“Lunch and breakfast items are delicious! Try the variety of pizzas, calzones , quiches, desserts and cinnamon buns… all to die for! Everything is homemade, the owner is onsite, so friendly and welcoming/ an absolute gem! Be sure to add this as a stop if ever in upper state New York or want a quick ferry ride from Vermont. Worth a visit.”

“I stopped there recently with my girlfriend and we both had western omelets that were fantastic. Mine was the best omelet I've had in quite a time. The eggs were fluffy and seasoned very well and all of the other ingredients were fresh and flavorful. We ordered directly from the cook who was very friendly and kind, in a cute little dining room that was playing the classics and was so quaint, homey, charming and friendly that we've already sworn we would go back. I cannot recommend highly enough. Please check it out, you won't be disappointed!”

“Best cookies around!! We love this place!!”

“Quaint and comfortable, small town eatery with super professional and friendly staff and delicious, although limited, menu. Doesn't matter though...the ambiance and quality totally make up for it. The plate presentation is culinary grade and the flavors are devine but a little pricey for the portions, but all is forgiven for the tough times and raising costs in Vermont. My steak was a poor cut, seeming some porter or strip and quite slot of gristle, but prepared as I asked.”

“Holy deliciousness! A friend alerted me to the Swiftie inspired sample set, and every flavor is so unique, rich with flavor, and SO CREAMY. This may be my new favorite ice cream. HIGHLY recommend!! I will definitely be back, but how will I choose a flavor?!”

I'm so glad we did- We sat at the bar and had a glass of wine and a beer, we split two appetizers and biryani, everything was delicious, and quick. Family owned, the nice young man who served us said his aunt and uncle were the owners. Highly recommend.”

Daisy made me a Sweater Weather dirty soda with rootbeer. So good! It’s so nice to have this as an option in Westport! The customer service was great…Keith & Daisy went out of their way to make sure I was taken care of as well as their friendly staff. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting at the bar too by the window. I highly recommend K&D’s if you’re in Westport!”
