I found the imported and homeland cheese selection to be quite extensive. All of my favorites plus plus plus. Carson served me as I chose a few different cheese, bread and meat items with tastes along the way. I also met Christine who is the shop owner and had a great exchange with her. The store was well stocked with specialty foods, gift items and lots of holiday paper napkins. I went in for cheese knives and found a nice selection to choose from. There were still lots of table/kitchen/dining items even though it was right after we rang in the new year. I definitely be back for more!

I have…read moretried several different varieties of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffees, some organic and some not organic and found them all quite smooth, even bodied and delicious. I have also tried their breads, homemade cookies and chocolates and have been extremely happy with the quality, freshness and taste. The whole store is stocked full with edible and gift goodies. This place is a real find and worth the trip. I try to make a stop about once a month when I am visiting the area.

The smoothies, juices, and prepared foods are tucked away in the back and betting not as many people know about it, that should, if into healthy food. The other items looked just as delicious. I would highly recommend Food Works in Old Saybrook for a fairly priced, organic, satisfying smoothie.

I absolutely ADORE this local hometown independent grocer for 4 reasons:…read more 1) The QUALITY of ALL their items is TOP NOTCH. The meats, seafood, deli items including salads, sandwiches, soups, prepared lunches, dinners, as well as bakery items, produce, and prepared frozen items are ALL HOMEMADE & DELISH! They also stock a fantastic selection of well known dry, refrigerated and frozen groceries! 2) The prices are extremely reasonable. 3) The staff are genuine, kind, helpful & efficient. 4) ITS NOT a hoity-toity exorbitant boutique grocer.

I am completely HOOKED on this place! I have had their grinders which are fantastic. Their croissants, cookies, soups, prepared dinners which are also fabulous! The portions are generous & the prices are very reasonable! Walt's is TRULY is a GEM in the local COMMUNITY! We are INCREDIBLY FORTUNATE to have this fantastic independent grocer in the area!

We did have a special buffalo chicken taco, which was fabulous!! It was our first time at Sayulita since giving up alcohol, and I was definitely missing their margaritas.

The restaurant is about double the size of the Glastonbury location, so check it out if you want the best tacos without the long wait!!

Fortunately, we were seated quickly. Service was excellent, and the vibrant, modern atmosphere felt trendy yet comfortable. Noise levels were pretty manageable, even as the dining room filled up. I had the buttermilk fried chicken taco, which had great texture and crunch--just a touch more seasoning would've really made it shine. The pork belly taco was melt-in-your-mouth tender with rich flavor, though the celery and apple slaw on top didn't quite hold up--it looked great but lacked the apple part and was dry. Next time, I think I'd try one of the other interesting tacos instead. For my main dish, I had the cilantro pesto chicken burrito with rice and beans--delicious, generously filled, and perfectly seasoned. My girlfriend had the mushroom enchiladas, which were hearty and earthy, though a bit more seasoning could have brought out the full potential of the dish, as it seemed like it was just unseasoned mushrooms in a tortilla. Overall, Sayulita remains a solid choice with consistently good food, friendly service, and a lively vibe. A reservation option would make it even better--but until then, arriving early is the way to go!
