Scialo's County Bakery — Restaurant in Seekonk

THE NOSTALGIA:

The plaza the bakery is located in made me feel as though I traveled back in time to an old town road- beloved by its community, but has certainly weathered the storm.

The atmosphere and decor of the bakery felt as though it was preserved in a time capsule. There is a strong sense of fellowship, and pride in ownership which I admire.

THE SERVICE:

Friendly employee offering a warm smile, greeting, and asked how she may assist me. After informing her I was a new customer and needed time to peruse, she offered space but remained available to answer questions.

The bakery was clean and well organized making it easy to make selections.

The employee was knowledgeable with respect to menu items, which was refreshing and very helpful.

THE CONFECTIONS:

The regular biscotti was the standout bite pairing well with my morning hot tea. The almond biscotti was okay. I didn’t pick up much almond flavor although there were several slices of almonds. The corn muffin was cooked nicely and average in taste.

THE SAVORY:

The spinach and feta stuffed croissant was light and satisfactory. The croissant was cooked perfectly. I particularly liked the fact the filling didn’t alter the texture of the dough. However, the filling was underwhelming- the salt of the feta provided the only flavoring.

The BBQ chicken style pizza strip: The sauce was the only distinguishing flavor but not sufficient to compensate for the bland overcooked chicken.

Although not pictured, the pepperoni style pizza strip was very tasty.

THE VALUE:

Confections and savory items for all budgets; good customer service, and...

Don't order a Wedding Cake or the like!! I reside in Florida and had made arrangements to have Scialo;s make a 90th Birthday cake for my Mothers surprise party BAd idea. The cake was to be 2 tiers EACH tier was to be 3 layers each. The cake arrived at the restaurant: 2 tiers with ONLY 2 LAYERS not the three I paid for?? Adding insult to injury, the complete top of the cake was inedible; it was STALE it was RED VELVET cake no one could eat. My guest where taking one bite and leaving it. The whole top of the cake had to be thrown away. Also ordered was a Tiramisu. I paid extra to have LARGE CHOCOLATE curls to be put on top instead I got ONE SHAVED CANDY BAR. NO CURLS. All this cost e $285. So embarrassing. $75 was refunded. Money is not the issue but not enough...

Local bakery. I go there mainly for convenience. Breads always great their pastries and pizza is not the best. A few weeks ago stopped in and saw a small cheesecake with blueberry filling on top. Sadly it was like it was bought in a market and they just made it pretty. It was waxy, tasteless and the topping was of a jelly type. My most recent experience was disappointing. I know the economy is hurting but to charge $21.00 for a birthday cake. Something that useto be $15-18. The cake had so much frosting and it was dry. The frosting was so sweet. I felt I bought a frosting cake. I will not be buying anymore pastries from here. I've had some past experiences with freshness also. Just...
