Once again I made the 17+ mile drive to this bakery on the weekend and joined the line waiting for…read moreits doors to open. Once again I had difficulty choosing a breakfast pastry because all looked so mouth watering. This time I settled on a pair of blueberry buns that proved to be larger than expected so on returning home my wife and I decided to share one and save the other for the following day. Unfortunately the outside of the bun was too dense and flavor lite though the much smaller, interior part, was as delicious as expected. I will no doubt be returning in the not too distant future to sample more of their delicious pastries as should you.

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!.

The Italian bread was soo delicious, soft on the inside, crispy crust! The pizza was more of a deep dish style pizza. We got pepperoni and their special; broccoli, spinach, sausage and chicken. Both were very good. They offer to heat it up for you, or take home from the pan and heat up yourself. We also got some cookies and a cinnamon elephant ear for treats. They were probably some of the best Italian cookies I've had!

I would definitely go back and try more items!

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!

The service was fairly quick however we did arrive about an hour before they closed so I wasn't expecting to see many people anyways. The store itself is very cute and much larger than expected.

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 didn't catch the cashier's name but she was younger with brown hair. The sweetest person ever! Definitely made the experience more enjoyable.
