These are about the worst cookie I have ever had and I have been a home baker for many years -…read more there is absolutely no flavor to them! We bought some at a wine expo in Boston - two packs w/three cookies per pack at $10 each. One pack of p.butter chip the other C.Chip. You could barely taste any p.butter flavor in those cookies - maybe they aren't using a high quality p.butter??. I think they all have a bit too much flour added to them - I just read on the p.butter that they use both bread flour and cake flour which would explain it and they all need a touch of salt. Sorry - but I think they should go back to the drawing board on these.

Have been coming to this bakery for a few years now and they have yet to disappoint. If you do go,…read moreyou HAVE to try their "small pops" (no other bakery in the general area makes them) and their Casiero (not positive on the spelling) bread which you can have them slice. So good. They also have a great selection of desserts, cheese rolls (with or w/out meats) and even a few Portuguese favorites like fresh goats cheese and homeade pimenta (crushed red pepper sauce). Lastly, what would a Portuguese bakery be without their friendly staff? Well, Nova doesn't lack in this "dept" either. The owners and their staff are very knowledgeable and super friendly. Needless to say, we'll be back again very soon.

Fast forward to Saturday am....I wanted to make kale soup for the family dinner and instantly thought of that bread. I went early Saturday morning to Holiday Bakery and, as expected for a great Portuguese bakery, there was a line about eight people deep. I bought two loaves for a total of $5.......such a steal. There were so many other bakery treats calling my name, but with it being the New Year, I tried to behave. That said, let me tell you... this bread was outstanding. A semi-hard crust with an incredibly soft, fluffy center. Add a little butter and it melts in your mouth. It was the perfect pairing with the soup, and the kids couldn't stop eating it. Gone in one sitting. Absolute perfection.

Oh, this is it! Early Sunday morning folks buy malassadas by the dozen in big brown paper bags:…read moresugar or sugar & cinnamon. Except for Hawaii, where malassadas (fried dough) are covered with fresh tropical fruit, Goularts is the best I've ever had. And this is a town where folks are loyal to bakeries that have been making them for families for decades. Customers also pick up some 'pops' or 'papo secos' a dry roll for sandwiches or with dinner, and maybe say a few words in Portuguese. But I also came for nata, the egg custard tarts beloved in Brazil, Macau, Jakarta, and Goa, known as pastel de nata. And they did not disappoint, having both the traditional natas with flaky pastry & brûlée tops and at least half a dozen other types including Nutella, caramel, chocolate, passion fruit and more. Heaven! Service was quick and helpful. The ambiance is cute corner bakery catering to parents who bring home breakfast treats for their kids and family. And there's plenty of parking across the street next to the pretty park, which could be a great place to enjoy a fresh baked treat. Enjoy!

It's probably the best small bakery that I've been to in years. Even though it was a little later in the afternoon, there was still a great selection of breads and meals in the freezer. We picked up a chicken pot pie and had it for dinner. Delicious. Very tasty and the price at $11 or so was great for what we got! I also tried a cupcake and it was so good. Very moist and the frosting was to die for. I believe Gail was the one working in the store and she was so friendly. She took the time to give us directions to the downtown and other places around town. I'm going to make it a point to stop back at Gail's Goodies the next time I'm on the Cape even if it's out of my way! I saw way too many things I want to try and I need to pick up another chicken pot pie!

-ONE PARAGRAPH REVIEW-…read more The Nook has great coffee. The Nook has great food- not entrés but café stuff: sandwich rolls, focaccias, muffins, etc. The Nook has old school, retro vibes. It has rock music vibes. It has creative, inspirational vibes. It has quiet, read-a-book-in-the-nook vibes but also loud Donkey Kong-guitar riff-crunchin' vibes; depending on the time and the day. It's perhaps a tad too small inside, but that's what makes it a nook. Lots of hot and iced coffee options, food is quality over quantity: get their signature cheese or linguica roll as-is or "leveled up" to make it an egg sandwich because it's the best around. And their focaccias are made like a pizza and imo are better than their actual pizza! Ok that's a paragraph!
