Perfect for 2 people (or 1-Im not judging). The owner was there and she is so so friendly-such a peach. My cupcakes held up for an 85 degree day, lunch, and a 90 min drive home pretty well! I was shocked. Love how they are all so uniquely tasting and decorating, This is not a lazy bake shop. I also saw cookies, brownies, the viral dot cakes, and edible cookie dough. They also had a fridge with some beverages. If you're in the city, they do online ordering and delivery!

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. The frosting on the lemon cupcake was intensely lemony, and the chocolate frosting was rich and smooth. 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.

It's one of my favorites and is absolutely huge! The ricotta filling is absolutely delicious! I will say the shell tasted super sweet, like pure sugar. This cannoli was literally the size of my hand and is definitely big enough to share! This location is cash only!! I saw so many people outside disappointed that they had to find an atm. Also, mikes is definitely the most assessable, they have multiple locations around the city and even a spot in the airport!

Never experienced anything like that before..and considering I had to still wait for it, my patience was non existent when I finally ate them. So if you want to try for yourself don't be like me and bring at least 20$ cash

Some favorites are their sticky buns, hazelnut -almond dacquoise, and triple chocolate mousse cakes. Today, I got a warmed sticky bun which didn't disappoint. It was soft, gooey & nutty deliciousness. One can totally understand why it beat Bobby Flay. Their drink game is honestly mid, so I just go for iced americanos to keep it simple. Their lattes are a little flavorless at times. Otherwise I love the cozy vibes & yummy treats at Flour Bakery.

First of all, the pastry case just beautifully displays all the baked goods. It's quite a sight to see! I love the variety and flavors, very unique. If you know what you want, gotta get in line and grab it quick! If you wanna put in your own order, you can use the kiosk, which is really fun to use. I ordered a chai with oat milk (it's very light in flavor) and got a bialy. Honestly I had not had a bialy in over 25+ years... and was surprised to see it in the case and I had to have it. A corn + cheddar bialy. It did NOT disappoint. I also got london fog with oat milk previously, also very nice, but this place was soooo good we had to come back. My daughter loves pop tarts so when she saw it in the case, she got a blueberry pop tart and said it was very flakey and the jam was very jamful. It was the-last-one, even had the sign stuck in it!! She also got the french toast (2 slices) with kid's milk and said it was the best french toast she's ever had. My sis got a chocolate pain suisse, which I had never seen before. It's basically brioche filled with pastry cream and chocolate. It looked delicious and with coffee, my sis ate the whole thing up. All in all, this place has so much delicious eats.. I can understand if you live here, you could come every morning and still not get to everything in the pastry case! Definitely be back if we're in the Boston area again.

It was a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream and chocolate ganache, topped with raspberries. First of all, it was beautiful! My mom ordered a heart shaped cake which was perfect for the holiday. The ganache was shiny and rich, the raspberries on top were perfectly fresh, and when we cut into it, I was blown away by all the layers (the more layers, the more frosting!). I didn't tell any of my friends at first that the cake was gluten-free, and all they had to say was how rich, chocolatey, and moist the layers were. They could not believe it when I told them! My favorite part, though, had to be the buttercream frosting. I consider myself a frosting expert, and this was by far the best I have ever had. I wish I could by cans of this stuff, in bulk. It was unbelievably smooth and just the right amount of sweet, with a real vanilla flavor. The bottom line: whether you're gluten-free or not, Gracie Cakes is the way to go!

Then I got to the display case. The pastry jewels behind that classic bakery glass made everything else disappear. There were so many desserts, too many to name, and they all looked absolutely scrumptious. Every time I thought I'd made up my mind, I'd spot another treat that looked just as tempting. For stomach-room's sake, I limited myself to two options, but honestly, I could've happily sampled a dozen. Everything I tried was delicious, and the hardest part of the experience was deciding what not to order. Bova's is exactly the kind of bakery you hope to stumble upon while traveling. I'll gladly return to try more on my next adventure to BOS.

I really enjoyed the richness of the cannoli and the shell was not too sweet. I will say this bakery is the most affordable, I got both these pastries for only $11.
