Pros: Beautiful space!! Coffee tasted good. Good array of pastries…read more Cons: Customer services can improve. No welcome greeting. Had asked Barista for an iced decaf latte with almond milk and specifically asked for it not to be too sweet. She handed me a hot latte, and latte was very sweet. Cost of a small latte was over $8.50, way overpriced compared to other local cafes. I really root for local businesses around Fairfield county. As prices rise in this economy, what's intangible is the experience each customer leaves with from a business. It's vital that these businesses make sure they people that are welcoming and have the ability to listen to their customers. Hoping this gets fixed.

They are very consistent, I have been a customer for about 10 years. I was surprised to see less than stellar rating, so decided to write my review.

"Why" I asked . "Our sterilizer is broken." "How long has it been broken?" "A few weeks." I realize that here in the wild outback of Darien Connecticut can be hard to get service on a piece of equipment because the technician has to ford rivers and cross mountains, but two weeks? The coffee? It was actually the best tasting one I've had at Neat so far. But it was in a paper cup. I didn't drive to Darien for a paper cup.

The menu has an incredible variety of options, and everything we've tried has been consistently delicious. Whether you're in the mood for a classic breakfast or something a little different, there's something for everyone. It's almost always busy, which speaks for itself. The service is worth the wait, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. We also love supporting this local, family-owned business with such a great history in the community. You can tell they genuinely care about both the food and their customers. Gabby and Mia are always friendly and attentive, regardless of how busy they are.

After reading Ridgefield Lifestyle's cover story, "The Art of Hospitality," I decided to return to…read moreRoss's Bread with renewed optimism and, naturally, a stopwatch. The article references the Savoy Hotel, Danny Meyer's hospitality group, "the pursuit of excellence," and repeated commitments to quality and consistency. So I thought perhaps, at long last, the espresso situation had been resolved. Reader, it had not. I ordered a Cortado to stay. "Would you like that in a mug for here or a paper cup?" An encouraging start. I then positioned myself beside the espresso machine like a wildlife documentarian returning to observe a rare but persistent behavioral phenomenon. The barista dosed the portafilter, then tamped the coffee while holding the portafilter in midair, applying what appeared to be approximately the amount of pressure required to test whether an avocado is ripe. He locked it into the machine and pressed start. Brown liquid immediately exploded from the spouts with absolutely no delay whatsoever. The shot was over in roughly four seconds. For those unfamiliar with espresso, this is generally considered suboptimal. The resulting Cortado tasted primarily of hot milk and faintly burnt coffee sadness. After two and a half confirmation sips, I quietly left the remainder on the counter and departed. At this point I no longer review Ross's espresso. I monitor it.
