Love the atmosphere, pastries and mission of this spot: "inclusive coffee café employing people…read morewith and without intellectual and developmental disabilities and demonstrates the possibilities in all of us." Their mission is imbued in their staff, products, how they set up their space, and how you order. We came here for breakfast on a weekday and had a lovely experience. They have breakfast and lunch cafe menus (+catering), yummy pastries (cookies, muffins and scones) and various coffees and drinks. We enjoyed the omelette (if you order more than 3 ingredients there's a charge) and the village breakfast which was eggs, potatoes (slightly blackened), sourdough toast (or wheat) and bacon. Prices are fairly standard ($11-14) and portions not very large. The panetonne, toasted coconut, and chocolate chip scones ($5 each) were all good and baked well. The honey latte and hot chocolate (most drinks are $4-8) were also very creamy and delicious, though slightly too sweet for our tastes (made it taste good though!) You order at the counter and then take a table and place a marker with nice words like "love" and then your food is brought to you. The actual space is very inviting, with lots of nooks and crannies (tables with chairs, couches, a fireplace). They also sell t-shirts ($30) and sweatshirts ($40-50?) which are pretty soft material, as well as ground coffee, cards, granola, etc. The other half of their space is their homemade pasta place so it's a unique layout and looked fun as well. There were plenty of customers cycling in and out, many sitting down with a warm drink and a pastry. Parking isn't huge but was not super super small but could be an issue if they got an influx of folks hanging out. Wouldn't blame them though because it's a comfortable place with free wifi. Looking forward to returning! Shopping like Whole Foods, walmart, and Shop Rite are all within a few miles.

A fantastic business concept that makes way for hardworking individuals opening new opportunities and pride in one's Self. The service is spectacular and the servers smile earns an even greater smile in return. On one half of the open and airy space is Beanz and on the other side Pasta Co. Each works in unison. Seating is abundant with open and tucked away spots. Some limited outside seats as well. We have purchased breakfast items and devilishly delicious snacks and beverages. Over at Pasta are fresh dishes for a relaxing bite. There are also take home coolers and freezers for enjoying at home.

"I don't remember what day it was I didn't notice what time…read moreit was" (Spiral Starecase) No, I don't remember what day it was or where it was, but I know it was at a Yelp Elite function. One of my friends asked me (quite earnestly) if I had ever been to the Community Room Cafe for breakfast because "it's really great". Well, we went there today and I sincerely want to thank that unknown Yelper because the Community Room Café is excellent. We found it in the Constitution Square retail area bounded by Cedar St., E. Main St., Market Sq and Lowrey Place in the center of Newington, CT. Parking is plentiful in the Square's large parking lot. Their space is amazing -big, cheerful, inviting, comfortable, colorful (plenty of orange and black). There are plenty of various seating options in the form of couches, upholstered chairs, table/chair groupings, and counter-style seats by the windows. We saw a few medium sized groups gabbing away at the upholstered seat area and a few industrious folks clattering away on their laptops. We each went with an Avocado Toast (@ $9) with mashed avocado, diced egg, diced tomato, bacon crumbles, cilantro, and Everything bagel seasoning blanketing a big slice of toasted rye. Seriously, one of the best breakfasts we had this year. I went with a small cold brew coffee and a shot of sugar-free caramel ($4.25) while my wife went with a small light roast coffee ($3). We loved everything about the Community Room Café- the food, the vibe, the décor, the service.... Everything. PRO TIPS Their WIFI password is (one word all CAPS) ILOVEMY COFFEE They have a meeting room available to rent for $50/hour during business hours and $100/hour during non-business hours.

I chose a comfy chair with a table by the window I ordered an egg, cheese and sausage, breakfast sandwich, and to drink a raspberry cheesecake latte. My coffee was ready right away, and my sandwich was brought to me at my seat. Both orders were very good. The egg sandwich was huge. The egg is actually a large square. It was flavorful and satisfying. There are a variety of many items that include coffees, pastries, and breakfast items. The ambience is fairly cozy. There are couches, comfy chairs, and tables. After eating, I stayed another hour to finish a book I was reading. I would definitely visit again.

I've heard so much about Tony's Flour Shop, I am so happy I recently got to check them out my self…read more I am almost never in Cromwell, but on this occasion I was meeting a friend and Tony's was the perfect midpoint for us. This place is so adorable on the inside, it is small and pretty intimate, but the decor is precious! There are so many toadstools (the oversized red mushrooms with polka dots) and rainbows everywhere. Tony's specialty's are all his mom's recipes. There was a delightful selection of an assortment of sweets. Of course you can get your coffees and teas too. Each month they change their drink specials. I got a slice of their Salted Caramel Pecan Blondie and a May Specialty Latte called Fay Valentine. The Blondie was rich with caramel on the outside but decadently sweet, yet crunchy. This is an indulgence for sure! The Fay Valentine is a Banana and Peanut Butter Latte, absolutely delicious! I kept slurping long after it was gone! Please go check out the restroom at Tony's, even if nature isn't calling you to go. I have never before encountered a more magical restroom. If I tell you there's Alice herself hanging upside down from the ceiling, maybe that's enough reason to go. I had a wonderful time with my friend at Tony's Flour Shop, the staff is super helpful and friendly. I cannot wait to return.

Whooooah! I have never wanted to brag about a breakfast sandwich in my life, but Tony's Flour Shop…read morewould be the one! I ordered three things - decaf coffee, the egg, bacon and cheese breakfast sandwich on homemade Italian bread, and a salted croissant. The breakfast sandwich was beautiful - buttered and gently toasted on the outside, soft and squishy on the inside, the bacon was perfectly crisp, and the egg wasn't runny, as I had requested. I have NEVER IN MY LIFE had bread like this; it elevated the entire thing That Salted Croissant tho! I was carb-loading double-fisted style, and it was an amazing way to end my work trip. Thank you for the Studio Ghibli stickers! I knew this place was legit when there was a bowl with giveaway stickers And the service was friendly, prompt, and helpful I will definitely be back and would STRONGLY recommend Tony's Flour Shop!

It wasn't very busy when we arrived, the inside was very clean with an upscale feel. They offer breakfast and lunch options, as well as pastries and crapes. My mom got a cappuccino. I got too ahead of myself and got an Italian Soda with cold foam. What I mean is I didn't realize it was an Italian Soda until it was made. This was far too sugary for me. The flavor profiles were there for sure. When I went to bring my drink to the table, it was overflowing, this was also a large portion. This was a huge miss, but it's my fault for not paying attention to what I was ordering. I'm sure they could craft a tasty latte using some of those flavors. My mom said her cappuccino was pretty good. I might stop by in the future and get something more to my liking.

"There were three men down And the season lost…read moreAnd the tarpaulin was rolled Upon the winter frost" (Paul Simon) That little nondescript plaza on Farms Village Rd in West Simsbury has developed into quite a place of interest. Oishi is great for Asian take-out foods, next to Oishi is Corazon Tequilero, a new and highly regarded Mexican restaurant, and now the plaza has added a cute little coffee shop and bakery by the name of Frost Hill Farm and Home. It's a family run business that specializes in freshly baked goods, lattes and drip coffees. We stopped in for breakfast today and saw pastries, scones, biscuits, muffins, cakes, cookies, pies, egg bites, overnight oats, and sandwiches on the menu. Service was friendly and helpful, the pricing was very reasonable, and the food and coffee were excellent. We had an Orange Scone ($3.99), a Cheddar Rosemary Herb Biscuit ($3.99), a 12 -ounce regular coffee ($2.79), and a 16-ounce dark coffee ($3.29). My biscuit was wonderful, savory, flavorful, soft and fresh! My wife's Orange Scone was great with a nice orange flavor. Both versions of the drip coffee were flavorful and satisfying. There is a small dining room where you can sit and enjoy your meal, and I'm sure you will be as struck as we were by the elegant blue/black and white design everywhere. The room is quite gorgeous. And if all of that isn't enough, the shop doubles as a home décor boutique to pick up some odds and ends for your decoration needs. We loved our visit! It was such a pleasant experience to visit and have a leisurely reasonably priced breakfast.

"Heart made of glass, my mind of stone Isn't it lovely, all…read morealone?" (Billie Eilish) I was thinking about what word best describes this morning's breakfast at the Village Market & Cafe. The best word I can come up with is "lovely". Everything was lovely -the dining room, decorations, the craft goods and pricing from local artisans, the pricing, choices, quality and quantity of the foods, and especially the service and hospitality. If you want an overall lovely vibe and experience, you really need to visit. Their menu board is divided into two sections, with breakfast on the left and lunch on the right. We were there in the morning, so with breakfast on our minds we checked out the left board and saw breakfast sandwiches, bagels, a kid's menu, and a potato patty side. My wife ordered a single egg sandwich on an English Muffin ($4) with bacon ($1) and a potato patty side ($1). Now those are very reasonable prices, so I really don't agree with some of the price bashing I've seen on this page. I ordered what turned out to be one of the very best breakfast sandwiches I've had in months. My Breakfast BLT was a feast of toasted rye bread, lettuce, tomato, bacon, cheese, and two fried eggs. It kept me full for half the day, and at $10.50 was worth every penny. Village Market's coffees are sourced from "Those Guys Coffee Company" out of New Hartford. Our coffee was excellent ($3 for a 12-ounce cup). Oh, and there is one more reason why our visit was lovely - our conversations and interactions with Evelyn. She and her daughter are owners, and she was super friendly, and just a real pleasure to meet and chat with. And to add one more reason to visit is this -they also sell ice cream! This was an easy FIVE STARS for all of the lovely features of this lovely spot.
