Yardbird Sandwich was so good. My husband had the pulled pork sandwich and said he loved it.

Out from California with the wife, just driving through New England's gorgeous countryside. We were on our way from Rhode Island, heading through Connecticut and needed a place to eat. Happy little wrong turns, and we found this white sign on the corner saying, "coffee, lunch, this way", so we turned and found Petrolhead Cafe. Great stop! We were greeted immediately with a warm welcome.
I got the pulled pork sandwich, and the wife got the chicken sandwich (Yardbird). Both were excellent. Coffee was also very good. Service was amazing. If your looking for a fun little spot to stop, I highly recommend it.

This place rules and it's so unique. They have high end driving simulators that are free to use. The coffee is great, and the people are super friendly. It's such a great addition to the neighborhood and I would recommend anyone who is into cars and racing to check this place out. Also, it happens to be the only real cafe in this neighborhood now that Tisane is gone, so even if you aren't into cars, it's worth stopping in for a good cup of coffee.

We have had the best experience with Petrolhead Cafe and regulary eat here every week. They make the best coffee drinks and their food is excellent. I highly recommend the brisket egg roles, crispy chicken sandwich, creamy chicken soup, and loaded tots. Great menu, with lots of options for small bites or entrees. The staff is amazing; so welcoming, warm, and wanting to help. We will keep coming back for more! And it the motosports theme is super cool; we were knocked out by the huge TVs and racing simulators. So cool.

Love this new place. Such a cool vibe! Great Service. Cathlyn and Dawn are awesome! They have a nice beer and a couple of wine selections. We didn't get food this time but we will be back for sure to try it. If you are into race simulators they have a insane rig that you'll have to see to believe.

First timer here. The atmosphere was awesome. Sat at the bar and watched motoGP. I ordered the brisket egg rolls and they FAR exceeded my expectations. Crispy crunch, sweet, salty, umami. It hit every taste bud on my tongue. My husband got the brisket grilled cheese and it was out of this world good. Perfectly balanced. Not too much bbq sauce, right amount of cheese and a nice crisp bread. The tater tots were perfectly fried and salted. They were so good we didn't even need ketchup. We will for sure be back.
