Their speciality is fresh, mini donuts with many topping options - I tried the strawberry cheesecake, blueberry pie and ferraro rocher/nutella! Super delicious and was even better paired with their Oreo Overload shake. They also serve chicken or pork pinchos with bread if you were looking for a complete meal. And definently don't pass up on their passionfruit juice and customizable Italian ice bar! So many flavors and candy to choose from. Super down to earth owners/family, and they even have handprints you could sign around their truck!

The ice cream was delicious and so were the toppings however it felt a bit much to pay almost $14 for two scoops of ice cream with one topping each. To break it down, I paid $6.70 for one scoop of ice cream with one topping. However, I don't really mind and the flavor of the ice cream definitely did not disappoint I will 100% be back for more!

They have a dining room that seats about 50, and a bar that seats around eight. They also have a very cute outdoor seating area covered by a large awning. The menu is Continental cuisine leaning toward Italian, and is very well balanced where everyone should he able to find a satisfying meal. Our experience began with a couple of very unique "East Side Martinis", vodka, cucumber, muddled mint and lime.....so good I had to have a second one! We were then treated (gratis) to the absolutely best bruschetta I've ever eaten.....loaded with chopped tomato, onion, and garlic. Fantastico! For an entree I had the Maple Glazed Pork Tenderloin Medallions with mashed potatoes and braised cabbage. A perfect melding of complimentary flavors. This restaurant clearly has no issues with making very flavorful choices when it comes to spices and accents. The wife had the Chicken Special with fettuccine and lemon butter white wine sauce that was also very flavorful and excellent. Everything was so good that we had to get dessert, a slice of Almond Joy pie to go. The owner, Sue, a baker / chef, is typically in attendance, and has heen running the restaurant for ten years now. Our server, Jen, was attentive and experienced. They have a Happy Hour on Monday through Friday 3 to 6 pm. I'd highly recommend this place for everyone! UPDATE: Ate the Almond Joy pie the next day. The crushed almond & chocolate crust was incredible, and the chocolate glazed coconut was delicious.

I love that the menu changes every week there's always something new and creative to try. The flavors are fun and unique, and they really do taste as good as they look. From the classics to the specialty cookies, everything is baked perfectly. The pink box is iconic, and opening it always feels like a little celebration. Customer service is great too fast, friendly, and helpful, even when the line gets long. You can tell they take pride in their product. If you're craving something sweet or want a treat to share, Crumbl never disappoints.

I heard that there would be a brand new crumbl in my area and knew I had to stop by!…read more I have stopped by twice already and both times have been absolutely crowded which I fully expected to happen. My first visit there were a few people who opted to stand outside instead of waiting inside due to the lack of space. However, that just seems to be because they prioritized baking/kitchen space over waiting area space considering there are usually no tables at crumbl. Overall, the cookies for the week I went were pretty good, I was particularly fond of the strawberry cake cookie as well as the caramel apple cookie and dropped by again to grab some more before they left. Although not pictured below I did get a mini snickerdoodle and a mini mint chip ice cream cookie which were a bit lacking in flavor but overall decent. We also tried the s'mores cookie which we believed only tasted like a s'more if you made sure to get a bite with marshmallow in it and the Dubai chocolate cheesecake didn't really taste like much compared to there Dubai chocolate brownie from a couple of months ago. However, that won't stop me from coming back. The workers are very friendly and you can tell they are working hard everyday! I can't wait to come back to try next week's line up!

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.

Fascia's Chocolates is a family-owned chocolaterie that opened in Waterbury, Connecticut in 1964…read more It was founded by husband and wife John & Helen Fascia. An electronic technician by trade, John worked for the Bristol Company. He began to roast nuts and sold them at work to supplement the young family's income. In an effort to increase sales, he and Helen began making chocolates in their basement. In addition to chocolate nut clusters, they soon began to make caramels, toffee and creams. The chocolates became so popular that soon the Fascia's basement operation couldn't keep up with the supply and demand. By 1978, they opened their first retail store on Meriden Road. Two years later, John quit his job so he could make chocolate full time. John and & Helen were soon joined by their three young daughters Louise, Lynne and Laurie. In 1985, the business moved to an expanded storefront on Wolcott Street. As business continued to grow, the business would relocate to Lakewood Road in 1990, Thomaston Avenue in 2008, and finally to Chase River Road in 2013. The Fascia Family still runs the business, although John & Helen are now semi-retired. My family and I recently visited Fascia's Chocolates to attend a special "Chocolate Experience". We were escorted into a small room with other attending families. There we were greeted by Company President Carmen Romeo, who happens to be married to Louise Fascia. He quickly informed us, "I may be the President, but my wife and her sister are the real bosses." He gave us all a presentation where he discussed the history of the company as well as chocolate production in general. He gave all attendees samples of the three main types of chocolate (Dark, Milk & White) and discussed the differences. Afterwards, all children were able to make their own chocolate bar with their choice of toppings. My sons both picked rice cereal and Fruity Pebbles. We also got to take a look at what happens in the production area. After the experience, we all went into the retail shop and explored all of the delicious chocolates that Fascia's produces. While I distracted my sons, my wife discreetly purchased some chocolate coins for St. Patrick's Day and chocolate bunnies for Easter. We all had a great experience at Fascia's Chocolates and hope to enjoy their delicious chocolate again!

The staff brought us to the back room where they go over the history of Fascia's chocolates, the different types and percentages of chocolate as well as other delicacies they make in their stores. We were even able to watch them make other candies live while we made our own. We made a chocolate bar with melted chocolate, decorated it with our candy selection and were able to bring it home. Definitely worth the time and price to learn a little history and take home a sweet treat!

The service was fairly quick however we did arrive about an hour before they closed so I wasn't expecting to see many people anyways. The store itself is very cute and much larger than expected.

Same goes for the Baclava donut. The glazed is sometimes a little too sweet, but still good. Also, sometimes from what I remember the cinnamon and sugar could be greasy, but I haven't tried that one in a while. I've tried their sandwiches before as well and they're delicious. Service is awesome and everyone is kind. There are some tables of two to sit at near the windows.

I love the pineapple coconut cookies. I've eaten them for years. They are delicate yet the flavor of pineapple and coconut work so well together. The cookies are moist and soft. They are such a joy to bite into. This day I also tried the toasted almond cupcake. While beautiful, it was extremely sweet, even for me. I couldn't eat it in one sitting. I don't think I'd ever purchase it again. It does remind you of the good humor toasted almond ice cream bars that were discontinued. But I just wish the topping wasn't so sweet. The cake was blander to complement the icing but it just wasn't for me. If you are looking to host an event or surprise a friend, i think treats from this bakery say I love you! There is so much variety that you should be able to find something for anyone. I took one star off because the staff isn't too conversational which takes away from the experience. .
