My favorite indulgence there is the chocolate hazelnut rugelach, a melt-in-your-mouth taste experience. I usually buy a bunch, then take them home, slice them in half (to pace myself!) and freeze them. They freeze beautifully. Honestly, I have not had something there I didn't like, including the coffees. It's a great place to hang, and the staff is always warm and welcoming. Due to my passion for her rugelach, the owner recognizes me now, and whenever I see her, I tell her--every single time--that she is my hero.

When it comes to a wedding cake, Dessert Works in Westwood is truly the go-to place. Their team has…read moreperfected a system to help couples design their ideal wedding cake, and the experience could not have been smoother. The process begins about three months in advance with a consultation, where you sit down with their talented designers to bring your vision to life. From that meeting, you're presented with several different flavors to sample. Pro Tip: have a few helpers ready at home when you receive the samples--you get more than enough for two people! For our wedding, we chose a Boston Cream Pie and strawberry combination, and it was absolutely delightful. Not only was the flavor incredible, but the design perfectly matched our cultural theme. The decorations were placed with precision, and it was clear that the team took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. One highlight was the "topper piece", which is cream-based and made for a perfect treat the day after our wedding. While many couples save their cake for their one-year anniversary, ours was simply too good to wait. By the third day after our wedding, the cake was gone--leaving us only with the tasteful memory of how special it was. If you are working with The Lenox Hotel, you'll benefit from their partnership with Dessert Works. And if you're not tied to a specific venue, but have the option to choose your own cake vendor, I can't recommend Dessert Works enough. They will make your wedding day both delightful and delicious!

My mom doesn't remember much these days, but she did remember there was another big slice of Mimi's delicious cake in her refrigerator the next day. Beyond the expert baking, Mimi is a great businesswoman. We changed our plans last-minute, and without batting an eye, Mimi changed our order from a teeny little cake to the big, custom-decorated cake you see in the picture with just 24 hours' notice. Mimi is also excellent at proactively communicating with customers - confirming at every step so we were always confident a beautiful, custom-decorated cake would be delivered right on time - and it was! Sweet Mimi's is now my go-to bakery for sure - and it should be yours too!

I will start with background observations. This is a very pleasant and typical Portuguese bakery…read more It is NOT a French bakery, nor Italian or Brazilian. Any proper Portuguese bakery must make fresh loaves of sweet bread. Yes, this bakery has the requisite homemade sweet bread (a note: growing up in Rhode Island, where there is a substantial Portuguese population, I had Portuguese sweet bread all the time--try it for French toast--but I have not yet tried Stoughton bakery's). And it has delicious custard tarts, and egg tarts, too. And they have Portuguese fried dough (it has a name in Portuguese, which I can't remember!) which is chewy and sugary, and has a gentle hint of lemon. Yum. It's on a side street very near the Stoughton MBTA station. It's a small and very clean place, with somewhat limited offerings, but everything I have had is the real deal. The woman who works there is a kind and gentle sort, and the prices are super affordable. I will note that it may be around a 3.5, but I rounded it up to 4 stars, as I was very happy to find this!

I need to find out what it was because it made the best French toast, my family has ever had. Going back to buy more.

Yesterday was the cake tasting. Verdict - so good it is a reason to get married!…read more We were escorted to a back room full of cake models , offered coffee and water, and filled out a form. Then the cake! 8 slices of some favorite flavor combinations, with a very long list of alternatives flavors and fillings. I was amazed at how _little_ we left on the plates. The pricing is crazy inexpensive, even when compared to the inferior choices. As of March 2026, $7 per person across a wide range of flavors and exterior designs. There are elaborate things one can do to drive the price up (gold leaf, anyone?), but we were wholly satisfied with the basic offering. And at that pricing, why would anyone accept the restaurant alternative of display cake + sheet cake? A heads up - for the smaller (two tier) cake you can and should handle the delivery to the restaurant / reception hall.

Great food and service…read more We came here to take-out food since we were on a rush to get to another destination. We were delighted with the variety of dishes they had to offer. My daughter and I intended to only order one dish and share since they had very big servings. Upon seeing the menu and the food on display, we walked out with a steak plate, some dip, and two Dubai chocolates. I hope to be able to visit again to try all the other cakes and items on the menu. Come and you will not be disappointed. The person on the counter is very helpful and makes great recommendations.

My eyes were fixated on the gigantic cookies on top, but then my eyes looked down, and I saw it. It was the blueberry lemon muffin. That's actually one of my favorite combos. This thing was so moist with tons of blueberries. My taste buds were shocked at the goodness of quality and taste. Who brags about ice water? I have to. Ice cold water with crushed ice. Did you ever try a passionfruit crème brûlée, well I did, with a touch of tartness and not overly sweet, it was the best crème brûlée ever!
