Highly recommend FRESHCO! I'm in town visiting family and needed a break from all the heavy food. The owner freshly chopped most of the salad ingredients right in front of me while we engaged in a delightful, friendly conversation. Will definitely be back!

Chicken cutlet, crispy prosciutto, arugula, pesto mayonnaise

Best breakfast/sandwich place in Stamford! We got a BEC and a sandwich with chicken cutlet, crispy prosciutto, arugula and pesto mayo. Prices are reasonable and the owner is very welcoming. 10/10 recommend.

The food was fantastic and the staff (owner?) was super kind! Stop debating and just go!

Wow. What a find! I was here visiting a local friend from Boston, looking for a new bagel spot. Luckily we were not disappointed when we stumbled across FreshCo before taking the train to the city. The owner is super nice and welcoming, we loved her Justin Timberlake greatest hits playlist. She informed us that while she gets her bagels from village bakery (not a downside, they are always great) everything else is home made. Coffee was great from BonJo's and we each ordered a breakfast sandwich. Size was great, 2 eggs are included and the price was fair (~$5 for a sandwich). On our way out, the owner even gave us some jalapeño cheddar bagels to try for tomorrow! Definitely don't miss this spot.

Found this place through the app looking for a B.L.T for breakfast ( B.L.T's are my favorite!) Walked in the owner was so nice and so humble! Extra points for customer service . Very satisfied with my order, will be coming again soon (tomorrow lol) Be sure to leave a tip!!

Came here for the first time out of the blue this morning! Fafa (I apologize if I misspelled her name!!!) the owner was SO SWEET! Customer service: A++++!!!!! She told us that she makes her own coffee & iced tea ice cubes so that her homemade drinks don't get watered down! No other place goes the extra mile like that! The bagels didn't take long to come out. I got an onion bagel with egg whites, cheese, & hash brown! The first thing I noticed was the texture as I bit in. It has more of a bread-y texture! Still really good- not a bad thing at all! It's on the softer side! The bagel was packed with onion flavor & I want to try the jalapeño cheese bagel next! (Which means I'll definitely be back!!!!!) The hash brown was DELICIOUS! One of the best hash browns I've ever had. My boyfriend really enjoyed his breakfast sandwich as well! He got a sesame seed bagel with double egg, cheese & a hash brown! I can't wait to go back. Cute clean place & adorably sweet owner. This will definitely be my new bagel spot! Haven't found any good bagels in Stamford until today!!

Found this place on yelp while traveling. The locally sourced fresh food made me want to go and the friendly vibe, delicious homemade food and service makes me want to return. Our daughter and her friend loved the NY style bagel and the egg salad sandwich was so good I thought my own mother made it. My husband says the Tuscan chicken sandwich was delicious and very unique. The piece de resistance was the homemade coffee cake we savored after the meal. I hope we can return when we are on our way back through the area.

Food is yummy and always fresh.. the brisket and brown rice is yummy. The didn't have cauliflower and so they gave me yummy sweet potatoes along with my carrots. I love going in the summer months when it's warmer, that way I could bring my fur baby where they are more than welcome. The food is healthy and yummy for my tummy read more

What a little gem I found :) I've now visited a number of times and tried some different offerings. The first time I ordered a salad for lunch, and it was fresh and tasty. I would recommend calling ahead if you're coming for lunch, or just allowing a little extra time. This is a small business and it does get busy for lunch. Breakfast is great, and there are some healthy options. I like that i can get egg whites and tell myself I'm being good :) The first time I came for breakast, Fafa (sp?) was awesome and insisted we try the potato cones, since I have never had them before. Sometimes I go and grab a table, a coffee, and a sandwich to do some work on a Sunday. The owner is amazing--take the time to come in! read more

I came in for the first time because Village Bagels was closed and I desperately wanted a bagel with jalapeño cream cheese. I typed "bagels" in to Yelp, and FreshCo came up; it was close to my house so I thought I would give it a try. OH BOY, I AM SO GLAD I DID! At first I felt the service was a little slow, but when I got home I realized why. THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS! The owner is Persian they cook everything to order fresh, you can taste and tell the difference. I ended up ordering a breakfast burrito with feta cheese (they were out of bagels by the time I got there) and it was nothing short of superb. As I said, I could taste the difference. The prices are about $1-2 dollars higher than you would expect, but after coming, here I can see why, and it's absolutely worth it. FreshCo has secured a spot on my list, and next time I am craving a breakfast burrito, I take solace in knowing a San Diego style one is only 4 minutes away from me :) read more

The owner's priority is money, not people. I see her over-friendly to people who buy lots of food. I heard a customer say they're just buying a drink today and she seemed to question it. I bought a coffee and sat down for an hour while I was working on a paper (I am a student) and after just one hour when the place was empty aside from me she asked me if she can get me anything and when I said no she said well I'm taking up space and using her electricity and that I've already been here for a while. I felt uncomfortable and left soon after. read more

I've ordered delivery from here on a few occasions, but as of today will not ever order from here again. 2 out of 3 of my omelets came without home fries. Why offer and include in the cost if you're not going to deliver them? My recent order included avocado which was brown and inedible. If they didn't have fresh avocado I would have rather received a call offering an alternative. Bagels are always, always stale, like dry and 2 days old. read more

It feels hidden in the sense that you could drive right past it and miss it, but once you find it, it is absolutely worth it. There is parking out front which is a plus. Inside, it is exactly what you would expect from a classic mom and pop Italian deli. Small, warm, welcoming, decently lit, and clean. They also have a huge menu with tons of options, not even counting everything available at the deli counter. I took my time looking over the menu and the staff was patient while I decided. I ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese with black pepper on a wedge and a bacon, egg, and cheese lightly toasted on white bread. The wedge was the highlight. Big portion, very filling, and everything tasted fresh and high quality. It was cooked and put together really well. My only small critique is that the bread was very soft and the eggs were falling out a bit, but I also did not ask for it toasted so that may be on me. The bacon, egg, and cheese on white bread was good as well. The only downside was that it was very lightly toasted, almost not toasted at all, and it used bacon pieces instead of strips. Overall, this is an excellent local deli with quality food, generous portions, and a welcoming feel. I would definitely recommend stopping by, and I will absolutely be back.

"A good deli does not need to impress you. It just needs to show up when you need it."…read more Mama Carmela's is the kind of place that quietly fills that role in a town. It may not try to reinvent the sandwich, but it delivers something dependable. My girlfriend and I both ordered the Middlesex sandwich. It was solid and satisfying, built with good portions and the kind of ingredients you expect from a neighborhood deli. The bread held everything together well and the balance of meats and toppings made it an easy, straightforward lunch. Nothing overly fancy, but it gets the job done. Service was quick and efficient. Orders moved through the counter at a steady pace and the staff kept things running smoothly. It felt like a place that knows its regular crowd and understands that most people are stopping in for a reliable bite rather than a long dining experience. The ambiance matches that deli identity. It is casual, simple, and functional. A small local spot where people come in, grab a sandwich, and head back to their day. It has that comfortable neighborhood energy without trying to be anything more than it needs to be. Mama Carmela's earns three stars as a reliable deli.

Everything arrived cold, overcooked, and burnt. On top of that, it was salty but somehow still had no real flavor. I also asked for cheese and it was not added. Portions were smaller than expected for some of the items. We ordered one platter, two breakfast sandwiches, fries, and two drinks. The order included two eggs with home fries, rye toast with butter, bacon, and a sausage patty, plus a bacon egg and cheese on white bread and another on a hard roll. The hot chocolate was literally a cup of hot water with one Swiss Miss packet, which was surprising. My iced coffee came black with no cream included and it tasted burnt. Overall, the meal was not worth what we paid and most of it was honestly inedible. I really wanted to like this place because it has great reviews everywhere, so maybe this was just a really bad day for them. Still, based on this experience, I don't think we'll be ordering from here again.

Take out soup-typical for Jewish deli Price $$$$. NYC…read moreprices. Matzah Ball Soup "D" I wouldn't go back. It doesn't really have a great reputation and it's very expensive. I asked them about some jam that was on sale at Stop & Shop for five dollars and they wanted $10 for it. I started laughing. On top of everything else when I checked out it actually asked me if I wanted to add a tip. Pass. There's a great deli in Springdale that very reasonably priced. It has great food across the street from the little shopping mall with the laundry mat is.

I'm fathomed at the thought of one measly slice of ham, egg, and cheese costs $6…read more Hypothetically..let's just say each item which let's be realistic is not the price but let's say a roll was a dollar, an egg is a dollar, a slice of cheese is a dollar, and let's just say that measly slice of ham for argument sake is $1.50. Totaling to $4.50. And or course someone making it for you ok. Two and a half dozen eggs are $7.49, half a pound of ham is less than $6 not for boars head obviously I mean come on, the math is not adding up especially when I'm getting a product like this...in the picture the other half, you can't even see any Ham. Head to Fusaro deli down the road for same price and more enthusiastic service and way better sandwiches. This is my search, and my money spent for the right breakfast sandwich, and I rightfully earned my opinion.

Very good. Old school. Definitely going back! I love the old Italian guys sitting around talking in…read moreItalian.

I did purchase some pasta that I'm really excited to try! I ordered a sandwich and forgot the name sadly. It was ham, jalapeño cheese, roasted red peppers, and honey mustard. Boy, was it yummy! Ingredients are all fresh, and the roll is soft and delicious. Will definitely be back!

I'm going to start with the good…read more When I called to place an advance order, the guy on the phone was friendly. When I picked up the food, the kid at the counter was friendly and helped bring my order to the car. Now, I have to lay out the facts. This was the first time I've ordered food from A&S. I called to place my order based on the catering menu posted on their website. I wanted to order two stuffed breads, a panzanella salad and chicken scarp. Note that the website indicates, "Pricing of all of our items is subject to change [due] to constant fluctuations in costs..." The guy who took my order informed me that they no longer do stuffed breads. "Okay," I said and ordered a vegetable crudite platter on the fly since I wasn't anticipating that. "Oh yeah," the guy said, it is also $45 (not $30 that it says on the website). Begrudgingly, I said that's fine, as it was for a family Sunday afternoon dinner. Next, I ordered the panzanella salad. "We don't make that anymore." The guy informed me. I sighed and said, "Alright, how about a [small bowl] Caesar salad?" The menu listed it as $25 on the website. Lastly, I ordered the main event, the Chicken Scarpariello. Thankfully, they still made this and the half tray was still $60, like the website said. Fast forward to me picking up the food on Sunday. The kid at the counter shows me all of the items, Caesar salad w/ Caesar dressing, vegetable crudite with blue cheese dip and chicken scarp. "That'll be $148.60," he said. "Would you like a receipt?" YES. It didn't sit right with me how much everything cost (for 6 adults, mind you). I asked my wife to read me the receipt when I drove off. Included was a $4.73 'non-cash adj.' which I assume was me using my credit card (on a $140 ORDER). When I opened the food up, I really got angry. My $30 Caesar salad had zero croutons. It was solely lettuce and parmigiano cheese. Essentially, it was likely a 3-head bag of lettuce with cheese and dressing, for $30. Something I could have done myself for about $7 tops. Next, my $45 vegetable crudite platter had broccoli, red & yellow peppers, celery and cucumber with blue cheese. There was no spinach/artichoke dip as indicated on the website. Neatly presented, but it was $45 for veggies (and one, not two dips). Last, the menu indicates the chicken scarp is served over rice. When I opened the tray; SURPRISE, no rice. The food was tasty (specifically the chicken). But for what I paid (for mostly vegetables), I am so disgusted. Not only with A&S, but myself for agreeing to purchase the food in the first place. I have such disdain for this experience, I'm likely not going back. The guy taking the order admitted the website needed to be updated. But again, mostly I'm pissed at myself because I paid a lot for what I got in kind. The cherry on top was the line item on my receipt for using a credit card. I get that credit card companies charge fees, but it's 2023 and if you're going to nickel and dime someone for using a credit card, do it if it's under $10, not on a $140 order. Lesson learned. The problem with running a business this way, is you only can pull that ruse once, otherwise it's shame on me.

I've had the pleasure of visiting this establishment several times, and each visit feels like a warm welcome from family. The atmosphere is consistently inviting, making it a delightful experience. I must highlight a commendable incident when the credit card machine was temporarily down, and the owner graciously allowed me to return and settle the bill a few days later at my convenience. Parking has never posed a significant issue, as there is usually ample street parking available. The interior of the restaurant is impressively spacious, providing a comfortable and relaxed setting. Turning to the culinary offerings, I've sampled a variety of dishes, and while most are already delicious, a few could benefit from a slight tweak to elevate their flavors. On a couple of occasions, I noticed my bagels were a tad on the soggy side, which, although not a deal-breaker, was a noticeable detail. It's worth mentioning that I exclusively opt for pick-up and not delivery, making this observation a bit perplexing. Despite this minor hiccup, I wholeheartedly recommend this place. The outstanding customer service, an extensive menu featuring fresh and innovative items, and the willingness to experiment with new flavors set this establishment apart. It's a testament to their commitment to providing a memorable dining experience. I look forward to seeing how they continue to evolve and refine their offerings. read more

I run a local health club in Stamford. So I like to eat healthy. But I want it to taste good. So with my busy schedule Freshco is perfect. They allow you to create your own salad or chose from an assortment of fresh made healthy options. There on ober eats so you can get delivery. If you in the area you should definitely stop in. They have a bagel section that is second to none. read more
