This isn't just an Italian bakery. It is an Italian bakery for the Jolly Green Giant. The sheer…read moreSIZE of the pastries and treats here will make your eyes bulge. No exaggeration, the eclaires and bismarcks were double wide and at least 10" long. Three people could split an eclaire, oh my gosh. We bought an assortment of cookies, pastries, bread, and pizza. Everything was fresh and excellent. We took our pastries a few minutes away to the seashore and indulged in the comfort of our car for fear thise famous Revere seagulls (which are also giant) would swoop down and steal our sweets. A well-run, quality shop with ample selection for your sweet or savory craving. A local landmark for good reason, and worth the drive from anywhere in the region.

Tiny tables-- a dozen or more for your dining pleasure, and they even have table service. Tiny toilet upstairs for your convenience. -- Blueberry Muffin: Nice dome with a well extended overhang, though on one side for lopsided amusement. Blueberries tiny but densely distributed. Everything very soft and spongey, even the dome. Flavor very sugary. Decent muffin. I've had far better. I've had far worse. -- Half Moon / Black and White Cookie: There's a lot of misunderstanding regarding this item-- which is really items (plural). A black & white cookie is more of a New York thing, with a firm cookie base and a thin, hard-shell glaze on top. A half moon I believe is a Boston thing, with a cakey bottom and a thick, soft frosting on top. What's served here is closer to half moon, although I found the base very dry and the frosting too thin. Definitely a frosting though. Not much flavor from the chocolate. Lemony notes from either the white half or the base. Much like the muffin, not the best. Not the worst, either, but a lot closer to worst than best. I liked the atmosphere, the iced coffee, the vibe, and the cheerfulness of the ladies behind the counter.

Lyndell's Bakery is a Boston staple! They serve up your favorite American classics. Would…read moredefinitely recommend their moons of course, and their cupcakes. With their decadent moist cakes & dreamy frostings, everything they make is absolutely delicious. Keep in mind, their treats are all incredibly decadent, so they will definitely satisfy any sugar cravings. Also, their staff are just as sweet as their treats. Really kind folks all around. Highly recommend giving them a try! There is a reason everyone and their moms love Lyndell's, so go see for yourself.

The cookies are fantasy, and the cream pie was soooo good. They don't have many old-school bakeries around like they used to. This one was opened in 1887, so you know it's good! They did mention they are moving to the larger space on the corner, so expect even more and better things from Lyndell's once that is complete!

Arthur's Italian pastry shop is an old-school Medford Italian bakery. The outside, and the…read moreinterior, have old world charm. The employee who waited on me was very friendly, and we chatted for a little while after I ordered. The refrigerator cases looked a little bit empty, but they were clean and maybe I just went at a time of year that is not super busy. I ordered cannoli, tiramisu, a Whoopie pie and a slice of ricotta pie. The cannolis are filled to order (which is what you want in order to avoid sogginess). The tiramisu rolls are beautiful. The ricotta pie was pretty good. The whoopie pie cake was good but the filling is a sugary frosting, and I prefer a lighter texture. None of the items were the best I've ever had but all were good and I would definitely get the cannolis again.

It's become a tradition to celebrate our daughter's birthday with a tres leches cake from Lorena's…read moreCakes. We're celebrating my daughter's third birthday tomorrow. This morning I picked up a cake for 40 people for $55. I learned about Lorena's Cakes because one of my co-workers is Mexican-American, and she occasionally brings one in to work for an office celebration. They're a huge hit at the office. They're so moist! The cakes are always a success with our extended family, too. It's fun to joke with people who ask what the three milks are (e.g. "Cow, sheep and llama!"), but they're in fact evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream.

We tried to track down Lorena's Cakes but found Blanca's Bakery at the same address instead. (Heard…read morethat Lorena's is now a mobile business.) Nevertheless, customer service at Blanca's is excellent. The girl there on the weekend is super helpful, taking the time to tell us about spanish/mexican pastries as we are novices to that culture. The tres leches cake is super moist and still good!

So exciting that Mike's has a location in Somerville! We tried the chocolate crème and amaretto…read morecannoli. The chocolate crème was okay- tasted like artificial chocolate pudding and personally not my taste. But the shell was very fresh. Amaretto isn't traditional but wow was it good! Super thick, almost like a paste filling with strong cherry and almond flavor. I would definitely get that again! The lady working was also super friendly and happy to accommodate allergies. There's some seating inside, but we enjoyed our treats outdoor.

The cake looks stunning and tastes just as good. Not overly sweet, the sponge is fluffy and moist (and just the right amount of matcha flavor). The black sesame filling was also nice and light - and the size is perfect for the two of us to dig into over the next week (could easily split between 6 - 8 people). We'll definitely be ordering more cakes from here in the future!

My bf is more the fruit type so I emailed for more information and to see if their were other flavors. The whole interaction with Jessey was easy. She answered my questions and she came up with a different flavor option..orange chiffon cake with fruit, coconut cream icing, and almonds. Setting the delivery time was easy and the cake was delivered right to me. The cake was delicious. It wasn't too sweet which is perfect. The coconut cream added a nice flavor and the almonds were so fresh they were still crunchy and added extra flavor, I really liked that. Fruit was fresh as well. Happy with my cake!
