I visited on a weekday afternoon and knew that there wouldn't be a ton of options as compared to going first thing in the morning. The cashier greeted me immediately and let me know that the chocolate chip cookies had just come out of the oven so getting one of those was a no brainer. In addition to the cookie, I got the pumpkin cake with cream cheese icing and the protein edible chocolate chip cookie dough. Everything was delicious but I would absolutely drive across town for that chocolate chip cookie. It was perfection! Perfectly crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. The protein edible cookie dough is a delicious, low carb treat that I really enjoyed and the pumpkin cake was perfect for the changing seasons. I've heard fantastic things about their coffee drinks too so I need to return to try one of those. They also change their offerings monthly so there's always something new to return for. Scotia Sweets is such a welcome addition to the Capital Region bakery scene!

We really wanted to like this place. After many failed attempts because they sell out so fast, we…read morewere finally able to try their cinnamon rolls. We got one regular and one birthday cake. The birthday cake roll was amazing and delicious--soft, moist, and exactly how a cinnamon roll should taste! Unfortunately, the regular cinnamon roll wasn't the same. It was dry and flaky; you could tell the difference just by looking at it. It makes me wonder how I could notice the dryness immediately, yet the people who made and served it didn't. They've been making so many of these since they opened, it's hard to believe they didn't notice. Based on this experience, we would not recommend this place. First impressions are everything, especially when you are a new business.

I picked up a loaf for a dinner and it was amazing. So soft with a crispy shell--this bread would be great for anything like a side or for sandwiches.

It's a no fuss bakery and will definitely be back to pick up some other goodies too!

Civitello's reopened under its new owner Mark Novak on July 31, 2025 after renovations which…read moreincluded new plumbing and wiring. The new owner promised to keep the shop looking the same, and it appears he succeeded. Very nice! Booths were reupholstered in the same dark green color. Photos of Civitello family lined the wall. The ceiling was replaced with an embossed metal one that looks appropriate and like the original ceiling. I went to Civitello's at 10:30 am on Tuesday, August 5. The Co-Manager (owner's son) was pleasant and welcoming. I ordered a small Lemon Ice and bought a quart to drop off to my grandchildren. I have been enjoying the Lemon Ice regularly at Civitello's since my childhood. I have even eaten Lemon Ice in Italy. I sat in my car eating the Lemon Ice I had just bought; I ate slowly and with no distractions. The Lemon Ice definitely did not taste the like it did in the past. The texture was the same, but the pure lemon flavor was much less noticeable. Also, there were more tiny pieces of lemon zest in it. This zest did not taste fresh; it tasted prepackaged. I heard many of the family recipes were included in the purchase of the shop. However, I think the Lemon Ice recipe was not given to the new owner. Food-- Pizza (Tomato Pie) was not out yet, and I am eager to return soon see if it is as amazing as I remember it.. After looking at the menu, I asked if Eggplant Sandwiches were going to be available everyday, and he responded yes because the Fryer is now located in the kitchen. Previously, they were served only on Wed. and Fridays because the fryer was outside. Looking forward to having an Eggplant Sandwich, a favorite of mine as well as of many customers. Will it taste the same? Will it be on homemade bread sliced thin? Bakery-- Eclairs looked great. Guy ahead of me bought six. However, I noticed the Butter Cookies did not look as nicely cut out/shaped as before. I did not taste or buy any on this visit. I did not see any almond paste cookies; maybe I overlooked them. The shop was closed on Sunday because they were sold out after the grand reopening, so they may need to restock more of the classic cookies Civitello's is famous for. I plan on updating this review after I taste the Eggplant Sandwich and the Pizza/Tomato Pie.

Imagine if your grandparents opened up a bakery on a farm. That's pretty much the vibe at Lake View…read moreOrchards. Grandma bakes the pastries and is the friendly face at the register. Grandpa works the donut making robot, cranking out hot apple cider donuts while watching the world go by from the window. The building may be a little bit run down, but the place is totally charming. There are a few tables toward the back of the shop to sit down and enjoy your hot donuts. However, most people take them to go. That seems like a bad idea, especially since the donuts are both warm and covered with cinnamon sugar. To eat them in the car is a recipe for disaster. Sugar would get everywhere and you would soon be a sticky mess. Saving them for later would be a tragedy, since apple cider donuts are so much better when they are warm. It's a rare treat to get warm cider donuts. As Otis said, these are decidedly more aggressive on the spicing. I tasted not just cinnamon, but also nutmeg. Are they worth an hour drive? Probably not. But if you are within a half hour of this orchard, I'd say it's worth the trip.
