The pastries are just incredible - I recommend the blueberry scone, cheddar and bacon (or chive) biscuit, the pistachio caramel scone, any of the seasonal fruit items and the monkey bread. The menu is extensive, everything is very fresh and you can tell they use high quality ingredients. My go-to is the California breakfast sandwich... customize it with multigrain bread, add bacon and arugula for the best breakfast sandwich in CT! This morning I grabbed a Cobb salad for lunch from the grab-n-go fridge - a welcome new addition. Don't miss this place.

The Grey Goat is a great addition to Branford. While it may look small from the outside, it is…read morepacked full of home decor, jewelry, candles, deserts, wine, coffee and more! As soon as you walk through the door, you are greeted by the owner Jonathan. He is friendly and kind and genuinely cares about his customers. Additionally, each week there is a new menu that always includes one type of soup, salad, sandwich and desert. I have enjoyed everything I've tried from the menu with the most recently being the eggplant wrap and Cuban quesadilla. I definitely recommend stopping in and supporting this small business and owner! You won't be disappointed.

Have been a customer at least 4 times. Recently brought my best friend from NY. Owner didn't know who I was ( understandable) many people frequent the store. But I was mortified in front of my friend when the owner admitted to not knowing who I was, then when I explained, I was quickly dismissed. Guess it's true what they say, middle aged woman are invisible. Word to the wise ( or in this case, the shop owner...) FAKE IT. when I customer frequently visits your place of business make them feel good, remembered or at least like a human being.

Perkatory has become my favorite coffee shop. All the employees are fantastic and I cnat think of enough positive adjectives to descibe them

Our waitress and her mom were running the place which has about 8-10 tables and is pretty non-descript from the outside. The iced tea was good, my eggs were great. The pancakes were thin and more crepe like not fluffy pancakes. Everything is served on wax paper on paper plates. Ambiance is a bit meh. Syrup is not real maple syrup, corn syrup thick not so tasty. Potatoes not crispy but still tasty.

However, what I received was 90% bread and lettuce with only 10% protein and cheese. Why the ridiculously lean portions??!! Feeling like I was ripped off by Cilantro.

Note: the counter staff that took my order were perfectly pleasant, the sandwich-maker on the other hand appeared visibly distressed by having to work.

I originally planned to sit at the bar since I was dining solo, but it was packed for happy hour (always a good sign). I ended up in the dining room instead, and honestly, it worked out great. Service was quick and attentive from the start. My server, Christina, checked in on me several times without being overbearing, and I really appreciated how often my water was refilled especially since I skipped alcohol this visit. For food, I went all in: a dozen oysters, bang bang shrimp bao buns, and salmon sushi rolls. I finished with the crème brûlée cheesecake (which I already knew I loved from their sister restaurant). Standouts for me were the oysters, the bao buns, and that cheesecake absolutely delicious. The sushi rolls were fresh and flavorful, just a bit oversized for that perfect bite. Overall, a great experience with solid food and attentive service. I'll definitely be back maybe next time I'll snag a bar seat!
