One review even said the donuts tasted like "Play Doh and/or paint thinner". Let me say this as clearly as I can, the donuts and crullers we just picked up were FANTASTIC, as fresh as could be, and 100% wonderful. We picked up a variety of cake donuts, traditional Yeast-Raised Donuts, cruller sticks, and donut holes the other day, and we were 1,000% happy with their taste, size, and freshness. I loved their Cherry Cake donut! It was so big I really should have split it with my wife but didn't. They have 28 flavors on their website, baked in small batches with rotating flavors. Prices start at $2.49 for a single classic glazed donut, then go to $2.99 for a filled donut (jelly, custard or fruit), and then $3.25 for Specialties. For you big spenders out there, a Cinnamon Roll is $3.49, and an Apple Fritter is $3.75. These prices seem pretty reasonable to me, considering how big and excellent I found their donuts to be,

This is a delicious donut! I stopped by Faddy's Donuts because I've heard from a few people that these are THE BEST! And they aren't wrong. These come from a food truck, in this case a Donut Truck, it is parked in front of Cabela's in East Hartford. They had a variety of very generous donuts lined up. The Boston Creme donut, was so pouffy and enlarged, from the very generous amount of the custard filling. There was a bacon donut, an apple cider donut, among others. I wish I could remember the exact name of the one I got, it might have been called Maple Pecan Chocolate. The food truck also sells popcorn and apple cider. My donut was $4. Since this is a food truck, and it was raining, I had no option but to take it to my car. This donut was jam packed with pecans, chocolate and maple frosting. It was so sticky, and messy but absolutely delicious! The donut it's self was super soft and fresh! These donuts need to be known about. I can't even imagine how tasty the other options are. I can't wait to return here very soon!

We found a nice table by the door, and the whole place had a very homey and relaxed atmosphere. I also loved that they have outdoor seating. I ordered a cappuccino, and it was very good. We didn't order any food because we already had plans to eat somewhere else down the street, although I'm usually tempted by something sweet with my coffee! This time, the desserts didn't really catch my eye. Many of the options appeared to be gluten-free, and visually they looked a little dry to me, so I decided to skip dessert. Overall, though, I really enjoyed the atmosphere. It's a comfortable, welcoming place to sit, enjoy a good cup of coffee, work on your laptop, or just relax. I would definitely stop by again!

As a small business owner myself, I love seeing businesses like this grow and thrive. I remember when it was just the owner and one staff...there were now three working their butts off!

I personally am not a major fan of filled cupcakes, but sometimes I do appreciate a pudding filled pure decadence cupcake. The crumb is tender, the frosting is plentiful, and the price is reasonable.

This was the second cake the Carlitos bakery made for the shower because I DROPPED THE FIRST ONE! I picked the first cake and within 15 minutes a dropped it getting out the car. I called Carlitos immediately! Not only did the owner graciously made another, but most importantly, the cake was for an event the very next day! The miracle and patience this woman had was commendable. Needless the day the service is 10/10! The food: JESUS! I've used Carlitos before the bridal shower. She made a cake for my sisters birthday and some pastries for a friend's event. The mini cheese cake sups are delectable! Mouth watering and the perfect portion. The quesitos are rich and fluffy. The atmosphere: Inviting. It feels like friendship. Like a home. Almost like Sunday mornings at your aunts house or grandmas. The place is clean and warm. The display cases are full and very tempting! Pricing: BEYOND fair. When I dropped the cake she charged me less than the first one. Please stop by and give the wonder small business some love!
