My friend and I enjoyed an afternoon tea at the lovely Elysian Fields, and... wow…read more Be still, my little French heart. Elysian Fields is the most charming European-style artisan bakery, it sells everything from floral shortbreads and Victorian buttermints to handcrafted perfumes distilled from blooms grown in their own garden. But, back to that afternoon tea. Treats made from scratch, a ridiculously wide selection of teas from Mark T. Wendell Tea Company (America's oldest tea house), and everything presented so beautifully. From the food and tea to the gorgeous presentation and impeccable service, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. And seriously, the people at the bakery were SO nice. The lady who took my reservation was really friendly, patient with all my questions, and helpful. Once we arrived, everyone we interacted with was really sweet and made us feel welcome. If you're looking for a whimsical afternoon tea where the food actually tastes as good as it looks, this place is an absolute gem. Also, come hungry. My friend and I skipped breakfast and came around lunch time and we still EACH left with two boxes full of leftovers. They are very generous with the food. One more thing - the afternoon tea is not a one-size-fits-all. You get to pick from a bunch of choices what you want to eat, and what tea you want to drink. They also cater to most dietary restrictions (Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, and Nut-Free) as long as you let them know in advance. By that, I do not mean that they prepare the sandwiches and simply remove the meat if you're a vegetarian like me. I had my very own sandwiches, and they were delicious. And last but not least, you can also the order to go if you'd rather host an afternoon tea at home (but, let's face it, it's more fun on site, and they have all the pretty dishes and whatnot!) And if you aren't interested in tea but just want to buy baked goods, dainty little items, or other treats, the shop has a lot to offer. This is a business I'm really happy to endorse!

Stumbled across Elysian Fields Artisan Bakery & Dainties on Google and had to give it a try -- and…read moreboy am I glad we did. This beautiful little shop feels like stepping into another world the moment you walk in. It's family run, and you can truly feel the love and creativity that goes into everything they make. From cupcakes and tortes to cookies and so much more, every display case looked amazing. They even had gluten-free options, which was great to see. Gabriel welcomed us in and took the time to walk us through all the delicious treats they had to offer. His kindness and enthusiasm made the experience even more special. Since it was our first visit, we were treated to complimentary shortbread cookies -- we chose lavender and rose -- and both were absolutely delicious. We ended up taking home a strawberry brownie, the tuxedo cupcake with dark chocolate and buttercream frosting, a vanilla cupcake, and the limoncello cupcake. Every single dessert was wonderful and beautifully made. This is the kind of bakery you instantly know you'll return to again and again. We will definitely be back!

My boyfriend and I quite enjoyed our visit. I was really…read morecraving a fresh flavorful, savory croissant, and this fulfilled my craving. I opted for the Ham and cheese croissant, and the sausage croissant. Both breading was fantastic. Good flavor, airy yet crispy, just really well made. I will definitely come back for the ham and cheese croissant. The sausage croissant wasn't really for me (the bread was) it truly is a big sausage in there. It had good flavor, just isn't for me. If they could make just a plain cheese or bacon and cheese that would hit the spot lol We also got their regular cinnamon roll. The breading had a lovely sweet cinnamon flavor and the icing on top had a delicious creamy taste without being overly sweet. The odd part for us was the filling in the inside. I couldn't decide if I cared for it or not, I was almost feeling it was pushing the sweetness over just a bit so l may or may not get that again. Even tho they have seating inside, it feels more like a grab and go. You can def enjoy your item there. But I wouldn't say a spot where you can sit and catch up with a Friend or read a book. It also felt a bit too warm and stuffy so cranking down the AC a bit would help it feel more inviting especially from coming outside from the Arizona heat. I like to enjoy a warm beverage with my dessert and I couldn't imagine doing it in there. We opted to eat in our car Service was friendly and patient. We arrived on a Saturday around 1130 am and their was plenty of items available Can't wait to come back

You may have heard of this adorable place as "the Beetlejuice Bakery" and it lives up to the name! It's super-cute and gives a worthy tribute to the movie and its characters. Besides the numerous props and the screen playing the movie, you'll find cupcakes, cookies and other treats and merch that have the theme all over them. The service is far from spooky - all the staff was super-nice and friendly. I hear they adopt different themes over the course of the year and I don't doubt they're just as fun. And just so you know, they don't put everything in the decor and nothing in the goods, the treats my friend and I got were to DIE for! Everything was delicious, beautifully executed, and the portions are generous. Almost all the treats are $5-$6.

Trust me, I have gone far and wide seeking the best for the money desserts in the area. Why best for the money? Because I usually take items to work for sharing. That can be pricey at $5-7 bucks per item. Often the expensive desserts aren't really much better than the Safeway Bakery. Cupcakesters are reasonably priced and also do custom orders. I love the selection of items and would recommend a trip to this place. I did get one of everything for the office. Super good. They also have vegan and gluten free. The current location as of 7/20/2022 is in Mesa on the corner of Main and Lindsay west of the KFC.

Bad day, tired or just focused? Not sure, but the owners were very polite and explained their products to me. They offer gluten free and keto options, too. You can build yoir own custom cupcake onsite (you pick cake, frosting and toppings). This is a small bakery that doesn't have an expansive list of offerings, which is just fine, as they obviously know what they're doing and do it well. You'll find cookies, brownies, etc as well. I bet they do a ton of custom cakes. I'll be back!!

We decided to just take one and share it and decided on the Frozen Hot Chocolate, which is made with Blue Bell chocolate ice cream, hot cocoa mix, chocolate sauce, marshmallow fluff and a "kosher" marshmallow. I'm just not a big sugar fiend so I found the shake to be extremely sweet and gooey...wife loved it! I didn't try the marshmallow but she said it was good and she could tell it was homemade. We decided we would try the store in Gilbert at some point this summer to see what other goodies they offer. Overall, a good treat and thank you for the free goodie! Sorry, there was so much going on at the moment, I didn't take a photo of the actual milkshake!

It was busy but we were still able to visit & enjoy everyone's company. The restaurant is well lit, nicely decorated, & clean. A local business, it has a family atmosphere & feel to it & the staff is very accommodating & friendly. I ordered the Mixed Berry Salad & got a large Green iced tea. The salad was very good & I'm glad I got the half portion because it was just the right amount of food for me. Certain food items came with a mini red velvet cupcake. I think it's to entice the diner to but an item from their bakery counter. Very good food from a mom & pop place...you can't go wrong! We all enjoyed our meals, the restaurant, & visiting with all of us. We shall return!
