The most adorable Italian Deli. This place was exactly what we were looking for when we pulled off…read moreroute 84 to grab lunch on our way from NJ to Maine. The Italian combo sandwich hit the spot but the best part was walking thru the kitchen to the restroom and seeing a Nonna cooking in the kitchen. Service was A+ and the prices were great too. A great find in Waterbury CT.

Every time I come here it gets better and better…read more If you're in the area and considering the fast casual/chains in the area that serve sandwiches, take 5 seconds to find this place. You'll thank me. I'm getting more brave and ordering custom combinations. They'll literally do anything possible to create your masterpiece. Terrific price and value for the money.

We've been coming here for a few years and love the cupcakes. Many unique flavors and always moist…read moreand delicious. The staff is very friendly and the store is extremely clean. Very fun vibe. The only thing we don't like are the other desserts in the case. There has only been one thing that we have enjoyed, and it was a Mango Toaster Pastry from our first visit. Other than that, we find the brownies, cookies, etc. to be pretty average...sometimes too sweet, sometimes too bland. Cupcakes are their specialty for sure, and we'll keep coming back for those.

Gluten-free yummy cupcakes are offered alongside their regular cupcakes, cookies, scones and more…read more Cupcakes are soft and fluffy. This spot has sit, stay and snack for awhile vibes. There are different seating options including a back room which houses a beautiful yellow sofa, blue chairs, coffee table, and three arcade games. There is also a large room downstairs to rent out for gatherings such as birthday parties. Such a nice idea! The gluten-free cupcakes were soft, rich and yummy. I wish I had more. There was a really nice guy working the day I came in. He has been working for Hardcore Sweet Bakery for two years. He was very helpful and answered all of my many questions. He's a keeper! The only thing this place is missing is coffee. Then it would be absolutely perfect. Love this place! Snack and stay awhile.

This is one of the best bakeries. Their treats are so buttery and taste absolutely delightful…read more Everything is so beautiful and gives the look of artistry. I love the pineapple coconut cookies. I've eaten them for years. They are delicate yet the flavor of pineapple and coconut work so well together. The cookies are moist and soft. They are such a joy to bite into. This day I also tried the toasted almond cupcake. While beautiful, it was extremely sweet, even for me. I couldn't eat it in one sitting. I don't think I'd ever purchase it again. It does remind you of the good humor toasted almond ice cream bars that were discontinued. But I just wish the topping wasn't so sweet. The cake was blander to complement the icing but it just wasn't for me. If you are looking to host an event or surprise a friend, i think treats from this bakery say I love you! There is so much variety that you should be able to find something for anyone. I took one star off because the staff isn't too conversational which takes away from the experience. .

So very disappointed! It has been years since I bought a cake at Sweet Maria's. 2 of my kids have…read morebirthday's this month so I figured why not. Besides the fact that I spent 62.00 on an 8inch round very berry cake was ridiculous in itself. The cake was nothing like I remember it being years ago. By far the worst frosting I have ever had. You know it is bad when 15 people took a slice and most of it ended up in the garbage. The frosting was nasty. My daughter said it tasted like wax smells. It tasted nothing like whipped cream. Way over priced not worth it. I will be calling tomorrow to let them know how horrible it was.

What a local gem! Went in on a Sunday morning and it was busy! Me and a few people in line just…read morewaiting to get some delicious pastries. They are primarily a Portuguese bakery but they also have other baked goods such as cannolis, croissants, and much more. Every pastry I had was amazing! They are most known for their egg tarts, my personal favorite was the nutella. Everything was extremely affordable. I got 13 baked goods for only $18. I will definitely be coming back here for more.

Very welcoming. It's a street parking. Usually there are spots in front of the bakery. I usually come there after work. However, make sure not to come so late as the tarts sell fast like hot pies. Lol. I highly recommend this bakery.

I purchased a caramel cupcake, 2 glazed donuts, and a cinnamon sugar donut and let me say my companions and I absolutely devoured them! The caramel cupcake was incredibly moist and flavorful with a perfect amount of sweet with the filling and frosting. The service was fairly quick however we did arrive about an hour before they closed so I wasn't expecting to see many people anyways. The store itself is very cute and much larger than expected.
