Kilvert & Forbes Bakeshop

When in Boston, be sure to visit the Freedom Trail and hit the historical spots.
This little dessert place was discovered when I was venturing through Quincy Market/​Faneuil Hall. It is located in a massive hall with about 40 food shops throughout filled with hungry patrons.
After eyeing at this bakery, I decided to go with the cream filled chocolate chip cookie (~$ 6). Initially, I thought it was ice cream between the baked goods and was excited for it. As much as it looked good, I was not sold on this at all. Cookie was soft, moist, and delicious. I only had the pieces of cookies and threw the rest away.
Also, the prices are ridiculous. Cookies alone are about $ 3.25. Overall, I wouldn’t come here again.

Well, what can I say about this place except that it has arguably the softest, most delicious cookies in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts?
I’ve tried their Heath bar cookies, the double chocolate cookies, the white macadamias, and of course, their chocolate chip cookies. All that I’ve tried so far have tasted amazing.
My only complaint… and literally the only reason why they didn’t get five stars… is that their prices are borderline outrageous. Just three chocolate chip cookies will run you $ 8.36 before the sales tax and about $ 8.95 after it. I’m sorry, but as good as these cookies are, I think three bucks a pop is asking a bit much… and that’s only if you buy three of them. Just to buy ONE is like three and a quarter.
Beyond that, they’re truly awesome and if you’re traipsing around Faneuil Hall Marketplace, have a look at their selection. They sell way more than just cookies. I just haven’t gotten around to trying anything else yet, but I intend to.

Smells better than it tastes.

Good cookies (4 stars) crappy cupcakes (1 or 2 stars). When a four year old doesn’t like the frosting on a cupcake you know there’s a problem.

I got the double chocolate chip cookie for $ 3.50. It was super hard and sweet, without much flavor at all. Would probably not come here again.

I work near Faneuil Hall and love walking through the busy food hall at lunchtime…
I tried the most amazing brownies and huge cashew turtles at this gourmet sweet shop where I rate was once owned by Boston’s own John Kerry… Love the history! Nice people at the shop too. very helpful and let me sample…

Decided to try this place while visiting Quincy Market! It was one of the places that first captivated me because of the delicious looking desserts… and to make it even better, there is a sweet deal for 50% off if you purchase 3 cookies! (Special promotion until 3÷31÷15)
We ordered:
–1 Maggie’s double chocolate chip cookie
–1 oatmeal raisin cookie
–1 Maggie’s walnut chocolate chip cookie
Pros:
–good service! Ladies were nice and gave suggestions.
–huge cookies! The reason I was appealed to these cookies in the first place is because of how big the cookies looked.
–pretty fresh cookies! The cookies broke apart so easily showing that it should be pretty fresh! Yay for soft, chewy, sweet cookies! Hit just the right spot.
–good variety of other parties and desserts! I saw cute cupcakes, muffins and I believe they also have coffee.
Cons:
–the original prices are a little ridiculous. I mean, how much does it cost to make a cookie? But it’s part of the market, so I can’t critique much.
Overall, would come here again if they had the deal!

SUCH A PITY!
I saw this bakeshop immediately upon entering the marketplace and my eyes went gaga over all the sweets.
Even though I was full from my meal, I came straight back here to try something. They had so many awesome-​looking cookies but because each one was over $ 3, I decided to go for something I hadn’t tried in Boston before. I was thinking to get one of their cookie sandwiches, which also looked amazing, but when I asked, they said the cookies were hard instead of soft (and I only eat chewy cookies) so I went for a macaroon, which was $ 3.95. Such a pity, as I mentioned. It was too sweet and even though my 3 friends and I shared it, we couldn’t even eat half of it. If it were sweet AND delicious, I would’ve still finished it because of the price but I ended up deciding that they were wasted calories.
I can’t say anything for their other desserts but don’t bother with the macaroon! Even someone with a sweet tooth like me can’t enjoy it.

Went in and there was one girl working who appeared to be new.
I was over charged for my cookies and asked her to void out the transaction and run my card again and she didn’t know how to do that.
I asked her to get someone to help her out and she was the only one there and no one could help her.
I don’t necessarily blame the girl behind the counter as she should not have been left to fend for herself before being adequately trained.

I’ve eaten a lot of cookies from different states and countries and I must say their chocolate chip cookies and chocolate chip walnut cookies are two of the best cookies I’ve ever had!
I’m giving this place 4 stars because their cookies are too pricey. But if you are a cookie monster and you’re in Quincy Market, you must try their cookies. Highly recommended.

I don’t know what a 5-​star bakery looks like yet, but this one comes awful close. I guess I hesitate to give it 5-​stars only because I tried just the cookies, but if I’m rating on cookie alone — then 5-​stars it is. Generous sized cookies for a reasonable price (considering where you are buying it from) and it is super delicious! We tried the triple chocolate, the M&M, and the classic Tollhouse. Man, they were all good. If you’re at Quincy Market, be sure to try out this wonderful place if just for the cookies alone!

Talk about freshly made, i literally watched the woman behind the counter take giant globs of chocolate chip cookie dough, mash it into a bin of mini m&ms, and put it on a tray for baking. I would have eaten the stuff raw if i could. Ordered a macaroon, which was perfect, and a woopie pie the size of my face! The woopie pie filling, I’m sorry to say, was frosting – it would have been better if it was a whip cream of sorts. Besides that, the store is great. I will definitely be back!

I got their chocolate chip cookies before. Huge, chocolaty, rich cookie. I can never say no to a cookie and this was no exception. Freakin love cookies.

$ 3.25 for a cookie was a bit expensive.
But, we were hungry so our stomaches won and we ended up getting 4 for $ 12.
We got three varieties… chocolate chip, oatmeal chocolate chip, and M&M.
The chocolate chip was the best.
M&M was a bit hard, and not as tasty.
I got an oatmeal chocolate chip and it wasn’t what I was expecting… it tasted a bit like a spice cookie with oatmeal and chocolate chips. It wasn’t very good at all. I don’t even think I finished it.

If you want a good cookie, allbeit at a premium price, go here and avoid the chip yard.
We went with their Heath toffee cookie as it did not disappoint. Wonderfully moist and chewy with plenty of chocolate covered toffee flavor.
I’m sort of weird with my cookies in that I don’t like a lot of butter in them. These cookies definitely don’t hold back. But my wife says in crazy and that these were basically perfect. Anything less than four stars and I’m wrong. Alright then lady!

This bakery have some of the best cookies I’ve ever had. 6″ diameter and plenty of variety. From chocolate chip & peanut butter to toffee and m&m and all kind in between. As well as a full selection of classic and inventive baked goods to choose from. Great service and delicious treats.

I had a hankering for something sweet, and took a walk through the marketplace at Faneuil Hall to find a fix. I stopped at Kilvert & Forbes Ltd, and was enamored by the macaroons in the window because of the size. I asked about them, and I was blatantly ignored. I tried again, and I was again, blatantly ignored by the girls behind the counter because they were too busy playing catch with a friend of theirs who was visiting or whatever.
I’m sorry, but customer service is serious in my book, and if you want customers’ business, stop playing around and pay attention to them. You’re in the heart of the city, and tourists take our businesses here in Boston seriously…

Kilvert & Forbes Bakery serves up probably the BEST cookies I’ve had in my life! The cookies are huge, but man, they are so buttery! I have a crutch for Chocolate Chip and Sugar/M&M Cookies. The cookies are like slightly crispy on the outside but ooowy chewy in the middle, just the way I like it. Did I mention that they are buttery? I did? Well, I’ll say it again, I love their cookies and all their buttery goodness!
The cookies are a little pricey, one cookie is about $ 3 but the price goes down for every three cookies you buy.
Definitely stop by K&F Bakery if you’re ever in Quincy Market! It’s located towards the end near Starbucks.

I’ll keep this one simple.
Good cookies. Big. Get M&M or chocolate chip.
~$ 9 for three.

I immediately noticed this establishment upon waking into Fanueil Hall Marketplace on our first day in Boston. You can’t miss the humongous cookies they have on display. After waking by it on several visits to Fanueil Hall, we finally decided to get a chocolate chip cookie. And it did not disappoint. It was surprisingly warm and even though it was thin, it was only crunchy on the outside, soft & chewy inside. This is the kind of cookie that I like. Looking back, I wish I’d brought some back home with me.
