upon opening the box. I was not asked to view the cake just before they taped it. And I didn't remember to ask, that's the baker's role. The whipped cream non dairy frosting was nice, the additional shaved white chocolate on the sides was pretty but too sweet and made the whipped cream not stand out. There was more than enough whipped cream and the ratio to the yellow cake was too much whipped cream. In addition, for a strawberry shortcut or strawberry cake. The filling was minimal of any flavor or real strawberries inside. Additional charge for writing on the cake at 2.00, cake was about 30.00

    I specifically ordered a cake i told them exactly what i wanted . when we picked up the cake it was totally nothing g like i ordered . The disappointment when speaking to the owner of the bakery. I was so embarrassed of the cake. It was for my aunt and uncles 50th anniversary. I wanted a cascade down the side of the cake. They decided to do their own thing, I spent over $450.00 dollars with Elm St . the cake was a disappointment the pastries were great. Elm street bakery is the only bakery my family goes to for over 30 years or however long they've been there. Very Disappointed.

    My friend picked up some savory and sweet treats on a Thursday morning. We got to try their pizza squares, pizza bagels, blueberry muffins, and an assortment of pastries. Everything is freshly prepared and tastes great! As someone who believes crusts can be a hit or miss on pizzas, this one was certainly a hit for me. The sauce was slightly sweet and I can only imagine how much better it would have tasted fresh from the oven or sitting in the fridge. Would come again!

The huge lines seem intimidating, but they go by quite quickly, and it spreads into 3 separate lines inside. Bear in mind they are CASH ONLY. They do box your orders nicely with their iconic string. :) Although they're known for their cannoli, you can also order other pastries like eclairs, whoopie pies, brownies, cheesecakturnovers, florentines, scones, croissants, cookies, and even Dubai chocolate. Their pastry variety is endless. I ordered the Mint chip and Pistachio cannoli. Both were decadent but not too heavy or sweet. One downside is that I felt they were a bit drier than Modern, but otherwise comparable. Each was $8, although you can get "kits" for cheaper (some flavors like Dubai chocolate are more expensive). I'd love to come back and try the rest of their cannolis and pastries!

No seating inside it's take and go. The box and string are a nice touch. Found it to be delicious and a good size . I would have given this closer to 4 stars because the $8 seems a little steep. But the packaging alone might cost $2. It is popular and famous for a reason

As we walked in, we were met with the great aroma of coffee and baked goods. The place was very busy and there were a lot of staff moving around and customers having conversations or in line to order take out. We sat in a separate area downstairs and we were the only guests there. It was somewhat dark but it was private and there were bathrooms downstairs. We tried their tiramisu that was one of the bests I've ever tried. We also ordered their pistachio martini that was a super treat as it also had pistachio gelato. Their cappuccino made me want a second one. I am coming back to this place next time that I visit the North End!

    This used to be a nice spot to get a coffee and pastry. However, I feel the quality has declined…read more The cappuccino didn't taste like there was even espresso in there. Faint enough that it seems like the coffee grounds were used a few times... the rum cake was okay. It tasted commercially made. Unfortunate because I used to enjoy a coffee and pastry here. The workers were nice but the quality just isn't meeting nearby bakeries... Tables and menus were a bit sticky / dirty and could benefit being wiped down more
