My experience with the owner of Just In Cakes was not good. I attended the 95 TripleX Bridal Expo in Burlington, VT today and I was not greeted at all by the owner, Mr. Hoffman, when I approached his booth. He spoke not a single word until I spoke to him. His demeanor toward me was most unwelcoming for reasons unknown. He looked at me as if to say, "What are you doing here?", almost as if I were some sort of extraterrestrial. Noticing the name on his business cards and sensing his discomfort, I simply said, "I'm here (attending) for a friend. Are you Mr. Hoffman?" He simply stated "Yes" with the same "Why are you here?" facial expression. There were cupcakes available to sample (he did not offer one). I was hoping to perhaps place orders for future functions at work. I picked up his business card and walked to other booths. Several minutes later, I noticed a couple who walked up to Mr. Hoffman's booth and the interaction was like "day and night" compared to mine. Mr. Hoffman's demeanor was welcoming and he was fully engaged with the couple. I then walked back to Mr. Hoffman's booth and quietly placed his business card back on his table while he continued to speak to the couple. I am a firm believer in supporting local businesses. Experiencing such unwarranted standoffishness from Mr. Hoffman was puzzling. I haven't the slightest idea why Mr. Hoffman would act in such a cold manner toward me. The interaction with him was disheartening and quite sad - and truly the opposite of my experience with other Vermont business owners. read more

Piece of Cake

Our first visit in 2026 to Williston coincided with our son's birthday, so were looking for a…read morebakery that was a step above the rest. A quick internet search lead us to multiple positive reviews of A Piece of Cake In Essex Junction. We selected a large sheet cake that our son could share with his work mates. Gladys expertly crafted a tempting confection that delighted everyone. The buttercream frosting with chocolate shavings was a prelude to the richly-balanced and moist chocolate cake interior. This birthday treat was a flavor bomb. Multiple work associates were also impressed that we chose Piece of Cake as it is a well-known local favorite. Do yourself a favor and have Gladys create your celebration centerpiece.

Gladys was AMAZING to work with. I called her only a couple days before I needed a cake in hopes…read moreshe'd be available and she was more than happy to help me.

Highly recommend!!

Quality Bake Shop

An Essex gem! The…read moreQuality Bake Shop is a no frills cash only bakery and diner that has been operating in Essex for over 70 years as of 2025. The service is always very quick, the workers are friendly, and the food is excellent. The coffee is a great mellow drip coffee that I can only seem to find in diners in the northeast. Their donuts and pastries are light, fluffy, and made fresh daily (make sure to get there early before they sell out!). Beyond these, they have a great classic diner menu for breakfast and lunch at affordable prices.

Donuts are amazing and a great price for the quality (pun intended). The maple with vanilla cream…read morewas my favorite and I'm normally not a fan of filled donuts! But this filling is light and airy not custardy. Dangerous to live so close!!

Mirabelles Bakery

Mirabelle's is without a doubt the best bakery I've been to in Vermont! Everything I've tried here…read morehas been fantastic but the standout is the crème brûlée cake. Probably the best cake I've ever had. Ever. A must try! My best friend served the crème brûlée cake at her wedding a few years ago and guests from out of the area still talk about it. The cinnamon rolls are also unique and out of this world. They look kind of dry compared to classic soft cinnamon rolls but I tried one because a lot of reviewers recommended them and they were incredible and not dry at all. They must use a laminated dough instead of a regular enriched yeasted dough so you get sweet cinnamon flavor in every flakey buttery bite.

I had a most delicious blueberry danish. It was out of this world…read more What would have made the experience better is if the employees were a bit more customer oriented. For example, letting you know your coffee is ready so that you don't have to stand guard by the counter. It's details like those that warrant the expected tips.
