I have the honor, apparently, of writing the first review. Foodies, take note. At last, Bennington has a REAL bakery.
I have already indulged in a very fine and fat eclair, a well-filled cherry danish, and have yet to try the beautiful looking barguette I bought and a huge glorious looking piece of carrot cake. They also have assorted cookies, cannolis, and cupcakes. If the bread is at good as it looks, I will return with the 5th star. Molto gracie, Sorrento, We need you.
Well, I tried the bread and it does need work - but it is still miles ahead of the supermarket variety. Perhaps it is due in part to not great water, not the proper oven- and it needs semolina flour. My husband liked the carrot cake, mainly because it was not overly sweet, but I found it lacking in spices. And Sorrento, please take lessons from Panera on sticky buns(or Pecan rolls).
No, for now, I will stick with the delicious eclairs which must be eaten within an hour after purchase - if you like the choux crispy. Said eclairs will be the death of me - but at least I will die happy! read more
