In the past, I have experienced dry cupcakes at this cafe before but I really wanted one today so I got one to give it a try again.

The filling Apple cinnamon has a nice flavor but the pasty needed some serious refinement. Pb chocolate flourless bar was pretty good! It always tasted the same! Lemon square tasted ok.

I went to Uncommon Cow with my friend on a Friday evening. The shop was busy but the service was…read morequick. I had seen several TikTok reviews of this location so naturally I had to go check it out. They have a large selection of items: ice cream, lattes, milkshakes, protein shakes, and several different bakery foods. Tons of seating options too, inside and all around the outside of the shop as it is right next to a park. I tried the Maple Cinnamon Latte while my friend tried the Rose Latte. The drinks were decent, a bit too milky and not enough caffeine. I didn't get to try their ice cream, but I would definitely come back for it this summer.

You get what you pay for at Rocco's. These doughnuts are MASSIVE and always beautiful. What makes…read morethem special is definitely the toppings and unique flavors that they put out monthly. Rocco's is also very consistent. You can expect that no matter what doughnut you're getting, the yeast donut or cake rings will always be the same - just vary by topping. This is a really good thing, since they've been open for so long and haven't changed their doughnut recipe. Besides their fun and unique monthly flavors, the good ones I always find myself going back to are the Boston Creme, Maple Bacon, and Apple Fritter. These are classics that are almost always be on the menu. I'm also pretty sure Rocco's has the best Boston Creme in Boston. It's a small shop with tons of options, friendly folk at the counter, and delicious photo-worthy doughnuts. What's not to love?

If you are looking for the most popular, new releases, this isn't the place for you. They have a few new books displayed out towards the entrance, but not much.

As for the cafe inside of the book, there a few tables and a sofa for you to sit, drink coffee and read. I got one of their special drinks (don't remember the name but it was a chai latte with espresso and other stuff added in lol) I do remember it being absolutely divine of a drink.

We recently hosted our engagement party at BirchTree and truly could not have imagined a better…read moreexperience. My fiancé and I had been having a lot of trouble finding a venue that could host our crowd at a reasonable price, so we were beyond thrilled when Birchtree not only accommodated our 60 guests beautifully, but we actually ended up under budget. From start to finish, the service was phenomenal. The team was genuinely invested in making sure our night was perfect. They went above and beyond in every way and more than accommodated anything we needed. We had an outpouring of texts the next day from our guests. So many people let us know how beautiful the venue was and how wonderful of a time they had. The space itself truly showed a refined elegance which was the perfect kickoff to our wedding season. If you're thinking about working with BirchTree, Jayne, Caitlin, and the entire staff we're incredibly organized and attentive to detail, helping us set up, pack up, and even ensured all guests had clean tables, fresh drinks, and the bar staff recommended really unique cocktails & mocktails! We are so grateful to the entire BirchTree team, especially Jayne and Caitlin for helping us set the tone for our wedding. We would absolutely recommend having an event here - you will be in the best hands!

We sat here and sipped our coffees, as the warm morning sun helped wake us up. My fiance and I ordered two small iced americanos, $3.48 each. It has a tinge of sourness, but having added more water, it wasn't too strong. Maybe we will try asking for less water next time or even a quad shot!
