Hen & Heifer

Visited Guilford, CT this past weekend with my family, and the main reason for our trip was this bakery! I first saw it on my feed and immediately knew I had to visit. The shop is adorable inside—perfect for picking up desserts and snapping some photos in their warm, cozy space. They also have outdoor seating to enjoy your treats. We tried a few different items and every single one was amazing!

I ordered the milk chocolate passionfruit cake for my birthday and was absolutely blown away. I might not be able to wait until next year to order again. Thank you so much to Whang and the staff for the obvious meticulous care taken in such a unique cake!

Now let me tell ya, friends — Hen & Heifer in Guilford isn’t just a bakery, it’s an experience. You walk in and right away the air is rich with the warm, buttery scent of pastries that could stop you in your tracks. These folks are true French bakers, and it shows in every detail. Every bite feels like it was made with care and skill, the kind you just don’t find every day. Hen & Heifer is where elegance meets comfort. It’s the kind of place you find once, and then keep going back to because nothing else measures up. Magnifique.

This is by far some of the best desserts I have had! 5-star desserts. Everything about the items were thorough and well executed. The Vietnamese coffee is the best I have had. Had to order two! They have a very organized system so wait time is short. There is a little bit of sitting inside and lots outside. Definitely recommend this place! Worth it!

The place is great for a quick coffee. Their bakery goods are sooooo good. There's a great selection.
