"The cake itself is super moist and rather addicting."
"It’s the gold standard, but not because of its pedigree. It’s a perfect balance of cake and cream, chocolate and crunch."
"One of our gifts to the culinary world, Boston cream pie is a Parker House original, and its chocolate-covered, pastry cream-filled goodness has been a crowd-pleaser since 1856."
"Creamy, silky, smooth, chocolatey. Heaven!"
"Every New Englander should venture here to sample Boston cream pie at its birthplace. Chef Sanzian’s 1856 recipe lives on in creamy glory."
"Of course this list would be incomplete without Parker’s. If you’re a proponent of the dessert, you have to sample it at the place where it was born."
"It’s as beautiful as it is delicious, and indulge in a slice at JFK’s and Jackie Kennedy’s table (#40) for the ultimate Boston experience."
"Dig into the official dessert of Massachusetts at the Omni Parker House Hotel restaurant, which claims to have invented the chocolate-glazed, cream-filled cake (yeah, it’s actually a cake) in 1856."
"This famous confection was lighter than you might expect with a nice moist cake, moist cream filling, and a good chocolate coating."
"The original really is hard to beat. The chocolate ganache wasn’t too sweet or overbearing; it also wasn’t bitter at all, it just melted in your mouth."
