I've heard so much about Tony's Flour Shop, I am so happy I recently got to check them out my self. I am almost never in Cromwell, but on this occasion I was meeting a friend and Tony's was the perfect midpoint for us. This place is so adorable on the inside, it is small and pretty intimate, but the decor is precious! There are so many toadstools (the oversized red mushrooms with polka dots) and rainbows everywhere. Tony's specialty's are all his mom's recipes. There was a delightful selection of an assortment of sweets. Of course you can get your coffees and teas too. Each month they change their drink specials. I got a slice of their Salted Caramel Pecan Blondie and a May Specialty Latte called Fay Valentine. The Blondie was rich with caramel on the outside but decadently sweet, yet crunchy. This is an indulgence for sure! The Fay Valentine is a Banana and Peanut Butter Latte, absolutely delicious! I kept slurping long after it was gone! Please go check out the restroom at Tony's, even if nature isn't calling you to go. I have never before encountered a more magical restroom. If I tell you there's Alice herself hanging upside down from the ceiling, maybe that's enough reason to go. I had a wonderful time with my friend at Tony's Flour Shop, the staff is super helpful and friendly. I cannot wait to return. read more

Whooooah! I have never wanted to brag about a breakfast sandwich in my life, but Tony's Flour Shop would be the one! I ordered three things - decaf coffee, the egg, bacon and cheese breakfast sandwich on homemade Italian bread, and a salted croissant. The breakfast sandwich was beautiful - buttered and gently toasted on the outside, soft and squishy on the inside, the bacon was perfectly crisp, and the egg wasn't runny, as I had requested. I have NEVER IN MY LIFE had bread like this; it elevated the entire thing That Salted Croissant tho! I was carb-loading double-fisted style, and it was an amazing way to end my work trip. Thank you for the Studio Ghibli stickers! I knew this place was legit when there was a bowl with giveaway stickers And the service was friendly, prompt, and helpful I will definitely be back and would STRONGLY recommend Tony's Flour Shop! read more

That pumpkin danish, tho! After hearing my friend talk about how great this place is, we finally made the trip down to Cromwell to try it for ourselves. Tony's did not disappoint! The decor is retro-themed, and cozy. Staff is friendly. They talk with you like they've known you forever! I got myself the pumpkin danish, and let me tell you, it's one of the best things I've had in awhile. So buttery and flaky, and the pumpkin was not overly spiced, which I love. We also got the chocolate chip cookie which my son enjoyed, and the cowboy cookie! I didn't order coffee this time, but will be back for a nice latte! read more

I love this cafe! I wish it was my neighborhood spot because service was fantastic, retro aesthetics were great, and the drinks and treats were all amazing! I got the stonewall stone fruit which was a part of their Pride menu. Green tea and peach made for a perfect refresher. I would probably make mine a bit sweeter next time but the flavors are natural and delicious. The vertical chessboard lives rent free in my head btw! read more

Was in the local area w other Yelp elite friends and planned to stop since a regular customer recommended it and it was my 1st time visit and won't be my last. I really liked and enjoyed the little pastry that is available. Tony is a very friendly and welcoming as well as the other staff that waited on me. Their drink specials change monthly you can find those listed and pictured on his Instagram or Facebook page. I didn't get any drinks but my other friends did and raved how awesome they are. I just got pastries to go so my family can try them as well. They all loved them all but the lime cookie is a definitely a must try. The ingredients they use are top notch and they don't scamp. Definitely will be returning just wish this shop was in my local area. If you're in the area plan to stop and check it out as you won't be disappointed. read more

Most people who have ever walked into Tony's and bought something to go are really missing one part of their success trifecta of great food, super service and AMBIENCE. The ambience is wonderful [and my home away from home]! Come in and sit down when you get a chance to relax and enjoy a culinary masterpiece while 'peacing' out. This place is a gem. read more

Absolutely love this little Pastry and coffee shop. Tony is very friendly and welcoming as well as the other staff that have waited on me. Their drink specials change monthly you can find those listed and pictured on his Instagram or Facebook page. I absolutely loved the Oscar Wilde Blueberry Matcha they just had for the month of June. I went in 3 times to get that drink. They put a lot of thought and detail into creating and naming all their treats and drinks specials. He makes a really good Rainbow cookie as well. If you're in the area I would definitely say stop by and make a purchase from him and support his little growing business. read more

Last minute brunch decision We decided to give this new coffee shop a try. Modern but cozy decor, more like new age style. Small but well lit. Food was good but a but a bit pricey for size and my taste. it need more variety in cold drinks. Service was good a little standoffish possibly because he got busy. This place seems more designed for a younger crowd. read more

Tony's Flour Shop is a newer bakery and coffee shop located, if memory serves, in the former Hot Taco Street Kitchen space. Given the review scores and what I'm seeing on Instagram, Tony's obviously has its fans and you should check it out, but I didn't connect with Tony's in the way that others apparently do. First of all, service was very helpful and friendly. A definite selling point. And while the shop is small, it's cute and there is some seating. I ordered a black iced coffee and three pastries to go. The coffee was pretty good. I didn't see any visible bags of beans, which in my experience means that a place isn't using coffee from a well know craft roaster like Giv. A place would want to highlight that since there is more expense involved. It tasted like the coffee was probably a medium dark roast of a blend made with mostly South and/or Central American beans. But I'm guessing. The coffee was certainly fine, but not a selling point for me. Perhaps they're very good at making specialty coffee beverages, but that isn't what I drink. I visit a lot of high end CT bakeries. Compared to most CT Bakeries, Tony's has a smaller case of goods. There's something about the shock and awe of seeing a giant case of beautiful baked goods. Tony's isn't large enough to have something like that. I sampled an almond bar, a brioche cinnamon roll and a Parmesan Leek Croissant with a lattice top. The almond bar needed more salt to balance the flavors, and a bit of acidity would have helped as well. The cinnamon roll also seemed like it needed a bit of salt and something else to take it to the next level. I didn't enjoy the filling of the Parmesan Leek Croissant. I don't think I've ever had this combo in a croissant, but either way, it just didn't work for me. On the plus side, the texture of the croissant was good. And the pastries certainly seemed fresh. Again, many people seem to like Tony's and you should check it out for yourself. For me, I prefer other places equally close to my home. 3.25 Stars read more

What a treasure Tony's Flour Shop is--it's like a ray of sunshine when you walk through the door. I was instantly drawn to the warm colors and retro/MCM decor. They are newly open, the staff were very welcoming, helpful, and gave out samples of a baked good to try. Tony himself was welcoming guests with a lot of contagious positive energy and everyone seemed to know him (even the kids). On this visit, we got a fresh loaf of Anna Mae's Cheese Bread. They do have a large bread slicer, but loaf was minutes from the oven and they weren't unable to slice it for us. The bread was THAT fresh and smelled so good. We also got a couple of Key Lime Poppyseed Muffin. I love lemon poppyseed muffins so had to try them. The key lime flavor came through very well and the glaze topping had a sour bite (think of Sour Patch Kids). I would definitely get them again. Afterwards, I wished we had bought more goodies since these were delicious. The bakery items are limited, but items rotate from cookie, pies, pastries, cakes, and breads. They, surprisingly, have a lot of vegan and gluten-free options. We also HAD to try the November coffee specials: Bourbon Sweet Potato Latte and Spiced Orange Cran-a-ccino. These were DELICIOUS. The Spiced Orange Cran-accino was my favorite because of the warm spices and a touch of orange/cranberry reminded me of the holidays. The regular drink menu is also limited, offering a few coffee, hot chocolate and tea options. I forgot to ask what coffee and tea they are brewing, but the names of the teas sound interesting I hope to try next. Tony's Flour Shop is small, I wish there were more tables and seating. During our visit, all seats were occupied which was sad because I would had loved to enjoyed my coffee and muffin there. For parking, there is additional spaces in the back of the building and a rear entrance. I look forward to returning to Tony's Flour Shop and I'll definitely buy a few more baked goodies to stock up for home. read more

Came to Tony's specifically for some savory Thanksgiving bread. I was greeted by three friendly staff and was offered a sample of their Thanksgiving sandwich bread. It literally tasted like stuffing for those post Thanksgiving sandwiches. Yum I opted in for the potato onion bread loaf, and cannot wait to try it. They also had a cranberry bread, Italian rolls, cheese bread, and their Thanksgiving loaf. The prices are what you'd expect for an artisan bakery. They have pies, cookies, and other pastries, as well as various breads and coffee. There is a nice little cozy area to enjoy your tasty treats. read more

Such a cute shop! Definitely feel like everyone who comes in knows Tony personally and he seems like a genuine guy! Lots of unique baked goods I wish we tried. We ordered coffees and they were just OK but I love how their syrups are housemade! They were VERY busy on a Sunday afternoon around 12 which is awesome for them, but the staff seemed overwhelmed. We'll definitely have to give it another go when it's quieter. read more

I've visited Tony's a few times and overall it's a cool new addition to the food scene in Cromwell. Service has been friendly and I love the authenticity. In terms of their offering, for the most part I've liked everything I've gotten. They make very good hot chocolate and offer different options - dark, milk, white. The coffee is A-OK. The baked goods I've tried have been mixed. There was a chocolate walnut roll that I really liked and they make a very very good cheese danish. Their cinnamon rolls are a different spin. While I appreciate the creativity, nothing beats the ooey gooey you come to expect from a cinnamon roll and these don't hit that mark. I also tried almond joy cupcakes. While the cake had a nice flavor, they were extremely dry. I wasn't sure if it was because of when they were baked compared to when I purchased or just no moisture in the recipe. But there's more than enough variety to try something new each visit and see. read more

Great bakery, that now offers some paninis. I've stopped by a few times now for some treats and have been pleasantly satisfied. Everything they make is terrific. This week I had the cookie dough croissant, a cinnamon danish thing, and a peanut butter bar. All of it put me into a sugar coma, but that's ok. Very rich and buttery too. Prices are fair, and service is friendly. I don't like the location of the ordering line as soon as you open the door which makes it an awkward move for people trying to come in when they are busy. But overall, the food and service are worth it. There is an area inside to sit and relax and enjoy a coffee, and a danish. A very friendly-for-all atmosphere. They seem to revolve their menu quite a bit, which is good and makes you want to keep coming back to see what's new. read more

Such a sweet family coffee and pastry shop. Everything is delicious. Love stopping in here for lattes and cappuccino and some muffins and other sweets. They also have kids size hot drinks which they ask if you want "kid temperature." Very helpful. read more

How far would one drive for an almond croissant? The answer my friend is at least 28 miles because that is how far I drove this morning for one of Tony's fresh and delicious pastries.

We arrived at tonys for the first time on super bowl sunday after a snow storm. We were greeted by thd owners and they were very nice and offered us their specials of the day. One was sweet breakfast fried dough with a maple glaze and a savory breakfast fried dough with mozzarella cheese and I mean, tomato sauce with an egg. Both were FANTASTIC!!!! We also had two hot beverages, one was a hot white chcocolate with whipped cream which made a great contrast to the savory breakfast fried dough. The other was a matcha latte the was amazing. We'll definetly be back read more

Tony's Flour Shop is amazing! Not only is Tony himself a super friendly cool guy, his baked goods are phenomenal! Follow Tony's Flour Shop on Facebook as that's where he posts his daily menu. It does change day to day, but he also takes special orders. We have tried almost everything that he makes. We go in several times a month and will drive to a farmer's market or other event if we know he'll be there. Everything is fantastic! Pepperoni bread, his speciality stuffed breads (such as meatloaf or chicken tikka masala), brownies, cookies, filled cookies, tarts, all amazing! And go early on Saturday if you want the cinnamon babka rolls. They sell out fast and they are worth an early wake-up time on Saturday to go get them!! Follow him on Facebook and you'll see the amazingness for yourself - you won't be able to stop yourself from hopping in your car to go get some. It's a small shop, but he does take credit cards and Apple Pay. read more

Fabulous people! Fabulous food! Just what Cromwell needed- inclusive space with kindness and quality food.

Stopped in to try out some of their June specials! Had the "Peanut Buttigieg"- an iced peanut butter latte. It was SO good and they were able to accommodate my dairy allergy. Also got a blueberry muffin, which was tasty! Would have liked a little bit more in terms of food/pastry options, but will be back for the coffee and vibes! read more

Tony's has become one of my go to coffee shops! The peanut butter iced latte is just tooo good. All the workers are super friendly as well.

I've been following Tony's on Facebook for months, salivating as I read each week's offerings - but since I live a half hour away, I hadn't been able to get there until this week. I just wish we had a great shop like this in my town. I had a delicious latte and a brioche cinnamon bun - heavenly! And I've been enjoying my Sunshine Loaf every morning since then, either just as toast with jam or avocado toast. Can't wait to get back! read more

You know the moment you step in here that you're in for something great. You're immediately enveloped by the heavenly smell of great baking. Although a boutique/artisan shop, the menu is almost overwhelming with choices of savory and sweet treats. There are samples out of many of the items. Warning - if you try them you will be very likely to buy them. We opted for a stuffed Italian bread with provolone, Italian meats, and roasted reds, and a kielbasa bread along with some sweet treats that were amazing. Tony and Kelly are super sweet people and I could have spent my entire morning in their shop. Do not miss out on this super cool spot! read more
