I purchased a caramel cupcake, 2 glazed donuts, and a cinnamon sugar donut and let me say my companions and I absolutely devoured them! The caramel cupcake was incredibly moist and flavorful with a perfect amount of sweet with the filling and frosting. The service was fairly quick however we did arrive about an hour before they closed so I wasn't expecting to see many people anyways. The store itself is very cute and much larger than expected.

Nothing much else to say other than it's a pretty good bakery and it's been here for years!…read moreSurprisingly the dessert in the middle tastes better after having the after-taste. Same goes for the Baclava donut. The glazed is sometimes a little too sweet, but still good. Also, sometimes from what I remember the cinnamon and sugar could be greasy, but I haven't tried that one in a while. I've tried their sandwiches before as well and they're delicious. Service is awesome and everyone is kind. There are some tables of two to sit at near the windows.

Their speciality is fresh, mini donuts with many topping options - I tried the strawberry cheesecake, blueberry pie and ferraro rocher/nutella! Super delicious and was even better paired with their Oreo Overload shake. They also serve chicken or pork pinchos with bread if you were looking for a complete meal. And definently don't pass up on their passionfruit juice and customizable Italian ice bar! So many flavors and candy to choose from. Super down to earth owners/family, and they even have handprints you could sign around their truck!

So many refreshing treats for the summer, like the milkshakes, Italian ice, shaved ice, and fresh juice. I couldn't believe how many choices there were on the menu for mini donut creations!

Pizza was fine. Feedback from the wife was that the burger salad was "worse than Maggie McFly's"…read morewhich is a pretty strong statement for a semi upscale establishment. Service was below average. Either I messed up and ordered the wrong beer in the flight, or my server did. The sweet heat pizza did not come with onions as advertised, and was rung up as "adult pepperoni" with no disclosure of the change. Atmosphere was fine, but unlikely to return.

The…read morerestaurant boasts a very cool interior with a large and diverse menu, offering everything from wings, burgers, and pizzas to full entrees. The space itself is welcoming, featuring a cozy dining area near the bar and a separate, quieter dining area in the back. For appetizers, we shared the General Tso's chicken and the Point Judith calamari, both of which were delicious. Our party ordered a variety of main courses--the 40 clove chicken, The Tavern chicken, the bourbon steak tips, the salmon, and the pork chop--and everyone raved about the quality of their meal. The service was excellent; our servers were very attentive, and we highly recommend the restaurant to others. We can't wait to go back and try the pizza next time! The only downside to this restaurant is a small parking lot. But there is extra parking out on the road.

The only thing we don't like are the other desserts in the case. There has only been one thing that we have enjoyed, and it was a Mango Toaster Pastry from our first visit. Other than that, we find the brownies, cookies, etc. to be pretty average...sometimes too sweet, sometimes too bland. Cupcakes are their specialty for sure, and we'll keep coming back for those.

There are different seating options including a back room which houses a beautiful yellow sofa, blue chairs, coffee table, and three arcade games. There is also a large room downstairs to rent out for gatherings such as birthday parties. Such a nice idea! The gluten-free cupcakes were soft, rich and yummy. I wish I had more. There was a really nice guy working the day I came in. He has been working for Hardcore Sweet Bakery for two years. He was very helpful and answered all of my many questions. He's a keeper!

This place is good for the only local bagel shop around but it's extremely unorganized…read more There is never a clear line to order food and not a big enough area to wait for pickup. The wait for food and coffee is always at least 15-20 minutes even if you call ahead. They have a large selection of coffee flavors on the wall but every time I've come they never have 3/4 of them and the hot flavors are not the same as what they have for cold flavors. The people who work here....some are nice, some are rude af, some are just weird. I just left here and after asking what two different flavors were like the guy had no idea...nothing to tell me about it. He said I'll just have to find out. My order has been wrong here plenty of times as well. I will ask specifically for a hot coffee and get a cold. I will ask for butter and get cream cheese. Simple things but easy things to just get right. I've also never been to bagel store that runs out of bagels but then I realized that they don't cook their bagels on site here. They get them shipped here from another location. I come here just because there is no other bagel store in town but they could do much better.

Fascia's Chocolates is a family-owned chocolaterie that opened in Waterbury, Connecticut in 1964…read more It was founded by husband and wife John & Helen Fascia. An electronic technician by trade, John worked for the Bristol Company. He began to roast nuts and sold them at work to supplement the young family's income. In an effort to increase sales, he and Helen began making chocolates in their basement. In addition to chocolate nut clusters, they soon began to make caramels, toffee and creams. The chocolates became so popular that soon the Fascia's basement operation couldn't keep up with the supply and demand. By 1978, they opened their first retail store on Meriden Road. Two years later, John quit his job so he could make chocolate full time. John and & Helen were soon joined by their three young daughters Louise, Lynne and Laurie. In 1985, the business moved to an expanded storefront on Wolcott Street. As business continued to grow, the business would relocate to Lakewood Road in 1990, Thomaston Avenue in 2008, and finally to Chase River Road in 2013. The Fascia Family still runs the business, although John & Helen are now semi-retired. My family and I recently visited Fascia's Chocolates to attend a special "Chocolate Experience". We were escorted into a small room with other attending families. There we were greeted by Company President Carmen Romeo, who happens to be married to Louise Fascia. He quickly informed us, "I may be the President, but my wife and her sister are the real bosses." He gave us all a presentation where he discussed the history of the company as well as chocolate production in general. He gave all attendees samples of the three main types of chocolate (Dark, Milk & White) and discussed the differences. Afterwards, all children were able to make their own chocolate bar with their choice of toppings. My sons both picked rice cereal and Fruity Pebbles. We also got to take a look at what happens in the production area. After the experience, we all went into the retail shop and explored all of the delicious chocolates that Fascia's produces. While I distracted my sons, my wife discreetly purchased some chocolate coins for St. Patrick's Day and chocolate bunnies for Easter. We all had a great experience at Fascia's Chocolates and hope to enjoy their delicious chocolate again!

The staff brought us to the back room where they go over the history of Fascia's chocolates, the different types and percentages of chocolate as well as other delicacies they make in their stores. We were even able to watch them make other candies live while we made our own. We made a chocolate bar with melted chocolate, decorated it with our candy selection and were able to bring it home. Definitely worth the time and price to learn a little history and take home a sweet treat!
