While driving through CT to head to RI, we searched for a breakfast cafe. And, oh, how I am glad…read morewe stumbled upon La Stella. We got there early last Saturday and it was already busy. The good thing is there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating so no issues finding a table. Everything we ordered was delicious, mascarpone egg and cheese sandwiches one with added ham and two different breads: herb Italian and a bagel. But, my absolute favorite was the Neapolitan cookies. I loved buying those when I lived in NYC 25 years ago. Haven't found at any Italian bakery since then now that I live in NC and it was a nice surprise! Coconut and almond cookies were really good. If I could offer any advice, have lavender, pistachio and other syrups for the lattes :)

After checking the trusty yelp app, Baker's Dozen was the obvious choose for a quick bite to eat before I unknowingly fell asleep for another two hours. This place is pretty dang big and seems to have a few locations in eastern Connecticut. The staff was nice, the donut selection was even nicer, and for a donut shop, it was a great looking shop too. I settled on an Oreo cookie donut as well as a chocolate sprinkle donut with some milk to wash it down. Both donuts get a big thumbs up from me and I made sure no crumbs were left behind. They tasted fresh and I can't help but think people should absolutely be choosing this over another lackluster Dunkin' location. Overall, I really enjoyed Baker's Dozen and I would absolutely indulge in some donuts on my next trip.

#40 in my NEW ENGLAND & NY COFFEE SHOP SERIES…read more This is an Asian-owned, female-owned bakery and coffee shop with delicious Asian-inspired pastries and fun drinks! We came on a Sunday around 10:30am and they were almost out of some of their pastries. Definitely go there earlier. But that just shows how fresh everything is! Firstly, all of the pastries looked delicious! It was so hard to just pick one so we needed up picking 3. Cheesy hotdog bread, kbbq short rib bread, and a cranberry cream cheese pastry. They were all SOOO GOOD! The bread is so soft and the flavors were delicious. They have lots of fun seasonal drinks, caffeinated and non-caffeinated. They also have boba! I got an ube banana latte and my friend got their seasonal Coquito latte which was recommended. Both were delicious (and very strong). The service was immaculate. I didn't catch the cashier's name but she was younger with brown hair. The sweetest person ever! Definitely made the experience more enjoyable. The owner, Chan also gifted us a piece of delicious oreo cake for fun! It was so yummy and not too sweet. I cannot recommend this place enough!

The moment you walk up, the buttery aroma hits you, and suddenly you're debating whether it's socially acceptable to order three pastries before 10 a.m. The display cases are stunning: perfectly laminated croissants, glossy macarons in every color, sticky buns, guava cheese danishes, scones, quiche, artisan breads--each one looking like it was styled for a magazine cover. And the best part? They taste even better than they look! Coffee is excellent too--smooth, strong, and exactly what you want in hand as you wander the casino. Prices are surprisingly reasonable for a resort, and the quality is top‑tier. Even when there's a line (and there usually is), it moves quickly and is absolutely worth the wait. Whether you're grabbing breakfast before hitting the floor, picking up a box of macarons as a gift, or treating yourself to something decadent after a show, Sift delivers pastry perfection every single time. It's easily one of the sweetest highlights of Mohegan Sun. Cheers
