Thanks to a friend for the referral to La Deliziosa in the Little Italy section of Poughkeepsie…read more Back in the day, this area was busy and now it's not. We did sit outside after 5 and it got busy as folks drove in and walked up after work. So, for us..I told hubby he didn't need to buy anything because he already had sweets in the hotel room. However once he had a look at the cases, he just had to buy something! His favorite is the lobster tail and cannoli and I had to get the black and white cookie. We sat outside and since I had to be on a call, hubby went in for a strawberry ice. No chocolate until the weekend . A couple of bites of the black and white cookie for me right away. It's not overly make my teeth rattle sweet and the crumb is very much like a cake. I ate the rest after dinner and it quickly had hardened. Hubby LOVED the lobster tail. 5 out of 5. Hubby took a taste of the cannoli and gave it a thumbs up. He enjoyed the water ice more than Ralph's because it wasn't as icy. Local businesses are so important to the local community and it seems that La Deliziosa is holding its own. Regardless let's keep them going!

The downside is it's not in Manhattan or another high rent district, so $11.50 for a small slice, plus 4% for using my debit card doesn't add up. It was really good though.

Pastries are great but a bit pricey, will still give 5 stars! Was craving for Dubai chocolate and…read moretheir little bar was $15. Some pastries are $6 dollars depends on which one you get. I like this place because I have a sweet tooth but I don't want that sweet (iykyk) Got some croissants as well my favorite is the cannoli croissant! They also have this box thats called "imperfect box" for $10. First time trying their boba tea as well I got matcha hubby got brown sugar. They have amazing cakes and pastries on their instagram page. The service was nice, I waited a little time she was very attentive to details of my bubble milk tea (stickers etc) The place has nice ambiance with cute decors (as pictured)

The donut was very crumbly and a bit hard to eat but having it around the straw helped especially at an event like this where you don't want to get your hands too dirty with finger foods. I felt that there could be more apple cider flavor because despite what you can see in the picture, there's a LOT of ice cream in there!! But overall loved the creative seasonal options!

This is my wife's business. She has been making cakes for so long we decided to move into making…read moreher own business. What a wonderful idea we had and a great team we make.

Do you have a special occasion that you'd like to make a little sweeter? Dana can do it. Every cake she makes is unique. She is easy to work with and will not disappoint you.

I came in to try this tucked away treasure I drive by often. I got a cannoli cream cake cup and a…read morechocolate almond strawberry bar. The cup has very moist cake, not dried out, cannoli filling was very creamy and pretty generously layered at least four times in the cup. The bar was very light and sweet, never had a chocolate bar that was not heavy, wish there was a bit more of strawberry filling, that was perfect, also loved the chopped almonds on top. Would like to stop on again when they have more selections

New local bakery alert!…read more In town visiting the parents and they mention a craving for something sweet. I decided to do a quick search to see if options have improved since a lot of the shops around here are only open 3-4/week. Calculated Confections popped up as being recently opened. The interior is clean with a small seating area. The owner came out to greet me and shared that she was working in the finance industry for 20 years before deciding to branch out and start her own business, hence the name Calculated Confections. Every day she posts a math problem on the blackboard and awards a baked goodie to the first few customers who can solve the equation. She had a nice selection of brownies with or without nuts, g-free and egg free chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal cookies, scones, rolls, cupcakes, cheesecakes, cannolis, and cake slices. My parents split the chocolate cake while I had the red velvet cupcake and a chocolate chip cookie that I won from solving the math problem. They liked how the cake wasn't too sweet and was moist. The cookie was very good and the icing on the red velvet was good but the actual cupcake was missing something - it was still good, just lacking that classic red velvet flavor. I highly recommend this place. It's right on 52 and just a short walk to the rail trail entrance. I'll definitely be back to try the cafe menu.
