Elmwood Pastry Shop Inc. offers a delightful dining experience with a variety of delicious breakfast sandwiches that are well-priced and come on different types of bread. The staff is friendly, and customers have praised the pastries, donuts, scones, and danishes for their flavors, moistness, and generous portions. Recent visitors have enjoyed cake pops, cinnamon buns, and cookies, highlighting the freshness of the baked goods. The grilled scone - bacon, egg n cheese sandwich is also a popular choice. Customers recommend calling ahead for large orders, especially for the delicious donuts, which have been a hit at meetings. However, some have mentioned that the coffee could be improved, as better coffee would attract more customers to this charming spot.
The bakery has been a local landmark in the Elmwood section of West Hartford for many years. The pastry chef beautifully designs their cakes and pastries, which many find to be to die for. The shop also offers great coffee, making it a good place for conversations. Recently, the bakery was sold, and some visitors have noticed that on a few occasions, the donuts were stale, likely baked the day or evening before. Despite the drop in quality, the prices have increased significantly, with a dozen donuts now costing $18 instead of $12. The shop often has trouble fitting larger boxes for donuts, causing them to be squished into smaller boxes. As some reviews mention, everything has become far too sweet and over-glazed.
Previously, the bakery was known for its delicious and reasonably priced goods, with specific sandwiches of the day and wonderful holiday options. Despite recent changes, it remains a place where customers can enjoy a variety of baked treats and sandwiches.
