I did some googling and stumbled upon this coffee shop. From the outside it looks like a charming New England house, and the inside is restored into a coffee shop while still maintaining some of that classic New England homey charm. I got coffee and a croissant and spent some time sitting by the fireplace in the living room portion of the coffee shop. Some of my friends came with me and we really just enjoyed our time catching up over a coffee and pastry. It did end up getting really busy so make sure to come either during the off-season or early in the morning. The coffee was really yummy and the croissant was scrumptious too. They also sold a lot of cute snacks, merch, and other goodies. Can't wait to go back

Tucker's is an extremely popular breakfast/ brunch/lunch spot for locals and travelers alike. If…read moreyou are going between 10am-12pm, expect a wait, and possibly to use street parking because the parking lot is rather small (not easy to turn around in if other patrons are also looking for parking). That said, the coffee, food, and service are worth it! There are two seating rooms and one of them opens out to restrooms and a very small shopping/business mall. The tables and chairs are thick, heavy, rustic wood reminiscent of a country kitchen, and the acoustics are pretty good! No echoes or a need to yell to friends or family at your own table. The service is stellar! Lots of students work here and they are top notch. The food is outstanding. Their hash browns are literally the best I have ever had. They are wispy and crispy, and will not leave grease on your plate or in your belly. The eggs are always perfect, no matter how you ask for them, and the pancakes are the best you can get without making them yourself at home. They are served with a syrup, but for $2.00 extra (at the time of this posting), you can get real maple syrup instead. By the way, their coffee is not limited to regular and decaf. There is a delightful coffee drinks menu for options to enjoy at your table or to go! Tucker's also does take out, so you really have not excuse to miss this delightful place.

Several months ago, New London, Pizza Chef restaurant underwent a change in management, and the…read moreresults have been outstanding. Wile things were good under the old reign, the new management has turned this restaurant into a gem. Of particular notice is it timeliness and quality of the pizzas they make. Crusty bases. Fresh vegetables, high-quality cheese. It used to be that upon ordering, you would wait 40 to 45 minutes before you could pick up your pizza. Under the new management, the wait time has been sliced roughly in half. And always, service with a smile. This store recently applied for permits for a total remodeling, including extension of the kitchen, reducing indoor spaces, and expanding the outdoor space as well as joining it with the ice cream shop next-door. When all is done and complete, this outstanding venue will be an even better place to enjoy food.

And they employ local kids who would have to travel long distances for employment.

Repeated mask problems during COVID. Recently a gruff burly woman making sandwiches was wearing her…read moremask below her chin--in this time when New Hampshire generally and New London specifically is experiencing highest numbers of COVID cases and hospitalizations. Customer in front of me asked the lady about it and she moved the mask below her nose. She looked like she was going to spit in the sandwich as soon as the customer wasn't looking. I was in there to order 5 sandwiches for a family lunch, but decided for our health not to and instead just bought a couple of bottles of water. Jake's lost around $50 on us that day for everything we would have bought for lunches (sandwiches, chips, dessert, etc.) Today I returned. Two customers walking around not wearing masks. I asked the nice cashier about it and she confided it's wisest for her not to comment on masks given some people who come would not take it well--and I knew precisely what she meant. Some pretty motley looking folks seem to frequent Jake's. A red-faced swaggery customer behind me--not wearing a mask--overheard me ask about masks in the store, and he starting taunting me for the type of mask I was wearing. I decided I didn't want to be anywhere near someone like that, or be in that store, so I left. Other than this clear problem with masks and sometimes quite seedy looking people working in the store (not the female cashiers who are nice and seem pretty normal) and sometimes pretty creepy looking folks hanging around the parking lot, Jake's has really good coffee, an interesting and wide variety of foods, and their homemade sandwiches tend to be delicious. You can also get Vermont made ice cream and home-baked dog biscuits, and other assorted things. When I got back to my parents' house I mentioned what happened. My brother said he'd never go to Jake's for that reason and my Dad said their friends don't go there anymore due to lack of masks (they're older).

I had their Gorgonzola salad with salmon on top and washed it down with their Rags to Riches IPA. Our entire party was quite pleased with the evening. Our only lack of satisfaction was in the lack of the giant pretzels they used to have. No more. Instead, they have locally made ale pretzels which although healthier, are almost impassable with a hard texture that is unpretzel-like. I encourage the Flying Goose to bring back their old-style pretzels or redo the ale pretzel recipe from scratch. Great evening.

The food came out very quickly as well. Food: Overall it was fine, nothing special and nothing outright bad. Confit duck wings appetizer (special) - good texture and flavor, came with 7 pieces, the accompanying ?jam was interesting but was too thick to dip wings in and had to be eaten separately with a fork, was tasty though so would recommend Cod fish tacos - the rub on the tacos was overly salty but it was perfectly cooked and the rest of the taco elements were very tasty and overall was balanced apart from the overly salty fish. Hot honey fried chicken sandwich - Had just a bite of my partner's and it was a good bite although the chicken was a bit tough Value - 1 app, 2 entrees, and 1 beer came out to ~$66, portions were just right Overall had a decent dining experience but the off-putting smell and just okay food doesn't make us want to come back.
