I was pleased with the warm welcome, the warmth vibe, i didn't feel rushed like i have others i been to lately. This was my 1st visit, a added plus . Will be back again when in the area.“

“5/5 on taste and looks this was really good!!! Things that I think can improve would be adding drinks like a milk choice. I think having food products you need drinks. And also the forks are really cheap and when the cakes are cold the fork given bends. I think this can be changed and doesn't change that the taste is amazing“

“I haven't even left the parking lot and I'm leaving this review :) That is, by far, the best cake/cupcake I have ever eaten. It's like magic. I have 5 more to get through, but the chocolate ganache has me for life!!! Tamika is amazing, and this is a must stop for foodies and us regular folk alike!“

“Found a gem. My husband had a craving for banana cream pie. He said my job was to find one. So I google top rated banana creams pies in my area. Well this place popped up. Well road trip it was and it was well worth it for sure. Fresh ingredients and certainly delicious. Will be back and I will recommend.“

“I’m absolutely enamored with this bakery! The momentum season is absolutely amazing! Since I’ve purchased this, it has been my go to seasoning. It’s truly flavorful. I’ve been putting it on meats, stews, veggies and even fruits lol and it has elevated every dish! Also, the Jamaican meals, pastries and sandwiches are always fresh and bursting with vibrant ingredients. A true culinary gem and my absolute go to spot for breakfast and lunch!!“

“Very nice, busy location. Great cookies in interesting flavors. Cookies are soft, not crispy fyi. The location is clean and secure. Limited parking in front of the store and due to location near a congested exit from the shopping plaza, I'd recommend parking in the main parking lot and walking the short distance.“

“I recently enjoyed an exceptional dining experience at Aurora’s restaurant, where I had one of the best vegetable omelettes ever. The omelette, filled with fresh, and seasoned to perfection, offered a symphony of flavors and textures that stood out remarkably. The cozy ambiance and the attentive service enhanced the meal, making it not just delicious but also genuinely pleasant. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for expertly crafted breakfast dishes, especially their unforgettable vegetable omelette.“

Our cake was phenomenal!! not only was it gorgeous and EXACTLY as we wanted..it was so delicious. the process was super easy and painless which is what every bride needs...everyone was extremely friendly. thank you so much!!!! highly recommended!!!“

“So, so good! I took a trip up to Brown Butter Creations after reading an article in Connecticut Magazine. It was definitely worth the trip! I'm normally not a whoopie pie fan, but their pumpkin woopie pie cake and filling was the best I've ever tasted. Everything I bought was super yummy, and you really can taste the brown butter difference. They have scone specials on Saturdays, so check their Facebook page. If you can't get there early, you can call your order in and they'll have it ready for you. Super friendly service. Wheelchair and walker accessible from the parking lot. Looking forward to my next visit!Wheelchair accessibility: No threshold or barriers between the parking lot and the sidewalk. Easy entry into the bakery. Did not see handicap spaces right in front of the bakery but there was plenty of parking out front.“

“Kevin and his team create beautiful food here. Worth the wait, walk, drive or whatever mode you prefer to get here and visit the Gastropark to try their hand created bakery items. The sourdough is unmatched. The cinnamon rolls will change your outlook on life. Kevin is an absolute gem and a wonderful addition to this community.“

“The quintessential Little Poland market. Baked goods, hot prepared food (I like bigos/hunters stew) and chicken with mushrooms. There is a bread with poppyseeds that I get too. It's always a part of the holidays for our Polish- Filipino family. You won't regret shopping at Roly Poly.“

“Oh. My. Goodness! The Pumpkin Brulee cheese cake (brulee'd to order I might add....and that smell was just HEAVEN) was amazing. It was super flavorful and creamy without being heavy. The brulee crunch added another layer of delicious. And it even LOOKS beautiful. This will FOR SURE be a go to treat. You've GOT to try it.The strawberry celebration cake was moist and tender and my darn kids refused to share any with me other than one bite. But WHAT A BITE! Craveable!“

“Great little breakfast/brunch/lunch/bakery place for food along the Main Street.Everyone was very friendly service was fast and prompt. All of their food is made there fresh. The menu has a wide selection of some pretty unique items.The breakfast French toast casseroles were awesome! Very filling and flavorful.The place is small for seating, each table fits two with two chairs, but you can combine tables.Coffee was good and prices were fair.I also saw they have a wide variety of pastries.Parking: Parking is around the back of the store and is free.“

“I'm a coffee snob who prefers making their own coffee at home. If I want coffee to-go, I always come here. It's the best place for miles and the staff are very personable.The food is good too for a sandwich or pastry. I love the rotating seasonal coffee menu they create, especially the frozen coffee "slushie" in the summer.Highly recommended.“

“First and foremost the smell just takes you away when step foot inside ! This already has you tasting it in the air ! The staff was incredible and didn’t miss a sprinkle . Kobe was incredibly and charming and I would recommend trying them every week ! Gill presented the cookies to me and they were handled amazingly ! And it smelled so clean and sanitary I asked her name it and was laila and said you will get recognition as well because everyone counts !!! This organization is a sweet place ! Since there’s always a new flavor ! Thanks for the sweet attention and cookies .“

“I would not recommend this place at all. The owner was so unprofessional and already had set the tone that she was not going to refund me back on a cake I ordered from her bakery. The cake looked nothing like the image I sent her! The rudeness was so unnecessary. I am completely shocked as an owner how she conducted herself. I even told her yes the cake was beautiful but it was not what I sent her. She told me they can't get always get it to what the customer sends. In all fairness it was not even close to what I wanted as top decorations. She put 3 fresh flowers on the cake. She was dismissive right away. Obviously had already made up her mind about this situation. Basically I was told by her you don't need to use us again. Of course I'm not. I also told her the cake was dry and no flavor, her response was of course it was. She tells me I knew this was going to be a problem from the geico. Who says that to their time customer? I am completely taken by Miriam the owner. I could keep going but at this point she just doesn't care about her customers feelings and making them feel good when ordering a special customized cake for a special day. No heart.“

“It would not be autumn without enjoying cider from Gotta Farms. It has been an annual tradition for years; picking apples with the grandkids, and purchasing baked goods and wonderful cider. At Gotta's the cider is unpasteurized, the way that it should be. It is delicious and the staff there is wonderfully friendly and helpful. I always mourn when the last of the cider is finished and they close for the season. I celebrate the start of every new season. Wonderful place!!!“

“Found this place while at lunch next door with a friend. We joked about having dessert afterwards. After trying some of the confections that day I now stop by any time I am in the area. Sometimes making a special trip into West Hartford for a treat.“

“Hope is amazing to deal with. Ordering our cake was an easy process. The 3-tier cake for my 6 year old granddaughter was a spotlight at her party. It was beautiful just like we envisioned. we had tons of compliments that it was not only beautiful, it was delicious as well.“

“How far would one drive for an almond croissant? The answer my friend is at least 28 miles because that is how far I drove this morning for one of Tony's fresh and delicious pastries. The croissant proved to be very good so you may be assured that I will be monitoring the bakery's Facebook page for its weekly menu.“

“(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.“

“A very cute shop filled with gorgeous cookies and pastries. They are on the very sweet side. I could only take a few bites of one and then I put it away for the next day. There are a few chairs inside if you want to see but everyone I saw just got a box of cookies and “

“A quaint and quiet spot within the expansively characteristic building at Glen Lochen in Glastonbury. This is a place where you feel like you can sit and do a days work at your laptop, yet let your hair down at their advertised open mic night, put a record on the record player or read one of the many books they have ready to peak into.“

“I came across Annie and her cake/dessert business because my daughter was about a month or so away from turning 1. I wasn’t looking for a cake lady per se, but for some place I could take her to have a croissant with me. We both love them. Anyway, I saw Annie had a 5star review on Google and contacted her for my daughter’s cake on a whim. From very initial contact to picking up her cake Annie was kind and communicated well. She even went out of her way to offer a dairy free option for us.My daughter loved her cupcake & we loved the cake. The frosting was light and sweet but not too sweet. The cake was moist, but also airy. I think it’s safe to say we now have a cake lady. When someone asks if I know a lady…Annie is it!“

“I just had THE best spinach pie ever! I’m partial to our families homemade banads but I can’t resist trying spinach pies when I see them in bakeries… I’m always disappointed… usually I find them watery, flavorless and the dough soggy. Well all I have to say is Subby you hit a home run! The spinach is seasoned beautifully, the sausage excellent flavor and the bread was just the right thickness. I warmed it up in the oven and almost ate the whole pie…kept going back for more slice. The bakery is quite a distance from us but it’s definitely worth the trip! MZ“

“It's not a coffeeshop, more of a place where you can grab some food, pastries and coffee. They were able to make a cappuccino late in the afternoon while all the coffeeshops were closed, and it tasted pretty good! I also tried their passion fruit dessert, it was great!“

“Stew Leonard's Farm Fresh Foods is a family owned market that never fails to amaze.

From the moment you step inside, you're transported to a world of deliciousness. With an abundance of freshly made foods at every turn, it's hard to resist indulging in a full meal before reaching the checkout. In short, Stew Leonard's is a must-visit destination for food lovers of all ages. So, grab your wallet, bring the family, and prepare to shop for the finest farm-fresh fare.

“Nestled on **765 Sullivan Ave in South Windsor, CT**, Birdhouse Coffee isn't just a coffee shop; it's a symphony of flavors, warmth, and community. As I stepped inside, the rich aroma of freshly roasted beans enveloped me, inviting me to stay awhile.The baristas, true artisans, take their time crafting each pour-over. I opted for their signature blend, the **"Morning Song"**, a dance of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe and Colombian beans. With every sip, I tasted dark chocolate, ripe berries, and a hint of floral sweetness—a harmonious composition.But let's dive deeper into the coffee symphony Birdhouse offers:1. **Morning Song**: The star of the show, this blend is a morning ritual. It greets you with a gentle crescendo of flavors, awakening your senses for the day ahead.2. **Sunrise Serenade**: A light roast that sings notes of citrus and jasmine. Perfect for those who prefer a delicate melody in their cup.3. **Velvet Sonata**: A medium-dark roast with undertones of caramel and toasted hazelnuts. It's like a warm embrace on a chilly afternoon.4. **Midnight Rhapsody**: For the night owls, this bold blend boasts dark chocolate, smoky cedar, and a touch of mystery. Pair it with a slice of their decadent chocolate cake.And the pastries deserve a standing ovation. The **blueberry scone**, flaky and buttery, burst with juicy blueberries. Paired with my coffee, it was a delightful duet.But Birdhouse Coffee isn't just about the brew; it's about connections. Locals gather here, sharing stories, laughter, and sometimes a game of chess. It's a haven—a place where caffeine meets camaraderie.The rustic wooden decor, soft jazz, and friendly baristas create an inviting ambiance. Whether you're seeking a morning pick-me-up or an evening refuge, Birdhouse Coffee hits all the right notes.So, if you find yourself in South Windsor, follow the melody to Birdhouse Coffee. It's more than coffee; it's a soulful tune—a reminder that life's best moments happen over a cup of warmth.*Disclaimer: This review reflects my personal experience and taste preferences. Yours may vary, but I hope it's as delightful as mine!“

“I ordered a customized cake for my daughter's 18th birthday last year. it was a short notice but they were able o make it perfectly beautiful & the cake taste so yummy! it wasn't too sweet. they were amazing & easy to talk to. highly recommend!!!!“

“Ricotta pies are to die for. The only thing that bugs me is that I never carry cash on me and they are an all cash business now. I guess my waistline will appreciate the numerous times I’ve driven by and not been able to stop and grab something.“

“I see this bakery's bread and rolls at other markets -. It is that good. I went there on Good Friday for a coffee and toasted roll. They had about ten huge Easter baskets on table for sale. Bakery was decorated festively for the holiday. I was tempted to but a bag of cookies imported from Portugal, will soon.“

“Five stars for the chicken cutlet grinders alone. Don't think I've had a better cutlet in the region. They will customize your sandwich any way you like, and also have a really nice selection of both fresh and frozen prepared foods like broccoli rabe, eggplant parm, chicken parm, arancini, macaroni/potato salads, etc. Staff has always been incredibly friendly and quick. Prices are fair. A complete gem.“

“Donna, the owner, is an angel. The times I have gone in were last-minute, hair-on-fire moments. And each time, she's always smooth, calm & collected. Super-pleasant and always eager to please. She's the best!Recently, I called in the morning for my 11 year old's birthday gluten-free cupcake and then I forgot and the hours had already passed for them to be open, but Donna was still there and gladly opened the door and sold me the cupcake I needed. If that's not the epitome of customer service, I don't know what is. She cares and is always ready to help.As for the quality of the cupcakes, they are Simply Delicious and moist and overflowing with flavor and creativity. I bought some for some teachers at my child's school and they absolutely love them and everyone I know Raves about her and her service and the quality of her cupcakes.Whether it's in a pinch or if you're planning a big gathering, I know where I'm going to go... and it's here!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free“

“Always welcoming to get foodies there Abit of a wait but don't mind the food is well worthy and so is the price very low prices been coming there for YEARS...is very CLEANED THE FOOD SHOW CASE AND THE STAFF VERY PROFESSIONAL AT THEIR WORK...“

“Whenever I am in the Rocky Hill/Wethersfield area, I must stop at Bake Market to bring something home. Everything I have tried from sauces, dinners, soups, etc to their wonderful desserts has been delicious. I stopped to get more sauce and pasta and enjoyed a fantastic gluten free peanut butter cookie and a great cup of coffee to go! I am so glad they offer gf options! I look forward to going each visit!I have been coming to this location for a long while so when Bake Market opened here I was thrilled. They definitely deserve 5-star!“

“They did a very nice job with our catering order. We got the penne al vodka, chicken marsala, caesar salad, and chocolate chip cannolis. Everyone was very happy with all of the food! This was my first time ever ordering catering, and I’m so happy it was such a pleasant experience. Easily 5 out of 5 stars for this business!“
