    Frosted sugar cookies & cupcakes from Hometown (chocolate chip cookie cake was made at home)

    Got cookies and cupcakes for our baby shower from here and they did not disappoint! Highly recommend for events or just to pop in for a treat.

    Last Saturday we went to pick up our Daughter's birthday cake. I had called a few weeks in advance to place our order. I had given the bakery a picture for the cake decorator to follow and paid over the phone in full. When my Husband went to pick up our cake at the agreed upon time the cake wasn't ready. I had asked the girl on the phone if they could make the cake that I had a PInterest picture of and if it could be completed for a pick up time between 10-11am. I was told that they absolutely could copy the cake that I had requested and that the time for pick up was no problem. However, when my husband went to pick up the cake @ 2pm he was told it "wasn't finished yet". The owner Arlene came out and instead of apologizing for the cake not being ready for pick up, she argued with my husband. She stated that based on our conversation that she had told me that the pick up time would be just before closing. Problem was Arlene and I never had any communication, none! I had spoken with a young girl on the phone. Also, the cake did not look anything like my picture I had submitted to their website. I made it look more attractive by adding my own candles and a glittery sign that had been made special on ETSY wishing a Happy 20th birthday to my Daughter. The only positive thing I can say about the cake was it tasted delicious! That was my saving grace! It was a lemon cake with vanilla buttercream frosting. The cake itself was super moist and the taste was amazing! For $50 I would have expected the cake to look as close to my picture as possible. If they had said they couldn't duplicate the cake in my picture I would have asked for something else. I was very disappointed that it wasn't anything like the picture I submitted and for the expense I would have thought it would have been ready on time. Instead of apologizes, we were given many excuses. Would I go there again, probably not.

    Amazing bread !!! Happy cashier, and smelled like a bakery inside! I will come back ASAP!

    Hometown Bakery made a delicious graduation cake for our son's graduation. We went with half yellow/half chocolate and our whole family loved it. So many compliments on how great it tasted. Thank you to Arlene and her team!

    We purchased a cupcake bouquet from Arlene for my bridal shower. The cupcakes were beautiful and delicious! I highly recommend Hometown Bakery for any parties you're hosting!

    a vase of cupcakes and flowers

    I ordered a cupcake bouquet to bring to Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit! It came out beautifully, and everyone was so impressed. Some people didn't even realize it was cupcakes at first. Cupcakes and frosting were delicious. Arlene was very responsive and accommodated my request for spring colors. I would highly recommend this for a unique and delicious dessert!

    Cake from top

    I asked if she was able to make a specific cake my daughter wanted for her birthday, and it came out wonderful! Tasted amazing, better than a store cake. She replied to my emails quickly and the price was very reasonable. I can't wait to order another cake!

    Cupcake wedding dress

    We saw a picture of a cupcake wedding dress and sent it to Hometown Bakery. She created one for us! It tastes as good as it looks!

The bakery has a small parking lot with about half a dozen spots. A policeman was on duty today to direct cars to the Walgreen parking lot next door when this lot was full, and to let them in when spots were open. As the line of people waiting outside the door to get in was constant, this was very smart planning and much appreciated. Some folks seemed to know St. Joseph's Day was very busy here and had placed orders in advance. These smart shoppers skipped the line and quickly came back outside with their orders bagged up. The line moved pretty well with four shop assistants helping customers. Only about 10 guests, max, fit inside at a time. Once inside bagged breads like sandwich rolls were on shelves while calzone and other meal pastry were in a case. Then, there were three cases full of zeppola. During our visit they had chocolate, pistachio, ricotta and original available. We got one of each. I cut my first zeppola in half and see the cream filling sits all the way down into the pastry. These are firm enough to hold in your hand and bit into. The pastry is very much like that in an éclair. Firm while being light and airy. The original filling is a lovely custard. The chocolate is a fluffy cream base I believe. Both were very tasty. I have two more to try and am looking forward to them. Between these tasty pastry and other items they had for sale there, we'll be back. You should check them out too.

My friend and I…read morevisited for dessert after having dinner nearby, and the pastry case was full of delctable treats, even though it was the end of the day. It was hard to make a decision, but I went with a croissant stuffed with chocolate, fresh strawberries and whipped cream, while my friend went with the Chocolate Mousse Santiago tart. Let me just say, that both were rich, high quality, perfectly prepared, and amazing. I really don't think you could go wrong with anything you order here. I wasn't in the mood for coffee, but my friend enjoyed a nice cup of hot tea. At first I thought the prices were a little high, but after I considered the high quality of the ingredients anad the generous sizing, I think their prices are right on target. The cafe eating area is spacious and is perfect for conversations or quiet work. The entire cafe is super clean and the employees were friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back!

I ordered an apple tart and a small piece was $7.50! Yes, it was good, and the cream was wonderful, but paying about $2 per bite is outrageous. The value of their drinks might be a little better. I ordered a Cortado and it was delicious. The volume of liquid wasn't too low. $4.25 I would give it 3 stars, but I know not everyone is good with money and many are willing to pay these prices on the east side Providence. The staff was nice, but nothing over the top.
