The donuts are delicious, my favorite right now being the Oreo one. The staff is very friendly, we were attended to by a lady who was very friendly and courteous. With 2 coffees, 2 hashbrowns, 2 bacon egg and cheese sandwich bagels, and 3 donuts... the total cost was about $32. She even threw in an extra donut . All staff members have been very friendly and kind. Definitely recommend this place.

We got a chocolate frosted, a twist, a jelly filled, and a cruller. They were all stale and almost hard. It was around 10:30 in the morning, but these tasted like they were several days old. Took a bite of all 4, and we just tossed them out. Couldn't tell what flavor the jelly flavor was. Didn't taste like raspberry or strawberry, so who knows what it was. At least we can say we tried. Won't be back.

The employees behind the hot bar were very helpful. I ordered kielbasa, two types of pierogis- sauerkraut & mushroom and cheese & potato, golumkis (stuffed cabbage), pork tenderloins, a tray of mixed vegetables, and cooked sauerkraut. I arrived the next day at the time planned and picked up all the items without any problems. I also grabbed a loaf of fresh rye bread and a box of assorted cookies/pastries. When we opened the hot food items, they were still warm and everything tasted delicious! We all enjoyed the bread and desserts too. Thank you Roly Poly for making our Father's Day meal a success!

Decent donuts, nice local shop, good staff…read more Came to this location for another bakery, but hours were wrong so I had time to burn. Decided to hunt down a few different locations and this one popped up in the hunt. Location is a small space in a little plaza. Staff was friendly, recommended the strawberry donut. Price was 2 bucks a donut, so towards the higher side. Donut was fresh, dense with a heavy sugar shell and a strong artificial strawberry flavor. Not bad, but I prefer the lighter yeasty style donuts than the denser, sugar laden ones. As a local donut shop, it's good. The quality is there, but the donuts are not my style. They are good classic dunker style doughnuts though.

My BF got an iced coffee, which he thoroughly enjoyed. We grabbed an assortment of donuts to try, since it was our first time here. Their cinnamon rolls are huge, and it was nice and cinnamon-ey which I love. I also got the cruller to enjoy later. Now, to me, a cruller is nice and airy with a hint of crispness in the edges and a moist center. This was more like an old fashioned donut made into a twist, and it is probably one of the best old fashioned donut I have had ever! Nicely glazed, but that dough ... chef's kiss! We also grabbed their chocolate frosted and a Boston cream to share with our son. The employees are super nice and helpful. Only downside is they only serve coffee - iced or hot. I wish they had an espresso machine for lattes and cappuccinos. 4.5 stars!

Good donuts, needs tlc…read more I've been to this place before, and I appreciated the location despite it being an event. So being in the area, decided to come here and pick up some donuts for the ride home. We got here late in the day, and they were out of almost everything when I got there. I managed to get a churro and matcha donut. I then saw they did a Dubai chocolate strawberry cup, and had to give that a try as well ( they only do the cup on the weekends) The donuts were very fresh, light and chewy. They are high in price but much better in quality compared to other places I've tried. The Dubai strawberry cup had a kind of weak chocolate sauce over them. Not the cheapest stuff on the market, but not strong or mellow like the expensive chocolates. The strawberries were fresh, and the Dubai part needed a little salt to counteract the sweet and enhance the earthy. Inside is well decorated but dirty. All the tables were dirty, there's lots of dust and other ditritus when I was waiting for my dessert. It was end of day, so I get why they would not be fully clean. But there's some repairs that need to get done and there's cracks in the facade. Despite the lack of donuts, the quality was good and the Dubai strawberries were a nice sweet treat. This is a good place to get some interesting food items or sweet treats. Not a trek worthy spot, but good if you're around

Kasia Bakery - New Britain, CT…read more Kasia Bakery is an absolute gem for anyone craving authentic Polish baked goods and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Every time I visit, I'm reminded of the care and tradition that goes into each item they make. One of the standout treats is the cheese and cherry stuffed babka--a perfect balance of tangy cherries, creamy cheese, and rich, buttery dough. It's a slice of heaven that pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee. Another must-try is their apple szarlotja (polish apple cake/pie), which is moist, fragrant, and loaded with fresh apple flavor. If you're in the mood for something indulgent, the creme-filled karpatka is a showstopper. Its delicate choux pastry and velvety filling are a true testament to Polish pastry perfection. Whether you're stocking up for a holiday or just treating yourself, Kasia Bakery never disappoints. The staff is always friendly and happy to help you find your new favorite dessert. Don't miss out--this bakery is a true treasure in New Britain! TIP: it's a very small bakery where you pick up and take out as there is no seating in the place itself.

Now the employees do not understand polish or English. I have such trouble just placing a simple order. Also the quality of the bake goods has declined.

Today I visited this location and was disgusted to see older women touching and squeezing unwrapped breads with their bare hands. Gross!

When my wife worked in West Hartford, Elmwood was a popular office destination for lunch, because they gave you a free cookie with every sandwich! Their menu is an embarrassment of tempting riches, with pastries, pies, deli and breakfast sandwiches, cookies, cupcakes, donuts, full cakes, breads, and rolls of every flavor and description. We stopped in yesterday for a few assorted odds and ends- cookies, donuts, and a wonderful loaf of soft rye bread. There are plenty of old-time bakeries across Connecticut, and like everyone, I'm sure you have your favorites. Elmwood should be on your list, too.

The market has a warm, lively atmosphere and feels welcoming the moment you walk in. The staff is friendly and efficient, even when it's busy. The food is excellent, with a great variety of fresh sandwiches, salads and an impressive selection of pastries that are hard to resist. The scones are perfectly baked-soft and puffy in the center with a crisp outer crust. The cookies are enormous and packed with chocolate chips. On my most recent visit, it was extremely busy and there was a bit of a wait for my latte, but it was well worth it. The vanilla latte was hot, flavorful and filled to the top-just the way I like it. Doro Marketplace continues to be a must-stop for me whenever I'm back in the area, and I always look forward to returning. Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed.

Recent standouts were April's "What's up Doc" carrot cake latte, & May's "Blossom-Sauce" cold brew, which had a house black currant syrup and an elderflower cold foam.

And it's a very relaxed, friendly, pleasant environment. I highly recommend going if you have not. While I have not attended any, I know they host events such as Cars + Coffee!

Drove an additional 15 miles to go and visit Stew Leonard's…read more I preface this review by saying I've seen the owner of Stew Leonard's on the morning news in the past. Particularly during the holidays, where he is talking about how to prepare your holiday meals. Second, my friend from New Jersey is probably the Duchess of Stew Leonard's and I had to see what this was all about. Here is my story It's like going to a Trader Joe's if you're on the West Coast, BuCees if you're on Central and southeast part of the country or I don't know I suppose a typical local giant supermarket. Here are my observations. They accommodate the local people they have so many things you can do with your children. If you're shopping in the store, they have mascots and different games you can play. The store is clean and organize organized There are many local products, they support the local community Would I go back? Probably if I lived closer, I would love to buy their vegetables which was very neatly displayed and priced. They were busy! That says something right?

They have their own wine and liquor store, plus a grab-and-go, buffet-style area with fresh, hot food. There is also an ice cream station with cotton candy and strawberry soft-serve, which is delicious. I especially love the cone cups because if the ice cream melts, it doesn't drip all over you. One of my favorite parts is the selection of pre-prepped meals you can take home and throw right in the oven, like Chicken Cordon Bleu and stuffed chicken with spinach and artichoke, along with many other options. It makes dinner so much easier. The only downside was that the avocados all seemed very overripe, so those probably aren't the best thing to buy here. Other than that, the store is well stocked and easy to shop in. I also really appreciate that they have real checkout counters instead of only self-checkout. The employees are friendly, helpful, and the service is good. Prices run a little on the higher side, but if you look around, you can definitely find some decent deals. Overall, it's a convenient and enjoyable place to shop, especially for the pre-made meals and family-friendly atmosphere.
