I visited modern pastry in Boston and was very pleased. I expected the same quality here and was…read morevery disappointed. I went shortly before they closed, and while they still had product, much of it felt very stale. When I asked what some of the treats were as I wanted to try a variety of "new" things, I felt I was being a bother and they just wanted me to hurry up and get out. I will go back to my favorite place in the city and skip this the next time I pass through.

First time I tried Modern Pastry was in the Boston location. The Lobster Tail pastry are huge! It…read moreliterally took three days to finish it, sharing it as well! I wish they could find a way to ship to California! We were staying in New Jersey and seen this location was close enough to take a nice 2+ hour drive to get some pastry! I called ahead to secure my lobster tails and they had 3 different flavors so of course I had to try them all to make my trip worthwhile. The Pistachio was my favorite! The lady happily took my order and I didn't even have to prepay for my order. I'm sure glad I called it in. When I arrived another lady bought up the rest in the case, mine were boxed up ready to go! Very friendly staff let us use the facilities as we had been on the road for a while. Everything was clean and smelled amazing!

I am so glad I found this place. It is a completely gluten-free space, which is always exciting to…read morefind, and they also have vegan options as well. I tried so many things, including the whoopie pie, cupcakes, cookies, and ravioli. The mushroom ravioli was my favorite of the ravioli options, but the blondie/brookie was top tier. Truly 10/10, no notes. The staff were really kind and helpful. They gave suggestions and guided us through the options, which I appreciated because there was so much to choose from. For anyone gluten-free, this place is such a gem. I would absolutely recommend stopping in and trying a little bit of everything.

As my nephews and niece were growing, they were experiencing different food allergies and sensitivities, and Dee's One Smart Cookie has been a consistently delicious and safe option for them to explore.

I ordered a cookie butter iced latte with oat milk and my friend tried their brown sugar latte. We both got yummy pastries and sat on a pink couch. It was quiet, and comfortable inside.

I love everything about Hartford to begin with but THIS just takes the (cup)cake. So I have to…read moreadmit-- I was bummed to see the poor reviews from other Yelpers. Sorry to hear about your negative experiences! After hunting down the Cupcake Brake and standing in (an entirely female) line for 20 minutes, it was finally time for my order. Gotta say, it was worth the wait. My friend opted for the Charter Oak Chocolate cupcake with brown sugar buttercream frosting. I chose the Capital: moist vanilla cake with pecans, pineapple, & banana... I also selected the brown sugar buttercream & had the cupcake filled with Boston Cream. Almost as good as the custom cupcakes are their clever CT inspired names: Plain Twain, Mohegan Mocha, Charter Oak Chocolate, Colony Carrot, Yankee Lemon & more. Keep in mind- different flavors are available on different days. Glad to see Hartford has some tasty mobile treats running around town! Now it's time to track down The Pie Brake...

According to Mr. Murphy and his laws if there is only one place to get cupcakes near I work; those…read morecupcakes will be terrible and horrible things will happen as a result of buying said cupcakes. Luckily, Murphy has never worked in Hartford and tried The Cupcake Brake. I also doubt that Murphy ever tried a cupcake or there would be a "except if there is a cupcake involved" clause to all his laws. The Cupcake Brake is a brightly coloured yellow truck that parks in different areas of Hartford each day. You can either leave getting a cupcake to the serendipitous chance of running into the truck... or if you're more aggressive about your cupcake hunting you can sign up for the email updates (on the website) or follow TheCupcakeBrake on Twitter. Larry (or as I call him "The Cupcake Man") makes phenomenal little cupcakes that really pack a powerful punch. How's that for accidental alliteration? Upon arriving at the cupcake truck you're met with an absurd amount of choices as you choose the type of cupcake base, the frosting and whether or not you'd like it filled (and if so, with what!). Decisions, decisions. My first impression upon lifting my cupcake from its nondescript white paper bag was that I should go back and order one more. It seemed smaller than the monstrous ones that have become so popular (Crumbs..). I was wrong however, and I was completely satisfied with one. The frosting was buttery and rich and not overwhelmingly sweet. The cupcake base was moist and dense, a nice contrast from the frosting. I'd ordered peanut butter filling that was nice and nutty, but I think I'll have to try the marshmallow or Boston creme next time. I finished my cupcake and had to fight the urge to try capturing the icing that had been left behind inside the bag. Take that Murphy.
