Pastry

Soleil and Suns lives up to its award-winning reputation. There are a few tables in the bright seating area. Service was friendly and fast. The large selection of pastries was mouth-watering. The almond croissant, covered in sliced almonds could have had a bit more almond filling. (I have high expectations for almond croissants and have yet to find any comparable to those in Cohasset, MA.) Fresh coffee was complimentary. The heavenly strawberry rhubarb pie had a nice balance of fruit/vegetable and crust. Check out the handmade reversible children's aprons for sale.

Been on my list for a while. Arrived around 4:30 on a Saturday and there were plenty of items to choose from. My favorites were the chocolate raspberry tart and molasses cookie, but everyone enjoyed all the desserts. Will definitely pop in next time I am in the area.

Chocolate Raspberry cake--sooo fresh, delicious, moist, with the most delicious flavorful combo!

I love this bakery and we are SO lucky to have it here in Woodstock! I look forward to visiting every time I come out to the area! Everything is made fresh each morning, with local ingredients, by a baker who truly cares about his products and his community! It truly translates into the incredible quality of the breads, pastries, cookies, cakes, and muffins! Everything is sooooo delicious! Their napoleons are the only ones my mom has ever found to be close to the ones her mom used to make and was known for. My mom was sooooo happy devouring every bite of those napoleons. The raisin bread is full of raisins and incredible. The cranberry pecan bread is out of this world and full of cranberries! The cinnamon croissant twists are so light and flaky yet flavorful! The chocolate chip cookies are amazing! My dad LOVES the scones! The strawberry shortcake cakes are one of our family's all time favorites--so light, fresh, moist, flavors balanced perfectly, and top quality! The chocolate raspberry cake, tarts, mini tarts, and bombs are soooo good--incredible flavor! The chocolate bombs, eclairs, and fruit tarts are always sooo good! The pies are soooo full of fruit you can tell the quality by how heavy they weigh--and then when you take that first bite, heavenly! Everything here is delicious! I love supporting this bakery as they give so much back to the community--with back to school drives, free meals given away around the holidays, free bread given to anyone in need any day, free muffins for those it would help, and free coffee always. I love the new coffee shop vibes with the tables and chairs, and Jamie behind the counter is always super sweet, efficient, and attentive. This is the best bakery I've ever been to! If you haven't been here yet, I highly recommend it!

Stopped here upon recommendation from a friend in the area and now I've been twice! I'm a sucker for good bread... first time, got a loaf of roasted garlic/ cheese/ black pepper (simply incredible flavor!) and recently got asiagio bread and a loaf of cinnamon raisin (pro tip: place asiago in oven so the cheese gets melted and warm!). Cinnamon raisin has been a nice addition to my breakfast-- sliced and froze it to eat at my leisure! Also had a zeppolle.... this thing was heavy with filling and delish! I plan to stop in every time I'm driving thru, in hopes of more delicious food!

An excellent place for a pastry! They also have homemade bread of all kinds and basically every baked good you can think of! They have won Best Bakery 10+ years in a row! The customer service is excellent, and the atmosphere is great too. The owner Bill is a great guy as well as a hard worker and gives back to the community. If you haven't been to Soleil & Suns Bakery, it's a must-try!

Wow

My sister took me to grab a coffee. It's a cute little place. They have coffee, ice cream, baked…read moregoods, sandwiches, and some other local goods. I grabbed a seasonal latte; the headless horseman. I enjoyed it. It was not overly pumpkiny. It had a nice combination of chocolate and pumpkin, with pumpkin being not as strong as a flavor. It was a nice taste of fall. We split a peanut butter cookie and that was also very good. The barista was friendly and the coffee was good quality. I'll definitely be back in the area. There was some seating inside and there was plenty of seating outside. The outside seating was cute. There was a little fountain, some swings and some little patio tables to sit at. On a nice warmer day it's a great location to sit and have a chat and drink your coffee or enjoy a treat.

"I'm all yours Put me to the test…read moreLove is my specialty" (Roberta Flack) It's hard to say what Alamode Specialty Foods clearly specializes in, because they have quite a lot of special treats everywhere you look on their shelves and inside their display cases. Want some examples? Of course you do, or you wouldn't be reading this. Cookies, muffins, pastries, beverages, bottled sauces and condiments, candies, nuts cakes, grab and go entrees, soups, meat pies, a deli counter, sandwiches, snacks, plenty of deviled egg varieties, breads and bagels, and to top things off, how about 30 or so ice creams? We had a blast checking out this cool little country store in Connecticut's quiet corner. We bought a hunk of Eggplant Parmesan from their deli ($10.95), a pint of spicy chicken corn chowdah ($6.95), two singles scoops of ice cream (PbB Banana and Mayan Chocolate) at $5 each, and a big Cinnamon Swirl Croissant ($4.95). The total was $32.85 before tax. We split the Eggplant for dinner, and I can attest that it was excellent. It was a big portion, piled high of very tender eggplant slices in a marinara sauce. Eggplant can be a tricky food and it can turn up tough and rubbery from time to time. But not here. I had the Chowdah for lunch today. It was loaded with corn, carrots, potatoes, and quite a lot of shredded chicken in a creamy broth. I was disappointed by the lack of spiciness in a dish advertised as spicy. But I'd get that missing spice very soon. The ice creams were very good but were on the expensive side for $5 a single scoop. When I ordered the Mayan Chocolate, the super friendly young lady behind the counter wanted to be sure I knew it would be spicy. Well, she was right about the spice; it had an undertone of chili peppers that mixed very well with the cold chocolate ice cream. But spicy rarely bothers me, so I thought It was awesome. The only bummer we had in our grocery bag was that big Cinnamon Swirl Croissant. It wasn't exactly fresh and was quite brittle and crumbly in places. But it was big, and the center of the pastry seemed a lot "fresher" and softer. That portion was quite good. We had a very enjoyable visit overall, and I can definitely see repeat visits to Alamode in our future.
