“Recently started working around the corner, all of my co workers love grabbing a coffee here. Chris is so wonderful to all of us and does a great job under pressure working solo. I used to work at a coffee shop myself and I know how hard it can be doing it alone, he does a great job and always kind. Also appreciate the fact he knows exactly how much cream cheese needs to go on a bagel. -extremely important to me- hah. But yes. The remodel is great and the morning bites,coffee and lattes are so helpful for slow sleepy mornings. Cheers ~Kat.“
“Many accolades go out to General Manager, Darien Jensen and his wait staff at the Le Pain Quotidien in New Canaan, CT, at 81 Elm St. I worked with Darien, the corporate Marketing Department and his staff in planning and executing a surprise 90th Birthday Brunch Celebration for my 90 year old Aunt and Uncle of New Canaan. We were a group of 20 relatives and friends from Connecticut, New York, Florida and as far away as the West Coast who have not seen each other in many years. What a joy and surprise for my Aunt and Uncle when they entered the restaurant to see so many dear family members and friends. There was great communication between Darien and myself over several months of planning the many details of this event. Details such as location and table set up; the baskets of the absolutely delicious muffins and pastries to start off the group; the selections of brunch items for the group and many other details. The marketing department created a menu of my chosen selections, headed and entitled with my celebrations theme and printed 20 up just for us! Extra attention from the wait staff was given from start to finish. All my guests were very pleased and happy with the menu choices and the quality and amount of the food. And I was very excited about the total cost of this delicious brunch which was very reasonable for 20 participants. I researched several other New Canaan restaurants: many cost much more per person, had minimums or were inflexible. I am so very happy that I selected Le Pain Quotidian for this birthday surprise for my aunt and uncle. After all, reaching 90 years of age is a definite reason to celebrate !“
“Raphaël's is far and away the best bakery I've ever been to. To begin with, the quality of the food is absolutely top notch across the board. I never had anything less than delicious from there and they offer a wide variety of options. From traditional French baked goods to chocolate matzo toffee bars to chocolate cookie croissants, there's always something for everyone. The ingredients are also high quality and they don't pack in any junk or preservatives (unlike grocery store bought bread which has an unnaturally long shelf life). I also love how easy is it to get here. They're right off Greenwich Ave and the area is quiet and serene. Well, quiet- ish. Since the day they opened their doors, Raphaël's often has a line out the door. Which is amazing because they opened their doors during Covid in middle of the winter - when most businesses were failing and closing. That should tell you something right there. Still, they're very efficient with checking out patrons and the line moves pretty fast so don't let that scare you away. It's absolutely worth the few minute wait if theres a line. I think Raphaël's continues to be so popular not just because they have great baked goods and a lovely location but they're also the nicest people I've ever met. The bakery is run by a wonderful French family that makes every visit here such a pleasure. If you want to support a local business while enjoying the best croissant you'll ever eat, you need to stop by Raphaël's. You will not regret it.“
“Everything was perfect! Pastries, sandwiches, coffee, quiche, everything was perfectly made with high quality ingredients. Also, who would have thought that a bakery could make such a good roast beef sandwich? Danishes also highly recommended.“
“We love rebel daughter cookies! Came in today and bought an adorable sweatshirt and almost every flavor cookie!!! We loved all of them so far our favorite is the s’mores! Will be back for more!! 25⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“best cupcakes i’ve ever had! the red velvet is my favorite and my go-to! i love how everything is gluten free and they are very understanding with any allergies! The best place for sweets and no matter the distance I will always come here! The place itself is always clean and the staff is very friendly! this place is amazing and i guarantee you that you won’t regret trying their treats!“
“Amazing bread and wonderful people! We have enjoyed getting bread from 123Dough since they opened. The bread is beyond fresh with a crusty outside and soft, chewy inside. Everyone I've met working there has been friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend 123Dough!“
“I was happy to stumble upon this bakery after recently learning that they donate leftover items throughout the local and extended communities.The store is clean and all breads, rolls, scones, etc are well displayed. Such a great variety to select from.The sunflower flax seed loaf was amazing. The high fiber buns were a tad crunchy with a soft interior and were delicious.The ham & cheese croissants were flaky and flavorful. Yum. The lemony blueberry scones( warmed up) were just sweet enough and bursted with flavor. The wild blueberry and raspberries custard danishes were wonderful.Service was friendly and prices are most reasonable. I also appreciate that all the nutritional information for all of their products can be found on their website. I cannot wait to return and highly recommend a stop.“
“Obsessed with this place. Everything is sourdough and delicious. The chocolate chip cookie is my favorite cookie I've ever eaten. The bread, bagels, pastries, pizza, and sandwiches are all top notch. Will never stop coming/recommending!“
“Believe it or Nothing Bundt Cakes have been on my radar for sometime. I created an account and joined their club even though I have not had the opportunity to try them. I am unsure where I first learned about them but something intrigued me enough to become a "member" and that is saying something. Lol.Back in June I was in Stamford for an event at another local eatery and just happened to be a 5 minute drive away from this location. Even though I had yet to experience these sweet delights my travel companion was a notable fan. With the store closing in 10 minutes, we dashed up the rode and made it within a few minutes of the lights going off. To our surprise we were pleasantly greeted with a smile from Meredith. Her customer service was superb and much appreciated as we were notably cutting it close.The store is bright and whimsical with different selections suitable for all occasions even the more often then not "just because" occasion. There was selection of candles named after iconic locations, of course New York City caught my eye. However, the price said this was not a "just because" occasion for a candle. Lol.I was unsure what to try and Meredith was so sweet with my indecisive decision making. I decided to go with one of my "go to" flavors of Red Velvet. Additionally I also decided to try the White Chocolate Raspberry. Both great choices that I tried within the next day or two. However, on the drive home my friend allowed me to sample her Limited Edition Key Lime flavor available for the summer.The bundtlets were all ultra moist. The Key Lime and Red velvet cake were both topped with creamy cream cheese icing. The two I purchased traveled well and were still moist and delectable a few days later.Definitely worth trying if in the area, just try to be mindful of the store hours so you are not trying to do the mad dash like we did.Thank you Meredith for your wonderful customer service.Just A Note:If you purchase a few flavors to try at a later time. Remove them from the refrigerator, and let them come to room temperate for the optimal taste experience.“
“I stopped by Forever Sweet Bakery to order a cake for my daughters 1st birthday and the staff was very nice and accommodating. I spoke with Sky, who took some some details and told me to expect a call later that day to go over details and pricing more in depth. Since I had actually never had anything from the bakery before and was placing an order based on reviews, Sky gave me two complimentary cupcakes to try them out. I chose red velvet and carrot cake and both were delicious. My daughter's cake (theme "Wild One") turned out exactly as I had envisioned and all the adult guests kept asking where the cake was from and complimenting the design. The top tier was red velvet and the bottom layer was vanilla with buttercream and it looked just like the inspiration photo I provided via email. I wouldn't hesitate to order from here again for all special occasions in the future.“
“The location of this place is a bit weird and sketch. It's on a dead end with many people just hanging out on the streets in front of the stores around this place. The inside of this place is small, has groceries, and about 4 tables . I went during a lunch rush and there was a line that moved pretty fast. It was loud inside, but the place was calm, I ate in peace. I tried the oxtail and jerk chicken- both were delicious - though I didn't enjoy the slight sweetness of the dishes. I would def go back again but never alone and only during the day. I was catcalled, asked for money, and was stopped multiple times during my one visit. That's the only downside to the location of this place.“
“Hands down the BEST vegan and GF cakes anywhere in the area. It’s no easy task getting this right and wow, just wow. The specialty birthday cake was out of this world and the cupcakes were phenomenal. This is our new go-to.Vegan GF sandwiches are outstanding, staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and we always walk away with a gift for someone from their little shop. This is a real gem! My only criticism is that the shop is a little tucked away so not enough people know where to find it.“
“Love this place. The staff are fantastic and always incredibly friendly and helpful even when dealing with a ton of customers, and the pastries are incredible. I highly recommend picking up the strudel, though it's easy to eat the whole thing in one sitting.“
“Boutique empanada shop, nicely decorated in a small, cafeteria-type setting. Very good empanadas including two outstanding sauces. Coffee is excellent and service is fast, with a smile. The empanada was tasty but light on the filling. Elephant ear pastry was fresh baked and as good as I've had. There are about six tables to dine in, or take out.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options, mainly empanadas and pastries.Parking: Free street parking right outside, can be a bit more difficult during busy times of the day/week.“
“’ve been going to Liz Sue II bagels for years- it’s been my go-to for bagels. I’m not exactly sure what happened though, but the taste has changed, for the worse. I don’t think I’m the only one experiencing this. Other reviews here have noted a “fishy” or “metallic” taste, but for me and my family, we’ve felt the bagels have a strange “dishwater” type after-taste which is obviously not very appealing. It’s been like this for multiple visits over a few months and it’s the same at both Stamford and Norwalk locations. Because of the bad taste, we have stopped coming here for bagels. What’s causing this?? Please go back to the original bagels so we can come back!“
“BEST AWARD WINNING PIES! 10☆sNo where and i mean NO WHERE will you find a pie that will be better than this. As in "OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD!" Doesnt matter what choice you make. They are seasonal tho, which means only fresh ingredients. You cant get a peach pie here in December! No prob tho! Your jaw will drop when u just LOOK at the Apple Crumb Pie!“
“Had a wonderful Saturday brunch here. After we ordered and grabbed a table, I noticed the salads on the table next to ours had wheat croutons. When our food came, my boyfriend's brioche was wheat, as was my sourdough toast. It was unexpected but everything was absolutely delicious. The breads we had did not taste like normal wheat to me - they lacked the heavy, earthy mouthfeel that wheat usually has. The portions were generous and everything tasted super fresh. The house made sausage was perfectly greasy with whole peppercorns embedded in the meat. The hash brown was dense and buttery. The char on the asparagus was beautiful. I read their website after brunch, and saw they only use non-commercially milled wheats and heritage grains. That explains why the baked goods were so good. We took home a chocolate croissant and a strawberry rhubarb pie and they were both divine. I was surprised at how good the wheat tasted, especially the croissant which was light and airy. I didn't know wheat could taste so good! Will definitely return to this cute little spot. Parking is limited which is the only downside.“
“We got a bread with cream cheese .. ahhh it was amazing . The bakery looks super clean, and organize, le lady who took care of me was very pleasant.. I loved it.. they have a lot of desert, looking all delicious. I would recommend this place.. one of the doctor I work with recommended to me and Im glad I pass by.“
“By The Way Bakery in Greenwich is my favorite for gluten-free, dairy-free, and kosher treats. Tried their new hot chocolate today – rich and comforting. Grabbed some treats for the office, and everything was excellent. Highly recommend for delicious treats and cake!“

“I’ve been coming to this place for the past couple months. I absolutely love the variety of cookies that she has. Every time I am around the area I go there and I get my wife a cookie Needless to say these cookies are phenomenal. Especially the chocolate chip cookie. I consider this place a little hidden gem in Wilton. The owner is absolutely amazing and is always very friendly. I highly recommend this place.“
“Great little place situated in the "town center" of Wilton/Redding area. Staff is very friendly and the food is very good too! I got a dozen donuts, a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich, and a coffee. It was all very yummy and the donuts were definitely a big step up from donut chain places.Parking: It is somewhere between street parking and parking directly in front of the store. Both are available.“
“Place was nice and clean. Jimmy and Malachi were super helpful even with us coming 5 min before closing they were of the utmost help figuring out what cookie to get. We ended up getting the chocolate chip and the one that looks like a sugar cookie. Soo good. Definitely stopping by again!!“
“Fantastic sourdough and pastries (especially the croissants)Things are pricey but worth it. Quality is top notch. They focus on small details like using homemade preserves and nicely toasted almonds. The flaky pastries here rival France . Sourdough flavors alternate which make sono bakery a fun place to try new sourdough concepts. Some breads are better than others but all are good quality. Highly recommend the almond croissants“
“Great food polite service and warm atmosphere. Trying a new place I was not sure if I'd like it nor did I know what to order. Andres was welcoming and patient. He recommended a delicious breakfast and I can not wait to come back and try more.“
“We had a great experience! Our sandwiches were delicious; smoked turkey & brie, chicken cesar wrap and a ranch chicken panini. Staff is friendly and very attentive. We will be back to try the breakfast sandwiches which looked delicious.“
“Wave Hill Bread emerges as a gem for those in pursuit of artisanal breads and pastries, channeling the essence of a quaint European bakery into every loaf and scone. The bakery shines particularly bright with its pumpernickel baguette and blueberry scone. The pumpernickel baguette, a true artisan's creation, boasts a dark, slightly crisp crust that beautifully complements its soft, flavor-rich interior. Made with rye flour, its depth of flavor turns each bite into a delightful experience, whether savored alone, as part of a sandwich, or alongside cheese. The blueberry scone is a marvel of moist, fluffy pastry, bursting with the sweetness of blueberries in every tender bite, setting a high standard for what a scone should be.Beyond these standout offerings, Wave Hill Bread distinguishes itself with a dedication to quality and craftsmanship evident in every product. From airy baguettes to indulgent pastries, the bakery’s assortment caters to all tastes, ensuring there’s something to satisfy every palate. The passion of the bakers is palpable, using only the finest ingredients and traditional methods to create baked goods that are not just consumed, but experienced. Coupled with a warm atmosphere and welcoming staff, a visit to Wave Hill Bread promises not only a treat for the taste buds but a memorable journey into the heart of artisan baking.“
“I’ve been trying to find an allergy friendly bakery that actually takes cross contamination precautions seriously and the cake box exceeded my expectations. I have a family member that has a wheat egg and peanut allergy. He can eat the vegan cake here no problem. And the cake is delicious!! Thank you so much for being awesome!“
“It was a Monday like a Sunday since it was a holiday. Quiet. I pass it every morning but never see a spot. Today easy peasy -there was no one on the road at 8:30 am. So I went in and did two things I would not ordinarily do. Ordered a delicious latte and a pastry!! The guy who took my order was sweet and had perfect recommendations. I wanted to sit inside but I didn’t want to be alone. I sat in my car and held the cup in my hands and inhaled the aroma while I thought to myself. Next time I’ll come with a friend. Next time I’ll let the Lorca feeling last a little longer. Next time.“
“I was sitting in Parkway Diner looking across the street and COBS caught my eye. I thought they were named after Cos Cob but apparently they are a chain. An international chain with only one US location, right here in Stamford. Okay, then, COBS we go! I had my eye on a bread loaf for some carbs. But I wasn't sure if I wanted their Cape Seed bread. 9 types of seeds but not clear if you get the nice big seeds throughout the dough that I like. I asked about it and they simply took an entire loaf and sliced it, then handed out samples to my entire group. And then just packaged the bread and handed it over and said "this is on us". Yes, it's later in the day. Maybe you could tell I wasn't really sold on the bread. But my. goodness. how friendly and helpful and customer-oriented these people are! Oh, and they donate unbought food at the end of the day to a local food pantry. With all this, I decided to buy a couple of scones and leave an extra-generous tip for the bread. Let me tell you, the triple chocolate scone is tasty, unexpected icing and unique flavor throughout, but the lemon blueberry? Oh. My. Gosh. Divine. SOOOOO much blueberry flavour (since they're international and giving out scones, I will spell it their way) in every bite. So glad I brought these scones home and now I'm looking at the bag as I type this, preparing to lick the blueberry remnants from the wrapper. Sounds like 5 stars to me.“
“My co-worker told me about this place, and I definitely had to check it out. What a delicious looking selection of pastries! I'm personally not a sweets person but was having a craving today! Stopped in for a slice of tiramisu, and wow, was it delicious! Best I've ever had! They also serve food, and I hear it's amazing! Will definitely be back for lunch!“
