“Best gluten free rolls you’ll ever find. These are served in some of the better restaurants around Litchfield country, they are absolutely delicious. They lap have a wide veriety of gf items like waffles, pizza etc. The store front is mostly just a walk in area it’s really just for take out, don’t expect a restaurant. Stock up on outstanding GF breads!“
“I arranged for 2 dozen cupcakes to be delivered to my husband at work on his birthday, as I knew I would be out of town. He texted me, "These are f*cking great!" I'm not sure if there is more to say, really. (his colleagues shared the same sentiments :-) Fabulous cupcakes and so easy to work with.......bravo, Curvy's! We are definitely fans!“
“First time getting a cake from Varano Bakery being new to the Bethel area and super impressed!!! We spoke with Theresa about our options for my sons birthday cake, she was extremely helpful via email and then in person when ordering. We gave a photo of what we wanted for our dinosaur theme cake for a 2nd bday party and it was executed perfectly. I was thrilled how great it came out! The cake was white cake, cannoli filling with chocolate buttercream. Everyone was very impressed with the cake appearance but also raved about the cake taste once served. We definitely found our new spot for cakes!! All around 10/10. The gentleman that helped package up our cake at pick up was extremely thoughtful in helping make the ride home with the cake as easy as possible to keep it safe during travels. And the young boy behind the counter helped carry it out to my car. Very thoughtful and the extra customer service is something that will bring us back to support this business .“
“This is a very tiny shop, but they have seating outside for the warmer weather. Ovens Of France is the best bakery outside of those one might find in Greenwich, CT. I live in Guilford, and it's worth the trip to Woodbury to buy their products. Try the chocolate mousse cake. It's the absolute best. I buy one and freeze slices, it lasts for months. The eclaires don't have overly sweet pudding in the center but a rich cream. The croissants are like nothing you'll ever find elsewhere. They open early, like 6am, for early birds.Parking: They are in a shopping center. The parking is always plentiful and close.“
“Wonderful little pastry and bakery shop. The place might be small but gosh! The quality is really high. I walked away with the Tres Leches (3 milk) cake and their Coconut cream tart as well as a slice of pound cake to snack on. My friend had the same coconut cream tart and ordered a bunch of their cookies - neither of us were complaining. I practically inhaled my tres leches cake. The owner is friendly as well. When I asked her which 3 milks did she use for her tres leches cake, I asked because the recipe I use has coconut milk. She said that she can't use coconut milk because "this is Connecticut" which I'm guessing means that even something as bland as coconut milk is probably too exotic for Connecticut WASPs. Still I hope this place sticks around because her offerings are wonderful and Woodbury needs some a dose of exoticness.“
“Our first visit to crumbles in Danberry, nobody greeted us when we walked in, and the guy that came up to us from Service did not help us at all didn’t explain the process to us nothing. We did, however get a lot of help from a young girl, who was a customer. With that being said, the cookies are phenomenal, hands-down the best I’ve ever had. I also don’t particularly ever like icing, and their icing is delicious and fresh. I just placed our second order to be delivered. It was here in 15 minutes. Crazy love this place.“
“Thank you, Susan K. for the detailed, well researched review that finally got me to El Cisne! This bakery / cafe is so charming and, especially when you catch one of the many, many varieties of filled / topped bread rolls emerging fresh from the oven, quite delicious. Most of the breads in the case are made with something similar to brioche -- slightly sweet with a brioche-like rise -- and filled with an astonishing variety of fillings: Bavarian cream; ham and cheese; pineapple, ham and cheese; chocolate; and strawberry jam..... and that covers only about a quarter of the varieties on offer, probably! There was also a fabulous cheese-topped flat bread, soft, probably not leavened (possibly llapingachos?); semicircular, bready "empanada" rolls with various fillings -- baked, not fried; and a denser pan de yuca with cheese in the center. The cheese used in all of these breads was white, salty, and crumbled into small grains -- queso fresco or queso Ecuatoriano perhaps? If I am perfectly honest, I wasn't head-over-heels in love with the room temperature brioche-like rolls from the case, even after re-toasting at home. They're enjoyable, similar to what you might find sold as brioche or challah in the bakery section of a grocery chain -- but probably not baked day-of. On the other hand, a fresh-out-of-the-oven-hot roll filled with pineapple (in the form of a lovely more-sour-than-sweet goop), cheese, and ham (SPAM-like in consistency) was quite fetching, the outside flakey and crisp like a good croissant, the innards scalding hot when we made the first attempt to eat it in the car on the way home. I am not sure whether it was made with the same kind of brioche-y bread as the others or not... could the textural differences between a fresh-out-of-the-oven product and a room temperature one could be so profound? Clearly, this one needs additional taste testing! The pan de yuca was the star of the show for me, with a wonderfully light, yet substantial texture, possibly incorporating fresh, mashed yuca and not just yuca / cassava flour. (I found a tiny bit of yucca fiber in my roll much to my excitement!) It is similar to pao de queijo, which is made with tapioca flour, the starchy derivative of cassava, but without the more mochi-like chew that I associate with pao de queijo. I love that everything is so clearly house made al El Cisne, and when fresh products roll out of the kitchen. I'm not much of a sweets person, but those glossy cakes in the display look like they're worth a try. Not sure if we'll be able to wait until the next birthday for those.... :) Great tip, Susan K.! I'm so glad to add this place to our repertoire.“
“Amazing! The customer service was exceptional and I was treated very kindly. The staff was very friendly and I got my food very quickly. The food was very good and filling, exactly what I wanted. Would definitely recommend, will be back again!“
“Amazing shopping experience Okay, I am not from Connecticut. Passing through, and are you kidding me!!!! Spent an hour just strolling the place. Makes we wish I lived in Connecticut. JK!!! Cali all the way!! It's like a theme park grocery store. EVERYONE was friendly at Stewarts, and that goes a long way with me. Don't know if I will ever be in DANBURY CONNECTICUT again. But if I am, I am going to Stew Leanorfs“
“I happened upon this bakery while I was at the Sunday Fairfield Farmer's Market. I was lucky enough to order a strawberry rhubarb muffin! It was sooo delicious. This weekend I made a special trip and tried the blueberry muffin. Really delicious! Can't wait to more of their offerings.“
“They are so kind and friendly here. I was warmly welcomed this morning when I went in to buy some snacks and goodies just because. I picked an item that I thought was the last item and the gentleman that was helping me was "oh I'll have to bring out some more." My response was if you have another one I'll gladly take it and they made another one for me on the fly. I was super appreciative and my fiance definitely approved. Thank you again for the kindness and the delicious goodies I'm happy to enjoy. You've made it such a welcoming environment.“
“I have been going to this place since they opened. Love the small café atmosphere, and the very friendly owners. They take pride in the details of what they make and serve to their customers. They use the finest ingredients, and add unique flavors and artistic details to their desserts. They look like a work of art, and are so delicious. I have placed special orders with them for the holidays , and they have been a big hit too. I appreciate how much they care, and the attention they give to everything they made. And their churros are the best! Plus they Plain Churros are Vegan.Vegetarian options: They Plain Churros are Vegan !Dietary restrictions: They have a big variety of Gluten-free flavors desserts !Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly staff !Wheelchair accessibility: Yes,“
“I regularly go here. Their items are amazing. Great friendly staff. Over the years I've bought birthday cakes, muffins, pastries, and all types of breads and rolls including stuffed bread.This is my local bakery. Very close to home. The Italian bread is a regular for us. By it fresh from the oven, unsliced. Mmmm.“
“Everyone needs Uncle Matt's bakery! Quality, freshly baked goods. No matter what I get, I have to add a biscuit every time I'm here. The only thing that keeps it from 5 stars is... its a little dirty/dusty/sticky feeling inside. I hope the kitchen is much cleaner than the customer area...but if it wasn't I can't say that'll stop me from frequenting this place haha. Also, the staff overall are friendly.“
