I am deeply thankful to have actual real food nearby, not just a McDonald's etc. I go there with my son and my baby, and the people there have always been very kind and welcoming, despite my son's behavior not always being the calmest! Their falafel plate is delightful. The French pizza was also delicious, I had some with chicken and roasted veggies last time I was there and it was sooooooo good! I am curious to try their crepes. They also serve breakfast, eggs etc. They also have delicious coffee and FABULOUS pastries, so fancy and they taste just as good as they look!

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.

We were there to grab some breakfast and ordered pomegranate juice, cherry juice, two pastries, one mesaman (Moroccan flatbread) with a side of honey and cream cheese), one mesakhan roll (chicken and onion).

I was here around noon on a weekend and while all the baked goods were tempting, I opted to get a traditional Lebanese breakfast for $19.99. Felt slightly overpriced but I had to give it a try. It comes with Manouche, labneh, foul, veggies and pita. Instead of the orange juice I got a morrocon tea. It's definitely a plate foul of food! Everything tasted delicious. The service is kind. They serve everything hot so there is a little bit of a wait. Great place to work from in the mornings or just catch up with your friends. I can't wait to be back!

PIZZA SCORE - ( 3 OUT OF 10 )…read more Placed a order from this place off a recommendation from a older local gentalman that raves about this place constantly. This is a Bakery/ food shop that sells other types of food items. I personally was not a fan of anything I ordered. Everything, I do mean everything did look very appealing upon getting it in front of me. Smelled good. Giant portions had me wowed. These local restaraunts are really hit or miss. I did not grow up with this particular chains taste in foods. I found nothing had any taste. Everything was just very bland to me. Not exactly bad though. Not sure if this is intentional to keep everything low salt and tad bit healthier. Maybe I was having a weird day. Pretty average pricing. Well worth it for the portion sizes. I was had high expectations from a place I've passed for years but never actually tried. I was disapointed. You will have to try it for yourself I guess. Start conservative with the smallest sized items. Not by any means a bad score. I'm just a critique who has a ranking going. Just a note I did not try any of pasteries this day. It was just food items. Primarily the Pizza slice which was the target of the day.

Now as…read moreanyone knows when bread keeps having giant holes in it is not being handled properly by the baker before hand. 4 Why does my bread keep doing this? : r/Breadit To prevent large, unwanted air holes (or tunnels) in bread, bakers focus on proper fermentation, firm shaping, and degassing the dough. Key techniques include avoiding under-proofing, degassing the dough thoroughly after the first rise, using adequate gluten development, and creating tension during shaping to ensure a tight crumb. Key Techniques to Prevent Large Holes: Proper Fermentation (Avoid Under-proofing): Large, single cavities are often caused by under-proofed dough, which allows gases to expand unevenly during baking. Ensure the dough is fully proofed. Degassing and "Knocking Back": Gently but thoroughly deflate the dough after its first rise (bulk fermentation) to pop large gas bubbles, preventing them from becoming huge pockets. Firm Shaping & Surface Tension: When shaping loaves, make sure to fold and roll the dough tightly to eliminate gaps. Pop any visible surface air bubbles with a toothpick before the final proof. Proper Scoring: Score the loaf deeply enough. If the crust forms too fast and gas cannot escape, it can lead to "flying roof" or tunnels. Avoid Excessive Dusting Flour: Too much extra flour during folding can create, rather than prevent, big holes in the crumb. Check Dough Handling: Perform 3-4 gentle "coil folds" during bulk fermentation, rather than over-working it, to strengthen the structure

They're so moist! The cakes are always a success with our extended family, too. It's fun to joke with people who ask what the three milks are (e.g. "Cow, sheep and llama!"), but they're in fact evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream.
