I visited Shopper's Kitchen with a group of coworkers after work around noon. We had received a…read morefew recommendations from others in the area and were excited to try a good soul food restaurant. I hate to say that I was disappointed. I was really looking forward to some good cooking. There was one waitress who was very kind and was great assisting us. she left after our food was delivered so we didn't get a chance to interact with her after that but the owner came out and helped us once the waitress left. She said they were short staffed and she just came in to help with the lunch rush. I got the catfish, mac and cheese, and greens. The catfish was perfectly seasoned, crisp and golden like I like it-no complaints there. The greens and mac and cheese though, left much to be desired. The mac and cheese was gummy and tasted boxed along with the greens that were not seasoned well. Amongst my coworkers, the meal that seemed to be the best was the protein bowl. It arrived smoking of heat, was full of flavor, neatly arranged, and flavorful. It seems like that may be the go to for future visits. I was excited about the desserts since this seemed to be a top selling point but was disappointed when we found out that they weren't serving the majority of the items on the menu. They did have sweet potato cupcakes which were amazing.

Let me give you the bullet points of this new restaurant:…read more Great customer service Homemade desserts Best seller - protein bowls. They essentially do healthy here. Various desserts that range from $2 - $5 Can ask them to make desserts for you. They cater. They do taxes here. Other businesses here as well which includes cleaning services. The protein bowl is something you can eat daily. This is a food item made from the Auntie that cares about your health. This isn't heavily spiced and it let's the ingredients make the meal. They are not skimpy on any portions including the protein. The cheesecake is extra smooth. You can tell it is not store bought. The same can be said for the chocolate version I ate. My frugal meter showed up when I was told $5 a slice, but homemade goods always make me spend a little more. All in all, you should stop here and see what you like.

Tasting the cake, it was clear the frosting was straight from a tub i.e. gluey, chemically, and overly-sweet. Apparently, homemade frosting isn't "cost effective" for her. Although she finally agreed to refund $30, I was still out the rest (it wasn't cheap) and left with an inedible cake for the husband's 50th birthday. This vendor advertises a love of baking but she clearly loves your money more. We enjoyed neither a quality cake nor an honest transaction from this vendor. Look elsewhere.

I was walking down Mass street and came upon this place. I thought it was another gourmet food…read morestore, but when I entered it was like a fairytail. This place is a bakers wonderland! Every single thing in this store is dedicated to making your baked goods, candy/cupcakes/brownies/cookies, the best they can be. They sell icing, a huge selection of candies to top your cupcake, curd and other food items. What I find more exciting than ingredients, is all their fabulous packaging. If you are constantly pinning DIY food gifts on Pinterest, your head is going to blow off in this place! Racks are backed with the most adorable cupcake papers, containers, birthday candles, gift boxes, bags and pans. You bake it, they have it AND it's 10 times cuter than what you already have at home! Even if you are not baking treats, stop in here and you are sure to find something. I walked out with sparkler candles, chocolate nibs and a trivet!

They also have a lot of party decorations and items of various themes. There is a kitchen baking area for classes and presentations. I've gone in to browse several times. The employees aren't particularly friendly (nor mean, just not inviting) and they usually seem busy putting out inventory or working on stuff behind the counter rather than approaching customers. That's my only complaint about the place.

We also got the donut bites, a cinnamon roll and a dozen glazed/chocolate donuts. Light fluffy and with that incredible little light crunch on the outside and melt in your mouth inside. For those complaining of price, they are in line with other local options. Being local they likely don't have the buying power the chain stores do, yet are still under 2 for most flavors. The fancy ones are under 3 but are like twice the size! Worth it and will return! Service was super nice and friendly! Definitely support this local gem!
