They put up a menu for the day with a selected assortment. I ordered: Samoa caramel cracker cupcake - was like eating the GS cookie. Very rich with a surprise inside. My husband liked it. GF/VG strawberry and creme - dense and a little dry but good. I know it's tricky with vegan treats but this went well with tea GF/VG plain Jane - love the rainbow sprinkles and didn't feel it was anything plain but the same ia cute. Also went well with tea. The shop itself was very cute! Some couches and chairs to sit alone or a small group. Great for a meet and greet foe clients or a friend to just sit and talk. Next time I will come back to do that and order some tea or coffee. In the summer time I will try their ice cream! The staff was so nice and helpful to inform me to let the cupcakes sit out for 30 minutes then enjoy and they were so right! There is street metered parking.

I was looking for a stunning and delicious cake for my mom's 80th birthday, and I was absolutely delighted with the result. From the moment I walked into the shop, I knew I was in the right place. Lori greeted me warmly and generously took the time to talk through exactly what I was hoping for. It was such a refreshing change from the usual "hurry up" and "good enough" experience I often encounter when searching for something that matters deeply to me, even if it may not seem as significant to the person helping. Lori was attentive to every detail in the most efficient way. She guided me through decisions without ever being pushy, offered recommendations that were perfectly suited to my needs, and ultimately created one of the most beautiful - and most delicious - cakes I've ever had. She also packaged it carefully for the three-hour drive to New Jersey and thoughtfully accounted for potential January weather complications ahead of the party. My mother was truly blown away by the piano keyboard and hydrangea flower decorations, and our guests raved about the chocolate raspberry buttercream cake, as well as the salted caramel and vanilla cupcakes. Thank you, Lori, for an exceptional bakery experience at every level.

Pastel colored macarons, pastel colored cupcake icings, and a pastel pink greeting of "Sweet Life" on the wall. The showcases and counters are filled with beautiful baked goods - cakes, cookies, cupcakes, cakesicles, macarons, bars, custom chocolate dipped treats, and cannolis. 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!

This is a delicious donut! I stopped by Faddy's Donuts because I've heard from a few people that these are THE BEST! And they aren't wrong. These come from a food truck, in this case a Donut Truck, it is parked in front of Cabela's in East Hartford. They had a variety of very generous donuts lined up. The Boston Creme donut, was so pouffy and enlarged, from the very generous amount of the custard filling. There was a bacon donut, an apple cider donut, among others. I wish I could remember the exact name of the one I got, it might have been called Maple Pecan Chocolate. The food truck also sells popcorn and apple cider. My donut was $4. Since this is a food truck, and it was raining, I had no option but to take it to my car. This donut was jam packed with pecans, chocolate and maple frosting. It was so sticky, and messy but absolutely delicious! The donut it's self was super soft and fresh! These donuts need to be known about. I can't even imagine how tasty the other options are. I can't wait to return here very soon!

Want an example? Well, look no further than the high level of cuteness Snowman cookie we picked up. He had a marshmallow for a head, chocolate chips for eyes, and M&M for a mouth, and half a mini-Reese's Piece for a hat. Throw that creativity on a peanut butter cookie, add a blanket of snowy white vanilla frosting and you have a delicious and quite creative work of art. We also picked up a crunchy, and chewy Ranger White Chocolate Chip Cookie made from oats, Krispies, coconut, and white chocolate chips, and a conventional chocolate chip cookie. The cookies are large enough (well over four ounces) that we found them easily splitable, and they made a sweet tooth satisfying dessert. They have a very cool product line of cookies - including a cookie-brownie love child and a slew of stuffed "cookie bombs" that pack a gooey layer of yumminess inside the cookie. They have a nice mail order business, but if you visit the store, like we did, you'll find a big selection, a super sweet staff, and plenty of parking. And the icing on the proverbial cookie is this -- they also sell a line of those super-frozen Nitrogen blasted ice creams, shakes, and sundaes. to numb your aching sweet tooths. They'll be closed in January and will reopen in February, so make your Valentines Day cookie purchase plans now.

We left with chocolate chip, smores, oatmeal raisin, gingersnap and peanut butter cookies that were amazing! I also loved all the unique items they carry like hot sauces and pickles, which makes it more than just a cookie stop. Definitely worth a visit and next time I'm going earlier.

Total came to $16.10, a bit pricey, but it was well worth it. My wife was very satisfied, her sweet fix taken care of. We will certainly be back, Calos Cookies makes incredible baked goods, and now we have an outstanding place in town for an occasional decadent treat. Life is good !
