As for food: -- Cranberry Orange Scone: Superb. Slightly sweet, a little biscuity, with good moistness and understated glaze that lets the base shine. Sometimes warm. -- Chocolate Croissant: I doubt this is made in house. Flaky, yes, but something's off. Seems like a prefab product from the freezer section. You can do much better than this. -- Rugelach: Very rich with potent Nutella flavor. A little greasy, but in a good way. Small but packs a flavor wallop. -- Cinnamon Bun: Decent. Nice moist glaze and a somewhat dry winding dough. -- Brioche Bun: A small round braided number similar to a pain swisse but also a Scandinavian bun, with custard and chocolate chips. Innovative, but dry and rubbery. Good coffee and good atmosphere, but a mixed bag on the morning treats, with some hits and misses. Order what works for you and you should be happy, especially when comparing against similar places in the immediate area or distant 'burbs. Just don't expect Boston quality and you'll be fine.

It's a good place to meet friends and hang out, have an afternoon date, or study/work from. Not many places can say all 3, but this place definitely can!!

The star of the show is the sandwich selection, all on a choice of focaccia or seeded roll, with many including stracciatella, a thick, white, creamy, Buratta-like cheese. Almost every item in the store-- from meats to cheeses to drinks to candies and snacks-- is imported from Italy and you can taste the difference. This ain't your daddy's Boar's Head. -- Tutto: Tried on focaccia, with Mortadella, Soppressata, Capicola, Prosciutto, Provolone, Stracciatella Cheese, Tomatoes, Onions, Pickles, Hot Cherry Peppers, and Garden Greens. Very creamy cheese, almost mayoey in texture. It took some adjustment on my first try, but I got used to it quickly. Strong flavors overall. Very enjoyable. -- Matto: Tried (on two different visits) on a grilled seeded roll, this packed Prosciutto, Soppressata, Sharp Provolone, and Hot Cherry Peppers. Bold flavors from the coldcuts, sharp cheese, and perfectly toasted bread, all in the right proportions to enjoy every flavor and texture. This was spectacular and will be a repeat sandwich for many visits to come. Excellent sandwiches. Nice people. Easy ordering via Toast (they don't have a website). Limited hours-- weekday lunches only-- and hard to spot, but in the same parking lot as the convenience store. I'm not an authority on Italian sandwiches but I've had my fair share from the "name" places in and around Boston, and this unknown gem from the outer suburbs ranks right up there with them. Some may argue they charge Boston prices, but for Boston quality without the Boston hassle, well worth it. Solidly in my lunch rotation.

I was able to sample a couple of flavors to decide on my ice cream. I tried tres leches, blueberry cheesecake, and pineapple upside cake.

The blueberry cheesecake was nice and creamy and the pineapple upside down cake ended up not as overly sweet as I thought it would be. It was just right for me. I would definitely come back here again and recommend folks come check it out. Lots of fun flavors as well as some classics. The staff was very efficient and friendly and I feel like that always helps elevate the experience and the taste of the food somehow.

Adequate flavors. -- Pork Dumplings (appetizer): Small bites, subtle flavors. Pleasant but ordinary. -- Khao Soi: Very large bowl that mitigates the high sticker price ($23.95). Color of the thick curry broth, darker and more red than most (usually it's yellow, and the menu here describes it as yellow). Flavors a little sweeter than most, but not without a little kick. Crunchy noodles on top and soft noodles underneath a little thinner than most. Filling and enjoyable but not elite. Satisfactory suburban take on Thai. Not in the stellar strata but worthy of return visits if nearby.
