Teenagers who typically don't know answers to simple questions, are unaware of many products and prices, and cop a real attitude by huffing and puffing If you ask a question out of their limited knowledge bank. Never greeted, coming in or exiting. The 2 stars I gave is because I did pickup a blueberry Bundt cake that was moist and tasty!

Swung by Crumbl Cookies in Fairfield after hearing tons of hype--and wow, it delivered on sweetness…read moreand creativity. I grabbed a 6-pack to try, and it was definitely a sugar-filled adventure. The store is bright, clean, and smells amazing the second you walk in. Ordering was smooth--using the app made things even easier--and though there was a small line, it moved quickly. Staff were upbeat and helpful. Here's what I tried: Pink Sugar (2x) - Classic frosted sugar cookie. Soft, buttery, and nostalgic, though a bit sweet for my taste. That signature almond-pink frosting is either love or leave. Fruity Pebbles Cookie (2x) - Surprisingly good! The crunchy cereal added a fun texture, and the cookie itself had a mellow vanilla vibe that balanced the sweetness. Chocolate Chunk - Thick, chewy, and loaded with big chocolate pieces. A solid go-to, though not as adventurous as the others. Lucky Charms Cookie - This one looked super fun with marshmallows on top. Flavor-wise it was more novelty than standout, but still enjoyable for the experience. Biscoff (I think - top left?) - Soft, spiced, and packed with that cookie butter flavor. A standout if you like warm, cinnamon-y notes. Double Chocolate or Chocolate Raspberry? (middle row) - Hard to tell, but it had a rich flavor and a nice texture. Would eat again. Overall, Crumbl is a great treat spot. Cookies are massive, rich, and best shared or saved for later (pro tip: refrigerate and reheat!). The rotating weekly menu keeps it interesting, and it's perfect for gifting or indulging once in a while. Not something I'd grab weekly--my blood sugar says no thanks --but definitely worth the hype for special occasions.

No, really, they were buttery and awesome! I crushed the package in one sitting. It was a nice compliment to my Lucibello's order of Sfogliatelle. I sadly had to dock the place 1 Star for not being there when I actually lived in Hamden some 35+ years ago. That place could have possibly been my crack house. I look forward to trying more of their menu in the future.

I recently learned about Magical Fantasia Donuts, They seem to do a few different things, but the…read morestandout is the Bombolini, a type of Italian donut filled and/or topped with icings, fruit etc. Magical Fantasia is very close to downtown Bridgeport. The shop is cute. Lots of violet. I arrived around 2:15 on a Saturday. It seemed like only one person was working and she was working on an order in the back when I arrived. It took a few minutes for her to finish. I had pre-ordered, and my box was ready when I arrived. I understand that they sell out of their donuts in the morning. So you will definitely want to plan accordingly. Of the places I've seen doing Bombolinis, Magical Fantasia is one of the more elaborate and has the biggest selection. The flavors we ordered included Banana Pudding, Pistachio and Boston Cream. The donuts themselves are very light and have a bit of sugar. They're basically all the same and serve as a canvas for other things. I tried the Boston Cream and the Banana Pudding. Both had swirls of icing on top. And the flavored creams extended well under the apparent surface of the donut. The banana pudding, Boston Cream and Chocolate icing were all delicious. Magical Fantasia is a place to check out if you're in the Bridgeport area. 4.5 Stars
