This Italian bakery reminds me of Mike's pastry and Modern Bakery in Boston's North End. Incredible array of baked goods that are mouth watering.

One of the worst customer service experiences I have had, and I would absolutely NOT recommend this…read moreplace. I stopped in needing to use the restroom and was completely willing to make a purchase. The gentleman behind the counter told me that I needed to spend more than $8 in order to be served and use the restroom. No problem--I agreed and attempted to purchase more than $8 worth of cookies directly from THEIR bakery counter. Then, unbelievably, he STILL refused to serve me and suddenly told me that I had to order food. So which is it? Spend more than $8, or order a meal? You cannot tell a customer exactly what they need to do, have them agree to do it, and then change the rules and refuse to serve them anyway. The entire situation was absurd. I wasn't asking for anything for free. I was standing at the counter, money in hand, ready to spend more than the amount I was specifically told was required. I simply wanted to purchase cookies that THEY had displayed for sale. Apparently, even being a willing, paying customer wasn't enough. The way this was handled was dismissive, unwelcoming, unnecessarily difficult, and completely lacking in basic customer service. A simple transaction that should have taken two minutes turned into such an unpleasant experience that I walked out without spending a dime. If this is how customers are treated, I have absolutely no interest in ever returning. There are far too many bakeries and cafés that actually appreciate their customers to waste your time, money, or patience here. I would strongly recommend SKIPPING THIS PLACE and going somewhere else. A business can have great products, but if customers are made to feel unwelcome when they're literally trying to give you their money, none of that matters. They didn't just lose an $8 purchase--they guaranteed that I will never spend a dollar here in the future. I will never return, and based on the way I was treated, I would NEVER recommend this establishment to anyone.

I had the pleasure of stopping by Clarabell Cookies today, and what a wonderful little place it is…read more With so many flavors to choose from, I settled on three: a classic chocolate chip (because it's the law), a cookie dough cookie, and a caramel one. If you love cookies, this is cookie heaven. They're incredibly fresh, soft, and scrumptious--made with high-quality ingredients and free of seed oils or preservatives. You can truly taste the difference. Once you try these, you may never feel the need to bake your own again. Why would you? Just head to Clarabell Cookies. See them, smell them, and eat them--your senses will thank you.

I've visited both locations on Main Street and I think it's important to know that the menu and…read moreavailability of items can differ between the two. The original/older location seems to have a lot more available than the other as one seems heavily focused on muffins while the other has empanadas, and way more bakery variety. My muffin was great as was my chai latte. Service is pretty good at either location especially considering how busy these stores seem to be, but I also wasn't in a rush to get to work with breakfast. Something else to add is that the newer location definitely seems to have more space available inside before you consider the outdoor seating.

This one had the pistachio croissant roll and it was so delicious and well as the freshly squeezed orange juice. The original location has much more muffins, desserts, empanadas but it's much smaller and can get super crowded. Both had great options. Staff is friendly!
