“The staff is incredibly friendly, upbeat, and helpful. Above all, the bagels and shmears are nonpareil!!! The best anywhere. I’m sad that I don’t live in New Haven anymore.Vegetarian options: I think the majority of spreads are vegetarian“
“Obsessed with this adorable spot in downtown Shelton! I talked to the owner who was so nice, and they’re super dog friendly so seeing all of the pups really brightened my day. It’s one of those spots where almost everyone is a regular and they all know each other, so it felt very community oriented! My fiancé and I grabbed a sunny table near the window and had such a delicious breakfast of avocado toast and the George’s sandwich with our coffees. I really liked the iced pumpkin one I had! I will definitely be keeping this spot in mind for future trips to downtown Shelton!“
“What a great meal! Came here because we were on the way to get donuts at Brooklyn Baking Co and missed their breakfast timing - so glad we did! Had the Irish Benny - AMAZING corned beef hash, perfect eggs and sauce!!! Fluffy pancakes too and my boyfriend enjoyed the waffles - "real syrup and fresh, fresh fruit!" Owner is super friendly as is the staff and we had just a great experience ... what a find! Definitely putting this on our come back again soon list!!!“
“Great decor, friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere. I got the churro latte and my husband got the banana nut bread latte. Both of our coffees were good and they had a lot of different options for flavors.They had ample seating and outlets available for working.Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area.“
“Stopped for breakfast. Real good service. Food came out quick and perfectly cooked. Steak hash, potatoes were soft yet firm,perfect. Steak was tender and flavorful ,eggs over easy cooked perfectly. Even the rye toast was toasted and crispy but no where near over toasted Amazing local breakfast, great prices ! Absolutely Recommend !!“
“LOVE this place and the ladies who take care of us here. Kerry and Yelena are so sweet and they make everything fresh. My girlfriend and I come here every week because we love it so much. Specialty hot chocolates, real fruit smoothies, and a cute little atmosphere.“
“Cute little joint for a quick brew. There is technically seating but it's tiny- think garden shed- so I'd recommend you grab and go. Nice waitstaff, especially the older gentleman. Would try the middle eastern pastries, as they seem to be locally made fresh, while the baked goods are more standard.“
“I've been here a few times to grab croissants but it was our first time dining it and it was delicious! Very cozy and you can tell they have a lot of regular customers. The eggs benedict was amazing and their homemade biscuit was great. My husband got the chicken and waffles special and he loved it. We will definitely be coming back!“
“My wife and I took a private pottery throwing lesson with Emily. She inspired us to take a six week lesson followed by another six week lesson. We then became members. We love it there. What a wonderful pottery community! Thank you Jess!Side note: the paint-your-own is super popular there, as well as glass fusing, candles, and mosaics. It’s a great place to get together and drink some wine and be creative or bring the kids for a party!“
“Just popped over to the cafe to grab a bite after reading reviews and was NOT disappointed! Tom was at the register and simply a pleasure to talk to. He recommended one of their egg sandwiches which was delicious (this means a lot coming from someone who isn’t a huge egg fan!); toasted with garlic salt, real white cheddar, a fried egg, and bacon- yum! Also grabbed a dirty chai and some fruit/walnut biscotti. Truth be told I’m having a hard time picking a favorite; the atmosphere and friendliness combined with the dynamite food will definitely make Cedarhurst my go to spot for traveling here in the future!“
“We drove 80 miles to see a concert, and were so happy to sneak into Crepes Choupette moments before closing time. The gentleman working solo welcomed us in and basically gave us personal chef service. As he masterfully crafted our meals, he sang along (perhaps subliminally) to the beautiful French music that seemed to inspire his culinary creations! He was charming, and emulated a love for his job that flowed out as love for his customers. We doubled his tip without batting an eye, and were actually surprised to find out he wasn’t the owner! We loved the Choupette, the Norvegienne, the Piaf, and whatever the other one we had was… all amazing!“
“One of my go to coffee shops - they have a wide menu offering sandwiches, wraps, pancakes and varying specials every week.Their breakfast quesadilla is my go to, which comes loaded with eggs, cheese, home fries, sausage and bacon, peppers and onions. Their pancakes are also light and fluffy. Breakfast sandwiches are delicious. Their portions are very generous and the service is great.If you don’t feel like dining in they also have a drive through.“
“This was my very first time in this one particular and I was very much impressed with its cleanliness, elegance, and a majority of the presentation of their baked goods. 4 out of 5!!!! I’m terribly sorry that you lost a star but that matcha brownie tasted absolutely disgusting. Never again will I buy it!!! Sorry sweetheart but it’s lacking sugar. However I do love the sweet cream filled bread you sold me. Thank you very much for helping me figure out what I want for breakfast tomorrow. Lastly, the cream green tea cake was absolutely divine. All this from being served by an incredibly gorgeous and really cashier/manager who I had to tip handsomely. I’ll definitely stop by on payday to give their specialty caffeinated drinks a try.“
“Local neighborhood fav for me. Always have room. Good menu selections and a chill vibe. Menu supports local based ingredients and is organic based. I had the machego and Fig panini and strawberry and banana smoothie. Don't forget the pastries/desserts on your way out.Vegetarian options: Hummus, Machego & Fig PaniniDietary restrictions: Veggie stuffed guten free corn patty arepas.They use apple juice instead of milk in their smoothies.Parking: There is a small lot and street parking on West Rock near the park. Can also park in Westville Center paid lot and walk down. On a bus route.“
“What refreshing little neighborhood cafe! It's nothing fancy and exactly what you want a free morning close to home. I didn't delve into the menu but trusted a friend who goes often and I wasn't disappointed! We shared the breakfast charcuterie board featuring Pancakes, waffles, bacon, sausage, Italian smoked sausage, cheese, tater tots and fried eggs. Add a couple of Americanos and we were set for a couple hours of great food and conversation. Have it there or get something to go and you'll get your day started right.“
“Quality of coffee: 4 - good espresso drinks. I've tried them a couple dozen times and they have become more consistent this past year or so. There are flavoring options like hazelnut etc. Coffee (black) is slightly above average. Atmosphere: 4.5 - great seating areas and nooks in a historic hotel. Usually, students are studying at the various tables. Location: 5 - heart of downtown within walking distance to hundreds of restaurants and great bus/train service. Service: 5 - helpful staffValue: 4 - decent pricing Average: 4.5I can't recommend food options, as I've only had coffee here.“
“I work nearby and I’m not sure why it took me so long to check this place out. First off, their coffee/lattes are fantastic, some of, if not the best I’ve had in the city. They have many flavors and their specialty lattes are all very good. The food is also fantastic. Fresh and reasonably priced. I’m not sure if they bake their bread in house but it’s very soft and delicious, it tastes freshly baked. I haven’t had any of their bakery items yet but I imagine they’re also great. I highly recommend this place for coffee/breakfast. It’s roomy with enough seats to relax and get some work done if you need a place to sit too. The staff is very friendly as well. A nice little downtown gem.“
“Pistachio is a hidden gem! Everything from the eclectic decor, the heartwarming lattes, and the attentive service it quite simply is the best! Thank you to our server Bella who made our experience top notch! Look forward to future visits and more desserts!“
“Nice coffee + food, fun atmosphere and nice staff. I really, really enjoy their pour-overs. Recently, I was feeling a little festive and found their pumpkin spice latte surprisingly delicious as well - very cohesive and flavorful, and not overly sweet.“
“This café is a complete gem in Woodbury! I had a French toast, bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese, and it was phenomenal. My favorite part was the rose hibiscus latte ? 10 out of 10 will be back with my daughter and probably remote work as well?“
“This space is so beautiful, warm, and inviting. I spoke with the owner during my first visit and it was lovely to hear her vision for community building. Perfect space for remote workers to grab coffee, a snack, and post up. I can't wait to go back and work.“
“Love this place. ❤️ Everyone there is like family and always so kind and nice. The Barista there MacKenzie makes the best drinks. My favorite drink is Chai tea latte with a cheese pastry. Love telling my coworkers about Kaiyden's coffee.“
“These two gentlemen are truly a blessing to the valley , consoling and taking care of every one for years . I don't know what I would do with out them , greatest coffee I've ever had and class acts , take time and treat your self to the greatest coffee on the planet made with love for the same locals ever day . Thank you Mo and AB you guys brighten my day time and time againGet you some coffee people!!“
“During lunch break from having to serve jury duty I found this coffee shop down the street and decided to pop in. The two behind the counter were very friendly and inviting, and the special grilled cheese with tomato or bacon with soup was PERFECT . the chicken corn chowder came out piping hot and didn't even need any salt or pepper. I'm usually skeptical when someone has to make my coffee instead of me doing it, but unlike dunkin donuts the gentleman made it just right! they seem to have a familiar and friendly customer fan base, and I would definitely go back again.“
“Perfect! We came here for breakfast. Everyone was satisfied with their order. The four of us ate in. It was small, but confy. The staff was very friendly. The coffee was so good! I also thoroughly enjoyed the hash brown bites and breakfast sandwich. Will definitely revisit!“
“Amazing experience. Staff was phenomenal. Food was delicious and high quality. Coffees were great. Atmosphere was gorgeous! A MUST TRY! A bit pricey, but what isn't these days?Parking: Went early morning, so street parking wasn't horrible. Can't say what it would've been like around the lunch time hour when the city is alive.“
“Matcha tea latte, jasmine green tea, and Nutella latte were perfect! Yummy pastries here as well. A larger space for a city but very crowded with people on laptops doing work and large furniture pieces. I felt my stroller was in everyone's way but also couldn't leave it outside since the sidewalk was smaller than normal due to snow. There is also a step up to enter the cafe. The baby changing table is downstairs in a dark hallway (not inside a restroom). The one working restroom was dim as well but smelt like cleaning products and looked clean which was nice.Kid-friendliness: A little small for strollers but you can always squeeze one in and park it near you. Changing table downstairs is in the dark hallway. Nice chairs and couches for a toddler to sit on but more stress that they'll spill something on it.“
“It was my first time going to the Coffee Shoppe, I had the veggie omelette which came with a choice of cheese and toast, home fries, and unlimited coffee. The omelette was great, and the home fries weren't bad, they were just slightly over cooked. The other person I was with had the bacon cheeseburger and they said it was perfect, cooked just right and good size. We dined-in, the staff were very friendly and took care of us with no issues. Although, the establishment is on the smaller side, so fitting a larger group might be a problem. But, overall if you're looking for a well made, relatively cheap, quick bite to eat for breakfast or lunch then the Coffee Shoppe is definitely worth trying.“
“This was my favorite study spot in college, now I come here to read before my appointments in Waterbury. I love their specialty drinks, I usually pick a drink from their seasonal favorites when I'm here. They also have a really good chicken sandwich that I'll get if I'm here around lunch time. Staff is always so nice and quick. I feel comfortable hanging out here. The only issue was I noticed a lot of their seating has the pleather torn apart so badly you can't sit on it comfortably. The benefit of this place was their comfy chairs, so hopefully they get those replaced soon!“
“I had to take care of some things at the post office down town. I stumbled along this place by accident. Mind you I moved here from NYC 6 years ago. I'm very spoiled growing up and eating NYC pizza most of my life. Since my years here, I have tried many pizza shops claiming to have NYC pizza. It's just a big joke! I even challenge them. Anyway, this place is legit NYC pizza in not just Waterbury but the whole New Haven county. Huge delicious pizza that don't break and crumble when you fold them. They are hand tossed and not put in to like cake backing pans. Where it comes out all soggy! The mozzarella is white and gooey and not burnt orange. They are from NYC the owners and can tell they brought up their recipes with them! It's family owned and ran. The Family is so delightful. My absolute go to! Hands down best pizza in these part of the state.“
“Delicious food! Would definitely rate as being authentic. I tried the green enchiladas and cheese flautas. Both were amazing! They use really good cheese!Will definitely visit again in the future and recommend to others!Vegetarian options: Cheese flautas“
“Crave Healthy is truly the way to go! If you need a beverage to help support a long busy schedule this s your place! The customer service is amazing, the presentation is amazing and best part about it is the owners and workers have a great heart and passion for what they do!! MAKE SURE YOU STOP BY! You truly won’t be disappointed“
“I needed some coffee and desert after visiting the Yale University Art gallery, this was a perfect location and only short walk away. Not a large space, but a fun atmosphere nonetheless. Many students hanging out who seem to be studying indefinitely which made finding an available seat somewhat difficult for new, paying customers. A rather chaotic ordering process, it's unclear where to order/pickup, etc. So, I just jumped in and ordered a couple glazed old fashioned donuts and a cup of coffee. The service was nice and prompt however and I have no complaints there at all. I was in luck to be able to grab a stool by the door along the wall. I'm a life long serial donut dunker.....the coffee was hot and tasty and was perfect for dunking in. If you're in the area and want something sweet check out Donut Crazy. They definitely make a good donut!“
“Dread is a gentleman and truly cares about helping people. The vegan dish he provided was undescribably delicious, I've never tasted anything like that. Juices are amazing. If you have something going on with you, they have a solution. We are blessed to have them in the Valley. Thank you kindly for “
“Difficult to just order what you want. In order to get a sandwich you had to order an $18 option that included soup which was a heavy cheese soup. It would be nice if the menu allowed you to get what you want instead of having to order something you don’t like. The food is very fresh though. Everything homemade!“
“Great place to come and get something quick or just come in and relax from a long days of work . Open till 10 pm. Great food and service here always helpful . Plenty of seating area . Drive thru petty fast even in the morning rush . Be coming by always thanks again for staffing and the great service ?? ? ??“
“Great place to grab a quick bite in the morning & good coffee. When you walk through the door it’s like stepping back into time (in a good way). Fresh donuts, great flavors, good sandwiches, and happy staff. Prices are good. Stop in if you can you won’t regret it.“
“This place is amazing. The coffee is top notch, the pastries are incredible and the atmosphere is perfect. The triple shot Espresso is the best tasting one I've ever had....so fresh. The prices aren't bad at all...cheaper and BETTER than Starbucks. Customer service is top notch. And the DRIVE-THRU is a HUGE bonus. Most of all...it's a mom and pop establishment and that's all the more reason to give them your business.“
“Cute little place, it has acai bowls, smoothies but also toast and different snacks. They told me everything was gluten free. I wanted to know if their oats were certified gf, so they called someone and told me they were. Staff wasn’t really well trained on gluten or their ingredients, but they were willing to inform elsewhere and maybe they just started when I got there. I felt assured enough to order (have celiac/gluten allergy)I got a almond butter acai bowl that was delicious. Downside was that the acai bowl wasn’t properly mixed, got some big frozen chunks of strawberry still in there. But overall good experience.“
“my first time here today and will definitely be returning! i came around 6, the girl at the counter was greeting every customer that walked in! she couldn’t be older than my daughter but her work ethic was insane. all the drinks were made quickly and tasted good. the vibe of the place is awesome and the drinks were amazing. i will definitely be returning.“
“I am not sure I've ever had any food here, but you know what I have had?Coffee that makes me feel like I'm going to pierce the veil between universes. There's coffee and then there's Willoughby's coffee, which will make you shake and talk to the Face of God.Ambiance is fine, it's a small spot so its almost impossible to find a seat because this is basically on Yale's campus, which means you're competing with people who are about to have a nervous breakdown and haven't slept in two weeks, so probably not worth losing an arm.But the coffee. Hooo boy the coffee. If you want to wake up, and never, ever sleep again, this is it.“
“DunkinThis is my favorite Dunkin' to stop it. I go nearly every day! The employees are very nice , fast and efficient. They know my order by heart, lol. This location was recently renovated so both interior and exterior are very nice. I highly recommend stopping by for your coffee fix.“
“It's brand new, so it's the best staff, best service, and having watched the construction. I can say that it was well done.Dietary restrictions: I always get oat milk and no mix-ins, some places I literally taste that my drink is either not what I ordered or it is cross contaminated. I never have a problem at Starbucks. ?“
“Parking: The place is very popular and also shares parking with a laundromat, enterprise rental car, and a smoke shop but there's usually a space. We have always managed to find a parking space when we have gone for breakfastWheelchair accessibility: There is a handicap ramp and handicap parking available“
“Ami's has some if the most delicious bagels in Connecticut! Every flavor, especially the Everything and egg bagels, are spot on. Their breakfast sandwiches are fabulous as they use the freshest of ingredients and pile on the bacon! The most incredible sandwich, however, is the cream cheese and lox on a bagel. I grew up in NYC and have never seen so much lox piled on! We stop by every time we pass it always buying a few more than we need to share or freeze. Ami's is our "go to" place for bagels!“
“We go to this Dunkin' just for Nick cause he always does the job RIGHT!!! Wanted two everything bagels but was told they were out. Disappointedly ordered other bagels. Opened the bag -- AN EVERYTHING BAGEL!! God is good but Nick is better.“
“Such a lovely atmosphere with the sweetest owners. Very homey and welcoming. Food was great and the service too! They were so attentive and accommodating with my toddler. First time I went out to eat with her and didn’t feel guilty for bringing her. Even got a lollipop to keep her busy at the table?Kid-friendliness: So sweet and helpful with my toddler!“

“I came in today placed my order with the store manager I got my food and left I was disappointed with some of the food quality and temperature I phoned the manager she was a very kind, calm, and well collected person. She addressed my concerns with action, making it convenient and helpful for me to get a good experience next time issuing a free meal equal to the value on my last order. That's proper store management, this is someone I'd like to think as an asset to this buisness good work Gladys ?. She had an impact on my consumerism for the future thanks for drawing me in and treating me like family- she yearned for that experience of complete customer satisfaction experience.“
