Then a friend of ours recommended Redding Roasters, we bought a pound to try out, and we never stopped. It's a bi-monthly event now, we stop in (OK, my husband stops in most of the time. I work a lot and don't usually have opportunities to go myself), pick up two pounds of single-origin beans, and find the will to keep going. Even though my office has free coffee, I bring my own from home. I can't be without it! And the people there are so wonderful! They're all very personable and when I get the time to stop in I love chatting with them. The selection is great, the people are great, supporting a local business is great. I hope they stick around for decades more.

They have a tasting station inside and a huge variety of prepackaged and they also package and custom make the blends you desire.

Terrific and snazzy Tazza (Espresso and Coffee) Cafe in Ridgefield is very quaint and very…read moredelicious. This cafe is modern. It has none of that 500-year old cigarette fumes have been seeping into the woodwork-type that you may find in Paris. Tazza Cafe is brilliant and squeaky clean, though not bright inside. Tables are for no more than 2 people (max!). But there are a few tables outside along Main Street and you might be able to snag an extra chair for a trio business meeting, or so. As has been noted, Tazza Cafe has lots of delectable sweets, baked goods, croissants, sandwiches, paninis, cookies, stuffed items, salads and Italian noisette biscotti to dunk in that Java! All the items are neatly (and I mean in rows :) ) displayed behind luminous glass. The items are not marked by name and price, which is a bit of a stumper for normal customers (I can tell by experience) - but in my book it's okay if they rotate items periodically or change their places depending on what is selling that week. Two gals were running the bar-high railed table: one was nocking out the orders and payments, the other was running the espresso machine. My order was a double Espresso and a sweet Linzer Tart (I always get them since my Grandmother used to spoil me with them). Although my espresso at Tazza Cafe only very barely reached a HALF (tiny) cup - it was strong. It was pungent. It had almost a kind of plum and barky flavor. It tasted thick & good. The coffee station however was a mismatch of space for local papers and news taking up the space for cream and milk and syrups (which was oddly missing). The interior fits the town of Ridgefield. Upper-scale. Suave. Lots of mirrors and glass and black surfaces. This is no riff-raff shop like out in Cali! At first I thought it may be a *chicks-preferred* type of puppy-pink peony-kale & baby food smoothie-type coffee shop, but NO there were groups of dudes languishing in chairs with cigarettes and lattes taking a break. Arrived at 9am and there were 8-9 customers. One thing: that entrance door is tough. Weak armed elderly customers with not much strength had trouble yanking it open from outside. Me, I had trouble getting out with a cup in one hand and a bag in the other. Hey proprietor: Oil the door or lower the jam! That said: Tazza Cafe serves il caffe perfetto e un po' forte in this chef's review! Tazza Cafe's top notch. Review: 5+

The coffees are fresh yes I will say that but I asked for a small caramel flavor and just received a black large coffee, the hazelnut coffee also did not taste like anything. The egg spinach wrap had no flavor, the egg was way too over cooked & overloaded with spinach the only thing giving it flavor was the hot sauce. The bagel was okay, I personally like them to be more toasted but it is what it is. Pastries are definitely giving Costco for sure. Highly doubt I would be coming back, and definitely wouldn't recommend.

I would love to give this place five stars, but the staff is awful to deal with…read more They do not understand you when you go in and you end up getting the wrong thing all the time I understand sometimes there's a language barrier, but it gets to the point where it becomes a project to try to order. if you ask them to warm something up for five seconds, it comes out, scorching, hot and destroyed. On more than one occasion, the lid wasn't on the coffee spilled. Wants the whole body get out and the coffee went all over the place. The desserts are good, but some of them are just from Costco. I literally saw the same pack of cakes that were in the case! On a positive note, the coffee is absolutely fresh and delicious and the ground the beans there.

Not terrible and not amazing, she says. Then again, after more than two decades of marriage, I've probably slumped from amazing to fine to annoying. The grilled cheese was a nice treat. I spec'd it with tomato and bacon. While eating, a local did come in and made a beeline for the bathroom. Not sure if it was for a #1 or #2...but since it was already occupied, I guess it was not a #2 emergency.
