They even had unique cookies I'd never seen before but instantly wanted to taste. It's definitely the kind of bakery you'll want to come back to again and again just to sample something new each time. We tried a mini cannoli with cream and cherries, and I've honestly never had a cannoli like that before -- it was one of the best I've ever tasted. A true gem!

I'm glad I saved Peter Sciortino's bakery in my Wisconsin collection because after a meal at La…read moreMasa, I searched for a dessert spot and Peter's came right up. And the Yelp reviews and pics were right on target. I wanted to get so much more, but I was ready to bust a gut (meaning my stomach was filled to 100%). So I settled on a mini cassata cake which had hints of lemon, it was really sweet and gooey which I happen to like by the way. I also selected a mini Boston cream cake and the outer chocolate was a bit too thick and as a result, the cake itself got smushed as I tried to cut into it. I still ate it and it was good tasting nonetheless. Finally, it was my first time being here and I thought the lady could a been a wee bit more friendly. I mean, it was not that busy and if you turn on a little charm, people tend to buy more. At least I do, I'm a sucker around friendly and kind people. All in all, I will be back because the mini cakes were good.

We got a lemon meringue pie tart, chocolate croissant, cinnamon roll, and some macarons, and a tea. They were great to warm up the chocolate croissant and cinnamon roll! We got a variety of macarons, some of the more fun flavors included blue moon, cookies and cream, and Irish cream. We finished most of them after our visit and they were fantastic. There were many great bakery items, a variety of drinks, and some beautiful displays on the artful wedding cakes they do. Will have to be back to try some more!

They also had gf macarons that I will need to go back and try!

I have never been disappointed by a dessert but their cheesecake, cakes pops, and macarons are my favorite! The staff is always super friendly, quick, and welcoming.

It's perfect for breakfast, it's perfect for dessert, it's perfect as a midnight snack. I once purchased a bag of chocolate dipped crullers that were really fresh and quite delicious, but it's that donut that keeps me going back. Staff can be slow at times. No one ever seems to be in a hurry to serve, but they are friendly.

They also offer a great variety in rolls and potato salad. On my first visit, I also got a couple of condiments from Boar's Head that I've never seen at the store, and they are very good. My husband tried the crawlers and he quickly became a fan. On my second visit, I placed an order online in advance, and also called to confirm my order but when I got there they didn't have my order, and they didn't know about me order either. Fortunately I was there early so they could fulfill the order very quickly. Overall, the service is OK. The store is clean and organized.

Stopped in a few weeks ago and got a donut, cinnamon roll, snickerdoodle cookie, and whoopie pie…read more Paid around $20-25 and walked out with a decent amount of speciality sweets. Loved the cinnamon roll and amazed it is free of all the common allergens besides nuts. Would definitely buy again. Snickerdoodle cookie was quite good, nice flavor and crispy. I didn't care for the donut, I forget the flavor but the texture was a bit mushy and I prefer more of the light airy fried donuts. If you like cake donuts that tend to be a bit heavier you'd probably like them. I also didn't love the whoopie pie. I believe I got a cherry chocolate one and the texture was nice but not sweet enough for my liking. Will definitely return to try other things and am grateful for a bakery where I can get dairy free/gluten free items.

I mean what kid wouldn't be excited for that? So many freshly-made options to choose from, and this one was a winner. Definitely a very sweet-treat, and worth splitting a handful of ways, but boy was it tasty! I also grabbed a latte for myself, which I always enjoy here. I will say however, I wish they had other milk options beyond oat and whole milk. I say this with no means to complain, but both of those milk are very 'heavy' so whenever something like skim or almond is available, that's a personal preference for sure. Love the community feel here, love the goodies, will return.

They had a variety of baked goods to choose from- we opted for the cinnamon roll and the seasonal danish. We also ordered a cappuccino and an americano. The baked goods we had were okay. We were disappointed they wouldn't heat up the cinnamon roll, the reason they gave us was because the frosting would run and be messy. So the cinnamon roll wasn't very enjoyable. I liked the filling on the seasonal danish but I asked for it heated up and it was served at room temp. The coffee was good- we both thought it was weak for our liking but it had good flavor. Also to note, this place is very family-friendly. When we were in, there were a lot of children and families enjoying the space. I would love to come back and try the monkey bread; they were sold out when we arrived this morning and we were told it's a top-seller.

My favorites are their danishes, morning bun, and babkas. I love that they also have fun seasonal items as well. I typically stop by around 8:00am during the weekdays and there have been times where the space is packed. If you're in a rush, they also take orders online for pick up. You can either come or use the outside pickup window for your order. While the seating inside is limited, they have a huge patio space! I definitely want to stop by sometime in the spring/summer. :-)

The bag had a loaf of white bread, two cranberry orange muffins, monkey bread!!! and this delicious swirled croissant cinnamon pastry thing.

The two appetizers were surprisingly filling! The crab puff pastry had a great flavor, especially with the sauce, but it could have had a stronger crab flavor/larger crab pieces. The puff pastry was crispy and yummy, and it was nice it came with a side salad! The escargots were piping hot. The snails were small, but there were two pieces in each hole. The sauce was nice and buttery. The puff pastry was crispy and buttery. Overall enjoyed the dinner here. The waitstaff were nice, and the service was quick. The ambiance was cute.
