Today a group of Yelpers met here before our street clean up and had our breakfast outside. They had options from the bakery window such as donuts and bars, muffins to breakfast sandwiches and bowls. I had a GF muffin. I was happy to see that had a few gluten free goodies to choose from. They don't have any gluten free bread. However, my fellow Yelpers that did choose breakfast sandwiches..ohhh my they looked amazing!! The bread was so bread, it looked heavy , home made and nothing like a fresh made sandwich. Coffee were good as well! Good to know about this place. Another coffee spot to add to my list when I just want to meet up with a friend and sit outside! It was delicious. Thank you!

I was in Middletown this weekend and remembered that I've wanted to visit Cake Batter & Roll since…read moreI learned about it on Yelp and/or Instagram. It's located near Main Street in downtown Middletown. The shop is cute and service was exceptional. CRB sells desserts, baked goods, bread and made to order cakes. Although I posted a pic of 3 year old Lila's birthday cake, it was not my cake and I wasn't invited to the party. Lila apparently didn't think I was cool enough. Maybe next year. Very cool cake though. I would want one of my friends or family members to have a cake that cute. I also did not have one of the Super Bowl team color cake push pops. I tried to order one, but they were only displayed for pre-sale. They looked great though. We did order a turtle brownie, a salted caramel bar, a blueberry muffin, a churro bar and a loaf of rye bread. Our family split a number of these things. I thought the brownie, caramel bar and blue berry muffin were all terrific. The bread and churro bar didn't really connect for me. The bread was not what I would call a traditional rye. It was denser and seemed a touch pumpernickelly in flavor. CRB had other breads that looked good though. The churro bar didn't remind me enough of a churro to warrant the name and there was a dense cheesecake type layer that needed more of an identity. Overall, there was more great, than not great though. I would definitely recommend Cake Batter & Roll if you're in Middletown. They have some tasty desserts and they can make gorgeous stuff. Four Stars

We are talking so insanely smooth and velvety that it puts actual memory foam pillows to shame. I halfway expected to lay my head down on it and take a mid-afternoon nap. No crunchy ice chips, no sharp brain-freeze crystals--just pure, seamless, velvety frozen perfection. It is so fucking good I genuinely had a brief spiritual experience. Do yourself a favor, skip whatever else you were planning on doing today, and go get a cup. 10/10, no notes, taking a bucket home with me next time.

What a great little no-frills spot for some quick Italian ice on the go. Parking's not great, but…read morefor a quick in-and-out spot it seems serviceable enough. Worst case you can park just up the street and walk. That might actually be better if you don't want the kids dripping it in the car or are a messy eater yourself... Only tried two flavors, blue raspberry and lemon. Stuck with the lemon, as I wanted the extra tartness. What really stood out was the VERY smooth texture. I'm not in the area particularly often, but I'll be back when I get the chance.

After dinner with some friends at Typhoon in Middletown, some of the party walked over to Tswirl…read moreCrepe, which recently opened in Middletown. I was excited when I saw Tswirl Crepe open as the South End of Main Street lacks much of a dessert scene. Tswirl Crepe offers Japanese crepes with their crepes made out of rice flour batter. The crepes are then stuffed and folded like a cone. They offer a number of options for the interior of the crepes including banana chocolate, strawberry banana and matcha chocolate truffle. They also have healthier options including lunch and dinner options with tuna, salmon, beef, chicken and vegetables. I got the banana chocolate crepe, which was good. It had a combination of whipped yogurt, chocolate custard chunks and granola topped with chocolate sauce and slices of bananas. Tasty! However, the crepe was also about $10, which isn't cheap for that type of item. However, the quality of the crepe was good, so that the price more palatable. The service was a bit slow, but the restaurant was very crowded. Altogether, Tswirl Crepe is a nice, new edition to Main Street in Middletown and I'll likely be there again!

Very hipster coffee shop…read more Came here on a whim, trying to find breakfast spots and had some time to waste before one opened up. So opted for a coffee while I waited. Going inside, it's a bit on the dark side with a man working on a laptop with a large dog in a dog bed next to him. The cashier behind the counter was a bit groggy with the morning, short in temper but helpful. I opted for a simple black coffee of their Brazilian light roast. Coffee was bright and bold. Strong and not watery, but no strong fruity notes I usually associate with a light roast. Very good, and would make a great base in a latte. They do offer lattes but the menu for those required me to look over the man and dog combo which was a bit awkward. It's good coffee but the morning was not favorable for my visit.

I had no business getting ice cream before attending a party, but it was my last day in Connecticut…read moreso I just had to squeeze one more snack in before I flew back to Los Angeles. Originally, I stopped at an ice cream place down the street but it didn't open till 4pm (which is a tad insane if you ask me) so I ended up giving 0degree Thai Ice Cream a go instead. This place looks mad cool when you walk in and the place is decorated very well. The walls are covered in art and the counter itself has all the ice cream and treats you really came for. I ended it up keeping it simple and ordering what I think was called the Cookie Monster, which was basically just rolled Oreo ice cream. It's always cool getting to watch them make the ice cream right in front of you and after a few minutes I was eating it in my car like a true ice cream sneaking champion. The ice cream was great and that's all I can really even say. The flavour was good, the price was fine, and they gave me enough to leave me satisfied. Overall, 0degree Thai Ice Cream is a cool spot to have in downtown Middletown. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but there's no reason not to give this place 4 stars for being good at what they do.

Floral teas, handmade sweets & dairy-free heaven…read more Came here originally just for a bubble tea... and ended up discovering a whole hidden gem. First thing I noticed was their sign saying most of the sweets are handmade, customized, and one-of-a-kind and you can really tell. Everything feels unique, not your typical copy-and-paste dessert spot. Let's get into the drinks because that's what brought me in I tried the Singapore rose with kiwi boba super delicate, floral, and lightly sweet. It's one of those drinks that feels refreshing but still has flavor. The kiwi boba gave it that little pop of tangy kick that made it even better. I also tried the dragon fruit tea with passionfruit boba; this one was giving tropical vibes all the way Light, slightly sweet, and really smooth. The passionfruit boba actually enhanced the tea instead of overpowering it, which I loved. And can we talk about the options here?! Dairy-free ice cream (huge plus if you're sensitive like me) Thai ice cream Kunafa nest treats (yes... they looked as good as they sound ) This is definitely the kind of place where you come for one thing and end up planning your next visit before you even leave. Final thoughts: If you like trying new flavors, floral teas, or just want something different from your usual bubble tea spot. This place is worth it. Unique menu, handcrafted sweets, and drinks that actually taste intentional.

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!

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.
