They've been around since 2012 and offers a variety of treats; from macarons, cupcakes, bars, pies, truffles, and cookies. There are three locations; Avon, South Windsor, and West Hartford. This one in Avon is super cute and whimsical; love the decor with the picture frames on the wall. There was a table and some chairs to enjoy your treats. I decided to get a few macarons, bars, and a cupcake. All were so good but my favorite were the macarons. They were the perfect texture, lightly crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. This place is definitely a gem and I can't wait to go back!

But there may be more options available.... Definitely worth a pop-in to get something small and taste the deliciousness. Regardless, the interior is beautiful decorated. It feels like a modern tea room with some availability to sit. The walls are a beautiful calm blue. They have some cold drinks, and the cups cakes - very moist, definitely have standing life in them. The employee was very kind and friendly, and the shop seems smoothly run. The shop seems to be in two plazas, and have designated parking on either side next to the building. Watch carefully for the signs, because the plaza is a little nondescript from the road.

I brought my daughter and my niece and as soon as we walked in the shop, it was so cute! The girls at the counter were so friendly. We were overwhelmed and undecided with all the different varieties of delicious homemade ice creams. But, they offered taste testers and there were so many cool unique flavors which made it even harder to figure out which one to get! Thankfully they suggested the 6 mini scoop ice cream flight. We were so happy we had this option making it so much easier and so we got to try a bunch of different flavors including, Ube, biscoff, honey latte, pistachio, Oreo, and honey vanilla. My niece was also super excited about the cotton cloud cone,made with either pink or blue cotton candy and a scoop of ice cream on top. She love it! I'm also happy because the space inside was big enough that they have a foosball table, seating and even a little porch with glass windows and tables, so on a rainy day, we were all able to enjoy the ice cream indoors as well. This ice cream was so creamy and fresh, I can't wait to come back and try the others! I also need to try their cheese and coffee shop next door too!

This one is located in Avon in the Old Avon Village plaza. There were plenty of parking when I went. The bakery is pretty spacious with some tables and seats. The display was filled with delicious looking cupcakes and other treats. They are known for their cupcakes. I got a few different ones to try with my family; the Oreo, funfetti, and brownie flavors. 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!

Their Avon location is cute and quaint and boy of boy does it smell good when you walk in! I've gone here many times to get some sweet treats for the kids and I. They NEVER disappoint. My daughter usually cons me into getting way more than we need but I'm never truly upset about it because everything is so good. I for one am not a big super sweet frosting person. 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

The minute we stepped in, we were greeted by Evan with a warm smile. He gave us some great feedback on flavors and what is popular, he also told us his favorite toppings and encouraged us to try some other ones as well. I decided to help myself to a little bit of each flavor and several toppings. Man what a treat this was. We may have to be in Avon next month, and we hope to visit this shop again. Thanks Evan for making this a great visit.

There were tables outside and inside. There were a wide array of flavors to choose from, they even had sugar free and non dairy options. You pick a cup which comes in a couple of sizes, then pick your frozen yogurt flavors; there were so many to choose from. After, this is where the fun begins, mix and match all the toppings you like; also so many to choose from. Once done, put your cup on the machine to weigh it, then pay and enjoy the treat. They also have ice cream, milkshakes, smoothies, and fruit bubble teas. Overall, a great place to get a fun treat.

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.

We had attended several corporate events at this restaurant in the past and always came away with a…read morevery positive impression. This was our first private visit as a family, celebrating our daughter's graduation, and unfortunately it was an extremely disappointing experience. The atmosphere was pleasant and the food itself was good, but the service was unacceptable and, at times, offensive. We mentioned the graduation in our reservation, yet nobody at the restaurant acknowledged the occasion in any way. We were given two bread rolls upon being seated, and then waited approximately 30 minutes for our appetizers. After that, we waited another full hour for our main courses. What made the situation particularly frustrating was the complete lack of communication. No one came to update us about the delay or offer additional bread. We had to ask for water ourselves. Our daughter did not order an appetizer and spent the entire time waiting hungry. When the food finally arrived, nobody apologized for the excessive delay. The most troubling part of the evening occurred when I noticed that my rice seemed cold. I politely asked whether it was intended to be served that way or whether it had become cold during the unusually long wait. The waitress took my plate away, even though I had already started eating. Five minutes later, she returned with what appeared to be the exact same plate, including the same partially eaten rice, and informed me that the chef said it was served that way by design. This raised an obvious question: what happened to my food during those five minutes? Was it examined? Was it tasted? Bringing back a plate containing partially eaten food is simply unacceptable and unsanitary. If the waitress needed to consult the chef, she could have returned with the answer without removing the plate, or the chef could have come to our table to explain the dish. What should have been a special family celebration became a deeply disappointing experience. Given our previous positive experiences with this restaurant, the contrast was particularly striking.
