This is a small, Italy-inspired boutique café, and we absolutely loved it. From the aesthetic to…read morethe food and menu, everything is thoughtfully inspired by Italy. When we visited, the owner herself was working solo, which made the experience even more special--she was incredibly welcoming and kind. The cappuccino was excellent, and the overall vibe was calm and relaxing. Such a lovely spot, and we'll definitely be back.

The food and service is fantastic, but the hours of operation leave something to be desired.read more

I have been wanting to try Southie Cookie for awhile and finally got the opportunity! We ordered…read morefrom one of our fave pizza places - Union Park Pizza - and they had two options on their menu! They had the classic chocolate chip and a "flavor of the month" - spiced apple pie. We got one of the spiced apple pies to share and I wish we had gotten two. We warmed the cookie for 15 seconds in the microwave and it was perfect. Soft in the center but a little crisp in some places. The flavor was on point, tasted like a piece of apple pie inside a cookie. Was one of the best I've ever had! We will definitely be trying more flavors. They ship via USPS priority mail so would make excellent gifts for our family. We cannot wait to share the cookie love. Highly recommend!

After gathering multiple quotes from several bakeries, Janelle was able to accommodate the most in the shortest amount of time for the best price (I believe I ordered one week ahead of time). Communication was clear over email about what I envisioned and she offered great suggestions. 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!

This review only covers their liquid nitrogen watermelon sorbet @ Sowa market…read more SO COOL. Literally and figuratively. Who would've thought you could see liquid nitrogen dessert @ a low key food truck market like Sowa? I didn't. Anything involving food + liquid nitrogen is usually a thing of upscale establishments. My friend and I were so ecstatic to see such a sight and offering for only $6. No preservatives added. Just straight up scoops from a watermelon and a couple dribbles of simple sugar syrup (water and cane sugar). Blend that. Then in goes the liquid nitrogen from a hole in the blender. We all watch with childhood excitement at the white puffs of smoke flowing out. It's a rumbling watermelon volcano in the making and great visually and tactilely for people of all ages. Refreshingly cold with the flavoring of watermelon purely intact, by far the coolest and healthiest dessert I've had :)

Stumbled upon the Sowa Market on a Sunday afternoon filled with food trucks and vendors. I already…read moreknew this was the truck to look for thanks to a review I read on Yelp. The watermelon sorbet is $6 (cash, credit card accepted). They also serve pizza there if anyone's interested. The watermelon sorbet is freshly scooped out of a half-watermelon, added sugar syrup, and liquid nitrogen. The magic happens when the guy adds in the liquid nitrogen. He's also very friendly and willing to wait and pose for pictures. The sorbet texture is amazing.. smooth with just the right amount of sweets. For those who are wondering (and people did ask at the market).. yes, it tastes exactly like watermelon.

Love Cals! This is such a great ice cream shop. Tons of flavors with something for everyone. They…read morehave great standard flavors but the real hits are their specialty ones that change all of the time. They recently had strawberry soft serve that you could cover in crunchy stuff (like the strawberry shortcake bar you get from an ice cream truck) and it was amazing! Highly recommend following them an instagram so you can know when new flavors drop.

A perfect experience from start to finish A+…read more I stopped into Cupcake City and spoke with Jodi about ordering a large number of cupcakes for my niece's baby shower. She made me feel as though nothing mattered more than making my niece happy--true old-school customer service. We discussed several options, and then Keri joined us: the Picasso of cupcake baking and design. She was tremendous, and watching her sketch and talk through ideas was incredible. The cupcakes themselves were beyond delicious, with frosting that was absolutely outstanding. Jodi and Keri are an unbeatable team. Thank you so very much. Very grateful!
