We wanted to say how awesome our Thanksgiving Meal was this year thanks to the food from LuAnn's. We ordered the family meal which stated it would serve 6 - 8 people. We ended up with 11 people due to my brother-in-law and his family surprising us by coming up from Maryland and there was PLENTY!!! I love leftovers and there was enough for more than 2 days of leftover yumminess!! I don't eat squash and it was probably one of my favorite dishes. Everything was just DELICIOUS! The cost was extremely reasonable for all the food we had and I am excited to be able to do this again next year!!! THANKS

If you weren't already aware of this place, then you were missing out. LuAnn's bakery is by far one of the best bakeries, breakfast spots, and coffee shops all-in-one. My wife and I tend to find ourselves there at least once a month if not more. I would highly recommend their cold brew and quiche combo and if you have a sweet tooth then pick up one of the monkey bread muffins. I am a little hesitant saying all this because I don't want it to become more a popular spot than it already is.

My oh my! In Ellington for a swim meet for our daughter at the Y, and looked to Yelp for a good spot to grab lunch. Our fellow Yelpers did not let us down - LuAnn's was all that. The shop is quaint but very happening. Everyone was friendly. The food was top notch. Had the seasonal Autumn Pear Panini with the side salad (with house dressing) and a Nutella Ice Coffee. Every bite was delicious and memorable. Our family is not at the point of indoor dining yet. No problem - there is ample outdoor seating. On this mild afternoon we actually thoroughly enjoyed the scenery being outside while

I'm in town for my little girls swim meet at the Y and we had some time to kill between the warm-ups and race so we headed to this cute cafe I had bookmarked to grab lunch. My one regret is that we live an hour away because EVERYTHING was so delicious. The latte is so yummy. The salad was fresh, the dressing and croutons were a 10/10. I got the Miss Mollie panini and it was literally Christmas on bread. Amazing! Never had anything like that, perfect for a fall day. The praline and cinnamon sweet flavors of the baked ham were so delightful. Will def look to be back sometime. Also, peep the

I went today for the first time with my daughters for lunch and it was delicious. My daughters love the grill cheeses and my wrap was really good too. I also tried the Nutella latte and was so delicious. The place has a beautiful view and we really enjoyed it. I can see why they have so many costumers. Definitely going back !!!

LuAnn's bakery did an excellent job creating a 50's themed birthday cake for my mothers party. The cake was delicious and so big! Everyone commented how great it was. They emailed back and forth to make sure we had all the details correct and followed up after the party to see how the cake was. Great customer service and very well priced for the cake we recieved. I will definitely be working with them again in the future!

Luann's bakery was accommodating from the very start for our wedding cupcakes and cake. The baker made sure to communicate with me via email, offering suggestions from her past experience. The cupcakes were a hit! I had initially thought I had ordered to many, but found that guests gobbled them up! They offered unique flavors like pina colada and mint chocolate chip. Some of them even looked like ice cream, my favorite treat! Our wedding cake was also perfect.The lemon raspberry layering with buttercream frosting was to die for! We are so happy that we chose this small business and highly

I have never been let down by LuAnns! The quality is always amazing as well as the customer service. I recommend that everyone who is interested follow them on Instagram. The person who posts for them does an excellent job and they always update the special items for the day. The variety changes so often you can never get bored. It is worth spending the extra couple minutes in the morning to stop by!

This little bakery and café was absolutely amazing! My fiancé live in the next town over, and when I heard of this place, we had to stop. And it was definitely not a disappointment. The coffee was great, not only tasting the flavoring, but also the taste of espresso. For some reason, a lot of other places find this hard to do. Not here!! If you've stumbled across this place, you won't regret it!

Good service. I had ordered easter sunday dessert and rolls. The rolls were on point and just amazing. We also have ordered the flourless chocolate cake. Which my sister had. She enjoyed it and said it was super rich. I had peach crumb pie. So I can't say it was the best or favorite peach pie I have tasted. The crumb on top was very soggy. And peach filling tasted too sweet and had inconsistent taste. My brother-in-law ordered the apple pie but he didn't eat it while I was there so I'm not sure what his opinion is on it.

So I lived in Vernon, CT for a few years and loved going to the Ellington farmers market around the corner every weekend. Every time without fail, I had to get a chocolate zucchini bread, an iced coffee and a muffin from Luann's! I remember seeing their booth grow bigger and bigger every year. The lines were always wrapped around the market and for a good reason!
I was so happy to see their storefront come to life in 2017, and now they have a new drive-through location! It's located at the Big Y Express across from the Big Y in Ellington and I checked it out the other day I got a

Great lunch at Luanns today. After going to the main location a few times, my bf and I decided to check out the drive thru location and it did not disappoint. Although the line was kind of long with cars, it moved pretty fast and we were at the ordering station before we knew it. I was a little under prepared and ordered the first things I saw on the menu: a frozen Carmel latte, pulled pork sandwich which came with a side (I picked a salad w/ the house dressing) and my bf got a cappuccino with a lemon poppy seed scone. Ever thing we ordered was delish and so fresh. The salad had the yummiest croutons

I've had Luann's bookmarked forever and I finally made it. All of the sweets looked amazing and the place is very charming. People were starting to order lunch plates and everything that came out looked great. My bread and cupcake were delicious.
My reason for 3 stars instead of 4 is service. The cashier who waited on us was not there in spirit. It took a very long time to get a cup a coffee. Then a very long time to get the cream and sugar. A very long time to get a stirrer. A very long time to get a napkin. It just turned out to be a more frustrating visit than I had hoped for.

Cozy cafe with homemade baked goods, a bunch of coffee options, and both a breakfast and lunch menu. The space is fairly small, but it is very cute and the employees are incredibly friendly. They also have a giant parking lot + a couple makeshift seats outside as well.
I came with my mom and we got 2 different baked goods, a breakfast wrap, a regular coffee, and a salted caramel latte between us. The baked goods were very tasty, especially their cinnamon roll. The breakfast wrap was also solid. Their coffee...not so great. My late's flavoring was not mixed up at all so I didn't taste

I don't know how it took me so long to learn about this gem since I grew up in nearby Enfield, but once you know about LuAnn's...you KNOW. The ambiance is wonderful, the staff are so friendly, and the baked goods are equally beautiful and delicious. Since I'm vegan, I can't try everything available, but it's fantastic that they have options for me. (The vegan blueberry donut is particularly tasty.)

This is a cozy breakfast spot on the "East side" as I like to call it to catch up with friends over coffee.
I met a friend here today for breakfast based my fellow Yelpers recommendation and I wasn't disappointed. The customer service was great and the restaurant was warm and cozy with a fireplace and views of glistening snow in the neighborhood.
With some help, I ordered and tried the chocolate chip scone with a scrambled egg bowl (toppings of red peppers, onions and roasted sweet potatoes), and black coffee.
Coffee was good. Egg bowl was tasty but I didn't really enjoy

The service is beautiful, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, the quality of the tea and the food is incredible. I had sweet potato soup and the portion was huge. The flavor was classic delicious. I sat in there for about 6 hours to work so they obliged my request: English breakfast with oat milk and honey. Incredible.

Luann's hits it out of the park on every category. Food is fresh, tasty and the combinations of ingredients is creative on regular menu items and daily specials. My favorite coffee in the state, not sure if it's the beans they use or the equipment, but it is amazing, and reasonably priced. You can get it hot or iced, and each month they pick a beverage that they donate $1 for the sake of each drink to a charity (charity changes monthly). I usually get the quiche and side salad combo for lunch, and no breakfast is complete without an insanely good cinnamon roll. I love supporting

Heard about this place but was blown away on our first visit! All made from scratch baked goods. One of a kind dishes, pastries, sandwiches, espresso drinks. There is a take and bake selection fridge and freezer full of homemade goodies! I had the Marianna with a blueberry scone, my husband had a maple bacon gourmet breakfast sandwich with a peach cinnamon roll-Both were incredible! Espresso drinks and bottomless coffee were better than local coffee shop chains. They had handmade local gifts in their gift shop. The bakery items are all made on sight and the cupcake selection was mouthwatering!
