La Brioche Bakery

I really wanted to love this place, but was very disappointed in the plain croissants. Not only were they slightly burnt, but were hard on the INSIDE. I asked the shopkeeper if they were baked today and he said yes. When I told them they were hard his response was that it was because they don’t use preservatives. We also bought a baguette which was delicious. If in the area I would buy that again, but not the croissants, especially if they looked the way they did today.

I had a sweet experience at La Brioche Bakery. Even though I've never been to France, I felt like I had been there since I opened their doors. The owner was listening to classic French songs and was so lovely! Their pastries and baguette were so delicious. I can't wait to go back again :)

This is the best French bakery in Connecticut! Everything is authentic French yet home-style. The owners are very nice people, and it is always a great pleasure to come to this place. Everything is delicious there. If you are driving from some distance, call ahead to see if they are open or not. This is a small family owned establishment. I always was very pleased with La Brioche cakes and pastries.

Two things you must try...bread and Sarah surprises. The baker is so friendly and you can tell she really loves what she does and genuinely cares about what others think of her product. She names my favorite pastry after her granddaughter Sarah. Bread is fresh and you can easily eat the whole loaf by itself in one sitting. Hidden gem. You won’t be disappointed!

I've been there a couple of times now and each time is an absolute delight. The bread is fantastic, it reminds me of growing up in Germany and going to the local bakery every morning. I plan on making this place staple.
