Everything is so fresh and beautifully displayed. The employees are beyond friendly. The halfmoons are the epitome of deliciousness. Amazing tomato pie! The list goes on and on. Do yourself a favor and try a jelly bun! I promise you won't be disappointed. I may only get here once a year now, but it's definitely worth the 3.5 hour drive!

I've lived in a number of cities around the country and can confidently say that this isn't just the best pastry shop I've tried in Upstate NY, but it's the best I've ever tried. The staff is extremely welcoming, kind, helpful, and patient through the ordering process and I love that it's run and owned by a local family. Although I don't live in the area, I order them frequently to send to friends and family and always visit when I'm in town. I consistently get excellent feedback on how much everyone LOVES their pastries which always look as good as they taste. I also appreciate that you can order a variety of mini pastries in advance. Their new location is beautiful, very clean, and a great place to meet for coffee or get some work done. They have an expansive menu with a number of unique flavor options. They're also very innovative because in addition to all of the usual staples, they also offer new, creative takes classic pastries like their flavored cannoli fillings. Highly recommend.

Both I and my partner got paninis, which took about 15 minutes, which felt like a bit too long for a counter service place, though I understand that paninis take time. The BLT panini was a bit greasy, but overall the flavor was good. The Chick-fil-a panini was not as greasy, but overall underwhelming. It was served in a classic American basket with chips, which felt out of place for a Cafe inspired by Italy. They primarily serve pastries, but I have never tried any of them. The coffee was very good... on Google this is the first place that pops up if you search for affogato in the area but they do NOT serve affogato, which I knew coming in due to having been here before, but just putting this in here in case anyone else is looking for an affogato spot! The Cafe is located in a shopping center with plenty of parking... doesn't feel very pedestrian friendly but there is a beautiful terrace for customers which adds to the European vibe.

They do offer dine in though it seemed most of their business was to go... but we dined in as there is nothing better than a pie right out of the oven.
