The staff was so friendly and helpful, and they had a good variety of bagels. I got a BEC on a Spinach Bagel and it was delicious and filling! They do not play with the bacon, there's a ton. The bagels are a little smaller in general (that's my opinion, i'm originally from NJ) but they packed a lot of flavor. I got a French Toast bagel with their house made strawberry cream cheese and it was incredible. I was really impressed. They also are making homemade turnovers, the apple one was a nice treat. will definitely come back here! please note that they are currently cash only!

DeRocco's has made the move from its longtime neighborhood home in Naugatuck to a beautiful new…read morelocation in Middlebury, and I couldn't be happier for them. The new space is bright, welcoming, and much more accessible to people who may have never discovered this hidden gem before. While I wondered if something would be lost leaving that small neighborhood setting behind, it didn't take long to realize the opposite. The owners, the staff, and the loyal customers have all brought the same warmth and sense of family with them. It still feels like home. I'll admit, though, I was crushed when I learned that Taylor Ham didn't make the move to the new menu. If you read my older reviews, that's actually what brought me through their doors in the first place. It genuinely broke my heart. But loyalty goes both ways. I love this place, so instead of dwelling on what isn't there, I'm making my way through the menu looking for a new favorite. Today I tried the Jalapeño Whopper--bacon, grilled jalapeños, and cream cheese on an everything bagel. It was really good. I discovered that warm cream cheese just isn't my thing, but that's 100% on me, not the sandwich. I also ordered the Gootz: sausage, egg, provolone, sautéed mushrooms, and cherry peppers on a garlic bagel. Outstanding. I'd order that again without hesitation. I'm going to keep working my way through the menu in hopes of finding something that fills the Taylor Ham-sized hole in my heart. And even if I never do, I'll happily keep coming back for their outstanding bagels, incredible spreads, great food, and the feeling you get every time you walk through the door. And while their coffee service is a little different with the pots behind the counter, it's still fantastic. Some places serve breakfast. DeRocco's feels like home.

The service was fairly quick however we did arrive about an hour before they closed so I wasn't expecting to see many people anyways. The store itself is very cute and much larger than expected.

New England Muffin Factory is located right in a plaza not far from highway exit. I was there…read moreright after my gym class during the week since they are open at 6am. Figured I'd take the ride and che k it out! They have so many muffin flavors, you can also get breakfast sandwiches and bagels. I didn't take pictures of all the delicious looking muffins as I was busy talking to the lady who was there attending and trying to figure out what flavor muffins to bring home. She was very sweet and helpful. I ended up buying pear with almond , Boston Cream and a gluten free blueberry muffin for myself that they keep separately in the back. It's very small inside with no tables. It's more of an order , pick up and go place. My dad loved his muffins. As I did mine. Not greasy , not dry, nor crumbly! Big sized fresh muffins! If you love muffins for breakfast give it a try! The Chocolate Boston Cream was nicely filled with Cream! I'm looking forward to going back for another GF muffin! Prices are fair! They open bright and early Monday -Friday at 6am and weekends at 7am and close early.

However, there are a few things I want to point out as to why the two stars. The display board shows make your own sandwich two meats for 995. They gave me a menu that shows one meat for 995. I was then charged 999 for only one meat. They asked what I would like for my side and gave me an option of sliced pickle or chips. I chose chips thinking that it was included and it is not included as it is a 50 cent up charge. The chips were thinly sliced bagels that had no taste to them whatsoever. Might be a play on the bagel crisps you could buy at the gas station? Skip the chips. Stick with a sandwich. But watch the pricing as. Nothing matched up. I pointed out what the board said and they just pointed to the menu.
