Instagram Worthy Dishes

Mass Foodies on Instagram

As the wise ones say, “Pics or it didn’t happen.” Check out the most ‘gram-worthy dishes right now in Central Mass.

The Queen’s Cups overfloweth with sparkles and Unicorns. Lest we forget the Gusher Fruit Roll Up Cupcake, or the White Chocolate Pumpkin Cannoli Cupcake, or the Creme Brulee Cupcake complete with an open flame… All we’re saying is have your camera at the ready from the moment you step foot inside this garage-turned-confectionary-kingdom.

Baba Sushi packs a mean platter. For a vibrant punch, order the Ocean’s Heart and a Peacock Maki, both of which live up to their illustrative namesakes. We’ve been told that photographic proof of an egg yolk guarantees ample likes, so be sure to order a round of Baba’s quail egg oyster shooters. They’ll be gone as fast as you can say, “Boomerang.”

If you know anything about food porn, you know toast. BirchTree Bread Company has tried just about every combination imaginable when it comes to toasty toppings. Expect to see slices of the bakery’s Artisan bread sporting the likes of tabouli, duck eggs, vanilla bean cream cheese, Gravlax, warm pineapple chutney, purple kraut, cookie crumbles, coconut curd, and pumpkin cheesecake – just to name a few.

It could be Eamon Gillen’s mesmerizing backdrop on Wooberry’s Instagram feed that makes us want to give our phones a lick, or maybe it’s flavors like ‘Red, White & Bootsy’ made with fresh whole raspberries, Nerds, and Pop Rocks. Whatever the case may be, Wooberry even makes vegan ice cream look good! Plus, their ice cream bike is cute as a button and it’s available for your next event.

Check out the view at Dresser Hill Clam Box where the buns are buttered and the dogs are hot. Sit outside for some seasonable scenery that will spare you a filter, leaving more time for hand-battered and fried finery.

Cool Ice Cream Spots To Cool Down At This Summer in Central Mass

Central Mass loves ice cream. And, whether it’s a sentimental attachment or an innovative scoop that gets you out the door, you’ll find no shortage of delectable frozen treats in these parts.

Meola’s hometown, family-run operation can be found in Leominster or West Boylston. There, you can take your pick from 65 varieties of high quality ice cream and frozen yogurt. This Wayside Ice Cream spot prides itself on helping customers appreciate life’s simple pleasures.

Nothing tops a towering ice cream cone from Still Four Corners in Rutland after a day of floating around Long Pond. Order from the window and find a seat on the open air porch, then head inside to make use of the screen room when the sun goes down.

Wooberry sources its milk and cream from Massachusetts to craft its signature dense and chewy ice cream. With a variety of “mix-in” toppings, vegan varietals, and delivery options, Wooberry is sure to please every palate. You can even bring home a freshly packed pint; try Vegan Banana Chip or Bourbon Peach Bacon.

Everyone is talking about the town of Hudson, Worcester’s artsy annex, so it’s no surprise that New City Microcreamery has craft ice cream down to a science in its scratch kitchen. New City uses liquid nitrogen to freeze their cream at negative 400 degrees. Smaller ice crystals means a smoother mouth full.
