Located just down the block from Ball Square Caf and family owned and operated since 1887, Lyndells Bakery in Somerville was one of those rare places that beckoned a visit despite no prior knowledge of its existence, the service and products both oldschool and pretty great.Not really identifying with a specific style or nationality, and thus quite the opposite of newer Artisan spots focusing on French Pastries or the great Italian spots in Old North End, entry to Lyndells immediately sparks nostalgia of a small town upbringing, the modestly dressed middle-aged women with distinctive Boston accents standing back and going about their duties until approached, but then happy to inform or recommend what is best.Not tossing about words like organic or artisan, and certainly not trying to reinvent the wheel, Lyndells instead focuses on classic bakes, doughnuts and wedding cakes rich with thick buttercream or boiled frostings, first tastes of the Chocolate Whoopie Pie and dipped Buttercream Cookie not subtle in the slightest as sugar, flour and oil all coated the palate.Offering no lack of variety spread across a large floorplan with the bakery itself visible through windows behind the racks, Almond Cannolis had just been filled according to the older of two bakers and true-to-words the mascarpone was nicely cradled in a robustly crunchy shell.Not particularly impressed by the Jelly Donut, granulated sugar clinging on tightly to a surface glistening with oil, better bites were found in a traditional Boston Cream Pie as well as the Vanilla clair with similar custard filling, the Black & White Halfmoon eating much like its Deli cousin, but with a fluffy base that was more cake-like and fluffy. endoedibles.com
When I was a child, this was a really nice and fresh bakery, well like most bakeries. This bakery has transferred ownership twice from what I hear from neighborhood folks. The current bakery is better than the prior owners, but just not nearly as good as the original. Too many of the items here just take okay, not fantastic. Try Elm Street Bakery in Everett and you will know what I mean!!!
Lyndells is a great bakery.their half moons are delicious and one of a kind. No long lines. Definitely worth a trip to the north end!
