“I was having a party for my son and a guest was gluten and dairy free and wanted her to have something special too! I had seen this bakery on Facebook and live 5 mins away so it seemed a perfect opportunity to try. I purchased a chocolate zuchinni cake for the little girl and while there I grabbed an Oreo tres leche cake for myself. LET ME TELL YOUUUUUUU!!! That Oreo cake was OUT OF THIS WORLD! I will absolutely be back for treats here and will recommend them to anyone looking for something sweet, whether gluten free or not. Seriously, get here.”

“I recently tried the chicken parm grinder at Mad River Creamery & Deli, and it was a really solid choice. The chicken cutlet was nicely breaded, tender, and held up well under the sauce. The marinara was flavorful — tangy with a hint of sweetness — and there was a generous amount of melted cheese that pulled everything together. The bread was fresh and hearty with a nice toasted soft crunch to it , the kind of roll that didn’t get soggy after a few bites, which made the sandwich feel substantial but balanced. I liked that there was a good ratio of chicken to sauce to bread. Service was friendly and efficient, owner welcomed us and provided free ice cream samples as we waited for our grinders ( husband got the steak and cheese for his 3rd time ) being a deli, the portion felt more like a meal than a quick snack. The atmosphere at Mad River Creamery & Deli is welcoming — cozy and laid-back, perfect for grabbing a bit with a friend (or after getting some ice cream). Already know what I want when I return . Thanks again !”

I like that they gave different seasonings for the popcorn too. The Dippin dots were fresh and didn’t have like freezer burn like the packs you get at the vending machines. Loved that they had a variety of other options as well for shakes and stuff! Fun place on a whim! We went on the 4th of July and it was quiet (which I love). We’ll be back”

The service is great, the food comes out quick and fresh, the flavors are top notch and very authentic for South Texas/ Northern Mexico. We've been twice and we're excited that we've found actual Mexican cuisine up here. Who would have thought Wallingford would have such a gem! Wallingford is for Foodies I'm quickly finding out.”

“The frozen yogurt was good, though it was a bit more frozen and firm than other places I have been to. The store was very clean and nothing gross stood out. The service was average overall, but they were ready and when it came time to check out. The best part of the shop was definitely the atmosphere and decor. It is the nicest looking frozen yogurt place I have been to. Prices were about average compared to other frozen yogurt shops. Overall, it is a solid spot I would visit again.”
