Friendly staff , it's a very cute cafe, it's spacious , has so much potential to be kept nicer what a shame & it's also very priceyyy for decent food not great . What is questionable is the way the food is being stored & kept, the deli area was a bit dirty not very appealing to the customers eye, please wear gloves as well when handling other people's food, I wish I could give this place a better review but it needs some cleaning up to do. read more

Marilyn and her team did a fabulous job catering the food for my niece's bridal shower brunch. The house-smoked salmon alone was worth the trip from Virginia and the presentation of all items was so pretty. Can't thank Harbor Harvest enough for making a perfect party! read more

3 stars. Would give 5, but I have to be honest seems to be a lot of changes. I've been a customer for years of this local husband and wife establishment as it is in my neighborhood. I am my wife have loved the chicken salad for years . It was our favorite and whenever we had company we would get it. However, I went in last week and I was very disappointed as it seemed to be a completely different chicken salad. Slopped in mayo and very heavy with onion and now red onion and pepper. Also seems oily and different chicken. Used to never be like that. Please go back to your roots. read more

I used to find this spot useful when I needed items in a pinch. I also used to love the coffee bar but the options and service has just continually gone down. The deli is the WORST part about Harbor Harvest. Someone let me know when the balding angry man no longer works there, as he is the rudest deli guy I've encountered in my whole life and the final reason why I will not be returning. So much wasted potential in a great neighborhood spot. read more

I had high hopes for the sandwich, but unfortunately the bread tasted stale and the chicken was too tough. Very good quality products sold in the store-- cool to check out-- but with very high prices. This visit was actually late 2023- the lady at the cashier was very sweet. Now I don't like to complain much about service but it was creepy and rude.. The guy at the counter screamed at me, 'what the hell do you think you are, ordering at a Chinese restaurant?!'. !! read more

We had an amazing time at Harbor Harvest, everything we ate was delicious and they such a great atmosphere, service and selection of groceries. I love their sustainable focused mission as well. Can't wait to go back! I am dying to know the secret to the Turkey Brine read more

Harbor Harvest - Secret garden networking event at Harbor Harvest Norwalk Connecticut - Farmers Market Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

Worth a visit with an eclectic and quality selection - small scale but genuine, local and some nice surprises if you look carefully. Hands on owners and sweet staff. We'll be coming back. read more

Loved being able to sit in the back with picnic tables , my grandchild was able to run around and u can bring ur dog n close the gate! BUT i ordered an egg cheese croissant and they gave My daughter and i almond Croissants. They either didn't realize it or didnt think it mattered but it was a weird taste to have eggs on that. Then my daughters mil had a really hard stale roll for her egg sandwich. This place is sweet and nice staff but should not be portrayed as a farm to table restaurant. read more

Great sandwiches, freshly made. Quality ingredients. Coffee and tea products freshly made. Very cute small market with unique items. Will return. Steady stream of customers. read more

Hidden gem in a neighborhood I always thought was ripe for being cute and it's finally morphing into what it was meant to become. The true gem, imo, are the freshly baked treats available by the on site baker. Delicious, fresh and inventive. At this point, I'm so over any baked treat that's not made fresh and with love. You are guaranteed to get both in these treats. It's a sweet little market - they did a great job renovating it. They seem to have a good selection of staples including upscale products. I enjoyed seeing Arethusa products available. At the back is a deli where you can get sandwiches. It's pretty meat centric at the moment but they say they'll be adding more non meat items, which is great. But for now, I'm happy to come for the pastries. You can rent an electric bike out front, which is a great idea. I didn't venture out back to see the seating but there's a sweet table in the front. This is a place that'll encourage Westporters to cross the line. Lol... Seriously, the neighborhood is so ripe to become a sweet little West Coast type spot that I'd love to frequent and support. read more

We purchased the steak on special and it was delicious on our grill. The staff was helpful and informed about the refrigerated items--eggs from various places including Lancaster PA. That's what we bought--home state loyalty. We will be back for our weekend lattes. read more

Sandwiches are great and the staff is always friendly. The area our back is nice to sit and enjoy your sandwich on a nice day.

This place was recommended to me by a local when I was in town visiting for the day. Got a sandwich from the deli and a coffee as well. Super delicious! Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful as well. Didn't disappoint! read more

Harbor Harvest - the front of the restaurant - Farmers Market Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

Used to be an amazing place. Fresh meats, seafood, poultry, shell fish, fresh vegetables daily, fresh pies and baked goods. It has gone down hill. Case has a little bit of meat fish and lots and lots of prepared foods not looking that tasty anymore. Baked goods mostly muffins and cookies bought two loaves of french bread both stale. Always saw the two owners but not much any more. Latin chef gone and the older grumpy guy remains. Staff so so read more

Quite literally got laughed at and mocked on the phone while trying to order a sandwich. I know you're working at a deli, but this was the worst customer service I've ever had in Norwalk and I love it here so much! definitely not worth giving such a rude man your business. read more

Great neighborhood spot when you're in a pinch. Great sandwiches but the deli man as others have mentioned could not be more rude and unpleasant. Makes us not want to return back but we still go in occasionally cause we want to support the local shop! Wish he could just be a bit nicer to patrons. read more

I came in yesterday for the first time- bought a few things of cheese and crackers. When I got home and opened the cheese - both were covered in mold and expired. I figured the crackers were at least salvageable but no- stale. All 4 items I purchased were inedible- a waste of $30 ! read more

My family loves this store ! Best prepared food in town, the chef is incredible Not to be missed read more

Just "found" this treasure in East Norwalk on Cove Ave. I feel as though I've uncovered a rare gem. This privately owned grocery/deli/meat and fish market is a must visit for those who are look looking for the freshest produce, fruits, meats and dairy products. The owners Marilyn, Ernie and Bob couldn't be more gracious and helpful. I admit that my go-to grab and go was one of the bigger stores on Westport Ave but that's no longer the case. The products at Harbor Harvest are carefully displayed and the produce looks as though they've just been picked. Had a lovely conversation with Marilyn who told me that if I didn't find what I was looking for she would try to get it for me. Try that at one of the big stores! And it's great to see Terry who goes out of her way to help and give information on new products. There's a lovely coffee bar with seating and tables outside on the patio. So inviting. And don't get me started on the chocolates and desserts items. This market is wonderful in so many ways. I love shopping at locally owned stores with people who greet you when you enter and are truly grateful for your patronage. If you haven't yet visited Harbor Harvest, what are you waiting for? read more

Kind staff, very walkable, great outdoor seating, and tasty coffee.

Unique & local specialty market! The best NITRO coffee on tap. Local beers, produce, meat. read more

I noticed the store some months ago - and looked for info about them, and have been looking forward to their opening - IT'S HAPPENED What a great idea - on so many fronts (water, environment, healthy, convenient, quality, ...) Think this is going to be a phenomenal success, and lead by example for others. It looks like there's room in back for some outdoor seating, which would also be great - and hopefully I'll be able to go there with my Golden Retriever for healthy doggy snacks I'm sure it was a challenge to open during these times - but with proper safety precautions, and great confidence that you are taking them, this is probably the safes place to get some essentials and fresh produce - meat too! Hat's off! Best of Luck read more

Wanted to try a new place for food and gave this a shot. Let's just say I'm glad I did. I got the special steak tacos and it was delicious! Also have a cute little coffee section inside. I'll be trying their breakfast next time! read more

I'm a local and so pleased to support this fine establishment which contributes greatly to our neighborhood. Just one of many examples - the homemade seafood chowder is simply the best around. Continued success Marilyn & Bob. read more

Full espresso bar called 'Harbor Joe' with coffee by bonjo roasters. Had a tasty iced latte with some oat milk. This is easily the best coffee shop in Norwalk. Huge backyard patio in the shade that you'll have to seek to find. Comfy and rustic but flavorful. They'll add a few drops of CBD into your drink, if that's what you're into, as well. read more

Absolutely PERFECT! Had the opportunity to host a small event for my birthday in the back and I could not have be happier. The setting is so charming and intimate. My guests are still raving about the food. The staff was involved the entire time. Marilyn was so helpful and her husband ruled the grilled!! They had a number of surprises for me and my guests. I truly feel this venue & staff made for a successful party. Thank you again and I will definitely be back !! Market inside offers a number of organic and local options. Menu is forever changing !! Please do yourself a favor and stop in. read more

This place is such a discovery! I have been to so many markets over the years. As I became more acquainted with East Norwalk, I found Harbor Harvest. The mix of charm and amazing food with amazing people, all in a lovely seaside community... you get the picture! Harbor Harvest is our go to place for family dinner, almost every night. read more

Underwhelming, overpriced food. They had a special for French onion soup, but it turned out to be out of a self-serve pot (sacrilege if you ask me) served with very stale, cold bread with some cheese melted on it. Sandwiches were edible, but priced at $15 each with no sides...a little steep for some sliced up shrimp on a soggy hot dog roll. The seating area had papers stacked behind it - why is the messy office area part of your shop? Deli glass needed a serious wipe down as it was dirty. Two stars because they have some cool products in the shop, but otherwise would have just been the one. Not somewhere I'd like to return. read more

The sandwiches here are awesome! Picked up a breakfast sandwich and a deli sandwich for lunch. You can get beer to go in a growler and there's a great selection of craft beers in cans. Grab a fresh made cookie at the register too. If you walk or bike, they give you a 10% discount too. read more

This place is amazing! We got 4 full pieces of filet mignon from them for xmas last year! If you are looking for organic grass fed meat and friendly go here! read more

My wife and I are thrilled to write the following review: Harbor Harvest is more than a store or even catering service - they went out of their way to make our rehearsal dinner in August 2016 simply perfect. The owners, Bob & Marilyn and Ernie, were incredibly sweet, thoughtful, and wonderful hosts. They offered us a lovely tasting ahead of our event; they all went out of the way to make even our tasting special. During our rehearsal dinner, the food was delicious, and the decor was exactly what we had hoped for and more. My family and friends can not stop raving about the ambiance and tasty food. I can't thank them enough and recommend them for any private event! read more

Really nice local place and everyone always has a smile Extremely good sandwiches & a decent amount of coffee selections There is enough market like stuff that if you forget something & you are in a pinch they probably have it read more

The guys in the kitchen are amazing! I felt like I had 3 personal chefs who genuinely are passionate about cooking. They made me a breakfast sandwich that wasn't even on the menu and offered to sample their latest creations. Awesome spot to grab breaky and a coffee!! read more

Really cute coffee and deli. We went before heading out on the water for some breakfast. Everything was great and everyone working there was friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back more! read more

I was really blown away by everything this market had to offer, since discovering I've been back as often as possible. The lunch specials are phenomenal! Using fresh and local produce is always a plus. The craft beer section is very well curated and the nitro coffee station is my go to in the mornings. Couldn't be happier to have this spot in the neighborhood! read more

I was so happy when this establishment changed hands! What has come to Cove Avenue and this neighborhood, which is void of any grocery shopping possibilities, is a charming, family-run business that is bringing not only fresh and healthful options for food but a deli, prepared foods and cooking classes all under one lovely roof. Great job! So far everything I have purchased here from dry goods to deli meat to aged beef and fresh seafood are of the finest quality. I don't even find that the prices are that prohibitive, considering the find quality! There is always an abundance of fresh produce--vegetables and herbs - - grown on premises. It's an inviting and welcoming store and I for one am thrilled to have them in the neighborhood. Please come and check them out and support them so that they do well and stay and prosper. It will only benefit all of us in the East Norwalk Community if you do! read more

Very much like this place. Good vibes even though they may be trying a bit hard, which is ok. Have only had a couple sandwiches but they all were great. Sort of a modern throwback to a simpler better time. We have come back several times even though we live 20 minutes away. That says something! read more

Love this organic market. Its convenient and has the right amount of fresh produce needed. The chicken cutlets are a favorite. They carry Wave hill bread which is a huge bonus. Prices are reasonable for organic produce. Love the micro greens too. I hope the community will support this neighborhood gem! read more

Best place around for local produce and groceries! Also best lunch specials, wraps, sandwiches, and soups around. Everything is made to order or made fresh that day! The tuna salad is the best I've ever had! Highly recommend if you are in the Norwalk area! read more

I visited Harbor Harvest today to pick up a sandwich for lunch, and the place is pretty amazing. I ordered the Tugboat sandwich on a grinder, and the sandwich is so big I saved the second half for dinner! They have groceries, fresh fruits and vegetables, lots of local beers and even growlers! The staff was very nice, and the prices are very fair. I'm going to make this one of my weekly stops! read more
