“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.“

“Tutto molto buono e posto gradevole“

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!“

“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 ;)“

Every cup feels like it’s crafted with care—from the rich aroma that fills the air to the perfectly balanced flavors.

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!“

“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.“

“Delicious coffee , wine and friendly staff“

“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!“

“Every time I have ordered from this particular branch … the soups were slightly lumpy and also saltier than other branches … same with the sandwiches … they had that extra bit of salt …
I wonder why ?
Never experienced this in other panera branches I have been to.“

“always a smile to greet you with your order“

“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 🌿✨“

“We just had lunch at Elvira's today. The sandwiches were DELICIOUS. I had the hot dog with sauerkraut and onions, my sister had the portabella mushrooms and mozzarella sandwich, my husband had BLT and my brother-in-law had tuna salad. Crunchy onion rings and Joey's famous fries were super good. Everything was delicious. It was easy to order on line and our "server" Sam treated us like family. Great service, easy to order, the food was yummy and we ate it by the beach. What could be better?“

“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.“

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

“Cozy cafe in the heart of downtown Stamford with such a relaxing ambience. The colors, decor, abundance of outlets, and strong Wifi make this an ideal study spot. On top of that, the service is excellent and the food is delicious! A variety of snacks, desserts, drinks, and meals. Highly recommend.“

“My fiancé and I come here once per weekend to get coffee and breakfast and see our favorite employees, Angie, Maddy & Gary. These folks make it such a great way to start the weekend/morning and the coffee and food are always great! Would highly recommend checking this spot out if you are in town looking for a great start to your day.“

“When they do it right a lot of their baked goods can be pretty good but sadly they are often over baked and dry. They have struggled to keep consistent staff and several of the new staff don't seem to listen to your order. Sandy is amazing, friendly and courteous. I will often let other people go ahead just to ensure she is the one helping me.“

“Love the LA Fit wrap, of course on a habanero tortilla. Great soups, too. All around a great option for a quick lunch.“

“There is no option like Salzburg in Stamford! An assortment of fresh foods prepared daily - the quality of the ingredients used is palpable in every bite. Some favorites are their chicken Cesar wrap, chicken dumplings, tuna salad, yogurt parfait and penne a la vodka! It’s hard not to come to this place for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

A big part of the experience is how professional and attentive the waitstaff is here. Besa and Gerta are so welcoming and hospitable, run a tight ship, and always make it a point to ensure I’m 100% in love with my order(s). If you’re looking for a consistent 10/10 eatery, Salzburg is it!“

“beautiful shop and smallish eating area. delicious pastries...street parking plentiful. service excellent. apple tart and almond croissant were purchased and exceptional!!!“
