46 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Branford

“A friendly staff at Caius Farm Brewery serve a wide variety of excellent craft beer, including IPAs, lagers, pilsners, kolsch, sours and stouts in a beautiful top room with a scenic outdoor patio. They also offer wine and sodas. In the taproom you can enjoy some fresh popcorn or a meal from a local food truck. You should definitely take a trip to Branford.

“Love the new make over. The service and food are great!! However the noise level is so uncomfortable and the was not a full seating. So bad that the hostess had to go outside when answering the calls. Highly recommend sound proofing panels.“

“Was visiting New Haven last weekend (from Brooklyn) and had the pleasure of eating at Olmo not once, not twice, but three times!! For breakfast, every morning of my visit. The bagels so good, the menu so mouthwatering, the people so kind and welcoming— I couldn’t stay away! And I’m still thinking about it a week later…

The first morning I got the Hot Pastrami. It is, and i cannot stress this enough, DELICIOUS! A generous helping of pastrami—rivaling that of Katz Deli—paired with a mind-blowingly yummy spinach-artichoke schmear and some pickled onions sandwiched between a sesame seed bagel. Cannot recommend enough.

The next morning I had to try a new schmear (the schmear selection is thrilling). I went with beet and dill veggie on an onion bagel. Crunchy, refreshing, sweet. Yum.

I am a creature of habit so, despite my desire to try the basil feta schmear, the third morning I went with the Hot Pastrami again. Turns out lightning can strike twice, it was just as delish the second time.

This is a place that clearly loves their clientele and their craft. They were communicative, efficient, and so friendly. You immediately feel welcome. A must visit for any bagel lover who finds themself in New Haven!!“

“I had an amazing opportunity to cater a wedding of two great friends at The Brewery. I don't have enough great things to say about the place. The building and its grounds are amazing, the brewery its self is gorgeous. Attention to detail is above par in all aspects. The Brewery room and tap room one of the best i've seen. The upstairs in sophisticated and approachable. The husband and wife owners are wonderful and they way they attend to their guests and bar none. I highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed and their beer is AWESOME“

“Very enjoyable outside setting at Belle Vie! Just lovely. From the friendly staff whom immediacy greeted us upon arrival to tbe owner who made a special trip outdoors after personally cooking our crepes in the kitchen. We tried their chicken pesto crepe w/ tomato and spinach- absolutely delicious ! And also the salmon, cream cheese, tomato, caper, red onion crepe. Yum! We also sampled their lattes both hot and cold brew and a marvelous bacon cheddar biscuit warmed up and buttered ! They have sweet crepes as well and many non- crepe options. This Cafe will not disappoint! A beautiful menu with many selections of fresh, health conscious choices as well as some slightly more indulgent pasterie options! ( and a few more diet aware pastries as well! ) Belle Vie Cafe has everything you need! … And with a great vibe , too!!! Give it a go. You’ll be back! ) Don't forget to take a stroll along the Guilford Green just a block away offering weekend events and other shops and eateries to check out ! Very picturesque. )“

“Incredibly delicious and unique!“

“This review is a part of my quest of visiting all CT breweries. I visited Twelve Percent several times before and my experience was consistently high all the times. This is a contract brewery, so in fact it serves beers from multiple smaller brewers.

The brewery occupies a big separate building. It has a huge indoor space with no separation and a patio. There are multiple seating options inside the building including couches. No food is served, but the food trucks are usually onsite. They also have many different events in the brewery including rare ones like Homebrewer competition. The space might become a little crowded in the evening and you might encounter a limited seating.

The beers in this brewery are simply amazing. Everything I tried during my visits was exceptional. Plus I love Imperial stouts and not many breweries bother to brew them, but you can always find them here. It's hard to recommend anything specific as it is safe to just grab anything, but I particularly enjoyed Neil's French Toast Donut Stout (Imperial Stout) from Front Porch due to its rich and complex taste of a coffee donut. Beer flights are not served, but you can order a short pour of 6oz to try more beers.

I do recommend this place to anyone who loves good beer.“

“Great atmosphere. Food is worth it—not vegan? Still delish. Try it—you’ll see!“

“This is my most favorite spot to grab breakfast and lunch. The entire staff, especially Jess is awesome. They treat you like family. Would recommend to everyone.“

“Great menu fresh and unique ingredients. Great cocktails and wines that pair nicely with menu. Everything was cooked and presented perfectly. I had the Niman Ranch Pork Copa. And some eggplant caponata crostini as appetizer. We stopped at the rooftop bar for a cocktail and snack. We had Tuna tartare with wasabi peas. Service ambience. Made it a perfect Evening and the Hotel is awesome too.“

“First time here! My boyfriend and I loved it. Great ambiance. Did two flights. Will be back!“

“Love love love this place. I have spent so many hours hanging out here. In the morning it’s so fun to come sit on the couch and read a book — the coffee is delicious! And the coffee menu is really cool and fun. Any latte here is a win. And Hanna is the most incredible and friendliest barista!! It’s also a really fun vibe in the afternoon to come for a beer and hangs. They have vegetarian options for food usually and a great food truck outside. I am all about aesthetic and this place crosses all the t’s and dots all the i’s. My new go-to spot!!“

“First time there. Wanted to try a different place than our usual couple of places. Very interesting menu with a huge variety, we had to bring home 3 different pies to try, and they were great! Can’t wait to go back and try more. 🍕❤️“

“We ordered cupcakes for two different parties in one weekend and Sweet Mary’s did not disappoint. Great, yummy, moist cupcakes and terrific service. Sweet Mary’s is the best for cupcakes hands down!!!“

“Tuvimos la visita de mi hermano en Ohio y decidimos ir de paseo a New Haven para visitar a una gran Cheff peruano, la comida peruana de primera, atención muy buena, platos variados quedamos encantados el sabor exquisito nada que extrañar a 🇵🇪 Perú, muchas gracias Don Raúl Vásquez y esposa , quedamos visitarles de nuevo un fuerte abrazo“

“Midpoint is one of those cute coffee shops one can find all over. This branch in the heart of the historic district is a nice touch. The couple of times I have been here, I found the coffee to be quite satisfactory. My one regret was in both occasions, I was in a hurry, and had to make my visit a quick in and out. I definitely loved the pastries I had. They hit the spot.

“DO NOT feel weird that this place is in a Gas Station. They have the best darn sandwiches around! Their popularity speaks for itself. The steak and cheese bomb with Chipotle is a go-to for me. The food is extremely well priced, and the sandwiches are stacked nice and full. I make it a point to get lunch there whenever possible. If you haven't been, get your self over there to see what you've been missing all this time! Breakfast sandwiches are great too. There are picnic benches outside to sit on. Hope you enjoy as much as I do. ?

“Love the vibe @ No Worries!“

“Exceeded my expectations! I ordered through door dash and was so happy with the quality considering it was delivery. The salsa tasted so fresh and the chips are definitely homemade. They tasted like they'd just come out the fryer after 30 sec in the microwave. For my entree I got the Chicken Burrito which was amazing. It had so much flavor and was huge. Half of it is plenty to fill even the biggest appetite. I will definitely order from here again!“

“delish! me and my wife were worried that our kids wouldn't like Whale Tea, as they had only been to competitors. However, they both lit up with joy as they tasted their first sips of their creative orders! With every gulp their faces lit up even more, and by end they were gleaming with glee. We will be making many more family trips in thw future! Thanks Whale Tea for bringing our family back together in these trying times. ?“

“Loved the atmosphere, the fantastic customer service, the food, and the coffee. Would absolutely go back.“

“I love Fussy Coffee!!!

This place is a little out of the way from the Yale campus which I personally think is great. It's right next to the canal trail. When the university is in session, it can be very busy and hard to find a table at peak times like around lunch. The cafe is bright with very tall windows that let in lots of sunlight. There are several smaller tables, some high top seating, and 2 long communal tables. For those who want to do work with laptops, beware that there aren't that many outlets!

For beverages - I really like the coffee here. Their nitro cold brew is STRONG. They also have non-coffee drinks options. They often have interesting, seasonal special drinks. They also have alcoholic beverages, although I've never tried them myself personally.

For food, they have lots of great options and are vegan/vegetarian friendly. Their fries are probably their best known food item. I ask for them to be extra cripsy because sometimes they come out a bit soggy. Their sauces are great too.“

“Waiters, food and atmosphere get five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Their Cheeseling Wings are good! Ever since, I came across Bbq. Chicken, I really loved their wings. The first time I went there, I had the secret wings and it was delicious! I do recommend them. Though their wings are a bit pricey, but they are really good 👍“

“Great food and even better service (Nancy!!). And a special thanks to Sam. Highly recommend and will return. We aren’t eating dinner after our huge breakfast 🥞!!“

“Went there for my birthday on Saturday…. The atmosphere was very nice. Drinks really good. Music even better . Was having a good time until one of the bartenders told us to move in a rude way. No we have been dancing and coming back to the same spot at the bar so it was empty . Y ask us to move how abt the couple next to us. Or other people that have been standing there the same amount of time or longer. Not sure if I’ll go back which is really bad . 1 person can really ruin the way u see a place.“

“Me and my fur children adore you guys❤️“
