“When I moved to New York, this was my favorite bakery. After moving back to Boston, I've missed this place dearly. I couldn't believe I found this bakery inside Foxwoods. Most of the staff were friendly and the variety of pastries were abundant for a small store. It had everything you expect to see at a Chinese bakery. Totally recommend if you need a quick snack or a pick me up.“
“My family usually like the Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Nuggets. It’s usually warm, soft and great tasting. But the one we bought recently, was hard, chewy and didn’t taste fresh at all. We were disappointed. Churros are delish. Milkshakes are yummy and refreshing. Great customer service. Needs quality consistency.“

“If you like New York bagels- or bagels in general- you’ll love this place. I absolutely love the food- all of it. Especially an everything bagel with special w/ sprouts and their scallion cream cheese. I also LOVE a small biz and a family run biz. It’s so sweet to see the kids hanging out and helping and reminds me of my own family in the best way ???✨Vegetarian options: I don’t think they have vegan cream cheese but there is plenty here for vegetarians in my professional nutritionist opinion!!Dietary restrictions: GF options on the menus (not bagels)“

“Can only comment on a few items... Buttery smooth lattes with the Canyon Coffee they use. Great Chicken Salad sandwich! Really good Rotisserie Chicken and sides. Drip coffee is really good too. Egg sandwich is a tad bland, but solid. Staff is always really friendly.“

“Today my friend and I spent many hours at the bakery. It’s was a heartwarming experience for both of us since we both are parents to children with special needs. As parents I think it’s normal for us to worry about the future of our children, today we got a peek of the opportunities that are out there and it was beautiful! Thank you for showing us that there are people who love and care for those who may need a little help or guidance outside of their families. Not only way it a friendly environment but the food and coffee is amazing and I would recommend La Stella’s to anyone!!“

“Some boutique business owners think their way of doing things are the best. Even when given constructive criticism, they don't budge... not even... we will look into it... and never do...you don't have to but acknowledging that possibly the input provided was worthy of investigation is probably the right thing..not self righteous talking over the person calling in and basically not listening or even pretending to listen. Some of your clients may not be complaining but would if they thought they could. Offering money back is nice...good job there. Everything else I ever purchased there was very good. I expect that 1 dessert type item at restaurant prices would be delicious...not dry, tasteless, and nothing like the name it was sold as...call it a dry bread roll with a sprinkling of cinnamon and icing to make it edible ... your comment that 1 other person complained that it wasn't like "Cinnabon" just shows your sense of superiority. I never expected it to be like that product, I expected it to be better.“

“When we decided to take a day trip to Mystic, Connecticut, I asked my Insta friend @mysticlocal for recommendations. Top of his list for breakfast was Sift Bakery, and rightly so. Gorgeous French pastries that taste as good as they look, and a beautiful interior.It was tough to choose, but eventually I picked this exquisite orange pistachio pastry. Pistachio financier with pistachio ganache, orange vanilla pastry cream and pistachio Bavarian. Heavenly ??This great pastry shop is the perfect way to start your day in Mystic. (You'll be walking a lot, so you'll probably burn off the calories ?)“

“Friendly staff, helpful with menu questions.Great parking availablity.Had a Doppio Con pana, while they weren't sure how to make it, they had no problem asking, and executing perfectly ( it's just a fancy way to say 2 shots w whip cream).Had the Basic grilled cheese, was veeeerrrry good. Big, crispy, gooey delicious-ness that is served with just enough tomato bisque to dip and enjoy. The atmosphere is nice, some people were there working on their laptops, others meeting friends for lunch. The desserts looked abs decadent, I'm looking forward to going back and trying the baklava. Recommend,vand I look forward to going back ?“

“A really lovely place owned and operated by really lovely people. Our breakfast sandwich was delicious and we had a great chat with the father and son team who owns the bakery. The ciabatta for our sandwich (made in house) was noticeably leveled up. This is exactly the kind of gem you’d hope to find while exploring a new place - just wish we had found it sooner so that we could have returned! We’ll be back ?“
“I've always made my own birthday cake. I don't trust other people, because usually I end up with a gritty, overly sugary cake OR something fully dark chocolate and WAY too bitterAnna makes her cakes somewhere in between, which is absolutely amazing! She's also the best decorator I know!I used to make a big deal about baking my own cake every year... until I tried Grounded Baking's cakes!!My birthday is in October, so I tend to go for a gothic/Halloween themed cake and she ALWAYS gives me something fun and SO beautiful I don't even want to cut it up lmao!!I always order a red velvet, chocolate ganache cake and I CANNOT RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH. I'm VERY particular about the cakes I eat, and it's especially hard to find a good ganache cake, but hers are SO good! She's the ONLY person I've actually paid to make my own cake in my almost 30 years!Up until I found her bakery, I actually COMPLETELY REFUSED to order a cake from a bakery! Now I can't get enough!!I ordered a cake from her 2 birthdays ago (so this will be the third birthday since my first order) and I STILL regret not reaching out to her for my cake last year! I have to search for pictures of the first cake, I'll post them if I find themThis year, though, I couldn't even wait for my birthday and ordered a SECOND cake early on my own lol!!This time, she gave me a black frosted cake with SUPER glittery sprinkle decorations! It reminds me of dragon or mermaid scales! Last time it was a black frosted cake with red and white chocolate skulls on the top! And I'm SO EXCITED to see this years' birthday cake! I tend to give her a good amount of room to be flexible and creative in her own right, but it's ALWAYS a goth/Halloween themeAND IT'S SO HEAVY, TOO LOL!! I should have weighed the cake before I cut into it because it's crazy heavy from the ganache lol I'd say it weighs around 10 pounds or so, if I had to guessI literally cannot recommend ordering from Grounded Baking's products enough!!! It's the ONLY bakery I'm willing to recommend at all - they're my go to for every occasion!!!Thank you again, Anna!!!BTW: the pictures attached are of the glittery cake I bought BEFORE my birthday this year - I'll post pictures of my birthday cake in a few weeks as well as update this if I find the pictures from my last cake!!“

“My husband and I went to eat for the first time and the experience was great. The food was incredibly seasoned and the service was excellent. The bartender and waiter Angel was very knowledgeable in the food of his country. I recommend the restaurant for its excellent food and service.“

“I have only ate their food once but OMG the bakery items are amazing. Before you even walk in you can see the great selection. Same price as DD. To be honest with you I don't know if you've noticed but everything at DD is shrinking. Been here many times will keep coming back.“

“I have been getting their chicken salad wrap for over 6 years now. My family and I traveled from FL and made sure to stop here. It's definitely my favorite lunch spot in the entire area. They have the most delicious cinnamon sticks (kind of like a cinnamon bun). It's cozy and they accommodate food for children. My son loved getting a giant cheese tortilla they made for him growing up. The service is spectacular.“

“We went to zest the other day. As soon as we walked in the lady behind the counter greeted us. With a smile and hello. Her name was Laura. We had a cappuccino which was excellent. Also, a scone which was very good. We will go back when we are in the area.“

“Gabriella was great to work with for our wedding in August 2023! We visited the bakery to pick up a sampling of cakes/fillings/frostings and everything was delicious. We chose our options and emailed her and she confirmed right away. We ordered a small two-tier cake for us and a small one-tier cake for my parents, whose 50th anniversary was a week after our wedding. Both cakes were delivered on time and looked beautiful, and were exactly what we were hoping for! I'd recommend this bakery to anyone planning a wedding in the area!“

“Unbelievably fantastic brunch! We went here today to celebrate my daughter's birthday, and everything about the brunch was amazing. The pastries, the doughnuts, the desserts!! The seating area is beautiful and is warm. Service was great. Well worth the money and a great way to celebrate any occasion or treat yourself.“

“kind and speedy staff both at the drive thru and walk-in, fat boy with ketchup is awesome! iced cappuccino had a bit of a weird taste of a flavored sweetener in the drink but when i ordered they did say it already had sweetener in it, so it was really good for what it was!“

“Grabbed some cinnamon rolls while I was at the casino and was not disappointed! I will say that four is WAY too many for one person, but it was a birthday treat. Was in and out quickly and they even provided me an extra cup of frosting.I only wish they were more in the casino rather than Tanger as it's quite a walk from where we were to get there and the stall that used to sell them on the other end of the mall area was closed down, likely due to low traffic in that area.“
