50 Best Coffee Shops near South Salem

“I went here almost every day for a sugar shack iced latte while I was back in town after my dad died. We also got sandwiches several times for lunch as well as pastries. Everything is delicious and the staff are incredibly kind.“

“Enjoying my first visit- lovely spot with lovely service and yummy latte with latte art plus a yummy cardamom bun! Will definitely be back!“

“Caffeine and a geekiness, a marriage made a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. Super friendly staff, outstanding coffee, yummy baked goods and some awesome and rare sci fi treasures displayed around the cafe. The Eagle 1 from Space 1999 is museum worthy Sláinte!!!“

“They no longer appear to be doing their food menu, which is a real bummer! I’m sure certain business decisions justify their choice. The food did differentiate them a bit, and while it is still a bit beyond “just another coffee shop” the loss of food still stings in a town with already limited quick bite casual options.“

“Great Vibe! Delicious food and coffee!“

“This place is incredible!! I love the atmosphere and the kindness everyone has shown there! Soo excited to get donuts this morning!!“

“This is my favorite Boba place in New Cannan. They serve organic slushes , fruit smoothies and tasty boba milk and teas that are out of this world!

“Wonderful place to spend an hour or so on a Sunday morning in particularl, or any other time you’re in the area. Cozy, inviting atmosphere with good food (sandwiches, snacks and pastries) and coffee made on site by talented staff; premium local goods are also available for purchase. Our experience was enhanced by a delightful musician. Not to be missed any time.“

“I am a simple iced coffee person with half and half but I have to say this is the nicest Starbucks I’ve been to in a while, they’re so nice and pleasant always, especially when Tyler is working, he’s the nicest shift supervisor and every time I go in and he’s working everyone seems so nice! Has become my go to Starbucks lately.“

“This Dunkin has the BEST glaze donuts out of all the northeastern Dunkins I've visited throughout the years.

I don't go to Dunkin for coffee --- but I do go for donuts.

I live in Waterbury, but whenever I'm in Danbury or traveling to NYC, I must stop here and get 3-4 glaze donuts.

Never disappointed. Their donuts make me happy. :-)“

“We have had delicious food on multiple occasions at Jay Street Bistro. My friend has Celiac disease-which means she can’t have gluten. We have been able to have lunch there on several occasions. Ed (manager/waiter) was very attentive and super nice, friendly and helpful in making sure we got the correct food. All of the staff we interacted with was very nice.
Things were so delicious that I brought my husband and grandson back for breakfast the following day.

Dietary restrictions: Multiple choices for someone who has Celiac/Gluten issues.

Kid-friendliness: Good ambience and staff for families! Good food choices too.“

“Love this place! What a great set up, great coffee, food and management.“

“All I can say is wow!!! This place has it all. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner they have something my heart desires. I highly recommend coming in for any craving you have at any time of the day. Service is amazing! Run by an Italian family that knows the way to your heart. Whether it’s coffee or wine, croissants, cannolis, paninis or pasta !!!! You need to try it out“

“💯 recommend! Amazing food and drinks!!“

“These donuts are not just huge in size but also in flavor. The coffee selection is also on point, whether you want just a regular joe or are looking for something a little more specialized. We will definitely make this a regular stop whenever passing through Danbury“

“The card machine in these vending machines don't work. They take your money and don't give you a snack! I've contacted the company. I will change my review if I am satisfied with their response and how they handle the situation.

EDIT: The issue was resolved and a refund has been issued. Changing my rating from one star to four“

“The bagels are great, so is the coffee. I'm partial to the Colombian blend. It's very good. The people are very friendly. The service is quick and easy. The pastries are also pretty good as well. Solid place, my go-to for morning breakfast before work.“

“Just an FYI for those who don’t realise (like me ?)that WFM=Whole Foods marketplace! The coffee and hot cocoa here was quite good and reasonably priced and the employee manning the cafe today was very nice and personable. I would definitely come back!“

“Welcoming atmosphere and the food is amazing, service really good! Will be my new favorite breakfast place!“

“My son and I stopped in after the article in the newspaper. We have to say, you have the best donuts in Connecticut! We live in Watertown but will definitely make another trip down to Wilton or your new Bethel location, when it opens. Your staff is fantastic! All the customers coming in were regulars. That’s how you know you found a gem of a place!“

“Service and staff are great, but the floor is dirty and needs cleaning!“

“The avocado toast is the best around (IMO) and the shaved brussels sprout/quinoa salad is pretty amazing too. Haven't tried anything I haven't liked, to be honest. Also a great go-to for a hostess gift.“

“I looked for the comments before coming and when I decided to come, everything was good, the attention 10/10 - food 10/10 - place 10/10 I asked for my drink and the cashier's colleague listened to it and in less than... 30 seconds? It was ready and good....regarding the reviews in line and when he gets to the checkout he thinks what to eat) 2 they are not robots!! no flash!! If you have an order, they will give it to you in the order of the order queue.-3 The conditions of the rein deteriorate over time, maybe there is not much budget (but why take photos of all the old parts? Is everything fine at home? )-4 complain about the "rude" or "ignorant" attention but you get up and go to your office while they have been there for hours and with PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY HAVE TO GIVE THEM THINGS 3 SECONDS AFTER ORDERING !!! -4 It is not the worker's fault if they make a mistake WHEN YOU CHANGE THE ORDER MORE THAN 3 TIMES BECAUSE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU OR YOUR FRIENDS WANT. -5 You get angry because your order takes a long time... well that happens when you SEE A BUSY STORE AND STILL ORDER MORE THAN 6 THINGS!! -6 Why do you only say when ordering "medium coffee" or any size? They literally have many ways to prepare coffee and you expect them to guess what you want without saying just that? When you were little you hit your head a lot, right? -6 Speak clearly, the cashier is not a lip reader to understand you with a low voice!!!-7If you want to talk, call your partner or a friend BUT DON'T BE ANGRY BECAUSE THE CASHIER FOCUSES ON HIS JOB AND HE DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU!!!!--8why do some flirt with younger workers? ☠️ .-9 You don't like the prices? Perfect!!! Contact the owner of the company himself and give him proposals to lower them BUT THE WORKERS ARE NOT TO BLAME!!! (imagine being that person who can't pay 10-20 dollars of your own money ahahahaha)-10 can you tell your children to stop messing up what the workers tidy up and clean?...please-11 if the workers don't clean some parts...isn't it because they are busy making large orders or lots of them?...I'm just saying in case you didn't notice.-12 If I were you I wouldn't fight that worker...(that guy seems like a hit sends you to sleep)-13 if you notice something instead of writing it here or talking about it in a place other than the store you criticize... well, I think it would be better to inform the workers of what they neglect... right? -13 The fact that they are not Americans does not mean that you have to treat them badly...mentally retarded. conclusion: store 10/10 -some customers 0/10 improve yourself subnormal.“

“OMG forgot how good store-made bagels can be. Thank you Greg from Brewster JV Bagels! Your kindness and baked goods are amazing and much appreciated.“

“very good pastry and friendly people.“

“I have been coming here for the past 3 years at least 3 times a week. One of the main reasons I keep coming back is because a lady with the name Karmela is nothing but amazing.Super sweet and kind. She does an amazing job taking care of customers.“

“We had an incredible experience tonight when ordering Take-out from Kibberia for the first time. We wanted to try a few items so I put my order in through Grubhub and got a call 5 minutes later from Matthew at Kibberia to tell me how awesome my order was and to thank me for choosing their restaurant. They sent a handwritten note with my order and even sent me an extra item to try. The food was an 11/10… phenomenal!definitely get the Lamb shwarma wrap, garlic chicken flatbread and some baklava for dessert! Thanks again for the great food and even better customer service.“

“I primarily visit this particular Dunkin at night because of 1 employee...He is the ONLY ONE WHO PAYS ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU ASK FOR. He may not always be the friendliest, but he's really great at his job. SEFI is the only reason I come to this Dunkin at night. Great employee...I hope management treats him very well. He's golden!!! Way to go SEFI!“

“Destiny is an amazing kind person who is always working hard for her customers. I always look forward to find her whenever I visit this Dunkin. I hope to see her as a manager because she definitely deserves it. Her service is amazing and she even memorized my extremely hard order.“
