I purchased a caramel cupcake, 2 glazed donuts, and a cinnamon sugar donut and let me say my companions and I absolutely devoured them! The caramel cupcake was incredibly moist and flavorful with a perfect amount of sweet with the filling and frosting. The service was fairly quick however we did arrive about an hour before they closed so I wasn't expecting to see many people anyways. The store itself is very cute and much larger than expected.

DeRocco's has made the move from its longtime neighborhood home in Naugatuck to a beautiful new…read morelocation in Middlebury, and I couldn't be happier for them. The new space is bright, welcoming, and much more accessible to people who may have never discovered this hidden gem before. While I wondered if something would be lost leaving that small neighborhood setting behind, it didn't take long to realize the opposite. The owners, the staff, and the loyal customers have all brought the same warmth and sense of family with them. It still feels like home. I'll admit, though, I was crushed when I learned that Taylor Ham didn't make the move to the new menu. If you read my older reviews, that's actually what brought me through their doors in the first place. It genuinely broke my heart. But loyalty goes both ways. I love this place, so instead of dwelling on what isn't there, I'm making my way through the menu looking for a new favorite. Today I tried the Jalapeño Whopper--bacon, grilled jalapeños, and cream cheese on an everything bagel. It was really good. I discovered that warm cream cheese just isn't my thing, but that's 100% on me, not the sandwich. I also ordered the Gootz: sausage, egg, provolone, sautéed mushrooms, and cherry peppers on a garlic bagel. Outstanding. I'd order that again without hesitation. I'm going to keep working my way through the menu in hopes of finding something that fills the Taylor Ham-sized hole in my heart. And even if I never do, I'll happily keep coming back for their outstanding bagels, incredible spreads, great food, and the feeling you get every time you walk through the door. And while their coffee service is a little different with the pots behind the counter, it's still fantastic. Some places serve breakfast. DeRocco's feels like home.

We got a half dozen - 2 chocolate chip, 1 blueberry, 1 Asiago, and 2 plain. One CC bagel has only 2 chips, and the other 4 (see video and picture). I love blueberry bagels, and pretty much everywhere I go, you see blueberries throughout, and the color of the bagel itself is a lot darker than what we received. There were only tiny specks in these bagels. Disappointing. There was no chew, and they were kinda dense. If you want fantastic bagels, go to Chefs in Cheshire, or Olmo in New Haven.

Cons: They're a small shop with limited staff and can get very busy. They make everything fresh to order, which is awesome. But if there's any sort of line, unless you have the time to wait, I would just skip it. Even with just a couple people ahead of you, you can wait upwards of twenty minutes between waiting in line, ordering, waiting for your food, paying and leaving. I always scope out the parking lot before I pull in and will keep driving if I see a bunch of cars. I do love to stop there when I can, though.

They have a decent breakfast menu as well with a few specials for breakfast also. I think I'll get to work early next week and try some of them.

The bagels are a little smaller in general (that's my opinion, i'm originally from NJ) but they packed a lot of flavor. I got a French Toast bagel with their house made strawberry cream cheese and it was incredible. I was really impressed.

Recently I went to Ground Up coffee in Cheshire and finally had a bagel that lived up to that standard -- They told me that they sourced their bagels locally from Shef's Bagels! I decided to go directly to Shef's on Friday morning around 8:30am. They had already sold out of cinnamon raisin! That's how good this place is. I opted for a French toast bagel which had that subtle hint of maple syrup sweetness (not too overpowering). I guess you really have to get there at 6am when they open to get your pick of all of the bagel flavors. Their cream cheese is also delicious! One final tip: CASH ONLY! (There is an ATM inside) This place is no-frills but has such a nice hometown feeling when you walk in the door. I love supporting this local business!
