I picked up an assortment of Danish pastries to share, and they were a hit. Everyone loved them, which made gift-giving easy and stress-free. It's always nice finding something that feels thoughtful and is appreciated by so many people. Of course, I couldn't leave without picking up a few treats for myself. I brought home the chocolate hazelnut and coconut ice cream flavors, and both were absolutely delicious. The chocolate hazelnut was rich and creamy, while the coconut had a refreshing flavor that was perfect for a warm day. I also purchased two breakfast pastries. One was a raspberry-flavored pastry that I really enjoyed. The other was supposed to be filled with vanilla, but the filling tasted different than I expected. It wasn't my favorite item, but with so many options available, that's bound to happen sometimes. The selection was impressive, everything looked fresh, and there was something for every sweet tooth. Whether you're stopping in for dessert, breakfast pastries, ice cream, or gifts for a special occasion, this is definitely a place worth visiting. I'll definitely be back to try more flavors and discover a few new favorites.

A Sweet Little Stop for Italian Gelato!…read more I stopped by Mozzicato DePasquale Bakery & Pastry Shop because I was craving some ice cream, and I'm so glad I did! I had a hard time choosing, so naturally... I tried three flavors. I started with the coconut, which had little flakes of coconut on top. The coconut flavor was fresh and not overly sweet, and the texture was really creamy. Next was the torrone, and this one surprised me. The pieces of torrone throughout gave it a nice texture, but the flavor wasn't overpowering. It still tasted fresh and balanced, which I really enjoyed. Then there was the mint chocolate chip. The chocolate chips were small enough to blend nicely into every bite instead of taking over the ice cream. The mint and chocolate had a really nice balance; refreshing without being too strong. Honestly, all three flavors tasted incredibly fresh, and you could tell there was attention to the quality of the ingredients. I also appreciated that the staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The bakery itself has that classic Italian pastry-shop feel, making it the kind of place where you can stop in for something sweet and somehow leave wanting to try five more things. My favorite? I'm having a hard time choosing because each flavor had something different going for it. The torrone was probably the most unique, while the mint chocolate chip was the perfect classic. If you're in the mood for something sweet, I definitely recommend stopping in and trying a few flavors. I'll be back to see what else I can get myself into!

I used to frequent the Wallingford location many years ago, so when I found out they opened a location in Middletown, I just had to go. My wife and I stopped here yesterday morning (a Wednesday) and got in and out super quickly. I kept it simple and ordered a glaze donut as well as a chocolate sprinkles donut and boy oh boy, I think Neil's has one of the best chocolate sprinkles donuts I've ever had. The top of the donut was completely covered and the dough on both donuts were so soft and delicious. Overall, Neil's Donuts is a dang gem and one of the best things Connecticut has to offer and such a great place. It looks like a cozy little donut shop, the staff have always been super friendly whenever I was here, and the food here it top notch and dang good. If you want a donut, this is the place you are gonna need to come check out.

This place is so adorable on the inside, it is small and pretty intimate, but the decor is precious! There are so many toadstools (the oversized red mushrooms with polka dots) and rainbows everywhere. Tony's specialty's are all his mom's recipes. There was a delightful selection of an assortment of sweets. Of course you can get your coffees and teas too. Each month they change their drink specials. I got a slice of their Salted Caramel Pecan Blondie and a May Specialty Latte called Fay Valentine. The Blondie was rich with caramel on the outside but decadently sweet, yet crunchy. This is an indulgence for sure! The Fay Valentine is a Banana and Peanut Butter Latte, absolutely delicious! I kept slurping long after it was gone! Please go check out the restroom at Tony's, even if nature isn't calling you to go. I have never before encountered a more magical restroom. If I tell you there's Alice herself hanging upside down from the ceiling, maybe that's enough reason to go. I had a wonderful time with my friend at Tony's Flour Shop, the staff is super helpful and friendly. I cannot wait to return.

Whooooah! I have never wanted to brag about a breakfast sandwich in my life, but Tony's Flour Shop…read morewould be the one! I ordered three things - decaf coffee, the egg, bacon and cheese breakfast sandwich on homemade Italian bread, and a salted croissant. The breakfast sandwich was beautiful - buttered and gently toasted on the outside, soft and squishy on the inside, the bacon was perfectly crisp, and the egg wasn't runny, as I had requested. I have NEVER IN MY LIFE had bread like this; it elevated the entire thing That Salted Croissant tho! I was carb-loading double-fisted style, and it was an amazing way to end my work trip. Thank you for the Studio Ghibli stickers! I knew this place was legit when there was a bowl with giveaway stickers And the service was friendly, prompt, and helpful I will definitely be back and would STRONGLY recommend Tony's Flour Shop!

I found their offerings interesting and inventive but I wasn't blown away. I like that the pastries are properly baked so they are darker and more crisp than most places. The guava one was good, but very messy as there were square, white chunks of filling mixed with the guava preserves so they were loose and fell out when I bit into it. The Cinnabon style bun was completely cooked through, which I appreciate since the actual Cinnabons tend to be doughy inside. These ones are glazed with a bit of icing instead of cream cheese frosting; I enjoyed it, but I would have liked a little more. The chocolate croissant was generously filled with a good, dark chocolate, just the right amount, just loose enough to coat the inside. I didn't taste any orange in the orange poppy muffin and I'm not a fan of strusel topping on a muffin, as I like muffin tops. All in all not bad, I will give it another try if next time I have a weekend day off.

We had a tough time deciding what to buy, and after much deliberation chose a Brookie ($4.75) - a Blondie-ish half brownie and half cookie, and a mini blueberry cheesecake cupcake (also $4.75). They were both very good, but that Brookie was in a class of its own! It was amazing, and if you like dense, chewy, sweet, chocolatey treats, well you really need to get your sweet self over to Sweets By Jenna!
