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!

She explained all the goods they had to offer and answered any questions we had. We decided to get 6 mini cupcakes: Pros: Creative flavors and every cupcake had a filling. I was very happy with every cupcake I ate. My favorite was definitely the carrot cake or snickers but truly, I was pleased with all the cupcakes I tried. They were not too dry and the filling choices were incredible. Cons: the pricing is ridiculous but maybe it's normal for Boston? $23 for 6 mini cupcakes is absurd to me.

I stopped in the other day to get some vegan cupcakes to bring to a dinner party. They had a large…read moreselection of flavors and the cupcakes all looked beautiful. 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!

This is my second time ordering from this Southeast Asian dessert shop!…read more Coconut Pandan Cake: I'm not a big fan of pandan, but this one had a very gentle and soothing aroma. The cake itself is light and delicate, the cream is smooth and not too sweet, and the coconut sauce on top is like glutinous rice, with a sticky texture and a satisfying sweetness. Tiramisu: Although not Southeast Asian, it's equally excellent! The coffee infused the cake, and the cream was smooth and creamy. Personally, I think it would be even better if it were a little more bitter.

I sent her a few pictures of what I had in mind, and she was able to customize a cake within my budget that still kept the theme of the pictures that I sent.

Flour Bakery really does a great job keeping their pastry quality consistent across all their…read morestores! You really can't go wrong with their sweets. 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.

This place rocks so much we came back for a second time, though our stay at Seaport was so short…read moreand originally we wanted to use every meal at a different spot. 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.

Ordering is simple (automated or in-person), and our food arrived in approximately 5 minutes (delivered to our table.) Pleasant music plays overhead, and the dining space is well lit.

We all agreed we would eat here in the future.

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!

Bova's Bakery was highly recommended to me to come here by a local for their baked goods and…read morecannolis. Over two visits (the first time I came by myself and the second time, my husband wanted to come), I ended up purchasing: Original Cannoli, Large Lobster Tail, Pistachio Cannoli, Boston Cream Donut, Tiramisu. To be honest the cannolis here are not good. Because they are prefilled, the shell becomes soggy, which is rather disappointing. Cannolis are best filled right before eating but I can understand why Bova's Bakery fills them ahead of time.... to cut down on the time waiting and making it easier for customers to get in and out. The lobster tail was okay but I didn't find it to be anything really special. I felt the same way about the Boston cream donut. Of the things that we purchased, I liked the tiramisu the best. Please note that they do take credit card but you are charged a small credit card fee, which was not disclosed to me when I paid. I just noticed the charge on the receipt the first time I came and then paid cash on the second visit. Service was friendly from both employees helping me on both visits. With the exception of an elderly woman who seemed rude. I think she may have been the owner or family. I don't know if Bova's Bakery is worth the hype... If I was to come back, it would just be for the tiramisu.
