Delightful & Brings a Smile

Aug 9, 2019

I sent this to a couple of people last week and each person was so grateful for a sweet treat. It brought a nice smile to their families and gave them a chance to feel good when facing some difficult times.

best coffee cake I've ever had

May 29, 2019

The Great One is the best coffee cake I've ever had. It was so moist and stayed fresh for the whole week! I was so delighted with this coffee cake that I sent it to my family and friends for gifts. They all loved it! Don't miss out on a slice of this!

One of the best

Apr 27, 2019

Ordered the Great One to take to family for Easter and was very pleased with this cake. Very moist and tasty great by itself or with a side of fruit and a dollop of whip cream for a nice dessert with coffee. Arrived on time & well packaged. Will order from Boston Coffee Cake Co again. Very good products!

I have used the coffee cakes as gifts and each time, they have received high comments on how fresh and delicious each one has tasted. Highly recommend the coffee cakes as gifts or for self usage.

A Sweet Review

Apr 22, 2019

I am a professional sweet person, meaning I love sweets. Some people knit or do crossword puzzles, but I look up on line dessert items. I love this coffee cake. VERY moist and the packing was A plus. I have sent two as gifts already. The next one will be mailed to me. Enjoy your coffee cake.

The Best Coffee Cake Ever

Apr 15, 2019

I have tasted other coffee cakes over the years and yours is the best ever. It is filled with cinnamon and sugar and you can taste the butter that makes it so delicious.

Always a hit!!!

I have been purchasing goodies from Boston Coffee Cake for many years for myself as well as gifts. The Great One has always been a hit and sinfully delicious!

What a delight

Mar 26, 2019

It is great to be able to present such a delicious coffee cake , regardless of the occasion. The comments have been how much that they have enjoyed the cake , as the texture and flavor is that you just don't want to stop eating one piece.

Nancy B.

It's the best!

Delicious coffee cake. The best I have had. Moist and lots of cinnamon. Would recommend this to everyone.

Always a Hit!

Mar 11, 2019

I happened onto the Boston Coffee Cakes when I was looking for great reviews of a yummy treat to send to our son's family across the miles. We have since placed 4 orders to other loved ones around the states. We recently sent "The Great One" to our daughter's little family in Idaho. She told us how delicious it was and raved also about it being so moist. I am very happy so far with all the Boston Coffee Cake varieties that we have sent because of the great comments and big thank yous that come our way. I feel like I am sending a little bit of homemade goodness to our family when grandma isn't there to bake.

Excellent product very delicious

James P.

Yum!

Feb 21, 2019

Yum!! Well, that's what my daughter said when she took the first bite! The coffee cake arrived a couple days before Valentine's Day and I told her she could freeze part of it if she and her husband didn't finish it within a few days. She hesitated and, with an "I'm going to have to switch to sweat pants" response, told me it was too late - evidently, it didn't last long at their home! I've been giving and receiving these coffee cakes for years, and they never disappoint, both in flavor and in the smiles they bring to the recipients!

Karen B.

Truly Great!

Feb 14, 2019

My boss has been giving these coffee cakes to our clients for the past couple of years and we've heard nothing but rave reviews. Finally had to break down and try it for myself. This cake did not disappoint! I went with the 1 1/2 pound cake which was perfect for my husband and me. Even a few days later the cake was still moist.

The Great One

Jan 3, 2019

The Great One was ordered for a dear friend for Christmas. I had never known about Boston Coffee Cakes until I received the catalog in the mail. The cake made it to her place in time for Christmas and she was "over the moon"! She wrote to me and let me know how wonderful this cake was and was the "BEST" she had ever had. She, also, made note that she was contemplating whether to share it...lol. She wanted it all to herself. So congrats on a cake well made. I guess I will have to try one sometime. Do you have samplings?

Marla I.

Disappointed

Jan 2, 2019

I ordered one of the Holiday cakes and was extremely disappointed. I ordered it because I like cranberries and it seemed to me that someone forgot to put the cranberries in it. The other coffee cake was very good. So, I averaged my rating.

I gave three of these cakes as gifts and one for myself. They were a huge hit! They arrived exactly when promised. Because of an emergency, one cake sat on a porch for a day or so but was just as fresh and delicious when she got back home. I'm so glad I ordered these.

Christmas on west coast

Dec 27, 2018

I came across the web page for these coffee cakes and thought this would be nice to send to my families in California and New Mexico. I was concerned about the timeline and whether or not they would be fresh in 5-7 days so I paid the extra for 2 day shipping. I received a very nice comment from recipient on Facebook that morning sharing her appreciation and LOVE for it. I need to order one for myself soon..well, maybe after I've worked off all the Holiday calories. :-)

A 53 year old bachelor son always receives a goodie on holidays from his mother. He has certainly outgrown cookies, popcorn, candy, etc. So his mother tried a new item by ordering a coffee cake for Easter. HE LOVED IT! Thanks for a new yummy gift idea.

Good buy for the price

Jan 18, 2018

We first tasted these cakes when a relative received one as a gift and we were impressed by how moist it was. We purchased several cakes to give as Christmas gifts. We will order this again next year. The shipping is a little costly but there were reduced shipping deals closer to Christmas. Everyone loved the cakes.

Helen B.

Pass it forward

Jan 3, 2018

I received one of these as a thank you gift for business. My family absolutely loved it. So for Christmas, I skipped sending an overpriced basket from another company and sent the Great one instead. Best decision ever. My sister and her family were thrilled. I let her know she could freeze it if they couldn't eat it all right away, and she said that wouldn't be a problem. Her boys were already asking her to order another one.

Catalog with prices included with gift

Dec 10, 2016

Quality of cake is very good. My only problem is that when you send a gift do you really want a catalog included with all the prices. I for one feel it is not necessary to tell the people you are sending a gift to how much you spent

John

Owner Response: Hi John. Although we do understand your issue please note that most mail order companies do include a catalog with their shipments.

YUMMMMY!

Dec 6, 2016

We received "The Great One" as a holiday gift from a client. I have ordered 4 of these since for my holiday gifts! This cake was so moist and delicious - it lasted a whole day in our household:)

Really Good!

Nov 16, 2016

I took a chance and ordered their most famous "staple" coffee cake (the cinnamon one), and I was really happy I did. It truly was really moist and had lots of cinnamon flavor. It was worth it, and my whole family loved it. I'll reorder for sure.

I use to purchase this cake at Stop & Shop locally. However, it seems for the last year I do not see it on the shelves. So, I found the web site and ordered it....husband loved it (as usual). As long as it's free shipping, I will order from the site. Otherwise, no. Hubby will have to settle for apple pie. :o(

Best Switch Ever

Feb 15, 2016

We had enjoyed a coffee cake sent to my parents house for Thanksgiving so I decided to switch and send coffee cakes to family members for Valentine's Day this year instead of flowers and cookies. Since 2 family members are chocolate lovers I chose the triple chocolate coffee cake for them and the great one for the other 2. They were all delighted. They arrived promptly, moist and full of flavor. I will continue to use the coffee cakes on special occasions verses the cookies and flowers I used to send.
