First time checking out International Bakery in Waterbury. Portuguese bakery. I went with my dad as we were passing through Waterbury. The lady that worked there spoke Spanish, very helpful and sweet. Space was very ample , open. There is a selection of pastries if you are looking for something different. They had different selections of Natas, fresh breads, some sweet , donuts, and mini cheesecakes . Unfortunately nothing gluten free except the mini cheesecakes that were crustless. Prices were great!

I heard about International Bakery from instagram and decided to give them a try. The recommendation was to try the Russian pastries. I've never tasted a Russian pastry before so I wanted to check them out. The bakery had a variety of pastries and also mixed in were Italian pastries. I ordered a Nutella Egg Custard Tart, a Regular Egg Custard Tart, Raspberry Egg Custard, and a couple of Cannoli's for my kids. The regular Egg Custard Tart was okay. It was my first time trying it out so I'm not an Egg Custard connoisseur. It tasted a little bland to me but the Nutella and Raspberry Egg Tarts were good. In my opinion the Nutella and Raspberry's brought a flavor to the Egg Custard and gave it a little pizazz. Also, to pay with a card you have to spend ten dollars. The customer service was okay but not the best but all in all, I'm glad I tried something new.

NATAS. NATAS, NATAS!!! International (Portuguese) Bakery the best Natas around. Bakery is small with just a small selection of popular specialties on hand, take out atmosphere no coffee or seating. Staff is helpful however if you would like details the first language in here is Spanish and Portuguese keep in mind if you need to make orders for details. Great prices easy in & out access. Very Authentic in taste!!

Walking in you'll immediately see a line. Customer service was fast, attentive and the young woman who helped me was very sweet and didn't mind me taking my time as a first timer. My eyes were drooling seeing all the pastries and breads. I ordered the custard cups which are my favorite and they did not disappoint. I had 3 by the time I got home oops. I feel like I hit the lotto the prices were so great. Will definitely be back!

11.8.22 This is one of my favorite places in Waterbury. It's a nondescript building on Baldwin Street that's been there for years. Hidden in plain sight. The parking isn't the greatest but you make due. You know what you're about to embark into flavortown. The Portuguese custard cups are to die for from this place. Did i say Aaaa mazing!!! They sure are. The staff have always been awesome, kind and accommodating. They always have specialty Portuguese custard cups on the weekends. It's whatever they're doing or whatever that have bought for their special weekend custard cups. It usually depends on the time of year and what's readily available to them. The blueberry lemon are absolutely amazingly delicious. They're so complex with their flavor going on in a simple custard cup. The apple caramel are another divine delectable specialty flavor for the custard cups. There's also a lot of people favorite with their Nutella custard cup. Another amazing feat that they've mastered with their specialty weekend flavors. They only make so many of each specialty flavor Portuguese custard cups on the weekends. They do this so they don't waste any, so be prepared to possibly miss out on some of them if you don't arrive early enough. Every now and then I've gotten them where they've been overcooked. This hasn't happened much at all but it has been on a few occasions that I ended up not eating them because the shells have been too hard. Very infrequent occurrences. I've tried their sausage rolls but I haven't been impressed with those at all. I also tried some of their breads and their just meh in my opinion. But, Another crowd favorite which I'm surprised I haven't mentioned yet is their amazing Portuguese hard rolls that are also incredible. People buy them in dozens. These Portuguese rolls fly off the shelves as quick as their phenomenal Portuguese custard cups do. There's so many people that eat these Portuguese rolls with just butter on them. Fan favorites for years past, present and years to come. This is truly a hidden gem in plain sight for some of those who aren't aware of its existence. They've been around for over 20 years.

Such a sweet little spot. Very authentic and delicious Portuguese pastries and breads. Very large selection to choose from. Make sure to go on the weekend, the custard cups come in a variety of flavors including Nutella, apple, and piña colada. The girls behind the counter are as sweet as the yummy treats you'll find inside the bakery

I recently visited Las Delicias, a new Ecuadorian restaurant and bakery in Waterbury. The interior…read moredecor is both welcoming and cozy, featuring a soothing mint green color scheme and exposed brick accents, creating a delightful ambiance. As I entered, my attention was drawn to the enticing display of freshly baked goods, ranging from delectable muffins to various breads. The bakery section smelled amazing. The bakery section that's contain the breads is self-serve, where you select your bread,place them in a basket and then take them to the register. Beyond their bakery offerings, Las Delicias has a hot food section, offering a diverse array of lunch and dinner options (they also offer breakfast, but I visited after breakfast). On the other bakery side, there are cupcakes, cakes, and ice cream. The staff at Las Delicias were warm, friendly, and welcoming. I was delighted to discover that their menu could be easily accessed through the QR codes around the restaurant providing a convenient way to explore their menu. During my visit, I opted to satisfy my sweet tooth with their strawberry cake. The cake was yellow and reminiscent of sponge cake in texture with strawberry filling in the center. I couldn't resist trying their Guaguas sin relleno, a traditional bread specially decorated for the Day of the Dead.. Everything was was delicious and I look forward to visiting next time and trying their hot food and ice cream. The space use to be a bar and the bakery/restaurant still has a portion that still looks like a bar. The owners are still deciding how they will utilize that space.

The only thing we don't like are the other desserts in the case. There has only been one thing that we have enjoyed, and it was a Mango Toaster Pastry from our first visit. Other than that, we find the brownies, cookies, etc. to be pretty average...sometimes too sweet, sometimes too bland. Cupcakes are their specialty for sure, and we'll keep coming back for those.

There are different seating options including a back room which houses a beautiful yellow sofa, blue chairs, coffee table, and three arcade games. There is also a large room downstairs to rent out for gatherings such as birthday parties. Such a nice idea! The gluten-free cupcakes were soft, rich and yummy. I wish I had more. There was a really nice guy working the day I came in. He has been working for Hardcore Sweet Bakery for two years. He was very helpful and answered all of my many questions. He's a keeper! The only thing this place is missing is coffee. Then it would be absolutely perfect. Love this place! Snack and stay awhile.
