I decided to come here for breakfast while I was in the area and I have no regrets at all! I'm in love with the food and service here! (Visited 3/11) Ambiance [4/5]: Minimalist style design, it's nice, Theres also pretty lighting and a good amount of seating with an open bar as well. Food: Trix latte w/ whole milk (seasonal): [4/5] Tastes like a bowl of cereal from a cup. Topped with whipped cream it's really delicious! Tastes like a cup of childhood. Theres a good anount of cereal in the cup alongside the ice so it feels like you get a good amount of sips before the drink is done. Other than that it's still pretty good nonetheless. Sin-A-Bun: [5/5] This is very delicious, it's a perfect mix of sweet and savory. The smokiness from the bacon surprisingly compliments the cinnamon roll buns. Good concept and executed perfectly. If there were an option i'd choose that over having it on the side. Surprisingly I didn't notice it on the side on the sandwich until I was half way through. Still delicious though. Challah french toast [5/5] Tasty and sweet. You can't go wrong with french toast. I added strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and Nutella drizzle (each topping is $3 extra). It was worth the price it was delicious. It came with a side of butter which compliments the sweetness of the toast and some syrup. I didn't use much of the syrup but it was still delicious when I did decide to use it! I wouldn't order this because for delivery because its one of those things that taste so much better fresh in front of you rather than waiting to he dropped off. Service: [5/5] Fast and efficient service! The restaurant works as a team. One man sat me, The middle eastern girl with the long sleeve black shirt took my order and checked on me, and the white boy with the arm tattoos and pen between his ear checked on me at times, and cleaned my table while the girl was busy. It's great to see everyone helping each other and not letting anyone suffer. I Loved it! Overall Cafe social, is a great restaurant to stop by if you plan on going to the mall. Not only is it a 8 minute walk but you're also given a great meal and overall greater experience. I see myself coming back here if I'm ever in norwalk looking for a quick bite! read more

I cant believe that a zillion years ago I wrote a review and it was not favorable!! This is my absolute most favorite breakfast place - all the drink concoctions and gorgeous presentation. The absolute delicious consistency of my special order prosciutto eggs Benny - best way to get rid of the Sunday scaries or at least hold them off for a bit. Love sitting at the bar best - thank you for always taking care of us read more

I was meeting my Yelp friend from California, and she chose this place to meet. As we walked in, we were greeted and seated immediately. The establishment was very clean and welcoming. It is definitely a good spot to hang out with friends and family. I ordered a glass of Prosecco, and I ordered the Mediterranean Omelet, which consisted of Egg whites, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Spinach, tomato, Onion, Feta Cheese, garnished with Dill and Scallions, served with house Arugula Salad and Pana De Casa Toast. The omelet was cooked well, but the Sun-Dried Tomatoes had an intense, concentrated flavor. The flavor was too strong, so I didn't enjoy the omelet. The Home Fries were cooked well, crispy on the outside, and seasoned well. I love the whole concept of the establishment because it gives off a modern and nostalgic vibe. The customer service was excellent, and the waitress was very attentive. I would definitely be back to try other items on the menu. read more

Loved this place! The decor, high ceilings and ambience were the perfect setting to meet my YE friend, Shanina, in person for the first time! Our server Ayana was lovely. She let us take our time ordering as well as sit there chatting for a few hours. The menu was a Greek Mediterranean flare serving breakfast and lunch only. We ordered: *Mango Ice Tea 5/5 *Prosecco 5/5 *Chicken Tuscan Pressed Sandwich w/roasted red peppers, provolone & pesto 4/5 *Kielbasa Omelette 4/5 Seemed like a great neighborhood place. A lot of regulars having lunch. ~kid friendly ~full bar menu ~baked goods ~outdoor patio in front ~serve breakfast & lunch ~street parking only read more

After a trip to the aquarium- we stopped in here for lunch. Fairly large menu to choose from. The place has a nice, cozy but trendy vibe. Service is attentive and food came out fairly quickly. A large menu of speciality coffees and cocktails that definitely looked interesting. I tried the avocado toast Benedict which was served with a side of sweet potato. The Benedict was a nice combo of flavors and filling. The sweet potato was meh and not fries so I would have preferred greens or real fries. My daughter got the pancakes and they were delicious! There was no dedicated kids menu but enough choices. read more

My friend brought us to Caffe Social. I am very pleased to say that my morning was spent well and savor-able. I was greeted by the kind staff and my food and drinks were brought with care. The food itself was great, my money was spent well, and the food was worth coming here. I was very satisfied and enjoyed the food and while enjoying the food I noticed the place itself is very cozy and has a very rustic-modern look to it. Glad to say that I will be coming back to try the other great things in the menu! read more

We stopped here because they allowed dogs in the outside seating area. Service was okay...sometimes great, but sometimes wouldn't come for a little bit. Mango lemonade was delicious!! Food was good, but somehow the bill escalated quickly. I wish they had a kids menu; and when I ordered a side of eggs, a side of bacon, and a side of sausage it ended up costing almost $30 (for a kid). So ultimately, I'm not sure if it was worth the cost. read more

Stopped by Cafe Social for their Father's Day brunch -- it was packed, which gave it a lively vibe. The food was solid; I had the egg wraps and tried one of their lavender drinks, both were really good. However, service was a bit off. We had to wait quite a while for milk, and by the time it arrived, the coffee had gone cold. The staff seemed overwhelmed and not very attentive, which took away from the overall experience. Good food, but they need to improve the service -- especially during busy hours. read more

Service was good. Wish parking was not metered. Paid $3.00 for 2 hrs for parking. Food was presented beautiful and tasted yummy.

came here with my mom and my sister after stoppping at 2 different places beforehand that had long waits because it was sunday monring brunch hours. we were seated almost immediately which was wonderful but that was the quickest the service was throughout the whole time we were there to be frank. nothing really stood out to me on the menu but I did get the pumpkin smores cocoa which stood out to me the most because I am the biggest pumpkin spice fan and I also wanted hot chocolate which was great. but then I took a sip and probbaly two more and then no more after that because it tasted like diabetes in a cup. but I guess I should have expected that if I was getting an already sweet hot chocolate, whipped cream, marshmallow fluff, and drizzled pumpkin sauce so it's nobody's fault really but mine (I guess). I got the basic batch dish that comes with your choice of eggs, home fries and toast. probably the cheapest plate which is like 11 bucks but then I asked for bacon and it was like an extra 6 bucks? whatever honestly as long as the bacon was good, right? wrong, because the bacon was bland. everyone loves crispy bacon but mine was crispy in the way you would say "burnt to a crisp" type of crispy and not bc it was burnt but because of how DRY it was. and do not let the pictures fool you, I am very talented at taking pictures so the food might look good in the photos but I am telling u, it was not that great in my mouth. you might be saying that I could have just made this plate at home to my liking, but also, if you are cooking this meal to serve to someone else, I think you would at least try to make it good? maybe I am biased because I was having a rough morning and it might have affected my liking to the food, but it is now 9pm when i am writing this and I am still upset with what I ate so maybe I am not biased at all. I asked myself "how could someone mess up bacon?" but what I really should have been asking myself is, "how could someone mess up TOAST" the toast on my plate also came with probably the whole stick of butter spread on it. the same way you would squeeze a sponge full of soap and water when you are washing the dishes was the same way it felt when I picked up the soaked toast to put in my mouth. and do not get me started on the home fries. when I ordered home fries I was expecting regular pan fried soft fries (as one normally would when they eat home fries) but of course, the home fries were not normal home fries but rather french fries just shaped as home fries. now, I was not in the kitchen watching them make the home fries so I could be wrong but these fries had the consistency of DEEP fried fries NOT pan fried. but just as much as I could be 100% wrong, these "home fries" were also 100% wrong. the only good thing on this plate were the eggs Maybe if I hadn't ordered the culinary equivalent of a participation trophy, I wouldn't be in this mess :/ read more

Constantly saw this place in my instagram feed and finally decided to check it out! I loved all of their options for Valentine's Day drinks whether it was a latte, hot chocolate or cocktail! The Benedict was really good and loved the side salad that was with it. The gyro was unbelievable! The meat was extremely tender and we never thought of a gyro as a breakfast item. 10/10 would go back just for that! Staff was extremely friendly and the cafe had this cozy at home feeling read more

"Through the long lonely nights, she filled my sleep Her body softly swaying to that smoky beat Down on Mainstreet" (Bob Seger) On Main Street in South Norwalk, you'll find the Caffe Social, a very cool coffee shop with a hipster vibe. They have a big menu of breakfast choices like eggs, pancakes, waffles, plus sandwiches, salads, snacks, pastries and more. But the real stars of their show are the coffee drinks - hot and cold lattes, expressos, chais, all sorts of chinos, teas, hot chocolates, and a ton more. The interior is very eclectic with a mix of rustic board siding, upholstered walls, blue paint, exposed aluminum HVAC ducts, a big blackboard column listing the drink specials, trinkets and wall hangings all over the place and behind the bar. One very cool feature was a display of the ubiquitous white plastic coffee cup lids that were hand painted into smiley faces, superhero logos, flags, flowers and more. They also have a very nice outdoor seating area with umbrellas to sip your summertime cold brews. We stopped in for a snack and beverages yesterday and ordered a Toffee Nut Latte ($8) with espresso, toffee nut syrup, milk, whipped cream, and Heath Bar crumble, a Pistachio Cold Brew Bliss ($8.50) with pistachio mocha cold brew, pistachio cold foam, and crushed pistachios, an Herbal Tea ($4.50), and a Cinnabun $7.95). My Pistachio Cold Brew was delicious with a deep coffee flavor, and plenty of pistachio syrup and pistachio pieces in my glass. If you're looking for a fun breakfast or brunch place, and are a caffeine lover, you'll definitely enjoy your visit to Caffe Social. read more

The food was okay but my drink was absolutely disgusting. Chai is my go to drink anywhere I go, it's very hard to mess up but they managed to do that. I explained to my server Chris that I usually never return drinks but if I could please exchange it for something different because of how disgusting it was . He told me I'd still have to pay for it since I drank some of it..... as you can see I had two sips lol. Make sure to telepathically try your drinks if you want to be able to exchange them. Service 0/10 read more

Caffe Social - My disgusting dirty chai - American Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

Have passed by this restaurant numerous times during my jaunts in Norwalk. Finally decided to try it today with some friends! Walked in around 2pm, ordered around 2:10pm, 3 out of 4 of us got our food an hour after ordering, while the 4th got her burger when we were mostly done, about 10-15 minutes after that. My burger, ordered medium, came well done. After a few bites and with my intense hunger mostly subsided my shroom burger just tasted okay/not cooked how I wanted it, the fries were okay, nothing special, for $26 all in very unimpressed. The burger felt like a mass produced previously frozen pre-shaped generic meat puck. My friends turkey burger barely had any sauce on it and when inquiring about procuring more of the burger's sauce was informed it would be an extra charge. cmon, the burgers are already $20 and you're gonna charge her for extra sauce even though she waited an hour and fifteen minutes for her food? The service wasn't bad but it would have been a lovely gesture and honestly the bare minimum to bring extra sauce without up-charging. As well as to give us eta's on our food, we could have enjoyed the art fair while we waited an hour for our food. After our order no one checked in on us for the entire duration until our long awaited food came out. The cherry on top, when we got the bill, it had the incorrect price on it for my friends' iced dirty chai, even though they ordered the regular one without an extra shot of espresso. It was supposed to be $8 but the bill came to $10 and they only fixed it after we informed them we ordered it regular, no additions. Some pretty shady practices with the up charges for things we didn't ask for. Heads up to check your bill and confirm with the server if there will be any up charges for changes/additions and how much they will be. My friend added a hash brown and chipotle Mayo to her sandwich and it was an extra $5. See Sarah R's review for the receipts. They can only split the bill in half onto two cards and on the weekends they add a 20% service charge without putting that anywhere in writing. After we finished and paid I spoke to the manager and she apologized and explained that they didn't expect to be so busy because of the art fair. I heard her, it would have been cool to let us know that realistically we'll be waiting over an hour to eat from ordering. The whole experience felt underwhelming even though the ambience is cool and the music was good. Seeing as I'm so infrequently in Norwalk the offer for a 50% off next visit, while kind, is not something that's going to be on my radar. read more

This is such a cute place! I came here after I went to the aquarium with friends and honestly had a blast. The environment and service were fantastic, the food was delicious and varied and I absolutely loved my caffe social lemonade.

This a very cute and busy cafe and I was excited to try it. I came here to grab a bite after a day at the aquarium my daughters. I forgot they close early and we got there around 3:15pm(Saturday) they were busy inside and we were told kitchen closes at 330 and place closes at 4pm. I asked the girls if they wanted to stay and they said yeah that we could order something quick like a sandwich and juice or coffee. So we were seated. We noticed the server were going around bringing checks and to go containers to neighboring tables and just placing it on the table. She then hovered over our table waiting for our order and it was uncomfortable. We have 45min till closing and 15 for kitchen but we felt we were being rushed and like the servers wanted everyone out as if the had a place to be. We were going to order something quick to make and eat but we didnt like the rush vibe and cleaning tables and putting away chairs even tho place was not yet closed. We left, however, I definitely want to come back and try the food and drinks. Im rating it based on ambiance and i noticed the tables had some yummy looking food and drinks. It sucks that our server made us feel like it was an inconvenience for us to be there 45min yo closing time. read more

Caffè Social is a great place for brunch in SoNo. They do tend to get crowded during peak brunch time and they don't take reservations, so I recommend coming early. The food here is fresh and tasty.

This is a popular local breakfast/brunch spot. Service was prompt and very friendly. There is space outdoor to dine and inside is very cute and cozy, with counter space to dine at as well. They have fun brunch style cocktails and coffee beverages and an equally cool food menu. I got the apple cider donut breakfast sandwich, the special of the day, and we also got the greek style eggs benny. My husband could not stop raving about how delicious his eggs Benedict was. He is now a convert! My donut sandwich came with tater tots and a knife to eat my sandwich. I tried to hold it and eat it, but alas, I had to use that knife to continue my mission. Great food. Good job Norwalk! read more

Caffé Social is a breakfast and lunch café that opened in Norwalk, Connecticut in spring 2017. It was founded by sisters Elpida, Glika and Ioanna Hatziioannidis. They three sisters learned the tricks of the restaurant trade by working in their uncle's establishment, Jordan's Restaurant & Pizzeria, in Norwalk. The sisters had a dream of opening their own café with a welcoming environment, tasty food, and energizing coffees, teas and drinks. They soon made their dream a reality after securing a location in SoNo. The menu consists of multiple egg dishes, omelettes, benedicts, pancakes, waffles, French toast, burgers, sandwiches, wraps, salads, coffees, teas, and all sorts of breakfast and brunch cocktails. My family and I recently visited Caffé Social while we were in Norwalk. We visited the Maritime Aquarium earlier in the day and afterwards we were interested in stopping somewhere for brunch. After doing a quick search on Yelp, we saw that Caffé Social had great recommendations. It was very hot that day, so we asked to be seated inside in the air conditioning. After looking over the cocktail menu, my wife and I decided to get some mimosas. She ordered the "Cotton Candy" (rosé prosecco, cotton candy) and I ordered the "Mo-Cello" (prosecco, limoncello, lemonade). These cocktails were perfect for us; so refreshing! For food, my wife had the "Avocado Toast Benny" (two poached eggs on pana de casa, lemon avocado spread, raw tomato, topped w/ hollandaise, bacon bits & scallions, served w/ sweet potato home fries), our son had the "Sweet & Savory" (smoked bacon, sausage, fried egg, American cheese, maple syrup on homemade waffle), and I had the "Italiano" Panini (chicken cutlet, prosciutto, pepperoni, provolone, roasted red peppers & pesto mayo) with a side of Mediterranean potato salad. This food was absolutely out of this world! We had a truly exceptional brunch experience and we look forward to returning! read more

Today I want to caffe social for the first time. First thing to know? The parking lot around the corner is free if you are coming here. How fabulous they arranged that for their customers. Please Know you must have your license number so they can put it in their computer when you get there. That way no ticket.. The place is absolutely lovely, lively and the staff is completely awesome. It was Sunday, it was Noon so yes it was very crowded. My name was taken by one of the wonderful owners Glika and when she saw I had a cane offered me a seat in the corner to wait. My little group was seated in about 25 minutes. the menu is extensive and whoever is in the kitchen is amazing. you cannot imagine the wonderful food that awaits and the coffee is outstanding. the drinks that passed by looked really good as well. (Actually everything that came by looked outstanding.. Is it somewhat noisy? yes ..a small price to pay if you come at a peak time..our waiter was wondeful and the food was delicious.. what more could you ask for.. read more

Food was so good. Prices are a little high, but it's worth it. It was very crowded so there was a bit of a wait.

Best breakfast around! Cool vibe. Dog friendly outside. You really can't go wrong. Their coffee drinks are exotic and dessert centric. Unfortunately they are not a third wave coffee shop, so don't expect to find an Ethiopian pour over. It's mostly dark roast, so I'd suggest an espresso style drink. French toast is a spectacular treat to share read more

I went there for lunch before catching a movie on AMC so no eight. The restaurant was lively with lots of people enjoying their food and company. It was a very happy ambience. The waiter was super nice and helpful and recommended the most delicious spicy hamburger I've ever tasted in my entire life. It was delicious. I ordered a blueberry mimosa, which was also delicious. While I was there, I shopped for some desserts to take home to enjoy later on. And I also purchased a couple of Harney and sons herbal teas. Egyptian chamomile and tropical green. I can't wait to try them. I'm sure I will not be disappointed. I'm definitely going back there again soon. It's a great place to bring the family for breakfast and lunch. I'm not sure if they serve dinner though you'd have to look at that up. I left there 100% satisfied and happy and move on to see the movie. I hope you enjoy as much as I did. read more
