I recently visited Le Banh Patisserie for the second time, and once again found myself overwhelmed…read moreby the quality of the baked goods within. I find that most bakeries drown their flavors in sugar, glazes, and frosting, while the pastries offered at Le Banh Patisserie deliver the perfect balance of taste and texture without being cloyingly sweet. If you are a fan of crossaints, you owe it to yourself to give these a try - they are golden and flaky on the outside with an incredibly buttery and airy center, and baked to perfection. Whether you choose the almond, chocolate, or classic butter, I guarantee you won't be disappointed, and will likely feel as if you just stepped out of a Parisian café. The scones are equally delightful with a crisp exterior while remaining soft and moist in the middle, and abounding in flavor. Also, be sure to grab a Doodle cookie (or two) before you go, and give the Vietnamese coffee a try - you'll be glad you did. Above all else, the owner/baker is one of the friendliest and most personable people you are likely to meet, and I could have spent the entire afternoon talking with her. After complimenting her on the quality of her treats and contemplating the lack of decent bakeries in the area, she was generous enough to recommend other establishments which she thought would be worth trying. In addition, after telling her I would love to possess her skill, she encouraged me to give it a try and even gave me a few resources with which to begin my baking journey. Overall, I can highly recommend this hidden gem as perhaps the finest confectionary I have ever had the good fortune to stumble across, and would honestly suggest to anyone that they would be doing themselves an incredible disservice by failing to stop in one afternoon and give Le Banh Patisserie a try​

I really wanted to have a great experience with this bakery, especially since this was our wedding…read morecake. The cake itself was beautiful, but unfortunately that's where our positive experience ended. We ordered a lemon cake, and when we cut into it at our wedding, there was absolutely no lemon flavor and the cake was extremely dry. My husband and every guest who tried it said the same thing. No one even knew it was supposed to be lemon until I told them. It was also the only dessert we served, which made it even more disappointing. I reached out afterward hoping the owner would at least acknowledge that something may have gone wrong. Instead, I was repeatedly told that she knew the cake was made correctly and that she had personally tasted everything. I was offered a discount on a future cake, which honestly didn't feel like much of a resolution after being so disappointed with our wedding cake. What bothered me most was how the situation was handled. As a small business owner myself, I understand that things can go wrong. I wasn't expecting perfection I was hoping for some accountability and an effort to make things right. I sent one final email explaining how disappointed I was and never received a response. The cake looked beautiful, but unfortunately the taste and the customer service afterward left us extremely disappointed.

I had a wonderful first experience at Taste by Spellbound. While I had never been or tasted their…read moretreats myself, I have heard great things for a long time and followed them online. After eyeing many specials in the past, finally came a sundae special that was simply too impressive seeming, and raved about specifically, to pass on. It was their bruleed banana sundae. It featured a base of warm banana bread, then soft serve, biscoff sauce, caramel, whipped cream, bruleed bananas, feuilletine, and sea salt. It was to die for. I was surprised by how light it was, and the sweetness was not over powering. Absolutely delightful. I brought some other goodies to family, and each was adored. A chocolate brookie, salted honey macadamia bar, and a salted caramel macaron. I tasted and was quite impressed by the macadamia bar. I believe it was a shortbread base and the use of honey vs a heavier alternative or caramel kept it from being a sugar a bomb, which I quite liked. It was another well balanced treat. The blueberry lemonade was also quite tasty. I loved the interior space. It's quite spacious with plenty of seating to sit with your treats and enjoy them there. I think that sets them apart from a lot of the other sweet shops in the area. Everyone there was super helpful and cheerful. I really did just love my time there. Great place. Would definitely recommend a stop in!

"Jenny Jenny you're the girl for me Oh, you don't know me…read more But you make me so happy" (Tommy Tutone) Pastel prettiness will be your first reaction when you cross the threshold and enter Jenna's sweet world. Pastel colored macarons, pastel colored cupcake icings, and a pastel pink greeting of "Sweet Life" on the wall. The showcases and counters are filled with beautiful baked goods - cakes, cookies, cupcakes, cakesicles, macarons, bars, custom chocolate dipped treats, and cannolis. We had a tough time deciding what to buy, and after much deliberation chose a Brookie ($4.75) - a Blondie-ish half brownie and half cookie, and a mini blueberry cheesecake cupcake (also $4.75). They were both very good, but that Brookie was in a class of its own! It was amazing, and if you like dense, chewy, sweet, chocolatey treats, well you really need to get your sweet self over to Sweets By Jenna!

They've been around since 2012 and offers a variety of treats; from macarons, cupcakes, bars, pies, truffles, and cookies. There are three locations; Avon, South Windsor, and West Hartford. This one in Avon is super cute and whimsical; love the decor with the picture frames on the wall. There was a table and some chairs to enjoy your treats. I decided to get a few macarons, bars, and a cupcake. All were so good but my favorite were the macarons. They were the perfect texture, lightly crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. This place is definitely a gem and I can't wait to go back!
