    Cupcakes
    Jason P.

    Luann's is a bakery that is obviously well loved in the Ellington area. They have (1) a primary bakery, coffee, cafe location; (2) a presence at the Ellington Farmers Market, and (3) at least one express location affiliated with a grocery store in the area. Stylistically, I'd call Luann's an elegant country bakery with a focus on cupcakes. Their pickle cupcake has some fame in CT and I think Big E circles. I tried it after my recent visit. I thought it worked. Sweet, but not to sweet. A bit of dill. Fresh texture. I even ate the pickle on top, which was probably not my favorite part. LOL. I wouldn't order it again, but you shouldn't be worried about trying it. I also had a black iced coffee, which was pretty good. Inspirational message written on top. Nice touch. I wasn't expecting to see Luann's again at the Farmer Market, but I actually got bread stuffed with an egg there. The egg was cooked a bit more than I like, but it was decent. The primary bakery cafe was charming and service was friendly. I'd say Luann's is must visit if you're in the Ellington area. 4.25 Stars

    I wish they were closer to where I live but I always make a point of stopping here when I'm in the area. A wide variety of breakfast and lunch options and lots of gluten free options too! Be sure to check out their socials for updates on specials. When we visited they had a decades theme going in and we grabbed these fun cupcakes.

    I had heard some really good things about LuAnn's, and they were on point....did not disappoint. Stopped in today, and was impressed by the cleanliness, all of the displays, the cozy / inviting dining area, and (especially) my choice of pastry. I had a pumpkin cream cheese roll. It was gooeyness personified, and hit all the right notes. Embarrassed to write, I practically inhaled it. I understand they have a booth at the BigE, where one of their specialties is a fried pickle cupcake. For me, the Nellie McKnight is something that's on my radar for the next visit. Ample parking, good service, highly recommend. 5 gooey stars

    New to The Big E this year LuAnn's Bakery hits the ground running with their absolutely delicious cupcakes. They are so moist and full of flavor. All the workers at the booth were very friendly and quick to deliver our cupcakes. Easily one of my top favorites at the fair this year! We came back and chatted with them since I noticed it said Ellington, CT. Come to find out they have 2 locations very close to where we skydive, will definitely visit when I'm in the area!

    Nice quaint Bakery and Cafe nestled in Ellington Ct. We went specifically for the Andes Mint Latte (hot) . The recommended Latte was all the hype. Friendly staff and very organized. I will definitely go back again and this time have lunch.

    Great coffee, food, and pastries! I love trying their seasonal drinks and the different quiches they offer. They also have great to go soups as well.

    Their salads, sandwiches and soups are great. They make the best chocolate cookies. Other baked goods are awesome too. I love their coffees! Everyone here is so nice! The cafe is quaint and cute! They also have a drive thru location a couple miles down the road for grab and go. Definitely go grab a coffee and cookies!

    The best way to describe this place is cute and cozy. Lots of baked goods, small breakfast items, and great coffee choices. Relaxing atmosphere and great, friendly service. It's not often I'm in this area but I would definitely go back again!

    Cheesy chicken enchilada soup

    This place is a hidden gem. Everything I had from hee was really good. I took out a couple of lunch items. MariAna on Wecka was my favorite. Chicken fiesta wrap was also really good. Soup of the day was cheesy chicken enchillada soup. Hot pistachio white mocha latte was a good choice for coffee. I went for a small triple berry crumble pie from their bakery. That was an excellent choice. I finished it in a single sitting. I also took out barbeque cheddar meatloaf bake from their frozen section. It baked out to be a really nice entree.

    I've had Luann's bookmarked forever and I finally made it. All of the sweets looked amazing and the place is very charming. People were starting to order lunch plates and everything that came out looked great. My bread and cupcake were delicious. My reason for 3 stars instead of 4 is service. The cashier who waited on us was not there in spirit. It took a very long time to get a cup a coffee. Then a very long time to get the cream and sugar. A very long time to get a stirrer. A very long time to get a napkin. It just turned out to be a more frustrating visit than I had hoped for. If in the area I would return and perhaps get everything to go.

    Fire On The Mountain Smokehouse

    "And there's fire on the mountain Lightening in the air…read moreGold in them hills and it's waiting for me there" (Marshall Tucker Band) Fire On the Mountain has one of the most unique menus I've ever encountered. Seriously, where else have you ever seen breakfast quesadillas, catfish and grits, cheesecake cornbread waffles, smoked brisket hash, deep fried pork ribs, catfish, mushroom, and alligator tacos, and a Puerto Rican Rice Bowl all happily living in the same menu's neighborhood? And then, the icing on the cake was our server - a charismatic and uber-friendly gent named Bromwell who lights up the room with his personality. He made my list of the five greatest servers I interacted with this year. The restaurant's location is as unusual as its menu. You'll find it occupying the front space at the Suffield Commons Senior Living Apartments! Yup, as you walk through the restaurant and out their back door, you actually enter a common space for the housing complex. The restaurant itself has two dining rooms with booths, tables, and chairs and a bar with dining room chairs. That eclectic menu is chock full of breakfast, lunch, and dinner choices with Mexican and barbecue flairs. We were there for lunch and ordered two things. The first was an enormous Cheese Quesadilla ($9.35) with pork ($3.12) on a grilled flour tortilla served with sour cream and pico. It was a thing of beauty, cut into five thick wedges loaded with smoked pork. Our second item was a Caesar Salad (Half size for $6.23) with a side of smoked brisket ($9.36). I passed on the croutons and Caesar dressing in lieu of barbecue sauce as my dressing. I gotta tell you, the brisket was GREAT, a big serving of tender and juicy smoked beef cut into four slabs that must have totaled close to a half pound. We loved everything about Fire On the Mountain and agreed that we need to return for a proper breakfast when we are out that way or making a morning airport run. PRO TIP The restrooms are located in the housing complex's common space I described earlier/ Just exit the restaurant by the door in the rear dining room, and you're just about there.

    A group of 9 hungry bikers was warmly greeted and fed very well. The food was excellent. Eight of…read moreus had the Brisket Hash Benny and we all gave it a big thumbs up. The service was wonderful and attentive - all with a smile. Special shout out to Bramwell for going above and beyond. The colonial era home and quintessential New England village were the icing on the BBQ. We're not from the area, but when we are back this way, we are stopping in again for sure.
