    Fruit tart
    Bridgett P.

    This bakery is truly special! I stoped in to purchase a fruit tart for my wife's 35 birthday. I learned that whole tarts are only available by pre-order, but the owner was able to chat with the pastry chef and take my order to pick up a few hours later. I am so impressed by their customer service, and the beyond delicious tart! They have earned a loyal customer! Please check them out.

    Apple Strudel

    By Elizabeth Rubin Pastry Chef Karen Gumpel at Dagmar's Desserts in Old Saybrook pulls out all the stops with her gorgeous Three Layer Buttermilk Cake. The refreshing lemon and raspberry buttercream filling pairs perfectly with the light buttermilk cake adorned with vanilla buttercream. But this is much more than a cake, it's a centerpiece. Gumpel created a lush basket of pastel flowers that sings spring. Another lovely and popular confection is Dagmar's version of the "naked cake": a modern take on carrot cake with cream cheese frosting between each layer (and perhaps saving a few calories, too!). My favorite reason to stop by Dagmar's? The scrumptious Apple Strudel: a delicate pastry dusted with powdered sugar and filled with apples, sweet raisins, and walnuts for a bit of crunch. A slice and a cup of coffee was all the pick me up I needed after shopping in Old Saybrook. (Find the strudel at The Marketplace at Guilford Food Center, too). Owner Dagmar Ratensperger's store motto is "From Germany to the Shoreline". It's the most delicious journey you'll ever take without leaving home. www.dagmarsdesserts.com

    Dagmar's is one of those places that never has let me down. Every time I stop in I remember the last time I was there and the new pastry I have never heard of that I tried and now I can't stop thinking about and then .... they don't have it! but wait what's that other thing over there? I'll get that one. OH MY... even better than the last? how do they do this??? a mecca of unique pastries that I am always excited to try the new things. Seriously delicious. Sometimes they have vegan options, or you can special order them - which is great if you are looking for that.

    This is pure delicious! Sooooo tasty!

    I have to preface this review by the fact that I had 1 thing. But this thing was A-Mazing! I didn't note down the name when I went but it was a praline moose, something or other. This small mound of goodness was to die for! Next time I vacation home I will go here as it left me wanting to try more!

    THE BEST BAGELS I've ever had in the state of Connecticut! I'm originally from Long Island New…read moreYork. Moved up here fall 2012. Had such a hard time finding remotely decent bagels, so every time myself or my family would go down to LI we'd bring back anywhere from 1-3 dozen at a time and free some. This is for myself, my parents, my sister brother-in-law in thier 3 kiddos. So we hadn't been down much since the pandemic and he settled for Bruggers when I used to have to go to Shelton but haven't been to Shelton for over a year. So no bagels since it's not worth it eating them from anywhere else. WELL... OMG!!! This place is phenomenal! They literally taste like Long Island, New York bagels phenomenal. You can actually pre- order on their website.. They also deliver. I don't know if it's them themselves or what not exit 66 off i-95. My parents live out that way so they go and get them. My absolute favorite or the cheddar jalapeno bagels & sesame. They also are a bakery and have baked goods they put on their website and my mom said they had that. Plus they sell homemade cream cheeses. Obviously you can get egg sandwiches and what not as well she said. So absolutely in heaven will be getting them at least 2x's a month. $24 for a baker's dozen which is obviously 13. My mother loved the pumpernickel, my sister and the kids loved everything, bagels. And what's good with the these jalapeno cheddar unlike the other place I got them. It's not a slice of cheddar cheese. It's like shredded, melted and not big round jalapenos but chopped up so good! Good! I found my bagel Place up here finally and you will too if you value good bagels. Only thing not a big deal they are not open on Mon. & Tues. ENJOY!!

    Pretty good bagel, not so NY style but still solid. I'd be interested to try their sandwiches but I…read morejust got their cream cheese today which was also solid. Cute space, no indoor seating, maybe a couple tables outside though. They take Apple Pay woo! And have so many other sweet treats that are clearly homemade- the maple coffee cake was awesome. I would go back for the coffee cake alone. They serve ashlawn farm coffee! Which is a slay I love that place

    Cloud Nine Catering catered my wedding at the Ellie Mitchell Pavilion at Rocky Neck State Park, and…read moreI could not be happier with the entire experience. First off, the food. The food was amazing. I loved it. Our parents loved it. Literally everyone I talked to love it. Everything was fresh, perfectly prepared, and delicious. One of the highlights of the first day of married life was devouring the leftovers (yes, they help you package those to take them home - you paid for them, after all!). I honestly can't pick one aspect of our menu that trumped the others, it was all so delightful. The appetizers were great, the main course (we did a buffet) was amazing, and the desserts (we had an assortment) were splendid. Second, the staff. Everyone that worked on our reception was great. Erin's clear communication made planning everything a breeze, and Desiree's oversight ensured that everything went smoothly during the event. Cloud Nine will transport a set amount of materials to the venue for you (we had them transport our table numbers and runners). The Ellie Mitchell Pavilion has a super strict timeline, so this was a huge help. Being that its a historic building, the Pavilion also has really strict rules about where, how, and when the food can be prepared. Cloud Nine takes all of that in stride every time they cater an event there, and made sure everything was executed in compliance with the policies. Knowing I was in such good hands took a huge amount of stress off of me during that day! Third, the staff again. This was huge. During the reception, Cloud Nine puts someone in charge of making sure the bride and groom has all the food and drink they need during photos, etc before the entrance. AMAZING. This meant that we actually got to enjoy the delicious appetizers, rather than having to miss out. It also meant that we got to enjoy a beverage and take a minute to relax! Fourth, the pricing. Catering a large event is never very economical, regardless of who caters it. I think that Cloud Nine offers an amazing service at a very reasonable price. In addition, Erin was incredibly accommodating in creating a menu that not only covered all of the food and drink we wanted, but also fit within our budget. Honestly, I have nothing but glowing reviews of Cloud Nine catering. I wish that we didn't live in CA and could stop by their cafe for a bite to eat! Our experience with them was amazing, and I highly recommend them.
