Both were very good. They offer to heat it up for you, or take home from the pan and heat up yourself. We also got some cookies and a cinnamon elephant ear for treats. They were probably some of the best Italian cookies I've had!

I asked my friend who speaks Spanish to call with me, and he was able to translate, which is fine, but you should know, I'm not sure if anyone that runs the bakery speaks English. For me that is the perfect indication of traditional food prep, so wonderful! I know a little Spanish, and used a translator on my first call, but then had to call in my buddy. We had a laugh about it, and some fun, and sure enough, when I showed up a week later to drive from Simsbury to Meriden, my order was ready, and it was only $1 per roll. Just fantastic. Gracias, Mana Bakery! Quiero que sepas que realmente hiciste una diferencia para mi fiesta y nos hiciste muy felices a todos. ¡¡Muchas gracias!!

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 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.

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!

Upon walking in, we were greeted by the overwhelming range of pastries, cookies, cakes and other italian desserts. It was impressive. We decided on a variety of desserts that could be sampled for that evening. The Lemon Cheesecake slices were a must and we got two. We tried two of their Cream Horns, one topped with semi-sweet chocolate chips and the other, milk chocolate chips. We got a standard Cookies & Cream Cake slice that had chocolate cake with a cookies and cream frosting. Our last slice was a ricotta and chocolate cream cake, the texture was like pudding! We really enjoyed all the treats. The lemon cheesecake was my favorite; tangy, rich, smooth and buttery crust. The young lady that served us was helpful, but we felt the vibe that she was a little annoyed. Firstly, none of the items in the pastry cases had display labels. It was a lot of pointing and asking what was what. Secondly, I have a few food allergies. She said she would let us know. We were picking pastries and cakes solely from their looks or what we thought they were. I think it would be more efficient if the items were clearly marked, especially with the large variety Mozzicato's has. I think we would stop in at Mozzicato's again. The bakery is large with seating inside and outside to have a treat and a cup of coffee. The price for 6 pasties/slices was pleasantly surprising and not too expensive.
