★ 4This is a cute little place, tucked into Somerville Massachusetts, right outside of the busier parts of Boston. There are some street parking and a little plaza with a few metered parking as well that you can pay for. This little shop has a few seats inside, not super big, but smells wonderful. They have some pastries, cakes, and select beverages at your disposal. I wish I could have tried more, but I just had lunch and I only grabbed the carrot cake, and it was delicious. I’m not super big on raisins, but there’s a few recipes that make me not mind them at all and this is one of them. Perfect amount of sweetness isn’t overwhelming and has a good flavor. I did see some people order drinks and desserts as well and the plates they put on is super cute. The workers here were nice and efficient, and I was in and out. I’d recommend this to anyone with a sweet tooth, I don’t think you will be disappointed.

★ 5What a wonderful addition to Union square!! There are so many drink and quick bite options. The cakes look incredible and the one I ordered, Opera, was insanely good. The lattes & everything were made perfectly. I also need to come back and try a breakfast sandwich. Staff was delightful and ambience was lovely. Definitely recommend!

★ 4What a cute little cafe! The cakes are very nicely decorated. We got the Thai tea cake, which is apparently a very popular flavor. The sponge was soft and the cream was on the stabler side (probably needed for the structural integrity). The flavor was Thai tea all the way through. I would like to try a different flavor next time! $7.95 is not unreasonable for these cakes.
They have many drink options, and I went with the strawberry matcha latte. It was quite good.
Overall, super cute place with some flavors you can't get elsewhere. I would come back to try more! -

★ 5The Thai tea cake is the most amazing thing, maybe the best cake I've ever had. But also all the other cakes. I've tried the ube, ube coconut and sweet corn, and the cake texture is perfect and the filling is light and fluffy.
