waffle bowl with fondant over krispie treats to look like ice cream scoops
Michele C.

What a fun night!! Went for a cake decorating class and my cake turned out beautiful! They were good at providing and showing instructions of what to do. The design looked complex initially but amazingly enough it really wasn't that difficult. I will definitely go again! They provide the cake and all of the supplies. You get a choice of funfetti, chocolate, vanilla or marble cake. You can bring you're own snacks and beverages. It was a great girls night out! The Cakery is located right on Center St. and that time of day , 5:30, there was plenty of parking!

Prepping the chocolate shatter pieces
Marsha N.

I love to come here for the Cake night classes. At this time you can book a large party ( 10 people perhaps ?) and pay $50 per person for the materials and their instructions. We usually BYOB and brings a few snacks to enjoy while we decorate our cakes. They pre-cook the cylindrical cakes and you tell them ahead of time which flavor you want: funetti, vanilla, red velvet and chocolate are some of the options. They teach about frosting the 'crumb layer, how to bag your buttercream frosting in the plastic piping bags. How to smooth the frosting lines to make it sort of ombre in appearance. Depending on the cake you sign up for they show you how to make simple fondant characters. I'm probably not using the correct terminology but you get the idea. The work tables could be a little larger so you have more room to work and snack but that's really my only suggestion.

Alcohol Infused Cupcakes

Best place in the New Haven area for custom cakes and cupcakes by far! Ordered these running themed alcohol infused cupcakes for a birthday and Alyssa knocked it out of the park!

Cupcakes!
Vittoria C.

The BEST cupcakes! I've had their cakes in the past at birthdays but I finally got around to trying their cupcake! We ordered a dozen cupcakes, as we really could not decide on which ones to get! Some of the ones we got (pictured: Top (L-R): Lemon, Chocolate, Chocolate with Vanilla Frosting, Key Lime Pie Second Row: Reese's, Caramel Macchiato, Creamsicle, Grasshopper Bottom: Carrot Cake, (a chocolate one I can't remember the name of), Chocolate Truffle, Almond Joy) I can't wait to go back and get more!

Cute little bakery shop in prime area in Wallingford. Walking distance to alot of shops in the area . They have the cutest mini cupcakes in many different flavors from original to apple spice (filled inside too) and larger ones like Pumpkin Truffle,S'mores,Apple cider and Sweet & Salty with a chip and pretzel ontop. The make cakes to order here and a few of my friends said they were great . They sell coffee and drinks too. I noticed they have Keto mini cheesecakes and Fat Bombs in flavors if you are on that diet . Stroll by and take a look at the flavors they have and grab some treats for the family today ! Update later on in the day ... I had eaten my Apple cider donut cupcake and it was pure bliss. Perfectly cooked and the buttercream delicious. The cider in the pipette was a good touch . Loved it !

Mini cupcake still life
Jess L.

Tim and I spontaneously visited this bakery after seeing a group selling some items on the sidewalk for a Wallingford street event. I'm glad we went inside! They do some awesome mini cupcakes. The Mississippi mudpie and grasshopper were our favorites. The Samoa was ok, though it was mainly because of the 1/4 cookie on the top; the flavor didn't resonate otherwise. Still, creative execution! Together, 4 mini cupcakes were just over $4 including tax. Inside is very frilly and on the girlier side of bakeries. Nothing wrong with that! They do some awesome things with sprinkles!

My cake at winter ladies night, I was super happy to share this on Christmas with family!
Kate C.

I've been to Alyssas for two different events, one she hosted for my Girl Scout troop, where every girl decorated a cake in their flavor, with a great lesson on using & dying fondant for decoration, the next was a ladies night that the store periodically hosts near holidays (reservations for these fill fast so jump on it if you see it on FB or Insta) the ladies night was super fun, drinks (byob) beautiful cakes for Christmas a wonderful evening.

Wedding rehearsal cake

Absolutely loved my cake for my rehearsal dinner! Red velvet vintage style heart cake was a hit! Super easy to order through email with inspo pictures. Alyssa knew exactly what I wanted and knocked it out of the park!

This door is usually closed but they are open!
Mudi K.

I really like Alyssa's Cakery (and I'm a big cake snob). I've only had their mini cupcakes so far but they have been consistently good. There is always a wide variety to choose from - obviously this depends on the time of day as there are fewer choices closer to closing time. It's a cute little place located in the center of town. There are a couple of tables - I believe they serve coffee too but I've never eaten in. They also sell a couple of other knick knacks (e.g. mugs). Each time I've been there, the staff have always been friendly and helpful. Just placed a large order over the phone and they were really nice and super helpful (I mention this because some places are terrible when you call to place orders). They do regular cakes in addition to the cupcakes and I've heard rave reviews about those - for taste and decoration. Love this place and I'll be back :-)

Camo baby boots cake

Wow! Amazing! Just some of the words to describe the cake we bought for my daughter's baby shower. Met with a staff member to place the order and sent pic of what I wanted. It was better than I imagined. Price was comparable to other places but their customer service at those bakeries was less than acceptable Thank you Alyssa's Cakery for a great job!

Custom Bday Cake
J P.

I ordered a cake for my boyfriend's birthday and it not only was perfect and a huge hit, but the cake was absolutely delicious and everyone loved it! I'm very happy I found this bakery in my town and I highly recommend trying the for your next occasion.

I have been lacking on writing this review when it is truly deserved . I had a cake made for a baby shower and let me tell you , it was great .

Allison G.

The cake for my daughter's birthday was not only beautiful but was also so delicious! We got the funfetti cake with the chocolate filling on one tier and the canolli filling for the other tier! People are still talking about how delicious the cake was!

I highly recommend don't waste anymore time looking elsewhere Alyssa's will not disappoint

I Agree! I'm not a fan of their other bakery items but they make the best doughnuts! I have been…read moretold their breakfast sandwiches are stellar but I haven't tried them- yet. I usually stop in early on my way work and pick up a dozen to share, when I walk in with that box I suddenly become Very Popular!! What makes them great? Neil's doughnuts are substantial without being heavy or doughy. I have never gotten a doughnut or cruller that was overcooked or oily, they know what they're doing and have good QC. Their filled doughnuts don't have a little squirt of filling piped in the end, they split them and generously fill each one. Yes, they are extremely busy, parking can be a little exciting and the line is usually out the door but it's organized, the customers know the drill and behave and the counter staff is well trained and fast; patient too for the indecisive of us. I have only been to the Wallingford one but there is a second Neil's in Middletown, not at all too much of a good thing!.

Le Jardin Cafe is a Parisian-inspired garden café that opened in Wallingford, Connecticut in…read moreFebruary 2023. It was founded by Fabiola "Fabi" Giguere along with her husband Brad and sons Francisco and Jean Pierre. Fabi and Brad both have over 30 years in the business industry: Fabi worked in the commercial cleaning industry and Brad has 20 years of experience as a trained chef. The couple saw a need for French-inspired café in downtown Wallingford, so they acquired a location on North Main Street that had previously been a branch of Wells Fargo Bank. For the new business venture, the family chose the name "Le Jardin" which is French for "The Garden". Their intention is to provide the public a place meant for lingering: where coffee is savored, meals are unhurried and conversation comes naturally. The menu features egg dishes, omelettes, crepes (both sweet and savory), French toast, waffles, French-inspired dishes, tartines, salads & bowls, and a variety of different coffees, mocktails and specialty dishes. Le Jardin shares a space with ACHIQ Designs: Fabi's sister boutique which sells jewelry, clothing, and gifts. My family and I visited Le Jardin Cafe for brunch. We had heard that they had some new autumn-inspired specials and were interested in stopping by. The interior was cozy, charming, and filled with lush greenery, cascading florals, and climbing vines. After looking over the menu, I ordered the "Apple Pie Tarte Crepes" (filled with chopped warm apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, whipped cream & caramel), my wife ordered the "Bistro Breakfast Bliss" (breakfast potatoes, tomatoes, avocado, greens, tzatziki, one sunny egg), our older son ordered the "Oreo Berries 'n Cream Crepes" (filled with strawberries, Oreos, whipped cream & chocolate syrup), and our younger son ordered a "Chocolate Croissant". Everything was delicious! My crepes were full of warm, gooey apples and autumn spices and my wife loved all of the fresh, flavorful ingredients in her breakfast bowl. Our sons loved their dishes too. To wash everything down, my wife had the "Warm Caramel Apple Cider" (warm apple cider w/ caramel & vanilla extract, ground cinnamon) and I had the "Pumpkin Spice Latte" (double shot of espresso, milk, pumpkin spice, brown sugar, whipped cream & cinnamon). The latter was served iced in a real sugar pumpkin! It was as delicious as it was aesthetically pleasing: the perfect iced coffee for autumn! We had such a wonderful experience at Le Jardin and hope to return in the future!

We came on a Sunday around 10:30am and they were almost out of some of their pastries. Definitely go there earlier. But that just shows how fresh everything is! Firstly, all of the pastries looked delicious! It was so hard to just pick one so we needed up picking 3. Cheesy hotdog bread, kbbq short rib bread, and a cranberry cream cheese pastry. They were all SOOO GOOD! The bread is so soft and the flavors were delicious. They have lots of fun seasonal drinks, caffeinated and non-caffeinated. They also have boba! I got an ube banana latte and my friend got their seasonal Coquito latte which was recommended. Both were delicious (and very strong). The service was immaculate. I didn't catch the cashier's name but she was younger with brown hair. The sweetest person ever! Definitely made the experience more enjoyable. The owner, Chan also gifted us a piece of delicious oreo cake for fun! It was so yummy and not too sweet. I cannot recommend this place enough!

It has taken me way too long to write this review, but I only recently started reviewing some of…read morethe places I've loved over the years, and The Eatery absolutely deserves one. When I lived in Wallingford for about three years, The Eatery became one of my places. I would stop in for breakfast before work, or someone from my team would make the breakfast run. At least once a month, we had to have an Eatery morning. We ordered lunch from here too, so over time this little place became part of our routine. When I eventually left Wallingford, my team actually bought me my last breakfast sandwich from The Eatery before I left. It sounds like such a small thing, but it was honestly bittersweet because they knew how much I loved this place. And years later? It's still just as good. One of the biggest reasons The Eatery has always stood out to me is the customer service. Everyone I've encountered has been sweet, polite and welcoming, but I especially have to mention Sam. Over the years, she became one of those people who made you feel like more than just another customer. She genuinely got to know her regulars. There were times I'd place my order online and it felt like she already knew I was coming. I'd walk through the door and she'd have everything ready. She has always been incredibly kind, caring and attentive, not only with me, but with the customers around her as well. That kind of customer service is something you remember. My son has been eating their food since he was around one year old, and he STILL loves it. Now whenever we're back in Connecticut for his appointments, my mom will ask, "Can we please stop at The Eatery?". Sometimes we're able to make it and sometimes we're not, but this past Friday we finally did. I ordered my favorite kind of breakfast: a bacon, egg & cheese on a pretzel roll. SO GOOD. The pretzel roll with the warm egg, bacon and melted cheese is such a perfect combination. My mom ordered her bacon, egg & cheese on ciabatta, and my son had one as well. Although apparently his wasn't enough, because he ended up stealing mine. Apparently Mom's food always tastes better. I also tried what I believe was their watermelon mint refresher/tea, which was refreshing and perfect with breakfast, while my mom had a caramel coffee that she absolutely loved. And please don't think they're only a breakfast spot. Their lunch is just as good. I used to order their salads all the time during work, and they were always incredibly fresh. In fact, my coworkers were notorious for wanting some of my salad because they knew where it came from. Everything always tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared rather than like something that had been sitting around. Another thing I love is seeing how much this place has grown. I remember what it was like when I first discovered it, and coming back years later and seeing what they've created is wonderful. They've added so much personality while somehow keeping the same warm feeling and the same wonderful people. The atmosphere is adorable. It's bright, clean, modern and welcoming, with tons of beautiful greenery, hanging plants, warm wood tones, woven light fixtures and fun pops of color. The big "Hello Wallingford!" mural is such a cute touch. There are little details everywhere, but it doesn't feel overdone, it has that relaxed neighborhood café feeling where you can grab your food and go or just enjoy being there. I also love how they change things up for the seasons and different occasions. They always seem to have something fun going on, especially around fall and the holidays, and I believe they offer catering as well. Funny enough, before I discovered The Eatery, I had driven past it so many times without realizing what I was missing. Once I finally stopped in, it became somewhere I went for years. If you live in Wallingford, you need to try this place. And honestly, even if you're coming from North Haven, New Haven or elsewhere in the area, make the drive. It's worth it. I may not live in Connecticut anymore, but whenever we're back in the area, The Eatery is still one of those places my family wants to stop. The food is delicious, the ingredients taste fresh, the atmosphere is beautiful, and most importantly the people have remained just as kind and welcoming as I remember them. Some restaurants are simply places you eat. The Eatery became part of my memories of living in Wallingford, and that's probably the best compliment I can give them. Keep telling them they need a second location in another state! Everyone deserves to try how amazing they are
