My go to for breakfast is The Harvest Cafe and bakery in Simsbury. My picture this time is of something I created called the build your own Benedict. One slice of house sourdough bread toasted and cut in half. On each half, goes a bit of grilled ham, then a poached egg with hollandaise and asparagus topped with bacon crumbles and scallions. Usually, I have a few slices of bacon on the side. Fantastic! I have iced coffee with my breakfast, as would any self-respecting New Englander. Come by the harvest for breakfast or lunch be a little creative even though the menu is full of things that are just outstanding. Say hello to the super manager, Mr. Scott and his crew of servers who never cease to amaze. read more

Growing up nearby, this was always my favorite sit-down breakfast spot in the area. Now that I don't live in town, I'll always stop by with my family when we are in town visiting. No reservations and plan to get here early on the weekends as the line can get long, but it's absolutely worth it! I almost always get the farmer's eggs benedict but the menu is full of delicious options. They also bake some of the most delicious breads and pastries I have ever had! You really can't go wrong. When I was in last they had a latke special and they subbed the hash browns in the farmer's egg benedict for the latke for me, which was a wonderful combo! My wife got the biscuits and gravy which were rich, savory, and super yummy on a delicious biscuit. The staff is super friendly and the walls are covered with cute local art creating a very cozy and friendly vibe. If you are in Simsbury or nearby and looking for breakfast, you should absolutely make a pit-stop here. read more

We have not been to Harvest bakery in many years. We are so glad to have visited for breakfast. The food was exceptional ! The service attentive but not overbearing - they do offer many coffee refills to all patrons. The open seating allows for a lot of tables - the atmosphere is great and I love that even it is busy we can still hear each other at the table. The bakery items are fantastic as well- a great variety of quiches, cakes, muffins and beautifully decorated cupcakes! We will be returning soon! Thank you for the great breakfast... read more

My brother and I went to Harvest in Simsbury for lunch this afternoon. I've had them in my Yelp search results for a while, today was my first time dining here. I wish I got the name of our waiter, but he was very funny and entertaining. At first I was a bit confused about the entrance, because, I saw people sitting right by the door. As I was looking for the entrance, our waiter popped out and said "You're not going to find any food at the Carpet Cleaners" as he held the door open, referencing to the business next door. It was very busy inside, they have some art work, which is done by local artists. The whole vibe is very homey. I got the Broccoli & Cheddar soup. As I placed my order our waiter called me "M'lady" multiple times. I also got the Broccoli Quiche. My soup arrived in a mug with two slices of their homemade bread. This soup was very delicious, hot and satisfying. It was filled with substantial pieces of broccoli. I can see it being a go to in the winter! My quiche was also very fresh, made with ricotta and broccoli, it was warm and very cheesy! My brother got the Reuben. He also enjoyed it. We had a very pleasant experience at Harvest, with the service we've received here today, I'll be looking forward to next time. read more

First time eating at Harvest Cafe & Bakery...we had been warned that this place gets crowded (understandably, it's that great) and to expect a wait. Our wait, on a Sunday morning, was about 15 minutes. No problem, we perused the menu and oogled at all of the delicious looking pastries, cookies, and breads located in the bakery section as you walk in. Once we were seated, we were quickly approached by our very nice waitress and brought coffee, hot tea, and water. I ordered the Evelyn (I think it was called), and had 2 eggs sunny side up, a bagel with butter & cream cheese, and homemade corned beef hash. The corned beef hash was very tasty, tender, but not mushy, with a little bit of crispness on the sides. It was phenomenal! My husband had 2 scrambled eggs, home fries, and whole wheat bread. I tried a bite of his bread, and it was delicious. Service was wonderful! We both agreed that this is the very best restaurant for breakfast that we have ever eaten at! We will definitely be back, to try lunch, next time. read more

What a delightful place!! I and a friend went there for breakfast recently. I had not been there previously- the food was delicious- I had a special breakfast scramble. Service was very friendly, quick and attentive. Plus there were great paintings on the wall that made the ambiance special. Additionally, there is a delicious looking assortment of pastries, cupcakes and pies offered for sale. Looking forward to going back! read more

I go here whenever I can because the food especially breads are so good. Freshly made in house. Staff is so friendly always smiling. A comfortable place with interesting art. read more

Everything...wish they offered dinner. REUBEN WAS THE BEST IN Connecticut IN my opinion. Great location...nice people.

Went to Harvest on a Sunday morning and get there when there was no wait for a table. We were attended to right away by Amanda (who was terrific!) and we ordered a variety of breakfast items (omelette, French toast et al). All were very good and my only criticism would be that it took too long to get served. I couldn't tell if the food was ready awaiting a server or that there was a delay in the preparation. Either way, the food far out weighed the lengthy wait - go there! read more

This is a wonderful breakfast and lunch family oriented restaurant. The bakery items are not only delicious they are beautiful to look at. You have to be prepared to wait to be seated. So be patient. The staff Is attentive and happy to talk and make your experience memorable. Coffee is hot and plentiful. The menu is classic, contemporary and festive. Make sure you look at all the seasonal specials. Great choices for vegan and vegetarian customers as well as plenty of gluten free items. They have a lemon crepes on the menu. It comes with four crepes. Since I didn't want it for my entree I asked if I could just have one. They were happy to accommodate. It was so good. Better than any crepes in Paris. So good. The potatoes have a very tasty spice to them. Almost Cajun but not spicy. They were very good. All of our entrees were delicious and very satisfying. Healthy, good clean food. You will love it. Check out the pictures. read more

We have been to harvest Café before, and my wife and I were in the area so we decided to drop by on Friday morning. We were one of a few tables sat, but by the time we left, every table is filled. we sat and we greeted right away with ice water and coffee... Which was served almost continuously. My wife had eggs Benedict and I had a scramble with Gorgonzola bacon and caramelized onion. Both were delicious. Will be back again! read more

I've always heard such great things about Harvest Cafe, so my brunch buddy and I decided it was time to visit. I was worried about a long wait for a table, but we were seated right away inside--no trouble there. The cafe is loud. As someone who is neurodivergent, I struggled with how loud it was. I eventually put in my ear plugs to dampen it so I could enjoy the conversation with my friend, and that helped--just fair warning to others who struggle like that. Service was decent. We were offered coffee multiple times and never waited long for anything. The food was fabulous. I had the peach melba French toast special, made from pound cake. It was divine. My friend had the croissant French toast. And we both ordered sides--she the bacon, and I got the home fries. It was all prepared well and tasted great. I really enjoyed my visit overall and would recommend. read more

Absolutely delicious breakfast: got 2 eggs over easy, turkey sausage, and breakfast potato. Opted for the muffin, pumpkin apple, and our waitress suggested it grilled. Wow, the best muffin I've ever had, truly! We saw some of the other meals being served (like the French toast) and it made me wish I had room for more lol! I will be thinking about the muffin long after I leave Connecticut thanks for the lovely meal and great service! read more

Good breakfast food and great table service.We had about 16 people and all of us were pleased with our meals. We will definitely be back!

They've still got it! After decades of coming to this restaurant, our family has come to enjoy it primarily as a lovely reward after a bike ride on the Farmington Canal Heritage trail. The Hopmeadow Breakfast with the cinnamon swirl bread is the perfect balance of salty and sweet. The breakfast potatoes are outstanding because of their seasoning. The service feels very homey and friendly as always. And despite it always being busy, the food flies out quickly. On this occasion, we loved the seasonal pumpkin cinnamon swirl bread that we took a loaf home to share with the family. read more

Two stars because my previous take out experiences were just fine and the food was good. Zero stars for today's visit for lunch. It was busy, all tables full. Hostess was pleasant, let me know it would be a few minutes to clear a table. I was seated promptly, and the hostess and server had a brief communication, she knew I was there. As I was waiting, I could see they were short staffed, I only saw the one server, and the hostess seemed to be doubling as a food runner. It had only been a few minutes, but the server walked by my table several times without a glance in my direction. As the server waived the couple over who had been waiting behind me, I thought "she'll be coming over here next". Nope. She sat them, brought them waters and proceeded to have a conversation. It was only 5 minutes, but in those 5 minutes I felt invisible, and after seeing what unfolded, I felt deliberately ignored. I walked out, I doubt anyone noticed. It's a shame, the food is good yet not so good I'll ever visit again. read more

Place is unassuming stuck in the middle of a strip mall. Nothing fancy, minimal decor with local artists paintings adorned on the walls. Service was a bit slow but that's because the place was packed, expect to wait on weekends. I don't recommend the coffee or the lattes, they were watery at best but now let's get to the good stuff... food is fantastic!!! Corn beef hash with hollandaise is perfection, eggs Benedict is amazing - I think it's definitely the hollandaise that elevates these dishes. I would definitely bathe in that stuff lol Lemon crepe -WOW and I'm not a lemon anything fan. This tiny hole in the wall is a definite must visit when in the area. read more

The food was good, however the potatoes were cold and coffee was watery (and 4 bucks for the coffee cup!) the staff was nice and it seemed like a nice environment, but was much more expensive than I expected read more

Came here for breakfast. It's in a strip mall type location along route 10 & 202. Was pleasantly surprised, walking in. So many delicious treats in their showcase as you walk in and give your name to be added to the list to be seated. The place was packed, so that's always a good sign. The coffee was good, they were very prompt with refills. I got the meat lovers omelet with home fries and substituted the toast for French toast. The omelette was delicious, and so packed with all the meats and cheese. The home fries tasted homemade, seasoned well and not over salted and good savory flavor. I got the French toast for a 2$ upgrade charge. It was quite amazing, made fresh from their honey white bread made in house. Light fluffy and sweet. Everything you could imagine what a good French toast would be. I loved this place and I will definitely be back! read more

Our first dining experience here, and we will be back again and again! The service is top-notch even with a big crowd. The variety of the menu is great while still staying healthy and tasty. Also...WHO MAKES THESE CAKES AND PIES?! I have yet to buy anything from the bakery case but oh boy I have a feeling this holiday it's pumpkin pie time at Harvest Cafe. Also, pop into the garden store next door after your meal. Cute stuff! I kinda want that huge metal garden owl... read more

Scott! What happened? The past three weeks the quality of the food and service has gone down to the the point that we will not be showing up for several week if not months. I will give you a breakdown if the issues. I order either two or three poached eggs, hollandaise and sausage every Sunday. My wife typically gets a scrabble, orange juice and corned beef. For the past three weeks I have gotten ice cold hollandaise, cold or luke warm porched eggs and cold sausages or all of them being room temperature. Last week was my wife's pumpkin pancakes were like very gluey and her sausages were cold. Your staff complains of being shorted staffed and it shows. So I am just letting you know that you will not be seeing us at 7:30 every Sunday for several weeks or months until we feel that it has been corrected. read more

The crepes are delicious,the bakery is amazing. Staff and service exceptional. Harvest is number 1

Delicious local breakfast spot! The waffles and pancakes are amazing! You can't go wrong with the eggs either!!

Harvest Cafe is a friendly and inviting restaurant offering unique and inventive breakfast and dinner options. On this visit they provided exceptional and friendly service, which was impressive, since they were extremely busy on a Sunday morning. They prepared a flavorful corned beef Reuben on their own made lightly toasted rye bread. The carrot cake waffle special (pictured) was very good but the price at $14 was high when taking into account it was one waffle with a small amount of toppings. The Blueberry Lemon Pudding special (pictured) was glorious but again the portion size was small and it could have used 25% more to make it a meal. In previous visits I have had their Benedicts, which never leave you disappointed. If you take the perspective of quality over quantity then this place will match expectations. On many of their offerings (mainly specials) the prices are hefty due to the smaller portion sizes but the quality is fantastic. All in all it is also a good time to visit Harvest Cafe Bakery for your breakfast and lunch needs. read more

1st Timers for breakfast this morning. We were seated right away -- that was a good sign for being around 10ish on a Sunday morning, but it was also raining pretty hard at the time too. I went with the The Bugsy French Toast off the Special's (which stated it was a carrot cake French Toast), my wife ordered the Banana Bread French Toast off the regular menu. LONG wait for the food -- noticed the table next to us, which had been seated some time after we had ordered, received their food before us. When our meals finally arrived, I was not sure why it had taken so long to prepare ? This was NOT French Toast, both breakfasts were basically CAKE. Yes, tasty & delicious cake, but it was still cake, not French Toast. Neither one was fried or dipped in egg & milk. Nonetheless, we were starving, and greedily ate what we were served. Also, for some reason, my wife's portion was twice as much as mine, she ended up bringing half of her Banana Bread home....excuse me, "Banana Bread French Toast". Bill was over $37 (before tip). We eat out for breakfast often, that's a tad on the high side, for sure. I wasn't very impressed with Harvest Cafe and Bakery, but my wife thought more of the place than I did, so I imagine we'll be back at some point in the future. Next time, I'll order an egg dish instead, although I'm fairly certain that all the bakery items are of high quality and excellent, I really felt like that's what we did have this morning, with some carrots and bananas on top, and a bit of whipped cream on the side. Sorry, you can't dress up cake and try to pass it off as French Toast with me. Service was very good, all the waitstaff were very friendly and attentive. But as of this time, I have to give Harvest Cafe and Bakery a weak 3 Star rating. read more

I absolutely love this place! Me and my husband go once a month. The food is very good! Not to mention the AMAZING baked goods. I always get the farmers Benedict and my husband swears by the crepes. (Pictured bellow) The servers always greet you with a smile and they very attentive. Seriously very friendly people that work there. It's a bit small and cozy if you like those types of places.(I adore small shops like these.) The only downfall is the coffee, although unlimited refills, it's very watery. Nothing a little creamer and sugar won't fix. They also have other drinks so no big deal. Definitely give this place a try, you won't regret. read more

I must have liked this place, as I went here 2 days/mornings in a week. My first time was on a Thursday, and their dining room was fairly filled for a weekday morning. For take out, I got their breakfast burrito (Eugene's Burrito) and the breakfast quesadilla, so that my husband and I could split both and try it. Also, to share with my husband, I got their Gabi's Famous Pumpkin Pancakes, which is currently a seasonal special. Eugene's Burrito was good, stuffed with egg, and it is on the spicy side (and I like it!) with jalapeños being one of the ingredients. The breakfast quesadilla was good as well. I loved the pumpkin pancakes (but I practically love anything pumpkin), and I didn't need syrup for them, as they were sweetened just fine for me and had candied pecans on top. For my husband, he commented that he found the pancake "cakey" or cake-like rather than fluffy. On my second trip there, 2 mornings later, we went there as a family -- my husband, 2 kids, and me. My husband got the Farmer's Benedict, whereas I got one of the breakfast specials which had chorizo sausage, bell peppers, onions, and scrambled eggs mixed together atop their home fried potatoes, and we both enjoyed our dishes. We also enjoyed our warmed up scones; my husband had a maple one, and so had a chai one. One of my sons opted for the cheeseburger, which was already a $15 burger where he got to choose the cheese and another topping (sautéed onions). However, he also wanted avocado, mushrooms, and bacon. It ended up being a $22 burger (for our 9-yr-old), which is a bit steep; granted, he ordered all these toppings on it, but the burger is not very big (in diameter), so this was quite stacked with the ordered toppings. Was it worth $22, probably not. The burger patty itself seemed perfectly cooked though, as we asked for a medium cook. Besides pictures of the menu and specials from my Thursday visit, I took photos of the baked goods on hand for that morning. read more

BEST Breakfast we've ever had !!! Can't believe we live over the state line & never been here. This is now our go to ! French toast made with homemade bread. Absolutely Incredible! (Only option I would change is the maple syrup, it's offered for $3.99 but its from California, i would offer local maple syrup) Homemade hash was very good & home fries! Service was great. Small place & the wait can be a little long but honestly it's worth it ! Highly recommend read more
