I happen to pass by Pastry Land and it caught my eye. Pastry? That sounded good. And a quick…read moreglance at Yelp yielded a 4.5 star rating. Coming in, I first could see the individually portioned rectangles of cakes and viennoiseries. No prices. That's actually a pet peeve of mine, as I dislike needing to take up the attention of a employee just to ask what the price is of something, in case another customer is behind me. Next, to the left, I spied their various baklava type sweets. But we are trying to eat fewer sweets, so initially I thought this might just be a reconnaissance visit. Further along yielded some savories. I pointed at and asked for one apiece of their chicken phyllo triangle (chicken briwat - shredded spiced chicken with sweet onion), the spinach flatbread (spinach herb cheese), and semolina pancake (Golden Pancake). These were pretty good. And service was nice. The sweets I picked up on another visit were poofy, but the filling ratio a bit off. Averaging out to maybe 3.5 in my book?

You know how when we were kids we thought [most] adults had it all figured out? Then, even as we…read moreapproach or surpass 30 we all realize: "I still don't know what the heck I'm doing half of the time." The same is true of me and my reviews. One would think a 1,000+ reviews in I'd gain some level of confidence! Yet, there are still reviews where I feel I am just winging it. Of course, I try to give my thoughts and opinions as best I can, still, I feel as though I were approaching 30 and can't believe I am technically an adult. This is the case with Pastry Land. I've been in here probably half a dozen times, and only now have I decided to put words on paper by wasting your time with irrelevant metaphors. ONWARDS! Pastry Land has great European style cakes and pastries. Their selection is wide and varied, and the quality is terrific! Everything I've had is distinct, scrumptious, and not over-sweet. Okay, great, so why four stars? Well, with the exception of a pistachio baklava square that knocked my socks off, I didn't find their goods were above and beyond sufficient as to drag me back with the same magnetism as Tatté or Flour (for e.g. - I know these are in different categories). They meet expectations, which is a solid four in my book. For some final notes: I feel that the value is fair in light of the quality. Also, the location itself is spacious, very clean, and the staff are friendly.

I will start with background observations. This is a very pleasant and typical Portuguese bakery…read more It is NOT a French bakery, nor Italian or Brazilian. Any proper Portuguese bakery must make fresh loaves of sweet bread. Yes, this bakery has the requisite homemade sweet bread (a note: growing up in Rhode Island, where there is a substantial Portuguese population, I had Portuguese sweet bread all the time--try it for French toast--but I have not yet tried Stoughton bakery's). And it has delicious custard tarts, and egg tarts, too. And they have Portuguese fried dough (it has a name in Portuguese, which I can't remember!) which is chewy and sugary, and has a gentle hint of lemon. Yum. It's on a side street very near the Stoughton MBTA station. It's a small and very clean place, with somewhat limited offerings, but everything I have had is the real deal. The woman who works there is a kind and gentle sort, and the prices are super affordable. I will note that it may be around a 3.5, but I rounded it up to 4 stars, as I was very happy to find this!

I came here with the recommendation of my Haitian friend after loving Jamaican Patties in wanting…read moreto hear my thoughts on Haitian patties. I got an order of the beef patties and really enjoyed the flavor. I also got the fish, and although I couldn't finish the patty because of how strong the fish was, but it had a deeper flavor than the beef. We also ordered us the dulce which essentially is a very caramelized version of sweetened condensed milk with the consistency of fudge. **Try it with their Haitian bread and you won't regret it! I couldn't tell the difference between their bread and a regular roll, but my friend made it a point that we had to order some and try it. It was super soft, flaky, and dense. Definitely would come back again with my haitian friend, but probably not by myself. I had too many eyes on me from the moment I walked in, to the moment of the waiting, and even on the street back to the car.

The roast beef sandwich with gouda was so juicy and every bite made me want to cry because I live nowhere near this hidden gem. The sandwiches also come with juicy, tasty bread and butter pickles which are also made in house. I'm pretty sure her meat is nitrate free as well. She has a wonderful selection of teas available - however I didn't have time to try any. The meal was topped off with a light fluffy blondie - super yummy. Overall, I would highly recommend and if I'm near the area again I will most definitely be returning. (I forgot to mention how kind the owner was which made the meal just that much better!)

Her breads are TO DIE FOR and she will slice them for you if you're looking to use it for sandwiches! The crackers are fantastic, as well as the pizzas and little pies/tartlets. My mom swears by the chicken pot pies too! She'll also make something special for you if you ask. We asked for scones for next week. Absolutely would recommend checking out this place. If you go early, grab a warm coffee roll.

Everything looks fresh in the store. The owner speaks very little English but she has a very kind and warm smile. Love seeing mom and pop places like this. Go on in and give this place a try.

They are new but you can tell they will most likely expand. The woman who worked there told me she's going to start making juices and have other options. It's a nice place and very reasonable pricing. Give it a chance, you might find a new favorite bakery/spot! Love it here. The chicken and fish patties are my favorite. So crispy, warm, flakey, fresh and yummy! The perfect pattie!
