We affectionately termed these "discount meat nights." The Cafe's $10 burger and fries on Monday nights is easily the best Discount Meat Night deal around in 2026. Don't get me wrong, I still love High Hope's $20 smash burger and beer on Wednesdays, but The Cafe's killer au poivre burger and fries for $10 is just a monster deal. The cost-taste ratio is off the charts. It was tough to get a good picture of the burger in the vibey bar room, but check out their Instagram for some drool worthy shots: @thecaferi

Took a while to arrive. The pork belly was exquisitely rendered with beautifully charred skin and tender meat. Lobster roll served warm was very good, the lobster was a little overcooked but still a highlight. Buttermilk Fried Chicken had super crisp skin and was executed and presented perfectly, great tasting together with the accompanied pickled vegetables and hot-honey butter. The best dish of the night. Sticky toffee pudding was as good as advertised: sticky, textured, with interesting mouthfeel offset by lightly whipped cream. Tequila based El Mariachi was tasty and balanced but not memorable.

Creamy and balanced, I was tempted to get another! We ordered the California Burrito and Big 55 sandwich. The jalapeño aioli paired with the carne asada on the burrito was unreal. Better than they make in Cali! Big 55 was everything you could want in a classic breakfast sandwich with sausage and bacon on a soft ciabatta with chipotle aioli. Last note - the guys behind the counter were so friendly, greeting everyone coming through the door! I swear they knew everyone, and introduced themselves if they didn't. Such a cool environment for a cafe in a place that doesn't always seem "local" based on tourism.

Sat down to eat at the table inside which is connected to the larger gift shop. 3 minutes after paying and eating, an employee at the counter called out "Just so you guys know we are closed!".

Plus the puppy picture name wall was adorable and they name meals after them! Our server was nice and the menu had interesting choices, but sadly they sounded better than what they were. - the scramble was not that great...overdone eggs and I'm not a fan of slapping a square piece of cheese on eggs. I think shredded cheddar would have been a better choice and the crumbly-sausage was an odd choice for breakfast sausage - I was excited they had hash browns but they were premade with garlic powder and came out mushy. They left a lingering weird garlic flavor - turkey sandwich had real turkey breast which was great but it was too hot and made the sandwich soggy - burrito was good but the homefries were burnt beyond repair Lots of parking on the side and front area

The line was egregiously long, all…read morethe way through their parking, since everyone I'm sure had the same idea on a nice summer day! We were in line over an hour! It moved pretty slow. Online orders were also closed that morning so we had to wait. The staff itself were very friendly once we were inside, but oddly enough, I found some of the other customers to be rude. Maybe they needed their morning coffee. The location itself was beautiful outside, so many little places to sit and enjoy food. There was live music as well. The food was ok! I got the coffee milk iced latte as I've never had coffee milk, and it was quite sweet, but that's what it's supposed to be. I felt like I had way more ice than expected, because my drink was done with just maybe 5 sips? I think next time I'd definitely get the larger size of coffee, the price difference is minimal but the size difference was huge. The bacon egg and cheese on the English muffin was good. Good quality, just a little dry. You can pay extra for sauces, which if I go again I would do. I'm not sure if I'd go again because if I'm in the area, I'd like to try some other places out too. The line took so long in the summer, I'm not sure how convenient it would be for me if there is no online ordering available, and if I have to modify menu items.

I was in Mystic on New Year's Eve morning, killing time in between food activities, when I saw…read morePasta Fresca & Piadina in a Yelp search result. Its grinders looked damn good. Since Pasta was in the name, I figured it might be more of a market than a grinder shop and I decided to visit. It was actually more of a grinder shop that sold some fresh pasta and sauces and things that you would expect a grinder shop to have. I honestly thought about walking out without buying anything, but I kept thinking about that awesome looking Italian Trio (basically like an Italian Combo) grinder. I decided to order a small, take some pics and a couple of bites, and save the rest for later since I had lunch plans. This grinder was my ideal Italian Combo. First off, the small was huge. Full size at most places. I ate it over the course of two days. I ordered it with lettuce, tomato, banana peppers, cucumbers, provolone, Oil and Vinegar, Salt and Pepper, and Mayo. The three meats were pepperoni, Genoa salami and capicola. The bread was good, fresh and up to the job of holding the ingredients. There were about six slices of meats, but they folded them around the inside of the bun (cut on one side) so you were really getting about 12 layers in each bite. And the inside was stuffed with the veggies and other toppings. So stuffed that the toppings fell out as you were taking bites. But that was actually great from my perspective, because you could just pick up the fallen toppings and put them exactly where you were going to bite next. I've been to a lot of highly rated grinder shops in CT. I don't think I've had a better Italian combo. The ingredients were all great. It was a well constructed sandwich. You got bits and pieces of most of the stuff in each bite. Ingredients were in the right proportion. It was salty. Acidic. Juicy. Great contrasting textures. This was a text book Italian Combo Grinder. Now if you live near Mystic, getting a grinder from Pasta Fresca is a no brainer because you can take it home. If you're not from the Mystic area, there was a bit of seating. Seating may be hit or miss though. In any event, if you can figure out where you're going to eat the Italian Trio, you're going to love it. Can't believe I've never heard of this place. 5 Stars
