She delivered the cake well packaged on the day of the party and everyone was thrilled at the surprise cake! Oh and it tasted MARVELOUS!

The serving size that was told to me was true, the 6" cake served 6-8 people. I plan on returning to this bakery to try some other treats, especially the cannolis.

I did notice they also had a refrigerated section with prepared foods like pastitsio and moussaka. It's a small shop, but very clean and has very interesting food at every corner. Everything was very fairly priced. The baklava is la carte. I got a small assortment of about 7 small-medium sized pieces of baklava and my total came to under $20. The girl behind the counter assured me that the majority of what I bought stays fresh for weeks or even months and she gave me storage tips for the custard I purchased. I will def be back!

From the moment I walked through the door, the kindness and compassion shown to me and my family were truly extraordinary. Every member of the staff treated us with such warmth, patience, and genuine care. They paid attention to every detail, no matter how small, and made sure everything reflected the love and respect my husband deserved. During a time when I felt emotionally exhausted, their guidance and support gave me comfort and peace of mind. The food was absolutely wonderful and beautifully presented. So many of our family and friends commented on how delicious everything was, and it brought people together to share memories and celebrate my husband's life. It was exactly what he would have wanted. I will never forget the care and dignity that were shown to us during one of the hardest times in our lives. My family and I are deeply grateful for the exceptional staff, the thoughtful attention to detail, and the genuine compassion that helped us honor my husband's memory so beautifully. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Attempt #1: I arrived during posted business hours, doors locked, but two women inside. Repeated knocking got no response. It took a phone call to get someone to come to the door to nonchalantly announce that they decided to not open that day. Would have been nice to post a sign in the door saying so. Attempt # 2: I came the following week, not too long after noontime opening. No blueberry muffins in the case, and the same woman who opened the door last time took a look through several plastic tubs of muffins, trying in vain to find one. If there was someone taking bets on whether those tubbed muffins were baked that day, I'd bet a significant sum against it. I wound up ordering a chocolate chip muffin. Impressive dome, good crispiness, densely packed commercial quality chips, but dry. Really dry. Like couple-days-old dry. To make matters worse, the hot coffee was lukewarm. There won't be an attempt #3.

We need to pick up some sandwiches for an early lunch. We ordered large (only $1 more than small) and they are ginormous! Definitely shareable or enough for a second meal! We ordered a side red potato salad. And of course a pound of cookies / biscotti! Everything tasted great! I hope we have time for a second visit during our trip! It was very busy around 930am on a Sunday morning. Very organized and well staffed for the business. Most were picking up pre-orders (cake, etc.). Ordering sandwiches wasn't an issue that early and pans of pizza were out! Love the East Coast and surely miss it! Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful! Most of the customers seemed like local regulars! That says a lot too! Parking is very easy. Large lot shated with another business. Front and then a larger lot on the side. Nice as most parking in this area (including Marblehead and Salem) is street parking only, very few lots! There are plenty of tables for dining inside.

The flavor is still explosive, and a dozen BUNDTINIS are more than half the price of a dozen Bundtlets so he was helpful in offering this alternative.
