Awesome bakery! So much goodness everywhere ypu looked! This is what I call a typical bakery /…read moredeli in the Boston area, what I grew up with!. A place that you would order your birthday cakes, pastries, cookies, breads, deli sandwiches, and of course pan pizza. Alice of pan pizza is a popular breakfast or lunch option! In addition, there are quiches, calzones, these amazing looking loaf cakes, pies, cannoli, deli salads, and much more! Just being open on a Sunday was a huge plus. We need to pick up some sandwiches for an early lunch. We ordered large (only $1 more than small) and they are ginormous! Definitely shareable or enough for a second meal! We ordered a side red potato salad. And of course a pound of cookies / biscotti! Everything tasted great! I hope we have time for a second visit during our trip! It was very busy around 930am on a Sunday morning. Very organized and well staffed for the business. Most were picking up pre-orders (cake, etc.). Ordering sandwiches wasn't an issue that early and pans of pizza were out! Love the East Coast and surely miss it! Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful! Most of the customers seemed like local regulars! That says a lot too! Parking is very easy. Large lot shated with another business. Front and then a larger lot on the side. Nice as most parking in this area (including Marblehead and Salem) is street parking only, very few lots! There are plenty of tables for dining inside. Our next will.be hot sandwiches and/or pan pizza and calzones!

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!

One thing to note is they only have 3 flavors each week, personally I have been able to enjoy one each time but if you're not as adventurous with flavors make sure to call and check what that weeks flavors are. I was a little disappointed because we decided to get a 12 pack to bring to a gathering the next day and they wouldn't let us choose how many of each kind we wanted, it had to be 4 of each flavor. Which we were then forced to get a 6-pack and 2 3-packs which came out to be more money than a 12 pack. I would have hoped for better customer service on their end.
