With their decadent moist cakes & dreamy frostings, everything they make is absolutely delicious. Keep in mind, their treats are all incredibly decadent, so they will definitely satisfy any sugar cravings. Also, their staff are just as sweet as their treats. Really kind folks all around. Highly recommend giving them a try! There is a reason everyone and their moms love Lyndell's, so go see for yourself.

The cookies are fantasy, and the cream pie was soooo good. They don't have many old-school bakeries around like they used to. This one was opened in 1887, so you know it's good! They did mention they are moving to the larger space on the corner, so expect even more and better things from Lyndell's once that is complete!

The spot is known for their Persian spin on great classics, and many of the typical French offerings. I got to try their pistachio croissant and a black sesame latte. Both were very good. The croissant was excellent; dough was perfect, not overly sweet. Tons of pistachio on the inside. It's topped with a hefty amount of what tastes a bit like cream cheese (but it's probably something else, that's just what it reminds me of). Highly recommend trying it. The black sesame latte came recommended by the staff member. Also very good, nice unique flavor and made with in house syrup! I will say though, it was a little bit gritty as you got to the end of the latte. Theres also an area to sit outside and inside. All in all, an amazing spot that I'd love to visit again!

There was a short line but moving along quite efficiently. I tried the focaccia - which evoked memories of Sicilian style pizza (especially given mine had pesto and corn on it). I tried the plain croissant as well, having missed my shot at the last slice of spinach-feta). It wasn't as dense as American croissants tend to be but not as fluffy and airy as French ones either. It did taste amazing and 100% satisfying, without needing additional cheese or condiments to support it. The latte was top-notch - legitimate beans and perfect balance of strength, texture and flavor. Kudos!

Michette is a French bakery in Somerville, Massachusetts, known for its creative pastries and…read morebreads. It has received national recognition which was why we visited. Metered street parking was available. The lines moved fairly quickly when we visited. My raspberry matcha latte had to be made twice so the wait was a bit longer than usual. While I waited, I ended up getting back in line and ordering more pastries. The matcha latte was excellent, not too sweet. The pizza dough was amazing. I literally engulfed the entire chocolate chip pastry and forgot to let my husband try a piece. All of the pastries were delightful. I can see why they received national attention as one of the best bakery. If they were closer to my home, I would be in trouble. See my pictures!

I love a top tier gourmet breakfast sandwich, so this place was high on my list while I was back…read morehome in Boston for a few days. I was staying with my sister, who had never been here but had seen it featured on Phantom Gourmet. My TikTok research had also put this spot in the top two for breakfast sandwiches, and it was only the next town over, so we had to give it a try. We lucked out and found parking right in front, then headed inside. I was immediately intrigued by the Anadama English muffin because it reminded me of a brown bread I grew up with in Massachusetts. If you've had the brown bread at Cheesecake Factory, it's somewhat similar, but less sweet, less dark and more complex (an "adult" version if you will). They also had a rotating monthly special, a Portuguese English muffin, which was very tempting. In the end, we stuck to our original plan and ordered a breakfast sandwich on the Anadama muffin with egg, ham, and cheese. Whoa. This thing was rich, hearty, and absolutely delicious. It was one of those sandwiches that makes you stop talking for a minute and just appreciate what you're eating. Honestly, I almost wished I had a hangover because it would have been the ultimate cure. The Anadama muffin completely lived up to my expectations. If I lived nearby, I would absolutely buy a four pack once or twice a month and keep them in the freezer. A fantastic breakfast sandwich and well worth the trip. Sadly there are no bathrooms, which seems strange for a coffee shop, but luckily the general store next door is same owners and opened just as we were leaving and could not have been nicer about letting us use the facilities.

Seemed busy for early Sunday morning. Short wait. 3 of us. Mr Mustard : loved it. America Classic +Bacon. Looked great. She loved it. G.O.A.T.: he loved it. We got a buttered muffin to share. They do a great job with their muffins, which they make in house ! Nice crunch outside but soft chewy center. We bought a couple of 4 packs for home. They disappeared quickly so we ordered more online. Delivered a few days later and they were as good as what we got at the store. Make our own muffin sandwiches now. Just placed a second online order. Looking forward to going back.!! I want to try the meatloaf. Well done Vinal.

Although, the iced coffee and cold brew were good. The breakfast sandwich was the star of the show though, the Egg & Feta sandwich was perfectly balanced with greens, feta, fluffy egg and delicious bread. I was happy to see they had a few tables outside because inside was crowded and I was there alone and didn't want to take up an entire indoor table.

Very friendly staff, easy to read menu largely on one wall, not crowded and easy to order. Clean and bright inside with about 4 counter seats by the window. We ordered one each of espresso, lemon, and pistachio cannolis, walked around the corner and sat in a cool alley with a bench to enjoy them. The cream is very rich, sweet (2/3 would be enough! Very generous). The pastry is crispy and breaks easily when you bite into it (the paper is helpful to hold it together). Glad we came!

The staff here are always so friendly and efficient. While their cannolis are rather expensive ($7-$10 for 1) it does make your day 200% better when you get one of their sweet treats.

What's not to like?

Since moving to Boston, I hardly see pie on the menu....well today I found a new pie place!!! As soon as I walked in I was met with friendly faces. The pastry counter was filled with fresh baked goods and they even had samples out. This is strictly a pick-up and go, it's not setup like a cafe with tables. I bought the banana cream for a work event and a few minis to take home for me and my hubby. The banana cream was good-admittedly, it was more on the sweeter side than I expected. I really enjoyed the crust - it wasn't too buttery and cooked perfectly. It was def a hit. My hubby and I enjoyed sampling the blueberry, apple, and cherry crumble. Of the three, the apple was my favorite which actually surprised me. The blueberry was OK, not as sweet as I would have liked - opposite of the banana cream. And the cherry was perfectly tart-I really appreciated the crumble. All in all, I will def be back. Can't wait to follow their social media to see what the monthly specials are. Street parking is tough, I rec parking in star market if you're quick. You can also order ahead for a quicker pickup and they deliver within a 6-mile radius as long as you place the order by noon the day before.
