The pasty round with cheese and coconut is delicious, light on the coconut for a perfect blend. Then absolutely options for Gluten Free for Yucca or Corn Cake, both very good. And, the Brazilian Cheesy Bread Bites are tasty. They do need to be eaten same day otherwise they harden quickly, overnight; Option, they can be frozen then defrosted. It would be nice to see some additional Gluten Free protein options. Overall good choice for baked goods with a lot more options to taste in the future.

I came here for baklava and was pretty impressed by both the bakery and the retail area. If you…read morehave Greek people in your life, this place is worth the trip for imported treats and baked goods. I did notice they also had a refrigerated section with prepared foods like pastitsio and moussaka. It's a small shop, but very clean and has very interesting food at every corner. Everything was very fairly priced. The baklava is la carte. I got a small assortment of about 7 small-medium sized pieces of baklava and my total came to under $20. The girl behind the counter assured me that the majority of what I bought stays fresh for weeks or even months and she gave me storage tips for the custard I purchased. I will def be back!

Look for the adorable little red truck outside and you've arrived at Fatties!…read more It's such an interesting concept, they sell savory and sweet items all in a ball like shape. There are a couple breakfast "chubbies" with things like eggs, cheese, and sausage. There's a Mac n' cheese chubbie, snd 3 flavors of Fatties (aka cookies). Drinks and ice cream are also available, I ordered a Nutty Buddy fattie and it was warm and delicious! I did have 1/2 and saved some for the next day but I think it's best when it's warm (as all cookies are!). I would've loved it if they had more than three flavors to choose from since they also offer cookies by the dozen, and it would be more fun to have a bigger variety in your box, but regardless, what they do have to offer is yummy.

Also, the cinnamon bread is absolutsly delicious- have them slice it for you! Reminds me of childhood. Yes, it's sketchy on the inside. They aren't going for ambiance here.

If you are passing by the Dunkin' Donuts/Scoops Ice Cream on Lowell street in Peabody (it's behind there), and have $5- get the cinnamon bread.
