South End Cafe and Pastry Shop 262 Brockett Street, Newington, CT 06111

"Rare is the day I find a place I both want to keep secret so it doesn't get too busy when I visit and yet shout from the rooftops how amazing it is. I just had hands down the best Ham ans Cheese croissant and Macaroon I have every had. These are my go to safe choice items for a Cafe and they went so far above my expectations I cannot wait to come back and try everything else on their menu. Wonderful staff and cozy locals only feel. Worth the trip. Skip the big box coffee shops and stop here!"

"Always love coming here. We wanted to get a treat after our lunch and knew I wanted something from South End. Their ricotta filling is the best around, so I got a cannoli and my husband got the giant oreo cream puff. Both were delicious!"

"Although this Pastry shop is very aesthetically pleasing to look at I was a bit disappointed. The pastries are very dry and the coffee isnt good. The girl left grounds of the espresso on the bottom and i just took 2 sips and threw the rest out. The lemonades are pure syrup and wayyy too sweet."

"Have visited multiple times. Staff is friendly. They have good coffee, delicious treats and a clean open space. Bathrooms are available, spacious and well maintained. I would say the coconut macaroons and cupcakes are the best. They sell pastry, cookies, biscuits, cup cakes, cakes, cannoli. Items are priced by the pound and packed in nice boxes so it makes for a great treat to bring for family, coworkers and friends."

"Cute small cafe/bakery with good food! My first time here and I enjoyed a bacon egg and cheese on a croissant with a coffee. I also ordered some Italian cookies and a pumpkin muffin! I will be back again! Enjoyed everything especially the pumpkin muffin :)"
