January 24, 2017 Whipped Urban Cupcake Co.

Just before the holidays, I stopped over to the Boston Public Market to check out Whipped Urban Cupcake Co. and their delicious bite sized cupcakes. The only bad part about the cupcakes was that they were gone in two (ok one) bites. Left: Nuttin Betta (from the Bougie collection), a dark chocolate cupcake with rich […]

December 27, 2016 Beard Papa’s

Who does’t love cream puffs? We headed over to Chinatown to pick up a few from Beard Papa’s. The tiny shop has a few seats at the window, but most people here are grabbing them to go. Mine by the way, barely make it out of the door 😉 You can choose which shell you’d […]

December 15, 2016 Hi B3ar

Thai ice cream has been all the rage these days. For a while, the only place you could find it was in New York. That is, until Hi B3ar opened in Allston. The shop is tiny with only a stools in the front by the window. So what is Thai ice cream? There is an ice […]

October 27, 2016 The Galley Ice Cream

Just in time for the last SOWA of the season, Sunday the 30th, I wanted to post about The Galley ice cream. It’s made locally in Cambridge by Kelly Williamson. She whips up small batch artisan ice cream in flavors like cold brew coffee, salted dark honey, malted vanilla bean and honey vanilla horchata. You […]

October 20, 2016 Très Petite Crêperie

I decided to take a trip into suburbia, Lexington to be exact, to try out the crepes at Très Petite Crêperie. They’re a little hard to find if you aren’t familiar with the area, as they are down a little side alley that isn’t picked up by navigation all the time. There is parking just outside their […]

September 19, 2016 Bova’s Bakery

Sure, you know Mike’s and you know Modern, but do you know about Bova’s Bakery in the North End? It’s a little off the beaten path compared to the other two but it is equally as delicious. Bova’s has been family owned and operated since 1932 – they make delicious desserts and fresh breads. Not […]

September 15, 2016 Mike’s Pastry Harvard Square

I love a good restaurant rivalry. It’s like the New Haven pizza rivalry, are you a Pepe’s or a Sally’s? Here, it is the battle of the cannoli, are you a Mike’s Pastry or a Modern Pastry (maybe a Bova’s)? The shops are located across the street from one another in the North End and […]

September 1, 2016 Danish Pastry House

I had mentioned to a friend that I was going to Watertown to look at dining room tables. When I told her where it was, she asked me if I was going to the Danish Pastry House. I had seen the Danish Pastry House selling their sweet treats at local farmers markets, but didn’t know that […]
