Cafes near Meriden

“I've been coming to AJ's for over 20 years. literally every time I have friends from out of town visit me and want to have a drink and some good bar food we go to AJ's. every single one of my out-of-town friends always says this is the best bar food they've ever had in their life. I literally have friends who call me up to come to Meriden just to have food from AJ's. my kids are addicted to the food at AJ's as well . I can honestly say if I ever move out of Connecticut, AJ's is one of the very few restaurants that I would ever truly miss and want to stop by if I come back to Connecticut for a visit. Thanks for hanging in and being so committed to our city. with the type of food and friendliness that AJ's gives they could have been successful any place in Connecticut.“

“The best place ever, they have a great delicious breakfast and lunch, the personal stuff are so nice and very polite people, my husband and I love that place!! ❤️“

“It was cool. I stayed sober so i could drive. There are no pool rules followed. Prison rule pool game. Then gets too full of people that somebody is gonna get in a fight. Then it happens. I guess it was cool nobody got shot. I would go back.“

“Unique atmosphere with fabulous, diverse drinks.“

“The bees is a hidden gem! The atmosphere is the best and the food is always spot on. Highly recommend“

“Excellent coffee: I loved the ‘Fall in love’ latte with the apple cider donut- totally hit the spot! Excellent prices and excellent service at a lovely spot: the assembly room is super cozy ? I drank my coffee and had my donut too fast to take a picture ?“

“1st visit. Ordered take out & grabbed a coffee during the brief wait. Service was efficient & friendly. Establishment was clean & welcoming. I deeply appreciate that they offer tofu. We ordered the “Vito” swapping chicken out for tofu & the “Cypress Garden” sandwiches… both were delicious. The prices were reasonable for the high quality of the ingredients. One was $10 the other $12 & this price even included choice of side: pasta salad, apple or chips. We chose the lemon basil pasta salad & it was just as delicious as the sandwich’s. Thank you…you’ve won this customer over for sure!“

“We went Saturday with a family of 10 for breakfast. The food was delicious but what made it a special time was our server Leanne. Very friendly and attentive to everyone's needs. Thank you, Parkside Cafe.“

“this place is just amazing. I'm not even really a coffee drinker but here everything I've had has been delicious. Top notch stuff every time. If you're not going here you're missing out“
