Montilios

I have been coming here for a year now. The service up until now has been exceptional. I went in for a coffee as I do every Sunday after leaving the gym. The young lady waiting was on a man in front of me. She finished with his sale, and then walked away to the other side of the counter where someone had just walked in. I was ignored. It is not that she did not see me, I was there for a good 5 minutes. Another young person came from the back to take my order.
I am not saying I will not return, I will. I am extremely frustrated with the lack of service I did not receive.

First time ever to Montilio’s Braintree and I was in love. Came to see what all the hype was about and came away convinced that their reputation has been justly earned. :)
Tried their Fresco pizza for lunch and I Loved it. One of my all-​time favorites now. Crust was thin but delicious. Sicilian-​style (thick) is also available. Must try: sliced tomatoes, feta, balsamic drizzle, basil… simple but oh so good.
Pastries were artfully done in substance and design/​presentation. I did not sample the cake and since this is what they’re known, couldn’t justify my giving them 5 starts, but it is likely that they would have satisfied here as well.
Braintree location is much better than the Quincy one.
Hope to be a regular.

went to there new lunch café in Braintree and got 2 pieces of vegetable lasagne, heated it up 2 hours later and my kitchen smelled so bad, I had to bring it outside to the barrel, I called and they said that it is stouffers frozen lasagne, there new lunch café and they don’t even make there own food, they serve frozen stouffers lasagna.

They have such a great pastry! the lobster tail is the best ever, also have gluten free desserts that you can order .i recently had a gluten free birthday cake and everyone loved it !

I go to the gym across the parking lot, so I have stopped by Montilios a few times for pastry. The service is atrocious. The counter is manned by teenage girls who are slow and have no knowledge of the product whatsoever. Tonight I figured I would order a cake for the holidays. I started asking questions about size and servings. The girl kept having to run behind the counter to look at a chart for every question I asked. without me being able to finish a complete thought. This was coupled by dirty looks. Finally she gave me an answer I didn’t like and I said thanks and walked out without ordering. I previously gave a review of the Montilios in Quincy which had the same poor customer service issues. It was last minute and I guess I became desperate. Never again.

Some of the best pizza I had in years and I’m from Queens NY. We had some nice pastries, meatball calzone, all outstanding. Excellent prices too.

I chose Montilio’s for my wedding cake. We loved the tasting and chose 2 flavors for our cake. We worked with one of their consultants on the design of the cake and chose a gold detail based on a picture I brought in. The cake was delicious, but the gold detail did not look gold at all. It was a dark bronze color that was not at all what I wanted. I wish the consultant had told us that it would not look like the photo I brought in and I would have chosen a different design. Sadly disappointed.

Nice place. Really good pizza. Pastries are good too. Chicken parm was fresh. Good service.

Great bakery! I come every Saturday morning and the two girls working are great. Highly recommend the coffee!

I absolutely LOVE this place. The pastries are fabulous and the staff on Saturday mornings are always very friendly and helpful and greet you with a smile on their face.
This place is worthy of a 5 star rating and I can attest to the BEST cannoli I’ve ever had!

Can’t say enough good things about this place. I’ve been purchasing my cakes and other holiday items from Montilio’s for years and never a disappointment Whether it is a display cake or a custom designed themed cake they are always delicious. Thank you for making my events that much «sweeter».

My daughter wanted a Paris theme Birthday.
Not any easy theme to find in party stores…
Montillio’s Braintree designed an amazing cake for her! They really captured everything she described. She was so excited when she first saw it.
Not only did they cake look beautiful, but it was also delicious! It was the center piece of the party.
Thank you so much Montillio’s!!!

It’s 11:54, and I just got off of the phone with a guy named «Frank». We paid $ 400 for a cake, and expect it to be on time… (It was supposed to be here at 11:30) It’s totally okay to be late, but a call would have been nice.
So this guy «Frank». I talk to him some more, and he has a bit of an attitude. I ask him «if YOU paid $ 400 for a cake, wouldn’t YOU expect it be on time?»
With an attitude Frank says «I don’t know… Stuff happens… There can be traffic… Who knows?»
He claims he spoke to the «Director of Deliveries»… Who apparently doesn’t work in an office… I guess dispatching a simple cake is too difficult for their crew.
I asked to speak with the «Director» so I could ask him for a quote for time… He says «they’re going to be there any minute» with an attitude… We all know that’s the run-​around.
He was giving attitude from the minute we got involved.
What a crappy way to treat someone who paid all the money for a cake, but got quite the opposite in service.
If you’re looking for a place that will not only give you a cake, but piece of mind that you’re going to get value for your investment…
This is obviously not the place, and if it is…
«Frank» is definitely not someone who you want to rely on.
It’s 12:05 cakes still not here.

Had the WORST ICED CHAI TEA OF MY LIFE. It was way too spicy as if it was ginger tea, I had a few of my coworkers try some and they too agreed that it was way too much Chai than necessary. Unfortunately I believe the woman was supposed to follow the directions on the bottle that said «fill cup halfway then add half skim/​cream/​milk/​soy» but it was more like she filled it to ⁵⁄₈ Chai, ¼ milk & ¹⁄₈ of ice. Still traumatized by the taste. Next time I’ll just get one of their AMAZING GOURMET COFFEES
Their better at those

If you crave something sweet and delicious, need a cake or pastry for any event thy this place. Everything is so tasty, yummy!!! And their prices are great!!!

Great Quality, always Fresh, you will not be disappointed. Do not miss them. Excellent experience every time at Montilios! !

Really disappointing experience for our cake tasting. We waited over 45 minutes despite showing up for our scheduled time. During this point not one person came to speak with and apologize for the wait.
When we finally sat with your consultant, we were quickly shown the book and explained what came in our package. We were then brought cake samples, which were actually pretty good which I wasn’t expecting after reading complaints of dryness.
This is when our meeting got even better. Our consultant sat with a couple who came in about 5 minutes into our tasting, leaving my fiancé and I awkwardly sitting there. To top it off, she came over to take the book of cakes that we were looking at, to show this couple.
We were so disappointed, it was our first tasting for our wedding and we were so excited, it ended up being the worst customer experience I’ve ever had.

Yum yum yum…
t,
That’s all I heard from my nephew and niece. But of course they are partial do anything with sugar in it. Recently ordered a chocolate oreo cake with whipped cream filling and whipped cream frosting. YESSSSS… best decision ever! It was perfectly chocolatey w/​out being too sweet. They also make an awesome banana split cake (I get it with fresh whipped cream, of course! is there anything else?)
This location in Braintree also serves a little more than their Quincy location — pasta and a good variety of arancini balls (italian rice balls). Haven’t tried it yet but their pizza is really good!

My fiancé and I visited here in order to select our wedding cake. Upon hearing fairly great reviews about this place, my fiancé and I were extremely excited to see what this place has to offer. We spoke with a very nice lady named Joyce who guided us through the cake design and tasting process. She was pretty chill and had a lot of knowledge about wedding cakes. She was extremely helpful and informative. If you ever decide to get your wedding cake from here, make sure to ask for Joyce!
However, my fiancé and I decided not to order our wedding cake from this place mainly because we didn’t like the cake taste. Don’t get me wrong, it’s delicious by all means, but it just wasn’t for us. In my personal opinion, I thought the cakes were a little bit dry and boring and could use a little bit of more «excitement» if you know what I mean.
All that to say, this place has a great staff and they will definitely take care of you if you decide to order your cake from here.
Oh one another thing… while we were waiting for Joyce, I got hungry and I ordered a slice of pizza and it was very delicious!

Montillio’s was the required cake vendor for my venue, but I am so glad it was! From the tasting to the cake itself, my wife and I got everything we wanted.
They were running behind on the tasting, yet we weren’t ignored, offered complimentary coffee drinks while we waited. Frank, who worked with us, didn’t rush us through the tasting portion, and was thoughtful, conscientious and non-​pushy as we planned out the details. That he left us to our own devices to do the actual tasting was nice; we were able to sample and pick to our hearts’ content. Montilio’s doesn’t’ mess around with the tasting either – we were provided 8 of their most common flavor combinations! My only desire was to have descriptions because we didn’t quite remember each combination as we were trying them. I would also like a different layout for their flavor list; I was semi-​confused about some of the flavor options and which ones were classified as «premium» or not.
The cake they made was GORGEOUS! I am so happy we chose the hand-​drawn peacock feather design, our guests loved it, AND they thought the cake was delicious. I have never had a delicious wedding cake in my life – one been good, but most range between okay and crap. The cake Montilio’s made was moist and tasty. My guest agree, more than a few have complimented the cake.
Montilio’s isn’t cheap, but what you are paying for is worth it – they are famous for a reason!
