“Annie was very friendly and patient, happy to explain any questions I had. She helped me choose a size and design, and was knowledgeable in all things cake! I really appreciated her patience and follow through. She made sure to write out the full request and triple check! Before beginning the cake. It was delicious!!! I got three different flavors, all were perfectly moist and flavorful! My guests enjoyed the cake as well, and our birthday girl thought it was beautiful (it totally was!) Thank you so much Annie!“

“The service is incredible, Madison helped me understand all the allergies and recommended some cookies for me to try, while doing all of this it looked like she was alone but didn't rush me and let me take the time I needed. After I ordered and she went to get my cookies it looked like she was doing everything behind the counter at once and it looked fantastic. Will come back again“

“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!“

“You need to go back to making your pizzas and keeping them replenished the way it use to be. The new way of serving yourself is for the birds. You never have a variety and everyone’s hands are all over the utensils, disgusting! The single pizza boxes are flimsy. Everyone at that counter is always complaining about it.“

“Excellent breakfast sandwiches and pastries. Love this spot.“

“Discovered this breakfast place w my friend @joesanchez - food was great and ambience was quaint.“

“This place is great! The owner is very friendly & the coffees & baked goods are extraordinary. I was on a 1st date so the laid back casual atmosphere was perfect. We sat on the couch with our cappuccinos listening to soft music...we'll be back for our 1 yr anniversary in 2 weeks!“

“On January 28, 2026, around 4:38 PM, I had a wonderful experience with both the staff and the service. The gentleman assisting me was attentive, professional, and clearly took pride in keeping his workspace organized and running smoothly. The Cinnabon was fresh, warm, and exactly what I needed for a perfect snack. Overall, it was a very pleasant visit.

All reviews reflect my individual customer experience, including interactions with staff and overall service.“

“It feels like being home. Cozy and welcoming. The coffee and food is out of this world delicious.“

“This place is a gem! You don’t need to be vegetarian to LOVE the food here. I am soooo glad I discovered it.“

“Hello All. I was on a mission. My wife had a taste for a pound cake, but not just any pound cake. She wanted a pound cake that tasted like her mom used to make. Well, it took some time to scan the internet and read some of the comments at other bakeries and I found myself very disappointed. As I was about to give up, I found Perfect Poundcakes. I read the comments from their customers and I thought I would give them a try. I placed my order online. When I picked up my poundcake I was greeted by a friendly staff that took extreme pride in their product. When I arrived home, my wife instantly recognized the aroma that brought her back to some wonderful memories of her mom. Going forward Perfect Poundcakes will be a part of our family events. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!“

“Bought some bread at the Coventry Farmer’s Market today and had it with dinner - it was DELICIOUS!“

“We had a wonderful experience with Chimirri’s for my daughter’s birthday cake! Lorena was outstanding—her communication was clear, warm, and helpful throughout the process. This was my first time ordering a custom cake, and she was so patient and informative, guiding me every step of the way and making me feel completely at ease. I had created an inspiration image using ChatGPT and asked if she could make a cake that looked similar. Not only did she recreate it perfectly, but the final cake looked even better than the image I shared! It was truly stunning and exceeded all expectations. On top of being absolutely beautiful, the cake was delicious! I will definitely be using Chimirri’s again for future special events and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional quality, artistry, and service.“

“Will definitely use for any get togethers when I need to bring something - I generally get from Big Y (at a very decent price!). But am SOOO interested in some of the other varieties including another customer who suggested Strawberry Creme Pie and now I want one too! Saw a Boston Creme in the photos - I'm in pie heaven. LOVE the pies I've had already! (tried Lemon Meringue, Peanut Butter and I think the first I had was a chocolate creme?)“

“AMAZING. I saw a cake BBC made for a friend’s party, and it was so incredible and so delicious that I ordered the cake for my husband’s toga-themed birthday party from here. When the owner asked what I wanted, I told her to use her own creation, and I’m so glad I did. The cake was a true masterpiece with fig leaves, columns, frosting made to look like stone, and she even put his name on a plaque. It was a feast for the eyes, and all of our guests oohed and ahhed when they saw it. And it was DELICIOUS. I never saw a cake get devoured so quickly. There wasn’t a crumb left. This place will be our go-to for all of our occasions from now on. Simply amazing.“

“Ari and her crew put together an amazing today after wedding brunch for 80! Bagels, spreads, salads, pasta! Everyone loved it and all the leftovers went home with friends and family. Thanks!“

“I absolutely love it here, I asked them to create a cake for my son’s birthday & the baker exceeded my expectations. Not only did the cake look amazing but it tasted SO good! I had no idea they sold breakfast sandwiches as well, which was also great!“

“The Donut Station has the best donuts and coffee, iced or hot, in town! (and the surrounding areas)The breakfast sandwiches are delicious, the staff are all super friendly, the service is quick and efficient and the shop is always clean. I give then a 10 out of 10! Well done Donut Station, well done!“

“Amazing bakery! Ordered a smash cake for my little ones first birthday party. Cake was bigger than expected and the taste was amazing. The decorations matched the theme perfectly! Looking forward to ordering more in the future for our events!“

“I love all of their items but we ordered our first cake there (chocolate PB). Outstanding.“

“Harpo’s Bakery, is an unassuming little bakery in South Glastonbury. The woman behind the counter, assuming the owner (she’s always there), is so very sweet. This morning I ordered a sausage/egg/cheese on a croissant and a Boston Cream donut for my wife. Not only was I a hero when I came home because the donut was so good, the breakfast sandwich was one of the best that I have ever had! Kudos to you Harpo’s for making our little town proud and for such a delicious breakfast!!“

“I have been going to Taste By Spellbound for years and followed them from Buckland Hills to the now South Windsor location. I have never been disappointed, the coffee is the best in the world, (and I've traveled the world) and the whiskey bars are to die for. I always buy them up whenever I'm lucky enough to get them. The staff is always incredibly polite and helpful and always makes me feel welcome. Everything from the employees to the pastries to the environment as a whole is one of a kind. I have sent many friends and clients to Taste by Spellbound over the years and everyone that I sent there has high praise. I love this place and look forward to visiting every week. I'd give this place and the employees a straight 10 if I could. Great job, all.“

“its fresh it's so French and it's not starbucks. I love it God bless them“

“This is a wonderful Bakery! I did a chocolate cake for my Parents, and the cake was absolutely beautiful as well as delicious! 😊 We go here a couple times a year and it never disappoints!“

“Poppy seed roll was excellent, just like my mom made.“

“(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.“

“Today was my first time going to LuAnns Bakery in Downtown Hartford and yes I love their Lavender Honey Latte the people are very sweet and welcoming the atmosphere is coragus will be going back soon“

“I love supporting local businesses and this place is a gem! Not only is the staff so nice but the quality of the bread is amazing! I will come back time and time again! And their breakfast sandwiches 10 out of 10! Can’t wait to try more of their items I highly recommend!!“
