“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!“

“Just stopped in here today for the first time and the food is delicious!“

“As someone who is a total specialty latte fiend, I’m always chasing the next great coffee. I usually drive all the way to Wallingford because I love places that make house-made syrups, fun cold foams, and creative toppings. It’s just my thing. Coffee makes me happy and I happily stay caffeinated. That said, I cannot believe it took me this long to try Pop Pops Coffee Shop here in town. I ordered the Nutty Irishman latte and I’m not exaggerating when I say it might have been the best latte I’ve ever had. The syrup was perfectly sweet but tasted so fresh and natural. Nothing artificial at all. You can really tell when something is made with care. The rotating specialty latte menu sounds amazing too. I’m honestly sad the Nutty Irishman won’t be on the menu forever because it was that good. But judging by the other drinks they’re planning, I feel like I’m going to discover a new favorite every week. I also had the chance to meet the owner and he was incredibly kind. It’s just really nice to see a young local business creating such a welcoming space for people to hang out, relax, work on their laptops, or just enjoy great coffee. The girl working there was also the sweetest. We actually ran into her twice and she was just as friendly both times. Northford is lucky to have this place. Everyone in town should be showing up and supporting them. Great people, great atmosphere, and incredible coffee. I already know I’m going to become a regular and they’re definitely going to start recognizing me soon. Highly recommend stopping in. You won’t regret it“

“Excellent customer service. Lattes had a good flavor and we're not acidic. There are numerous options on the menu from smoothies to match and tea. The menu does not have food. The line is a little confusing and we were not close enough to scan the QR code which is a little strange to me so when we got to the customer service person we didn't know what we wanted. She was super helpful and very nice. Our order was perfect and we really enjoyed the lattes.“

“Cora was exquisite and so hardworking managing the front and serving our drinks with a smile while the place was busy. They are lucky to have such a hardworking young woman represent the company! Good drinks too!“

“A cozy yet contemporary restaurant with delicious food and a relaxed friendly atmosphere. I really look forward to coming back here again and again.“

“Great breakfasts and super service.“

“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 ❤️“

“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!!!“

“The young lady in drive thru was so helpful & kind“

“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.“

“First time here and absolutely AMAZING customer service! 🤩 The desserts and drinks were absolutely delicious! Everything was so good, and the experience was even better. I highly recommend everyone give this place a try—you won’t regret it! ❤“

“Pumpkin Spice is life...😍“

“Very polite, great customer service, very clean“

“Definitely one of the best dunkins I've been to. I'm at one of the nicest girls named Emily. She was so sweet and Was very attendant with the customer service 10 out of 10 recommend Everyone there was so nice Plus, one of the only dunkins that are open in this area right now“

“Last 4 or more times going it has been completely awful! I go before work and order a PUMPKIN coffee, well one expects pumpkin in it NOT having it still taste regular yet for my large it said 1 pump pumpkin which it’s supposed to automatically be 4. I also had Skim milk and they put cream. This morning my Husband ordered and I got it back cold, no flavor, and leaking. Disgusting! You waiting forever in the drive though lately and even with the sticker on the coffee it comes out wrong and nasty. They need to pay attention to what the stickers say and make more coffee not serve cold or burnt coffee to people! Worst one in town and the other one hasn’t always been the best either but a bit better than that one.“

“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.“

“Not many vegan options... The only protein option they have for sandwiches is hummus, and most of the time they don't have any in stock! Pretty disappointing to drive all the way there to realize they don't have anything you want to eat. All the other food is good, if a little pricey. Yummy smoothies and soup“
