Married on 08/23/2019 in Boston…read more Patty created a cake beyond our imaginations! I found Patty and Luna Sweets well over a year from my wedding and just seeing pictures of her work I knew I had to work with her. From the first moment we spoke she was extremely responsive and helpful. When it came time for our cake tasting and design meeting several months before our wedding, my husband and I were so incredibly impressed. We walked into her studio and it was beautifully decorated and Patty warmly greeted us. She brought us to the table where a gorgeous display of cake pieces were waiting. As we tasted each flavor and filling of cake Patty explained how she likes to design her cakes for her cakes with inspiration from various aspects of the wedding. We were blown away by the freshness of each of the slices of cake we tasted and left the tasting very excited to see the design she would sketch for us after our meeting. Not one of Patty's cakes is the same. She is truly an artist and a master at her craft taking painstaking amounts of time and effort into each and every detail. Not to mention that she bakes her cakes completely from scratch with fresh ingredients. We decided on a light and fluffy strawberry shortcake for one layer and chocolate dulce de leche for the other layers. Patty even took the time to sketch a cake for us on the spot to explain the various prices and options. We left the cake tasting feeling very well informed as to what we could expect for design and price. A few weeks later I was emailed a beautiful sketch of the cake. I didn't want or need to change a thing! The best thing about working with Patty is just letting her creativity guide the design process and watching the magnificent end result. The day of our wedding the cake was positioned near the sweetheart table and I could NOT stop staring at it. It was in a word: BREATHTAKING. Our guests kept running over to take pictures of it. It was truly something to behold and exceeded my expectations. I couldn't believe at my wedding I had something so beautiful. When it came time to eat the cake, this hungry bride asked for TWO slices so that I could eat each flavor. Oh my GOODNESS it was beyond delicious and I ate both pieces! We received countless compliments on how fresh and decadent each layer tasted. As a testament to Patty's talent we went home with the top of our cake and decided to eat half of it throughout the week after our wedding. (Preserving the other half for our one year anniversary) I swear to you the cake is just as delicious days later! I cannot recommend Patty and Luna Sweets enough to any bride and groom. Her prices are extremely reasonable for the custom designs, time, effort and quality of her cakes. Above all, Patty is a kind and helpful person who only wants her clients to be happy and it shows throughout the way she conducts business. We couldn't be happier with our experience :)

Ivory Pot moved from Eastern Ave. They have an updated menu for the new location and I hope that…read morelots of people discover them! I ordered a birthday cake and received a gorgeous and delicious chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling. Yummmm! I also had a tasty lunch hand pie of vegetables and chicken. Again, yummy! The owner is a lovely woman from Cote d'Ivoire and France. If you have a few minutes to chat, she's got wonderful stories and insights in addition to excellent pastries. She's been trained in France and the US, and brings that international skill to her work, offering both the familiar options, but also more continental recipes if you want a flavor beyond the usual. The shop has a few tables, good coffee, and those lunch hand pies or savory croissants. There's street parking and some interesting shops in walking distance. Lynn itself is a historic colonial town that has grown up into an industrial and commercial town. Like most old towns, it has ups and downs, but it's always ready to roll up the sleeves and work. I hope you find some of the good things here, including the Ivory Pot!

Subpar Gluten Free Desserts!…read more If you are looking for quickly delivered baked goods, Sweet is wonderful. My review is of their gluten and dairy free goods - and not of their delivery service or presentation, which were excellent. I received their cupcakes, and a custom order birthday cake, as a surprise for my birthday. I had somehow forgotten, when mentioning in passing to my significant other that they deliver assorted cupcakes, just how dry and flavorless the cupcakes I've had from Sweet have been. The cupcakes and the cake are both incredibly dry and bland. Not only that, but the "seasonal mix" of cupcakes are just vanilla and chocolate. It tastes like the cake was made several days before it was delivered. Frosting is so so. Their other treats may be wonderful, but if you are eating gluten free/dairy free - seriously look elsewhere (Pure Pastry, Something Sweet Without Wheat, Flour.... lots of other local options).

The strawberry donut was soft with a sweet glaze that actually tasted like real strawberries, not that fake candy flavor. The lemon poppyseed had a nice citrusy kick, a little more dense than the others, but in a good way. The Maine blueberry was the standout. Bursting with flavor and the glaze wasn't overly sugary. You could taste actual blueberry in every bite. They're definitely on the bigger side. Everything felt fresh and made with care. The shop itself is laid back, no rush, has that Massachusetts vibe to it. Prices are a little higher than your average donut shop, but the quality is there. Solid spot if you're into creative flavors that still feel homemade. Highly recommend.

The team LOVED the cake so much that we ended up placing another order for the same week Their customer service is great and everyone is so kind! When it was time for pickup, I was honestly surprised at how big the place actually is. It's a bakery AND a deli, they do catering, and they even have seating inside! The ambience is very New York feeling It literally made me feel like I was back at home. And they really have EVERYTHING in there! They have iced lattes like cookie butter, pumpkin spice, and so many more flavors. Pies, cookies, cakes, pastries, ALLLL the desserts you can think of.

But as we can't try them all in one visit, we ordered two of the Citrus Blueberry Corn Slices and two Sticky Bun Lattes (iced and hot). Those corn slices I can write home about. Or better yet, post about it on Yelp! They were moist and not crumbly, the blueberries added an extra pop of juicy flavor and paired so well. It was the perfect snack. The Sticky Bun Lattes were a great warm up for the opposing grey rain sky. Sweet hot caffeine, is there anything better?

Though considering it's Salem during October, this is probably the same with most other places. It probably took me 30 mins or so to get the food after getting in line. I had their tater tots, classic, and the sausage egg and cheese. For their classic, I got it with croissant as the "bread." It's supposed to come with sriracha sauce but I didn't really taste it. For the sausage egg and cheese, I had their cheese and herb. Eating it, it tastes like a Brazilian cheese bread (pao de queijo) and it's shaped like a biscuit. It's a place I enjoyed and would definitely come again!

My husband who is not gluten free also loved this place and had an egg sandwich one day, and some sort of tater tot bowl the second day!
