Over time, I guess you could say I’ve become low-key addicted to high-quality pastries. Mrs. London’s has always held a special place in my heart as my go-to spot when I need a little pick-me-up, as well as where I spend my money when I want to impress family or friends staying with us (because you better believe I’m not attempting to bake like that.)
Anyway, when I heard about a new bakery opening up in Wilton this past spring, I naturally was a bit reluctant. With promises of buttery croissants, sourdough bread, and savory danishes, I really didn’t know what to expect in terms of quality.
But as you may have seen in my Instagram post, I was floored by what I tasted.
That right there is an aged cheddar and leek danish that I basically haven’t stopped thinking about since I tried it on April 28. Yes – it’s been almost two months and I’m still chasing the emotions I felt while eating this.
DO YOU SEE THOSE LAYERS?!?!?
Flaky. Salty. Buttery. Light. Airy. Umami. STUNNING. I truly cannot string together a full sentence to describe this, but it was like top 5 best things I’ve ever eaten and I’m not exaggerating.
While the savory danishes change every week based on seasonal ingredients (sorry you prob won’t see this specific one for a while), there are some staples that they have every Thursday-Sunday when they’re open.
One of these “classic” items is the morning bun.
The employee described it as a cinnamon bun without the frosting, but it’s so much more. It’s flaky (clearly one of my favorite words in this article), it’s warm and a little spicy from the cinnamon, but it’s still sweet and light! All the winning flavor profiles in a pastry if you ask me.
Since my first visit to Bakery Suzanne, I have also tried the pain au chocolate, the croissant, and the pain au raisins – all fantastic. If you think I’m gonna stop there, you’re wrong. I’m going to keep going back until I can report on all of the pastries and baked goods because, you know, research.
Do NOT, I repeat DO NOT sleep on this absolute gem that’s recently joined the Saratoga (or Wilton) scene.
Some additional details:
Location – 4284 rt 50, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866
Hours – Thursday to Sunday, 8am-2pm (while they open at 8, MOST everything isn’t available in the case until 9am)

I discovered BS right after its opening and agree with every word you wrote. My only worry is will he be able to keep up with demand as word spreads?
Agree with your assessment about Bakery Suzanne. It’s just fantastic. I’ve also been working my way through their pastries, one a week. I also always pick up a baguette.
