I was in the area with my friend, and we were looking for a bakery to grab a cupcake for her…read moredaughter's birthday. We put Bean Bakery Café into the GPS, and on the way there, we passed a plaza with another Bean Café location. We were a little confused at first, but decided to stop at the one we passed since it was closer. I'm not sure why the GPS sent us to the other location, but I'm glad we spotted this one! We ended up getting a cheesecake cupcake, which was phenomenal, and a chocolate-covered cannoli cupcake that was also really good. We also got a chocolate chip cookie that was honestly to die for! We tried an iced coffee as well. It was good, although it had so much flavor that it didn't taste much like coffee to me. I will say the prices are definitely on the higher end for a bakery, but I also believe you get what you pay for, and the quality of the baked goods was there. Everything we tried was delicious, and I would definitely come back to try more of their treats. It was a great little find while we were out looking for a birthday treat!

Both were definitely worth trying! Parking is limited, which can be a little inconvenient. Also, be aware that there is another location just down the road that didn't come up when we entered the address into our GPS, so double-check before heading out. Overall, a great spot for coffee and something sweet, and I would definitely go back!

I craved a special cake for my birthday that was not on their extensive cakes menu -- German Chocolate Cake, and was delighted that a week's notice was all I needed to score an amazingly, beyond-words perfect 10" Extraordinary beauty. Arguably the BEST CAKE I've ever seen or tasted, & that's a lotta cakes! I should write a poem about its JOYS -- yet we didn't even remember to take a photo.

Who doesn't love a cupcake!…read more Maine Girl Cupcakes opened a very small storefront shop in Natick Center offering 100 signature cupcakes and custom made cakes by special order. Also, they have a limited amount of cupcakes for walk-in customers with around 12 kinds of cupcakes on hand, so they are open until they sell out on the weekend. The pricing (in 2022) for each signature cupcake is $5.50 each, $20 for 4, $27 for 6 and $48 for 12. I stopped by Maine Girl Cupcakes at opening time and there was a line crammed into the very small shop. I picked out 6 cupcakes to enjoy back at my home which is halfway to Maine, lol. I got: Orono Oreo (cookies-n-creme cupcake, cookies-n-creme buttercream, cookies-n-creme candy bar, chocolate covered Oreo) Camper (chocolate cupcake, marshmallow buttercream, graham cracker crumbs, chocolate drizzle, marshmallows ganache, miniature chocolate bar) Cozy Cocoa (chocolate cupcake, hot cocoa buttercream, chocolate ganache drizzle, marshmallow bits) Southern Belle (red velvet cupcake, cream cheese buttercream) Best Friend's Friend (chocolate cupcake with vanilla buttercream, chocolate ganache drizzle, chocolate sprinkles) PB Party (chocolate cupcake with peanut butter buttercream, chocolate ganache drizzle, & mini PB cup). The texture of each cupcake was very moist and dense and buttercream frostings and toppings were sweet, but not too sweet. Just on the overwhelming demand for cupcakes, another customer suggested a bigger shop is definitely needed. Maine Girl Cupcakes are definitely wildly popular here in Metrowest!

That you for a wonderful experience.

First of all, the staff are so nice! My mom and I stopped by here with no idea what to get, and the…read morewoman running the register was able to answer questions we had. We decided to try four cupcakes and three brownies - one of which was gluten free! The cupcakes we got were spectacular with wonderful amounts of flavor that wasn't just sugar sweet. I think of all the cupcake places in Worcester, these are the least likely to cause you to go into a sugar induced coma. Ours were a little on the drier side and was crumbly, but not enough to dock a star. The brownies were great, probably more frosting than brownie, but they were rich and the gluten free one you couldn't even tell it was gluten free. I would like less frosting on the brownies, as that sort of overwhelmed the actual brownie part, but this is also minor. Everything was $4 each I believe, which is consistent with other bakeries in the area, so nothing to remark on there. They do also have savory items for breakfast and lunch too if you're interested in an actual meal. They do also have a nice little cafe seating area that's slightly separate from the Woo Public Market, but there's also plenty of seating a couple feet away at the market too. Overall Rating: 4.5/5 Definitely would come again.

I love their chocolate croissants, raspberry shortbread cookies, and chocolate-dipped macaroons. My husband loves their ginger cookies, carrot cake cupcakes, and pecan rolls. In the summer, they also have delicious Raspberry Lime Rickeys. Earlier this week, we took our drive to Quebrada and bought our yummies. I was getting a straw for my Rickey, and my husband headed out the door, thinking I was right behind him. When he realized I wasn't there, he returned to the store to find me. He walks with crutches, and on his way back into the store, something happened and he fell. At that very second, everyone in the store went running to help him. I helped to get him up, and the entire store staff went into helper mode. One person brought him paper towels (he had hit his nose and was bleeding), someone else brought band-aids, someone brought a bag full of ice, and someone else brought him some water. They asked him to have a seat, and kept checking to see how he was and if they could do anything else to help. The manager even gave me her personal phone number. I assured her that this wasn't the store's fault. She understood, but still wanted me to have her number. Everyone there remained calm and knew exactly what to do. It was an extraordinary experience. I did use the manager's number to text her my heartfelt thanks, and also emailed the company's owners to tell them about the experience, and to praise the staff at the Wellesley store (as well as the customers, who were also extremely compassionate). Even if their pastries weren't so delicious, I would return the Quebrada in Wellesley forever because of how they handled this mishap. But their pastries ARE delicious, so you should go there and try some!

Chocolate Croissant: Great for people who are all about the chocolatey. Big chunks falling out. For people who are all about a proper croissant, the place down the street is far superior, unfortunately, and with better parking. The croissant here was soft, not flaky. Bendy, not brittle. Blueberry Muffin: Had this on a previous visit a year ago (not pictured). Much like the croissant, it was okay. Overall experience, just okay. Nothing wrong with it, but some bakeries have me thinking about what looked great in the case that I didn't have, and might have next time. Not the case here.
