a close up of a pastry

I love this place!! I stopped in when spending a week in Boston to get items to freeze for fall when I was done traveling. I started defrosting them this week and am so impressed!! The rolls I bought are so soft and fluffy. The cinnamon cookies are melt in your mouth delicious. It's tough to find nut free baked goods that actually are delicious but this place nailed it! I also tried the flatbread crisps in everything flavor and they were really flavorful. Five stars for food and friendliness as I had a ton of questions. I'll be back!

Thank you for creating this delicious chocolate chip cookie cake for my husband's special birthday ! The orange race car was absolutely perfect! It tasted as good as it looks! Your cakes, muffins, half moons, and rugulach are the very best!

Lovely decoration

Reviewing this place on every site I go to. The second my party took a bite of the cake we were blown away! I ordered chocolate with chocolate mousse, raspberry frosting (!!!!) And chocolate ganache. The raspberry frosting had such great flavour! Like, I can't even properly explain how great this cake tasted. I would order from here even if their weren't lactose free people eating it. I ordered over the phone and just said it was for a 31 yo man so just modern decoration. They did a phenomenal job and were an absolute pleasure to work with. I haven't been in the store, but my boyfriend picked up some of their pound cake/breads and they are also delicious. So happy to have found this place!

Kosher Jewish bakery that's also nut-free and vegan, though I'm not sure if vegan extends to all of the items. Rugelach: If all items are vegan, that would explain the rugelach flavor coming mostly from sugar, and not butter like at the best Jewish bakeries in NYC. The texture and dough flavor is similar to a Dunkin Donuts chocolate chip muffin top--which ain't bad, but ain't NYC rugelach. Fillings were the highlight, with a chewy gel on the raspberry and a dark chocolate with intensity. Gingerbread "Person": Yup, I guess this is an equal opportunity bake shop. Closer to a cookie texture, and thinner, than the classic bendable/chewy gingerbread man, and no raisins. Pleasant enough, but glad we bought only one. Babka: This is what we came for, but it was pre-packaged on the shelf and not in the case. It had the appearance of a grocery store version, so we passed. Service: Several reviews mention rudeness, but that was not even close to the case on our Sunday morning visit.

Dairy-free nut-free croissant

My office contained people with both dairy and nut allergies, so it was often difficult to find a bakery that could appease everyone. Luckily, if you drive down Commenwealth Ave in Newton the sign says it all... Dairy-free Nut-free Bakery. They even often offer egg-free and vegan pastries which can be even harder to find. So now you might be thinking, can a nut-free dairy-free Bakeshop even be good? YESS!!! I felt like the true test would be can they make a butter, flakey croissant without real butter.. they can! Everything I've had there has been delicious, but may favorites are: Bags of assorted rugelach Fruit pies (and they do Pumpkin for Thanksgiving) Challahs: sweet, raisin, whole wheat, etc Quiches (SO good) Mac & Cheese (dairy-free and delicious) Baguettes (great flavor and texture) Vegetable Pot Pies Blueberry Muffins Birthday Cakes With coronavirus, they set up online ordering and Missy of their menu can be delivered and it came quickly and so fresh. You can also call and preorder to pick up. If you don't preorder, they usually have a decent line outside and serve one person at a time. If you celebrate Jewish holidays, be sure to preorder all of their traditional Jewish foods like Hanukkah Cookies, Pesach Desserts, and honey cakes for Rosh Hashanah.

I was up in the area and I was hungry and I thought this place looked pretty nice from the outside…read more I did try opening the door and I almost thought it was locked. The front door was very hard to open went inside. They had a really nice clean seating area . Everything was pre-done so plates and silverware. We're already on tables done ahead of time. Not sure if that's good or bad depends on how long they sit out in the open I would've liked to have ordered something that had all a complete meal together, but I missed the luncheon Specials which made or forced me to order separately. It came out very quickly all packaged in the bag cause I was taking out and I paid and when I paid, I almost passed out with the price. I'll add the slip to the review out of the entire meal. I had the crab Rangoon when I was in my car cause I was hungry. I didn't feel like staying at the restaurant the crab Rangoon were excellent waited till I got home for the entire rest of the meal. Add a whole container of pork fried rice started to have a little bit on that one and I didn't find any pork in it, but I did have some vegetable stuff in it so that was kinda OK but it'd be nice to have pork unless it's at the bottom, I haven't gotten that far The general Gau's chicken was very rubbery and it all stuck together as one clump in my takeout not sure if it would've been any better eating in the restaurant but I've had some very good takeout from other restaurants and this just wasn't it like I said the chicken in it was very rubbery and stringy. It did have broccoli three pieces in the takeout. What I really was looking for was one single container with general gau's chicken Some pork fried rice with a couple of crab Rangoon's. I'm not local, but I do travel there due to my jobs. This is one place. I probably won't make an appearance again due to the takeout quality of the meal. So if you're looking for a really good crab Rangoon, they definitely did a great job on that And maybe it would've been better as a eat in situation rather than a takeout situation

I'd probably share it next time so I could try more but a great meal and would try more from here. Very authentic Chinese food.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Lehrhaus. The menu is on the smaller side but with a good…read morerange of fun and interesting, Jewish-inspired options that skew vegetarian (I.e. a beet Reuben and an eggplant dish that is a play on chopped liver). The Reuben was perfectly grilled and rich in flavor and the fries were lightly crispy and well seasoned. The cocktails were fantastic with a good array of flavor profiles. Service was great, as well, and we were well attended to throughout. While it's not necessarily fine dining, I would definitely recommend as an excellent option for drinks or a casual meal with family or friends!

I've been meaning to try Lehrhaus for a while, and I'm really glad that I did! It seems pretty easy…read moreto get a reservation on a weekday, but you just have to watch out for its schedule since it's closed on Fridays, Saturdays, and Jewish holidays. The interior is spacious and the service was great. I fell in love with the chopped not-liver ($13), which is a delicious eggplant spread that doesn't taste like eggplant but has a great savory flavor with a slight wine aroma. The pita bread that came with it was so warm, pillowy, and chewy. This dish was just perfection. There's an eggplant dip (Oren's eggplant) in the Bay that I have been craving, and now I have something in Cambridge that is just as good if not better. The haus smoked whitefish ($12) was also quite good. It had a lot of fish but wasn't too fishy, had good flavor and came with crunchy crackers. The fish and chips ($24) was tasty as well -- the chips are really crunchy and the fish was flaky and crunchy, and the sauce was interesting and spicy. Lastly, we got the halva ice cream sundae ($12), which was pretty decent with a lot of crunchy bits. I'm not a big fan of nutty flavors or milky ice cream, so I'm not sure if I'd get it again. There is a 20% gratuity automatically applied (we had 2 people, so I don't think it's due to party size). Service was great -- people kept checking on us and refilling our water. In conclusion, the eggplant chopped not-liver was amazing and it's everything I've been looking for. I'm excited to try more of their offerings.
