Crema's Take

Taste by Spellbound is a dessert-forward café that takes its pastries and baked goods seriously, with reviewers raving about genuinely excellent chocolate chip cookies and creative soft serve sundaes that feel indulgent without being pretentious. Beyond the sweets, they craft thoughtful specialty drinks like iced chai lattes and cold brew in a stunning, welcoming space that's equally suited for a solo book session or celebrating life's bigger moments with friends and family. The combination of quality ingredients, friendly staff, and an atmosphere that encourages lingering makes this West Hartford spot feel less like a quick coffee run and more like a destination worth the drive.

Seriously love this dessert place! We got a gender reveal cake and just HAD to get a second to celebrate the countdown. Obsessed with all of their individual desserts too and appreciate that they have some special bakes — seasonal and non seasonal.

Had a chocolate chip cookie with vanilla soft serve. It was absolutely amazing!!! The cookie was fresh and probably the best cookie I've ever had!! No joke! Great friendly staff too. Will definitely go back. Brought cupcakes home and they were amazing!!

I had been hearing a lot about the new soft serve sundaes at Taste by Spellbound, so we took a drive up to see what they were all about! Definitely a generous size - it can be good for sharing as well. We tried the sundae of the week, which was peaches and cream, and it was SO good with clearly housemade toppings. I couldn’t resist the cupcake split because I had never seen that before, and it was great! The bakery itself was adorable, and we really enjoyed sitting in there. It was an hour before closing so it was pretty quiet and relaxing. I’d like to go back and try more of their bakery items next time! Clearly a high quality place.
