    Pop Tart
    Connie L.

    Oakleaf Cakes is a cute & cozy bakery near Symphony Hall. Tried a small selection of their items and ended up thoroughly impressed! Cupcakes were moist, not too sweet and came in classic flavors such as Chocolate, Red Velvet, Vanilla, etc. Vegan Pop Tart was great too. It was flakier than a traditional pop tart and had a nice homemade strawberry jam filling. I bought two cookies for my boyfriend and considering how he devoured them both in one sitting (despite not being a sweets person), would definitely say they're quite good lol. Their galaxy brownie cookie was my favorite. Chocolate-y & chewy inside, crispy on the outside and generously coated in rainbow sprinkles. I noticed they also had beautifully decorated whole cakes for sale, so will definitely need to try one someday. Also the barista / cashier lady was very kind and helpful. Highly recommend this place!

    Oaklead Cakes is a talented custom cake designer and bakery that specializes in creating beautiful, detailed cakes for all kinds of celebrations and events. We ordered a birthday cake from them, and it was perfectly made. The cake itself had multiple, well-defined layers and was impressively tall, providing a really great portion size for the price. The texture and flavor were spot-on, the cream filling and frosting weren't too heavy or overly sweet, so the whole cake still felt light and enjoyable to eat, even with all the rich chocolate inside. Based on this excellent experience, we'll definitely be considering them for their more elaborate custom-shaped cakes in the future for other special occasions. They clearly know their craft.

    I come here semi-often and always have a good experience. Today though, I tried their seasonal marshmallow (mocha) latte-- and it was so lovely and rich. I will definitely be back to get it again.

    Stopped by to satisfy my chocolate chip cookie craving and Oakleaf certainly did the job! Their cookies are huge and have a chocolate chunk in every bite. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just like I like them. Seems to be more of a specialty cake store and it's not the coziest cafe ever, but I'd come back to try their other baked goods.

    Cake with images of oru childhood pets

    Our custom cake was fabulous! We submitted photos of what we wanted (childhood pets for a birthday cake) and the cake was beautiful with creativity, precision, artistry, and elegance - a true masterpiece. The whole communication process was easy and efficient during the ordering and pick up process. And the cake itself was absolutely delicious - we ordered chocolate. Highly recommended!!

    A cute little cafe/bakery near Northeastern. I came in on a Saturday afternoon and they still had plenty of sweet treats to choose from. I decided to get the chocolate chip cookies and candied cashew toffee shortbread cookie along with a cold spiced apple cider. The store was pretty busy with customers coming in and out as well as the tables filled, but service was great. The spice apple cider is perfect for the this fall weather and the cookies are bigger than your standard cookie. I enjoyed both cookies and would love to go back and try out their cakes one day.

    I went here for a cake decorating class and it did not disappoint! So much goes into the process of making and decorating a cake from scratch. The basics class includes: layered cake assembly, frosting cake, decorating practice, and decorating cake. This class does not include making your own buttercream or making your own cake layers, but there is a live demo on how to make the buttercream in a standing mixer. My favorite part of the class was getting to practice the different piping techniques on parchment paper. There was also a lesson on piping flowers but that didn't interest me as much. Overall this was fun and I would recommend as long as you are okay with standing on your feet for 3+ hours

    Monster Mash themed halloween party!

    I have been ordering cakes and the dessert bars from Oakleaf for over 5 years. There is always a theme for my parties, and the cake they provide always reflects that theme. They never disappoint!

    Beautiful Crystal Themed Baby Shower Cake from Oakleaf Cakes / Boston

    I sent Oakleaf Cakes a CHALLENGING inspiration picture for a Reiki Crystals themed baby shower cake in pastel shades hoping they could get close to our vision. I had no idea they would deliver above and beyond our expectations. The scattered crystals were elegant (and delicious), the colors were delicate & beautiful and the cake flavors (chocolate & carrot) were a hit with everyone. They crafted little cupcakes topped with mini-crystals to match - so well done! This is the second event I've coordinated with Oakleaf from 1500 miles away! Their passion for creative design, responsiveness and attention to detail make the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. Thank you so much Oakleaf Cakes!

    Vanilla Bean cake with strawberry buttercream frosting

    Delicious Vanilla Bean cake but the star of the show was this Strawberry Buttercream frosting. I usually don't like buttercream but this place does it the right way!! Now can we take a minute to adore the decorations! They knocked this out of the park!

    Really pleased with the cake I purchased from there! I got one of the ready-made gourmet chocolate cakes - not only was it so cute but it was so tasty! The buttercream was so light and smooth and the cake overall was not too sweet. I was genuinely impressed with the cake and can only imagine how good the customized cakes are. Their 5 inch cake was the perfect size for a small party and reasonably priced. The shop also smelled amazing when you walk in. I'll have to come back to check out the coffees and pastries too.

    Cake and cupcakes!

While I do usually prefer my ice cream order to my boyfriends....i do have to admit that I liked his more. Don't skip the waffle cone like I did. Definitely a great stop to add to your day in boston! The flavors are always great, and there's seasonal flavors which rotate that are always fun to try.

I also got their pistachio martini, which comes with pistachio gelato, absolutely insane. They have great pastries, cannolis and desserts here as well.

But I saw other cafes much more busy. I mean the line was like thirty people waiting outside. I ordered a hot chocolate. It was good. I had the chocolate mousse cake. That was very tasty. After you are almost finished, I just felt they are coming over to clear your dishes and watching you and hope you will leave. I like to sit a while and talk but I had the feeling they wanted me to leave soon. There was a line but people were leaving and they were getting seated. All in all, I would go back to try a cannoli. Hopefully, it won't be as busy. You definitely have to come for dessert. You will enjoy!

    This spot was adorable - both for books and food…read more We lucked out as we didn't have a reservation, but called and turns out they had an outdoor table available. We weren't sure how to enter, so we started in the bookstore and found their convenient elevator downstairs! The restaurant is tiny but cozy, which is the perfect atmosphere for a book store! We sat outside in the little courtyard and it's a mix of magical and relaxing! There were only a few tables, so it wasn't overcrowded and with nice weather, it was perfect. I had a salad with salmon on the side which was delicious - and the ginger lemonade - wonderful! From buttered noodles to seafood, everything was executed well. The staff didn't rush us even though they were busy - and they had to give really long wait times to a number of others, but we still weren't rushed. I would highly recommend reservations, but even without we were treated very well. Pricing was in line with city pricing - and the food was extremely high quality and produce was lovely - not a shriveled lettuce leaf in sight. We then went upstairs to the bookstore and perused - each floor has something fun to see (including a tiny kids door - or is it a mouse door for the mouse who stars in the book about the store?!). 100% worth a visit - definitely stop in!

    Beacon Hill Books and Cafe is a three story independent bookstore set inside a townhouse on Beacon…read moreHill, and the physical space does as much work as the inventory in making it worth a visit. We walked into a building with the kind of architectural character that chain bookstores cannot manufacture, with small rooms opening into each other across multiple floors, wallpapered walls, and reading nooks distributed throughout that invite you to slow down rather than move through quickly. The book selection is well curated with staff recommendation cards on the shelves that actually reflect genuine enthusiasm rather than perfunctory notes. We saw limited edition hardcovers and local and regional titles appearing alongside the broader fiction and nonfiction selection. Browsing felt productive rather than overwhelming because the curation kept things focused. The kids section upstairs is one of the more delightful in Boston, with a train running along a track near the ceiling that tends to make a strong impression on younger visitors. There is also an art print vending machine on the second floor that draws its own audience of visitors looking for something small and specific to take home. The cafe occupies the lower level and operates as a separate experience from the bookshop above. We ordered the oat milk cappuccino with Vermont maple syrup, which was worth it. The morning glory scone and the popovers are two other items to consider. The cafe is tiny, around eight tables inside with a small patio, and reservations are recommended for breakfast and afternoon tea service. Pricing at the cafe is on the higher end, and certain fixed price service formats on specific dates push it considerably further, so checking current pricing before booking is worth doing. For a bookshop that doubles as a destination in its own right, Beacon Hill Books and Cafe delivers a cozy, curated experience that rewards lingering. It is the kind of place we would return to just to sit and read with a good coffee.
