50 Best Cafes near New Canaan

“We were recommended to Dolce restaurant by a relative who used to live in the area and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere is rustic and classic. From the time we walked in the door, the service was extraordinary. We were seated right away and we received the perfect amount of attention throughout the entire meal. One diner had the tuna tar tar as an appetizer and he said it was the best he's ever had. For dinner we had the chicken Francaise and the Dolce salad. They both had generous portions and were absolutely delicious. The mashed potatoes and spinach sides were just as good as the entree. We would highly recommend this restaurant. Our waitress Jillian was amazing and had a lovely personality. Delicious food, great ambiance all for a fair price.“

“I come to the Westport location pretty often and the customer service is always amazing. I’ve came in with 2 toddlers and a baby and they’re so sweet to accommodate us. The food is so good and there’s one barista that i absolutely love because he always makes my coffee PERFECTLY. I only took one star off for Atmosphere just because of the space for seating. It’s not a lot but honestly not a deal breaker because they’ll always make it work for you if you have more than 2 people with you. My favorite spot in Westport! ♥“

But today, we were served by a girl who was on the her phone gossiping with someone the entire time, she even had the phone on speaker. And I would not have cared about it if we would have at least gotten water. She didn’t even asked if we wanted anything, didn’t brought us water at any point, and was being very loud on the phone.“

Throughout all these years, we’ve enjoyed meals and snacks here, and we’ve never once gotten tired of the food. Everything always tastes fresh and delicious, and the experience is consistently wonderful. This café has truly become part of our family’s memories and milestones. We’re so grateful to have such a place in our community!“

“We ordered Japan style Soufflés and matcha and strawberry soft serve today.

The Japan style Soufflé was served warm and airy! It felt like a cloud in my mouth as I took the first bite. The fresh strawberries and banana slices were very refreshing sides and were a nice pair to the Soufflé. The staff was very friendly and delicate when adding the strawberry jam on top to finish. The matcha ice cream scoop, fresh fruits, and puffy Soufflé go really well together!

The matcha and strawberry soft serve was very refreshing, and red bean is a good pairing! First time I’ve had soft serve paired with red bean!

We want to come back again to try the Hongkong style egg waffle and matcha coconut cloud!“

“A huge thank you to EB222 Cafe & Catering for your kindness today! ❤️🙏🏽
Today was an emotional day as my younger son underwent surgery. While we were at the hospital, someone else dropped my older son off at camp. In the middle of everything, I realized I had forgotten to pack his lunchbox. As a mom, I immediately worried that he wouldn't have anything to eat.
Thankfully, I was able to place a lunch order for him at the very last minute through EB222 Cafe & Catering. Knowing he had a good lunch while I stayed by my younger son's side brought me so much peace during an already stressful day.
Thank you for your kindness and for helping make a difficult day a little easier. Sometimes the smallest acts of care make the biggest difference. We are truly grateful! ❤️🙏🏽“

“All around just a great place to get food. I’m always looking for a healthy option and green & tonic is exactly that. They have so many delicious options on their menu (fresh and premade) And they also have a lot of options if you have dietary restrictions. Aside from the food always being great, service is very quick with little wait, and the costumer service is amazing. All of the staff are very polite and friendly especially Renne and Olivia.“

“Cafe Luna has quickly become one of my favorite spots, and it’s all thanks to the outstanding quality of their coffee. Every cup feels like it’s crafted with care—from the rich aroma that fills the air to the perfectly balanced flavors. Whether it’s their smooth espresso or a velvety latte, the coffee here is always on point. You can really taste the freshness of the beans they use. Plus, the cozy, welcoming vibe makes it the perfect place to relax, chat, or even get some work done. If you appreciate great coffee, Cafe Luna won’t disappoint!“

“Picked up food twice here on a road trip by ordering online…super fast service and good quality food. Good veg options too. They got customizations right with the super speedy service too! Thank you, was a huge blessing to eat good healthy food at Panera while on the road and tight on time!“

“Visited Neat, and I have to say the service was excellent, and the coffee was absolutely delicious and incredibly refreshing. We also tried the fluffy bread next door, which was just as enjoyable.

One thing to be aware of is that the ground flooring is very uneven, so it's worth watching your step while walking around the area. Unfortunately, our date was cut short due to an incident in the surrounding area shortly after we grabbed our coffee and food. Even so, the quality of the drinks, food, and friendly service left a positive impression.“

“The best breads and delicious cakes/sweets! We recently had a big birthday party with an amazing birthday cake. Everyone raved about the cake!“

“Had the Pho with chicken. Absolutely delectable. Head chef came out to take our orders and make sure everything was good, even made custom sauces! My one gripe is that you have to buy the board games they have and can’t just use them. They have a VIP only table and a bar, with a few other tables for dining in. The owners were lovely and extremely helpful. Overall would absolutely go again!“

“Super friendly staff, clean shop, and generous with the schmere !! I asked for a nice portion of cream cheese and they did not disappoint :) not sure why people are saying this is expensive? it’s no more than UCBC and all I get is a bad attitude when I go there.. .. I’ve paid more for a cookie … Totally worth it!!!!“

“Delicious coffee , wine and friendly staff“

“Their coffee is super awesome! I love it.“

“This restaurant is professional and clean, friendly and inviting. Have ordered a few times and each item has been delicious and served with a smile which is extremely nice to see. The prices are reasonable for the area and the menu is bendable. The only suggestion I would have is a gluten free option and the combo comes with either a lemonade or iced tea and this was very watered down (flavor was barely there). Which you could add outdoor seating or more tables inside. Stools don’t always suit certain clients and the table was used by a single man on a computer with no food.“
