    Inside mural

    What a great addition to downtown Norwalk. Spacious coffee shop, plenty of seating. The cortado was great, and everything is baked in house. The carrot cake was just ok but their croissants looked awesome.

    Found this cute cafe on a Sunday after dinner when everyplace else is closed. It's super cute and spacious and the coffees were excellent. We also had some cookies, the lemon blueberry was out of this world.

    Nice decor

    It's good to see a cafe open up right on West Ave in Norwalk. This area is getting developed with luxury apartments being opened and the clientele will benefit from Cafe's. This place is right on the main road, so parking has to be right on the street which can be challenging. Inside, it is well spaced out with a counter on the right and seating's spread across and I liked the wall art. The menu is not elaborate as they focus more on Coffee and Latte's, however the prices are pretty steep all around. Positives: Location, Coffee and Service I feel the entree's can a bit of a lift as there is potential.

    Sadly, not sure I'll go back. The people were friendly, the cafe offers a large space and plenty of seating to meet someone for a coffee or do some remote work. But this small iced coffee in the photo cost $8.53. A small iced latte is listed on their menu as $5.75. I inquired about the upcharge; the guy at counter said it's because I had a flavor and oat milk. I'm all set. Coffee was good but left feeling ripped off, I'll stick to my local go-tos.

    Iced Matcha Latte With Oat Milk

    Amazing!! I got an iced matcha latte with oat milk and the chicken arepas, and oh my goodness it was exquisite! Somehow the matcha was even more delicious than the matcha that I got in Japan! The prices are a bit steep, but it is so worth it for the excellent service and food. Even the space is beautiful. Very well designed and put together. Definitely recommend for any matcha lovers like me.

    Newer spot in Norwalk. Really delicious breakfast foods and coffees. There's a wide variety to choose from. The service was great and the decor was beautiful. Give it a try!

    I decided to come here for breakfast while I was in the area and I have no regrets at all! I'm in…read morelove 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!

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.
