I have been wanting to try Southie Cookie for awhile and finally got the opportunity! We ordered…read morefrom one of our fave pizza places - Union Park Pizza - and they had two options on their menu! They had the classic chocolate chip and a "flavor of the month" - spiced apple pie. We got one of the spiced apple pies to share and I wish we had gotten two. We warmed the cookie for 15 seconds in the microwave and it was perfect. Soft in the center but a little crisp in some places. The flavor was on point, tasted like a piece of apple pie inside a cookie. Was one of the best I've ever had! We will definitely be trying more flavors. They ship via USPS priority mail so would make excellent gifts for our family. We cannot wait to share the cookie love. Highly recommend!

After gathering multiple quotes from several bakeries, Janelle was able to accommodate the most in the shortest amount of time for the best price (I believe I ordered one week ahead of time).

She delivered the cake well packaged on the day of the party and everyone was thrilled at the surprise cake! Oh and it tasted MARVELOUS!

This review only covers their liquid nitrogen watermelon sorbet @ Sowa market…read more SO COOL. Literally and figuratively. Who would've thought you could see liquid nitrogen dessert @ a low key food truck market like Sowa? I didn't. Anything involving food + liquid nitrogen is usually a thing of upscale establishments. My friend and I were so ecstatic to see such a sight and offering for only $6. No preservatives added. Just straight up scoops from a watermelon and a couple dribbles of simple sugar syrup (water and cane sugar). Blend that. Then in goes the liquid nitrogen from a hole in the blender. We all watch with childhood excitement at the white puffs of smoke flowing out. It's a rumbling watermelon volcano in the making and great visually and tactilely for people of all ages. Refreshingly cold with the flavoring of watermelon purely intact, by far the coolest and healthiest dessert I've had :)

Stumbled upon the Sowa Market on a Sunday afternoon filled with food trucks and vendors. I already…read moreknew this was the truck to look for thanks to a review I read on Yelp. The watermelon sorbet is $6 (cash, credit card accepted). They also serve pizza there if anyone's interested. The watermelon sorbet is freshly scooped out of a half-watermelon, added sugar syrup, and liquid nitrogen. The magic happens when the guy adds in the liquid nitrogen. He's also very friendly and willing to wait and pose for pictures. The sorbet texture is amazing.. smooth with just the right amount of sweets. For those who are wondering (and people did ask at the market).. yes, it tastes exactly like watermelon.

Have been ordering the Italian rum cake from here for over 30 years. We all love the rum cake but…read moreduring this most recent cake order, I was disappointed. The cake was much higher than what it is now. I believe that it was 2 eight inch cakes combined with layers of cream in between the different layers. Now it's only 1eight inches cake with only 2 layers of cream and an overwhelming amount of whip cream. The whip cream Is almost 50% of the cake hight. For the cost, I need more cake and less whip cream. Not sure that I will order again.

The line moves fairly quickly, despite the hordes of children. Service was polite and efficient. I got the white pistachio and strawberry flavors.

She made me feel as though nothing mattered more than making my niece happy--true old-school customer service. We discussed several options, and then Keri joined us: the Picasso of cupcake baking and design. She was tremendous, and watching her sketch and talk through ideas was incredible. The cupcakes themselves were beyond delicious, with frosting that was absolutely outstanding. Jodi and Keri are an unbeatable team. Thank you so very much. Very grateful!

They are allergy friendly. I mentioned a nut allergy and the staff member offered to open a new carton of ice cream to accommodate it, which I thought was very nice. They have every thing from ice cream to soft serve to slush to lattes. They even have homemade cookies and ice cream cakes. There creations are what makes them special - lattes, sundaes, tornadoes, nachos, stackables, etc. This is the only place where I've ever seen flavored soft serve like coffee, creamsicle, and pistachio etc. aside from the regular chocolate and vanilla. Watermelon dole whip aside from the pineapple. They also section to order from outside around the cornee (very easy to miss) and a small seating area next to it. Their ice cream is a bit too sweet for me, but I did enjoy the affogato which was soft serve and coffee. Their coffee tasted surprisingly good, so I will be back to try some of their very creative lattes. We also tried a stackable, which to me is a huge pre-made sundae. It is definitely a lot for one person and price is steeper at around $9-$12, but worth it if you want to share as there are a lot of creative options. I will also come back for some of their different flavored soft serve and the watermelon dole whip!

The prices are on the higher side for a local spot and they appear to serve Gifford's and a variety of ice cream products from different suppliers. The variety is worth the visit if you're in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way. It's a busy shop, expect a line especially on weekends. My main complaint was how long it took to order, I came in with a friend and there were 3 groups in front of us but we waited 25 minutes. I understand it was busy but they seemed short staffed having to juggle the walk up window and the line inside the shop.
