I came to tatte for the black sesame latte but was seduced by the orange blossom latte and had to…read moregive it a shot. I've been drooling over the passion fruit krembo and the pear tart so I had to give them a try as well. Pear tart- absolutely perfect, so mellow and sweet and I loved the poached pear in the middle! Passionfruit krembo- honestly stronger on the coconut and meringue flavor than on the passion fruit? Tastes almost like a lemon meringue tart to me. Orange blossom latte- frankly didn't get any flavor of orange blossom in the latte, until it melted totally I could taste it a little in the coffee. The vanilla was also really light. It's a pretty unadulterated coffee (as is typical for a cold brew) and I kinda like my coffee sweet and creamy, so I was not too impressed on a first taste. But once it melted I liked it a lot more. Probably will stick with black sesame next time. Note- they serve their pastries glued with sugar (?) on a cardboard round. Im not too sure how to eat it like this so I ended up prying them off the round.

My friends and I ordered from different spots. I got a sashimi bowl from Gogo ya! It was good and a nice serving size. The fish was fresh and some good toppings. My husband had their sushi tacos and a roll and really liked them too. I had a cucumber cooler that was way too sweet for my taste. I had to water it down to drink it. Perhaps there was a mistake when it was made because I can't imagine they would it this way otherwise. The place is very clean and nice diversity of options. I think the restaurants could do a better job labelling their menus for diets (vegan, vegetarian, GF, etc). In addition, it was weird that to pick up my food, there wasn't some kind of text system or beeper. You just had to stay around and they would just call up orders. This would be very confusing when the place gets busier and noisier. There was water available at the end of the main bar but it wasn't well marked and I had to go walk around to find it. They should also have some kind of areas with napkins and silverware. So my conclusion is good food but still needs some work for the rest.

They have live music at times, plenty of space to hang out, and a great outdoor patio area that's perfect on a nice Boston day. Whether you're grabbing coffee, meeting friends for lunch, having dinner and cocktails, or just looking for a fun place to spend a few hours, there really is something for everyone. Definitely worth checking out while you're in Boston! Be sure to bring in your parking garage ticket for validation!

The staff was super nice, and patient, as I decided on which 6 donuts to get. The stars of the show were the Boston crème and the cake batter. Yum!! You could tell how fresh they were. There was a perfect amount of filling where it wasn't soggy or too dry. I definitely recommend bringing these somewhere where a group of people can split them. They are definitely on the bigger side and it's more fun to try many flavors in good company :)

Came here 9:30am on a Monday. There was only one staff working, so things were slow. I spent 15…read moreminutes in there even though there was only two people ahead of me. I noticed that the sandwiches are premade from the day before and stored in their fridge. Not sure why anyone would order a sandwich there but seeing that makes me less inclined to try. I ordered half a dozen donuts: vanilla glaze, strawberry sprinkles, Boston crème, peach jam, salted toffee, and smores Overall I was surprised at how tough and dense the donuts were. It was like that across the board so maybe it was the dough for the day. My brother said he's had it twice before where it was much better than this time. I was also surprised at how sticky the glazes/coats were. Maybe I'm too used to the hardened Dunkin frosting. Dryer exteriors are less messy to eat, just saying. Vanilla glaze was basic and solid. Strawberry sprinkles has a stronger strawberry flavor than Dunkin but part me actually prefers the Dunkin candy-like flavor. Salted toffee was a bit too sweet for me but it did taste good. I'll eat it in moderation. Boston crème and smores are actually quite similar with the chocolate exterior and the creamy interior. I still went for the smores since it's a limited time flavor for the month of August (that's how they get at you). I ended up liking the Boston crème more because of the stronger and darker chocolate exterior. I also like how the interior is smoother and less sweet. I get that the smores interior is made with marshmallow fluff which would affect the sweetness and texture, but at the same time it didn't deliver what I would expect from a smores - gooey sticky airy texture. The outside mini marshmallows and graham cracker dust wasn't additive. Peach jam tasted a bit like medicine and too sweet + heavy. Overall this place wasn't bad but it certainly had disappointing parts. I don't see myself actively choosing to eat this. I might change my mind after someone makes me try it again and it tastes good.

EDIT: Had a follow up conversation with management. It was an error, and they have assured me that future tubs will be correctly labelled. Also they are sending a gift card, which is nice but obviously not as important as proper labeling, which is what I was really hoping for! I have changed my review from a 1 to a 3. For the record, the ice cream is delicious. My 11-year-old daughter has a severe peanut allergy. What we did not realize is that the ingredients list on the tub is not the ingredients list of whatever flavor we are buying. It is the ingredients list of their base or something, it does not list the ingredients of the flavor. This resulted in a trip to the ER for us. My kid is fine. But if you have any allergies, do not buy from this place. Frankly, listing the wrong ingredients is worse than not listing them at all. If there were no ingredients, my mom, who bought the fomu, would have asked. Reading the ingredients and not seeing peanuts in the list lulled her into a false sense of security. We thought the nuts were almonds, which were listed in the ingredients, and she is not allergic to. This incident happened in July and we did call to complain, so maybe they have changed since then. They gave us a sort of half-hearted apology. No idea if they took it higher up in the chain. Let me be clear: This was not a "may contain traces of" situation where some cross contamination occurred. Peanuts were an actual ingredient. And not listed. read more

After enjoying a delightful dinner, we were in search of the perfect sweet treat to cap off our evening, and FoMu in Boston delivered just that. What sets this place apart is its commitment to being all vegan, which was a refreshing and welcomed change. Vegan ice cream tends to be gentler on the stomach, but sometimes it can fall short in the flavor department compared to traditional dairy ice cream. However, FoMu proved to be a worthy contender. From the moment we walked in, the service was excellent, and the ambiance was charmingly no-frills. But what truly stole the spotlight was the ice cream itself. I'd highly recommend going for the small size because you won't want to miss out on trying as many flavors as possible. Every flavor we sampled was exceptional. The peanut butter chocolate cookie, with its rich and creamy texture, was a heavenly indulgence. The key lime pie flavor was a refreshing burst of tangy sweetness, and the whoopie pie was pure nostalgia in a scoop. FoMu's vegan ice cream not only meets but often exceeds the flavors of its dairy counterparts. As you stroll through the lovely Seaport district in Boston, do yourself a favor and make a pit stop at FoMu. Whether you're a vegan enthusiast or simply in search of high-quality, delicious ice cream, this spot is a must-visit. It's proof that you don't need dairy to create an ice cream experience that truly satisfies the palate. read more

I ended up ordering a two scoop cone with some form of cookie monster style ice cream as well as a scoop of double chocolate (or something like that). I was expecting two regular size scoops, but no, this cone was massive and dripping all over my hand (luckily, they offered a little bowl in case it melted to much) and I went to work on this thing. Both of the ice cream flavours were super rich, tasty, and really hit the spot (not of hunger, but of being cold) on a hot and humid New England day. Overall, Crescent Ridge is in the perfect location for grabbing some desert after eating at the food hall. The prices were reasonable, the kids working were great, and the ice cream gets a big thumbs up.
