    Corn flake donut
    Cal L.

    Man...Thomas beat me to the first review. I am glad this place opened up in Newton Centre. On one of the side streets away from the hustle and bustle. Service was great. The cashier was friendly and answered all of my silly questions. It's awesome that the downtown area has three donut options. Dunkin, Blackbird, and Pon De Joy. These donuts are true to the Japanese style of mochi donuts. There are twelve flavors and they lean a bit toward the sweeter end. They are slightly bigger than the ones you would get in Asia at Mr. Donut and have eight pieces to each "ring." I love the creativity - taro, strawberry, corn flakes. Salted caramel. Powdered sugar. I wish they had an original glazed. I purchased a dozen for my colleagues tomorrow. Will be back.

    Delicious mochi donuts on display

    Yuuuuuummmmmm! This is my first mochi donut and wow it's delicious! I went with maple bacon, cause bacon, and it is delicious. But even if this was a plain donut I'd feel the same way. The dough is the best part, it's so fluffy and fresh, packed with flavor. I was walking around Newton and happened to see this place was opened and popped in. I was greeted warmly and I asked for some flavor recommendations being a new to mochi donuts. He gave a few recommendations and I landed on maple bacon. So glad this place opened up off the square, easy to get to but away from the hustle and bustle a bit. The store is light and bright just like the donuts. I'll be back for more...maybe as soon as today haha!

    Mochi donuts from top left to bottom right: mango, taro, cornflakes, black sesame, and milk tea!

    Love this small spot. Probably my fave bubble tea around. Mochi donuts are sweet and just the right texture.

    Chewy, delicious heaven. A taste of Asian baked goods right here in Boston. Donuts are soft, fluffy and chewy.

    One of the best hot chocolates I've had in the area (not too sweet either) and great tasting mochi donuts.

It's HUGE, hearty, and TOO GOOD! I crave it all the time! Summer drinks to try: Cucumber Mint Sparkler -- crisp, refreshing & perfect for a hot day Iced Lychee Milk -- creamy, sweet & bursting with lychee flavor Between the made-fresh-daily mochi, giant Fan Tuan and creative new drinks, Crystal's Bakery is definitely going on my food and dessert favorites list

    Confusing looooong menu. The menu isn't very user-friendly, so we went for a recommendation by…read moreanother yelper - get the fresh mochi they said. So we did. Fresh mochi with matcha cream and taro paste, rolled in butter crunch flakes. The order took more than a few minutes to get ready, and it's a little hard to know if your order is ready because there is no visual indicator (a screen displaying order numbers would be so helpful). The staff also wasn't the most careful with the way they were using gloves, they touched their face, the register etc etc. Plus the place is small without any seating so it can get crowded and you don't even know how much time for your order to be ready. But omg the mochi was spectacular. Soft chewy tasty not too sweet. Absolutely smacked it out of the park. A lot of points to improve upon but 5 star mochi.

    Whenevever one of my friends asks for wedding vendor recommendations, I always tell them to go with…read moreThe Icing On The Cake for their wedding cake! Why? A few reasons: 1) Tasting! About 6 months before your wedding, book a cake tasting to come in and try a variety of flavors, look through their designs, and customize your perfect wedding cake. 2) Flavors! Everything is super tasty and moist - no bland, dry wedding cake here. For our wedding cake, we chose a different flavor for each tier: chocolate raspberry, coconut, chocolate hazelnut, and golden raspberry. 3) Designs! They have a great variety to choose from - from traditional to modern. For ours, we went with a silver brushstrokes design on the top part of each tier, and our florist (Central Square Florist) designed cascading fresh flowers on the cake at the venue. 4) Value! Pricing for this high quality is super reasonable, and they can deliver to your venue. On top of that, if you bring in a photo of your cake after the big day, they will give you a FREE anniversary cake, any flavor (we picked carrot cake), designed like your wedding cake! This is an incredibly sweet gesture that we greatly appreciated. No need to save that top tier in your freezer - get a fresh cake, and enjoy celebrating your first year of marraige together!

    Absolutely spectacular. We ordered a cake for our wedding and it looked exactly as we had imagined…read moreand tasted even better. Paula and the team did a phenomenal job in making sure we were happy with our order. The flavor is amazing, and I know this is where I'll go for any occasion.
