    Had a wonderful time at this place. Have tea times set twice a day during the weekend. All food authentic and delicious. Be aware to only enter at tea times but overall definitely recommend. Felt very homey and not overcrowded. Large food assortment and tea assortment. Really recommend and service/ owner super kind!

    This place doesn't disappoint! They are open Thursday-Sunday and there are only two time slots each day that they take reservations for. 11 am and 2 pm. It is a two hour experience and it's such a fun time. They only open the door just a couple minutes before your reservation because they are making everything fresh. You are led through beautifully decorated rooms and seated at very comfortable chairs and tables. The flat fee includes a bottom less tea of your choice and they bring out all kinds of sweet and savory things to enjoy! It was worth the money! Our servers were amazing as well! Food was fresh and delicious

    Nann runs a beautiful tea shop! Tea is by appointment only, which is easy to reserve online. When reserving, it's important to note any food allergies/preferences at that time. I also asked for seating that could accommodate wide hips and was respectfully and easily accommodated. The service itself is wonderful. The menu is chef's choice and everything is tasty. The tea is bottomless during the 2-hour service. It's so wonderful that I've booked it 3 times in 3 months. You won't regret it!

    Nann was amazing! She was such an awesome hostess. The tea and mini sandwiches tasted great. The background music was soothing. My husband and I enjoyed ourselves, it was a great experience, an experience that we would do again.

    Why wait for a special occasion to enjoy this lovely afternoon tea experience. This experience is by reservation only. Nan was a delightful hostess and so friendly. Love her attention to detail. Our party had specific request and she did not disappoint. We had such a great experience in such a cozy and inviting environment. Tea is served at 2 different time frames- 11-1 or 2-4. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of tea options available from both caffeinated and non caffeinated. Our experience was top notch and reminded me of my afternoon tea experience in England. We definitely will come again in the future.

    Attention to detail! adorable table setting for our tea time reservation

    My husband booked this as a Valentine's Day gift and it was an amazing experience. Great customer service by all staff - attentive, knowledgeable, efficient. There were tiny bites with a sparkling cider to get our reservation started. Tea list was extensive!! We enjoyed our picks of blends offered. The food was adorable and proportions were perfect. It was nice to have the two hour reservation so we didn't feel rushed and could enjoy the ambiance. Will definitely be back! Highly recommend!

    Went for lovely early afternoon tea. The service was good and really appreciated when the owner was able to come to the table to share where the food came from and more about the teas we were drinking. The ambiance is truly lovely and relaxing. Hopefully the mask to the table only can go away soon (Covid) and more info about the process when reserving would be helpful. They only open five minutes before your reservation only time but we never felt rushed. The food was excellent with a great variety given to us. It comes all at once not in stages. Your individual bottomless tea pot comes out hot and is a really nice set up. You can buy teas for home too!

    Take a trip to London without leaving CT! Take Tea is a perfect little tea house located in Avon, CT. The hostess Nan was friendly and very thoughtful while preparing our tower of goodness. This is a great space for special occasions with family or significant other it was a relaxing experience with great tea options. Be sure to make reservations ahead of time.

    Genteel ladies and all tea lovers will feel especially pampered at Take Tea. Nan and her son took wonderful care of us. A wide selection of teas, delicious tastes of England, Scotland, and Ireland made the afternoon complete. Relax, sit back, and enjoy beautiful treats presented in old English style. Sandwiches, scones, biscuits, and special extras made it a real indulgence. Thank you!

    "And I can break away to the better life Where the shackles…read morenever hold me down I'm gonna make a way for each happy day As my life turns around" (The Beach Boys) You might understandably think your navigation system has gone kerflooey when you set a course for the Breakaway Bistro at 195 W Main St in Avon. That's because when you pull into the shopping plaza.....you don't see it. But if you circle around to the right, you'll see it on the side of the strip mall's buildings. And trust me, this spot is definitely worth hunting down to experience a standout breakfast or lunch. We walked in a little before 1:00 yesterday and found a table for two in the back left corner of the dining room, so we had a good view of the entire room. I have to tell ya, the place was packed! Breakaway closes at 3:00 every day except Sunday (2:00), and there were breakfast and lunch menus out, plus a few daily specials. My wife went with a "William's Ham Panini" ($17) with thin sliced ham, bacon, caramelized onions, cheddar and honey mustard on a grilled panini. We both were struck at how much ham was piled onto her sandwich. She had a few choices for a side dish and put her nickel down on potato salad. I went with The JT Salad ($16). The menu says it's been their "best-selling salad 25 years and counting". It was a big portion of mixed greens served with house balsamic dressing, grape tomatoes, gorgonzola cheese, and grilled chunks of teriyaki glazed chicken breast. It was stellar, with plenty of that yummy cheese and chicken. The only sour note with our lunch was a rather steep $4.25 for a glass of iced tea that was half-filled with ice. The food was very good and a decent amount of leftovers came home with us for another day. I was unexpectedly impressed by how crowded Bistro was on a random Monday. I bet you'll be too.

On our first visit we ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich and Wild Turkey. The service was so good, all of the guys behind the deli made sure everyone was promptly assisted. When I lifted the bag of our 2 sandwiches, it was as heavy as a brick!! The sandwiches were so big we split one for lunch and one for dinner. The winner was the pulled pork, but we loved the turkey too. We returned a couple of days later for another pulled pork sandwich and I also ordered a giant dill pickle I saw on the counter. This place also has a huge selection of raw meats and prepared foods and a bunch of random local goodies and sauces to try. Again, I wish I took a picture of my sandwich, but I forgot about the existence of my phone while I was enjoying it :)

    I know it's Avon, but prices here are outrageous. I was looking at the ground venison & elk,…read moreneither one had prices listed (on the product itself or anywhere around the fridge). So the counter person took them back up to the register to check the prices, they were in the $23 & $24 range for 14 ounces. That's double the price I pay for ground venison and ground elk at the Litchfield Locker, the prices there are $11.99/lb (venison) & 10.99/lb (elk) respectively. So, needless to say, I just wasn't interested in being fleeced, no thanks. I won't be returning.

These days it's hard to find a cafe that isn't overpriced and better than just average. But Toasted Oat hits the high points of quality of cook on the food, even if the ingredients may not all be top notch. They have breakfast sandwiches, bowls and scrambles, as well as regular sandwiches, salads and burritos. We enjoyed the regular breakfast sandwich with spinach and cheese (subbed the meat but wish the spinach had been cooked in - $7) and the breakfast scramble which included 2 eggs, 3 veggies, cheese, protein all mixed/cut up together, as well as hash brown (didn't exactly look homemade?) and toast ($11). Everything was served in to-go containers so the looks weren't the best but makes sense given the place and that most people probably don't dine in. You order at the counter and they bring you your food. Everything takes time to come out so you know it's done to order. They also have some coffee and tea. They had a few coffee cake items in a glass display but didn't look homemade either. It feels like a cafe should have more selection of pastries but again bother me. Service was friendly and patient. The actual location isn't that great visually either. There is one longer table and a few smaller ones, but it's not a big place and not decorated to impress (fine by me!) It is located in a small nondescript plaza with an Indian market. Small parking lot. Wish this small business well!

When you walk in…read morethere's a board listing all the soups and there's a little bee next to the ones that are currently in stock. Some are fresh and some are frozen. We've had the corn chowder, the split pea with ham, and the super delicious sausage and kale. We went in today and got a butternut bisque, a chili, and an Italian wedding soup and are excited to have them for dinner over the weekend (ETA: The chili wasn't our favorite, but the Italian Wedding was very good and the butternut bisque was fantastic). They also have jams, honey, bread and little snacks. We tried the homemade strawberry jam and it's lovely. On Tuesdays, the soups are two for one (I believe this is every Tuesday, but maybe it was just on the Tuesday I happened to be there), which is a great deal. I have a feeling this place will be in our weekly rotation once the fall weather kicks in.

Here were tonight's entrees: Mac and Cheese $12 Chicken Dijon $14 Swedish Meatballs and Noodles $16 Panko Chicken $12 BBQ Pulled Pork with French Fries and a roll $18 Eggplant Lasagna $14 They had one appetizer tonight -a dozen sausage stuffed mushrooms for $16. They had a slew of $5 side dishes like vegetable quinoa, pasta salad, tuna mac, roast carrots, etc. And how can we forget dessert? I saw some cupcakes and macaroons. There were two very pleasant young folks behind the counter who took my order and placed my entrée and a bag of six macaroons ($5) inside a complimentary tote bag. They asked me to check out the freebies on a table on the way out, so I helped myself to a pen, a pad and a book of matches. The Eggplant Lasagna was plenty big for us to split. It had a nice blanket of mozzarella on top with lots of thinly sliced breaded eggplant, creamy ricotta, and sauce. It was very good, but I think it could have used a bit more sauce. And those macaroons? OUTSTANDING!! Very moist, very soft, very coconutty. The Bee's Knees provided us with very good quality food, a generous quantity for $14, and all things considered an excellent value.

The restaurant was exceptionally clean, well organized, and had a welcoming atmosphere. The service was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. The peri-peri food was excellent. I ordered the half chicken dark and chose the hot spice level. It was extremely flavorful, tasty, and cooked just right. The peri-peri chicken was exceptional--every bit on par with Nando's. I also ordered a Caesar salad with chicken as the protein. You can choose the spice level for the chicken, and I went with medium on the salad. The salad was very fresh, and the peri-peri chicken was a very tasty addition to it. Another nice touch was that the cook came out and checked to see if my food had been prepared to my liking. That kind of care really stood out. One of the things that sets this place apart is that, although it offers carryout, it also has a comfortable dine-in area where you can enjoy your meal with real plates, silverware, and napkins instead of disposable items. That simple touch is a big plus. I highly recommend giving this place a try, and I will definitely be back.I

One thing I've appreciated is seeing how much they've improved over time. In the beginning, the food quality and consistency weren't always where they needed to be, but they have made significant improvements and have become much more reliable. The peri peri chicken is flavorful, well-seasoned, and cooked well, and the sides are generally fresh and satisfying. Whether dining in or ordering takeout, my recent experiences have been consistently positive. The staff is friendly, and service is generally smooth. The only minor issue I've noticed is that they occasionally run out of certain menu items, especially during busy periods. However, that hasn't taken away from the overall experience. It's great to see a local business continue to improve and grow. Overall, Tribos Peri Peri offers good food, solid service, and a much stronger experience than when they first started. I'd happily recommend it and will continue to return.
