“Delicious coffee, beautiful clean space, quick friendly service. I stopped in on a Friday morning just before 8am. There was only one employee yet he managed to take and make orders very quickly. I’m especially impressed considering they haven’t been open super long. Seems like they had no kinks to work out! I’ll definitely be back.“

“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!“

“the best coffee in the world!“

“Visiting Poppop’s felt incredibly special. Growing up in Northford, coffee was always Dunkin’ or at home, so discovering a locally owned spot like this already felt really nice. I had the pleasure of meeting my baby niece here for the first time making my experience even more unforgettable. We chose Poppop’s as our meeting place, and Shannon behind the counter, was so genuinely kind and warm throughout our visit. If I still lived in Northford, this would absolutely be my go-to coffee place.“

“It was our First time going there today with My husband and Everything we got was Delicious! I highly recommend going there! It was Wonderful, and I can't wait to go back there again!“

“My sister and I heard great things and decided to start our day out with a sweet treat. We didn't get there until a few minutes before close so we grabbed a couple items and ate them in the car so we didn't disturb the close routine. All the staff was very cheerful, friendly, and helpful. We ordered the Ube Custard Danish, Black Sesame Cake, and I believe a salted caramel chip cookie. All of the items were absolutely delicious. Definitely returning and using From Chan Bakery for any breakfast catering needs!“

“They make the best Coffee“

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

“I have made a few purchases and the doughnuts are so amazing! We had a very large purchase for our School today, we were greeted with kindness, respect and a great deal of professionalism. 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!!!“

“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.“

“Always pleasant staff! Yum!“

“Great breakfasts and super service.“

“Absolutely stellar! We had the cinnamon bun feshafeesh and chocolate covered strawberries. Everything tasted fresh and high quality, friendly staff and great service. It was packed and steady with customers the whole time we were there, so glad to see that they are thriving!! Being open until 9-10pm is a huge plus, too!“

“My son and I had the Tom's Sandwich and it was delicious! I would highly recommend and we are definitely going back!!!“

“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!!❤“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Very polite, great customer service, very clean“

“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“

“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.“

“We had the best experience this morning. My kids wanted a spider donut but they were outs Jordan came up to the counter as we were paying and had made 2 spider donuts for my kids. They were THRILLED!! She did such a wonderful thing and made 2 little kids SUPER HAPPY!!!“
