We came in on a Saturday and a lot of regulars were chatting up the staff. We got to hear the owner chatting with someone about the ins and outs of gluten free baking, nutrition, and celiac. He knew a lot about all of these and it showed in the quality of the product. We got a dozen cheese breads and I had an egg and cheese sandwich. So good and fresh! The bread was Brazilian style and served to us warm. The sandwich was served on a similar style of bread and it was delicious. We paid $30ish for a dozen pieces of bread, 2 sandwiches, and a dulce de leche roll. Super reasonable! Totally love this place and will come by if passing through again!

Walking into the restaurant, you get hit right away with all these delicious homemade pastries. You almost just want to skip right to dessert. Even though it was very busy, we were seated pretty quick. The vibe and decor was very cool. Even had a Led Zeppelin poster on the wall. The best dishes we tried were the Red Hot Mama burrito. The short ribs were easily the star, but loved the pairing with sweet potato and Gouda. Even has its own sauce. Also try the cheese waffle (their take on Brazilian cheese bread). So unique. The French toast wasn't the favorite. The crust of the brioche was a little over done, but the inside was good, especially with the strawberries. The waffles were very good. Light and fluffy. I do have to say that I wished they offered a soda option. It isn't a deal breaker, but it is something I like. Definitely recommend giving them a try!

Everyone seems to use pretty much the same recipe with some slight variations. The muffins I had here were weird. I don't know what that dominant spice they used is but it was really kind of awful. Weird is just the only word I can think of to describe it. And the muffin was not dense at all. It kind of fell apart when you bit into it. I took a "sour cherry" pastry home snd it was ok. The apricot scone was bleh. I think this place will be a skip in the future.

Nick's is a small takeout bagel shop. I ordered a sesame bagel and a container of veggie cream cheese for later. The bagel was decent but didn't really stand out. It was on the chewy side. The veggie cream cheese felt a bit phoned in. There were tiny specks of veggies, but not enough to add flavor or texture. I suspect Nick's is one of the better bagel shops in Litchfield County. It just doesn't compare to NYC's Bagels. 3.25 Stars

I seem to keep ordering something on their Special board on the sidewalk (usually for lunch), and this morning had one of their amazing breakfast dishes. All fair and reasonably priced and served quite quickly. Per the recommendation of another poster here, I've been ordering their coffee with a 'heavy' shot of mocha which has greatly improved my enjoyment of such. They offer the mocha as a syrup or powder. I actually tried two baked items (sweets) today which other than being pricey (IMO), were in-fact very good and I'm going to 'assume' home-made. When I arrived it was nice and quiet but by the time I left it was semi-full of yentas and their obnoxious kids so took my baked goods and split (small very loud space!)!
