Luckily for me the lovely owner, took time to explain what each treat was and how they tasted. She even offered to let me try the shortbread before I bought some. I ended up grabbing a box of goodies and I was shocked at how reasonably priced she was. Upon arriving home I immediately tried the English Bakewell tart. It was lovely, I can best describe the taste as a cake on top with a buttery crust on the bottom. The shortbread is really good too, a buttery crumbly bite which is her mother's recipe. Such a cute spot with a wonderfully sweet owner.

Nothing crazy. We were greeted by a taller big guy kindly at first-- that is until he heard our order. As soon as he heard that we wanted to pick our own cookies, he huffed and sighed taking out the box...which fine, we have both worked retail and understand the mid-day burn out. We decide to keep the box light with 8 cookies. Instead, he points to the pre-packaged cookies with about 30 cookies wrapped up. I look at them and thank him for the offer, but that we would like a smaller amount. Another head shake and sigh. We proceed to pick out our cookies and thank him heartily...all with no reply from him. We were simply coming in to order cookies and left feeling like we did something wrong. After that negative interaction, we decided to shake it off and eat some cookies in our car by the beach. Unfortunately, our cookies were stale and many of the cookies tasted the same despite being completely different kinds...2/5 experience, however I will update with another visit to see if that changes or if I just came at a bad time. Edit: Owners do not seem to care about reviews here. Updated to a 1/5 stars.

The shop is really bright and welcoming, and smells great. I went to the bakery area where I was quickly greeted. I spent a bit of time looking through all their options but immediately opted for the strawberry cheese cake and lemon drop cupcakes. As soon as I stated this I noticed their dipped cupcakes which looked great, I guess something I'll have to come back for. I was quickly given my cupcakes and my total was about $7. Both cupcakes were delicious. I could taste all the flavors and would happily eat both again. Given how close I live, it's a bit dangerous to be so conveniently located. I'll definitely be back

Located across from Starbucks and Cedars Steakhouse at Foxwoods Resort Casino this little candy…read moreshop opened during Labor Day Weekend this year (2014) as part of the casinos retail concourse face lift. While small, this place really packs a punch with it's charm and variety of offerings. The staff tries to great everyone who comes in and the decor is very colorful/whimsical featuring a chandelier that looks like it's made of different colors of rock candy and chocolate sculptures. There seems to be a few different sections...Jelly Belly, M&Ms, retro candy, seasonal stuff, jewelry, gummies, pillows (some scented!), stationary, bacon themed stuff (wha?), loose individually wrapped candy you can buy by the pound (reasonable at $7.95 and since it's wrapped you can put some back if you think you are spending too much), and a bakery case that holds really fancy cupcakes and Cronuts (croissant donuts). For being in the casino the prices are really reasonable on most things and downright cheap on other things (you can get a lolly pop for 25 cents or a huge pixy stick for 75 cents). The things that run a premium on price seems to be the jewelry, a few of the stuffed animals, and the cupcakes/cronuts. That said they offer discounts for veterans, tribal members, and certain players cards (King, Ace, Royal) and take players points. I got a seasonal set of jelly bellys that had eggnog and candy cane flavors that were great and a selection of cupcakes and cronuts to try with my friends. If you want to splurge I TOTALLY recommend a pumpkin spice cronut (although Cinnamon Sugar and Maple Pecan were awesome too). SOOO GOOD...while I didn't get a ton of pumpkin flavor, I got that melt on your tongue nutmeggy cinnamon sweetness that was just amazing. The Cookies & Cream, Salted Caramel, and S'more cupcakes were REALLY good too. Very rich though.. glass of milk or coffee is definitely a must nearby. There is a lot of icing/filling to cake ratio (which I enjoy) and they are very pretty so I definitely feel like I'm getting a special treat for the price. Overall I say take a quick cruise through to see if they have anything to interest you (or samples they do from time to time) and then you'll know where to go to get a fairly decent priced sweet treat to sit with you at your table/slot machine/during a show/or after dinner.

At the suggestion of my Yelp friend Anne C, I visited A Cupcake for Later while I was in…read moreWillimantic for the day. Appropriately, I was not buying cupcakes for contemporaneous consumption. They were indeed for . . . Later. I bought 5 different flavors to share with my family. I bought two lemon, because I definitely wanted to try the lemon. I also bought a Chocolate Peanut Butter, a Biscoff,, a Salted Caramel Butter Pecan, and a Strawberry. I tried the lemon and the Salted Caramel. The cake and icing in both were fresh, and had good flavor and texture. The flavors were accurate to description. There was a small reservoir of flavoring that extended from the bottom of the icing layer into the cake. That's always a nice touch in my book. My one note rating-wise, is that the cupcakes were not as ornate as the top tier CT cupcake places I've been to. Still tasty though. The shop was more functional than cute, but it was definitely professional and clean. Service was helpful and friendly. 4.25 Stars

I ordered cupcakes for a birthday celebration for my husband who lives in a nursing facility. I picked them up the day before and they were perfectly packaged for travel. After keeping them refrigerated as required they were fluffy and delicious. The fillings and toppings so rich and fresh! They disappeared as if by magic! I sampled the lemon cream, Boston cream and the carrot cake. But the menu is quite large and price points vary by size and "fanciness." You're sure to find something delicious for an event or just to have with a cup of tea. They make cakes as well from small size to all size wedding cakes. The service was flawless from phone order to pickup and the staff was friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this wonderful spot for a treat for now ... or later!

The shop is smaller, but clean, cute and easy to pop in and out. The area of Newport where it is, is very nice. I enjoyed both of these cupcakes a lot. The lemon curd filling in the lemon was super good. Both cupcakes were moist, not too rich, and the frosting was amazing. It still had a very "frosting" flavor but it was thick and creamy enough to hold its shape, but not totally like you're just eating sugar. The chocolate raspberry cupcake was amazing. The raspberry frosting is extremely memorable and the chocolate flavor of the cupcake was very good. I am a big vanilla cake fan, as a lot of chocolate cake sometimes tastes funky, but I assure you this one is very good. The girl at the counter was very nice, and helpful with other customers questions. I recommend!
