We tried the tri-color donut! It was amazing. Enjoy it with friends because it's filling. Service was pleasant also

We saw the ads on social media so we stopped in while we were in the area. We tried 2 donuts. The glazed and the cinnamon sugar. Both were completely tasteless! They were dry and had no flavor. Honestly Dunkin Donuts blows these away and thats a pretty low bar! read more

Very disappointing and expensive. Received cold coffee, and a donut that was undersized to others in the case and fell apart in the bag. The donut pieces themselves were unimpressive tasting. There are better choices for your hard earned money. read more

Pastries and bread are so good. Owner is very nice as well as their girls working there. You need any Italian cookies? Best place to go.

This is my go-to for donuts for the family and when I'm heading over to someone's house as a guest. I've never been disappointed. I can't speak for the cookies for cakes but the service is good and if jelly donuts is your thing then this is the place. read more

Amazing fresh donuts!!! Pastries are extremely good. Everyone is very friendly. Can't go wrong with anything you buy

Ordered signature cake, chocolate devastation and was not impressed. Cake was totally dry. Very upsetting.

I purchased a chocolate chip bread topped and filled with Nutella. The taste was was very good, however it was dry. Not sure if it was stale or baked too long. It was reasonably priced and the staff was friendly. The place smelled great and their baked items looked delicious. They were also were fairly priced. I will give it 3 stars on this experience, however I will try them again and change my rating if my experience is better. read more

Pastry Fusions was who or venue contracts with for their wedding cakes. The owner was nice, and was able to accommodate cheesecake without additional fees. We had a good experience with him overall except when it came to the designs of the cake. The first is the picture of what we wanted, the second is what was delivered. Our cake looks like it was at a crime scene.. we had hoped for a richer raspberry sauce that was to be delicately drizzled on one side, and were very confused by the gram cracker dusting on the top of each level. I wasn't expecting exact, but something in the realm of similar would have been nice. Luckily our wedding planner was great at arranged the flowers. We also couldn't get the knife into the bottom level of the cake and had to cut a small rectangle during that cake cutting. At least the cake tasted really good. But presentation was extremely lacking. read more

Pastry Fusions was one of the three cake vendors who worked with Saybrook Point Inn (SPI), the place where I had my wedding ceremony and reception. A cake was included in my wedding package at SPI. With my hardcore addiction to chocolate, my wedding coordinator at SPI recommended that I try the Chocolate Devastation cake at Pastry Fusions. So my two MOHs and I took a drive down to North Branford on a Saturday afternoon to meet with Frank, the owner, for the tasting. He was such a nice guy who poured his heart into his business and let us sample as many different flavors as we wanted. Each sample had its own artful presentation. After many chocolate flavored cakes, we decided on the cappuccino mousse cake; three tiers of chocolate cake, layered with cappuccino mousse and cinnamon whipped cream, then frosted with chocolate butter cream. It was DIVINE! For the top layer, which I will have on November 8, 2015, it was the chocolate devastation flavor. As an added bonus, Frank provided the white roses on top of my cake. This act of kindness gave me one less thing to coordinate with my florist. Before we left, we just had to get those heavenly Maple Bacon Donuts! There was a line for the donuts! All I can say is yum yum yum! read more

Got my birthday cake from here this past weekend. Ordered it on Thursday afternoon and picked it up Saturday morning. Made exactly how I wanted it to be. I asked for an 8 inch, but it looks like they gave me a 10-12incher! Really big for $20. I like sweeter buttercream than theirs is, but I'd be willing to try other goodies they have! read more

As soon as you walk in you smell the sugar and sweetness...you just breathe it in and you know you are definitely in dessert heaven. They offer cookies, Italian pastries, doughnuts, and they seem to do wedding cakes too. On this visit we decided to get some doughnuts. We opted for 6 donuts 2 cream filled, 1 maple frosted, 1 Boston creme, 1 apple and one that had coconut. All were very good! The maple and the apple I think were my favorites. Can't wait to try the cookies and maybe another maple frosted doughnut, but with the bacon on top. read more

We used Pastry Fusions for our 7/4/20 wedding! They were so friendly and accommodating! Due to COVID we had to switch our venue to half way across the state and they still delivered. When discussing the options for the design of the cake, they were very helpful! The cake came out better than even imagined! I am so grateful that when we changed our venue we stuck with this bakery! I couldn't ask for a better business to deal with! read more

We love the pastry but heads up. Lady behind the counter and two patrons did not have masks on. I will be going to somewhere safer, too bad.

When you first walk in, Pastry Fusions may seem unremarkable. However, both the food and the people who work there are lovely. While you may be tempted to stick to the pastries (especially given a name like Pastry Fusions), be sure to check out the egg sandwiches. They are hearty and homemade - they'll cook your eggs to order and the buns are killer! Definitely a great place to stop for a quick breakfast. read more

ok i admit this is one of those places i had driven by so many times and said to myself that it didnt look like much so i shouldnt stop... well, now i regret that because finally i had the time to turn into this strip mall and see what kind of pastry they were fusioning here. DONUTS. that is all i can say. I have partaken in many donuts all around the world, and these donuts are right up there with the best. i regret not having the will power to have taken a picture, but i will be back and will try my best to shoot a pic before the donuts are gone. on top of the great donuts they also had a large case of italian cookies, cupcakes, brownies, pies, etc etc .. its a full on bakery with amazing donuts run by a friendly guy. read more

Doughnuts galore, there were so many kinds! When it came time to choose I couldn't make up my mind, So I closed my eyes and picked a bunch, And the rest of the morning happily munched. Some of the best doughnuts I've had in Southern Connecticut. The raised doughnuts were slightly crispy on the outside with a flaky interior and the cake doughnuts were nice and moist for the most part. I ordered a double chocolate, pistachio cake , coffee cake, and caramel apple doughnut. My least favorite was the pistachio cake, which was very dry on the interior and had a very timid pistachio flavor. My favorite was the caramel apple. The inside was loaded with gooey apple-cinnamon goodness and the frosting on top was sweet and delicious. The double chocolate was also as good as they come. The place also does cakes, muffins, and other pastries. They had various flavored coffees- both hot and cold- with some unique flavors. Huge parking lot in a strip mall. Only drawback was the girl working there- no smile, no passion, no personality. You need to be excited about your doughnuts, because they are delicious! read more

An excellent selection of donuts and positive word-of-mouth are what led me to finally try Pastry Fusions on a recent Sunday morning. I wanted to see why their reputation for donut excellence has been steadily growing. If you know my reviews, you know I like my donuts and am a hard grader. Well, Pastry Fusions definitely makes the grade. What you will find for choices depends on what is available while you are there, and get there early for best selection because there is usually a line. I saw at least a baker's dozen different options during my visit. I tried three flavors, glazed with maple frosting, powdered raspberry jelly filled and chocolate with lemon filling. All were excellent with a consistency that is just heavy enough to fill you up after two. These compare favorably in taste and texture to both Neil's and Whitney Donut. I will go back to try more varieties. Check their website for a complete list of flavor choices but you will definitely find something to like as their reputation in the Connecticut donut universe grows. read more

Review update. I spoke to Frank?owner and he did apologize and offer me a credit for the cake (that I didn't accept) so I will give an additional star for him at least trying to fix. I will also add that the chocolate cake we had from there was ok,at least it was as described. Again,review is only for cakes not doughnuts. Maybe someday I will try a donut. read more

We had our wedding cake done at this bakery. It was one of the two places that worked with our venue. The cake tasting was fun easy and delicious!!! Everything we tasted was amazing. They made my cake exactly the way my husband and I wanted. read more

Went to Pastry Fusions today. Picked some donuts and danish. As always it was delicious. The best donuts anywhere. Thank you for being open and taking care or your customers. Not many options and just to be able to bring home some treats for the family was awesome. Thanks for being there. read more

Delicious Donuts! I was VERY skeptical of "maple bacon" being a viable flavor, but Pastry Fusions makes it fantabulous! Love the authentic crullers, and glazed jelly yummmm, not very personable counter service, but the delicious donuts make up for it :-) read more

Absolutely delicious donuts!!!! I especially love when glazed donuts have that nice fried crunch on the outside and a soft moist cake on the inside. Also SO MANY donuts to choose from. I went in anticipating buying only 4 donuts or so and walked away with a cool dozen- I couldn't make up my mind, they all looked amazng. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other items in their pastry case. Great find! read more

Pastry Fusions - Delicious - Bakeries Near Me - North Branford, Connecticut

I was hopeful to find a good donut. Sadly, that was not the case. The crullers had a weird taste. It was like there was too much artificial flavoring. It was like a bad lemon taste. The filled donuts are cut in half to be filled and not very tasty. I also tried a cake that was also disappointing. The frosting was not good. Overall, nothing seemed fresh or flavorful. I enjoy Big Y caked much better bToo bad. I was really hoping that I found a real bakery to get tasty donuts and good cake but nope. I guess I will keep looking...in the meantime, I will stick to Big Y for cake. read more

I'm surprised this place gets the reviews and the business it does. Their donuts are greasy, and the filling in their pastry is far from the traditional Italian bakeries of New Haven. The last time I visited there, I picked up a couple of jelly donuts, and the edges were hard, and stale tasting. I don't believe items are baked fresh daily. read more

Do yourself a favor and get doughnuts!!! They are fantastic. We go here all the time from the coffee to the breakfast sandwiches to every baked good including our wedding cake you won't be disappointed. Frank and his team do a wonderful job. read more

Delicious wedding cake! Our cake came with our reception package and we are so glad to have discovered this great bakery that we probably otherwise would never have visited. Our tasting with the Pastry Fusions team was quick, easy and COVID safe. Delivery to the venue and the placing of our cake topper and flowers was seamless. We chose the yellow cake with raspberry mousse filling and it was AMAZING! Our guests are still commenting on how delicious the cake was two weeks later. We will absolutely be grabbing some cakes from Pastry Fusions in the future, highly recommend! read more

When I die, Pastry Fusion is what I'd wish for my heaven to be like. The donuts are to die for and they always have really creative flavors. I really love the pistachio, apple cider, pumpkin and eggnog (ok, I cant pick just one! and don't make me!). For my sister's birthday, we had picked up a cheesecake. Thinking it was just a plain regular cheesecake, we all took a bit and shared the same shocked delight on our faces. This was no regular cheesecake, it was eggnog flavored!!! Absolutely amazing! It was definitely richer than a regular cheesecake, I couldn't even finish a whole piece, but it was phenomenal. I've also had the Boston creme donut cake a few times for large family gatherings and it's always a hit! It's moist, sweet and exploding with flavor. Probably one of the best cakes I've ever had in my life. Their white chocolate truffle cake is also fantastic, especially the white chocolate mousse in the middle. They make some really great stuff breads too, with lots of different filling combinations to choose from. Clearly there aren't enough positive things I can say about this place so you'll just have to try it for yourself! ....Why are you still reading?! Go! What are you waiting for!? read more

I am giving 5 stars because I really love the homemade doughnuts you can get here on weekends. With out these I would be more inclined to give them 4 stars. The doughnuts are very good, and something unique to pastry fusions, as I do not know of any other bakeries in the area who make delicious doughnuts. Their cookies are consistently good, as are their italian pastries, but do not make them stand out beyond other bakeries in the area. Their cakes however, are above most of the other places. They are good, and the owner will make basically anything you request as long as you give him a day or so notice (more notice the more likely he will be able to accommodate you). They also do excellent stuffed breads. Their antipasto stuffed bread is by far the best, but if you want it you will have to call and place an order as they rarely have one just sitting around for walk-ins. read more

I see that this place gets a lot of good reviews and I've heard from people that its products are really good, so I was surprised to be so disappointed. I bought a wedding cake as a gift for my niece's small wedding. I was a little disappointed upon seeing it because it didn't really look like the photo I had been shown. But I was willing to give them a pass on that because it was a bit of a complicated design. However, I could not excuse that it appeared as though they messed up the design in one spot and someone tried to patch it with their fingers or removed it and then frosted over it. The cake inside was dry and bland. It didn't taste fresh at all. I wondered if they had made the cake itself much earlier and then just frosted it but, to be honest, even the frosting wasn't all that fresh -- or at least it didn't seem to be. On top of that, the frosting was just that really sugary frosting that was kind of sickening. You really had to push it aside. So, aside from the design which was a little disappointing but which I was willing to forgive, the cake itself wasn't very good at all, and although I would have been happy to pay $250 for the cake if it had been good, it was VERY overpriced for what it actually turned out to be. Anyway, it was the cake that my niece wanted and I had agreed to pay for it so I didn't want her to feel badly and didn't say anything at the wedding. But, after the wedding when people spoke privately, others felt that the cake was quite disappointing, too. I don't want this to be a reason to avoid Pastry Fusion. Other people have gone there and told me that they love the products, so maybe this was just one of those slip ups that happens now and then. I would try it again but I won't order anything as expensive until I get some confidence that the products are worth the cost. read more

Our wedding cake was amazing! He really listened to what we wanted and delivered. Not only was it delicious, but it was beautiful! Not a single detail was overlooked, and the flavor was amazing. Also, he fitted us in last minute, which was greatly appreciated! We ordered the carrot cake. I was very impressed by the depth of flavor and that for our three layer cake, he did not need to use fondant. I had ordered a similar cake from a different bakery several years ago, and they had told us they had to use fondant. read more

Their handmade doughnuts are to die for. I will never go back to Dunkin' again. When you walk in, an overwhelmingly strong scent of cookies and cakes hits you and you want to devour absolutely everything. The croissants are also perfect - a little crispy, flaky, soft on the inside and flavorful throughout. The owner is very personable too. I'd check out their cake book as well if you're looking for special occasion cakes. read more

BEST bakery around!! Wouldn't go anywhere else! The doughnuts are to die for, as are their coffee cakes, brownies and stuffed breads!! Friendly and fabulous, what more could you ask for!! read more

I went to a birthday party and was excited to try the cake seeing I have heard great things. However I was not impressed with the cake. Flavor was lacking and the frosting was subpar. The cake tasted stale. Don't know how fresh it actually was. I hate when something looks good but tastes bad. read more

The doughnuts.....Mmmmmmmm. So yummy. There's nothing like a fresh one, don't bother going to DD up the road, Pastry Fusions is where it's at, AND for the same price. The cakes are very good too, I've ordered two and they were both a big hit. Definitely worth the try! read more

Truly the best donuts I've ever had. This place is the best around! Very reasonable prices and perfect pastry.

Seems as though recipe for the crullers has reverted back to the original, Great, I'm back as a customer. Just finished one hmmm, good

Order 2 breakfast sandwiches and 2 donuts. Seems like they are using day old donuts for their fancy donuts. The maple frosting was great but the actual donut was incredibly chewy. They are obviously cutting cost and will lose customers doing this. Then, took a bite out of my sandwich. They forgot the bacon. I kindly told them the sandwich did not have bacon. They took my sandwich and added bacon to the one I already took the bite out of. Yum a man handled sandwich. read more

Frank is a fantastic baker. He made my wedding cake and I recommend everybody to him. It was the absolute highlight of the day. His fresh donuts and pastry are the best! read more
