Best Coffee Shops in Stonington, CT
Zest Fresh Pastry
Zest Fresh Pastry is an artisan bakery in Stonington’s beautiful Velvet Mill. The bakery is a dream come true for Erin and Gabriella, two professionally trained pastry chefs who have collaborated to bring their experience and education to one place. In the summer of 2012, they began selling their pastries at a few local farmer’s markets and were so well received that they opened their own bakery at the beginning of 2013 in the mill. Inspired by all the other artists, artisans, and small businesses who have called the mill home, Erin and Gabriella experiment a lot and offer an ever-changing menu. You can expect to find an array of baked goods on a daily basis from savory pastry to sweet desserts; American classics to European delights. Zest can also be found at a number of farmer’s markets and at other coffee shops and restaurants throughout the region. It’s hard to pick a couple of things to recommend – you won’t be disappointed with ANYTHING from Zest! So delicious!
