Restaurants in Stamford

“Awesome place; fantabulous menu with creative presentation….. above all a very cordial group who serve with a smile. The creativity in the creation of the drinks is mind blowing… I would eat here every day …”

“Went with my wife on Tuesday we love the Delicious fresh Mexican food, Frances was amazing she was on top of everything she was very friendly we didn’t know what to order she give us a recommendation on food was delicious also she recommended the piña colada was a good choice we will recommend Puerto Vallarta to our friends.”

“My husband and I recently hosted our baby shower for our first baby at Flinder's last weekend (3/21/26), and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. We hosted roughly 55 people and utilized the entire restaurant for our private event (restaurant buyout). From the onset, Ross and Eric (Mgr. + Assistant Mgr.) were incredibly friendly, responsive to all my questions via email, and agreed to meet not once, but TWICE in-person to ensure all details were accounted for, and that our requests would be accommodated. The event ran smoothly because of their professionalism and attention to detail. During the event, the kitchen, bar, and wait staff were incredibly attentive, kind, friendly, and honestly felt like part of the party the entire time. Our family and friends raved about the entire experience, including the service, the food, and the configuration of the space. We left smiling from ear-to-ear, and are incredibly grateful to everyone at Flinder's for helping to make our baby shower a great success!”

“Well worth the trip. Excellent banh mí sandwiches and delicious Vietnamese iced coffee.”

“There are places you stumble into for convenience, and then there are places that feel like they’ve been waiting for you all along—quietly perfecting their craft while the rest of the world argues about trends and fusion nonsense. Cinco de Mayo is the latter.

You smell it before you even sit down. Not the timid, sanitized version of “Mexican food” that gets paraded around strip malls—but the real deal. Warm corn tortillas hitting a flat-top. Meat sizzling with purpose. Cilantro and onion cutting through the air like a sharp knife. There’s a faint hum of spice—cumin, maybe a whisper of chili—hanging low, like it knows it belongs there. It doesn’t beg for your attention. It earns it.

The room itself? No pretension. No curated “aesthetic” dreamed up by someone who’s never eaten standing at a street cart. It’s alive. Conversations bounce off the walls. Plates clatter. There’s an easy rhythm to it all—like everyone in the room is in on the same secret: this is what it’s supposed to feel like. You don’t come here for ambiance in the Instagram sense. You come here because it feels honest.

And then—the tacos.

Simple. Dangerous word, “simple.” Because when something is this stripped down, there’s nowhere to hide. The tortilla is soft, fresh, doing exactly what it needs to do—nothing more, nothing less. The meat? Tender, deeply seasoned, the kind of flavor that doesn’t shout but lingers. You get that first bite and suddenly you’re not in Connecticut anymore—you’re somewhere louder, warmer, more alive. A squeeze of lime, maybe a hit of salsa if you’re feeling bold, and that’s it. No gimmicks. No distractions. Just balance.

You eat one, then another, then you stop counting because counting feels beside the point.

Five stars? Sure. But that doesn’t quite capture it. This isn’t about stars. It’s about walking in hungry and leaving with something that feels a little closer to satisfaction—real satisfaction, the kind that doesn’t need explaining”

“This particular review is a testament to Layla’s as a catering service. They’re everything you could ask for from a small business: great prices, incredible food, and a personal level of detail. JP was a pleasure to work with and we really impressed our guests when we told them this delicious and diverse platter we ordered was from Layla’s. I would 10/10 recommend them to others and do plan to use them again. Thanks again Layla’s team!”

“Felizzzz lo recomiendo al 💯 una atención única 😄😄😄”

“💓 This place is so pink & so cute! The food, lattes & baked treats…so delicious! Highly recommend!”

“The best food going back again .⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Second time having Ethiopian, first time having Eritrean cuisine.

Food was very delicious and thoroughly cooked!
The entree, tea and Ethiopian Coffee ice cream dessert were perfect!
The music playlist was perfectly curated and certainly created the ambience while dining.

The host Elena was very kind, patient and hospitable!

Efren was GREAT - took the time to explain the dishes and give great recommendations on how to combine dishes and pair them with the proper drink for an authentic Ethiopian dining experience.

The lady behind the bar was also very pleasant!

Will be spreading the word on this Stamford gem, and looking forward to returning again for another pleasant and delicious dinner!”

“This place is perfection! Just steps from Stamford Center for the Arts' Palace Theatre, it's perfect for dinner and a show, drinks, etc. The good is always fresh, vibrant & delicious. Respectful of dietary choices/restrictions. Gorgeous hotels on either side. Seriously perfect!”

“Wellness shots, fresh juice, and açaí bowls! Everyone is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable!”

“Just wanted to thank you for serving the most tender (cut with a fork) and flavorful Berkshire pork chop I have had the pleasure of eating. This compliment on your quality and preparation is unequivocal as I have eaten pork chops in more than 200 restaurants throughout the USA, Mexico, South America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Japan, Spain and France. My absolute favorite brined pork chop is served at Castelli’s Ristorante in Palm Desert CA. Inasmuch as my brother lives in Stamford I will be back. BTW my wife’s Braised Short Ribs were melt in your mouth as well. A great big thank you and hat’s off to the culinary team.”

“This wonderful dinner was incredible!!!! absolutely 💯 delicious and way above other Italian restaurants in the area. They make food with love!!! Everything from beginning ✨️ to end was perfect 🥰 Thank you so very much for the hard work that you put into this! The food is fresh, hot and delicious! Loved the full glasses 🥂 of wine 🍷 too!!!”

“Went there for the first time today with my family for Father’s Day. The food and service was excellent! Would definitely go again!”

“The hibachi was amazing! We also had sushi and fried calamari were scrumptious.”

“Absolutely love this place! Been there a few times, the food is soooooo good and the atmosphere is great. Highly recommend if you’re open to different flavors.”

“The food was amazing! I had the mafaldine Nero which is a seasonal selection and my fiancé had the beef Wellington and both were delicious. The Wellington was cooked perfectly and my pasta with braised octopus was to die for. We also had the creme brûlée which was delicious. The margarita was one of the tastiest margaritas and I’m not a big margarita fan. The old fashioned with hibiscus infused bourbon was unique in it’s taste but I loved it. It gave the bourbon a refreshing taste. Service was excellent!”

“Excellent bar! Amazing, delicious food and drink, plus great service. Professional waiters and nice music in stunning environment. Absolutely recommended 💜 Thanks.”

“Celebrated my birthday cooking with 14 friends! The food and chefs were truly memorable! We’ll definitely be coming back! The class was well organized and fun!”

“This restaurant is fabulous! Well worth stopping in. Every meal i have had there has been superb. Service is impeccable. I has a definite feel of a very hospitable local family restaurant like those we have enjoyed many times in Italy.”

“The terrific food was complimented by the friendly and informative staff. From the greeting by the host to the farewell by the servers it was a 5 star experience and I'm sure when I'm back in Stamford I will be dining here again. Great job.”

“Love Villa Italia! The food is always delicious. Highly recommend the chicken milanese and sitting outdoors when the weather permits.”

“Best Colombian food in Connecticut hands down”

“Always an amazing experience here! I’ve been so lucky to have been sat with Ahmed and Jordan when I’ve come to Capital Grille - each of whom made for memorable experiences and unique, personalized service over incredible food. The NY strip au poivre is a personal favorite but across the table we loved everything that we got - drinks, apps, salads, steaks, sides (the brussels sprouts especially - omg), desserts and cappuccinos to finish were all perfectly prepared and delicious. The chef even visited our table which we loved, 10/10 and we’ll continue to come back and recommend this location to friends. :)”

“the classic chicken souvlaki was great. the atmosphere wonderful and loud. 😀”

“I "cried" when my fave VEGAN or VEGETARIAN "GO-to" eat-in place closed all their locations around Boston. That was sadly & formerly GrainMaker .. (gone now) However DiG has grown on me as their deFACTO replacement for all FRESH VEGGIES and otherwise ALL FRESH MEAL VEGAN or VEGETERIAN eats and eat-in place! This is becoming my greatly reccomended "hidden vegan and veggie gem" in Boston with LOTS of locations. They have 3 locations thus far in Boston and 2 in Cambridge. I hav ONLY visited their downtown location thus far! Just as formerly with GrainMaker, DiG is as close to authentic home cooked! & genuinely HEALTHY! AND fresh meals that you can get to. Always fresh veggies, steamed & otherwise. --(they also serve a variety of proteins, as in variety of meats and fish, but i stay vegan. I have NEVER tried any of their meats or fish here.. ONLY their veggies and seasoned TOFU on occasion.. more oft than not, i do not even get their TOFU as a protein and opt to feast on JUST their steamed or boiled or baked veggies, bases. like rice and excellent mixed veggie salads sides!) Have been frequenting it for about 2 years since 2023 now, but held off on reviewing it until i was SURE of my experiences here. Decided to review it today bcs "it's time". I spoke to the very customer service oriented and responsibve supervisor here at this location, his name is DiJuan and was served by Adonis today and he was also very accommodating (after i explained i eat vegan) and on showing me my MANY fresh veggie choices, bases, proteins (including delish prepared Tofu) and PLENTY of heavenly veggie sides, all preped like you'd expect to find in a Thanksgiving grand day family meal. (AND they do this EVERY DAY!! ) This is HEALTHY eats and quite tasty and delish! See my posted pic w this review of my choice of eats today. In short, just today, i started with very little brown rice as my base and added 2 types of their fresh salad, Cannellini Beans w dill & greens along with their steamed or boiled Kale greens and added also a sweet potato that had been steamed & also steamed brocolli. I LUV eating fresh, healthy, TASTY and "homemade style" (as in NOT processed!!). I added their Garlic dressing to top it off. It came to something like 10+ bucks (B4 tax)! Unheard of !! for a BIG & FULLY portioned full veggie plate like this! BIG PORTION of a FULL PLATE! -- i declined, as usual to get any protein with my meal today, is why, STiLL i got a HUGE portioned plate! ( I normally HAVE2 order 2 - 3 separate orders and combine them, at HoneyGrow, anuther fave local "vegan" franchise in Boston, in order to get filled up if i'm only eating OMAD, as in One-meal-a-Day, in order to get full elsewhere usually!). They have a FAMILY (feeds4) option after 3pm every day that feeds 4-5 people (adults not kids) for like $43. QUITE A BARGAIN for something like this. AND it look like a Thankgiving day meal to top it off! --(formerly anuther non-vegan place "had this", now gone, called Boston Market. However they LOADED their side protions and even base meal with SO MUCH SALT, yuck! so that was ALL you could taste. THEY supposedly made home made, but found out NOT SO!!, theirs was loaded with processed sh*t, like their supposedly home-made mashed potatoes were the powder kind, loaded with pseudo milk and SALT, YUCK!!) NOT SO ! with this place.. DiG is 180 degrees fr tht.. This is truly GREAT tasting REAL and "home-prepped" veggies. They are winning me over from my other 2 "go-to's" "vegan-ish" franchises in Boston whcih have steadily been declining for various reasons, those being Bon-Me (their employees, over at Bon-Me for last 2-3 years it seems at ALL locations i have tried, simply do not undertsand nor speak english for the most part, their food WEN i can get it ordered the way i want it, is generally good, oft times its taken over 2 returned plates in order to get it prepared the way i orderd it.. v”

“I can’t say enough good things about this sandwich shop. The owners are some of the kindest, most welcoming people you’ll meet, and the food is absolutely incredible. I always order the chicken cutlet sandwich, and honestly I haven’t found a chicken cutlet anywhere that comes close to theirs. It’s perfectly made every time and keeps me coming back. Great food, great people, and a place I’m always happy to support. Highly recommend!”

“I met the owner yesterday when my friend and I attended the Halloween brunch. We live over an hour away but the drive was well worth it. His friendly hospitality and warm staff were very much appreciated 👻🎃 Thanks guys!”

“I had a cobb wrap and I haven't had a big delicious, fresh sandwich like it in a LONG time! This place is a bit more $$ but worth it considering the quality you get! Heck you could eat half and save half and that's your savings right there! I DON'T work there either!
I just wanted to go outta my way to write reviews when these quality places exit to get the word out. Good lunch sandwich, that's all I know.”

“From living in white plains and driving over for a quick bite before work to now living upstate NY I still find myself craving and making the trip down. Always great service.
Staff is friendly and efficient my order has always been correct never had any issues.”

“I love this Donut Delight I have been going here since 2016! My favorite place to grab a quick coffee in Stamford. Quality is usually standard, although sometimes the ice coffee seems watered down. I still come back though”

“Best food truck in Connecticut! Delicious food and amazing workers. 10/10”

“Mariana is a wonderful server,efficient, kind, and always knows what we want. She refills my iced tea without being asked! Going to the diner is always a pleasure with her.”

“Friendly svc Quick Clean Beans and rice delicious Chicken tacos great”

“We were on a road trip, and looking for a place to stop with our dog. It was raining, so we were looking for somewhere indoors. We were also hoping to find somewhere with food (which can be tricky with a dog and indoors), open a bit early, and if possible, hoped to watch some EPL soccer games. It seemed like a long list of things we were hoping to find, and that we probably wouldn’t be able to find somewhere to meet it all… Then we found this place! Great atmosphere, dog friendly indoor and outdoor, food truck, opened early, AND had tvs with soccer on… couldn’t believe how lucky we were to find this! The drinks, food, and service were great. And to top it off, they had Athletic brewing on tap!”

“Great place for good real food”

“Excellent Sushi 🍣 so fresh, amazing Thai been going there for over 11 years. You will not be disappointed. It's family-owned. It's more than just Sushi it has Thai,Seafood, Curry and of course freshest Sushi around! xopuma”

“We just hosted a Celebration of Life- And Walter was wonderful to work with. The food was very good and service top notch!!!!!”

“I had such an amazing experience at Mecha Noodle Bar in Stamford Connecticut! From the moment we walked in, everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The manager was so kind and attentive, which made the whole experience feel even more special.
The atmosphere was vibrant, cozy, and tun. We ordered several appetizers, bubble teas, and the ribs, and everything was absolutely spectacular. The appetizers were full of flavor, the drinks were refreshing and creative, and the ribs were tender, juicy, and pertectly seasoned. Every dish that came to the table was beautifully prepared and delicious.
You can really tell they care about the quality of the food and the customer experience. The service, the energy, and the food all came together to create such a memorable night. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends and family!”

“This place has the best general tsaos chicken in all of Stamford and possibly Fairfield County not only is the food top notch quality, but the service is impeccable, and they are so helpful with everything that we asked for to accommodate for and all of the requests we made. I literally order from them all the time now because my son absolutely loves their food as do I (sesame chicken is my fav!) I will be a regular customer for as long as I live in Stamford. You guys rock!!!”

“So worth it to go and eat here or even just get carry out. It's a small and quaint place with a lot of character, including the people who work there. It almost feels like you are at your best friends house or a family members just hanging out and getting taken care of!

We got, the kimchi rice, Korean fried chicken, bahn mi bulgogi sandwich and steamed pork dumplings! It was all so delicious!! We will definitely be coming back and making this a weekly spot!”

“Quick appreciation post to Cobs Bread on High Ridge Road. My 2 year old son went in earlier and took a VERY long time to pick out what he wanted. The young lady helping us was so patient and kind with him. Once he picked out his treat, she told us that it was on her. So amazing. The young lady was wearing a Stamford High Mask. Hoping this reaches her parent or boss, what a wonderful young lady and amazing customer service! ❤️”

“I left an emotional review the other day when my online pizza order was incorrect- user error apparently, I don’t know how to remove it, so I wanted to give an update. The OWNER of the business took time out of his day to come to my house to explain and apologize for the mistake. I guess I clicked on the cheese on 1/2, when I thought it was extra cheese (as it was a large cheese pizza). Honest mistake for the pizza maker who also answered the phone and was a bit overwhelmed but a very sure housewife, asking why the pizza was naked, w an angry 6yr old asking me “how could this happen??? I looooove Bronx house…” Drama. So, I take it back- and am so happy we can keep ordering from this establishment. My kid loves the pizza, and it’s super quick and conveniently located by the hockey rink… lesson learned, just call. Us dinosaurs are no good at online ordering.”

“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!”

“You're not going to experience what you experience here. Multiple hot girls. Elegant in their own ways, The atmosphere is 10 out of 10.

“really good chicken over rice and shawarma rice plate!! loved the green curry sauce”

“I tried their sweet and sour chicken and it came with complementary nachos and dip which was very tasty. The chicken was good as well. Hopefully will go back again and try food from the Desi menu. They have two restaurants in one location. The Desi one is open during the day and not at night”

“Stopped in after a Google search. Plenty of good restaurants in CT and this place is one of them. To be honest I ordered the lasagna to go and after a 3 hour trip from NJ I was ready to eat. No pics of the before only the after because it was very good. Loves every bit and intended on coming back.”

“TropiGlace is hands down the tastiest Ecuadorian ice cream spot in Stamford! The owner, Paola, is super friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better.

They are winning me over from my other 2 "go-to's" "vegan-ish" franchises in Boston whcih have steadily been declining for various reasons, those being Bon-Me (their employees, over at Bon-Me for last 2-3 years it seems at ALL locations i have tried, simply do not undertsand nor speak english for the most part, their food WEN i can get it ordered the way i want it, is generally good, oft times its taken over 2 returned plates in order to get it prepared the way i orderd it.. v”

“This particular review is a testament to Layla’s as a catering service. They’re everything you could ask for from a small business: great prices, incredible food, and a personal level of detail. JP was a pleasure to work with and we really impressed our guests when we told them this delicious and diverse platter we ordered was from Layla’s. I would 10/10 recommend them to others and do plan to use them again. Thanks again Layla’s team!”

“Had a great experience and wanted to give a shoutout to Reighn! She was so friendly, bubbly, and made us feel welcome right away. She answered all of our questions, gave some great recommendations and was especially attentive when it came to my boyfriend’s lactose intolerance, which we really appreciated.

It’s the little things that make a difference, and her positive attitude and attention to detail made our outing that much better.”

“💓 This place is so pink & so cute! The food, lattes & baked treats…so delicious! Highly recommend!”

“There are places you stumble into for convenience, and then there are places that feel like they’ve been waiting for you all along—quietly perfecting their craft while the rest of the world argues about trends and fusion nonsense. Cinco de Mayo is the latter.

You smell it before you even sit down. Not the timid, sanitized version of “Mexican food” that gets paraded around strip malls—but the real deal. Warm corn tortillas hitting a flat-top. Meat sizzling with purpose. Cilantro and onion cutting through the air like a sharp knife. There’s a faint hum of spice—cumin, maybe a whisper of chili—hanging low, like it knows it belongs there. It doesn’t beg for your attention. It earns it.

The room itself? No pretension. No curated “aesthetic” dreamed up by someone who’s never eaten standing at a street cart. It’s alive. Conversations bounce off the walls. Plates clatter. There’s an easy rhythm to it all—like everyone in the room is in on the same secret: this is what it’s supposed to feel like. You don’t come here for ambiance in the Instagram sense. You come here because it feels honest.

And then—the tacos.

Simple. Dangerous word, “simple.” Because when something is this stripped down, there’s nowhere to hide. The tortilla is soft, fresh, doing exactly what it needs to do—nothing more, nothing less. The meat? Tender, deeply seasoned, the kind of flavor that doesn’t shout but lingers. You get that first bite and suddenly you’re not in Connecticut anymore—you’re somewhere louder, warmer, more alive. A squeeze of lime, maybe a hit of salsa if you’re feeling bold, and that’s it. No gimmicks. No distractions. Just balance.

You eat one, then another, then you stop counting because counting feels beside the point.

Five stars? Sure. But that doesn’t quite capture it. This isn’t about stars. It’s about walking in hungry and leaving with something that feels a little closer to satisfaction—real satisfaction, the kind that doesn’t need explaining”

“Ordered online. The expected wait time was 26 minutes, which was both great and accurate. When I arrive, my order was ready. It was given to me with a pleasant smile.

We ordered a build your own pizza with onions, fresh garlic, roasted red peppers and mushrooms, and it was absolutely delicious with a crispy crust, delicious sauce, mozzarella, and perfect veggies. The flourless chocolate cake was very chocolatey and rich, and the tiramisu was very good.

Everything was packaged very well. We were offered plates and napkins. Couldn’t expect anything more.”

“really good chicken over rice and shawarma rice plate!! loved the green curry sauce”

“Excellent! Been a while since I’ve been here and been a while since I’ve been in the northeast, so it tastes even better after being out west for so long.”

“will be back recommend this place loved the food great service nice atmosphere”

“located downtown Stamford. good fun area. Bar is fun. resonable prices.”

“The donuts! We had an omelet and pancakes both were better than expected. Service was excellent and very friendly. Atmosphere was quaint with a nice view of the lake. Wouldn’t recommend for wheelchair users. It’s a small place and therefore seating is very tight.”

“great place”

“I was pleasantly greeted by Karla who provided excellent customer service! This was my first time visiting this location. Because of her hospitality and kindness I will definitely be back! Thank you Karla!”

“Their natural juices are the best, the food is consistently good, and the portions are great for the price. The staff was especially kind and welcoming. Definitely has become one of my go-to spots.”

“Went for Happy hour and everything was delicious! The birria stew had a strong cinnamon taste and that threw me off a little but over all everything was great! Love the tinga tostada”

“Food was delicious! They did not disappoint”

“I discovered this taproom when roaming around Stamford. They have over 40 different taps where you can pour your own beers, wines, and even kombuchas. It’s self service like frozen yogurt and they have different glasses you can choose from depending on your choice. They also have glass cleaners at the taps too. This taproom has darts, shuffleboarding, and karaoke amongst things to do. Highly recommend”

“RIZZ Lounge & Grill is a fantastic place to enjoy great food, amazing drinks, and a lively atmosphere. We’ve visited several times now, and each experience has been consistently excellent. The service is welcoming, the food is delicious, and the overall vibe makes it a perfect spot to relax and have a great time.

We highly recommend RIZZ Lounge & Grill to anyone looking for more than just a typical restaurant experience!”

“Went with a friend and the food and drinks are great. The best of all were the mojitos and margaritas. Staff was super friendly and welcoming and the Quesabirrias are the best I have tried.”

“This is a very nice place to get good food and good service. They are friendly, affordable, and the menu options/deals are perfect. They are centrally located in downtown Stamford which is an easy walk. They also have great catering services. Top notch!”

“I have been using Wonder since they have opened the Stamford Connecticut location. It’s great for after work take home dinners when you want don’t feel like cooking! Because of the variety of food there is always something for everyone!”

“Guac Time Stamford truly exceeded my expectations with their chicken birria tacos and bowl. The flavors were outstanding and the quality of the food was top-notch. This is by far the best place for authentic Mexican cuisine in the area.”

“Just tried Mr. Falafel and I’m obsessed! I had the Chicken Shawarma on pita and it came with fries. The shawarma was delicious and the fries were flavorful!! Their customer service was elite, everyone was sweet, patient, and helpful! They have a ton of cute photo ops and decor as well. Definitely coming back”

“I come here almost every week when I don’t order for delivery. Alina, Domenica, and Chris are always friendly and attentive. The vibes are always right. The atmosphere is also always welcoming. I love the essence and energy here. The food is always tasty and delicious. The latte drinks are soooo yummy. Alina always makes my drinks with care and love— which is why they always taste so good. Not once have I ever walked out disappointed. Shout outs to this team, they’ve earned my sincerest gratitude. If I could give them 10 stars I would. I highly recommend for anyone looking for healthy vegan friendly options.”

“I ordered a chop cheese twice. The first time it was delicious. This time it was burnt and dry. Im from the Bronx so to charge 15.00 for a chop cheese it had better taste good all the time. NY doesn't even charge this much.”

“This was my first time at this Stamford location and my second time at Insomnia Cookies overall. This spot is brand new and it shows. It’s bright, clean, and surprisingly bigger inside than it looks from the outside. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which is always a good start.

We ordered a mix of treats including the confetti cookie, blonde brownie, chocolate cookies, and vanilla ice cream. Everything was good and fresh. The only downside is that it was a little sweeter than we prefer, but still enjoyable and not over the top.

Overall, a solid dessert stop and a nice addition to the area. I’d definitely come back when the cookie craving hits. Plus, there’s parking nearby which makes it easy.”

“I’ve been to this Dunkin’ location a few times now and it has been consistently solid. The store is always clean, very well lit, not crowded, and surprisingly spacious with a decent amount of seating.

I’ve ordered several different drinks on separate visits and everything has been correct and tasted great. The staff has always been friendly and welcoming, which makes a difference when you’re just trying to grab something quick. I do not believe I have had food at this location yet, but based on my experiences so far, I am sure it will be just as good.

The only downside right now is that the drive thru is not open yet. Hopefully that changes soon. That said, they do have a parking lot and there is street parking throughout the area, so it is still convenient.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this location.”
