yum, yum, yum! After recently discovering I have food allergies, I came across this little bake shop on social media. I was so excited to try this place after I saw that they catered to people who are gluten free and vegans. That's why when I found myself in Ridgefield, I had to stop by. The staff was very accommodating and happy to answer any questions. I ordered a slice of the Chocolate Bourbon NO PECAN bars. DELICIOUS. Heaven in your mouth. Couldn't leave with just one, so I took two more to go. Paired with one of their cappuccinos, this made for an enjoyable experience. I definitely recommend when next time you find yourself in Ridgefield, CT you make your way over. read more

The best cupcakes you've ever tasted. Inside is so cute and darling. Everyone who works here is super friendly. All products are gluten free and I couldn't event tell, which is awesome. My favorites are the chocolate chip cookie, what's up doc (carrot cake cupcake), red velvet cupcake, and lemon raspberry. Definitely a must try if you're in the area! Whenever I'm home from college I have to make a stop! I recommend getting their mini cupcakes to try all the flavors. read more

We were going to see family and wanted to bring some desserts. One of my cousins is allergic to gluten. Cake Box is a gluten free bakery so it was a no brainer. People were lined up before they opened. After tasting the desserts, I could see why. First time trying gluten free was better than expected. We ordered a few different items. I think my favorite was the cupcake. I didn't try the birthday cake, but the others were airy and moist. The fillings in the middle were tasty. Stop in here even if you aren't allergic to gluten. It's worth it. read more

I was told they have a large selection of allergy-safe baked goods. It did not disappoint at all. I tried all gluten-free and they tasted really good. My favorite was the oatmeal raisin cookie. It was soft chewy and taste delicious. I would recommend all of their gluten-free choices. I didn't fully care for the lemon zest cake, the glaze on top wasn't my favorite. The bundt cake I would fight one of my brothers for. Now, I'm not one for sweets but I would do a Chandler victory dance for every bite that I just enjoyed. "Cake Box" is the real deal for an allergy ridden person who may enjoy sweets. Don't fight yourself by not trying this establishment out. My next go around I'm trying all vegan choices. read more

The customer service was spectacular. The girl behind the counter was extremely patient and willing to help make my cake design work. Ultimately my friend who is a baker volunteered to help get our exact wishes which could only be done in fondant. I bought 4 cupcakes to go (s'mores, salted caramel, birthday cake and coffee they all were delicious. My favorite were the salted caramel and s'mores. I also bought a box of gluten free to go and they were equally delicious and my family didn't know they were GF.

TRULY theeee best gluten free chocolate chip cookies I've ever had. I live in TX and first had these several years ago while visiting my family who lives here. I am in town again visiting & couldn't wait to come here to get some more of the cookies that I've been literally dreaming about since the first time I tried them. It is extremely rare to find gluten free baked goods (especially cookies) with the dense, chewy texture of the "real thing", but somehow this place does it with ease. Dense, rich, chewy, chocolatey...just enough sea salt sprinkled on top for balance. SO SO SO good. Even better than I remembered. I'm gonna have to have my family send me some of these soon. read more

We got a variety (including the mini) for the family, but the ones I ended up getting were the Sweet & Salty and the Old Fashioned. These cupcakes are DELICIOUS!! Very moist, soft, and fresh.

I'm a big fan of the cake box. For starters the special occasion and birthday cakes have so many choices and options, be prepared to spend time looking at all of them or create your own and see what they can do. Next the cupcakes are a must, drop in and get one, again so many choices. Next, the cookies are my personal favorites and sometimes sell out before big holidays. The secret is getting out. Next, gluten free or nut free no worries they got you covered. Last, the owner is such a big supporter of the town, of the bike club and so many charities about town, we are lucky to have them. read more

A very cute place in Ridgefield, which is a bit hidden, but once you discover them that's where you would be headed for your cupcakes. The place has a wide variety of cupcake choices and I ended up trying the sweet and salty and the vanilla coconut, and both were amazing. Though if I had to make a pick I would go for the sweet and salty. There is seating both inside and outside with about three tables that seats roughly two to three people I side. The girl at the counter was also very helpful and attentive. Definitely will become a local favorite. read more

I was looking for a bakery that didn't use nuts in their product and would be gluten free for my guests. I have been to many bakeries in Europe and also in the states and I have never really looked at reviews before actually going to a bakery. I started reading the reviews about The Cake Box which were all wonderful with the exception of one. Reading the response to that bad review from the Cake Box made me want to go there to see for myself. I purchased a chocolate cake and 8 cupcakes. It was the best cake I have ever eaten and my guests agreed. The cupcakes were moist and fresh and absolutely tasted homemade. Never go by any review. There was a line to the door so that also tells you that Ridgefield knows what they have. Absolutely fabulous!!

The Cake Box is amazing. I'm from out of town, but I was in Connecticut to visit friends with my husband. I can't eat any gluten, and The Cake Box had some of the most delicious gluten-free cupcakes I've ever had in my life. I can't believe they are gluten-free. I bought a pack of little cupcakes and brought them to a party because there were a couple of gluten-free people there, and I bought four regular-sized cupcakes for myself. I got a pumpkin cupcake, a carrot cake cupcake, a funfetti cupcake, and an apple crumble cupcake. I had a few of the mini cupcakes and they were really good. I've been eating the regular cupcakes and WOW they were incredible. I think I would even say that the cupcakes were better than most cupcakes with gluten that I've had, that's how incredible they are. They also had other gluten-free choices. read more

The article references the Savoy Hotel, Danny Meyer's hospitality group, "the pursuit of excellence," and repeated commitments to quality and consistency. So I thought perhaps, at long last, the espresso situation had been resolved. Reader, it had not. I ordered a Cortado to stay. "Would you like that in a mug for here or a paper cup?" An encouraging start. I then positioned myself beside the espresso machine like a wildlife documentarian returning to observe a rare but persistent behavioral phenomenon. The barista dosed the portafilter, then tamped the coffee while holding the portafilter in midair, applying what appeared to be approximately the amount of pressure required to test whether an avocado is ripe. He locked it into the machine and pressed start. Brown liquid immediately exploded from the spouts with absolutely no delay whatsoever. The shot was over in roughly four seconds. For those unfamiliar with espresso, this is generally considered suboptimal. The resulting Cortado tasted primarily of hot milk and faintly burnt coffee sadness. After two and a half confirmation sips, I quietly left the remainder on the counter and departed. At this point I no longer review Ross's espresso. I monitor it.

Cupcakes were good however I called to order a cake for my sons birthday and left a message that was returned 3 days later and told that it was now too late to order a cake for the date needed. Then visited the shop on a Wednesday in the middle of the day and the shop was closed - sign said open and hours of operation said they should be open. Pretty disappointing read more

Really convenient place on the main drag in Ridgefield. This bakery is conveniently located near other places youd run errands. I recommend coming here afterwards if you have lunch in the area.. We have wanted to pick up cake or cupcakes after dinner but they always close a so early. The cupcakes are pretty good if you get them fresh. Connecticut prices. read more

The Cake box in Ridgefield Main street helped to repair a cake for my wedding perfectly. I came in quite stressed as the serving would be within the hour, and they saved the day- the cake was refrosted and looking as good as new right on time. Great customer service and great team working! read more

The Cake Box by far has some of the best tasting cupcakes I have ever had! They are always super fresh and delicious, the staff is very friendly, and they have a lot of different flavors to choose from. My favorites are cookies n' cream and mochaccino. read more

Great gluten free goodies. Cute shop, too. The cookies are delicious. We served a variety of the cupcakes for a dinner party and our guests had no idea they were gluten free. Nice atmosphere for meeting someone for coffee. read more

They make Jewish classics like babka, mandal bread, challah and much more. They also make Italian and American desserts.

That could be a good sign with lots of foot traffic, but it could also mean a lot of college students, and who knows if they are cake connoisseurs? I decided to give it a try. I spent $24 on six cupcakes, only to be disappointed. They weren't dense or soft, just average. I should have gone to Big Y. Then, I saw the desserts in the glass and wanted to try the chocolate pudding. It turned out to be nothing more than vanilla and chocolate jello pudding with one oreo crumble cookie. A couple of bites in, and I tossed it. $6.50 and Not worth it.

Very cute place for baked treats and baking supplies. This is a great place to stock up on gifts…read morefor the baker in your life--or yourself. The items are special, well curated, and not what you'd find in a generic store like Bed, Bath, and Beyond, which is exactly the point of an adorable shop like this in downtown Ridgefield. The pictures on yelp so far don't do it justice, I wish I'd taken some to show how nicely merchandised the store is. Elizabella's has all sorts of food supplies like fondant, sprinkles, and assorted fancy sugars. There are also unique boxed mixes, like one for apple cider or pumpkin (baked instead of fried) donuts, or a dog biscuit mix with a little bone-shaped cookie cutter. There is also a ton of unique cake molds and serving trays. Every imaginable shape of bundt pan, plus ceramic bowls and trays, and some neat retro-style coffee and tea canisters. I bought a huge bottle of good quality vanilla on a previous visit that I'm still using, plus they have a ton of extract flavors with your typical mint or almond, plus more exotic like chocolate hazelnut. There are also the assorted kitchen accessories like aprons, napkins, placemats, decorative mixing bowls beyond boring clear glass, and a variety of teas. Definitely worth a visit!

We enjoyed a fun and tasty dessert break at Alina's. There are so many desserts to choose from!…read more The decorating is truly wonderful from beautiful flower and butterfly graves cake pops to adorable character cakes such as cookie monster, Elmo and Mario. For today's outing, we tried the mousse cake and the chocolate covered cheesecake. And, just to break a bit from all that chocolate (ok there's no such things as too much chocolate, I know...) we added in the tiramisu. All were beautiful to look at and beautiful to eat. There are several counter seats and then two tables for two so not too much seating but you'll end up taking other delights home as well (we added on an almond croissant). The service was super helpful. There is parking in front and in back. Just be careful if you need a handicapped space or a ramp for mobility. The space is very inconveniently located and the ramp to the sidewalk is in really bad shape. Other than that, Alina's was a very nice stop on a weekday afternoon.
