My friend and I selected several cakes and pastries to take with us before leaving town. They had potential, but were fairly bland. Not terrible, but not that memorable either.

I have no idea what some of the other reviews are talking about!! This place is a great little spot. The amount of people in line are proof. If the food was bad there would be ample seating but its not and the seating is limited. this is a must go to for a pastry if your in Boston!!!

Pros

+ FOOD !!!!!!!!

Cons

- snotty people that write bad reviews

felt slightly overrated as the soup/sandwich/coffee is just about what i expect at a decent place like this, but it's good regardless.

the place is crowded as is, w/long order line; took us at least 20 min to finish the food-getting process, and then there's another line for the limited seating (about 25) there were! and there are people who just won't finish their very last bites (or sips)... more
