    Assorted cookies
    Tiffany C.

    I got some cookies from here and they were great! I liked the ones with chocolates especially. This place gets very busy on weekends, so plan accordingly. The only reason why I didn't five 5 stars was because of the staff members. They were not so friendly. I didn't know how to order what since I don't usually go to Italian bakeries, and the staff member gave me a look to rush the order. If you already know what you'll be getting, you should be okay!

    They have Boars Head! Awesome! And cookies, cakes..oh my, the list just goes on. For about 8 or 9 dollars you get get dozens of cookies. And they have every kind of cookie imaginable. I was directed here by a few locals who told me how yummy it is. They were certainly correct! You almost do not want to eat anything because the displays are so pretty. See pics. Love the bright pops of cookie color! Yum! On top of that, they are also a deli AND they sell Boars Head. I had never heard of Chaves before but I certainly will be putting the word out. A Bakery AND a Deli that has such great food. I will be back.

    Mixed holiday cookies and Portuguese rolls

    Fantastic authentic Portuguese rolls and pastéis de nata. Mixed pasties were all delicious and the kids loved their holiday cookies. We definitely be back

    Winnie the Pooh themed bagged cookies. Rattle, beehive, onesie and little plaque.

    I ordered a custom cake, cupcakes and cookies for my nieces Winnie the Pooh themed baby shower and was beyond pleased with them. They greatly exceeded my expectations. The designs were exactly what I envisioned and besides that they all tasted great. My friends and family were raving about how good they were. Additionally they worked with me on the designs to find the most economical options to get what I wanted without breaking the bank. They delivered on time and were professional but still warm like extended members of the family. I totally recommend them and will personally not go anywhere else.

    Since I left my previous review, the store did have their bread slicer repaired. It slices beautifully.

    The Bronx Experience in Shelton If you want the soul of…read moreArthur Avenue without the trip to New York, Gaetano's Deli in Shelton is the undisputed heavyweight champion. Founders Guy and Milanno actually got their start on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx back in 1990, and they've successfully transplanted that high-energy, authentic Italian spirit right into Fairfield County. The Foundation: Arthur Avenue Bread The bread at Gaetano's is legendary. They source it directly from the Bronx, ensuring that every sandwich starts with a foundation of beautiful, crusty sesame seed bread. * The Texture: It has that signature "snap" on the outside while remaining airy and soft on the inside. * The Flavor: The toasted sesame seeds add a nutty depth that complements the salty Italian meats and tangy vinegars perfectly. The Gold Standard Chicken Cutlets Many places claim to have good cutlets, but Gaetano's cooks theirs to absolute perfection. * The "Kovac's Special": Often cited as their flagship sandwich, it features a chicken cutlet so tender and well-seasoned it stands out even when paired with heavy hitters like prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers, and broccoli rabe. * Crispy & Light: The breading is never greasy; it's thin, golden, and provides the perfect crunch in every bite. Unbeatable Value and Atmosphere Despite the premium quality and the "Bronx-to-CT" logistics, the value here is incredible. You can find several of their least expensive--yet still massive--sandwiches (like the John Wayne or various parmigiana rolls) starting around $11.50 to $14.00, with many hearty heroes hovering right at that $15.00 mark. The service team is a well-oiled machine. They are fast, friendly, and carry that classic deli "swagger" that makes the atmosphere feel alive. It's loud, it's bustling, and it's unapologetically Italian.

    Tried this deli for the first time…read more PARKING - while on a busy Main Street they have some parking spots available so you should be in good shape OUTSIDE - they have these tinted windows so from the outside you can't see the inside. One reason it took me so long to try AFFILIATION - I learned that this place is a second location for massiminos in Bridgeport which is a pretty Italian place in its own right ENTRANCE - as you come in you can see the main counter in the back. There are a few tables around if you want to sit and eat/drink coffee. AMBIANCE - it's a very clean and deli looking decor. DRY PRODUCTS - they have a small selection of Italian items from dried pasta to jarred sauces. Typical brands that you see in supermarkets or other Italian stores. There are a few imported from Italy brands but I'm no expert to say yea or nay PIZZA - they have at the counter a pizza station where you can a buy by the slice. They looked pretty good with a lot of variety. COFFEES - they have regular plus they make expresso, macchiatos, lattes etc. I tried the macchiato which was excellent PASTRY- they gave a few at the counter. The breakfast buns and treats. I noticed a crème pastry which I tried. It was OK but in reality the pastry part was super good but the inside crème would have been better if it was like a Boston cream filling SERVICE - definitely 5+ stars. The employees couldn't be more friendly and helpful. Very congenial with small talk. Not the usual cold QSR attitude you get from the fast food chains PRICES - I only got coffee and a pastry that was over $8. I'd say average or a little on the higher side but I didn't look at the menu on the screen too closely although it was a little difficult to see.
