We walked out with chocolate, chocolate covered, almond, and lemon cannolis, plus a small pizza we'll have for lunch tomorrow. Our first visit here was so positive, I'm sure we'll return when up this way again.

I have never wrote a review on them up until now. I have tried their bob bons , brownies, cannolis among other pastries. I enjoy them all. However this is my first time buying truffles from them. I wasn't aware of the price point for the truffles which $1.75 per each truffle. I do think it's a little pricey for a small item which is one of the reasons I think why I never purchased them because I assumed they were by weight in a bag not by quantity. The reason for the four stars is for the price point on singular truffles & that there are no prices listed in front of the pastries or desserts , so no one knows how much something is before purchasing unless they ask. The service was okay typical pastry shop service. The ambiance wasn't super busy for a Monday afternoon. I do enjoy their desserts but I don't think paying almost $2.00 for one tiny thing is worth it , by the time you know it , it's a whole bag equivalent of truffles from another chocolatier brand if not more. The truffles aren't in the photo but I ordered the sea salt caramel truffle & milk chocolate caramel truffle.

La Fiorentina Pastry Shop is celebrating 80 years in business, and honestly, it's no surprise they've been successful for so long. This authentic Italian pastry shop and café in is about as close to Italy as you're going to get without booking a flight. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast featuring fresh avocado toast and French toast made with their house-made rustic bread. And the pastries? Endless options -- every case was packed with something tempting. Mom, my sister, and I each ordered a cappuccino, and they were so good that we all ended up getting iced cappuccinos to go.

But I don't think we've ever fallen as head-over-heels in love with one as we did when we set foot into the Russo Pastry Shop. It's one of the most visually stunning bakeries I've ever seen! Walking into the store reminded me of the moment in the Wizard of Oz movie when the images transform from black and white into color. That's because vibrant, bright, gorgeous colors are everywhere inside Russo's. An embarrassment of riches are everywhere in the form of cannolis, cookies, pastries, and cake slices, And if you want some savory treats to accompany your sweet treats, well... no worries because Russo has pizzas, calzones, grinders, frozen pastas, parmigianas, and soups. We picked up a gorgeous slice of White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake, and it was so fantastic it's hard to put into words. We went into their freezer case and picked up two entrees -eggplant parmigiana and chicken parmigiana. They were priced as a $16.99 BOGO deal. We had both last week, and the portions in the containers were easily splitable for the two of us. The chicken parm seemed to have more inside the container than the eggplant did, and we both thought it was better than the eggplant. In essence we ended up with four dinner portions for just $16.99. Do the math-that's a tremendous value. After you do the math, do yourself a favor and take a ride over to Russo's for a fantastic experience.

I all bought two slices of pizza - one was spinach ricotta, and other meatball parm. Both were very generously loaded w toppings. Both were very good, but definitely below New Haven-style.

The café here, West Street Coffee & Tea, uses their square footage to pack a few tables, and a bookshelf or two with possibly the proprietor's gifted collection for customers to read. The West Street Coffee & Tea helps you feel at home stopping in for some coffee, a selection of a quick breakfast sandwich, a pastry from the bakery across the parking lot, or some other treat. I have enjoyed a quality and consistency of service, not only filling out punches on my loyalty card, but appreciating both my drinks and my meal. The kitchen staff has served me quickly when they are not my talented cashier and barista as well--though do consider this a compliment worth tipping the staff for their ability to know how to run a café in part or in whole. The West Street Coffee & Tea boasts a humble parking lot, but the sizable line of parking spaces allows cars to park and then usually drive forward to depart. This fits that the five to six tables are set well in each of the rooms they rest, with ample light from the interior and exterior. I could imagine the drink staff would keep up with a variety of orders that are park and departing, so be mindful that there is parking at other corners of the plaza rotary on busy hours like at other restaurants within Amherst. Busses do travel by, and I'd suppose those from the PVTA that go between Amherst and Hampshire might even stop here. For a quite accessible location, I can only imagine they enjoy being a secret delight of this area of south and east Amherst.
