We LOVE the cruffins and scones, especially the Cheddar Bay scone. It's great with any meal, or just as a savory treat! If you have a special diet, they have you covered! Gluten free, dairy feee, vegan... we have tried them all, and they are just as wonderful as the full fat, full dairy, full wheat choices. We attended a wedding where the entire buffet was vegan. We were ready to leave after inner when we saw a van pull up woh those familiar looking pink Resilience Bakery boxes. The cupcakes were "to die for". When in Canandaigua, stop in and give Resilience a try. You won't be disappointed!

I have a gluten intolerance, so I looked at the GF options. They had a variety of cookies (peanut butter, chocolate chip, gingerdoodle, and oatmeal raisin) as well as a muffin option.

It is a shared kitchen though. Highly recommend coming here!

My mom and my brother had an appointment in downtown Canandaigua when I was home visiting a couple…read moreweeks ago. My mom said "walk around downtown and take some pics" I did that. as I was doing that I came across this little bakery. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE local bakeries vs buying the processed crap at the stores or buying things at Wegmans, Albertsons, etc bakeries where they no longer bake at the actual stores anymore. Thats just sad. Anyway, I walked in here. The lady was nice. She seemed a little sketched out though for some reason, but super kick back at the same time if that makes sense? lol Anyway, told her I was just checking things out and I would let her know if I needed anything. She came back out from the front and asked again if I needed anything. So, I got a blueberry muffin. I LOVE blueberry muffins, but I never buy them anymore bc I no longer eat most things like that. It's a sad, lonely choice I made....to cut out all the tasty treats in the world lol NOT THIS DAY THO!! haha! I could not resist. The looked incredible and for $2 a piece being as big as they were...I had to. UNBELIEVABLY delicious. I was so happy I got it. Was so tempted to get a few other things, but Ive been so good with my diet...I had to refrain from doing so and just accept my boring, no sugar treats, kind of life lol I absolutely recommend this place. Prices are decent, the lady is nice, but she should realize that not all of us are bad :) The place itself is super cute, very homey, lots to look at and HEY! its a local bakery! You should always support places like this...over Wegmans and certainly over....ugh Walmart! Thanks for reading, Yelpers! Cheers!

I am a cake connoisseur. I test cakes from many bakeries and compare the taste and texture…read more I am not as concerned with decoration or presentation, although an attractive cake is nice to have. It is very unfortunate that the old ethnic bakeries have gone away and replaced primarily by grocery stores. It appears that the children of the old ethnic bakeries saw how hard their parents worked and decided to become doctors and lawyers and such. The delicious cakes of our long ago memories are gone. I visit a lot of new bakeries trying to relive my past memories. It appears that most of these new bakeries utilize standard cake mixes available from a variety of sources. They may add an ingredient of two to try to make it taste more homemade, but they all fail my taste and texture tests. Most are light and fluffy cake with average icing. They do look good however, but that is not what I look for. I look for taste and texture. I was very pleasantly surprised with our recent visit to Sweet Solutions on Main Street in Canandaigua. I ordered two large cakes for a corporate event. One was Vanilla/Vanilla and the other was Triple Chocolate. WOW ! Both cakes were exceptional in both taste and texture. They looked great too. Both cakes were devoured by the 45 people in attendance. Sweet Solutions mentioned that each cake would serve about 40 people. They must serve small slices. Our guests had two and three helpings apiece. Everyone raved on how great the cakes were. I personally had three pieces (large by the way) and would have had more the next day if any were available. The visit to Sweet Solutions took me back to the 60's and 70's when Shreck's and Vecchi's bakeries in Canandaigua when I was a child. Both were exceptional bakeries that were local institutions. There are a few bakeries in Rochester, NY who make some nice cakes but they are not as good as Sweet Solutions in Canandaigua, NY. My wife is ordering another today ! I am overjoyed to finally find a bakery that can meet my high standards. I can honestly say that Sweet Solutions is the best in the greater Rochester area. Thanks for reading.

We have happened upon many local businesses selling Sweet Blessings cutout cookies. That's how we…read morewere first introduced to them, and how we have been buying them for the past year or so. Until this week, when we finally had a chance to visit the shop! The cutout cookies are AMAZING, like the best I've ever had. And they're adorable! The designs are constantly changing with the seasons and holidays. But they have other delicious things to choose from too. Cookies, brownies, cupcakes, the list goes on! You can find Sweet Blessings right on Main St in Shortsville. I've always been a sucker for these quaint little small town Main St shops, and this one is no different. There are cute signs in the window and a delicious smell greets you as you open the door to enter. There are tables and chairs strewn about if you want to stay and enjoy your baked goods. At the counter there is a display with a nice selection of treats, and they are constantly rotating stock. Behind the counter you can see cookies and other delicious goodies getting their finishing touches added on. I highly recommend if you've got a sweet tooth, are looking for a spot to have a treat and meet up with friends, or have a gathering you are looking to bring goodies to!

Wanted to like this place, had heard good things about the Pittsford location but this was on our…read moreway home so we gave it a try. We were seated in the middle of the crowded dining room around 1:30 that thinned out quite a bit during our brunch. Without a reservation you can't complain but we got bumped into a few times so it didn't make for a very relaxing experience. Our waitress was not very good. For the french toast she asked if I wanted a small or big stack. I didn't have glasses on or I might've noticed on the menu short=1, full=2. Using the same terminology or explaining would've been very helpful because when only one piece of toast arrived from my shorter "stack" I was very surprised. The mimosas were in small flute glasses which is way overpriced for the size. My husband's coffee was meant to have refills but we had to flag her down for that. She didn't actually bring us anything either, other wait staff brought the drinks and then the meals. The food was good, the ambience if you have the right seat is nice too. At the hostess station we overheard a phone call with someone requesting to be by the fireplace and now I see why. Will not return to this location when we're in town on a getaway this summer but might try the one in Pittsford or Penfield.

Five long years later, I'm able to revisit one of my favourite restaurants and I was not…read moredisappointed. Having made reservations for 7:30pm, we arrived early and waited for our table to be ready. We made a note in our reservation for a booth on the fireplace side, and the woman (host) worked hard to make sure that happened. After sitting down, we placed in a couple appetizers. The bacon-wrapped scallops were delightful. The bacon, crispy and the scallops incredibly tender. Served with a side of drawn butter, but these were delicious on their own. As for the loaded potato puffs, we received a generous number of puffs, and each one was also very tasty. The sriracha ranch sour cream was the cherry on top. For mains, we opted in for the prime rib, and Delmonico "cowboy" cut. The prime rim was incredibly tender, juicy and perfectly seasoned. Served with a phenomenal au jus, this is the best prime rib I've ever had. I can confidently say that about the Delmonico steak as well. This 20 oz. center-cut, bone-in was grilled to the perfect requested medium-rare. Seasoned perfectly, tender and juicy. Although I didn't care much for the gorgonzola cheese sauce, the steak was amazing. We also ordered a side of lobster tail. This was also incredibly tender and really brought the meals together. To end all things, we ordered their creme brulee served in a chocolate shell. This was a great dessert, although I would have preferred the custard to be firmer, and less chocolate sauce overall. I found the generous amount of chocolate sauce on the bottom of the plate, and on top of the creme brulee, on top of the chocolate shell they're served in to be over the top. Nevertheless, we enjoyed this dessert. I want to point out, all the staff members including the owner was very kind and welcoming. From the initial host to our server Lauren, to her boss who came around to ask us how everything was, the staff are very hospitable. Add in a warm and cozy dining room area with a fireplace, this is easily a 10/10 experience for us. We will make it a point to revisit more often and not years in between.

My wife and I decided to partner with Nolan's for our rehearsal dinner. The event staff were very…read moreattentive and good with communication in the months leading up to the event. Even up to a couple days before the event, they were very accommodating when a couple people dropped out of the dinner. Nolan's set us up in one of their beautiful back rooms to put on our event. They were also nice enough to put up a picture up on the tv for our dinner that read "Eli and Sam's rehearsal dinner". The staff were also very accommodating allowing our guests to go out to the bar to order alcoholic drinks, seeing we went with just the water and soda package. There was a little mix-up at the start of dinner, with the food sitting out for a little bit, and us having to ask if we could start. As for food, we choose the Caesar salad, roasted vegetables, penne pasta with red sauce, chicken Parmesan, and steak with a chimichurri sauce. The salad was well dressed and the lettuce had a great crunch to it. The roasted vegetables were cooked just right, and had a good variety of vegetable to it. The pasta was absolutely delicious, with melted cheese and ricotta spots on top. The pasta also had the perfect amount of sauce on it. The chicken parmesan was nice and crispy with some melty cheese on top. Now on to the star of the show, the steak with the chimichurri sauce on it. The steak was cooked perfectly with a texture that melted in your mouth. The sauce was good and not too potent as chimichurri can sometimes be. I think I went back for thirds of this steak... yes it was that good. The staff were very attentive and switched out the food as it was getting low. As for desert, Nolan's was amazing and special ordered lemon blueberry cheesecake for us. This cake was to die for. The wonderful lemon flavor, with the cold tartness of the blueberry with each bite, and the nice crispy crust... what I would do to have a piece at this moment. All of our guests raved for days about how nice the restaurant was and how GOOD the food was. We are so happy we chose Nolan's to put on this event, and we will keep coming back.

I was so excited to find an authentic Italian deli not far from my destination in Farmington NY. I…read morewas especially intrigued upon seeing they use Boars Head products. So I placed an order for 5 sandwiches to sample. I guess my Philly roots compromises my ability to not judge this kind of stuff against the originals, Philly hoagies. Alas, I still haven't found bread or rolls outside of Philly that deserve to be used on a decent hoagie. (Hoagies and cheesesteaks ARE about the roll, the taste and texture, above everything else.) This place is no different. It's hard to judge what is inside a sandwich made with really awful rolls. Sorry, but wherever these slightly crusty versions of white bread come from...not good. That said, they offer a fair quantity of Italian goods, I guess for this area, I should be happy just find some Cento products. Way better than Dario's in Farmington, but not even as good as very mediocre Jersey Mike's, solely on the basis of comparing the rolls used. If you're starving have at it. Otherwise, just a notch above Subway.

Coffee Cures Everything is a cute little side of the road coffee kiosk in Canandaigua, NY. There is…read moreno indoor space for ordering or lounging, so drive through service only. The gentleman working the kiosk was very cordial and friendly, explaining that they source all their ingredients locally. I decided to go with an iced white chocolate mocha, which I asked to be made slightly less sweet. The drink was decent, but a bit too sweet with an artificially sweetened syrupy taste which superior coffee places generally do not have in their drinks. While I'd rate the drink a 3.5/5 at best and probably wouldn't return, don't mind rounding up for the friendly service from this small business.
