50 Best Cafes near New Canaan

“I like their sandwiches and salads.
But the quality of my regular sandwich has deteriorated, and I have decided to give it a break.
Coffee is highly overpriced, and the cashier has repeatedly overcharged that that needed to be corrected.
If you have a coffee card, even after 10 drinks, they will acknowledge the card but forget to take it off the bill. Very weird way of ringing the end client.“

“I'm a self-admitted acai snob. I first tried it in Brazil 3 years ago. It was amazing. Since then, I'm yet to find an acai bowl in the US I liked. I have never even found one I would try a second time. GG & Joe is that place. I found it this week, and I've already been back. It is the best acai bowl I've had in the US. I've had the GG & Joe and the Berry Sweet. Both were excellent. I have my go to place for a quick affordable lunch in Westport.“

“We have been to Hudson Table twice - once for a chef competition and we liked it so much we booked the whole space for a party. It was such an incredible experience to be up front with the chefs, asking questions, watching them work. It was also great to hear about their thought process and to taste as they cooked their dishes! I felt like we were on a TV show! The food was also incredible! Bites that you will never eat again but were created just for that specific event. The staff was engaging and very fun as well. We'll remember this for a long time and we recommend to anyone we meet!“

“The Thai chicken rice bowl here is an absolute thing of beauty - clean chicken, a bunch of fresh ingredients, everything always presented perfectly and super healthy. And CONSISTENT, so many lunch places struggle with this but FLOC has it nailed every single time. Chicken is very high quality. Very lucky to have them in the area.

Only way this could possibly be improved is adding option for Thai chilies.“

“5/5 Classic Christine
The exterior has so much character. The open courtyard is adorable, makes you want to write an obscure novel while sitting here. The interior is also adorable, it’s clean charming, and big. I get a vanilla latte everywhere I go and this was one of my favorites, not sure what syrup they use but it’s not too sweet which is the best. People were here working, and chatting. They have the newspaper and WiFi. Love this place.
Follow Classic Christine for more recs ;)“

“I always have such a great experience at Green & Tonic, and that’s largely thanks to two of the best people there — Alina and Ivonne.

Alina, the assistant manager, goes above and beyond every single time. She’s organized, friendly, and truly makes the place feel welcoming. She remembers regular customers, takes time to make sure every order is perfect, and handles busy rushes with ease and a smile. Her professionalism and warmth make a huge difference in the overall vibe of the store.

Ivonne is equally amazing — always upbeat, kind, and efficient. She’s quick without ever making you feel rushed, and her positive energy makes every visit better. She has a natural way of making customers feel seen and valued, which is rare and so appreciated.

Together, they create an incredible customer experience that keeps me coming back. Green & Tonic is lucky to have them both — they represent everything great about good service and genuine care.

— A happy and loyal customer 🌿✨“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars, only thing I would change is the hours. Wish they were open more!“

“This experience was mind blowing. It was breathtaking, beautiful and extravagant. Sometimes, I ponder what the meaning of life is, yet as soon as sobol creeps into my conscience I remember the stars, I remember the sun, I remember life itself. I feel like like I’m walking on thin air. I’ve fallen in love with a man named the açaí bowl with double nutella and nut free granola.“

“Yeah it is a cafe where you are captive in the aquarium, but we thought our food was very good considering we had low expectations. The clam chowder was delicious and our daughter enjoyed her Mac and cheese kids meal. Food is pricey because you’re stuck in the aquarium with little other options available but at least we felt it was decent.“
