She was so great to work with and provided some great recommendations throughout the process and we ended up with the coolest cake with a hotwheels theme and matching cupcakes. The best part-hands down one of the tastiest cakes we have ever had. Highly recommend the lemon cake with lemon curd-SO delicious. Thank you so much Danielle!!!“

“Alyssa’s Cakery absolutely knocked it out of the park! They created the most incredible gluten and dairy-free wedding cake for us, and it truly exceeded every expectation we had. The flavor was unreal - rich, moist, and absolutely delicious. You would never know it was allergen-friendly. Every guest who tried it was blown away. The presentation was perfection. The cake was beyond anything we could have imagined for our wedding day… elegant, beautifully detailed, and crafted with so much care. It looked like something out of a magazine. From start to finish, Alyssa’s Cakery delivered quality, artistry, and heart. We couldn’t be more grateful and will be recommending them to everyone we know!“

“Can't stop buying these while I'm a parent of a patient staying at Children's hospital in Hartford! So delicious, I can survive on these especially with the amount of protien I'm each cookie. A great treat while breastfeeding my little one. Thank you for stocking these up quickly. My only suggestion is to do protien brownies!“

“Cupcakes are very good. Not too much topping and cake is moist. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend!“

“Incredible coffee and pastries!“

“I had my first Amazing Ackee experience years ago at the Ellington Farmer’s Market, and I’m still enjoying alllll their offerings today. What can I say about all the great food?? Well, I’ve never not liked anything, and I thoroughly enjoy anything I’ve eaten. I love to stock up on the patties especially. As a busy vegetarian, they’re a great way to have a satisfying, healthy, quick meal any day. Beautiful people, beautiful food! In fact, I’m going to stock up again soon. Highly recommend you try them out!“

“Jenn was super responsive and accommodating for ordering, packaging, and delivering! Everything we ordered was fresh, delicious, and very reasonably priced! The Cinnamon star bread is not only my new favorite treat but it was beautiful! We will definitely be ordering again and again!“

“I ordered 10 dozen of the mini cupcakes in 10 different flavors for a graduation. The cupcakes were ridiculously delicious. Everyone loved them. Every single flavor was excellent. (And yes I tried all 10😂) The delivery was perfect. They even got here a little bit early. They answered all my questions before and were great to deal with. I will definitely be using them for my next party.“

“Great food authentic and the service is even better my wife and I go there for some of the things that remind her of home Mexico that is so if you're looking for great food stop in and check out there selections also great breads all different kinds great with that morning coffee“

“Elizabeth's Bakery now has some GF items. Today I tried their GF blueberry muffin & brownie. The muffin is amazing! It didn't taste GF at all. Lots of blueberries, not overly sweet like some GF baked goods; great texture -not gummy at all; and a wonderfully big muffin like it's gluten containing counterpart. The brownie is soooo fudge! It is not gummy at all. Tastes just like a gluten containing brownie (well at least what I remember them tasting like). These are so much better than any GF brownie mix & better than any recipe I have made at home. It's been years since I have been able to purchase a great tasting GF item at a bakery. Thanks Elizabeth's Bakery for including a few GF items on your menu.“

“I got this cake for my daughter’s birthday, and it was a showstopper! The guests couldn’t stop raving about it, many even asked where I got it. The pineapple and coconut frosting perfectly creamy, and the texture was spot-on. It was a hit with everyone and made the celebration even more special! absolutely unforgettable!“

“me and Melba will be back, it's great“

“Amazing cakes and pastries! I absolutely love the chocolate chip cannoli. I think it’s my favorite dessert. My husband loves the chocolate mousse pastries and the Italian rum birthday cake. They have a small number of indoor tables and a few outdoor tables. We’ve never had a problem finding a seat if we want to eat there though. The gelato is also very good. There is a $10 minimum for credit card purchases but two desserts will typically put the bill just over $10.“

“I ordered a lemon-flavored birthday cake with buttercream frosting. The cake was made with the freshest of ingredients, was moist, and was absolutely DELICIOUS!!! Everyone commented on how flavorful the cake was, but the artistic talent of the baker/decorator took centerstage!!! The cake was so beautiful, we didn’t want to cut into it!!! If you decide to order a cake from Sweet Harmony you will not be disappointed!!!“

“The place has been there forever, and the recipe has been unchanged. As they say...."same as it always was." My Dad and Grandfather went there and always said "best around". Now I'm happy to say friends have taken the business over and continue the tradition. True old fashioned kielbasa and other meat products that are sure to satisfy.“

“This was the best creme filled donut I have ever had. Goodbye dunkin!“

“Always delicious and the staff is so nice! A ++“

“I don’t usually write reviews, but I stopped in on Monday afternoon to order some cookies for a baby shower and pick up a few other treats. I was a bit overwhelmed by all the choices, sarah helped me, and she was absolutely wonderful, so pleasant, patient, and full of energy. She made the whole experience much easier for me. The pastries themselves were fine, though nothing exceptional, but I would gladly return just for the excellent customer service. It’s rare to find someone so kind and attentive these days.“
