    I put in an order for a gender reveal cake on March 11th for an April 3rd party. I talked to the…read moreowner about all of the details in person. The cake was set to be picked up at 8:00 am. At 7:30 am, day of the gender reveal, I get a call asking if I could come in later for the cake. My husband and father in law go to get the cake at 9:00 and it was done incorrectly. I had to drive down myself, just two hours before guests were arriving. The cake said "Baby Herbert" which is NOT our name. There was a reference picture sent and the details were not clearly communicated to the bakers at all by the owner. The bow on top of the cake should have been about three times the size it actually was. The baseball stitching were two different blues. The actual cake itself tasted like it was frozen and then thawed out, especially the frosting. On top of it all, when my husband went to pick the cake up, the bakers let him see the paper that said "GIRL" and he had no idea of the gender considering it was a GENDER REVEAL PARTY. We went through infertility and IVF for 3+ years and this place completely took a once in a lifetime moment away from my husband. I was also told I would be called and NO ONE reached out to me. Absolutely awful experience and I do not recommend anyone to go here.

    This is the BEST carrot cake in CT. We have had carrot cake every year for birthdays and wedding…read moreanniversaries and I can genuinely say this is the best we have ever had. The service at this bakery is top notch. Highly recommend this place.

    At the suggestion of my Yelp friend Anne C, I visited A Cupcake for Later while I was in…read moreWillimantic for the day. Appropriately, I was not buying cupcakes for contemporaneous consumption. They were indeed for . . . Later. I bought 5 different flavors to share with my family. I bought two lemon, because I definitely wanted to try the lemon. I also bought a Chocolate Peanut Butter, a Biscoff,, a Salted Caramel Butter Pecan, and a Strawberry. I tried the lemon and the Salted Caramel. The cake and icing in both were fresh, and had good flavor and texture. The flavors were accurate to description. There was a small reservoir of flavoring that extended from the bottom of the icing layer into the cake. That's always a nice touch in my book. My one note rating-wise, is that the cupcakes were not as ornate as the top tier CT cupcake places I've been to. Still tasty though. The shop was more functional than cute, but it was definitely professional and clean. Service was helpful and friendly. 4.25 Stars

I ordered cupcakes for a birthday celebration for my husband who lives in a nursing facility. I picked them up the day before and they were perfectly packaged for travel. After keeping them refrigerated as required they were fluffy and delicious. The fillings and toppings so rich and fresh! They disappeared as if by magic! I sampled the lemon cream, Boston cream and the carrot cake. But the menu is quite large and price points vary by size and "fanciness." You're sure to find something delicious for an event or just to have with a cup of tea. They make cakes as well from small size to all size wedding cakes. The service was flawless from phone order to pickup and the staff was friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this wonderful spot for a treat for now ... or later!

You either have to park in the lower lot, or stop in when walking the shops. Some of the flavors are unique. Lately I'm stuck on Ube, which I was told is Phillipino eggplant. It has a slight chocolate taste to me. Again, there's so many flavors there that you can't get or find at any local ice cream stand or shop. Best part is they're open all year round, so this isn't seasonal. They do have a freezer unit that has many products and flavors that they carry, in 1 pint containers to take home. They have what was a store front window display area where you can sit and enjoy, while overlooking traffic going by. If you're going to eat at any of the area restaurants, don't eat dessert there, but instead come here. You won't be disappointed.

While we were there someone came in asking for a bourbon flavor which unfortunately he was out of but I did get the Kahlua flavor which I would absolutely recommend. We went pretty late on a Wednesday so there was plenty of parking and seating but I understand from my parents, who have gone many times, that it can get pretty busy. So plan accordingly.

I got the lavender strawberry ice cream in a waffle cone. The icecream was creamy and perfectly sweetened. They have a long list of flavors to choose from and plenty of outdoor seating. The area is nice and relaxing with cows adjacent to the building. There is also a sunflower field next door but it wasn't in season yet. There is a long line because the place is so popular but the service is quick. I'll definitely be back!

    There is a Food Bloggers named Cticecreamtour, who told me Buttonwood Farm is one of his top CT…read morespots for ice cream. I tucked away that info, because I live an hour away. However, when I was at Foxwoods with my wife, I realized we were about 15 minutes away. I messaged Cticecreamtour and asked for Recs. He said, anything with chocolate chips, and anything with blueberries. We arrived today, and I was hoping to get an Ice Cream Flight, which Buttonwood does not offer. Instead, I ordered a Banana-less Banana Split that came with 3 scoops, 3 toppings, whipped cream and cherries. For ice cream I chose, Mint Oreo, Peanut Butter Oreo, and Red, White and Blueberry. For my toppings, I chose hot fudge and peanut butter sauce. They do not have candy toppings, but they do have nuts. Cticecreamtour was right. The blueberry ice cream base was amazing. I think it also had a raspberry swirl, marshmallow and chocolate chips. A delicious flavor. Peanut Butter Oreo also was top tier. I liked the Mint Oreo, but it wasn't one of my favorite mint ice creams. The whipped cream was high end. The other toppings were good too. My wife let me try her Chocolate Chip sundae. It has one of the better base vanillas I've had in CT. Great chocolate chips too. A few other tidbits. People who knew what they were doing were getting fresh made waffle cones. I would recommend getting one. They looked good. Also, Buttonwood is known for sunflowers. They were not out yet though. A great farm ice cream experience. 5 Stars
