    Cute, cozy coffee and ice cream shop in Deep River
    Kasey B.

    With a mission statement like that (please refer to posted picture), how can you not be a fan? They have baked goods, coffee, tea (Harney & Sons too), and ice cream. The place is bright, welcoming, and friendly. There are plenty of small tables inside the main area. To the right of the counter is another small room with a few more tables, but it has a cozy, sitting room feel. A nice place to chat and catch up with friends. There are also a few small tables and chairs just outside as well. Although I had just eaten, the croissants and muffins were pretty tempting. I had an iced coffee and they were more than happy to put it in the travel mug I had brought. I am very happy and excited to have this lovely little place nearby. I look forward to my next stop!

    If you're looking for a great coffee and ice cream in a nice atmosphere, look no further! I stumbled across The Nest while doing a trip around the Connecticut beach towns. Inside we were greeted by friendly employees in a very quaint store. Half of the inside is a shop with locally made products and the other half is a nice sit down area. Me and my dad both tried the affogato and we loved it. My dad thought it was one of the best ones so far. The outside had a few tables and benches that I got to enjoy my awesome dessert on. The menu has a lot more such as teas and pastries. I also found out they're associated with A Little Compassion Inc which does a lot to help young adults with disabilities. Not only are you getting a great coffee but you're supporting a great cause!

    We were really impressed with the coffee / ice cream shop, their mission, and the experience, during our vacation to CT. Definitely recommend!

    Lots to choose from!

    While at the farmers market in Chester, we finally got to try out Simon's Marketplace -- and we're…read moreso glad we did! It's a very cute spot with a charming store area filled with unique gifts, perfect for picking something up while you're there. More importantly, their food offerings really impressed us. They serve breakfast until 11:30 AM, along with a full lunch menu, coffee, and freshly baked goodies. Their baguettes are made in-house, and to my delight, they also offer gluten-free bread! The staff were very sweet and helpful! I had the gluten-free breakfast sandwich and it was perfectly made. It was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. My dad went with the Southwestern sandwich and enjoyed it! It's definitely a welcoming stop with great food.

The deli and coffee house has a very antique, old-school vibe that fits nicely with the charm of the area. They offer coffee, sweet treats, and a variety of sandwiches, making it a convenient stop while exploring the town. We ordered the South West and Monte Cristo sandwiches. Both were nicely portioned--bulky sandwiches filled with roasted chicken, fresh tomatoes, and avocado. The food itself was decent and satisfying enough for lunch, but nothing particularly memorable. While we enjoyed the meal, the overall value felt a bit off, especially considering the price point of $38, which seemed high for what we received. That said, Simon's Marketplace works well as a quick and easy lunch spot, especially if you're already in the area and looking for something casual. It's fine, just not somewhere I'd go out of my way for. Overall rating: 3 out of 5.

    Honeycone is simply as close to a perfect place as there can be. It's in a gorgeous location on a…read morecute street in Chester full of other small businesses, shops and restaurants. The shop is super inviting and nicely set up. All of the scoopers are beyond friendly and sweet, and terrific at what they do. I think sundae construction is an extremely underrated thing that I, admittedly, can be a bit of snob about. They are all masters. Nearly all toppings and elements are homemade, as well as all of their own creamy, while not excessively heavy, ice cream flavors! Even the dairy free options are excellent, and I couldn't even detect a difference. I have been 3 times recently, and most recently had one of the best ice cream experiences of my entire life (if not the best, and all 3 times have been among the top actually). I had a scoop of "Pride" (cake batter with funfetti cake chunks) & a scoop of dairy free blueberry lemon poppyseed in a waffle cone. The extra large homemade cone was crisp and perfection. The Pride flavor was a rare instance of cake batter ice cream not tasting artificial, having an aftertaste, or being overly sweet. The cake chunks were massive. The blueberry lemon poppyseed was utter brilliance. A bright base with all the flavor of the finest lemon poppyseed muffin you could imagine with thick ribbons blueberry , I'll call it a compote (pure fresh saucy blueberry). The other 2 stops I made I ordered sundaes. The first was their May mocha sundae including chocolate cake sandwiched between 2 scoops of espresso chip ice cream with mocha sauce, a biscotti, whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles. The second was their classic sundae with brownie between 2 scoops of your choice (tiramisu & blueberry), walnuts, hot fudge, whipped cream and a cherry. Both were phenomenal and I love the presentation. The assembly, ratio of toppings and honestly every aspect of the sundae is perfect. I go at off times so I love sitting on one of the 2 benches out front. So relaxing. They also sell pints to go. I can't say enough good things. Honeycone is a true gem, as good as an ice cream shop gets. Definitely check them out and support this incredible place!!

They offer a variety of seasonal flavors, and they've just swapped to their winter ones! I got a cup with gingerbread ice cream and chocolate orange ice cream. There were a bunch of other flavors though, like a peppermint one and eggnog! Since there's a good number of seasonal flavors, it was hard to figure out which one to try! While they unfortunately don't offer samples, they do offer an ice cream flight with 6 small scoops for $13.50. Tempting, but I unfortunately didn't need 6 scoops so I went with just the two! A cute option nonetheless. They do let you mix and match flavors of the scoops you get, so I got to try two. The flavors were phenomenal, I was so happy to get try them. What a pleasant little surprise in the middle of a cute shopping area!! I certainly recommend it here.
