there is no question that Winston has the best reputation for elegant floral designs in Boston. BUT, the prices are ridiculous! You could get the exact same design in many other shops in the area for 1/2 the price - and the quality of the flowers would be exactly the same. Most shops get their flowers from the exact same growers/wholesalers! I view Winston as a place where you are paying for the name. When people see you've sent them Winston flowers they know you've spent a lot of money.

I have ordered several gifts from dancingdeer.com and have alway been very pleased with the products and service. They also distribute their baked goods to grocery stores - and I've even purchased their cookies in bulk at Costco! Their ginger molasses cookie is my favorite! Their cakes make great gifts - I often send them to family during the holidays. Their web site is easy to use, shipping is fast and not too expensive.

I have used Copy Cop for many print projects for business and personal jobs. I have always received excellent customer service, from day one. After several years of working with them, it is really nice to have an established relationship with their representatives. They have always delivered on time, and honor their price estimates to the penny. Sometimes my projects have involved some fine-tuning and their staff has given it their highest attention to detail and delivered an excellent final product. They send couriers over very quickly, and are in constant communication via email and phone during the project. I highly recommend working with Matt Thompson - he is a great project manager.

Corners is a nice little framing shop in the Porter Square shopping plaza. They have a very nice selection of frames, both custom and pre-made. With any framing, pricing can get out of control. Often the first quote they offer you will knock your socks off, but then they are willing to work with you find a cheaper way to frame your item. The turnaround time seems REALLY slow. I'm not sure if it's b/c they don't have enough employees - but they take 3-4 weeks to do a job usually. If you're not in a hurry, they are a nice option.

We refer to the Joshua Tree at "The Tree". Having lived in Davis Square for over 8 years, the Tree is our old-standby, and it hasn't changed much over time. That can be a good thing and a bad thing....
We refer to the Joshua Tree at "The Tree". Having lived in Davis Square for over 8 years, the Tree is our old-standby, and it hasn't changed much over time. That can be a good thing and a bad thing. The menu can get boring, though they do try to add diversity with their specials. The quality of service can really be hit or miss. We've certainly had meals where the food comes in 15 minutes, it takes 20 minutes to eat - but then we wait 45 to get our check! It can also be hard to get a refill - you're tempted to get up and go to the HUGE bar yourself in order to fill your pint. The Tree has become more focused on it's nightlife atmosphere - the place is packed with Tufts kids on certain nights after 9pm, and then any "restaurant" service goes right out the window... as well as any hope of being able to talk to your companion across the table! The Tree has a warm spot in my heart - but I hope they continue to cater to the faithful locals, and not just the drunken college crowd!

Living in Cambridge and Somerville, we can all get too dependent on the convenience of establishments that are located in "the squares". There tends to be this virtual wasteland on the streets located outside the squares. One exception is Cafรฉ Rossini. It is located over a 1/2 mile outside of Davis Square on Highland Avenue - so it does not rely on heavy foot-traffic. It relies on the loyal neighbors who are thankful for their fresh brewed coffees, delicious muffins and pastries, yummy pizzas and more! The small interior has several brightly tables and in the warmer months you can sit on the sidewalk and dine al fresco! It's a hip spot that makes you think you're in Davis or Harvard Square -- but be a pioneer and enjoy this spot off the beaten path!

Rustic Kitchen is one of those places where you go, eat, and then at the end of the meal when the check comes you think "Gosh, that's a lot of money for just a so-so meal". I don' t have any major complaints about the food or the service, but I also don't have much to gush about either! If they lowered their prices by $3-$5 per entree the quality and the bill would balance out better!

I didn't have a very good experience here at all. The employees were rude, and they kept me and my mother waiting for 45 minutes, even though we had an appointment. Once I was being attended to, they didn't listen at all to the types of gowns I was interested in, and kept giving me dresses to try on that were NOT the style I requested. For me, it was a waste of time - and I had an amazing experience at La Reine - right down the street.

This is the perfect shoe store for a bride looking for shoes, or looking for her bridesmaids. They have the largest selection of dyeable shoes I've ever seen anywhere. They have a great inventory, so they almost always have your size. The prices range from very affordable, to very fancy and expensive. Their dyeing services are great - you just provide them with a fabric swatch and they'll do them to match perfectly. The employees are very helpful - especially the owner. They also carry a selection of veils, tiaras, etc. Simply a great a place for any bride to visit!

My wedding gown shopping experience was a nightmare - and THEN I found La Reine! I wish this was the very first place I'd visited - it would have saved a lot of time and energy. They have gorgeous gowns and a wonderful staff. The space is small - they only have 2 dressing rooms - one is quite large, and one is quite small. And, they probably could re-carpet the floor - my mom was turned off by the old carpeting. But, overlooking those things - my experience here was A++++ from start to finish. They also have a Waltham location that has slightly less expensive dresses too.
