Really good, ive ordered here before and enjoyed alot of their drinks before. They tend to be a little to sweet for me but you can always ask for less sugar/sweetener. I got the cocoa cream wow with a milk cap. I didnt end up getting a milk cap which is fine, everyone messes up. I personally didnt enjoy this drink because it was just milk and brown sugar boba. But normally i really enjoy it here.

To die for desserts and homemade Greek yogurt!! My boyfriend recommended this place to me and its a gem!It takes a lot more work, time and milk to make true and good quality Greek yogurt. Here at Alba has it. A healthier and tastier homemade version. I tried plain and orange ones, I love them both! Many pastries items here are like the ones @desserts menu in the fancy restaurant. Honestly, every single thing Ive tried is amazing. Customer service is beyond expectation. I feel so welcome by everyone here.Spinach pie here is very good like recommended by other reviews. Fresh feta cheese and salad. Parking spot is easy to find, especially in the afternoon. Highly recommended😊👍P.s. I got plain Greek yogurt this afternoon. This time, I tried it on a piece of toast, maple syrup, honey, topped with cinnamon powder, and mint leaves. I love it! Cannot wait for the favorite hazelnut and cheese cake very soon!***Updated***I had their Eggplant parmigiana (that reminds me when I was in Italy) and Lavender cheesecake several days ago, its beyond expectation! Such a treat of my day :) (so good that I forgot to take a picture to share 😂)

Everything about this place is great. Every single thing I’ve tried is delicious and I’m never disappointed leaving there. The yogurts are by my favorite. They also have amazing fresh food and awesome baked goods. You also feel so welcome by everyone that works there. Everyone should have a chance to discover Alba 😊

Delicious, enchanting, nourishing. Great discovery on Moody Street, just across from Cronins Landing. Loved the chocolate truffles with pistachio nuts, and the just-from-the-oven baklava, the stuffed pepper and the three bean salad. All top notch and extremely fairly priced. Ill be back.

Alba is a hidden gem in Moody! I wish people knew more about this place! If you like yogurt, you must try their Greek yogurt! Coconut and vanilla are my favorites! Ask to try all the flavor, they are happy to give you a taste!If you want to try their food, I really love their moussaka!This is a family business and their staff are the nicest people you will find in Moody Street!

I’m Greek and went in to buy feta cheese. It was in molded brine water when I saw it. I told the person working there that they shouldn’t be selling that cheese to people. I asked if they have fresh feta in the back and the Greek guy gave me some. I was hesitant to buy it but I did and it turned out fine. Never went there again. My mom walked in the other day to buy some Greek stuff which she didn’t find and bought some cookies my daughter was asking for. I came home to find out they expired in March and it’s now November...

The yogurt is amazing - honey vanilla is my favorite, but sour cherry and honey orange are also good. And today I finally tried their pistachio baklava, which tasted wonderful and was just the right mix of light slightly-crunchy pastry and honey-soaked nuts. Im so glad Alba exists.

Good for a quick bite to eat for lunch or if you want to pick up some fresh pastries. The walnut cookies were soft and buttery and the chocolate baklava was pretty good. The cakes are delicious and not overly sweet. Definitely would go back for the cakes more so than the cookied. The owners are very friendly and helpful.

Best yogurt I have ever had! If you have never been here you need to go right now. Everything is amazing here especially the yogurt. Clearly a family owned business where I am always greeted with a smile. This place is truly a gem.

Love love love the Greek yogurt from Alba! This place would get five stars from me just for that, but its also a wonderful place to get any Greek food I can imagine, both fresh and frozen. As for the yogurt, cherry is my go-to choice.

Just had a piece of Black Forest torte. Yummy! I make my own ( I am German) original torte and it is different. But theirs is very good and comes close in terms of enjoyment

I was so happy when this shop opened! Its such a treat to walk into a market and buy delicious food from friendly people! They have amazing Greek style yogurt in different flavors, a beautiful case of sweets and really nice prepared foods. They also have a selection of olive, olive oils, cheeses, beans, spices and other ingredients to stock your pantry.

Review №24

They have pre-made sweets and baked goods, and Middle Eastern savories, like marinated giant white beans and rolled grape leaves.Not recommended for custom cakes due to flakiness. I tried to order a custom cake. They assured me it was possible so I set a reminder for the birthday, to order from Albas. When the day to order came, I called to make my order, ready with a picture of what I wanted. They wont take orders over the phone or by email, the guy said to come in person tomorrow. I verified hed be there all day. Next day I drive to Waltham - he had just left the shop for the next three hours. Awesome. Now Im looking for a bakery that is actually staffed when theyre open.

Whether you are hungry at work or run out of time trying to find a caterer for an event that will happen next week, stop worrying, and ask Alba. They will take care of you the way your ideal Grandma would, and they will never disappoint! You will then dream of their food always, and always come back...
