I definitely want to go back and try more items to give this place a full review but I enjoyed most the pastries I got! I did agree it was a little overpriced and I didn't like that the receipt wasn't itemized so I didn't know what pastries cost what. I absolutely loved the chocolate and pistachio rolls they were delicious and the Dubai chocolate was great too. My friend said she enjoyed the tres leches cake and it looked moist. What I didn't enjoy was the chocolate chip cookie it was dry and looked kinda old and also the cinnamon bun was really dry could have used more icing or more filling? But I would definitely try this place again and see what other items I don't like. It's worth a stop just try what looks good to you.

Pretty solid bakery! It's kind of in the middle of nowhere but we were pleasantly surprised by the…read morebaked goods. It's pretty small inside with a few tables and a small counter. They make a new assortment of baked goods every day, which is cool. We ordered a blueberry scone, banana chocolate muffin and zucchini cranberry muffin. The blueberry scone was ok - thankfully not dry but also not sweet enough. The banana chocolate muffin was the star though, super moist and flavorful. My wife said the zucchini cran muffin was solid too. Nice spot, will be back again when next in the area!

The original Rosemary's Bakery was before my time, but for over 20 years I've been hearing about…read morehow iconic this bakery was from my entire family. When we heard they were reopening, we decided to go check it out right away! We went mid-afternoon, and needless to say they were already picked over because everyone in the community is as excited as we are about their reopening. We picked from what they still had in stock and OMG, I'm in heaven! The chocolate eclair was literally one of the best I've ever had, and we were big fans of the strawberry turnovers and cannoli as well. Plenty of seating in the bakery to sit there and enjoy a treat, and I think their weekend hours are awesome. We can't wait to order my mom's birthday cake from there this year because their signature cake is beloved in my family. I'm sure we'll be regulars!

I purchased a caramel cupcake, 2 glazed donuts, and a cinnamon sugar donut and let me say my companions and I absolutely devoured them! The caramel cupcake was incredibly moist and flavorful with a perfect amount of sweet with the filling and frosting. The service was fairly quick however we did arrive about an hour before they closed so I wasn't expecting to see many people anyways. The store itself is very cute and much larger than expected.

I love the pineapple coconut cookies. I've eaten them for years. They are delicate yet the flavor of pineapple and coconut work so well together. The cookies are moist and soft. They are such a joy to bite into. This day I also tried the toasted almond cupcake. While beautiful, it was extremely sweet, even for me. I couldn't eat it in one sitting. I don't think I'd ever purchase it again. It does remind you of the good humor toasted almond ice cream bars that were discontinued. But I just wish the topping wasn't so sweet. The cake was blander to complement the icing but it just wasn't for me. If you are looking to host an event or surprise a friend, i think treats from this bakery say I love you! There is so much variety that you should be able to find something for anyone. I took one star off because the staff isn't too conversational which takes away from the experience. .

Besides the fact that I spent 62.00 on an 8inch round very berry cake was ridiculous in itself. The cake was nothing like I remember it being years ago. By far the worst frosting I have ever had. You know it is bad when 15 people took a slice and most of it ended up in the garbage. The frosting was nasty. My daughter said it tasted like wax smells. It tasted nothing like whipped cream. Way over priced not worth it. I will be calling tomorrow to let them know how horrible it was.

Fascia's Chocolates is a family-owned chocolaterie that opened in Waterbury, Connecticut in 1964…read more It was founded by husband and wife John & Helen Fascia. An electronic technician by trade, John worked for the Bristol Company. He began to roast nuts and sold them at work to supplement the young family's income. In an effort to increase sales, he and Helen began making chocolates in their basement. In addition to chocolate nut clusters, they soon began to make caramels, toffee and creams. The chocolates became so popular that soon the Fascia's basement operation couldn't keep up with the supply and demand. By 1978, they opened their first retail store on Meriden Road. Two years later, John quit his job so he could make chocolate full time. John and & Helen were soon joined by their three young daughters Louise, Lynne and Laurie. In 1985, the business moved to an expanded storefront on Wolcott Street. As business continued to grow, the business would relocate to Lakewood Road in 1990, Thomaston Avenue in 2008, and finally to Chase River Road in 2013. The Fascia Family still runs the business, although John & Helen are now semi-retired. My family and I recently visited Fascia's Chocolates to attend a special "Chocolate Experience". We were escorted into a small room with other attending families. There we were greeted by Company President Carmen Romeo, who happens to be married to Louise Fascia. He quickly informed us, "I may be the President, but my wife and her sister are the real bosses." He gave us all a presentation where he discussed the history of the company as well as chocolate production in general. He gave all attendees samples of the three main types of chocolate (Dark, Milk & White) and discussed the differences. Afterwards, all children were able to make their own chocolate bar with their choice of toppings. My sons both picked rice cereal and Fruity Pebbles. We also got to take a look at what happens in the production area. After the experience, we all went into the retail shop and explored all of the delicious chocolates that Fascia's produces. While I distracted my sons, my wife discreetly purchased some chocolate coins for St. Patrick's Day and chocolate bunnies for Easter. We all had a great experience at Fascia's Chocolates and hope to enjoy their delicious chocolate again!
