The owner is so generous and loving and you can tell that this is a genuine passion of hers. Whether you preorder, go in and sit or take away you will have a great experience.

She's really thought of everything!

I had really high hopes for this bakery, especially since it's part of the local pastry trail, and…read moreoverall, it delivered a solid experience. First off, it's definitely one of those small, tucked-away spots you could easily miss if you didn't know it was there, but once you walk in, the decor is so cute. Think cozy, shabby chic vibes that make it feel warm and welcoming right away. The standout for me? The dinner roll. Honestly, one of the best I've ever had. It was dense, rich, and satisfying, not your typical light, airy Kaiser roll. It reminded me more of a Jamaican hard dough bread in texture and weight, which I personally loved. Super flavorful and filling. I was also really happy about their buy three, get one free promotion. It made it easy to try a few different things without feeling like I was overdoing it. As for the pastries, I tried the cinnamon roll and carrot cake. I didn't finish either, but the carrot cake definitely gave true homemade vibes. It had coconut mixed in, wasn't overly sweet, and felt more traditional than indulgent. If you like a less sugary, more classic-style carrot cake, you'll probably appreciate it. Overall, this bakery is worth a stop, especially if you're exploring the pastry trail. Not everything wowed me, but there were definitely some highlights that made it a good visit.

This is exactly the kind of small business that deserves to be celebrated and supported in Simsbury, CT. A true local gem that continues to raise the bar--not just in Simsbury, but across the surrounding towns.

Come by the harvest for breakfast or lunch be a little creative even though the menu is full of things that are just outstanding.

We showed up at 11:30am and per the worker it was a little thin but still many acceptable options. LEMON BLUEBERRY MUFFIN: -- nice irregular shaped appearance -- visually appealing -- not too sweet -- pronounced balance of both flavors which is rare with these two flavors when combined -- oftentimes the lemon dominates the blueberry -- tastes even better than it looks -- quite moist without being oily or greasy RATING = A JASMINE HONEY LATTE (HOT): -- smooth and just enough flavor and scent of both -- tastes natural and authentic -- smooth java RATING = A+ Quaint and country vibe inside. Very roomy space. Conveniently located near the airport for this weary traveler.

We were all very happy with the outcome; they were moist and up there with the best cupcakes I've had in a while. They also have gluten free, vegan, mini cupcakes, and cupcakes kits. Other treat options were the chocolate covered Oreos and cannoli chips and dip. I bought a few of those Oreos and they didn't disappoint. I can't wait to go back and try out more treats!

I've always preferred the whipped cream frosting or cream cheese frosting but their buttercream is something that even I enjoy. They keep their peanut butter options completely separate from the other flavors and even asked if I wanted my peanut butter cupcake in a separate box for allergy purposes. They offer dietary accommodations including gluten free and vegan as well and they have a table of delicious chocolate dipped Oreos and beautiful hot cocoa bombs. There's also an ice cream counter. They even have something for the 4 legged friends!! With multiple locations they are pretty accessible to give a try

Watch carefully for the signs, because the plaza is a little nondescript from the road.
