    Sooo beautiful, hand crafted decor and handmade sweets and treats! Fun for all the family! Small area to sit and enjoy , owner was very chatty and welcoming. My eyes could not get enough of the decor.staff did such a wonderful talented creative job,everyone must see/try this spot! There is a small table for one or two but that's it , parking limited but I was there at noon, so perfect!! This would be a perfect gift for any occasion and very creative! Thx Pete

    This was only my second visit to Pete's, and the first time I got a cupcake set - just wow! I was a bit concerned going after lunch because I have known cupcake places that are wiped out before noon, but Pete's had a full array of interesting flavors: Peanut Butter, Oreo, Caramel Brownie, Red Velvet, Apple Cider Donut, Cinnamon Bun, Pumpkin Spice, Vanilla Maple, Pumpkin Patch, Maple Creme Brûlée (see pics of what was available when I went early on Thursday afternoon). I went for a six pack: Oreo, Pumpkin Spice, Cinnamon Bun, Peanut Butter, Apple Cider Donut and Vanilla Maple. Our favorites were the Oreo and Apple Cider Donut and Peanut Butter. And Cinnamon Bun. The Pumpkin Spice was pretty awesome too. We weren't as big fans of the Vanilla Maple but are generally are not huge fans of things flavored with maple so likely just personal taste. These cupcakes are a civilized size - not the monstrous sized things you get some places and not teeny minnies. For us they were just right and the box was a well designed carrier. The whole visit was also a great experience, from good COVID compliance (signed, masks etc) to super friendly and helpful staff. Do make sure to double check on the cupcake names which can be similar. When I was there they had both Vanilla Maple and Maple Creme Brûlée which led to some confusion. But really I suspect it's hard to go wrong whatever you pick.

    Customer service is very friendly. I purchased a birthday cake and was also able to pick it up early. My only concern is that O had to carry the cake out in the open which made me very nervous because I did not want anything to fall on the cake or have it out in the open air, but there weren't any bigger cake boxes available and no cover for the cake so the frosting would not be ruined. I've never heard of this before, but I rushed the cake home to the fridge nervous as heck. Cake came out beautiful! We are very pleased with the details and smoothness. We also purchased a peanut butter brownie and raspberry bar. They were both delicious, decadent, and filling. The brownie is very thick; you get a good size and if you can eat the whole brownie in one sitting, kudos to you!

    Look at the details in the "stitching" and buttons.

    Outstanding bakery! Last minute cake for our 75th birthday celebration and boy did they deliver a great product. All layers were moist and flavorful and our guests marveled at the detailing on the shirt cake and buttons. Quality work. I was very impressed. I bet you will be too. Five stars.

    The cake I bought was delicious, beautiful and super easy to transport. The cake was super moist and not over sweet. Frosting was delicious, it did not tasted like dye at all. It was a hit! Will definitely be ordering again

    I would like to thank the staff At Pete's Sweets Bakery they really came through for my niece's first birthday party the cake was amazing and they did on such short notice I called on Tuesday for a cake on Sunday and they came through with flying colors and the cupcakes were awesome

    Chocolate and vanilla cupcakes (before I added my own decorations)

    Back in april 2021, I had bought cupcakes for my daughter's covid birthday party. I had ordered 12 cupcakes (6 chocolate and 6 vanilla) with a twist of 2 colors. I wanted it to be unicorn colors themed. They added basic sprinkles and a light dusting of shimmer to the cupcakes. It was kinda pricey in my opinion for 12 cupcakes and simple decoration/flavors but it was delicious and the cake part was moist. I did add in my own sprinkles and unicorn ears and horns from Michaels craft store. You can see the before and after photos of my sad attempt to decorate lol anyways I give this place a 5 star because even though I found this place a but pricey, I think the quality is there. I follow them on instagram and I love seeing their theme weeks too. I have yet to go back and try other treats they have. Im sure if you had the money you could get a detailed cake seeing that they do pay attention to details (theme weeks), but at a high price. I think I would still get my wedding cake there when I get married. *update -- third time strolling through to grab some treats but this time for mothers day, and I honestly don't get a welcoming vibe -- more of a dry "hi-bye" kinda vibe. I mean im used to the longmeadow stuck-up people because i'm now a resident of longmeadow -- but ugh. I recall it was like that before when I purchased my daughters cupcakes but just excused it for maybe they were short help or something (it was covid times). Oh welps. On another note, when I arrived home, my mothers day sugar cookies were all broken (I went straight home). I had asked if they had something to put it in, like a box but they said they would give me a paper bag instead. I know sugar cookies break in paper bags, and that did exactly that. Oh well, Thank god these are going to be eaten by a close friend.

    Unbelievable cake and cupcakes for our wedding!!! Pete himself called multiple times before our wedding to make sure everything would be perfect for our day and made sure our cake was exactly what we wanted. Not only did it look beautiful, but it tasted so amazing!! I never once had to worry or stress about the desserts.

    Beautiful gingerbread village for the Springfield museum!

    Oh. My. Gosh. Why haven't I been here before this weekend? Holy cow! Let's start off by saying if I could give this place 10 stars I would! I went with my girls for a Christmas event thrown by the bakery. They had Santa and mrs Claus with free cookies and cocoa (free is for me!) and we were immediately blown away by the store. It was decorated perfectly and it was fully stocked with treats. The Santa they had was perfect and Mrs Claus was even better (she had the food...). They handed out literally the BEST chocolate chip cookies I've ever had in my entire life. Like even better than mine. I'm not a fan of other people's CCCs and honestly hold my recipe above the rest, but these topped mine completely. I was floored and immediately hooked. And they had warm ones? What?! We also purchased some cupcakes which were divine. The frosting wasn't too sugary and the cupcakes were perfectly moist. Pete, the owner, helped us out and was so sweet (See what I did there?? Lol I'm so funny). We'll definitely be back. And his wedding cakes looked to die for!

    Finally stopped in after driving by everyday for some time now. As soon as I walked in I was less than impressed with the amount and variety of items for sale. The display cases were almost empty except for cupcakes of which I purchased two at $2.00 each. I was looking around for more choices and realized this was it. I asked for two slices of their Pumpkin Creme roll at $2.75 each which were also not displayed, but in the back. There was not enough variety or amounts to keep me coming back. I would of bought a lot more if there was more to buy. However, the things I did buy were very good, but were not priced reasonably. Stopped in again and nothing has really changed. Nothing really displayed except for cupcakes. I picked out 6 for $12 And was on my way. Again, the cupcakes are real good, but would love to see other things. The price of the cupcakes is like $2.75 each now, which is insane. Again, they are consistently good in presentation and taste, but c'mon Pete? I can fill my gas tank for the price of six cupcakes and six pieces of chocolate, which totaled $23.

    My son was craving a cupcake, so we decided to look through Yelp. He was really impressed with the photos of the s'more cupcakes, he has a soft spot for marshmallows. So we decided to drive out there. There was decent parking, some street and some on the side of the building. It's a cute little shop, with two small tables to enjoy your treats at. There wasn't much of a selection. We pretty much got one of each cupcake that they happen to have in stock. There were a few other treats: chocolates, cookies, pies... But I wish there was more to chose from. The employees were really nice and helpful. We got a total of 8 cupcakes. We enjoyed one each, because there was no way our little man could wait until we got home. There wasn't anymore s'more available, so he went with the plain Jane, the hubby and I split ours. We both had the peanut butter and the caramel brownie. Talk about delicious! Their frosting is extremely tasty. We plan on coming back, grabbing sweets from here and getting coffee at Shellbourn Falls. I would give them a five if they had more of a selection and maybe drinks? Even a plain coffee or tea. More seating would also be great.

    La Fiorentina markets itself as the best Italian bakery at both locations but they forget Costco is…read moreonly 15 minutes away with better cakes. Actually, there's probably a middle bake off somewhere... try that first. The Muffin Man who bosses everyone around in the back--affectionately referred to by locals as The Rat--will make your food with unclean hands. He sleeps around in Springfield so his longtime girlfriend in Florida won't find out about it, which is bold behavior for someone who has clearly never met a mirror or any man taller than his 5'6 stature. He flirts by purchasing expensive gifts for any dummy who will accept them, has zero respect for marital status, and treats wedding rings like optional accessories. If confidence were cleanliness, this place might actually sparkle. Now let's talk cannolis. Calling them "disappointing" feels generous. They're small. They're limp. They lack structure, filling, and any sense of purpose--much like the owner's tiny cannoli in his pants. One bite and you're left wondering where the rest of it went and why you bothered. In summary: dirty shop, inflated ego, morally questionable vibes, and pastries that can't rise to the occasion, if ya know what mean. If you're craving drama, questionable hygiene, and an extremely underwhelming cannoli, La Fiorentina is your place. If you want food that respects you--and your marriage--maybe try... literally anywhere else.

The sweets were perfect. The croissant came cold but reheated well in the air fryer. Overall a hidden gem. My only complaint (which is a borderline non-issue) is I wish they used a different packaging for the brownie. The fudge top completely stuck to the wrapper they used.

    "You need bread, try the bakery You need lovin', look here,…read morebaby I got just what you need" (The Doors) Well, whatever your needs might be, you'll probably take care of it at Giuseppina's Italian Bakery, because they really do have it all. Their website, counters, shelves, and showcases offer you temptations everywhere you look. Want a pastry? What kind of a question is that....sure you do, so how on Earth are you going to choose between these? Cannoli, Tiramisu, 3 kinds of mousse, eclairs, frosted or plain brownies (are you bold enough to get a brownie with peanut butter buttercream frosting?), cream horns, rum rolls, an amazing peach concoction of sweet dough soaked with peach juice and rum and filled with vanilla pudding (!), Sfogliatelle, Zeppol, cream puffs, NY style cheesecake, fruit slices (peaches and strawberries with whipped cream layers and frosting), pasticiotti, cappuccino slices, Amaretto Squares, Limoncello Cake Slices and Chocolate Brownie Cake Slices. And there's more - miniature pastries, Cheese danish, apple, raspberry and blueberry turnovers, Cranberry Orange scones, blueberry scones, chive scones, and roasted red pepper scones, lemon and cherry squares. Get the picture? And I haven't mentioned their Italian cookies, 25 cake varieties, cupcakes, cake pops, pizza slices, sandwiches and stuffed breads. The truth is, this place is fantastic and is clearly in the top ten percent of Italian bakeries we've visited. We picked up an assortment of cake slices, a croissant, a scone, and a donut yesterday. They all looked amazing! We started off splitting that donut, and it was great -very light, not too sweet and just plain delicious. Shout out to the young lady who waited on us, she was pleasant and friendly, and our interaction was a far contrast to some of the less than favorable interactions reported by other Yelpers. PRO TIP 1) Don't worry about parking- they're in a shopping center with plenty of parking. 2) How good does their fig, prosciutto and Asiago cheese stuffed bread sound?
