Not only were they absolutely beautiful and perfectly on theme, but they tasted even better than they looked!! Karin has always been so kind, helpful, and wonderful to work with!!!

We have been loyal customers for years and there is a reason for that. They are hands down the best cupcakes around!! Highly recommend!!

I ended up with some Finnegan's, 1lb of butter cookies & a lobster tail. All verryyyy good and very delicious. Goodies for work friends to share. They have a parking lot with plenty of spots. I regret not getting a buffalo chicken calzone, fresh pasta and bread. The woman was patient with me and answered all my questions. 100% recommend peeps come here for some treats.

I called and expressed my needs, the woman on the phone was very accommodating, she put a cake on hold for me. When I arrived I noticed that there's plenty of parking. It's a small bakery with a welcoming atmosphere. The woman that I talked to on the phone was even more helpful in person. The cake was absolutely delicious! 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.

For a bakery and not homemade, it was really yummy and you can actually taste the blueberry. It's definitely a cute shop with a few parking spots and very adorable inside. I will go back to try other flavors as well. The texture and the crumb were amazing. I get so tired of dry and crumbly muffins so this was a refreshing change. Service was good and quick.

A local favorite in Stoneham. We got there early and thank goodness cause this place fills up fast…read more Service was amazing. Drink orders taken, then food. The appetizers were fantastic. Especially the home made biscuits. These were amazing. Hot, flaky, very much home made with a maple butter that is sinful. Entrees were mushroom tortellini and eggplant parm. Both portions were large and delicious. Very classic red sauce restaurant. For dessert it was limoncello cake and tiramisu. Both, light and tasty. If you want to stay local and have good Italian food, with a very nice ambiance, then this is the place. FYI -- park behind the building, there's plenty of free space and take the elevator up. And do make a reservation.

We started our evening in the outdoor dining area as the main dining room is a bit loud and it was a beautiful warm evening with the sun starting to set as we arrived. We salivated over the drinks menu but decided not to imbibe and save our use of calories for later. We started with the Stuffed Mushrooms, which were 5 large mushroom caps stuffed with a meatball like stuffing. They were really yummy and somehow escaped into our bellies before I could get a picture. Whoops. For entrees, we ordered the Pasta Louise (penne with chicken, artichoke hearts, and more n a creamy sauce) and Steak Pasta (penne with thin slices of steak, feta, and a light dressing). Both were delicious. The Pasta Louise is popular for a good reason - it is full of flavor and definitely worth ordering again! The steak pasta was good with a much milder flavor profile. The ingredients for everything tasted fresh. The only disappointment was the bread and butter which was a white scali-style bread with little plastic butter packets; I prefer dipping olive oil and spices with a heartier bread. The service was prompt, personal, and friendly. The main indoor space is a bit loud for my taste, so I will prefer to go again when I know I can sit at one of the pleasant outdoor tables. Of the many Italian restaurants in the area, this has been here for decades with good reason - they have a solid business. Enjoy!

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 had a below average budget, and he did a great job of putting a menu together that looked beautiful, tasted delicious and was within our limits. Donald has a bunch of tricks up his sleeve that made planning easy too, like event layout tools to quickly show us where we could place tables. He's also about the nicest guy you'll ever met! The food was terrific, his staff friendly and professional. Top notch company. Highly recommended.

I was told upon explaining the situation that no refunds were to occur under no circumstances. I understand, and I did sign a contract, but you'd think Donald would be slightly more accommodating?

I was a bit dismayed when I went to pick up the cake. Especially since I rearranged my schedule to accommodate them needing additional time to decorate the cake. It was also expensive ($100). I ended up redecorating the cake myself. So instead of saving myself time and effort during a stressful time, it was expensive and became an unwanted project. I'm attaching before and after pictures. The cake flavor was decent (a little dry), and people ate it but it wasn't good enough to save for leftovers. I wanted to write this in case any other family is looking for a decorated cake for a birthday party. You might want to order one of their regular cakes and not ask for it to be decorated. They seem like lovely people. I feel bad leaving this review, but I wish I had known this upfront because I would've ordered from somewhere else.
