“There is plenty of parking in the lot. Most people don't realize, but there's a little banquet room to the left when you first walk in the building where you can host a baby shower or a birthday. If the owner is at the front, she's a little bit brisk but so sweet and helpful and she knows what she's talking about. They offer pizza by the slice and there's always a wide variety, plenty of cookies, cake pops, cakes, pastries and other desserts. They also offer dinners to go buy one, get one.“
“I haven't even left the parking lot and I'm leaving this review :) That is, by far, the best cake/cupcake I have ever eaten. It's like magic. I have 5 more to get through, but the chocolate ganache has me for life!!! Tamika is amazing, and this is a must stop for foodies and us regular folk alike!“
“Found a gem. My husband had a craving for banana cream pie. He said my job was to find one. So I google top rated banana creams pies in my area. Well this place popped up. Well road trip it was and it was well worth it for sure. Fresh ingredients and certainly delicious. Will be back and I will recommend.“
“Very nice, busy location. Great cookies in interesting flavors. Cookies are soft, not crispy fyi. The location is clean and secure. Limited parking in front of the store and due to location near a congested exit from the shopping plaza, I'd recommend parking in the main parking lot and walking the short distance.“
“Tucked away between the Scantic River at Powder Hollow and the "presidential" neighborhood of Enfield is this family owned shop making their own ice cream on their farm. Something for everyone. Quality product and friendly staff makes this an annual opening weekend, 3 generation tradition as well as throughout the summer.“
“We went for breakfast. Good place to grab a coffee and/or breakfast sandwich. Also, a great place to work from if your local Starbucks is overcrowded. The staff is always super friendly, and the food is fresh and amazing. They have really good pastries too.“
“Very nice Italian cafe place. Window views are beautiful ❤️ Food is super delicious but the portion is not as generous as expected for its price. Coffee was very good. They do have vegetarian options. I went with my friends and the overall atmosphere was very cozy and family friendly. It was crowded on Saturday around 11 am.“
“(Note: This review is for the Albany Ave. location) This won't be a popular review. For decades my family would frequent Scott's Bakery. We loved everything that they offered (hardo bread, beef patty, coco bread, plantain tart and so on). When I said we liked EVERYTHING, I mean it. Everything was on point!! Yesterday was my first time (and last time) going into Scott's in about a decade plus. It is clear that management has changed (if not management, something has gone horribly wrong). The shell of the patty was beyond thick and there was little meat in it. The coco bread was beyond disgusting! It was a flavorless clump of undercooked dough. You know how coco bread is supposed to taste. It didn't taste like that at all. It seems as though they've cut corners on their peanut punch which had a gell-like texture. The BEST part of everything that I purchased was the Cola Champagne. As long as they continue to use the same distributor they can't mess that up. Maybe they had a bad day. I won't be spending money to find out.“
“Nestled on **765 Sullivan Ave in South Windsor, CT**, Birdhouse Coffee isn't just a coffee shop; it's a symphony of flavors, warmth, and community. As I stepped inside, the rich aroma of freshly roasted beans enveloped me, inviting me to stay awhile.The baristas, true artisans, take their time crafting each pour-over. I opted for their signature blend, the **"Morning Song"**, a dance of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe and Colombian beans. With every sip, I tasted dark chocolate, ripe berries, and a hint of floral sweetness—a harmonious composition.But let's dive deeper into the coffee symphony Birdhouse offers:1. **Morning Song**: The star of the show, this blend is a morning ritual. It greets you with a gentle crescendo of flavors, awakening your senses for the day ahead.2. **Sunrise Serenade**: A light roast that sings notes of citrus and jasmine. Perfect for those who prefer a delicate melody in their cup.3. **Velvet Sonata**: A medium-dark roast with undertones of caramel and toasted hazelnuts. It's like a warm embrace on a chilly afternoon.4. **Midnight Rhapsody**: For the night owls, this bold blend boasts dark chocolate, smoky cedar, and a touch of mystery. Pair it with a slice of their decadent chocolate cake.And the pastries deserve a standing ovation. The **blueberry scone**, flaky and buttery, burst with juicy blueberries. Paired with my coffee, it was a delightful duet.But Birdhouse Coffee isn't just about the brew; it's about connections. Locals gather here, sharing stories, laughter, and sometimes a game of chess. It's a haven—a place where caffeine meets camaraderie.The rustic wooden decor, soft jazz, and friendly baristas create an inviting ambiance. Whether you're seeking a morning pick-me-up or an evening refuge, Birdhouse Coffee hits all the right notes.So, if you find yourself in South Windsor, follow the melody to Birdhouse Coffee. It's more than coffee; it's a soulful tune—a reminder that life's best moments happen over a cup of warmth.*Disclaimer: This review reflects my personal experience and taste preferences. Yours may vary, but I hope it's as delightful as mine!“
“"Sweeter than wine Softer than the summer night Everything I want, I have Whenever I hold you tight This magic moment" (The Drifters) Walking into Moneta Moments surely is a magic moment- the sweet aroma of freshly baked goodies is incredible. Veronica and Diane's bakery operates on a "preorder" model, so their cookies, cupcakes, cream puffs, cake pops, scones and cannolis should be preordered by the dozen. Much of their business revolves around absolutely gorgeous made to order customized wedding and special occasion cakes and pies. They have close to thirty different cake flavors across the entire spectrum of yumminess. Here's the scoop on the flavor groups: "Classics" that include Chocolate, Vanilla, Red Velvet, and more. A "Fun & Delicious" line that includes among others Tangy Pink Lemonade, Pineapple Crush, Zesty Limeade, Maple Pancake, and Cinnamon Maple Four "Kids Favorites" of Sweet S'more, Cookie Dough Core, Cotton Candy, and Dreamsicle And some very intriguing booze flavors "For Adults" of Espresso Pubcake (made with Guiness beer), Rum & Coke, Lime Margarita, and Tequila Sunrise. On Friday and Saturday, they may have some cupcakes and cannolis for individual sale, so after a few text messages, I arranged to swing by and get 2 of each. While inside the store, I saw dozens of freshly baked cupcakes awaiting their custom "to order" icings, and two freshly baked stunning special occasion cakes awaiting pickup. We bought two chocolate chip cannolis, a chocolate cupcake, and a vanilla cupcake. We just finished scarfing down the cannolis. They were amazing! The filling wasn't super sweet, the chocolate chips were plentiful, and the shell was crispy and crunchy. A definite A+ of a cannoli. We will exercise some will power and share the cupcakes for tomorrow, but no doubt they will be equally stellar. If you EVER need a special occasion cake or a custom cupcake order, go check out their website, make a visit to Windsor, and say hello to Veronica and Diane, and make a Magic Moment of your own. You will not regret a thing!“
“Cakes are really nice. Service was also good, although thanks to it being close to Christmas I had no desire to even think about getting anything else as the line there is not particularly orderly. I ordered a frosted fruit cake and that came out really well. Parking here is terrible, and it's also at a weird intersection (but not the weirdest intersection in East Longmeadow, a town with terrible intersections).“
“Annie is AMAZING!! My daughter asked for her to make her 10th birthday cake special and SHE DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! IT WAS NOT ONLY BEAUTIFUL BUT DELICIOUS!! thank you thank you thank to so much for giving my daughter the cake she didn't know she wanted!! You truly made her day special! I appreciate you so much for this! Can't wait for another celebration so that we can order again!!“
“Nice little deli/cafe, pretty decent food, good selection, and friendly staff. Even when it's busy they do a great job of getting your order as quick as possible. Great tasting home made soups and plenty of pastries, cookies, and donuts for those who have a sweet tooth to satisfy. Another thing I like is they always have fresh coffee available here too. Thumbs up to Day Hill Deli.“
“I am so happy to have found this bakery! Rebecca has been a part of multiple family celebrations now, including my Son's first birthday party. She is extremely talented - her cakes/cupcakes are beautiful and tasty, and she provides so many flavor and frosting options to choose from. Each time I used her services, I was looking for something very specific and customized. She took the time to understand what I was looking for and delivered it perfectly each time! Rebecca is so accommodating and kind too, and very responsive. Don't let the modest signs fool you - Carlito's is absolutely the best! Highly recommended!Parking: Easy to find parking from the street“
“I went in on March 19 to get some Zeppoles and I got a box of cookies on a whim. I’ve always preferred the sandwich cookies and chocolate covered ones. Usually, from other places or the grocery store, they’re good but dry and hard. The cookies from Guiseppina’s were the softest most flavorful Italian sandwich cookies I’ve never had. They were absolutely delicious. I will be coming back! The zeppoles were fabulous but I have never had Italian sandwich cookies like that. Thank you!“
