I wasn't the biggest fan of their plain coffee with almond milk, so I'd recommend getting a flavor in it. Great spot for a quick grab and go, and they have some canned and bottled drink too.

The restaurant is a small space near the building entrance with a few places to sit inside and more out front where they have a pick-up window. We stopped in for a coffee and sandwich. Breakfast had just ended and I was sad, but here we are. So no 'all day' breakfast sandwiches here. Maybe because I was hoping for something else my sandwich was a bit disappointing. I can only describe it as bland. So take that with a grain of salt. It may be just what you want. The staff were pleasant. Food quality is good. Restaurant is clean. Outdoor seating is nice and there was a child booster seat available outside during our visit. Public restrooms are around the corner in the basement of the building. Parking on street or in one of the public lots.

This place is actually really pricey for the quality of food you get here. I ordered the egg, cheese sandwich on a biscuit (because we always like to try the local restaraunt's biscuits) and I added their maple sausage. I wanted to get an almond croissant as well until I saw a fly in the pastry cabinet just have his way on all the pastries. NOPE!! This was probably one of the worse breakfast sandwiches I have ever had to date. The biscuit itself was hard as a rock, dry and crumbled upon touch. It was lousy as heck. The maple sausage was a thick patty, but small, almost like a quarter size round compared to the size of the biscuit. So for what sandwich and a cup of coffee was around $23. Heck no! Was that even worth it with how bad inflation is these days Not sure how they have such high ratings, but just be warned. You're welcome!

They also offer some breakfast sandwich and custom sandwich as well. It's located on downtown waterbury along the stowe street. We parked on side of street and walked over. Inside is small cozy room with some chairs and tables with counter where you order. They have great selections of NY style bagels and cream cheese. I ended up getting a garlic bagel with maple bacon cream cheese and a buff's kickin burrito which comes with jalapeño cheddar wrap, egg, spinach, bacon, red pepper, cabot pepper jack, and home made hot sauce. The bagel was fresh, nice and chewy. Maple bacon cream cheese was creamy and sweet with subtle maple flavor. The wrap was fresh, savory and had a hint of sweetness, acidity and a kick from the home made hot sauce which was really good. Service was nice and quick. Staff seemed to be used to busy times so everyone was very quick but still attentive and nice. Price is reasonable as well the portion of the bagel, cream cheese and sandwich is good. Overall it's a great spot to enjoy tasty bagels, cream cheese and/or your own custom bagel sandwich with your own choosing. I like the customization they offer here and quality of bagel and cream cheese was good. They also sell their cream cheese as well separately and offer older bagel for free at the basket in front of the entrance for those that are in need. As a side note their bathroom is huge and has a bench which i thought was interesting.

Second day we had smoked chicken wings, again very well made and delicious, and we split the cheese steak with everything. It was huge, enough for two, and really good.

Then discovered the loaves stocked daily fresh bread at Stowe Living and at The Commodities Natural Market. More recently we went to Hyde Park location to try their lunch sandwiches. The Turkey Bacon Avocado with cheddar cheese and pickled red onions is fresh, tasty, easy to eat - a favorite. Panuozzo is an interesting creation using sourdough pizza to wrap around fresh burrata, roasted garlic cloves, roasted red peppers and pesto - the burrata is super fresh and rich type of mozzarella but sandwich is very messy (both hands and face) and we reeked of garlic afterwards. Seriously, the garlic taste and odor built up and literally lingered for 24h - so make sure to share this with your loved ones so all of you are in the garlic group. We would order the Panuozzo again but probably leave off the garlic. Bahn Mi is an interpretation of a classic Vietnamese Bahn Mi - it is tasty but contained no cucumbers, less cilantro and pickled carrots/daikon plus the gravy made the bread soggy. It is still good and we would order again but ask for the gravy on the side as a dipping sauce. All 3 sandwiches were winners and we loved our food adventure. We were missing pickles from 2 of our 3 sandwiches but the 1 pickle we had was good. The sandwiches were hearty so we didn't eat the fries. We will be back and can't wait to try Reuben, cheese steak, fried chicken as well as dinner!
