    Cute little cafe, very friendly staff. Food was great, the latte was great, and loved all the gluten free options. The owner was so friendly and kind. We loved the small town charm and how busy the cafe was with the locals.

    Love this place! Fresh local produce used in their cooking and baking. They have unique items so if you're like me and get bored easily this place is for you. Also, if you are gluten-free, vegan or whatever this place is for you. And if you love coffee, lattes, cappuccinos, chi, tea this place is for you. If you love savory this place is for you. If you love sweets this place is for you. Food and beverages are top quality! This is a petite establishment so probably not the best place for a large group. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is both in the front and back. You can place your order online or in person. You can stay or take it to go. Simple, quality, unique foods! Enjoy!

    As I scanned Meraki's online menu before driving about an hour for the latest stop on my Tour of the 2022 CT Yelp Top 25, I immediately knew that I would not be ordering the "Healthy Plate". Although, subsequent review revealed the "HP" included bacon. So maybe "Healthy-ish". In any event, I was pretty sure I wanted to order the "Meraki Porchetta". I did. And it was amazing. The Meraki Porchetta is the type of sandwich that can only be served at a small business. At a corporate place, somebody would complain that you can't serve Porchetta, Spicy Kimchi and Sriracha Aioli on a breakfast sandwich. "It's just not done." Add Tomato, an oozy fried egg and a great brioche bun and you have . . . The Meraki Porchetta. It was drippy in the best possible way. You should never eat it while driving. It was a flavor-filled powerhouse with awesome contrasting textures. I had my favorite breakfast sandwich in recent years last weekend. Unfortunately, it was a Buster Douglas short reign. Because this Meraki Porchetta was everything I thought I wanted, plus some. The greatness just kept coming though. Service was awesome. For me, the top level of service includes the normal like efficient, knowledgeable and friendly, but it also includes inclusiveness and interactivity. I felt like a valued regular rather the first timer I was. There was joking, singing and interest in pet pictures. Shoutout Pasta the Dog! They also serve coffee from my fav CT Roaster Giv. They serve it in one of my favorite ways, black iced and in a Mason Jar. Couldn't ask for more there. Meraki is located on the busy stretch between Litchfield Center and Bantam. They have a few inside tables in their small structure, and seem to play fun music and sing along. They also have a nice shady, outdoor seating area. They serve both breakfast and lunch. I have food businesses I almost always visit whenever I'm in a certain part of the State. Meraki is now one of those businesses. Five Supergiant Stars!!!!!

    First time trying Meraki after driving by for years, definitely will be back soon! I called in my order and the staff were very pleasant and thorough in taking my order. Decent amount of parking in front and I appreciated seeing the accessible ramp on the side for handicap accessibility or even strollers for young children. There is a large outdoor shaded seating area which was very pleasant as the inside gets quite congested with patrons placing their orders and waiting. I ordered the Litchfield Hilly and a small container of broccoli salad. The broccoli salad was very fresh with great textures, the staff was able to easily tell me all the ingredients when asked. The Litchfield Hilly was the bomb with jammed packed flavor; my only issue was that the roll like hot dog bun vessel didn't hold up well. Next time I would definitely get it again but on a different type of roll. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

    The place was quaint and so inviting. With a nice outdoor seating area in back. I went with 3 of my gf's to pick up for for our Boujee picnic at Topsmead and we were not disappointed. The cauliflower bowl was absolutely delicious, so fresh and the taste was just sooooo good. Not a bite was left. Prices were also fair and the staff & customer service was excellent. Can't wait to go back!!

    Favorite coffee spot in Litchfield! Parking can be a challenge but it's worth it for all of the delicious options inside!

    Avocado toast and oat milk latte
    Aniko N.

    Great selection of breakfast and lunch food all day. The avocado toast was really nice.

    Falafel sandwich
    Sarah K.

    I have been wanting to try this restaurant since we moved to the area a few years ago. We finally went to pick up takeout for lunch today. I was always kind of worried about the parking, but there are actually additional spaces in back if the ones in front are taken. They also have an outdoor area where we sat while we waited for our sandwiches. They've done a great job making an area right off a main road special and private. It was really hot today, so I appreciated the shade trees! The menu is right on a big board when you walk in. They have several different sandwiches (vegan and GF options available) along with soups of the day, a cold salad case, coffee drinks, and homemade treats. We went with the cubano, the falafel, some quinoa salad, and a magic bar. Service was super friendly and our food was brought out to us once it was ready. My falafel sandwich was amazing!! I loved the spices in the falafel and it had a good amount of veggies and yogurt sauce. They are making their own falafel and it shows. My fiancé said his cubano was the best he's ever had. They use real baked ham - not deli ham - and it makes a difference. He wished his sandwich was a little bit bigger, but that's a small gripe. The fresh basil was my favorite part of the quinoa salad. It really brightened it up. The quinoa was cooked perfectly. I would have liked a little more seasoning or dressing in the salad. And as for those magic bars? Pure magic, they were. Absolutely freaking amazing. We shared one and I wish we bought two. I don't know what took us so long to visit Meraki, but I can't wait to go back!

    Rice bowl with fried egg...excellent!

    This is the place that all the locals know about but won't tell you about...it's tiny, fabulous, and creative dishes! Shhhh. Don't tell anyone! They also do a great takeout business.

    ORIGIN: Clubhouse Provisions opened in Fall 2022 as part of…read morean effort to revamp visitors' experience. (Thanks to Bill S., Litchfield-based CT Yelp Elite, for bringing the restaurant to mind through his informative review.) The revitalization effort was initiated by a couple -- Jill Farrarotti and Jonathan Philips. Farrarotti's family owned the site since 1955 and Philips has professional food service experience. LOCATION: The restaurant is located at the edge of Stonybrook Golf -- a nine hole public golf course set on a picturesque rural road. CONCEPT: Clubhouse Provisions serves modern American and Asian-inspired dishes in a public clubhouse setting. ATMOSPHERE: The clubhouse is modern and bright, with wraparound glass windows overlooking the golf course, cathedral ceiling, and light-colored painted wood paneled walls. SERVICE: Service is informative and friendly. FOOD: The Crispy Thai Calamari ($20) is worth a visit in itself, and is available during brunch (Sunday), lunch, and dinner service. There is a mix of baby spinach, thinly breaded, crispy Calamari, and chunks of mango and grapefruit veiled by an Asian dressing. It shares top place for best iteration of fried calamari I've experienced (the other is Rhode Island style at a RI restaurant). Pork Belly Bites ($21) makes for a good small plate to share when looking to enjoy a drink and a bite on the porch or at the bar. The Avocado Toast ($25), a popular brunch item prior to 2025 season, has been modified and in my mind has an overemphasis on vinegar flavor, delivered through balsamic drizzle and mound of pickled onions. TIPS: The restaurant is only open seasonally due to its relationship with golf course. The absence of sound-absorbing ceiling material makes the dining experience uncomfortably noisy when the dining room is full. The space is available for hosting events.

    Clubhouse Provisions has re-opened (March 20th) after a two-month winter break which in hindsight…read moreseems like a brilliant decision; no one was going out in the midst of our awful snowstorms. Chef Jon is back, and his opening menu for Litchfield Restaurant Week is an excellent one, fully supported by the kitchen which is blending in some newcomers with its experienced staff. We like the wait staff we encountered, too: Jonelle and Abby, super friendly as always, and quick to respond. The early menu is limited but tasty: the fried chicken breast sandwich is back and as yummy as could be hoped. We enjoyed the salmon poke bowl (a little more acidity needed) and the splendid calamari. The deserts we sampled, cheesecake and flourless chocolate cake, were simply delicious. We are so happy to welcome Clubhouse Provisions back and look forward to many more visits and an update on the full menu later this year.

And unlike their incredibly high-priced restaurant across the street, al Tavolo, you might actually afford to eat here. The owners have done an admirable creating an environment that's comfortable and low-key without sacrificing their commitment to quality. After all, the phrase "a mano" translates to "by hand," reflecting how the vast majority of items here are made from scratch on site. I come here often for their coffee, which I love for its balance and low acidity compared to Starbucks, etc. But the real star of the show here are the pastries, such as a layered s'more bar the size of a small brick; a variety of gourmet doughnuts (my favorite is the lemon-filled); and "cruffins," a combination of croissant and muffin with a delicious cream filling. My usual go-to are their bagels: slightly crispy on the outside, pillowy on the inside. There's also a full sandwich and salad menu with breakfast and lunch options including salads, sandwiches, a quiche of the day, and other specials. Their breakfast egg sandwiches -- seemingly modeled on the now-famous one at Sagaponack General Store in the Hamptons -- are especially popular. While $13 for a basic egg sandwich is a bit ridiculous even for a gourmet one, you'll have little complaint once you have a taste. While you're perusing the menu and pastries, don't forget to check out the well-stocked selection of farm-fresh cheeses and other Arethusa Farm products. And, if you've got room aftewards, don't forget to stop at the Arethusa Farm Dairy Store for some ice cream -- it's also across the street, next to Arethusa al Tavolo.

From the moment you see the elegant vintage sign and bright red double doors, you know you're in for something authentic.

I went with one of their specials -- it looked like a chicken cutlet or eggplant variation with fresh greens (possibly arugula), roasted red peppers or similar, and what appeared to be a touch of egg or cheese. Whatever it was, it was excellent. The sandwich came on a perfect crusty Italian roll -- the bread was fresh with a great chew and slight crisp on the outside. The fillings were generous, flavorful, and well-balanced. The greens added a nice peppery bite that cut through the richness of the protein and any sauces. It was one of those sandwiches where every bite tastes just as good as the last. Service was friendly and efficient (the guy behind the counter was busy but still took time to make sure everything was right). The place has that old-school deli atmosphere mixed with modern touches -- exactly what you want when you're craving a quality sandwich.
