So delicious! Great location and wonderful staff. Pastry's and food are amazing, highly recommend!

3.5: I had high hopes for this cute little place but was a bit disappointed in the food. The smallish menu consists of a few breakfast items like avocado toast variations, an omelette, a waffle and a pancake, as well as a couple sandwiches, and pizzette. They also have some baked goods like a cinnamon roll, alfagor shortbread cookies, and various cakes; they seemed to have a dry consistency which isn't my preference with pastries. The spinach and chicken empanadas ($6 each) were also a little dry and crust to filling ratio was more on the crust side. The two omelettes were ok but one was more well done than the other and you couldn't really customize it much; the home fries were good though. They also have a variety of drinks that were interesting, especially the Peruvian coffee and golden latte. You order at the counter and then your food is brought to you. Empanadas just needed to be heated. The atmosphere isn't bad. There are a few small tables and it was pretty quiet, with a few customers stopping in every once in awhile. In the warmer weather, outdoor seating is available. Parking shouldn't be an issue either. read more

"Well, you should see Polythene Pam She's the kind of a girl that makes the "News of the World" Yes, you could say she was attractively built" (Lennon & McCartney) Baked by Pam is a very sweet Peruvian Bakery, coffee shop, and luncheonette run by a mother and daughter team from Lima. How cool is that? You'll find it in the Antonio's Plaza on Hopmeadow Street in the space previously occupied by Lox Stock and Bagel, a Dunkin, and a Lion's Den coffee shop. The interior is very pretty with a white and pink color scheme, but what really grabs your attention are the tantalizing bakery treats in their showcase - cake slices, Dulche de Leche rolls, and wonderful Peruvian cookie/pastries known as Alfajores. Pam also serves up breakfast with avocado toasts, bagels wraps, egg sandwiches, and heartier fare like waffles, empanadas, steak and eggs, omelets, pancakes and waffles. Add in their deep line of coffees and teas, and you have the makings of a wonderful experience here, like we did. We had a very nice lunch here yesterday and ordered a spinach empanada and a beef empanada for me, and a Lucuma Chocolate Chip Waffle ($11.50). My empanadas ($6 each) were wonderful. They are homemade every single day by Pam herself and were flaky, tender, and really loaded with fillings. The beef empanada was my favorite; the delicately spiced ground beef was delicious. The full-sized circular waffle was a work of art, garnished with strawberries, Nutella, chocolate shavings and bordered by a pillow of golden whipped cream flavored by Lucuma, a sweet yellowish South American fruit. When Pam's daughter Danitza brought out our foods, she gave us a complimentary Nutella Alfajor - a yummy, filled shortbread cookie. Ours was so terrific, we ordered two of them to go -a Classic and a Pistachio. When we arrived home, we saw a third small Alfajor was tossed into the box as another freebie. We really fell in love with Baked by Pam! The delicious pastries, the breakfast and brunch menu, the pretty interior, and the wonderful service -everything was stellar. read more

I so want this business to succeed. That said, let's move to the experience here. I was pleasantly greeted by the staff and my order taken quickly and efficiently. My coffee came quickly, which I enjoyed a great deal until my food arrived. I had ordered steak and eggs, which included some home fries and one slice of toast. The steak was adorned with a chimichurri sauce. I'm a bit of a purest when it comes to beef, I think it should be able to stand well on its own without any condiments accompanying it. This was not one of those occasions, though the chimichurri sauce was too much for what was a fairly thin piece of some kind of steak. The scrambled eggs were a bit sparse and a tad overcooked. The home fries were quite good with a bit of crunch and a soft warm center. The toast was, well it was toast. Steak and eggs and an ice coffee came to around $23. This was a good idea not well executed. read more

Made By Pam - Steak and eggs. 16 oz ice coffee. - Bakeries Near Me - Simsbury, Connecticut

A new Peruvian cafe in Simsbury! It's located in a small plaza with plenty of parking. There was a patio area and a handful of tables inside. I love the cute and pink theme. I am a fan of cafes and bakeries so I had to check this place out. On this visit, I tried out their iced lucuma latte, lucuma mousse cake, beef empanada, and it was so good. I could eat 20 of those empanadas! It's lightly sweet and savory. Lucuma is a Peruvian fruit which tastes like sweet potato and caramel. First time trying and I am in love. My son enjoyed their flourless brownie, my husband loved the chicken empanadas and black coffee. Side note: I did order another pastry and was charged for it but they forgot to put it in my bag, I understand, they are working on their kinks as a new business. I'll look at it as their tip lol. The employee was friendly. Overall, I'm glad to have this cafe near me and I'll be back for more drinks and EMPANADAS! read more

This place is incredible, great food, great selection, great people, highly recommend

Made by Pam is a brand new Peruvian bakery and coffee shop in Simsbury. They have a very cute outdoor seating area, complete with a cozy couch, shaded umbrellas and surrounded by flowers. The inside walls are pink, they have some Peruvian baked goods and cookies behind the glass. There are some seating options available inside. I was very curious in their Lacuma Latte. The Lacuma Latte is a Peruvian specialty. I got it iced, it was pricey at $8.00. I also got the Pistachio Alfajor. They had several people working, the wait for the latte was very slow moving. The Pistachio Alfajar is a pistachio shortbread cookie filled with dulce de leche and pistachio filling. For a single $6 cookie, I expected much better. For starters, this cookie was super dry, it was also very crumbly. The center filling was not impressive. This was a below average cookie, for an above average price. The Lacuma Latte was very tasty. Easily worth the wait. This is a unique blend of earthy, sweet, and light caramel flavors. I really enjoyed it! Made By Pam are pricy, but worth checking out. read more

It's wonderful to see a new Peruvian bakery owned by a lovely mother and daughter. There's a great seating area outside to relax and enjoy your treats. We tried their cookies, and they were absolutely delicious - not too sweet, with a beautiful pistachio puree filling inside. The breakfast menu looked amazing too, so we're already planning to come back for brunch. The owner was so kind and welcoming. Highly recommend checking them out! read more

We were excited to finally try this place but were disappointed. The chicken empanada was no where near as good as Im used to. The crust was too thick and dry, the filling was ok, but could have used a bit more seasoning, it was just bland. We also ordered the TresLeches cinnamon roll, which could have been a hit, but the cinnamon role was stale and hard, even after soaking for about 10 minutes in the milk mixture. Maybe it was just an "off" day, but for the prices, items should be fresh. There is room for improvement here. read more

There breakfast is exquisite I didn't expect it to be Peruvian breakfast but did not disappoint 7.5/10 (and this is out a a strict and firm weighed system of critique) Godbless enjoy read more

Great empanadas! Very good latte as well. Baked goods all looked amazing. My sister lives nearby she enjoyed it as well

What a beautiful space inside and out. We were greeted with a smile and service was prompt. Inside has table and chairs for sitting and beautiful ambiance. Outside there is a patio with tables and chairs shaded by umbrellas and outdoor patio furniture. The food was AMAZING. My son and husband had the steak and eggs and I had the capresse sandwich. It was all so fresh and clearly made with love. The desserts were also DELICIOUS! We sampled the small alfajores, and then bought some bigger ones to take home. We also loved the lucama cheesecake! We will definitely be back! read more

Came in because of the reviews! Left with a special place in my heart. My 97 year old Argentinian Grandfather was just released home after a stay in a nursing home. We talked alot about food from his late wife, and how much he missed food. I surprised him originally with the alfajores which he could not stop talking about. I stopped in today on my way to visit him, because now he says don't come without them, I was telling the girl (I believe Pam's daughter) how much these meant to him. She told me how they also make empanadas. Which is funny because all he's talked about is how much he missed empanadas, I grabbed him some, and some for myself as well. The smile on his face today was priceless. He said they taste like his mom made them. This is such a gem to our area! Thank you for making our days a little brighter and a little sweeter! read more

Food is amazing and worth the wait. Be ready to wait longer than usual. Waited almost 40 mins for 3 different items. Tried calling in advance multiple times to place the order but they didn't answer. read more

As a teacher, I value evidence--and while this is just a personal anecdote, I hope it resonates with others. Made By Pam transformed my wife's birthday celebration into something truly unforgettable. The cake was absolutely delicious, and their pastries are so good they could set the standard for bakeries everywhere. Their coffee is thoughtfully sourced, and the house-made syrups elevate an iced coffee into something genuinely special. If you have the chance, do yourself a favor and pay them a visit. You won't regret it. read more
