We were driving to Sayulita for a late lunch on Saturday when we drove by Harpo's Bakery. We gave…read moreeach other a knowing look and silently agreed we'd swing by after lunch. They close at 3:00 on Saturday and we walked in pretty close to that time. The cookie case on the left was still full, the pastry shelves were empty as the goods had been taken to the back, but we did see some cakes out on the right side of the store. The young lady that helped us was great -she said that they had a lot in the back, so what where we looking for? We asked for a chocolate croissant and a cinnamon bun, and while she was packaging them up, we spied a great looking mini loaf of chocolate chip banana bread that became art of our order. The cinnamon bun was great -super fresh, super moist with a great sweet cinnamon filling and vanilla icing on top. The croissant wasn't as good -it tasted stale and we were disappointed. The chocolate chip banana bread was fantastic -super fresh, super moist, bursting with banana flavor and lots of yummy chocolate chips. So asides for that clunker of a croissant, we were very happy with our other two purchases, and the sweet young lady that helpedus.

"I walked in, the baker said everything was sold I found out…read moreshe saved me some sweet jelly roll Yes, the baker shop boogie" (Willie Nix) Definitely a worthwhile visit! The store is pretty large with an oversized bakery display case showing off their classic bakery goods - think gorgeous cakes, pastries, and cookies. And to make your visit even more worthwhile is a restaurant with a sweet breakfast and lunch menu. We visited yesterday and had a very nice breakfast in their large dining room. There is plenty of seating and plenty of parking too. I had a Veggie Breakfast Burrito ($10.50) with sauteed onions, peppers, spinach, grilled portobello mushrooms, American cheese, and diced tomatoes on a spinach tortilla, It was excellent and the size of that burrito made it a decent value for the price. My wife had a $7.49 Ham, Egg & Cheese breakfast sandwich with an additional $1 bagel surcharge. It was a big bagel, and as you can see from our photo, there were three big ham slices included. Very good coffees were $3.59 each. On the way out, those gorgeous pastries in the showcase whispered sweet nothings in my ear, and helpless to resist, we ordered an Apple Pocket ($2.99) and a Chocolate Croissant ($3.25). How reasonable are those prices? We also saw that Marlborough has a refrigerated case with Grab and Go meals and stuffed breads. They are open from 6AM - 6PM on weekdays and 6AM - 3PM on weekends. We are now fans.

When my wife worked in West Hartford, Elmwood was a popular office destination for lunch, because they gave you a free cookie with every sandwich! Their menu is an embarrassment of tempting riches, with pastries, pies, deli and breakfast sandwiches, cookies, cupcakes, donuts, full cakes, breads, and rolls of every flavor and description. We stopped in yesterday for a few assorted odds and ends- cookies, donuts, and a wonderful loaf of soft rye bread. There are plenty of old-time bakeries across Connecticut, and like everyone, I'm sure you have your favorites. Elmwood should be on your list, too.

I love that the owners grind their own gingerbread spices, and you get that nice warmth of fresh ginger in every bite. It was a little dense, but made up in flavor 110%! The icing was not too sweet, and actually let the spices shine! When I'm too lazy to bake my own sourdough, this is my go to spot. They also make TRUE pumpernickel!! IYKYK!

Their bakery is amazing -with wonderful looking breads, rolls, pastries, cupcakes, pies, Danish, cookies, donuts and specialized goodies in every shape, color, and description under the sun. Today, we picked up a gorgeous loaf of marble rye bread, six of their famous handmade donuts, and three Danish. I had a glazed donut this afternoon and it was light, sweet and pretty much fantastic. Can't wait to check out the rest of our purchase.

Especially fond of anything with milk bread as it's so fluffy. The cake we got was the basic/ classic one with strawberries. It was delicious! Not overly sweet, the whipped cream was light and fresh and of course the strawberries looked perfect. A pleasant surprise is how they box it up- looks luxurious and comes with a little disposable spatula accompanied with a couple matches and thin candles!!! Unexpected but perfect since of course we were not prepared with candles that my toddler insisted to blow out. Will return to try some of those amazing looking drinks and to try more baked goods!
