    Obscure but welcoming entryway
    Rusty O.

    This place is obscure and a little bit hard to find unless you have navigation! But once you find the front door and walk through, you are greeted warmly with many smiles from the workers, and the smell of fresh baked goods I came specifically for the sourdough bread and there it was sitting in the showcase ready to rock! I purchased a sliced loaf As I was looking through the showcase, I saw these blueberry scones that looked beautiful, and the love was showing through. They were talking to me. I said to the friendly server "I'll take three!" This place is a must try and a hidden gem for all to visit at least once! Here, take my money! I will be back!

    This bakery opened in 2023. There's also another location in Gastro Park West Hartford. This location in Avon was very cute. There were some seating and service was good. I know they're known for their baked goods, sandwiches, and coffee. On this visit, I ordered some treats such as chocolate chocolate cookies, muffin, and croissants. They're known for their sourdough cinnamon rolls and croissants; it usually sells out quickly. What I've tried was very good and can't wait to go back and try out more of their stuff.

    crossiant bacon breakfast sandwich

    first of all i don't come here often but when i do it's always a home run! i tried the breakfast sandwich today and it was so good. really pricey though, that's my only complaint. the total was $18 and some change. which is absurd to me for a breakfast sandwich. however, it was fresh, delicious, and filling! so i guess it was breakfast and lunch. also the croissant was nice and crispy. 10/10. hits the spot for a pregnant mama:) also the inside is nice, cozy, and clean. customer service was excellent. i would come back more often if i could! overall, a great morning!

    Back home, and my favorite part about New England are the quaint coffee shops that make me feel like I'm in an overcast day of Gilmore Girls. I can't write enough good things about my first impression of Small State Provisions. I have many go-to's for local coffee shops around here, and somehow it's trumped them all. The real kicker for me along with the quality, energy of the shop, and delicious flavors... is the affordability. I got a large, frothy, whole-milk latte and a gooey molasses cookie for the price of what would be one grande latte at Starbucks. I was able to get my work done and enjoy the atmosphere with one of my new favorite lattes to date! And the team was so kind. Kudos!

    "Well from small things, mama Big things one day come" (Bruce Springsteen) We had a lovely visit and breakfast at Small State! As we walked in we were greeted by a super friendly young lady who guided us through the day's pastries and breakfast sandwiches. I was pretty hungry so checked out their two breakfast sandwiches. One was a traditional egg and cheese, but the other one was a Jambon Beurre that caught my eye. It was a baguette with ham, cheese and butter. Not exactly a low calorie option, but holy cannoli was it great. The roll was a great combination of crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a pretty thick combination of ham and cheese nestled inside the buttered baguette. It was $9 and I thought it was a pretty great value. My wife went with a blueberry scone ($4) that she enjoyed as well. Our two coffees were a reasonable $2 apiece. We sat at a table for two inside, and noticed they had a few outside tables as well. Small State also sells a nice variety of Sourdough Breads, Baguettes, a Rosemary Focaccia, a Japanese Milk Bread, plus scones, muffins, a Banana Bread, a Gluten Free Cake, Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies, Chewy Ginger Cookies, those two Breakfast Sandwiches, and some lunch sandwiches (how about a Curry Roasted Cauliflower 'Banh Mi')? I also heard they make pizzas once a week, so you can bring that next door to the Hopmeadow Brewery and enjoy the Nobel Prize winning combination of pizza and beer.

    I've been a Small State fan since the early GastroPark days and I visited in Weekend No. 2 of the new Avon launch. Small State is a craft bakery that focuses on a smaller number of high quality baked goods compared to some other bakeries with more variety. In their earliest days, sourdough bread was a particular focus, but their expanded offerings include things such as scones, muffins, cookies, milk bread, baguettes, cinnamon rolls, occasional pizza nights, vegetarian sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches, granola, etc. In my experience, they execute at a very high level. Those used to waiting their turn to walk through the thin Small State door at GastroPark, will appreciate the large Avon space. You can see the available baked goods as you wait in line. There are also several tables for dine in. On my visit to Avon, I bought a loaf of milk bread, 3 cinnamon rolls with cherry icing, a blondie, a cheddar pecan scone and a chocolate chip cookie. All of these items were great. I'm not a pro baker, but I think Small State typically tries to start with a sourdough base when possible. Their chocolate chip cookies have visible salt crystals, and the sweet salt contrast is awesome. The crispy scone is one of my favorites and has great dairy and salt flavor. This was my first time ordering their milk bread, which I believe is a Japanese style of white bread. The large golden loaf had a three ring circus of a top, and it was delicious as thick buttered toast. The cherry icing on the cinnamon roll was vibrant, organic and tasty. The blondie was soft, crumbly deliciousness. The Avon Small State sells coffee beverages made with coffee beans roasted by their GastroPark neighbor Alvarium. They also sell the Alvarium beans. Alvarium is one of my favorite CT Roasters and my black cold brew was very good. I applaud Small State for their efficiency in managing a large number of customers. The line went more quickly than I would have guessed. Small State is off to a great start, and Avon is lucky to have them. Five Starts.

    It's finally here. We've been waiting for this ever since they announced last year that they were opening. This new place (the original is still operating at GastroPark) is just a gem of a place. It's a bakery/cafe all in one with a ton of baked goods to eat. We stopped by on Day 2 and a Kevin Masse, the owner, was handing out free salted chocolate chip cookies. I had planned to hold on to it but in the time we waited to order, I had scarfed it down. It was so good. Then we had to decide what to order. We got a Japanese Milk Bread for use later. I got a everything scone which was really different and good. While I've had everything bagels, I've never had it with a scone. Thankfully it worked more than it should. It helps the scone is fresh and not dry so it ended up being something I'll get time and again. A little salt, a little sweet. Just really interesting and different. My dining companion got the banana bread. Good stuff. Perhaps the biggest surprise was the coffee which was excellent. I got a cafe americano and it was so smooth and flavorful. Inside has some seating with a bit of an industrial feel. Given the location, I have no doubt I'll be back time and again. This place will be here for a long time.

    Small State Provisions is one of my favorite bakeries. The pastries are always a delight and well displayed in a clean, inviting environment with friendly staff always willing to help. They excel at laminated dough pastries, something that is lacking elsewhere in the area. I enthusiastically will drive 30 minutes one-way just to pick up pastries from them on weekends. On top of that, their cinnamon buns are phenomenal--well balanced between salty and sweet and so darn fluffy. Follow their Instagram to get a sneak peek of what they'll be offering daily. Highly recommend.

    pumpkin chocolate chip loaf with a latte
    Anne S.

    Enjoyed a Saturday morning there, sharing good eats with my husband -- having a breakfast sandwich, latte, and a slice of the pumpkin chocolate chip bread (although I only took a bite and brought the rest home for my son). What originally brought us in was the desire to buy a sourdough boule, as we had a wonderful meal at Millwright's which used sourdough from Small State Provisions in one dish. (Although my husband's homemade sourdough made from a starter originating out of San Francisco that has been going for years is probably the best sourdough we think we've had...) Small State Provisions has been the best we've come across for sale in CT thus far. The outer crust is crispy and a caramelized brown color, and it has a good, well-developed crumb on the inside. It's just classic. My only complaint is the limited seating, and with the seating that is there, there are tiny bistro tables, and the seats are small bistro folding chairs

First off, it's definitely one of those small, tucked-away spots you could easily miss if you didn't know it was there, but once you walk in, the decor is so cute. Think cozy, shabby chic vibes that make it feel warm and welcoming right away. The standout for me? The dinner roll. Honestly, one of the best I've ever had. It was dense, rich, and satisfying, not your typical light, airy Kaiser roll. It reminded me more of a Jamaican hard dough bread in texture and weight, which I personally loved. Super flavorful and filling. I was also really happy about their buy three, get one free promotion. It made it easy to try a few different things without feeling like I was overdoing it. As for the pastries, I tried the cinnamon roll and carrot cake. I didn't finish either, but the carrot cake definitely gave true homemade vibes. It had coconut mixed in, wasn't overly sweet, and felt more traditional than indulgent. If you like a less sugary, more classic-style carrot cake, you'll probably appreciate it. Overall, this bakery is worth a stop, especially if you're exploring the pastry trail. Not everything wowed me, but there were definitely some highlights that made it a good visit.

Watch carefully for the signs, because the plaza is a little nondescript from the road.

I find that most bakeries drown their flavors in sugar, glazes, and frosting, while the pastries offered at Le Banh Patisserie deliver the perfect balance of taste and texture without being cloyingly sweet. If you are a fan of crossaints, you owe it to yourself to give these a try - they are golden and flaky on the outside with an incredibly buttery and airy center, and baked to perfection. Whether you choose the almond, chocolate, or classic butter, I guarantee you won't be disappointed, and will likely feel as if you just stepped out of a Parisian café. The scones are equally delightful with a crisp exterior while remaining soft and moist in the middle, and abounding in flavor. Also, be sure to grab a Doodle cookie (or two) before you go, and give the Vietnamese coffee a try - you'll be glad you did. Above all else, the owner/baker is one of the friendliest and most personable people you are likely to meet, and I could have spent the entire afternoon talking with her. After complimenting her on the quality of her treats and contemplating the lack of decent bakeries in the area, she was generous enough to recommend other establishments which she thought would be worth trying. In addition, after telling her I would love to possess her skill, she encouraged me to give it a try and even gave me a few resources with which to begin my baking journey. Overall, I can highly recommend this hidden gem as perhaps the finest confectionary I have ever had the good fortune to stumble across, and would honestly suggest to anyone that they would be doing themselves an incredible disservice by failing to stop in one afternoon and give Le Banh Patisserie a try​

We enjoyed the omelette (if you order more than 3 ingredients there's a charge) and the village breakfast which was eggs, potatoes (slightly blackened), sourdough toast (or wheat) and bacon. Prices are fairly standard ($11-14) and portions not very large. The panetonne, toasted coconut, and chocolate chip scones ($5 each) were all good and baked well. The honey latte and hot chocolate (most drinks are $4-8) were also very creamy and delicious, though slightly too sweet for our tastes (made it taste good though!) You order at the counter and then take a table and place a marker with nice words like "love" and then your food is brought to you. The actual space is very inviting, with lots of nooks and crannies (tables with chairs, couches, a fireplace). They also sell t-shirts ($30) and sweatshirts ($40-50?) which are pretty soft material, as well as ground coffee, cards, granola, etc. The other half of their space is their homemade pasta place so it's a unique layout and looked fun as well. There were plenty of customers cycling in and out, many sitting down with a warm drink and a pastry. Parking isn't huge but was not super super small but could be an issue if they got an influx of folks hanging out. Wouldn't blame them though because it's a comfortable place with free wifi.
