“We got the hojicha strawberry lattes (oat and regular milk) and a pookie monster. Thanks to the packaging, the drinks survived an 1.5 hr drive and were delicious. They were perfectly sweet at standard sweetness. The ingredients tasted fresh and flavorful. We also got six different mochi donuts, which were all delicious. Our favorites in order (would eat a second donut if possible to good) were the creme brulee, strawberry, ube, matcha, chocolate sprinkle and churro.“

“Not just granola, this place has wraps, bowls, and savory breakfast options all day. Great food. The breakfast tacos were super interesting and the breakfast sandwich was made with crispy bacon and your choice of breads/toast, cheese and eggs however you like them. Service was super polite, efficient, and there when you need them. About 8 tables in a modern space with background music that is just a touch loud.“

“My husband and I eat from there often, we have been served by the owner who’s so nice and provides amazing service. 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.

“Tiny coffee joint on Elm Street in bustling downtown New Canaan offering authentic Italian coffee and delicious baked specialties. Not only breakfast items but yummy looking salads and paninis as well! Really small cost indoor seating area and a small patio seating area make this potentially better for take out than dine in. Overall very cute!“

If you’re in Westport, this is a place you need to come and eat their food. I’ve had lots of items on their menu and it’s always delicious and well put together.“

“We have been coming to the Westport Library Café for so many years — from when our child was in elementary school all the way until going off to college. 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!“

“I drove out from NY to spend the day exploring Westport and area.
I walked Aug and down Main Street and finally found GG & Joe off the Main Street and behind a building.
They have a large private patio with chairs tables and umbrellas. In side, there are lots of seating options. Two nice clean bathrooms are in the back.
I ordered an Americano ( it was made just right) and a blueberry scone, which was delicious.
The vibe is very nice and there is a nice looking customer base. Very busy inside today.
Friendly service and very comfortable place to sit and people watch for a while.“

“The best desserts I’ve ever had!!! The food is incredible, the place is very clean, organized, and welcoming. It’s a truly different and unique experience, and the service is absolutely perfect! I was personally helped by a lovely young woman with black hair who was incredibly kind to me and my friends. That’s why I’m giving this place a 10/10!“

“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!“

“5 out of 5 hands down! The atmosphere is awesome, the staff are wonderful and the food... BOMB. The Katsu Chicken sandwich is my favorite! They also have ready to go cold salads, sandwiches, juices and small snacks which makes a quick stop easy, efficient and healthy!“

“Went there for the first time today with a friend and had a great time! Good food, great atmosphere and Paola is a sweetheart!! Def going back soon!!“

“Number one the customer service received is always immaculate! The staff is extremely friendly, welcoming and next the food is amazing! Whatever they put in their simple chicken and potatoes with rice special is to die for! No complaints whatsoever, if you’re in the area don’t hesitate to place an order!“

“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!“

“Wonderful cuisine by Chef Ben Freemole ! The place is delightful, the perfect escape after a busy day in the city. Will be back!!“

“Found myself in Darien for the first time! Neat was an incredible find. The barista at the register was so kind and had excellent customer service. I ordered their seasonal maple latte and it was perfect! It’s hard to find good quality espresso in CT with house made syrups so this was a gem. If you’re looking for specialty coffee Neat is the place! If you like diner coffee stay away 😂“

“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!“

“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?“

“Another amazing visit to Green & Tonic! My family and I come in almost every day, and every single staff member is wonderful, but I wanted to give a special shoutout to Morris and Domenica.

Morris is truly one of the kindest and most professional employees I have ever encountered. He is beyond polite, respectful, welcoming, and consistently provides exceptional customer service. Today, he even took the time to update my preferences since I’m such a frequent customer so the team knows exactly how I like my orders. That level of attentiveness made me feel genuinely valued and shows how much he cares about creating a positive customer experience.

What stands out most about Morris is his initiative, attention to detail, reliability, and ability to make every customer feel important. He is an excellent communicator, always maintains a positive attitude, and represents the company incredibly well. Employees like Morris are the reason customers become loyal regulars. He demonstrates the qualities of a true leader and someone any organization would be fortunate to have on their team.

Domenica is equally incredible. She is one of the sweetest, most gracious people I’ve met and is always beyond polite. She consistently brings such positive energy and professionalism, and her work ethic is outstanding. Every interaction with her is pleasant, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about both her customers and her work.

The entire team creates such a welcoming atmosphere, which is one of the many reasons we keep coming back. Green & Tonic is lucky to have employees like Morris and Domenica. Thank you all for making every visit such a great experience!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Delicioso 😋 🥗 ensaladas muy ricas y la sopa 🍜 muy sabrosa y caliente con un café y una manzana 🍎 muy dulce!“

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

“I go there to write and meet my friends“

“First off bathrooms are clean. Plenty of seating options. And the cappuccino was on point. Always searching for a perfect cappuccino. The barista confirmed his Marzocco was dialed in and ready to go. And he delivered with great latte art and the smooth taste matched it…. We will be back!“

“Credit for this review goes directly to Cecilia, the counter/cashier working mornings.
Before her arrival, it was a hit or miss as far as your order being complete and priced correctly.
Since her hiring, each and every morning you are greeted with a sincere and polite smile.
She reads back to you the order and double checks as she packs it.
She is most definitely a five star employee.“
