This is one of my favorite places in all of New London County. It is the only place I will wake…read moreup early for to beat the crowd and get bagels. Yes, get here early especially in tourist season to beat the crowds, and order ahead if the option is available. They do sell out so check their instagram/facebook first to make sure they haven't yet. My current go to is a plain or sesame bagel toasted with butter and a little hot honey. When I am more hungry, I go for the sweet Lou with no cheese or the Hot Boi with no cheese and cream cheese on the side. The eggs are local and everything is cooked perfectly. The everything bagel is a little too salty for my tastes, but friends love it! My boyfriend is incredibly picky about bagels but if I come home with no bagel for him he gets in his feelings--it's that good. I'm so happy to see The Flour Shop thrive here in Pawcatuck. They started off with humble beginnings and it's been great to watch them grow and expand. Staff is always kind, even with the stress of the tourist season. Check this place out!

I would give 6 stars if it would let me!!! If you haven't made it to The Flour Shop Bagels & More…read moreyet, you're seriously missing out. This hidden gem is already going viral in real life, and after my visit, I completely understand why. Be prepared to wait (the line stretched out the door and wrapped around the building) but don't let that scare you away. It moves pretty fast. It's absolutely worth the wait. And that says a lot coming from an impatient New Yorker that hates to wait. Inside is small and can get pretty crowded, but there are a few outdoor tables if you'd rather enjoy your food outside. Parking was surprisingly easy, with a decent-sized lot. The service was just as impressive as the food. Owner Hannah was wonderful to chat with and clearly passionate about what she's built. Alyssa, who took my order, was incredibly patient and helped me narrow down the menu with fantastic recommendations!! I tried the #3 Sweet Lou on a jalapeño bagel with cream cheese, and it was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The cheddar scallion bagel with regular cream cheese was light, flavorful, and had just the right amount of crisp on the outside. I also had the Meemers BLT on a margarita bagel, which was absolutely delicious. For drinks, I ordered the Cookie Butter Cold Brew with cold foam and the Banana Bread Latte with caramel and cold foam. Both were incredible and packed with flavor. (I usually don't even like cold brew) From the exceptional service to the outstanding food and drinks, everything exceeded my expectations. The Flour Shop Bagels & More absolutely lives up to the hype and is a must visit if you're looking for one of the area's best breakfast spots. They are absolutely on my list of favorites now!

Inside is an old farmhouse and outside is huge with lots of seating. Don't miss the old military truck in the front. They have seasonal drinks along with a regular menu. They also had a lot of pastries when I was there. I can imagine it would be very crowded in the warmer months as it looks like a great place to spend time and enjoy coffee. I will be back soon to try more.

I was so excited to try here because it's considered a staple! The line was egregiously long, all…read morethe way through their parking, since everyone I'm sure had the same idea on a nice summer day! We were in line over an hour! It moved pretty slow. Online orders were also closed that morning so we had to wait. The staff itself were very friendly once we were inside, but oddly enough, I found some of the other customers to be rude. Maybe they needed their morning coffee. The location itself was beautiful outside, so many little places to sit and enjoy food. There was live music as well. The food was ok! I got the coffee milk iced latte as I've never had coffee milk, and it was quite sweet, but that's what it's supposed to be. I felt like I had way more ice than expected, because my drink was done with just maybe 5 sips? I think next time I'd definitely get the larger size of coffee, the price difference is minimal but the size difference was huge. The bacon egg and cheese on the English muffin was good. Good quality, just a little dry. You can pay extra for sauces, which if I go again I would do. I'm not sure if I'd go again because if I'm in the area, I'd like to try some other places out too. The line took so long in the summer, I'm not sure how convenient it would be for me if there is no online ordering available, and if I have to modify menu items.

This was a casual spot that served donuts. The type of donuts seemed to change on a weekly basis,…read morewhich was cool to see. There was a bunch to choose from, so I am sure some remain constant. Three donuts were tried and my thoughts on each are below. Orange Creamsicle - This was brioche filled with orange cream mousse topped with orange glaze, whipped cream, and an orange slice. This tasted exactly like what one would expect. The icing was pleasant, while the whipped cream was very light and airy. Bananas Fosters - This was a banana glazed brioche topped with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and a banana chip. Again, this tasted like what one expects when ordering this type. This was very solid. There was a nice balance of flavors and extremely large too. Bismark - This was filled with raspberry jam and topped with whipped cream, raspberries, and powdered sugar. Again, I could not believe how light the whipped cream was. The raspberries were a nice touch on top and filling, very tasty. Will I go back? Yes, I would.

I was very excited when I was there 2 weeks ago! It was worth the wait. The line wasn't crazy but it moved fast. The GF donut tasted delicious! My non gluten free friend had the same one and she really liked it too. Very fluffy, not dry! It was perfect! Now I wish I bought more! The place is very small inside. You basically order and take it to go. There are tables outside on their deck where you can have coffee and a donut! Prices are great too! And they have a great variety of flavors.

We stopped in on a Saturday morning and got some bagels as well as a pistachio muffin. The donuts looked really good but I had a hankering for a bacon, egg and cheese on a bagel and the one I had was delicious. The bagel wasn't as big as I'm used to in NYC but that was great because it was easy to eat and not overly doughy. The real star was the pistachio muffin. That was hands down the best muffin I've ever had. The inside was crowded with a group of older gentlemen holding court but we were able to get a table on the sidewalk to eat and watch the world go by. The ladies behind the counter couldn't have been friendlier. Just super service. It was really nice. Prices were reasonable as well. If you're in Norwich, you should definitely put this on your list.

The dough from the cream filled tasted very great, like it absorbed too much fryer oil. Yet it was also dry. The flavor of the cream was not the best either. The frosting on the maple bacon had a good flavor but again, the donut dough just wasn't as fluffy or fresh tasting as I'd have preferred. The staff were very friendly and there are lots of options. They seem to do quite a lot of business. There was a line and many people inside eating donuts and having coffee.
