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. One of my favorite parts? There's a playground right next door, making it the perfect spot to sip your coffee while the kids play.

I've ordered cookies for delivery for a specific day and I did not receive the order. Contacting the owner is a waste of time because she does not reply to any concerns! I placed an order for cookies to come on a Friday and I did not get them until Sunday, She claimed her system was down And that's why I wasn't able to get the cookies when I asked. Your system was down, but the same system took my money? I gave her the benefit of the doubt and decided to order cookies from her again and the same thing happened! I ordered cookies Monday night for Tuesday (12-7pm) Because that's her delivery window, No cookies came Tuesday and no cookies came Wednesday. It's about to be Thursday and I still haven't received my order. I recommend not ordering from this lady because you're not gonna get your cookies on the days you ask for!! Why ask people what days they want the cookies if you're going to pick what days you're going to deliver, it's unacceptable and very annoying, i'd rather my money back.

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. I guess I'm a pizza snob. They were just a bit doughy for my taste. So, 5 stars for the pastry, 3.5 for the slices, overall rounded to 4.25. 4 Yelp stars

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.

As impressive as the customer service was, the cake was still the highlight. They offered so many thoughtful options for flavors and customization, and I chose a vanilla cake with vanilla frosting and lemon curd filling. It was absolutely perfect. The cake was light and fluffy, the lemon curd added just the right amount of brightness, and the frosting was so delicious that people were practically fighting over it. It was easily one of the biggest hits of the night. One of my mom's friends is gluten free, and they also made her a chocolate cupcake with raspberry frosting so she could enjoy something special too. It was delicious, beautifully done, and such a thoughtful addition. I have walked past The Latest Kraez countless times while walking my dog, but somehow always seemed to miss their hours. When it came time to order my mom's birthday cake, I knew I finally wanted to try them, and it turned out to be the best decision. From their kindness and flexibility to the quality of everything they made, they helped make my mom's celebration even more memorable. I will absolutely be ordering from them again.

That's a little outrageous for a cake IMO. None of the cupcakes has any description as to what was inside of them. It was hard to look around anyway as there were two older women taking various photos of a 3rd woman holding up items and they had zero regard for anyone else in the store at the time. Oh well. An episode of the Golden Girls was playing on the TV so that was the only enjoyable part of the visit.
