La Brioche Bakery

Generations ago the local baker was an integral part of every community. Households would go get fresh bread for the day or the week, the local brewer would go to the baker for his yeast, the baker was one of the most important people in any community. Nowadays we buy mass produced bread with 25 ingredients that has almost no flavor, no crust, no crumb, was made entirely by a machine with no care at all, and it magically lasts 7-10 days. This is not some modern bakery with large amounts of sugary pastry’s (although they did have a limited selection if that’s what you’re looking for). This is an old school French bakery that appears to be family owned where you walk in and get a delicious loaf to eat for the next 2-3 days. Highly recommended stopping in and picking up a loaf or baguette.

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.

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 :)

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.

This French bakery makes authentic French bread and pastry! I've been to Paul the French bakery and it cannot be compared to this bakery, including the prices; it's also nothing like Big Y or Stop & Shop. They are true to their art of making authentic french bread and pastry for all to enjoy. The owner is very warm and kind and the gentleman who works there too. It's a great little place! It's worth the drive from Boston.
