9 Best Cafes near Ellington

“Stopped by with a colleague from work and few friends for a tea stop. So many delicious varieties of tea, nice teacups, delicious scones and yummy sandwiches. Everyone was so impressed, it’s a lovely day to always remember and guess what I will be there for a father and daughter special treat. I highly recommend you pay Luann’s visit, if you have not done so.“

“As the owner of a wellness center, I am deeply committed to mindful, nourishing choices in everything I consume—prioritizing all-natural, organic ingredients whenever possible.
When I discovered Smoothville, it felt like uncovering something truly special—a perfect match for my values and standards.
The exceptional quality, unmistakable freshness, and outstanding flavor of their smoothies and açaí bowls are simply unparalleled. I’ve visited numerous smoothie shops across Connecticut and Massachusetts, yet none have come close to the consistent excellence Smoothville delivers. In my experience, they stand out as the very best.
What’s more, their pricing is genuinely thoughtful and more accessible than comparable options, offering remarkable value for such premium, health-focused products.
I am genuinely grateful for a business like Smoothville that truly champions nourishing food as a foundation for vibrant health and overall well-being. I look forward to continuing to support and enjoy them for years to come.“

I love visiting with the owner when she's there. She is so nice and lovely to talk to. The coffee is exceptional. She has tons of different varieties as well.“

“Your standard Panera, if you've seen one you've seen most, and thats a good thing. Food was good, bread was fresh, soda options were decent. Food came out pretty quickly.

Parking: Standard lot, very easy to park

Kid-friendliness: Panera is definitely kid friendly, with booths and high chairs to make it easy. Kids menu makes it simple to order, although my kids will go through a full sized mac and cheese with no problem.“

“The iced coffee was *perfectly* brewed
A lot of Panera iced coffee is really watered down but on 11/11, this iced coffee tasted so good. *chef's kiss*

However you brew your iced coffee, please tell all the Paneras to do the same.

This is how God intended iced coffee to be“
