They are the highest quality in both the crunchy, bright, sweet, big apples and their rich, thick, buttery caramel & fudgey, glossy, luscious, chocolate. The menu changes often as well as seasonally. The combinations of flavors are thoughtful and creative like Dubai chocolate, butter crunch, white chocolate apple pie, coconut snowball, and peanut butter dream. The combinations are practically endless. They ship in store as well as on their website so it makes it very easy to send as gifts! The website is easy to navigate. The new location offers ample parking.

I stopped in and found the place spotless and friendly. I Purchased a raspberry swirl coffee cake.

I'll give the bakery a second chance because they served my family well over the years but I am very disappointed. Money is well spent these days on quality and value this was neither.

I ordered an 8" vanilla cake with American buttercream and cannoli filling. I then requested the top to be filled with pastel tones of flowers. On the day of pickup (yesterday), the cake was ready and exactly as requested. Granted, the cake was a bit pricey, but then again, I also did not inquire the price prior to ordering. The quality is there, so in the end, the price didn't really matter. Also, the cake seemed huge for 8 inches! Those working (I'm assuming one was the owner as she was there both times I came in) were super friendly and welcoming. I would totally recommend this adorable bake shop to anyone looking to have something made for a great occasion, clearly with love and quality ingredients.

We got the nachos with pulled pork (they had run out of brisket **sad face**) and the portion was MASSIVE. The picture I included was after 4 adults already ate some of it. The only downfall is when the band started playing, it was WAY. TOO. LOUD. You literally had to shout to the person next to you, even though we were a good distance away. It might help if they put the band in the far end next time and not in the main corner. Other than that, good service, good food, good drink, good times! P

What a fantastic place!…read more Right on the water in Coastal Connecticut just east of New Haven, with ample outdoor seating, Stony Creek Brewery is an ideal summer-time destination for excellent craft beer and a solid/creative menu of pub fare. We were here for an event: The start and finish of Bikes & Beers 2024 (Brandford, CT). Bikes & Beers tours the country year-round, offering cycling events that revolve around--you guessed it--breweries. Over the last few years, we've enjoyed weekends away across New England when they come to our corner of the country. Their events are very well organized and fun, with a portion of the proceeds going to local charities. Plus, there's beer! After our 30-mile ride in and around Branford, we joined the other riders for the after-ride event at the brewery for food and fun. That's the formula for all Bikes & Beers events. Back to Stony Creek Brewery. As I said, the setting is idyllic for a warm, sunny summer day. However, you'd find limited indoor dining/drinking space on a rainy day. I enjoyed their seasonal IPA (the only beer I drink) and found it exceptional. My better half had the grilled chicken sandwich to satisfy her hunger while she ordered a chili dog for me. IT WAS HUGE (and delicious). We didn't get to try the other interesting items on their menu, but our fellow riders said good things about theirs. Plus, a permanent guest food truck serves wood-fired pizzas that look and smell fantastic. My mouth is watering as I write this. I'm not sure when we'll be back, but we bookmarked this location so we can have a similar bikes & beers experience on our own someday. We liked it that much!

So my daughter had to select another sandwich. She apologized for the delay stating that they had printer issues back there. So basically she was not checking on the status of our order for over 30 mins !! There were only 4 tables with customers and 2 were done eating. There were 2 servers! Our food was finally delivered after the other table, who arrived way after us. After waiting for an hour our food was not even hot! My daughter's sandwich had burnt bacon (this is the new replacement for what she originally ordered). Our server was nowhere to be seen after we were done so we asked the other server for a box and our bill. Finally our server arrives with the bill. No apology for the delay or poor service, no acknowledgment of the service failure at all. Paid full price!! We will not come back and sharing that one of the waitress is just awful!

4 for food, 3 for experience…read more The restaurant is beautiful. Food is delicious. I went alone to the buffet. Besides the hostess telling me where to sit, no one spoke to me. I smiled every time a server walked by but no one asked if I needed anything. No one asked if I wanted to order a drink. When I would return from buffet there was bread at table and water and dirty plate removed. At one point, all of the other customers were offered water but they skipped over me. By the way, bathroom is clean. Restaurant is lovely. Fly trap in window was unappealing. I'm not uncomfortable eating out alone but this was an odd experience. When the hostess dropped check off, I paid and tipped. A server finally spoke to me and said thanks for coming. I think I will try another place next time I dine alone.

I originally planned to sit at the bar since I was dining solo, but it was packed for happy hour (always a good sign). I ended up in the dining room instead, and honestly, it worked out great. Service was quick and attentive from the start. My server, Christina, checked in on me several times without being overbearing, and I really appreciated how often my water was refilled especially since I skipped alcohol this visit. For food, I went all in: a dozen oysters, bang bang shrimp bao buns, and salmon sushi rolls. I finished with the crème brûlée cheesecake (which I already knew I loved from their sister restaurant). Standouts for me were the oysters, the bao buns, and that cheesecake absolutely delicious. The sushi rolls were fresh and flavorful, just a bit oversized for that perfect bite. Overall, a great experience with solid food and attentive service. I'll definitely be back maybe next time I'll snag a bar seat!
