Terrain Café is one of those places where the atmosphere is just as much a part of the experience…read moreas the food. It is located right next to their beautiful nursery and plant shop, and it's a really nice spot to grab lunch and then browse around for plants before or after. I ordered their crab flatbread, and the first thing that surprised me was how generous they were with the crab meat, mixed in with cabbage and charred asparagus. The asparagus had a nice char and flat and the cabbage added a nice crunch and texture. The flat bread itself was a little crunch which was interesting and I love how it wasn't overly heavy or rich. The flat bread came with a side salad with really fresh greens. It was so fresh and crunchy that my 9 year old son stole it from me and proceeded to devour the entire salad himself. Also, the setting is what really makes Terrain special. Being surrounded by plants and greenery, with the nursery and shop right next door, gives the whole experience a very relaxed and inviting feel. It's the kind of place where you can easily spend a little extra time after lunch wandering around and looking at all the plants and other items they have to offer. Our server was friendly although it was slow at times but we figured out it was the coffee bar that was slow. Overall, we really enjoyed our lunch there and would be happy to return again when we are in the area.

I absolutely loved Terrain. We stopped by on our way to Mystic and I loved that it was connected to…read morea huge whimsical plant store. There was a lot of indoor and outdoor seating, and we were seated indoors. They had unique brunch options and we ended up getting the shakshuka, fried avocado benedict, chocolate terrarium for dessert, and an icedsea salt caramel latte. We were given bread in a plant pot to start with honey lavender butter which was so cute. The latte was pretty good and not too sweet as a lot of caramel lattes frequently are. My bf enjoyed his shakshuka but he wished there were more slices of bread to have it with. My fried avocado benedict was unique, but I discovered the fried avocado was supposed to replace the typical enligsh muffin, which I feel like was still necessary. We ended the meal with the chocolate terrarium which was so cute and the perfect sweet treat to end the meal. I would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area!

They were fairly busy for a Sunday afternoon, which I think is always a great sign for a caffe. I ordered a black iced coffee. It was above average, but at least for my coffee tastes, I wouldn't say Pausa is a a craft-level coffee shop. In any event, given the mix of friendly service, atmosphere, quality coffee and good looking treats, I'm giving Pausa 4.5 Stars and rounding up to 5 Stars

The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and the whole place has such a cozy, relaxed vibe.

For some reason, this place has been on a steady decline for a while now. My wife and I have been…read morecoming here for years, but over our last several visits we've noticed the quality, value, and overall experience have continued to slip. Unfortunately, today's visit was the final straw, and we've decided we won't be coming back. Since changing the name from Studio Cafe to Tailored Home Cafe (located inside the interior design shop), something seems to have changed--perhaps new ownership or management. The portions are noticeably smaller, the food quality isn't what it used to be, and it's hard to justify paying Westport prices for an experience that no longer matches the cost. It's disappointing because this used to be one of our favorite spots, and we've visited well over 20 times over the years. I genuinely hope they can get back to what made them so successful in the first place, because we'd love to see them return to the quality that kept us coming back for so long.

They also don't use any refined sugar in their kitchen...Truly a great spot for healthy eats and drinks. Their popular 'no-tella iced latte' and the dairy free cold foam options are a must to try!

Their locations include: Darien, Westport, Cos Cob, New Canaan (CT) Rye Brook & Chappaqua (NY) & a few more opening up soon Key Features: DF/GF/Vegan options. Quiet spot to work and no line, quick to receive order. They have a great loyalty points system (text/phone sign up) and I have often gotten discounts or free beverages when ordering.

My go-to is their Moo Brews and their Lox bagel sandwich or a sausage egg and cheese. Their bagels are sourced from NY so they're really good. They also have great grab and go sandwiches and wraps. They have plenty of regulars and there's always people occupying the tables - great spot to get work done or to catch up with a friend. It's overall a great local business that any town would be lucky to have.

Their menu is packed with fun, creative options, which makes it hard to choose just one. I decided to try the drink of the day, "Raspberry fluff" I chose iced with oat milk. It was light, refreshing, and had just the right touch of sweetness without being overwhelming. While it wasn't my personal top pick, I still enjoyed it and could tell it was crafted with balance in mind. I'd definitely come back to try more of their drinks--there are so many tempting flavors, and this place feels like the type where you'll eventually find "your" go-to order.
