Bakeries near Montville

“This review is only for the crème brûlée pastry pocket which was exceptionally delicious. The pastry itself had a flavor reminiscent of shortbread and the brûlée was really nice. We also bought two slices of cake, they are both pretty large and have some weird to them. Just hope they taste good!“

“Some boutique business owners think their way of doing things are the best. Even when given constructive criticism, they don't budge... not even... we will look into it... and never do...you don't have to but acknowledging that possibly the input provided was worthy of investigation is probably the right thing..not self righteous talking over the person calling in and basically not listening or even pretending to listen. Some of your clients may not be complaining but would if they thought they could. Offering money back is nice...good job there. Everything else I ever purchased there was very good. I expect that 1 dessert type item at restaurant prices would be delicious...not dry, tasteless, and nothing like the name it was sold as...call it a dry bread roll with a sprinkling of cinnamon and icing to make it edible ... your comment that 1 other person complained that it wasn't like "Cinnabon" just shows your sense of superiority. I never expected it to be like that product, I expected it to be better.“

“Today my friend and I spent many hours at the bakery. It’s was a heartwarming experience for both of us since we both are parents to children with special needs. As parents I think it’s normal for us to worry about the future of our children, today we got a peek of the opportunities that are out there and it was beautiful! Thank you for showing us that there are people who love and care for those who may need a little help or guidance outside of their families. Not only way it a friendly environment but the food and coffee is amazing and I would recommend La Stella’s to anyone!!“

“The food at the village cafe is incredibly good. The meals are delicious and made with real ingredients. The owners and staff are always welcoming and go out of their way to accommodate customers. I have been going there since they opened and everything is always kept meticulously clean.“

“Great service and food, even when they are busy the line moves quickly. Everything I've had there has been delicious and you can make a preorder ahead of time for events or if you just want to guarantee you get what you want. If you're in the area for sure give them a try. The ambience is neighborly/ family friendly .“

“So finally I stopped in for my mans birthday week. It's a smaller version of mystic and limited quanity because I was looking for the lemon tart, which is absolutely delicious. They didn't have it, but the woman told me to call ahead of time to see if available next time. Got macaroons and a sugar cookie. None of the other desserts were allergy friendly for me. They also had sandwiches and baked goods. ? Just don't go in hungry. It could be bad for you. Everything looked tasty.Ya having this place close by isn't a good thing for my waist. It's also a place where you have a variety to choose from, which makes you want to keep coming back.All things pumpkin right now! Im in heaven...my go to usually is their lemon tart and oatmeal blueberry cookie. It's also nice to try something different. They had a croissant filled with pumpkin. They were going fast, but I was able to get one. It's always good when you leave and have a big smile and a sift bag.“

“I've always made my own birthday cake. I don't trust other people, because usually I end up with a gritty, overly sugary cake OR something fully dark chocolate and WAY too bitterAnna makes her cakes somewhere in between, which is absolutely amazing! She's also the best decorator I know!I used to make a big deal about baking my own cake every year... until I tried Grounded Baking's cakes!!My birthday is in October, so I tend to go for a gothic/Halloween themed cake and she ALWAYS gives me something fun and SO beautiful I don't even want to cut it up lmao!!I always order a red velvet, chocolate ganache cake and I CANNOT RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH. I'm VERY particular about the cakes I eat, and it's especially hard to find a good ganache cake, but hers are SO good! She's the ONLY person I've actually paid to make my own cake in my almost 30 years!Up until I found her bakery, I actually COMPLETELY REFUSED to order a cake from a bakery! Now I can't get enough!!I ordered a cake from her 2 birthdays ago (so this will be the third birthday since my first order) and I STILL regret not reaching out to her for my cake last year! I have to search for pictures of the first cake, I'll post them if I find themThis year, though, I couldn't even wait for my birthday and ordered a SECOND cake early on my own lol!!This time, she gave me a black frosted cake with SUPER glittery sprinkle decorations! It reminds me of dragon or mermaid scales! Last time it was a black frosted cake with red and white chocolate skulls on the top! And I'm SO EXCITED to see this years' birthday cake! I tend to give her a good amount of room to be flexible and creative in her own right, but it's ALWAYS a goth/Halloween themeAND IT'S SO HEAVY, TOO LOL!! I should have weighed the cake before I cut into it because it's crazy heavy from the ganache lol I'd say it weighs around 10 pounds or so, if I had to guessI literally cannot recommend ordering from Grounded Baking's products enough!!! It's the ONLY bakery I'm willing to recommend at all - they're my go to for every occasion!!!Thank you again, Anna!!!BTW: the pictures attached are of the glittery cake I bought BEFORE my birthday this year - I'll post pictures of my birthday cake in a few weeks as well as update this if I find the pictures from my last cake!!“

“Friendly staff, helpful with menu questions.Great parking availablity.Had a Doppio Con pana, while they weren't sure how to make it, they had no problem asking, and executing perfectly ( it's just a fancy way to say 2 shots w whip cream).Had the Basic grilled cheese, was veeeerrrry good. Big, crispy, gooey delicious-ness that is served with just enough tomato bisque to dip and enjoy. The atmosphere is nice, some people were there working on their laptops, others meeting friends for lunch. The desserts looked abs decadent, I'm looking forward to going back and trying the baklava. Recommend,vand I look forward to going back ?“

“My husband and I went to eat for the first time and the experience was great. The food was incredibly seasoned and the service was excellent. The bartender and waiter Angel was very knowledgeable in the food of his country. I recommend the restaurant for its excellent food and service.“

“Love this place! My cousin gave me a gift certificate for Christmas and I have been back a couple times since! The couple that own it are wonderfully warm and happy to see you. Very friendly and helpful. Sautéed cauliflower wrap was fantastic. Tabbouleh is amazing. Of course the deserts are insanely delicious. We will be back. ❤️“

“This place has some amazing food... It is Within walking distance to anywhere in downtown New London,CT... Bacon,egg and cheese grinders my favorite From here. The rice and beans are amazing... The lunch specials.And the pastries are second to none...Great place to stop and eat.“

“My friend and I were looking for a decent place for lunch and she recommended Oven-On. Because the bakery was packed, we decided to take our orders home. After giving our orders of steak and onions (hers) and chicken tacos and empanada for me, a table was vacated, so we stayed.While savoring the heavenly food, I was also asking other customers what their favorites were. Because no doubt, I Will Be Back!!!!“

“I have been getting their chicken salad wrap for over 6 years now. My family and I traveled from FL and made sure to stop here. It's definitely my favorite lunch spot in the entire area. They have the most delicious cinnamon sticks (kind of like a cinnamon bun). It's cozy and they accommodate food for children. My son loved getting a giant cheese tortilla they made for him growing up. The service is spectacular.“

“kind and speedy staff both at the drive thru and walk-in, fat boy with ketchup is awesome! iced cappuccino had a bit of a weird taste of a flavored sweetener in the drink but when i ordered they did say it already had sweetener in it, so it was really good for what it was!“

“We went to zest the other day. As soon as we walked in the lady behind the counter greeted us. With a smile and hello. Her name was Laura. We had a cappuccino which was excellent. Also, a scone which was very good. We will go back when we are in the area.“
