“Many years ago we had a very good bagel shop in Monroe. It’s great to once again have a local place that makes hot, fresh bagels. The variety is extensive from plain to jalapeno cheddar (yum) with an extensive assortment of cream cheeses. Looking forward to going back to try the lunch sandwiches. Don’t miss out on this local gem.“

“There’s nothing better than walking into a cafe and smelling fresh cookies cooking and fresh muffins anytime of the day.Otherwise this is a great cafe.“

“The staff is so friendly and helpful. Comfy ambiance and the food and drinks are delish!“

“This was such an adorable place. It felt like a local spot found in the Hallmark movies. Recently had brunch with my daughter at The Sandy Hook Café. It was an absolute delight from start to finish. Nestled in the heart of Sandy Hook, CT this cafe exudes a cozy yet vibrant charm, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing brunch. We chose the booth by the front window box that was sweetly decorated for the holiday. There were couple other booths, a high-top table, and several two/four-top tables. Tiny space but a gigantic, interesting menu. Good for takeout as well. There is a small outdoor seating area overlooking the river. We were greeted by Ralph, the owner/chef. He was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. He proudly described all of the interesting specials (his own creations) and it was difficult to decide as they all sounded simply wonderful. We went with the blackened eggs benedict with salmon special, and the breakfast burrito. All fresh ingredients, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. It’s an inviting space where you can linger over your meal without a care in the world. Sandy Hook Café is a hidden gem that’s worth every penny. I will definitely be becoming a regular.“

“We’ve been going here for about 4 years and are never disappointed. My husband and I love their Spanish options (best huevos rancheros I’ve been able to find outside of New York), but they also have eggs, pancakes, and other “classic” items. And this is just their breakfast menu! Their lunch items are just as delicious. The staff is incredibly friendly, service is fast even on a busy day, we LOVE all of the sauces on every table, it’s always clean, and they add new dishes pretty often to keep their menu fresh. Can’t say enough good things about them!“

“Yesterday was my first time. The coffee was delicious and the muffins are BIG and fresh. I'll be back soon!“

“Form day one of visiting Charged Ansonia I fell in love with everything about the place. The staff is awesome offering a warm welcoming atmosphere. The shake's, and tea's are super yum, with tons of variety; there is definitely something for everyone. A great day for a needed pick me up!!!“

“The Village Cafe is one of my favorite places for breakfast and lunch. A true hidden treasure in the heart of Ansonia. The quality of the food made here is second to none, and the value for what you pay can't be beat. I always order the house salad with grilled chicken & my co workers love the chicken breakfast burrito, but we have tried pretty much everything on the menu and it is all equally as good. The Village Cafe team is top notch and I am so thankful to have such a wonderful place nearby.“

“I ordered tea online on a whim, and wow, am I impressed! I live in central Massachusetts but I will most definitely take a drive down to Connecticut to see the cafe in person. The teas are divine, and the chocolate is out of this world. I could tell that it was packaged with love and care, could literally feel the good vibes oozing out of the box into the air. I already signed up for the tea journey subscription box and will likely be a lifelong customer. If you are looking for high quality tea, you’re in the right place!“

“Bottom line.. favorite place to go..“

“I recently went to the Crown Cafe for breakfast sandwiches. I called in the order on the phone and everything was ready when I got there. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the buns were fresh. The prices were very reasonable as well. Hope to go back soon.“

“You owe yourself a December treat! Mine will be this week on Tuesday night. I’m ordering two petite dinners of the short ribs. They are to die for…uncork the wine and I’ll forget the stress of December!“

“Great local Coffee and Ice Cream. Plaskos is a small family run operation that is very good to have in our town! Support the little guys!“

“I visited this spot for lunch.\n\nIt has a large dining area with lots of tables and chair.\n\nTheir menu offers hot and cold options including soups.\n\nPrices are about par with the other cafes in neighboring office buildings.\n\nI had a wrap sandwich with a small soup and drink for $9. Both the wrap and soup were good.\n\nFriendly service.“

“This place was a hidden gem we recently discovered. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We got coffee and food and both were very delicious. We were also amazed at the beautiful pastries behind the glass displays. They were stunning and there was a large variety of options. The inside is small but had about 5 tables and it was very cutely decorated and furnished. They also have an adorable little outdoor patio area that we ended up moving out to and a man can put multiple times checking on us and the other guests. We would definitely go back for eat in or take out.“

“Our company has been using Cafe 4 catering for years, each month for lunch. Everything we have ever ordered is always fresh & delicious. Our all time favorite is the Malin salad with grilled chicken. The balsamic vinaigrette is to die for. Also they have the best chicken salad wraps & turkey club wrap with chipotle mayo. All their sandwiches are great! Do yourself a favor & stop in for lunch, you will not be disappointed!“

“Love the relaxing atmosphere! We were able to enjoy a couple of Trivia Nights which were incredibly fun. The neighbors complaints put a stop to those 🤬🙄 The coffee is amazing! I cannot recommend their food because of the teeny tiny portions. I had a pricy salad that equaled to about two cups of greens & at most a 1/3 of a portobello mushroom cap. I went home & ate since I was starving! Note: I had the salad sans goat cheese. An increased amount of the other two ingredients would have been appreciated!“

“The jalapeno cheddar bacon soft pretzel rocked my socks off. I'm definitely coming back!“

“Delicious food! We have already been here several times since they have opened to try different things. Today I got the Cubano and my husband got The Godmother. So good!“
