There are only three booths, a four top and two top table and about 8 counter stools so come early or be prepared to wait! We ordered biscuits and gravy with poached eggs, country fried steak and a pancake to split. I will say the pancake was awesome (and huge), fluffy but also substantial and great flavor! The gravy was a bit runny/loose but the biscuits were good and my poached eggs were cooked well! Overall I'd definitely come back and try other things on the menu!

I sniffed in here with dad and we got java and pastries…read more The CANNOLI BAR candy bar tasted more white chocolate style and had shrapnel from a cannoli shell. It was not my jam but could work for some. They offer real maple syrup from the White family for a $1.00 charge. I do not know if my MAPLE _________ latte had it or not, but it was too legit to quit. Not too sweet either. Clear maple taste. Whole milk requested. Served in a mug with quality java. RATING = A. The interior is country quaint basic and not going overboard but rather erring simple and open without crowding with stuff. The location is great at the bottom of the slope in downtown. APPLE FRITTER with MAPLE GLAZE: -- I would have preferred a plain cake donut or old-fashioned cake with maple glaze, but this was good -- semi-firm -- medium-sized -- moderate amount of maple glaze has authentic color and taste -- not a sugar bomb -- dark color to bread -- not soft inside, medium-soft inside -- up to medium sweet -- not oily or greasy, tastes more on "slightly" healthy style RATING = A- SFOGLIATELLE pastry: -- this clam shell looking pastry is filled with sweet ricotta cheese -- moderate amount of cheese -- lightly sweet -- tasty -- bread is semi-firm -- I am more of a Zeppole fan, but this is good RATING = A They have bags of Ethiopian coffee which is funny because everywhere we go we see Ethiopian coffee for sale lately. The last time was in September in Portland, Oregon.

This is an easy review…read more The place is called Espresso 59. What do we expect? Well...how about good espresso - rich creama. Syrupy. Well extracted. Maybe locally roasted beans. Ooooh. Can't wait! It's a Lavazza pod machine. I repeat. The coffee at a coffee shop called "Espresso 59" in an ultra trendy high-end area where coffee is routinely selling for between five and eight dollars pull their shots using a Lavazza pod machine. A pod machine. Pods.

10.23.25 This donut shop is tucked in nowhere Torrington…read moreright off of route 8 & right across from Lowes. Great spot. These donuts are so good. I wish I was closer. They're always fresh and very good size. It looks like any typical donut shop that you've been to. Nothing really stands out except that really intense smell of FRESHNESS. So good in the air. Three service is also always great. They're so kind and genuine here. Always great hospitality and very nice people serving you. They have some deal that they sell you the donuts at a discounted rate after like 5 or 6 o'clock . Something like that. I was so surprised that they offer this. I still remember the first time here when they told me about that and I took advantage of it and bought more than I originally planned on getting. I think it's a great concept I've never encountered elsewhere and think more donut places should adopt their truly great concept. Makes sense instead of throwing donuts away at the end of the day. Almost forgot to mention their coffee. It's so good for just a donut shop. It has such rich full body taste. Such a great place to frequent. Love you people here :-)

The cookies were not only beautifully done but also incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. When I arrived to pick up the order, I was instantly welcomed by the most amazing aroma filling the bakery. it smelled so good, I wanted to try one of everything! You can tell everything is made fresh with care and quality ingredients. Allison was great to work with, and I truly appreciated the attention to detail and friendly service. I'll definitely be back to visit the bakery again soon!

Lombardi's is an utterly charming, old-fashioned Italian bakery located in downtown Torrington…read more It's family run, cash-only, and incredibly well priced. The pretty loaves of Italian bread are only $3 -- and they taste exactly like my mother's homemade Italian bread, which I would gobble straight out of the oven as a child. (My siblings and I would fight over the heel, excavate the innards, and fill it with butter!) Also on offer: -- Lattice pies / tarts, half lemon, half apple for.... drumroll........ $14! -- Eclairs -- Italian cream puffs -- Chocolate chip cookies -- 2 for $1! -- Lots and lots of colorful Italian cookies Not all of the baked goods were fresh out of the oven, but that's not surprising given that it was (1) Sunday and (2) there are so many items available that they cannot possibly keep everything in rotation day-of fresh. We have access to world class bakeries and are spoiled rotten. By our hyper-picky standards, the baked goods were just fair. But given the pleasant owners, bargain pricing, and lovely bread, I have no trouble seeing why this place is a local favorite.

When we visited last week we had the kindest barista, Gabe. He got our order correct, was busy and working alone and still was friendly.

There's one kid who works there, I don't remember his name, but he's the Asian guy that's always there. He is super helpful, nice, and my coffee drinks always come out perfect. To address the pastry case, let's be honest; doesn't matter what Starbucks I go to I'll never get anything besides coffee. Their pastries and sandwiches in general are terrible so this location is no different. But if you're going to hate on it you might as well hate on all of them. If you want great customer service and great coffee then I do highly recommend stopping at this one.

Bartender didn't know what makes a toasted almond (milk, disaronno, and kahlua) Boring crowd. All 40+. Karaoke DJ wasn't that great.

We both have fairly stressful jobs, one being a correctional officer and the other an emergency nurse. We were really looking forward to a few drinks to unwind. We ordered drinks, tried to chat for a few, crowd 2 feet away was screaming to the top of their lungs trying to "sing karaoke." My wife respectively with her hearing issue, discreetly put small pieces of tissue in her ears and we continued with our night. The "bartender/owner??" came over and yelled to my wife "oh lighten up! What's your problem? You come in here acting like a big grizzly bear (wife weighs 120 pounds) with this badass attitude, why don't you get out of my fucking bar!!!" Literally grabs our drinks, smashes the glasses behind the bar, I look at her and ask if she's serious and I offer to pay for our drinks and she told us to "GET THE FUCK OUT AND DONT COME BACK!"... neither of us have honestly ever been kicked out of a bar! Lol PLEASE STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE, so many other friendlier establishments in town. Don't waste your time or money!
