We showed up at 11:30am and per the worker it was a little thin but still many acceptable options. LEMON BLUEBERRY MUFFIN: -- nice irregular shaped appearance -- visually appealing -- not too sweet -- pronounced balance of both flavors which is rare with these two flavors when combined -- oftentimes the lemon dominates the blueberry -- tastes even better than it looks -- quite moist without being oily or greasy RATING = A JASMINE HONEY LATTE (HOT): -- smooth and just enough flavor and scent of both -- tastes natural and authentic -- smooth java RATING = A+ Quaint and country vibe inside. Very roomy space. Conveniently located near the airport for this weary traveler.

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.

We arrived late on Friday so there wasn't much left to pick from as it was mostly sold out (they close at 5). We made due with what was left for the day.

The coconut cupcake was also so delicious, perfectly baked. Can't wait to try the red velvet oreo and the smores cupcakes. I will be back but I'll be early next time. Thank you Lele!!!
