Recently I went to checkout out From Chans Bakeshop. It's a French Asian bakery! Women owned! I was amazed at the yummy items I saw. Nothing gluten free , but it's ok. I'll buy what I can't eat for others. Since I couldn't eat any of it I wanted to buy so many different things. They offer coffee, teas , boba drinks. To eat.. savory pastries with toppings. Then there was the sweet pastries out of milk bread all topped with something or stuffed. They also had a bin of yesterdays goods where I bought some items from as well(not pictured). There were some baking goods I was not sure what they were and staff was very helpful! It is a cute cafe to sit , have coffee and eat!

From Chan Bakeshop is such a treat and so glad they have a location near by in Cromwell. Every time I visit, there is always something new to try and flavors you will not find anywhere else. Chan's baked goodies (sweet & savory), breakfast items, lunch items, and drinks like coffee, tea, and lemonade have an Asian twist. For example, you can't find the lemonade here anywhere else. So many flavors to choose from like mango, peach, and bubblegum to name a few, but what makes it unique is the frothy texture. I personally enjoy the milk tea, the red bean bubble milk tea being my favorite. I love that it's not very sugary and has a strong red bean taste. My husband is a fan of the Chicken Caesar Wrap and the Spicy Cozy Dog. I always have to pick up a cozy dog when they are available because it's one of my husband's childhood favorites. I really enjoyed the Corn & Cheese Bun and the Black Bean Coconut Sweet Bun. I love that there are a lot of savory options and the sweet items are not overly sweet. The staff is wonderful and Chan herself has been at the shop herself. Try to visit early to have the best selection as items will sell out. Sometimes there are items discounted, samples, or if you are lucky, they'll throw in a free treat. The prices are a little higher than most bakeries for a pastry, but these are flavors you won't find anywhere else. Please do yourself a favor and visit Chan's, you won't be disappointed.

Finally tried this bake shop after eyeing it for a long time. It did not disappoint. It's a small place but gives off a very cozy vibe. The staff were so friendly and helped you order whatever you were looking for. They also shared tips on reheating some items that I took home. I ordered the spam sandwich and it was delicious and very filling. Filled with scrambled eggs, crispy hash brown, spam with a gochuchang sauce, yummy! I also ordered an ube latte and a cozy dog to go. Highly recommend this place and looking forward to stopping by again.

I always pass this spot and decided to stop by today, so glad that I did! Definitely worth turning around. We were unsure what to get, but the staff were friendly. We opted for a cinnamon toast crunch latte, and a blueberry iced coffee. Everything is freshly made homemade including the blueberry sauce and the whipped cream. The bacon egg and cheese was also very good. It was on bread that was a combination of a soft roll and a croissant. They have a variety of pastries and bread as well as some sweet treats and cookies. They have a nice little seating area and a nook in the corner to enjoy your coffee and food. I will definitely come back.

I was interest in checking this bakery out after seeing some reviews on Instagram. This was a bit of a drive for me but always love a good foodie adventure! We initially tried going to the Broad Brook location as it is a lot closer to us, but come to find that the location was temporarily closed. Not sure if it was posted anywhere else aside from the door but we were not away it was closed. We turned around and went to the Cromwell location maybe 30 mins after opening. It was already pretty lively when we got there, both with customers and staff behind the counter. We got into line after browsing the array of pastries on display. My fiancé and I ordered the following: coconut custard iced latte, strawberry lemonade, a "double Asian" breakfast sandwich to split, a giant cinnamon roll, guava mascarpone croissant, and a spicy Chicago hot dog bun. Although we came in 30 minutes after opening and everything was freshly presented, I wished we were welcomed with an oven baked smell upon entering. Instead, since it was a bit tight, some customers incredible strong cologne plagued the place. I got my coconut custard latte and it was decent.. the coconut flavor was incredibly subtle, mostly just came from the dollop of custard plopped into my coffee. Nothing too crazy. It wasn't too sweet either which was nice, but kind of bitter tasting. The spicy Chicago pigs in a blanket was incredible. It was on display so I didn't think it was still be warm but that thing came out with some good heat, temperature wise. The spice was not too present, although i only had one bite. This was my fiancé choice, and he was pretty happy with it. Flavors, sauce, and texture were all there. 5/5 would get again! I have the guava mascarpone croissant and to be honest it wasn't out of the world. I thought the guava filling was pretty light and there were lots of bites taken where it was just croissant, no jam. Wasn't my favorite but flavors were still there. No hints of the mascarpone either so that was a bit sad. We split the Double Asian breakfast sandwich which consisted of shaved beef, scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, and some delicious savory sauce. I believe this came in their milk bread, which looked dense but had an interesting texture. It came double wrapped in paper which I think could greatly be improved upon because it was completely drenched from the sauce. It was pretty messy to eat since they ran out of napkins and took about 15 mins to restock on that. Flavors were there, and the hash brown had a great crunch to it. We haven't tried the cinnamon roll yet since we were stuffed, so that was a nice treat to bring home. Overall, spent about $56 for 5 items which seems to be the new norm now, unfortunately. I was super impressed with the savory goods and thought they were nicely crafted. The sweet baked goods were good but again, nothing that I haven't tried before. Mostly knocked a star off for price, but overall a great experience. The owner was hard at work so I can appreciate a dedicated leader.

Still really good savory bakery items from a very passionate owner Familiar with their broad brook location, decided to make the trek to their new Cromwell location to give them a try. When I came in I was happy to see them quite busy with lots of folks enjoying their items. Chan was very busy, running around and handing out samples of some new lemonade flavors she was experimenting with. It's always good to see a passionate owner with seriously good baked goods get their time to shine. The baked goods are just as good as I recall. Lots of savory options and some sweet options but not a lot. The bulgogi sandwich was on fresh milk bread and wonderfully spicy and tender. The cupcakes were good, and the croissant bread pudding had lots of caramelized sugar bits on top of a nice and moist bread pudding. As always, From Chan's bakery does the right blend of sweet and savory, with unique creations from an owner who has serious skills and is brimming with passion. It's worth the trek to come here, and I look forward to making that trek again

I Had to Stop in this new bake shop in Cromwell. I ordered an iced coffee and a bacon egg and cheese. My wife ordered a Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte which she let me try and it was delicious. Prices are a little bit high here latte was 7.60$ and bacon egg and cheese was 12$ but the overall quality of the food was good. Staff here is really friendly and she helped me out when ordering too. Very comfortable seating Inside too.

What an amazing find!!! Absolutely delicious savory bakery items, with a staff and location that do not disappoint. With a bakery display of homemade goodies, along with a menu of breakfast and lunch offerings, and a full coffee, lemonade, and tea menu this cute little bakeshop is a perfect fit for a quick stop or a lingering lunch. You choose - but definitely make the drive - you will not be disappointed. Also found out Chan does custom bakery too... so custom cakes - just ask!! Chan herself is always present and making sure each customer feels special and has a memorable friendly and delicious experience. The shop itself is cute and comfortable. Plenty of seating for a cafe, with good easy parking.

WOW! This place is an absolute must visit. We went for the first time today and I know we will return again and again. Everything is scratch made and so fresh. The case of baked goods made it very hard to choose. There is a large variety of milk bread rolls - the sweet potato was so yummy but I'm sure they all are. They have a huge variety of sweet and savory options in the case and they also make breakfast and lunch sandwiches to order. Lots of options for coffee beverages, matcha, boba, and lemonade - many flavors. Everything was so delicious and the people working there were super nice. Can't wait to visit again!

I made an initial visit on a recent Sunday morning arriving within 10 minutes of the bakeshop's opening. The selection of breakfast type pastries proved to be disappointing with only a pair available though there was a decent selection of other baked goods. I chose what I believe were a pair of pecan sticky buns that proved to be delicious. I plan on returning this week in the hope a greater variety of baked goods.

Oh Wow so excited about this place. The owner used to work at my favorite other treat place in Avon. So excited! Cuz now I only have a 5-minute drive for some delicious baked goods. Can't wait to come back and try out her other offerings, lunch specials and breakfast sandwiches. We went with 3 donuts and a cream cheese iced cinnamon roll. Hubby said it had too much Icing on it. The Custard filled donut was my favorite. The Ube donut filled with Ube cream was good as well the cream was balanced and not overly sweet. The Ube Crueller was very light would have been really good dipped in a cup of hot cocoa. I can't wait to go back and try some of their lunch items.

I'm so excited to have a new bakery in town! I'm even more excited to see ube items offered! I recently stopped by and grabbed a few things to share with my family - Vanilla custard donut, Oreo custard donut, Ube muffins and an Oreo muffin. I also got an iced oat milk latte - I can't remember what syrup I got but it tasted like brown sugar and was delicious. I tried half of the Oreo custard donut and half of an Ube muffin. I genuinely enjoyed both - the custard was very good and I loved how the donut was fluffy yet had a nice crunch. The Ube muffin was surprisingly not as sweet as I thought it would be - not a bad thing at all - and I liked that you could taste the authentic ube flavor. I will 100% be coming back for more amazing treats!
