Product Quality

Pros:

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "Everything here is so delicious - from the famous crack pie, to their birthday cake (or their seasonal pumpkin dulce de leche), to their salty options (loved the italian hero bomb) - everything here is worth the high price tag!"
  • "If you have the opportunity to try the anniversary cake, do it!! It was epic."
  • "I recommend going with friends so you can share and try more then one thing."
  • "The cookies and ice cream were so good!"
  • "These cakes are extraordinarily good."
  • "Always great experience for flavor, quality and cleanliness."

Cons:

  • "Prices for most single-items on the menu range from $4-$7."
  • "Their offerings are very expensive."
  • "A cake with a 10in diameter is $120. THAT IS OBSURD!!"
  • "Price for a piece of cake was $10 plus tip, which I didn't think was justified."
  • "50 dollars blown on a pint of milk soft serve that tasted like sour milk that'd been left on the counter 😬"
  • "Their cakes were decent and the staff was average, but the reason this review is one star is that their cakes are extremely overpriced for what you are paying for."
  • "For the money we spent on this tiny layer cake, I could have bought 6 from a local Boston bakery."
