This place has a lot of potential but unfortunately I did not have a great experience my first time. They're supposedly a cafe and bakery - but they somehow ran out of whole milk and there was no decaf (one of our party was pregnant so couldn't have a full coffee). Instead, we ordered the chai tea which came highly recommended, but that was just the beginning... They warned us it would take a while to make. "A while" ended up being close to 30 minutes. Originally asked for an iced chai but they gave us a hot chai instead. It tasted fantastic but wasn't what we ordered! However, the staff are lovely and very nice people. It's a very slow pace so I'd go elsewhere if you're in a rush. Hope to have a better experience if I ever come back.

How have I never been here before ?!!! It's a hidden gem in Torrington!! I was so hungry when I arrived and wanted to order everything!! My son just had an orthodontist appointment and couldn't eat much, so one of the employees recommended one of her drink creations! It was delicious!! The owner was so friendly and had my food out in just a few minutes! I thought the prices were really good too! I can't wait to go back!

I've had several takeout lunches from Cafe' 38 in Torrington in the past few months. Mostly salads, but also some wraps & sandwiches. The place is consistent, it makes solidly good food with fresh & quality ingredients. Soups are excellent also. The owner is sweet, and it is obvious she loves what she does. I highly recommend Cafe' 38 for lunch. FYI: street metered parking.

It is good to see an establishment doing well , we have seen so many come and go . But Joe's is…read morehere to stay! I love that we now have a location in town . I have heard great things about Ordinary Joe's especially those wings and their multiple flavor options. Our server Lindsay was and is awesome every time we have been there. We were there for the wings of course , decided to go with the smoked butter bbq which is dry rub, man these were so so so good! Tried honey medium , bomb! Of course mild is always a good go to , and the honey bbq. Allllll so very delicious!!!! Now that I know they are so close I am excited to try the other flavors. I also tried a beer called awkward hug out of kent falls , soooo good and cute art on the can ! I appreciate the staff that takes care me while I am there ! Clean facility ! See you soon!

I may be the luckiest O Joe's fan on the planet. I live in Watertown, home of the original…read morelocation, and travel within Torrington multiple times a week for family. First visit to the O Joe's North location - understanding I/we love the original. It exceeded every possible expectation. Food is terrific - has the same standard as Watertown, but our wings were cooked even better. Fresh, hot, crispy, juicy. Definitely the best Ordinary Joe's wings we've had (and we have a lot of them, often). The food options are clearly rooted in the original concept. However, there are some more/different options here. Everything looked and smelled fantastic. I look forward to investigating further. Our server, Vanessa, earned 25 stars on her own. She was attentive, personable, yet worked quickly and accurately - manning a full bar and dining room simultaneously - while making us feel like we were the only ones in the joint. Manager/(Owner?) Paul was terrific as well. Stepped in to ensure all tables had what they needed, were clean, and everyone happy. It was truly noticeable that customer service is a priority for the team. Building is new/redone/beautiful. Similar, iconic O Joe's feel and decorating - yes, the gridiron is painted on the ceiling. Just a great space. Great vibe. Eat-off-the-floor clean. Simply can't wait to go back. And, again, I am so lucky to have proximity to both locations. **Just one note for families who may go with children or teenage boys (like me)... The service is so great, no one at the table will have an empty glass for long... that's a really positive thing. But, fair warning, soft drink refills are NOT free (nor should they be, frankly). However, with an 18 and 16 yr old in my party...those Cokes accumulate quickly.

Ah, I am utterly charmed! This cafe / eclectic tchotchke store is chock full of homemade goodness:…read morefrom jam, soap, and crocheted cozies in the store section, to sandwiches, salads, cupcakes, Lebanese baklava, and other baked goods in the cafe section. They bake everything in house, with specials on some days (e.g. Sweet Bun Sunday). The selection is vast, especially considering that everything is scratch made in-house. Aromas are enticing! We picked up an orange cranberry dream bar, studded with plenty of white chocolate chips, coconut, and dried cranberries, topped with orange cream cheese frosting and more dried cranberries. It was *enormous* and easily served as dessert for four. Also in our order: a streusel topped blueberry cake, as moist as could be and filled with fresh blueberries. It was also generously proportioned, large enough for at least two. We didn't try any salads, breakfast platters, or sandwiches on this visit, but they looked fantastic, based on what I saw on other customers' plates. I found that the super friendly owners are of Lebanese descent when I asked about the Lebanese baklava at checkout -- and evidently, they sometimes have Lebanese meat pies on offer! I cannot wait to come back to try every Lebanese food item they have, since my family is passionately fond of the cuisine (and really, everything else, too). I had no idea such riches could be found in Torrington! You can't throw a rock without hitting an Italian-American in this town -- not that I would ever throw a rock at an Italian-American :) -- but this is the first I've heard of a Lebanese-American contingent in these parts. I'm so glad Yelp led me here!

I love coming here for breakfast as they food is great, people are so nice and I can get a treat…read morefor later too! The mixed berry French toast was amazing and I love the breakfast potatoes!

Staff was incredibly friendly and gave us a sample of the ice cream to try for dessert. Can't wait to come back and try more on the menu. The store portion has great frozen meal options and fun candies! Plenty of small tables to sit and parking.

VERY generous portions in the grinder Very nice staff…read moreGreat, fresh, grinder bread It's entirely possible that this is their style, and I needed to say I want an equal portion of each meat Sandwich was made exactly how they normally make it, swap American cheese for provolone. Here's the issue. So. Soo soooooo flavorless and bland. It tasted mostly like bologna. Sandwich was ~30 layers of ham. 1 very thin layer of mortadella. 1 very thin layer of salami. Lettuce, tomato, onion. And if the vinegar was used, it was completely without flavor or color. I'm used to a couple more meats than that and occasionally a meat get la a layer or two more than another. But it was essentially a ham and cheese grinder with a thin garnish of salami and mortadella for $17.99+tax. I love Italian combos, this one broke my heart and I debated all day whether to leave this review. Guys.... If you're going to charge top dollar for a sub, you gotta make an effort on quality.
