I stopped by because I had a work meeting in the area. I decided to grab a dozen donuts for the meeting!! They were a hit.... everyone loved them! If you're in the area and looking for a delicious donut, i recommend stopping here!! They also have many different pastries other than donuts!!

This place is a landmark of the Elmwood section of West Hartford. It has been there for longer than my 68 years. The pastry chef beautifully designs their cakes and pastries. These are to die for actually. Great coffee and conversations happening here over their good coffee. You should stop by and taste.
