The good thing is there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating so no issues finding a table. Everything we ordered was delicious, mascarpone egg and cheese sandwiches one with added ham and two different breads: herb Italian and a bagel. But, my absolute favorite was the Neapolitan cookies. I loved buying those when I lived in NYC 25 years ago. Haven't found at any Italian bakery since then now that I live in NC and it was a nice surprise! Coconut and almond cookies were really good. If I could offer any advice, have lavender, pistachio and other syrups for the lattes :)

The pastries are just incredible - I recommend the blueberry scone, cheddar and bacon (or chive) biscuit, the pistachio caramel scone, any of the seasonal fruit items and the monkey bread. The menu is extensive, everything is very fresh and you can tell they use high quality ingredients. My go-to is the California breakfast sandwich... customize it with multigrain bread, add bacon and arugula for the best breakfast sandwich in CT! This morning I grabbed a Cobb salad for lunch from the grab-n-go fridge - a welcome new addition. Don't miss this place.

The banannas, blueberreis and strawberries were so fresh - even being on mid winter here! Fast and lovely service. The Cafe has a few seats inside - the day we were there a good steady stream of people coming in and out. In summer or warmer weather outdoor seating as well. A few parking spots side of restaurant but also easy street parking!

Everyone was so friendly and helpful - we grabbed a table near the door for lunch after a short wait - during which we perused the very packed and tempting pastry case! We had a few different sandwiches all of which were fresh and delish.

Will definitely come back here again and again.

Break'n Bread Sandwich Shoppe delivered in every way. When you walk in the front door you see the chalkboard menus, pastries lined like trophies, the warm, hometown vibe made us feel instantly welcome. Sarah, the owner's cousin, greeted us like family and clearly proud of what is being built here! I ordered The Godfather, "a sandwich you can't refuse". Perfectly stacked, rich with flavor, and balanced like it was crafted by a culinary consigliere. My wife's Car's Caprese was fresh and vibrant, while our friend's Chicken Parm vanished before my eyes as it was unwrapped. In a world full of forgettable chains, this place stands as proof that passion still matters. Break'n Bread isn't just a shop, it's a reminder of what real food and real people can create together.

They have only a very small selection of middle eastern food, the rest of the menu was donuts and deli sandwiches. The donuts looked great also, but I was only interested in the middle eastern food. Great little place to stop. It's a very plain little deli restaurant, no esthetics. The staff were two teenagers, I'm guessing family ownership. They were polite and got the job done. I would definitely eat here again when passing through.

When you enter there is a good sized dining room followed by a breakfast and lunch menu. The front cases display a variety of donuts and some baked goods. There is also a refrigerated case displaying freshly made hummus etc that they not only use to make their menu items but that you can purchase to take home similar to How you would at a deli. Once you decide on your order it is placed at the counter. You are able to sit down and the order is brought out. After eating you pay for your meal at the counter. This is a casual and relaxing dining experience with lots of flavor that you do not want to miss. "Now this is what Colchester needs."

We looked online for local restaurants to dine at during our stay. Neither my girlfriend or I have ever gone to a French restaurant, so we decided on The Metro Bistrot, due to all the fantastic reviews. I called and spoke with Jay (chef and owner) a week prior to make the reservation. We took an Uber from the hotel, as it's BYOB and brought a couple of bottles of wine. This was a Saturday before a big snow storm the following day. I think due to this, the restaurant wasn't as busy as usual. We ended up being seated in the back room all to ourselves. It was a very nice room that had about 4 tables. Stephanie, our server was an absolute delight! Turns out she works for the hotel as well and she's the one I spoke with when we booked the room. She opened our Beaujolais for us and brought some wine glasses. She kept the bottle chilled in the fridge for us. She went over some of the specials being prepared that night and was able to make some nice recommendations. My girlfriend ended up with the special seafood soup special with a lobster stock as a base. I ordered the escargot. Both were absolutely fantastic. She kept our bread basket filled with wonderful fresh warm bread to soak up all the goodness of the soup and escargot. My girlfriend ordered the boar shank and I ordered the stuffed quail that was stuffed with foie gras and pate. The boar meat fell right of the bone and was some of the most tender meat we've ever had. Both dishes were phenomenal. Jay stopped by our table to chat. He's super nice and even took some photos with us. We ordered 3 different kinds of cheeses prior to ordering dessert. All three we ordered were great! Stephanie also brought us a bowl of crackers to go with the cheese. For dessert, my girl had the cheesecake with an oatmeal crust and fresh berries. I'm not usually one for sweets, unless it Crème Brûlée, so I opted for the Boursin stuffed Shrimp, forgetting it wasn't an appetizer, but a main entree. It was out of this world! All the fish Jay brings in are always fresh and NEVER frozen. He even poured me a small glass of some white wine and it went so well with the shrimp. We cannot wait to go back. The prices are very reasonable and the service and food is second to none. Cheers!

One chef and one server. It is byob and the menu isn't extensive. But it is mostly local and classic French. It is accessible and not pretentious. A place where the passion for French cooking is designed for locals. The food is interesting and has a casual vibe. Like a small village in France where farmers and artisans come. The space is small and seatings limited, so by the end of the night you can meet new friends if you want to. I would encourage you to bring an extra bottle of wine and share.
