When you were growing up, was there a place you dreamed your parents would take you for a treat?…read moreWhen you got a little bit older and had a few bucks in your pocket, was there a shop you and your friends would bike to and buy a little slice or scoop of heaven? What about that perfect first date location in high school? Or the place your crew would meet up after you got off shift or after a game to replay the memories? Was there a place where a holiday season couldn't "officially begin" without a stop there to grab some coffee, a box of cider donuts, a Christmas tree, or just a place to sit and catch your breath? Plaskos is all of those places for all of those feels and all of those moments. The fare is top notch, and the staff is warm, familiar and welcoming. It's Americana. It's home. It's the last place you went the night before you left for college, and ordered a large S'mores ice cream with toppings, and drank in the summer sights and sounds in their yard on a picnic table, and the first place you went back to over Christmas vacation. There are lots of ice cream stores. But Plaskos is that one place that makes you feel like you just walked into your grandparents kitchen and they have all of your favorites waiting for you, and they are just as happy to see you as you are to see them. People don't just go to Plaskos because it's an ice cream store or cafe, even thought their home made ice cream and creative flavors taste like nothing you've had before, and their coffee makes you close your eyes and wonder where this has been all of your life. People go to Plaskos because it's tradition. It's who New Englanders are. It's Bean boots in the rain, leaning on a rake and talking over a fence to the neighbor on a fall day, or shoveling a driveway to help someone in need because it's the right thing to do. Plaskos isn't just ice cream or coffee. It's us.

They had picnic tables, even a covered area. I can imagine that this place gets very busy, but on a Saturday evening, there was plenty of space and parking on the side streets. I got a scoop of the coffee and cookies (incredible) and we even got a pup cup for our lil man that came along. It came complete with tiny little dog bones so he was also beyond happy. You order inside and then they'll call your name out the side window when it's ready to be picked up. Easy, great ice cream, lovely outside area... not much to not love.

They just unfortunately cannot get things right. I ordered…read morea graduation cake, a stuffed bread and a dozen rolls for a party and sent a relative to pick it up. She came home with only the cake which was infuriating as I had guests coming in two hours and we don't live particularly close but on the other side of town. When I called their first excuse was that I put in two separate orders. I did not. They finally admitted they decided to do two orders (it wasn't that big so not sure why). They should have reverenced on each order that there were two orders but didn't. I asked them to send someone with the rest of my order and they refused. Their solution was that I ask one of my guests to go pick it up. That's insane. My guests don't know their way around and how inconsiderate would it be to send them on a 45 minute journey when they arrived to the party? It wasn't on anyone's way at all. Their next solution was to give me a refund of the part they held back. No. I absolutely needed those items and the biggest issue with that was that the last time they messed up and overcharged me, they couldn't refund me on the spot but said they'd have a credit behind the counter for me. When I went to use that credit, conveniently no one had any knowledge of said credit. Absolutely do not trust them. I had to pay a neighbor to go pick it up for me. I don't have complaints about the food this time but it's only average - it was my daughter that wanted a sickly sweet frosting (think Pillsbury from a can) that I couldn't find at any other bakery. I will never take my chances with them again. They've now messed up two parties.

I would like to send my best wishes to Kyra!!!…read more We ordered a chocolate cake and a strawberry mousse cake. Both were delicious and cooked flawlessly. I also appreciated the fact that Kyra did not try to upsell us. We asked her how much cake we needed for the # of guests we have. Both she and the baker said that the order we entered would be a LOT of cake and would result in massive leftovers. We would not have space in our fridge for that much leftover cake. I appreciated the fact that Kyra was honest and gave us a good recommendation as opposed to trying to sell us more than what we needed. That type of professional honesty results in repeat customers. And 5 stars on Yelp! Both of the cakes we were delicious.

It was later in the day when I went in, so some of the cases were not as full as I would imagine they are in the morning.

I put it in the microwave for a few seconds and enjoyed every bite! I definitely want to get back there earlier in the day and try other pastries and bakery items.

It's easy to become overwhelmed just by walking in. The array of baked goods is breathtaking. Their small quiches are the best I've ever had. I typically get bacon and ham, but I have tried them all. They are so good. It's the kind of thing you end up thinking about and longing for randomly. My wife makes a decent quiche, but we have been trying to achieve the creamy custard like consistency that they have. We haven't had any luck yet. I picked up four of them to take home with us on our last visit and my wife got a chocolate chip cookie. How good can a chocolate chip cookie be? Well, better than you think is probably the correct answer. Expect a bit of a wait if you go there during prime breakfast hours, but it's worth it. I can't say that the service is always the most friendly, but maybe that makes it more authentically French, lol (I'm kidding).
