I like Bakehouse just like most people do. I know it's expensive but the quality is there. However,…read moreI feel like I got duped on this one, so I felt the need to share. This is the amount of raisins, which is almost a full half cup, that were in a single carrot apple muffin. Let me preface this by saying I hate raisins in any dessert . I didn't think to ask because I know their carrot cake does not have raisins so stupid me for assuming and not asking. However, you can't have a half a cup of raisins in one muffin and not call it a RAISIN carrot apple muffin. In fact, I was not really sure where the apples were but I'll assume they were in there somewhere. Saw a few shreds of carrots. I think they need a serious recipe redo on this one or literally call it what it is. So I spent $3.75 on a muffin that was only half of what it should've been. Also, beware of when you get items at the end of the day because they will sell stale items, and charge same $ of course. Maybe I should ask when items were actually made that day if I go in late. When I went in to get the muffin late in the day, there was a huge tray of baked goods that they were obviously trying to sell before they were throwing them out. I think after a certain time of day, if those are not sold they should be half-price. And then you can choose if you want a stale item or not, but paying full price does not seem fair. Don't take advantage of customers and DO BETTER, Joe! p.s. some of the staff need a little hospitality and knowledge training. It's a Parmesan Leek croissant so be able to say that to a customer when they ask three time when you said Parmleek. And yes, it was worth dirtying my measuring cup to write this review and make a point!

A cute cafe in downtown Chatham with lots of street parking. Came here after lunch in the afternoon…read morespecifically for the coffee and desserts, and wow! They have multiple coffee options, and I really appreciated that the coffee actually had a strong, bold coffee flavor. I only wish I could've tried more of their desserts because so many of them looked amazing! Unfortunately, they were already almost sold out by around 3 PM (and this was on a weekday!) so definitely come earlier if you want the full selection! We tried a few desserts and really enjoyed everything. The éclair was a tiny bit on the sweeter side for me, but still good. The pistachio macaron was probably one of my favorites because it had such a strong pistachio flavor, which I love. It was soft with a great texture while still holding its shape perfectly. I also really enjoyed the Black Forest cake - the sponge was soft and moist with plenty of chocolate shavings and wasn't overly heavy. What made the experience even better was the staff. Everyone was so lovely, friendly, and genuinely helpful. They were super proactive with cleaning and helping and made us feel very welcome. I had such a good time here and will definitely be back! Maybe earlier next time so I can try even more of the desserts!

Had a Mango pastry to share with a friend over coffees-while my French pastry standard is Pierre & Michel in Somerville,this place comes close second,so def worth a visit!

I'm a sucker for miniature cupcakes from a cuteness perspective but do hold them to a high standard…read morefor taste -- they have to live up to the fantasy to get a 5-star like this. Because they usually disappoint in the flavor department, I try to manage expectations. A friend served these at dinner last night and I smiled politely before my first bite but man-oh-man do they live up to the tiny perfection of their appearance. Light, airy cake, both chocolate and vanilla-based -- already pretty unusual. But some with added surprise touches of chips or sprinkles in exactly right proportions. And the frosting, just...WOW. Holy Toledo. Fluffy clouds of delicate buttercream, not a hint of greasiness or grinding sugar!!! With actual flavor of fruit in the strawberry and lemon and vanilla in the white toppings. My dream frosting in precisely the right amount relative to itty-bitty cake size. Remarkably, as tiny ones tend to quickly stakes, they are tasting just as amazing the next day, as I type this. Plus, the ones I passed over last night, thinking "meh, blue frosting, that'll be unbearably sweet" or had other reservations about? Uniformly delicious!!! Do I sound ridiculously fulsome about mini cupcakes? Yes, yes I do. But only because these are probably the best I've had in a decade (of many, many cupcake trials), in ANY size. The fact that they are beautiful, minute replicas of gourmet grown-up cupcakes is like getting a winning scratch-off in your birthday card from grandma. Pure bliss.

Wish they had more GF options since the cupcakes I picked up were delicious. I got two vanilla…read morecupcakes with vanilla/sprinkles and chocolate frosting. The chocolate frosting was thicker than the vanilla and the vanilla was definitely fluffier and lighter. Both were good but different. Other options were mini cupcakes but some cookies and other things in GF would have been great.

I got the chicken salad roll up and wow was it delicious. But it was a whole lot of food. I only…read moreate half, and since we were traveling, I couldn't save the rest. I wish they would've had a smaller bites menu. My bf got the cheeseburger and he couldn't get his mouth around it was so big. The French fries with it were the best I've ever had. Crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside. Give it a try, it's not all sweets.

This was a lot more than a bakery to my surprise. There were a bunch of tables to sit at along…read morewith an extensive breakfast and lunch menu along with lots of sweets. The staff was friendly and patient when we decided on what to order. Five items were tried, and each will be described below. Black & White Cookie ($4.50) - This was a traditional sweet that was done right. There was a nice balance of the chocolate and vanilla flavoring while the cookie was not too soft or hard. Chocolate & Vanilla Pretzel ($5.50) - This was very interesting. It was not overly sweet and was large. It was just a different type of pretzel. It was a tad dry, but not bad. Pumpkin Donut ($3) - This had a nice texture, but the actual donut did not have enough sugar I thought. The pumpkin frosting was just right though. Cinabun ($5) - This was very solid. It looked like it was going to be filling, but it was lighter than imagined. The cream cheese frosting was too much for me, but it had a nice texture. Swiss Chalet Wrap ($13.99) - This came with fried eggplant, arugula, tomato bruschetta, and a balsamic dressing. This was my favorite item tried, no doubt. The wrap was filled and nicely made with a good balance of the ingredients. The eggplant was fried ideally too. It was a well put together wrap. The coleslaw that was provided was plain, but there was much provided anyway. Will I go back? I would.
