    Margarita seasonal
    Amber L.

    Always love this lunch. Delicious food. The fries were out of the ordinary but the cheese was good. The grits were also unexpectedly square and in a patty but still delicious. The drinks are always spot on. The service was friendly and helpful, fast and efficient without feeling rushed. And we love the atmosphere. It's calm peaceful and full of interesting people.

    Store area

    This cafe is located within a garden store, that is quite expansive and has an indoor and outdoor area. Everything was neatly organized. The prices were a little high for certain plants you can find elsewhere at almost half of the price so that was a big deterrent in purchasing any plant. I got a latte and garlic hummus from the cafe, both of which were good. I would have both again and try other items from the menu. The ambiance is very cute overall, will definitely come back

    Such a cute spot! Terrain Café has a charming atmosphere and an adorable little shop attached to it, which made the whole experience even better. We visited during a busy time and there was a wait, so we decided to sit at the bar and it turned out to be a great choice. We were able to eat right away and the bartenders were so fun and entertaining to watch. We ordered the Harvest Bowl and fried avocado Benedict. It was delicious, fresh and healthy and satisfying. After brunch we wandered through the shop and ended up doing a little shopping too. Overall, great food, great vibe, and great service. We'll definitely be back for brunch next time we're in town! Yelp ya later!

    This place is amazing! It's gorgeous, unique, and the food was wonderful. We did a girls lunch and got a couple of grain bowls, a Caesar salad with chicken, and their grilled cheese. The grilled cheese was crunchy, with nice apples and brie. Delicious! our server was fantastic, very patient with us and the cocktails were also amazing. My favorite thing was the bread in the flower pot! With the maple butter! Unbelievable I absolutely love this lunch!.

    Flower Pot Bread
    Alana K.

    I came here with my family for brunch over a holiday weekend. We made reservations in advance. Despite it being a pretty large restaurant, it was busy. They serve each table bread and a special butter. The bread was very fluffy and soft. The butter was flavored with fennel pollen. I ordered the mushroom frittata, and substituted the potatoes hash for sourdough. The frittata was topped with goat cheese and served with lightly dressed greens. The food was delicious. The whole restaurant is garden-themed and there's a large store attached to it that sells household/beauty products, plants, gardening products, decor, etc. It was nice to eat in such a beautiful and green space!

    shop!

    Love the ambiance here! I recommend making a reservation in advance. My friend and I came here on a Sunday afternoon and waited for only around an hour (luckily), the restaurant was packed! They have indoor and outdoor seating. What is really nice is that when you're waiting you can check out their shop and garden! It's so beautiful and they have great stuff. Their items in store and at the restaurant are a bit pricer for what you're getting though. Since it seems more upscale and farm to table I was expecting better service. Our server messed up our drinks and food order and rarely checked in on us. As for the food, I got the shakshuka which was good, not the best ever but decent. I wish it was a little more salty, but the fresh tomatoes made up for it. My friend got a frittata and thought it was okay. Needed more salt as well. We definitely do not recommend the matcha as you can't even taste it. But my blackberry spritzer was good. All in all, food was okay, vibes were great, service was not up to par for cost. Note: the parking lot is small, hard to find parking, they have valet

    Brioche French Toast

    Terrain has the best brunch and service. The French toast is my fav. Not too sweet just a perfect balance. I always try to get their seasonal coffee which tastes great.

    This place is great! The store they have had very aesthetic and nice plants, pots, and decor. The cafe is hidden inside it all and the space is so cool! Beautiful plants surround you as you eat and it has an open and bright concept which makes for a very good brunch. The service was also very friendly and welcoming. We got the Shakshuka which was so flavorful and the consistency was great with the bread to be dipped in! The chickpeas were also nice and crispy. We also got the chicken Caesar salad which was also very good. The dressing was perfect and the chicken was grilled to perfection. We also got some mimosas and a whiskey drink they were offering which was very fragrant. Highly recommend this place for a brunch with a group of people or a date. It's beautiful and delicious and you won't be disappointed!

    Imitation crab & shredded Parmesan on truffle fries. YUCK!

    I've been here a hand full of times. The timr before this the food was debatable and I assumed they made some changes so I just brushed it off - new management maybe. This time was UNACCEPTABLE - $35 dollar for imitation crab & cold shredded mozzarella cheese on cold fries! GAGGED! Never again. For them to be popular and busy they should have more decorum! I left hungry and disappointed to say the least.

    Short Rib & Eggs*
    Will D.

    We stopped in for breakfast right at open at 10am. It was super cold out and windy and we had to wait outside until 10 on the dot, which was a little annoying. The ambiance is unmatched, a really cool earthy type spot. We were met with a nice server who took our orders fairly quickly. We ordered a few different things. The flower pot bread is a cool fun thing, and it was good with the red wine specialty butter. The short rib and egg was delicious - really juicy and didn't even need to touch my knife since it fell apart with my fork. I wish they added a little more sauce to lap up the potatoes with, and it would've been great had they offered the option to add another egg for a couple bucks. Also needed a dash of salt. The mushroom frittata was good but also could've used a bit more goat cheese. I snagged a bite of the kids pasta with red sauce, and it was ok, a bit al dente. This is our second time here - the first was around a similar experience. Some tasty food but a couple changes could make it truly great.

    I'm giving a hard review on this. I wanted to love this place so much. First off, please make a reservation in advance here if you can. It was a 2 hour drive wait without which I think is a little extreme. Thankful for the garden area to eat up an hour of the wait. I hope when the weather is nice & the outdoor area is open the wait won't be as bad. The place is nice looking. It's adorable actually. So here's where things went a little further down hill for me. The machine that makes lattes/ espresso/ ect. Was BROKEN. I WAS SO BUMMED. I found the regular coffee very icky & watered down. As someone into coffee this was a huge letdown :/ I tried one of their other specials they had & I was also v disappointed. It was a hibiscus tea that wasn't steeped very long. Also I had to ask the server for everything which was frustrating. I know they're doing their best. The flower pot bread is precious & warmed. As far as the food goes, I was satisfied but not for that price point. & I don't think it's worth a 2 hour wait either. Maybe I'll try again in warmer weather!

    We loved terrain so much for dinner that we went back for brunch a few weeks later! It's such a lively setting where you're surrounded by plants and can go shopping right after eating. They have an option where you can turn any of their lattes into espresso martinis which I loved! And the servers were extremely friendly. I highly recommend making a reservation as they do get packed fast! On to the food! When we went for dinner we couldn't help but pick multiple things off the appetizers menu. My favorite bites were the fried cauliflower,it was extremely crispy, flavorful and addicting, and their hummus, which was extremely smooth and creamy! The cocktails were pretty good as well and they create a seasonal list for you to choose from! The halibut was my go to choice for my entree, it was well seasoned and delicious! If you like a little bit of heat, the scallops are a tad bit spicy but overall good! They also bring out a cute flower pot full of bread and a special butter that they change I believe every week or everyday. Overall a wonderful experience and can't wait to go back for dinner! Brunch is equally delicious and I highly recommend the terrain burger! It's extremely juicy and the parm fries are addicting with it!

    Terrain Cafe never disappoints. The atmosphere is refreshing--surrounded by greenery that makes you feel instantly calm and cozy. The food is consistently delicious, with fresh flavors that pair perfectly with the warm, inviting setting. It's the kind of place that makes you want to linger a little longer, whether you're there for coffee, a full meal, or just the ambiance. Always a good choice.

    #willflyforfood #ctfood #brunch…read more The menu was a little confusing but the food was delicious not shown we got a cinnamon roll to go so we could have it as a late night snack. while we were sitting there everything that came out was creative and looked delicious Ill definitely be back to try something else. the breakfast sandwich on a waffle was just the right amout od sweet and savory and the breakfast burrito was seasoned to perfection you dont think of ground beef often for breakfast but it was delicious

    I decided to come here for breakfast while I was in the area and I have no regrets at all! I'm in…read morelove with the food and service here! (Visited 3/11) Ambiance [4/5]: Minimalist style design, it's nice, Theres also pretty lighting and a good amount of seating with an open bar as well. Food: Trix latte w/ whole milk (seasonal): [4/5] Tastes like a bowl of cereal from a cup. Topped with whipped cream it's really delicious! Tastes like a cup of childhood. Theres a good anount of cereal in the cup alongside the ice so it feels like you get a good amount of sips before the drink is done. Other than that it's still pretty good nonetheless. Sin-A-Bun: [5/5] This is very delicious, it's a perfect mix of sweet and savory. The smokiness from the bacon surprisingly compliments the cinnamon roll buns. Good concept and executed perfectly. If there were an option i'd choose that over having it on the side. Surprisingly I didn't notice it on the side on the sandwich until I was half way through. Still delicious though. Challah french toast [5/5] Tasty and sweet. You can't go wrong with french toast. I added strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and Nutella drizzle (each topping is $3 extra). It was worth the price it was delicious. It came with a side of butter which compliments the sweetness of the toast and some syrup. I didn't use much of the syrup but it was still delicious when I did decide to use it! I wouldn't order this because for delivery because its one of those things that taste so much better fresh in front of you rather than waiting to he dropped off. Service: [5/5] Fast and efficient service! The restaurant works as a team. One man sat me, The middle eastern girl with the long sleeve black shirt took my order and checked on me, and the white boy with the arm tattoos and pen between his ear checked on me at times, and cleaned my table while the girl was busy. It's great to see everyone helping each other and not letting anyone suffer. I Loved it! Overall Cafe social, is a great restaurant to stop by if you plan on going to the mall. Not only is it a 8 minute walk but you're also given a great meal and overall greater experience. I see myself coming back here if I'm ever in norwalk looking for a quick bite!
