The Boston Area is known for amazing artisanal ice cream…read more It is not known for artisanal frozen custard. Amazing artisanal ice cream can now be found all over the United States. Frozen custard is frozen custard. My chocolate frozen custard was boring. My waffle cone was slightly stale. An espresso frozen custard was significantly more interesting ... But still not even remotely up to the knock-you-to-the-moon experience That an artisanal coffee ice cream can be.

Abbott's has gone considerably downhill. The last 3 times we visited, every cone (cake cones) was…read morestale. Each visit produced custard more watered down than the previous visit, to the point of consistency closer to frozen ice! And worst of all, prices have hiked up while the servings have shrunk down to ridiculously minuscule sizes. Just paid over $6 for a small cone that was half a scoop. When I asked if I was mistakenly served a kiddie size, the server confirmed it was a small. My audible surprise was met with a shrug. Give me Anderson's custard any day! Half the price, double the size, superior creaminess, and double the satisfaction. What a disappointment.

Great service, came in and honestly picked almost one of everything. The girl behind the counter…read morewas sweet and patient. The place is smaller, fewer seating, but clean. Prices were comparable to local shops as well. The pastries were amazing, I think their cheesecake is the best I have had in so long, imagine years. Sadly the mini cream puffs did not go well with our group. The puff was so hard. Other than that we enjoyed everything else. We ordered mini cream puffs, small cannolis, plain cheesecake, Boston cream cupcake, lemon cupcake, raspberry cupcake, cream filled apple turnover, everything bars, brownie, zeppole, raspberry muffin, apple turnover, and biscotti. Overall great experience!

I woke up with a very specific craving for mochi, and my dear husband gave in and drove me 20…read moreminutes to Crystal Bakery. We ended up getting two strawberry cream mochi, one mango cream mochi, and the mango pomelo sago. The sago was definitely on the expensive side for the portion, but it absolutely hit the spot and satisfied the craving. The mochi was the real star. The outer layer was soft, chewy, and pillowy, while the filling was light, creamy, and not overly sweet. The strawberry cream mochi tasted fresh and delicate, and the mango version was rich, fruity, and refreshing. Each one felt like biting into a little cloud. The mango pomelo sago was creamy and packed with mango flavor, making for a nice contrast to the mochi. Not exactly an everyday treat given the prices, but for a special craving, it was worth the drive and I'd happily come back.

Genuinely one of my favorite bakeries in the Boston metro.

I love chocolate croissants and this is one of my go tos for it. I've never had anything here I didn't enjoy and the prices are reasonable. So worth the visit if you're in the area, I come by every time I'm near Newton. I came around 1pm on my most recent visit and they still had a good stock of baked goods. It can get busy here but the staff do a good job moving people along. Some seating but definitely hard to get a spot during peak times. Street parking mostly so it can get hard to find a spot.

Cheese bread: very tasty 6/10 2. Ham and cheese croissant 8.5/10 3. Famed chocolate chip cookie 0/10 couldn't eat but one or two bites, cookie sat on counter and went stale with out anyone wanting to try it. For a cookie that has been so hyped up I was truly disappointed, and trust me, I have had my share of chocolate chip cookies from everywhere and can usually say good or at least decent things about them, maybe they had a bad batch? Probably would not go out of my way for SALT on another Boston trip.
