I wish I could give Sindu the owner of Westford Bakery a glowing review, but I simply can't. First…read moreof all, her attitude is terrible. I have experienced this at her stall during the Westford Rosenbush Community Center Farmer's Market as well as a paying client for my daughter's birthday. She seems very grumpy when speaking to her in person, however I noticed she is nice to certain people. But, her lychee cupcakes are good so I gave her the benefit of the doubt since she has skill. The cupcakes I tried at the market had a lychee on top of the cupcake and were $4. For my daughter's birthday, I ordered $96 worth of cupcakes, which is a size-able order in this economy. I attached my order as a picture to this review. I'm not at all embarrassed to do so. I hope the owner sees this and improves. I asked her in advance if she had individual packaging for mini cupcakes because otherwise I could provide it. She took awhile to respond and I had to check in for which she responded she did have the packaging. So, ok great, I thought. I can relax on the dessert front and continue to plan the rest of the party. When it came to picking up the cupcakes, she did not send me a message in advance for when to come. So, I reached out obviously and asked if I could come at 8 am since the party was at 10 am and I needed to pack the mini cupcakes in gift bags. She did not respond, so I had to call her to confirm because I didn't want to show up at her house and have the order not ready. When I called her, she gave me attitude and asked if I could come later. No, I cannot come later because I need the cupcakes for part of the children's favor gifts. "Fine," she says. And I move on, annoyed but giving her the benefit of the doubt because I have owned a home bakery business during COVID times. I know how busy it gets and how stressful it can be. Well, when pick up the cupcake order, I am annoyed. Why aren't there lychees on the lychee cupcakes, which were bare...just cupcake and frosting. And also, the mini cupcakes which were suppose to be a gift for the kids, were kept upside down in dipping cups (the kind you get at a pizzeria to store red chilli flakes). Honestly, I would have still been ok with the packaging if they were flipped right side up and LABELED. These are for children, which I explained multiple times- you can't give unlabeled cupcakes without even a business label to a customer. That is just extremely unprofessional. Also, I have seen on her Instagram account that she does decorate cupcakes. So, I feel like she just makes baked goods the way she wants to for whoever she wants to or you have to catch her on a less busy day. My daughter's birthday was at the end of October. I put my order in way ahead of time (2 months ahead) at the end of August. She should be ashamed of herself. But she gets 3 stars because it all tasted good. Some comments I received were that the guava cupcake was way too sweet and the mango lassi cupcake tasted like pumpkin. Everyone enjoyed the lychee cupcake.

Dar Rafiki's is a small bakery shop located in a corner of Dudley Plaza…read more Its windows are very colorful, Enter, and you come right up to the counter. There is a bench inside, and just enough room to walk around other customers without touching each other. They have croissants in two sizes (small and extra large), and a variety of shapes (croissants, cube, danish, bavarian puff). Seeing as whatever I purchased would have to sit in my trunk for a few hours, I avoided the dessert case with its tempting treats, and picked up one of their two cube offerings (Dubai Chocolate), a large Almond Croissant, a pistachio bavarian puff, a lemon danish, and two chicken pastillas dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon. I read that another Yelper suggested freezing some treats, so one chicken pastilla and the lemon danish are currently hibernating. I toasted the other chicken pastilla up and discovered that the crisped up phyllo sheets made the powdered sugar jump everywhere, so my suggestion is - cut first into bite size pieces, toast, then put a piece entirely in your mouth before chewing, in order to avoid the mess. It was good, but I have a first ever core memory that this version did not hit. The bavarian puff, almond croissant and cube were all well filled, yet none were too sweet. The croissant dough was tender at room temperature, and warm and buttery when toasted for a few minutes. *** When toasted back up from the deep cold, the lemon filling had the sweet-tart I was expecting, while the pastry was terrific.

Before going whale watching in Newburyport, I decided to finally try a fruit pastry. My co worker…read morewarned me that there are flavors that run out quick, so I made sure to be there early. It was in a plaza and in a much smaller space than l imagined. However, it was enough space to fit three cases worth of elaborate pastries including gourmet croissants, slices of cake / breads, and fruit pastries. They were playing Christian music when I walked in which made me so happy and made my morning. I ordered a mango pastry and my friend ordered the hazelnut one. The mango one was filled with an even ratio of mango mousse, cake, and mango chunks with a white chocolate like shell. The outside resembled a mango really well, with intricate detail of shading and colors. The hazelnut one tasted a lot like biting into a softer Ferrero Rocher chocolate - it was chocolatey, it tasted like hazelnut, and it had crispy tiny pieces of something. Each one was $6.99 which seemed fair considering how detailed they are and are decently sized.

I ordered and had food within eight minutes, which for a made-to-order meal in that busy of a place, was a surprise to me. Definitely would return. The meal ran me around 13 dollars after tip, so I won't lie and say it is the best for the price point, but it certainly isn't bad at all for how filling and well made it was. Not an everyday meal but maybe every few months when I'm around.

I am sad there was not even one gluten free option for the bakery, but they did direct me to a GF bakery down the street which was nice they were aware of other options in the area.

As soon as you walk in someone greets you and they are nice and eager to help you find what you're looking for. I also appreciate their willingness to provide recommendations! It's a quiet little corner shop that I will definitely visit again for lunch, and maybe they will have some GF options in the future!

So I get a large Chip's Tip sub and a few pastries for snacks. The bill was steep for what I got but I thought it would be worth it for my son to try the sub. After getting it, we split the sub and ate it in the car. Let me tell you that this was not the same steak tip I remembered. It was so bad, we tossed it in the garbage at the gas station next door. The steak was very tough and hard to chew - almost like the tips had been cooked earlier and then reheated for my order. Everything just seemed greasy. We also did not enjoy the raspberry turnover or yellow cream cannoli's we got for dessert. Maybe it was us or maybe it was the food but I will never go there again. We are not food snobs by any stretch of the imagination, and I rarely will say anything bad about a restaurant experience but we ended up going to Augusta's which is just a little bit down the road, for chicken just to erase this experience from our mouths. I know a lot of people will swear by their steak tip subs and that is great but it's just not for me anymore.
