I'll definitely be back to pick up some of her daily slices of cake, which is a great idea, and I can't wait until I have an occasion to order a cake from Amalia. I saw one she had made and it was gorgeous, and based upon the cupcakes, I bet it was scrumptious.

No exaggeration, the eclaires and bismarcks were double wide and at least 10" long. Three people could split an eclaire, oh my gosh. We bought an assortment of cookies, pastries, bread, and pizza. Everything was fresh and excellent. We took our pastries a few minutes away to the seashore and indulged in the comfort of our car for fear thise famous Revere seagulls (which are also giant) would swoop down and steal our sweets. A well-run, quality shop with ample selection for your sweet or savory craving. A local landmark for good reason, and worth the drive from anywhere in the region.

Tiny tables-- a dozen or more for your dining pleasure, and they even have table service. Tiny toilet upstairs for your convenience. -- Blueberry Muffin: Nice dome with a well extended overhang, though on one side for lopsided amusement. Blueberries tiny but densely distributed. Everything very soft and spongey, even the dome. Flavor very sugary. Decent muffin. I've had far better. I've had far worse. -- Half Moon / Black and White Cookie: There's a lot of misunderstanding regarding this item-- which is really items (plural). A black & white cookie is more of a New York thing, with a firm cookie base and a thin, hard-shell glaze on top. A half moon I believe is a Boston thing, with a cakey bottom and a thick, soft frosting on top. What's served here is closer to half moon, although I found the base very dry and the frosting too thin. Definitely a frosting though. Not much flavor from the chocolate. Lemony notes from either the white half or the base. Much like the muffin, not the best. Not the worst, either, but a lot closer to worst than best. I liked the atmosphere, the iced coffee, the vibe, and the cheerfulness of the ladies behind the counter.

She made me feel as though nothing mattered more than making my niece happy--true old-school customer service. We discussed several options, and then Keri joined us: the Picasso of cupcake baking and design. She was tremendous, and watching her sketch and talk through ideas was incredible. The cupcakes themselves were beyond delicious, with frosting that was absolutely outstanding. Jodi and Keri are an unbeatable team. Thank you so very much. Very grateful!

I learned we had to get there in the early morning if we wanted to experience the full selection. Farine is in the heart of old town Marblehead and was a 5 minute walk from our Inn. They are much more than just bread. They have pastry, croissants, and coffee as well. On Sunday morning at 0815 hours, the plan was to take some bread back home with us since there is no bread in NJ. Just kidding. We have a great bread place in town. When I walked up, I noticed the line was already 20 people deep outside. Good news, the line moves. The smell while you wait and when you enter was worth the price alone. I ordered a loaf of the rye blend and a loaf of the whole wheat. The bread was warm. When we got home and sliced it up, it was outstanding. Fresh and soft! Worth the wait. The service was very friendly and the prices are very reasonable coming from NJ. There are a couple of tables outside but this is a "to go" place only. Worth the stop!

Arthur's Italian pastry shop is an old-school Medford Italian bakery. The outside, and the…read moreinterior, have old world charm. The employee who waited on me was very friendly, and we chatted for a little while after I ordered. The refrigerator cases looked a little bit empty, but they were clean and maybe I just went at a time of year that is not super busy. I ordered cannoli, tiramisu, a Whoopie pie and a slice of ricotta pie. The cannolis are filled to order (which is what you want in order to avoid sogginess). The tiramisu rolls are beautiful. The ricotta pie was pretty good. The whoopie pie cake was good but the filling is a sugary frosting, and I prefer a lighter texture. None of the items were the best I've ever had but all were good and I would definitely get the cannolis again.
