One of the best chai lattes I’ve ever had

I waited over an hour for a sandwich to be completed. Three staff were chit chatting in the front but none could actually go and make my sandwich. I was told the “kitchen was backed up”. The third time I came back to check on my order status I was met with such derision and disdain I cancelled my order.

Great local coffee shop - the team are always friendly and fast. There’s a great atmosphere in here, but still space to sit down and enjoy a coffee and sandwich!

Great bakery. No official parking but i was able to find some on a Sunday morning. Lots of mouth watering baked goods and great coffee.

Everything here is delicious! It is a good place to have a coffee and enjoy a cinnamon roll at any time of the day.

The sausage-egg-biscuit and bacon-egg-croissant are the best breakfast sandwich options in all of Wallingford! Just be aware that they stop serving made-to-order food at noon (only pastries, bread/etc., and coffee/etc. afterwards).Their coffee was decent before but recently it's gotten even better! Diva Espresso is still my fave in the region, but GCB and Chocolati are now close seconds.

This was my wife and I's favorite place to go when we were still living in Wallingford. It still is. Super glad to visit again after being back in town for the holidays.

Had their merrionberry jammer. Jam was really good, outside biscuit a little toothsome. Lots of seating and places to work with your laptop if you want. Great selection of breads.

Owner needs to hire private security. Homeless guy walked around for a few minutes like he had no worries and then robbed the tip jar and told the customer who spoke up to “f” off. I understand the cops are useless here but you can and should hire private security to protect your business, employees and customers.Sandwiches also took way too long for this style place with nowhere to sit while we wait — over 20 minutes.

The coffee was average and the iced chai was way too milky. Service was great but they didn't have a way to warm up the ham and Swiss croissant which kind of took away from the taste. The brioche cinnamon roll was amazing and super soft. I would recommend trying their pastries but not so much the sandwiches or drinks.

Although I'm still upset they discontinued the latte dunkers which were only the most delicious, addictive thing they ever made, this location is really nice and cozy, friendly staff, and the pecan pull-aparts and little quiches are worth the trip. Also of note, the Como loaf is the best loaf of bread in the city.

I come to Grand Central every Sunday to have coffee, breakfast sandwich and get work done. Free coffee refills when you dine in, and friendly service with Wi-Fi. I love coming here. I don't give it 5 stars due to not loving their baked goods (minus the bread of course).

It's a great spot for sandwiches and a quick coffee. I like how they bake the breads here. Better to get the bigger breads instead of small pastries if that makes sense. I love love love their challah. It looks like their wheat bread loads are awesome too. I haven't got a chance to try their daily soups but will be back again soon. Coffee is alright, you are here for the big breads and sandwiches. Cute place, good service.
