This summer Lady M Cake Boutique opened up on Newbury Street. This is the first Boston location for the brand, which has other outposts in New York, Los Angeles, Charlotte, Singapore and Hong Kong.

The minimalist storefront has full cakes on display and you can order slices or full cakes from the window in the back. Lady M is known for their signature Mille Crêpes cakes, which feature no less than 20 paper thin handmade crepes layered with pastry cream. The Mille Crêpes cakes come in the original, green tea and chocolate flavors. See my post about my visit to Lady M (and the Mille Crêpes cake) in New York here.

Other flavors include: pumpkin nuage (fall only), flourless chocolate cake, and strawberry shortcake to name a few.

I couldn’t resist getting my favorite, the strawberry shortcake. As delicious as I remember it when I was in NY, so light and delicious. I also had a piece of the pumpkin cake which tasted like equal parts pumpkin pie and pumpkin cheesecake. Again, very light with a nice cinnamon flavor and a thin graham cracker crust.

The storefront has no seating, so it’s takeout only. Parking is on street at meters or in nearby garages.

Check out the size of this!! The breakfast sandwich with fried egg (we passed on the bacon or sausage) cheese on toasted bun, served with homefries ($8.50) As you can imagine this was a little awkward to eat, but good none the less.

The restaurant was packed, and even though we had made a reservation, we still had to wait a while for a table. Once at the table, service was a bit spotty – we were left with empty glasses for most of our meal. We felt a little rushed with our meal as the waitress dropped the check before we had even finished our meal. We could take it or leave Cafeteria. The breakfast was good, but we have to ask if it was worth the hassle…

Pinkberry opened on Newbury Street last week, its second location in Massachusetts (the other is in Hignham).

Saturday was a little chilly for ice cream, but we thought since we were in the area that we would check it out. The line was out the door, up the stairs, and halfway down the block. I love pinkberry-but this made me rethink just how much. Is it worth a 10 minute wait??

We were already there, so we waited. The decor inside is minimal but modern. There are a few tables to sit out, and a few more outside, but not nearly enough for the crowds that were there this weekend.

They were giving out free samples while people waited in line to make the wait more bearable. I saw these people walking out with “mini” cup sizes…it’s like a shot of yogurt…really? I feel like you mind as well order a tablespoon of yogurt….(I applaud anyone who has that much self restraint!)

Here’s the conversion:

CA Nutritional Facts | Frozen Yogurt
Serving Size 1/2 Cup | 100 g*

Percent daily values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet. Nutritional information varies by state.

The original has 29 calories per ounce. Which sounds good-but add on all those toppings and 29 calories goes out the window!

They had original, chocolate, their season pumpkin, and seasonal pomegranate. They have a topping bar with almost any kind of topping you can think of, fresh fruit, nuts, granola, chocolate chips, and fruity pebbles.

I get a small original with strawberries and a waffle cookie. Yum! I remember why pinkberry is my favorite frozen yogurt place. The original tastes more like yogurt than its competition (berry freeze, berry line etc.) What’s in this yogurt? Here are the ingredients:

Original
Nonfat milk, sugar, cultured pasteurized nonfat milk with live and active cultures, contains less than 2%: cultured nonfat milk powder, fructose, dextrose, natural flavors, citric acid, guar gum, maltodextrin, mono-and diglycerides, starch

So stop by-I’m sure the crowds have died down by now, and make sure to pick up a frequent buyer card-when you buy 10 you get one free!
