The Best!





All the cakes here are super delish, but to me, the Lemon Burst is by far the best lemon cake I have tasted. I always have this cake in the house, especially for the holidays! It's a favorite among my whole family! Can't believe someone wrote that the lemon taste should have been stronger. Please don't do that because it would ruin it. The lemon is perfect as is! :)

All the cakes I've tried from Boston are absolutely the best I've ever had, but the Lemon Burst is to die for. It only lasted 4 days at my house so I'm going to have to order another.

Your Lemon Burst is well named as it does provide a burst of lemon flavor and wonderful texture. It freezes well and I've only heard good comments from anyone who has tasted it. I have tried a few of your other offerings and they also are excellent and make wonderful gifts!

Lemon Burst/Blueberry Blizzard





Fortunately Nothing ever changes with the excellence of Boston Coffee Cakes. I greedily kept the Blizzard and shared a little with my Myrtle Beach neighbors. The neighbors have never tasted anything so delicious - they will order some for sure. The Lemon Burst we sent on to young/new army to him on base in Texas. It was devoured upon receipt by him and his US Army collogues.

Great for holiday brunch

We received your products as a gift the last two years and absolutely love them! We especially love the lemon burst mini Bundt cakes. We wish there was an order option to get just those cakes. So lemony, moist and delicious. We ordered the large lemon burst and while we loved this one too, the mini Bundt cakes are our favorite. Absolutely delicious and can't wait to try more goodies!

Lemon Burst Cake





This cake is the best lemon cake I have eaten. It is moist and has a strong lemon (not too much) flavor. It will stay fresh tasting for a long time storing in the refrigerator after opening. If you buy this cake, it won't be long before you buy another one.

Everyone liked it!





I cut the coffee cake in half and gave 1/2 to my niece. In one day she, her husband, and especially the 3 year old twin girls devoured it. So of course I had to order another one. I live alone so I froze several single servings to take out at a later time.

Lemon Burst, bursting with flavor





Ordered as a gift for relative who is allergic to nuts. This is now her favorite dessert ! Easy ordering and quick shipping.
Patrick M.
Moist, with the absolute perfect melding of flavors





I have tried for years to find a recipe for the perfect Lemon Coffee Cake. I've boiled down four recipes to one but I must admit it's still missing something and my cake is just adequate and nothing I could serve to guests.
One bite of BCC's Lemon Burst Coffee Cake told me to give up trying to find the perfect recipe because they've already acheieved the perfection that alluded me.
There is just enough lemon flavor so you can taste it - but not too much. The poppyseeds are present but they don't overwhelm the lemon flavor; they complement it. Each mouthful is equally moist and the cake doesn't dry out if you store it for a couple of days. In short, this cake is the Epitome of the perect Lemon Coffee Cake.
I can throw away my recipe. I can never match the perfection that is the Boston Coffee Cake's Lemon Burst Coffee Cake.
Kathleen M.
So Good!





Light and lemony. Nice, delicate crunch from the poppy seeds.

BEST coffee cake I've ever had!





I love the original and have tried the caramel apple, and love them so much, but for me nothing beats the fluffy, lemony, perfect flavor combination of the Lemon Burst with poppy seeds. It truly is the best I've had so far. It's now my go-to gift of choice.

Great Service





We often order coffee cakes well in advance of the ship dates. All the products arrive on schedule. It's nice perk for our co-workers. PS. The cakes are always delicious.

Awesome Cake!!!





The Lemon Burst is fantastic - has a great lemony flavor - nice and moist. Freezes great but it didn't stay in there long - one of the best cakes I've ever bought online - will buy again in the fall when the temps are cooler.

Lemon Burst DELIGHT





I ordered the lemon burst for a family reunion and my relatives are still singing its praises. They were delighted not only with the flavor but the fact that it remained moist during the week it was consumed. I won't be surprised if they order from you directly! I assume #5 is the best rating I can give it.
M. Judith S.
Amazing





Have gotten many cakes as gifts from Boston Cake Co. and have loved each and every one. The freshness, distinct taste and quality ingredients make every choice of cake a perfect one.
My father in law- (was) the king of lemon-cake baking. So was leary on sending him one for Fathers day. Since he no longer can bake due to his illness thought he'd enjoy the next best thing. To no surprise his claim was that Boston Cake Co.'s Lemon cake was by far even better than his own.
THANK_YOU for top quality and affordability.
