Sadly they were out of the Cacio Pepe bagel but I would 100% come back for it. SERVICE: 10 stars out of 5. The people here are super super nice! AMBIANCE: Some outdoor seating. Cute. BATHROOM: Clean with lots of toilet paper! Quite hilarious, actually.

I tried this place after seeing it all over instagram. The cinnamon raisin bagel was dense and…read morelacked much flavor (or raisins). Sliced and served with a side of cream cheese. The croissant was very good (not pictured) and there were many other breads and pastries to choose from. The line here is practically out the door every weekend. They're only open on weekends. That being said, I encourage everyone to try this local small business and follow them on instagram because they have so many different things to try each week.

I don't know about you guys but when I ask for scrambled egg, well done, with bacon on a bagel, I…read moreexpect to get a scrambled egg, not a fried egg. I even said it a second time because she told the cook "bacon and egg" and I said scrambled. When I returned it, instantly, she said "but that's how we make our eggs" I said well that's something you should tell people when they specifically ask for scrambled and not fried. The sandwich wasn't messy like this. I just opened it up for the photo. Never coming here again.

Stopped in the morning of the New Haven Road Race. This is one of the better run Bruegger's Bagels…read moreI have ever visited. Not only was the dining room clean and well run, but also my bagel was delicious! I had the tomato avocado bagel, but I chose to have it without bacon. It came with both a fresh slice of tomato and a zesty tomato paste that really made the sandwich! There is ample parking in the area. And I was shocked by how clean the bathroom was!

This was some good coffee!…read more This was our first stop off the train from NYC. We needed a pick me up and energy for that infamous food crawl we were about to get into. So thankful it was in the quiet and quaint neighborhood of New Haven. Such a beautiful area. Very close to all the spots I had bookmarked. Cool coffee shop I gotta say. Spacious and clean. Just the actual vibe alone was relaxing. This is one of those locations where you can actually come sit and not be bothered. Few people inside were working on their laptops, some were just conversing with their friends. The barista was super friendly and worked fast. One thing I noticed and was wowed on was they serve wine as well. I mean how cool is that. Felt like I was at France for a minute, where the cafes serve coffee, tea and qwasonts during the day, and cocktails at night. Very chill. Can't thank them enough for how clean the bathroom was as well. All in all great coffee and service.

Not a lot of favor and no sweet at all which I thought that was interesting. The server did over to add more honey but I opted out because I was in a rush. They seemed business though. A lot of people inside on a winter day doing work. Maybe try a coffee , but they're no Latte Pedaler, at least to me.

My friend and I stopped by this deli on our way home to NYC. When we arrived there were a few…read morecustomers in the store sitting down and some online. The deli/restaurant was fairly large and spacious. They sell a variety of cold cuts, sandwiches, soups, salads, meal platters, baked goods and lots of other items. The staff were friendly and worked fast to keep the line moving. My friend ordered the roast beef hero that was jus okay to me. I would've preferred the pastrami. However, I ordered a small turkey chili with grated cheese on top (Ground Turkey, Kidney Beans, White Onion, and Jalapeños Simmered with Chili Powder and Other Secret Spices). I waited until I got home and slaughtered that chili. OMG, it was so flavorful and hearty. Of course, I was upset I didn't get a large. The chili came with some small crackers. I also purchased some macaroons and they were very yummy. I would definitely check this place out again and check out some other menu items.

Driving north from NY back to Windsor Locks, it's a toss up whether I stop at Katz's or the…read moreCromwell Diner. Yesterday, the coin came up tails, so Katz it was. Lunchtime so I ordered a corned beef on rye and French fries w brown gravy. Plus a Dr. Brown's diet cream soda. Service was nonpareil. No sooner does one sit before a dish of pickles and cole slaw appears. Everything else came quickly, too. The corned beef was piled high, so high I had to eat some with a fork. The only topping needed was Beaver deli mustard (no tomato or lettuce needed). Fries nice and crispy, gravy comforting. Service great, food as good as NYC delis, price in line w other delis / restaurants. 5 delicious stars. Who knows what the coin flip will be next time. Either way, you can't go wrong.
