Very rich and moist, I keep thinking of the chocolate cake. They also have crepes and sandwiches, so a true variety of goods. Good service, nice space.

Incredible custom birthday cake! We requested this cake for…read moreour child's birthday. Needless to say- flawless. Every part shown of the cake is edible (not a figurine added), and delicious- not overly sugary either as can happen with these cakes. Highly recommend!

Our first visit in 2026 to Williston coincided with our son's birthday, so were looking for a…read morebakery that was a step above the rest. A quick internet search lead us to multiple positive reviews of A Piece of Cake In Essex Junction. We selected a large sheet cake that our son could share with his work mates. Gladys expertly crafted a tempting confection that delighted everyone. The buttercream frosting with chocolate shavings was a prelude to the richly-balanced and moist chocolate cake interior. This birthday treat was a flavor bomb. Multiple work associates were also impressed that we chose Piece of Cake as it is a well-known local favorite. Do yourself a favor and have Gladys create your celebration centerpiece.

Such a wide variety of doughnuts and other baked goodies. Big fan of their maple doughnut (so light…read moreand fluffy). Anything I've gotten I have not been disappointed by. They also make really good bagels! I've had their cannolis, other doughnuts, cream horns, a couple of cookies, everything has been so tasty. While I try to refrain from eating all the goodies I buy in one sitting, it can be difficult, but this place fills my sweet tooth. Good service, not usually too busy the times I've gone in. No seating inside, it's more of a grab and go kind of place. Do recommend if you're up in Burlington or yonder to venture to it.

An Essex gem! The…read moreQuality Bake Shop is a no frills cash only bakery and diner that has been operating in Essex for over 70 years as of 2025. The service is always very quick, the workers are friendly, and the food is excellent. The coffee is a great mellow drip coffee that I can only seem to find in diners in the northeast. Their donuts and pastries are light, fluffy, and made fresh daily (make sure to get there early before they sell out!). Beyond these, they have a great classic diner menu for breakfast and lunch at affordable prices.

Donuts are amazing and a great price for the quality (pun intended). The maple with vanilla cream…read morewas my favorite and I'm normally not a fan of filled donuts! But this filling is light and airy not custardy. Dangerous to live so close!!

Mirabelle's is without a doubt the best bakery I've been to in Vermont! Everything I've tried here…read morehas been fantastic but the standout is the crème brûlée cake. Probably the best cake I've ever had. Ever. A must try! My best friend served the crème brûlée cake at her wedding a few years ago and guests from out of the area still talk about it. The cinnamon rolls are also unique and out of this world. They look kind of dry compared to classic soft cinnamon rolls but I tried one because a lot of reviewers recommended them and they were incredible and not dry at all. They must use a laminated dough instead of a regular enriched yeasted dough so you get sweet cinnamon flavor in every flakey buttery bite.
