“ventured out to try some of the stephen king specials and they did not disappoint! plus, the staff was absolutely amazing. when i asked for no cold foam she asked if i would prefer a DF option which was SO thoughtful. most cafe’s refuse to make a non-dairy cold foam when asked, and she offered it without hesitation. the baked goods were absolutely delicious, i wish we could’ve had them all!“

“We are so happy we went with The Sweet Baker for my son’s 5th birthday cake and cupcakes!! 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!!!“

“Wow! If you love sour dough bread you have to see the ones at this bakery. They look amazing!!! I make my own sour dough but next week I will skip making it and pick up one of theirs. I purchased a latte and a piece of sourdough coffee cake… delish!“

“Owner is very nice, protein cookies are the best I've ever had. Honestly, they'd be good for a regular cookie, you completely forget they're protein they're so good, and that means a lot because I've tried quest, foodies, my cookie dealer, and redcon brand protein cookies and they all pale in comparison in my opinion.“

“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!“

“I have nothing but good things to say about Confections by Betsy. Professional and great service & you get exactly what you order! I will be ordering from her again! ❤️“

“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!“

“Incredible coffee and pastries!“

“Milani's did cookie boxes for my daughter's communion. Such beautiful presentations.“

“Whole Heart Kitchen is our go to for local homemade baked goods. Everything from breads to cakes and all of the sweet treats in between have been 10/10 delicious. Jenn is friendly and accomodating, I highly recommend checking out all of the options on her website!“

“Visited Sue Stones. Did you know she was often voted Connecticut's Cake Lady? Saw so many examples of exquisite and imaginative cake designs created for display that are truly ingenious and often based on the clients most treasured experiences. She created my own wedding cake for my first wedding and it went on to win awards for that design as well. For those who are Cinderella or Elizabethan devotees, her created castles far outweigh those found in your favorite fairy tales.“

“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“

“My girlfriend and I are bakery fanatics and haven’t found one in the area that we really like, until today! Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing and the pastry’s are to die for! And the prices are unbeatable. Definitely our new regular breakfast spot!!!!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Cupcakes are yummy! Incredible flavors offered, huge. My favorites are the chocolate with vanilla frosting or with oreo frosting, which I especially love for breakfast with my yogurt, green tea, and cranberry juice. And, this bakery is open seven days a week.

Friendly and efficient service.

And they make pumpkin peanutbutter dog biscuits!!! How awesome!“

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

“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!!!“

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

“Absolutely out of this world donuts and coffee!!!!“

“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.“
