45 Best Cafes near Westport

“I've gotten donuts from here so many times and each time, I always leave wanting more. The inside of the shop is cute, cozy, and bright. It's perfect for chatting with a friend or getting some work done. Service here is really nice and always consistent.

Their menu offers a rotating menu of donuts with some staples but also some seasonal items, such as pumpkin spice. They also have Korean corn dogs (that are phenomenal) and a diverse menu of fun drinks, ranging from matcha to hot chocolate to milk tea to coffee. The quality here is amazing and each drink or donut I get is always full of flavor and the perfect amount of sweetness. Love this shop and I highly recommend you to check it out!“

“Enjoyed a delicious lunch on the patio. Quiche Lorraine was excellent. Service was delightful.“

“Great food and atmosphere. The staff was awesome!!!!“

“I can’t say enough! Strawberry matcha, lattes, coffee and every pastry, scone or cookie, avocado toast, I’ve had is seriously delicious. Whatever coffee they use, their nut milks, does not cause me to have any bad reactions. I think their super curated ingredients are a reflection of that. Consistently good, fresh, clean. Even with the volume of customers, they keep this place CLEAN. It gets busy. So prepared for that. Cute spots to sit. But nothing cozy and quiet. Expect bustling business. Lots of teens but also families and mid age ppl. Great ingredients and a healthy alternative to less healthier options.“

“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?“

“This was a really cute and comfortable place for dinner; I'm really happy my friend suggested it. The staff was really nice and the food was delicious! If you do decide to get the nachos though, be prepared for the family style portion - it was no joke! Best part: it already came packaged in its own tray, so all you had to do was put the top back on and take it home. Very convenient, very efficient! :) Parking lot is small, but there's plenty of street parking to make up for it. I would definitely recommend!“

“Ricardo Daniels Easycredit Recommended this establishment amazing customer service great coffee and Menu it's great .“

“Neighborhood gem! Great coffee, breakfast, lunch and cookies“

“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!“

“Went here w my girlfriend for the first time today. Got the calm down smoothie (I think that’s what it’s called?). Girl at the front was very nice and the smoothie came out in about 2-3 minutes. Atmosphere inside was very bright and nice. Will definitely be coming back again.“

“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 😂“

“Enjoyed dinner last night in Westport! Food was delicious! Definitely recommend!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“Its a great place to watch sports and Tony is a awesome person“

“I go there to write and meet my friends“

“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.“
