Meet Beth of Bethy's Bakery
"In 1984, I had just returned from France where I received my Master’s degree and fell in love with the French food and culture. I thought our customers would love it too, so I started baking fresh butter croissants in our Norwalk store. From there Bethy’s Bakery just grew and grew. Today our team of bakers start at 3 a.m. every morning, firing up the ovens to bring our customers the very best in breads, cookies, cakes, pies, and our famous apple cider donuts, made fresh in front of you all day long."
– Bethy Leonard Hollis, daughter of store founder Stew Leonard Sr.

Stew Leonard’s Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches
We sponsored local food star, Nina Joy Poosikian - Founder of "What Nina Ate" to shop at Stew’s and find a fun summer recipe using some of her favorite finds at Stew’s. What she came up with is a perfect summer treat! You can find our New frozen Chocolate Chip Cookie balls in Bethy’s Bakery!
First, bake the pre-made Stew Leonard’s frozen cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes. Once fully cooled, add one scoop of ice cream to half of the cookies and place the other half of the cookies on top to make a cookie sandwich. Place the sandwiches in the freezer for one hour and then remove. Roll the visible ice cream in the middle in the chocolate chips and then place back in the freezer for another 1-2 hours. When fully frozen, they’re ready to serve!
