So many fun drink options (I love the special touches like seasonal sprinkles or edible glitter!) the food is always great and the specials rotate regularly so there is always something new!! Make sure to get the hash browns!

My husband and I discovered the Paperback Cafe years ago and now when we visit Old Saybrook, CT it is always our first stop. The pistachio lattes are the best we’ve had. When you open the door to their restaurant, you instantly feel the warmth and welcoming atmosphere from their friendly staff. The Long Island Sound map and shelves filled with Katherine Hepburn books, plants and beach vibes give a wonderfully cozy vibe to their restaurant. Make sure to try their one of a kind...

I was served by Anna after a mistake on a drink, even though there were multiple employees which addressed me, she assessed the situation and made it 20 times better. Thank you for making my experience better, it means alot, especially when. People are going through things.
