Maya Shanmugam: My favorite is the salted toffee doughnut, but the vanilla glaze is good if you're going for a classic flavor
Terence Chan: Sooooo good! Soft, perfectly doughy and not too sweet. Had the vanilla glazed and the blackberry white chocolate. 4.5/5
Claudio: Artisan doughnuts, great size and original flavors; must try the "vanilla glaze". Great location and some outdoor seating.

BU Today: Try an amaretto (two layers of Italian sponge cake soaked in rum & amaretto liquors, filled with creamy vanilla custard) or a ricotta pie (sweetened ricotta cheese baked in pasta frolla pastry dough). Read more.
Angela Zhu: Only four cannoli flavors (ricotta vanilla chocolate and one other I can't recall) but less sweet than mikes and better
Tallulah Letscher: GET A CANNOLI, you won’t regret it, i got vanilla pudding, a chocolate dipped shell and almonds
Katie Kearsey: Try a vanilla latte...they make their own vanilla syrup, and it's ridiculously good! Also love the grilled cheeses...yum.
Caitlin O'Halloran: It's a great place to study because the music is not too loud, there's WiFi, and the vanilla lattes are amazing. Oh, and a percentage of your purchase goes to charity.
Char C: For a refreshing summer drink, try the iced vanilla coconut latte. Also, everything is recyclable except the food, so you can feel green while you're enjoying your drink - talk about sustainable!
AskMen: New seasonal tasting menu puts the tart citrus on center stage featuring a chilled lobster salad with a lemon vanilla vinaigrette & a pan seared scallops with a meyer lemon gremalata among others. Read more.
