“Ernest is awesome. He heard us talking about how we missed the Dunkaccino & made us a dupe that tasted perfect! Such a kind gesture & it made our morning. It’s rare to find customer service like that these days & it was much appreciated. We will absolutely be back, as we live in Durham, & look forward to seeing Ernest when we do! Cheers!“

“My daughter was giggling counting the eggs for their Easter display excitedly going on about the golden eggs they had hidden all and when we got in the car there was a golden egg in our bag! Thanks to the crew for noticing and making a little girls day!“

“Wonderful coffee shop. Hands down the best lattes I’ve ever had. They have somehow managed to make them consistently good- they are creamy and flavorful and highly recommend the pistachio! Their food is good too and baklava is fresh, not the syrupy goopy stuff you usually find places. The pistachio milk cake is a must try too. It’s very nicely decorated and has a kids corner with books and games that I love and is rare to find in a nice coffee shop. Staff are always very nice, talkative and you never wait too long for an order. I can’t say enough good things. I go here as often as I can and will continue to iA. I hope they continue to open more locations“

“Wallingford has so many choices when it comes to coffee, my choice is the Green Kettle, thanks and keep brewing the best coffee in town!“

“OMG, a friend brought me here & if u r a Coffee lovers try it! U must b exact when ordering your coffee drink- more than Starbucks but we'll worth it. Also if using cash in drive thru tell the staff person asap. I made that mistake & it took longer to pay, but w/ a new place I get a little cautious but no need here. My friend goes daily ; never 1 issue. Coffee lovers dream spot!“

I highly recommend you give them a try. The gentlemen working are very kind and put their customers needs first.“

“I ordered a lemon-flavored birthday cake with buttercream frosting. The cake was made with the freshest of ingredients, was moist, and was absolutely DELICIOUS!!! Everyone commented on how flavorful the cake was, but the artistic talent of the baker/decorator took centerstage!!! The cake was so beautiful, we didn’t want to cut into it!!! If you decide to order a cake from Sweet Harmony you will not be disappointed!!!“

“Always pleasant staff! Yum!“

“Cozy sandwich shop that offers breakfast and lunch sandwiches. I only like doing a Google review if the spot hits. My friends and I got the western breakfast sandwich, a hash brown and egg on a hard roll, and a tuna salad sandwich. We also got a raspberry chocolate and Vermont maple iced coffees that tasted exactly like their names! The sandwiches were so fresh and the tuna salad slapped it was so good!!!! The lady running the shop was very nice and was fast in making the food. We could see her making it and everything looked fresh and the kitchen was very clean. Highly recommend this little gem as we stopped in on the way down to Clinton outlets.“

“Great breakfasts and super service.“

“AMAZING! The waffle bites were fresh, hot, tasty and so fluffy! Imaan (hopefully I spelt that right) was so kind, attentive, friendly and had great suggestions! This was my first time here and we got a biscoff flavored waffle, a fruity pebble flavored waffle, cookies & cream waffle, two energy drinks, strawberry lemonade and a fruit stick to go! Everything tasted so amazing & you can just tell it was made with care! To think one person is running the show seems impossible but my girl was doing it! Wow! Thank you FeshaFeesh! We WILL be back!! Yum!!“

“Lucy’s Luncheonette is a super cozy spot serving all sorts of sourdough goodies and delicious drinks! The owners are wonderful people, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the food is incredible 😍 Not only that, but they offer a "Roll It Forward" program where you can buy loaves that will help feed the community. Lucy's donates leftover food to local soup kitchens weekly as is, so you can feel extra good about supporting them! Still not convinced? They also offer apothecary staples like Elderberry Syrup, handcrafted by Cherokee herself! From Michael's charisma and culinary expertise to Cherokee's herbalism and baking skills? You'll be nourished mind, body, and soul. Go check them out ❤️“

“Had the best Italian cream pie for Easter! So good!!“

“Fantastic meal, as always last night!!! My wife and I both had Penne Ala Vodka with chicken cutlets and my son had rigatoni with house red sauce. Enough food for two meals for each of us. Thank you guys for being such a great and friendly restaurant. See you soon!“

“The bestest ice cream by far. Friendly helpful staff, clean, fun, and will be open year round! The happiest place on earth is now on Main Street in Cromwell!!❤“

“I have been complaining about Dunkin Donuts at the corner of Rt66/17 for years to them and nothing comes of it. If you drive thru their drive thru after ordering food, when you get to the register, there is a small box outside the window that is supposed to tell you the price of your food, Since it has been broken for the past 5 years (and they are not fixing git) It read "NOTHING", so that is what you should pay for the food for. So in conclusion FREE DUNKIN DONUTS PRODUCT IF YOU BUY IT THRU THE DRIVE THRU. 😎🤡😎🤡😎“

“The CT Army National Guard Pilots/Aircrew have been meeting at Perk On Main since they were established on the 2nd Sunday of each month. The guys are Crepe & Omelet fans and VERY happy with the food quality & variety. Katie Hughes Nelson is always there manning the grill and marshaling her happy team. We ❤️ this place!“

“Wonderful location! 😍 Great view and family oriented atmosphere. Awesome place! #familytime #vacation #love Los Amigos production LLC“

“Very polite, great customer service, very clean“

“Even though I was the only customer there at the time, the servers were efficient and did their job well. The only thing I was curious about, was no greeting.

I had to phone home to get some info for the order and within 4 minutes of placing it, the items was served. The food was decent and the quality was as expected considering the price.

Clean place with more than ample parking - I hope they do get good business. It's a few minutes off Rt 9, so it's worth the stop when you need to refresh. It definitely beats many city DD's I've visited due to the surroundings and space.“

“Trying to figure out why my latte orders kept coming out three-quarter cups turns out it’s the way it’s made the guy at the front working. The cashier was great with his detailed explanation of how it’s made. It makes sense that that is why it has occurred a few times just by accident great location good staff.“

“Love the coffee ❤️ and breakfast sandwiches“

“Pumpkin Spice is life...😍“

“A huge thank you to the staff on June 18th (night) and early morning staff for returning my lost wallet and accommodating for pick up while we were travelling. I can not express my gratitude for your kindness.“
