The focus on locally sourced, halal and kosher dairy and are certified by the fairfield county vaad hakashrus. We got two böreks: cheddar jalapeño and leek and onion. Both were really really good. We also grabbed some Malabi pudding and loved that as well. They have ample seating inside the bakery so you could enjoy your treats there or take them home (which I did). They will pack them with heating instructions for later if you're not ready there since they are best eaten hot or can heat them up for there or before you leave. We will definitely return!

It took over 20 minutes to get them to go, even though all the lady had to do was take them out of the case and put in the boxes for me. She also put 3 dipping sauces in the to go boxes, but never said what they were (or mentioned anywhere on the case, etc.) Yes, clean, bright and airy place. You'll get more from a pizza slice.

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.

Many entrees are already served on a bed of lettuce and slice of bread. Note: Kitchen CLOSES for orders of meals at 3:00 pm on weekdays. Very vintage with great entree presentation. I love the quiet areas with single seating if you prefer coffee only while working or reading. This cafe has a boho and a one of a kind vintage feel. Nice crowd with people of all ages and a friendly staff. Very unique bakery desserts but Priced equal to most specialty coffees. Self seating with payment and order in advance on an I pad. Choose your own table and food is served to you! A large menu to choose from. Seafood entrees would be nice for vegetarians. Even a tuna or shrimp plate with soup and salad. One REQUEST.... PLEASE serve HOT specialty coffees in different cups or add a cover to keep them HOT. My pistachio goes cold well before I finish my meal so I skip dessert for that reason. Perhaps offer a refill. Ice is needed near water dispenser. Truly a diamond in the rough! I highly recommend pistachio coffee, cafe, and everything within it.

The biggest setback for us was the service. Our server wasn't very attentive and spent the entire time conversing with every other couple (and we were the only gay people there so it felt discriminatory dare we say?). He didn't check on us, didn't offer us drinks and didn't talk to us at all, but everyone else was getting a laugh and a chuckle out of him. There were also very very minor microaggressions we noticed but they were so micro, we didn't really feel as though we could say anything. The place is very cute though, it has a nice cutesie vibe. Unfortunately, we likely won't be back. Our general ratings: Food- 8.3 Service- 2.5 Comeback ability- 1.5

The Cafe consists of generous seating on both sides with a large bar stretching from the front door down towards the middle of the restaurant. We were sitting on the backend portion of identical tables and chairs. Our server was pleasant and friendly and our party of three were about to be very happy with what was in store for us? I was told that we had to arrive early because this popular little neighborhood nook, fills up at a moment's notice? We arrived at 8:00am and it was jamming. The menu has a large variety of breakfast and brunch options with their hours open until 3:00pm, daily I believe?? I enjoyed Bella's Corned Beef Hash with Scrambled Eggs, Homemade Grits and 2 Fresh Biscuits. Outstanding and Rib Sticking Comfort Food. If you never knew about this place before my review?
