If you want to try things you really need to go there early, as they often sell out by 11 or 12. The shop itself is adorable and the pastries are gorgeous. One of my all time favorite items is a Kouign-amann and they do these really really well. If you haven't tried one it's like a buttery croissant kinda dough with sugar that caramelized when it's baked. It's a rich decadent item that's a must try if you go here.

A cute little place with friendly, helpful people. I was there at 930 and most of their product,…read moreparticularly the cakes and cookies were already sold. I found their offerings interesting and inventive but I wasn't blown away. I like that the pastries are properly baked so they are darker and more crisp than most places. The guava one was good, but very messy as there were square, white chunks of filling mixed with the guava preserves so they were loose and fell out when I bit into it. The Cinnabon style bun was completely cooked through, which I appreciate since the actual Cinnabons tend to be doughy inside. These ones are glazed with a bit of icing instead of cream cheese frosting; I enjoyed it, but I would have liked a little more. The chocolate croissant was generously filled with a good, dark chocolate, just the right amount, just loose enough to coat the inside. I didn't taste any orange in the orange poppy muffin and I'm not a fan of strusel topping on a muffin, as I like muffin tops. All in all not bad, I will give it another try if next time I have a weekend day off.

I visited for the first time recently and was impressed by the quantity of baked goods in the…read moredisplay case. I inquired about flan and was told they had 3 varieties with me settling on a pair of the banana flavored. I also inquired about another piece of pastry that caught my eye and was told it was bread pudding which I added to my order, a total of 3 pastries = $5.60, a certified bargain. The flans were excellent and served as a dessert for 2 on consecutive evenings. We were less impressed by the bread pudding, though tasty, it proved to be a bit too heavy. A return trip is in process of being formulated that will certainly include another flan, probably a pair of potato balls, likely an additional dessert, maybe even a loaf of bread and, if the timing is right, a pernil sandwich. So many options, so many calories, so little time.

I asked for submarine style bread or baguettes and they were still prepping them for the oven. However they did see me some ciabatta loaves. These loaves are perfect. They have the best crust and a nice dense and chewy interior. I just had one with some soup and some goat cheese and Muenster cheese. It just goes nice with everything. I am very pleased with the service because even though the employee who assisted me was clearly baking beforehand, he did not rush or shoo me away. He was very friendly. I am a fan and I hope more folks check this bakery out. When I went it seemed they were only making breads. Not sure if they do other baked goods.

It was cute but no one finished their slice and we ended up throwing almost the whole cake out. Maybe it was an off day but didn't feel like it was worth the $60.00 we paid.

My first experience with Alyssa's Cakery in Wallingford was for my baby shower cake, and it was fantastic. Searching for cake options in the greater Hamden area, Alyssa's not only emerged as one of the most affordable but also the best in terms of customer service. They were incredibly easy to work with and completely captured my vision for a naked cake. The cake was not only beautiful but also delicious, and it was ready right on time. It's hard to ask for more when it comes to preparing for a special event. Alyssa's Cakery's combination of quality, value, and customer service makes it a top choice for anyone in need of a special occasion cake. I will definitely be returning next time I'm in the area!
