Downtown Middletown is the place where pastry chef Anna Madden and her husband Dave Madden have been steadily growing their business baby—the aptly named Something Sweet cafe—for 11 years. In Dave’s words “It’s like an American bistro feel with an Italian influence on the menu.”
But what really sets this cafe apart are the desserts. The cozy cafe is a beehive of activity where you can sit down with a good cup of Americano coffee and savor Anna’s creations. The dessert cabinet is brimming with a great variety of seasonally flavored classics like cheesecake, fruit tarts, cream puffs, and melt-in-your-mouth buttery cookies and slices.
"I don't want to do what any of the other Italian bakeries are doing. They do the Italian pastries, and they do them well. I don't want to compete with that."
