When I arrived at the shop to pick up the order, it was beautifully packed and waiting for me in 2 shopping bags. The entire process could not have been easier. We had a large enough order that I had six of each variety she baked that day. The cupcakes are as lovely as they are delicious. My team were having a hard time deciding which one they wanted but the comments on every flavor were very complimentary. I will be ordering lovely treats from Pipedream again. Nadine is great to work with and the cupcakes are fantastic.

I came across Love + Flour's booth at Snowport in Boston, so this review is for their baked goods…read moreand not the physical location. But now that I know they're in Salem, I'll be visiting very soon! The macarons were front and center in the booth, and I kept goggling at how beautiful they were. They are slightly larger macarons with generous fillings and bejeweled shells ($3.75 each). I asked the person manning the booth what her favorites were (sugar cookie and cookie dough), but I still had trouble deciding which to try, there were so many unique flavors. She was very helpful though. Macarons are generally gluten free, but some flavors had cookie or cake crumbs and were labeled as containing gluten (fyi all served in the same case). These macarons were certainly not dairy free, but I decided to try them anyways; they were way too tempting. The Tall Man and I ended up getting a guava and a gingerbread macaron. His dad got a pistachio and a cosmic brownie (typical brownie vs the peppermint version). If I had known he was going to get some, it would have made more sense to get a half dozen. Macarons aren't cheap cookies, but they were certainly worth it. The guava was the plainest in appearance and taste. It wasn't decorated, and only the shell was flavored not the cream; it was too subtle and could have used a jam. The gingerbread was my favorite of our choices, spicy and not overly sweet with a nice textural crunch with the mini gingerbread sprinkles. The cosmic brownie had fun chunky sprinkles and a very fudgy texture, which was more brownie than macaron like (probably intentionally), but the taste was like a typical brownie so I would get something different next time. I didn't get to try the pistachio, but my father in law enjoyed it, and he doesn't even like cookies. Everything on display was beautifully fun to look at. I was also intrigued by their hot chocolate bombs and cake jars, but more as eye candy since they were full of gluten and dairy (but would make for great gifts!).

I drove five minutes back home and looked at the cake- no ariel and 2 of the mermaid tales on the cake were broken in half. i called the shop and she tried to tell me "your husband called and said he didn't want ariel on the cake". My husband didn't even know where i got the cake so i knew this was a lie. after almost 3 weeks of calling, emailing, messaging on instagram and commenting on fb post, i received an email from jamie stating she was "checking in". i emailed back asking for her to please call me and once again gave my phone number and still have yet to hear back. this is the worst customer service i have ever dealt with. would not recommend love and flour after spending almost $300 on a cake and dealing with all of this unnecessary stress.

I know they also make outstanding wedding cakes because I remember a few years ago, they replicated my in-laws' wedding cake for their 50th anniversary - everyone loved that cake, too. BUT, this signature cake...great job Three Sisters. I am now a HUGE fan!

The cupcakes tasted amazing, too! The cake part wasn't super-moist, so it held its shape and tasted great, but the frosting was the real star.

I and the other non-vegans at the party couldn't tell that they were vegan, and our host was delighted to know that there is a bakery nearby that caters to her needs. I'll definitely be coming back to try the regular cupcakes soon!

We ordered 4 dozen cupcakes for my grandfather's 80th birthday to be picked up this weekend, and…read morethe experience was far from stellar. We had family coming from all across the country, and had rented a boat, and were planning to pick up the cupcakes and bring them on board so we could celebrate on the ship. We were traveling from out of state and were planning to arrive a bit sooner than expected, so I called the shop and asked to pick them up an hour early. I was told this was not an option, as they would not be ready. Totally fine, I understand that change was last minute. We decided to stick with our original 2:00 pickup time. 15 minutes before the scheduled pickup time, I received a call stating that they were an hour behind. I told the owner that this would be an issue, given that our boat left at 3:00. She offered to do free delivery, which we accepted. I provided the address and reiterated that we were leaving at 3:00, so we would need them before that time. She said she would call me when she arrived. 3:00 came and went, and our boat set sail, with no cupcakes. At 4:15, I received a phone call saying "I'm here with the cupcakes. I hope you guys aren't on the boat that's leaving!" We had left over an hour before... I explained that we were in the middle of the water, and reiterated that I told her numerous times we were leaving at 3, to which she said "she didn't understand that." Not quite sure how I could have been more clear about that, but I digress. She asked what we wanted to do and offered a refund, which we accepted. Disappointed is an understatement. When someone is turning 80 years old, you don't know how many birthdays they have left, and you want to make it special for them. This whole experience definitely put a damper on the day.

This bakery has such a great and unique selection of whoopie pies and everyone is sure to find a flavor they'll love. I got a hot chocolate and a Boston creme whoopie pie and both were very delicious. The bakery was very busy at the time I was there and I did not find a seat, even as just one person. Luckily the building it's in has other seating which I found to be nicer and quieter than eating in the bakery. I will also say that the flow of the bakery is confusing. After walking in the door, you have to walk through most of the space to get in line, and then stand at the bar, in between seats to get any drinks you ordered. It wasn't too bad, but definitely felt a bit odd to me which was the main reason for 4 stars instead of 5.
