It's cute inside and the service was friendly and informative. They let me know that EVERYTHING, even the puff pastry is made in house!!! Very impressive! I bought a couple glazed donuts to make up for the horrible pastry and donuts that I had this week from elsewhere. I'm so glad I did because they were fresh made and moist and the glaze was still wet! If nothing else they made was good, I would go back just for the glazed donuts! But everything is great so let's keep chatting! I originally decided to drive there to get the cinnamon bread that I remember as a kid. Unfortunately they were sold out. But they did have what they called Easter bread, which is s rich egg loaf, similar to Challah with red and golden raisins in it and the dough is lemon flavored. I bought a loaf of that and brought it home and made epic French toast with it! I highly suggest you do the same! I also tried their spinach pastry and "pizza" pastry, delicious! All the dough here just melts in your mouth without leaving a leathery film on your tongue which means it's real pastry made with butter! I have thus resigned myself to the fact that I will be gaining weight soon due to the frequency in which I plan to keep visiting this place haha!

Very disappointed! Years ago, this bakery had the best donuts ever. I went first thing this…read moremorning, 8 AM, for the first time in years to pick up a dozen donuts. I ordered six glaze, three jelly and three Boston cream. First of all, when I get home and open the box, there are six glazed and six jelly. The order was wrong. I started with a glazed doughnut, remembering how they were the best glaze ever. It was stale! I tried a second one to see if it was just that one doughnut, and that was stale also! The jelly was worse! The donuts were actually crunchy. Once again stale. It appears that they sell stale old donuts at regular price. I could see if I got there at three or 4 PM. But this was 8 AM, first thing in the morning. These donuts should've been extremely fresh. They were obviously made the day before and sold as fresh. Never again!

We opted to order there instead of online and to sit to eat a little. The line was to the door, but it moved pretty fast. We sat at a comfy two person table while we waited for our drinks and food. The place is definitely busy, but not too loud. I got a cold brew with maple and my daughter got the cookie butter latte. She devoured the coffee! The bagels are out of this world and from Bradstreet Bagels out of Kinderhook. This means we can get their amazing bagels a little closer to home now. I got their bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on an egg bagel and mmmm that really hit the spot. I'm picky about bacon, but this is like Canadian bacon, very good! I'll definitely be returning again for more coffee and another fabulous sandwich!

It also has blondies, brownies, and cupcakes with unique flavors like crème brûlée and bourbon. Bri Larsen, a pastry chef with a Culinary Arts degree from Schenectady County Community College is the creative owner. She offers options for custom cakes and macaron towers. The bakery also offers in-store pickup and online ordering. Specialties: --French Macarons: A wide variety of flavors, including gluten-free options. --Blondies & Brownies: Includes unique options like "the local blondie" with Saratoga Potato Chips. --Cupcakes: A selection of flavors like caramel, cotton candy, and confetti. --Cakes: Custom-order cakes in various sizes. I am not a Macaron lover, so I bought a key lime blondie, a lemon bar, a caramel drizzle cupcake, and a gluten free raspberry drizzle cupcake. I found the blondie to be rather flavorless, but the lemon bar made up for it by being exactly what I think of when it comes to a good lemon bar. Slightly tart, a nice crust, and just a touch of sweetness on top. The gluten free cupcake was enjoyed by my friend who said it was exceptional. The other cupcake is a treat for my husband. Overall, the beautiful variety of macaroons are the breadwinner for this bakery. Not many bakeries make or sell them. Service was great--welcoming, helpful, and patient. I will definitely return. Prices are moderate considering the expertise required and the quality of the ingredients used.

I loved that they actually stuff the cone instead of leaving the bottom hollow -- such a small detail but it makes a big difference! They're also super generous with samples, so you can try as many flavors as you need before deciding. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the shop itself has such a quaint country charm. There were tons of unique flavors too -- including fun Girl Scout cookie-inspired options and an amazing blueberry flavor that became my favorite. What really stood out to me was how attentive the service was. I ordered a combination cone and the server noticed a tiny bit of mint chip had mixed into the other flavor. She carefully scooped it out before serving it because she knew it would affect the flavor profile. Such a thoughtful touch and proof that they really care about the experience they give customers. Parking is easy and there is outdoor and indoor seating. Definitely worth a visit if you love homemade ice cream and kind people!

We each got a slice to go. Service was excellent, prices were decent. The place is small but I can understand why they have raving reviews. Cheesecake Machismo knows their cheesecake. Husband carried the cheesecake slices on the walk back to our hotel and kept saying he could smell them.
