11 Best Cafes near Haddam

“1st time customer, craving Fish & Chips. Excellent meal, obviously fresh and very tender fish. Brandy (the pooch) gives 4 paws up with a tongue smack too!! Delish!“

“Came here for the first time today. I've been wanting to try for awhile. Amazing place. Love the menu! So many different things to choose from. Tons of veggie options. I had a veggie melt with broccoli, eggplant, onions, sundried tomatoes and cheese. It was amazing! If you haven't been, great eats for breakfast and lunch!“

“If there's a better sandwich ANYWHERE, I'd like to try it. Not holding my breath ! Well Done, Bud's“

“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“

“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 absolute best staff and a huge fan of the New England blend. I can’t say enough about the staff at Middletown so professional and courteous and always spot on“

“Two Wrasslin’ Cats! What a fun and amazing place! Tucked away in the beautiful countryside in East Haddam, we found a sweet, colorful café that’s all about cats… but actually, it’s about so much more. To sum it up in a word, Two Wrasslin Cats is about love, love for all people, love for equality peace, and freedom, love of good food AND love for cats! I mean… they had me at cats, the rest? Merely an amazing bonus! We started out in the café, a fun, eclectic space decorated with cat memorabilia and a menu of cat-themed homemade, gourmet sandwiches. This is not your junky pre-made stuff! The sandwiches were fresh and delicious. My veggie wrap was full of fresh flavorful roasted veggies and my friend had a great tuna sandwich. Our coffee drinks were expertly crafted and not too sweet. We came for the cats, but we really enjoyed the food! After lunch, we waited a few minutes to get in to visit with the cats, a gorgeous family of six littermate siblings that have grown up together at Two Wrasslin’ Cats. These kitties know their role is to be calm and chill and to welcome pets and indulgence from strangers and they do it very well! What nice, sweet, peaceful felines. It was a pleasure to meet each one. We got a chance to speak with the owner about his beautiful and unique mission and his passion shines through with every word. What a pleasure. Guests are asked to make a donation when they visit the kitties and the money goes to help spay and neuter feral cats in the local area - a great cause. Our visit to Two Wrasslin Cats was great fun. If you’re in the area, definitely stop by for lunch and some quality time with the kitties. While you’re there, drop a little extra in the donation box to help further this fabulous mission.“

“Waffle with cheesecake chunks, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream on top. Wow.“

“Quickly becoming one of my new favorite spots. Very friendly and great drinks and treats. Tested out the online ordering when I was on the road and it was awesome! The barista is very passionate about his craft too!“

“Grill Mon Island, Middletown

Summary- cozy spot offering Jamaican classics. You will enjoy your experience here.

Full review- Just found out about this gem and had to try it. As a connoisseur of Caribbean cuisine it is our mission to try and review every restaurant we can in the area.

Apparently, they’ve been open for a few months but we weren’t aware. Found them on a google maps search at 5.05pm on Saturday. The listing said they closed at 5pm. On a whim called the phone number immediately and pleaded with them to stay open for pick up. The kind lady replied that she was planning to be open for another couple of hours. So I jumped in the car and headed over there quickly.

We ordered variety of dishes :
- Chicken jerk chicken
- Curry goat
- Oxtail

The jerk chicken was running out so we completed the order with a little bit of stew chicken.

All the dishes were very good.
The rice and peas were truly special - Perhaps an extra dose of Love❤️
The Stew chicken was also outstanding.
We will be ordering all these dishes again.

The location is incredibly convenient. it is on College Street literally a block from Main Street.

Middletown is emerging us a culinary destination, and this lovely cozy Jamaican spot really elevates the game.

The food is good. The people are wonderful. the location is fantastic.

Parking: Plenty of parking- street, garage.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly“

“Great food wonder staff and owners and some of best rice pudding I’ve ever had would highly recommend going there!!“
