As a returning customer, I had to stop by Blue Sheep Bake Shop's new location. They've moved from…read moretheir old spot on Division Street to Main Street. It's a short walk away, and they are now in Epic Cookies' old location. This new space is bigger and more front and center. A lot of people did not realize that their old location was even there on Division Street, until I took them there. They just opened this location about three days ago, so it was pretty busy when I visited today, and even Karin and her husband were in there helping out! Both very kind people! I came in for my favorite "Death by Chocolate" cupcake and was excited to try two new flavors, Coconut Guava and Lemon Raspberry. I usually check their website ahead of time to see what seasonal cupcakes they have before visiting, I saw those and rush over here. P.s. please bring back the Versailles Cupcake from Summer '25! That raspberry filling is heaven sent, and part of the reason why I came by to try the Lemon raspberry flavor! Even with the rush, the staff was just as friendly as always. I really love it here and always bring my family and friends when they are in town! I'll definitely miss the charm of the old location, but I'm excited for them in this new space and hope that it works out well for them!

XXX (better than sex cookie) Chocolate cookie stuffed with caramel topped topped with whipped cream and toffee bits - the toffee bits did me in - delicious!! Raspberry Linzer - A almond heart shaped shortbread cookie sandwiched with raspberry preserves and a dusting of confectioners sugar - who doesn't love almond & raspberry combo - maybe not a kid favorite but an adults dream!! Dark Chocolate Pistachio Our signature butter dough with pistachio mixed in and loaded with pistachios and dark chocolate chunks - I'm a sucker for anything pistachio - loved it!!

Pretty homey feel when you walk into the store. There was a cute selfie wall when you walk to the register. The menu is pretty extensive. I debated getting a drink but was so full from lunch that I got a box of the ube crinkle instead. My husband did order an ube shake for him and my son, so the three of us shared. First I noticed that people don't come here for one drink- people leave with 4-5! Everything looked so good coming out that I couldn't wait to try my husband's shake. Staff was friendly and place was clean! They did have those floor fans going on which I assume was to try the wet footprints from the melting snow outside, so I think that made the restaurant louder the it is. The ube shake was delicious! It was a little hard to drink at first because it was made pretty icy. I'd prefer mine to be a little smoother, but not a huge thing since it'll just melt. My 5 year old LOVED the "ice cream". He drank a good amount which was shocking. I had the ube crinkle when I got home and it was SO good. It was the perfect softness and it wasn't overly powered on top. I ended up eating a second one, which I normally would never do but I couldn't help myself! It wasn't overly sweet or coated with powder and the softness just made it that much better. Would I come back? I would if I happen to be in the area, I will definitely stop by to try the rest of their cakes/drinks!

(My fav color) Tons of ube and pandan and coconut goodies that go beyond your basic desserts, it truly was so hard to choose. My family doesn't eat eggs and I wanted to bring back something for them and the girl at the counter was extremely friendly and helpful at directing me towards suitable desserts. Also love that it seemed like a small family owned operation I opted for the calamansi drink which was perfect for a 90 degree spring day and a pandan coconut pudding to bring home. I wish the pudding was a bit less sweet (I tend to dislike overly sweet things) but overall, this is the most extensive filipino dessert place I've found in the tri- state area and I will be back if I'm around somerville again

They have a wonderful selection of sweets - especially the raspberry, apricot, and chocolate filled sandwich cookies. Also pastries and breads. All the traditional stuff and then some. The shoppe is well laid out- once you walk in, sweets to the right, savory to the left. Service is efficient and professional. Prices may be higher than some expect, but we've found it worth it for their selection of what we like. Have not yet tried their prepared foods. There is no seating, so this is a grab and go place. Traffic can be a bear depending what time of day you go there - but if they have what you want, it's totally worth it. We'll be back...(over and over again!)

I couldn't decide between the coconut ube latte and the guava matcha latte, but I went with the latter and was thoroughly pleased! It had the perfect blend of tropical fruity flavor from the guava, and the matcha was spot on since it was smooth and not at all grassy. The staff was very pleasant, and my drink was prepared quickly yet with great care. I can't wait to go back soon and try some of their baked goods, which all looked divine!

Best coffee in downtown Somerville!…read more Ambee's coffee is consistently excellent, and they make a cappuccino the way it should be. Perfectly balanced and not too much milk. It's one of those places where you know exactly what you're going to get every time, and the quality never disappoints. Their baked goods are also delicious. They have some of the best gluten-free cookies I've found at a coffee shop. I also tried the gluten-free scone--it was good, though I'd definitely recommend having it warmed up. The cookies are still my favorite GF option. The café itself is cute, modern, and thoughtfully designed. It has a fun, trendy atmosphere, although it can get pretty busy and loud during peak hours, so it isn't always the ideal place if you're looking for a quiet spot to work. I also have to give credit to their branding and marketing. Their social media is genuinely some of the best I've seen from a local business. The photography, videos, and product launches are always beautifully done, and even the coffee cup design is stylish and instantly recognizable. It's clear they put a lot of thought into every aspect of the customer experience. I've also been to their Warren location, which is just as good. It feels a bit larger and more spacious while maintaining the same great coffee and welcoming vibe. I've heard they're opening a location in Flemington, and I'm so excited! If it's anything like their Somerville and Warren cafés, it'll be a fantastic addition to the area.

The coating of flour on top was too much and left a dryness in my mouth. It was not a good experience for me and I'm not sure if I'll ever go back.

I got a cronut (legit one of my fave donuts ever) for a car snack. Mind ya business. I'm not gonna lie. My box of dough and sidecar were $31. Pricey! But the service was warm, the donuts looked fresh and airy, and the other items - braided breads, cookies, etc. enticed me to visit again in the near future. Happy to spend my money in a local business. Also, the cronut was fantastic. So light, perfect tasting icing, great layers. I'd like to think I chose wisely.

The details were amazing! The little baby cake topper was so cute, and they gave instructions on how to keep her (to dry her out) which the mom will do. The cake not only looked amazing it tasted delicious also. Often so many of the ascetically nice looking cakes don't taste so good. In this case it was a win win all around. I usually just have a bite of cake to taste it as I am not a dessert eater but I ate the entire piece. Definitely will go there for cakes in the future!
