From my experience the…read moreowners are changing recipes, not to make them taste better, but rather to make things cheaper. The coffee cakes now have whey added which is a cheap filler and a byproduct of the dairy industry. Sadly once again the Power Booster cookie is mealy with cheap ingredients and frankly inedible! At nearly $5 each this is simply tragic. The Fourth generation Freedman's who founded Blue Moon, would be disappointed that the current owners are choosing to cheap out to increase profits. Here's the deal, you can't fake food, baked goods with quality ingredients taste good, cheap ingredients taste bad. Please stop using Whey, and return to the ingredients the founders intended.

I wanted a mix of the various Chanukah cookies, one for each of the eight nights. (Cue Adam Sandler.) When the website did not have exactly what I wanted, I emailed customer service. They were incredibly responsive and helpful. I ended up getting exactly what I wanted, shipped exactly when I needed it. The cookies were fresh and packed so well you would have thought they were Ming vases! My husband was thrilled with his treats and I admit, I ordered a few extra to enjoy myself. The price is high, as is the quality. However, due to the prices, Fancy Pants cookies will probably be a 'sometimes food' (credit to Cookie Monster). Worth the occasional indulgence - and so nice to encounter such responsive and friendly customer service!

A long standing, family owned Italian Bakery has been a part of many family parties throughout my life, and I'm glad to see they're still surviving. They offer a great variety of cookies, as well as other baked goods like breads, cakes, pies and more. Many of the cookies are sold by the pound, so my father got a couple of mixed boxes for our family reunion, getting a good mix of styles and flavors. The staff was very friendly, and patient as we filled the box. They took care to put heavier items on the bottom, as to not ruin the softer items, and were happy to make suggestions and recommendations. The selection went over really well at the party, and in the end we were left with just crumbs. Looking forward to the next opportunity I get to enjoy some tasty treats from Guarino's

Had I not looked up bakeries in the area and scoured google maps, I probably would not have found this place. The place is pretty small with seating for maybe 5 people. It's more of an order/pickup and go kind of place. Service is good and it's on a street close to a residential area so there's a lot of places for you to park. They have a variety of pastries to select from and do specialty cakes as well. Overall, the quality of the baked goods is very good, but it is quite pricey. I'm not sure the high quality can justify the item prices.

I recently stopped into Ever So Humble Pie Company with Easter in mind, and it quickly turned into…read moreone of those visits where you leave with far more than you planned--in the best way. The shop is set in a funky old New England mill space that perfectly matches what they do: warm, a little rustic, and full of charm. It feels authentic right away, like everything coming out of the kitchen is made with care and intention. The pies are the main event, and they absolutely deliver. I went in specifically for a large blueberry pie to serve at our Easter brunch, and I'm absolutely confident it won't disappoint. Of course, I couldn't stop there--I also picked up a few of the personal 5" pies to stash in the freezer, which feels like a very smart decision for future dessert emergencies The ready-to-eat baked goods are just as worth your attention, but you have to time it right--they sell out fast. I managed to grab a lemon raspberry scone for the drive home, and I think it's my favorite scone now. Perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and exactly what you want from a great scone. Between the quality, the setting, and the variety, this is the kind of place that works just as well for a holiday centerpiece as it does for a spontaneous stop. I'm glad it's not closer to home though--it would be very hard to achieve my desired weight goals it if were. Just be sure to go early if you want the best selection of ready to eat goods.

Her great grandmother Bibi influenced her with delicious treats as a young girl, and eventually with handed down recipes. Fatine humbly informed me "Bibi would be happy to know this bakery has her name". My wife and I stopped here on a weekend and enjoyed a few treats and iced coffees. Fatine told me the coffee is roasted by a close friend of hers, who comes from Florida to roast. She feels that like most everything at Bibi, this Florida connection is serendipitous. She believes that life, like baking itself, tends to just happen the way it's meant to, if you follow your passions. We plan to come back many times, there are so many tasty things we didn't get to try! Thank you Fatine !

My friend just moved to his new house. I ordered a cake for the house warming party from the Custom Cakes. I provided a picture and a poem, and custom cake drew the picture and poem beautifully on the cake, and I am really impressed. In fact, the cake made a blast at the party, people were asking me where I got the cake. This is the second time that they made a cake the way that nowhere else I can get. Definitely a five-star plus. Nancy read more

Snickerdoodle decaf coffee is the best. I usually cannot find actual flavored decaf coffee. Most places just use flavor shots and I don't like the flavor shots because of the added sugar. Also, their breakfast sandwhiches are AH-Mazing! They use real eggs and everything and butter the bagel first. Oh em gee! Whenever I have a cheat day I indulge. read more

Let me tell you about Chloe, the wonderful woman standing behind the counter. Chloe greeted me warmly and genuinely asked how I was doing. I came in on a Sunday morning for a coffee and to get some work done. I ordered a hot decaf hazelnut coffee. Which Chloe politely informed wouldn't be possible because the brewed decaf hazelnut was ICED, not hot. And the hot decaf coffee had no flavor - no hazelnut. and As soon as Chloe saw me trying which option to choose, she came up with a solution. She gave me half iced hazelnut, and half hot regular decaf. THE PERFECT SOLUTION! She went above and beyond, and did it without thinking twice. Chloe and Leah smiled at everyone who came in that morning, and deserve recognition for how amazing they both are. Keep up the good work, CKD!
