Middlebury finally has a nice coffee shop! From a cozy space that celebrates local art, to their…read morepartnerships with Ami's, the bakery of Southbury, and a local coffee roaster, we love the sense of community that this shop has already built in the one month they've been here. They have fun weekly and monthly specials, and we appreciate that they offer discounts for military and first responders. Everyone was incredibly kind here, and we wish them so much success!

I like my coffee sweet, so the self-service bar was perfect for customizing. Somewhere they say this is the #1 coffee in the state... I'm not so sure. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but you can tell it has a loyal crowd!

All about the vibes in here, the place is filled with CT memorabilia and Naugatuck HS year books…read morewhich was super cool to see esp since I have many friends that went there. The interior is modern rustic with a twist of bohemian indie style. There are so many things to look at and be entertained by. The seating options are great and comfy. The service was quick, sweet, spunky, and helpful. I got a frozen matcha with the suggested cheesecake blackberry flavor via the barista and it didn't disappoint. I haven't tried any of their readily available pastries in their display case but I know I will one day. My matcha was around nine dollars, which is what I'd expect from a privately locally owned place like this. Worth it though, esp if you're hanging out for awhile and like great quality. I can see myself coming back one morning and hanging out with someone here. Also, HUGE fan of punk rock so blink 182 in the background is making me stay here until I have to go to my eye doctor appointment around the corner. I feel totally in my element. I'll be back, thanks loaded goat !

Finally tried this place after years of seeing it in my town. Blew my tastebuds away! I haven't had…read moregood lamb in a while and this place reminded me what lamb should taste like. Falafel was also really good. I had both on top of my rice with white sauce and the combination was perfect. Salad was really fresh no bad veggies or weepy greens. Came with dressing. Pita was a little too black for me but nevertheless I didn't really mind because it was good. The hummus is different from the hummus in used to eating/making but I didn't mind it at all! The service was also really great, the lady working (who gave me my food) was very nice and made small talk with me. Not a sit down, place only take out, but inside looks really cool. I would definitely recommend this place 9/10!!!

Wanted to try something new and I keep seeing this restaurant on grubhub but I'm always scared to…read moretry new places not in person. Well let me tell you this place exceeded my expectations. After ordering I realized I didn't ask for the sauce on the side, I was beyond impressed by the presentation when it arrived as all the sauces were on the side as well as the chicken so that my salad didn't get soggy. Everything was neatly packed. The chicken was juicy and flavorful and seasoned but not too salty. The salad was beautiful fresh spring mix blend, and it came with a homemade lemony vinaigrette. I got a side of falafel and they were cooked to perfection, well seasoned. The humus was actually better than mine and I'm Middle Eastern. It came with warm pita bread that had a light char on it and really added a depth of flavor. My only regret is I didn't order one for leftovers tomorrow! Good portions for the price. if you're checking out reviews because you're skeptical like me give them a try you definitely won't be disappointed!

We stopped by this Starbucks around 6:30 a.m. to grab some early morning drinks. Although the…read moreselection was a bit limited, and they didn't have the exact green tea I wanted, I'm still giving this location a 5-star rating--and here's why. I ordered a solo long shot, which is often a bit tricky to explain at most Starbucks locations. Typically, I find myself having to explain what a long shot is, but not this time. Leah, one of the baristas, immediately knew what I wanted. Before the person taking my order could even ask for clarification, Leah stepped in with, "You want a long shot?" That was music to my ears! Not only did Leah understand my request perfectly, but she also made the best long shot I've ever had. The attention to detail and the seamless service really made this visit stand out. It's not every day that you find a barista who knows exactly what you're asking for and delivers it with such expertise. Cheers!

Ayla's is open late! This made me so happy, I could try them without having to rush like crazy or…read moretake time off of work (thank you, places with limited availability). They had bagels, pastries, and of course sandwiches to order. I got a bag of bagels to go, and in the days following were delicious! The last one was four days after my visit and was as fresh and the one the day after. The sandwich I had at Aylas, and had the best meat I've had in a while. No muscle or fat, just good flavor. I highly recommend having them toasted for all parts to mix together. The decor, including the mural, is whimsical and fun! They're currently working on a bit of sidewalk outside, but doesn't impact access.

Ayla's has some nice decor all over to keep you busy for a bit. Ayla's also has a nice flow. Order at the left and pick up at the right. The food was delicious and a good portion. My husband had a chicken cesar wrap on a wheat wrap. I had a tuna melt on rye with cheddar cheese. Tomato was an option but Im not a fan so I did no tomato. I love that they have drink specials. Sometimes You feel like something besides a mocha or regular coffee but you're not sure, what? Ayla's offers seven spring drink specials. Looking forward to visiting Ayla's again.

This wasn't what gave it two stars. I'm very disappointed that when it says Philly cheesesteak omelette that it isn't steak but it's actually just ground beef.
