The place is adorable and comfortable and the bakery offerings and coffee offering are vast. However the staff was somewhere between cold and unwelcoming and they don't serve food 2 hours before closing which multiple customers remarked on while I was there. Maybe list it online someplace? There were some packaged food and chips available but nothing fresh or warm. Also the girl working the counter would do so well with a simple smile or inviting word. I'll try it again once more before moving on. read more

Marty's Cafe - Counter and bakery items. - Cafes Near Me - Washington, Connecticut

We stopped by for a late lunch this afternoon. There was lots of pleasant seating outside and we took one of the picnic tables. My husband had a chicken and feta cheese panini and I had a chicken and avocado wrap. Both of us took the house chips. We ordered inside and took a number out to our table and they served us. We both loved our sandwiches. Not only great food but it pleasant environment. This is definitely a repeat experience. Next time we'll get some of the beautiful desserts or ice cream. Hard to resist today. read more

The food was less than mediocre. They're so called short rib. Sandwich was did not even have hardly any meat in it. When we requested meat they brought out a few slices of microwaved something flavorless very disappointing. The pastrami is microwaved store deli meat on dried bread. Horrible. read more

Delicious food, vegetarian options available. A nice place to come after hiking after Hidden Valley. You can bring your dogs, too, inside or out. Be prepared for a long wait, however. read more

A neighborhood place that makes one smile. Cozy and delicious lattes and desserts that hit the spot.

My daughter and I came here as part of our Gilmore Girls road trip. It was recommended on one of the itinerary sites. It took close to an hour and a half for our food to arrive. Then when we got it, my burger was ice cold and the cheese on my daughter's grilled cheese was clearly burnt. I asked for a refund, which they were happy to provide. So happy in fact they gave us $20 more than I paid. I called her back over and she just shook her head. She was lovely. Unfortunately, this was a really really bad experience. read more

Mediocre Reuben sandwich and distracted server who was more interested in texting than helping me. This place could be so much better with a little training in the front and the back of the house. read more

Stopped for lunch on a Sunday. Had 2 very good sandwiches and an ok iced tea. Very fair prices.

Super cute spot! The food was good, but nothing spectacular. Employees were very friendly! I liked the modern decor inside and the variety of seating options (I sat on a couch while others in my party were in chairs at the same table). The pastries looked really yummy, but we didn't try any. Prices very reasonable! read more

I had been by here a billion times...and had never tried this place. BF likes the Gilmore Girls so in the process of going on the "where I grew up" tour through the area, I took him here since allegedly Luke's Diner is modeled after Marty's, though I don't agree with that at all. (The Depot being the basis for Stars Hollow however, I do agree with) Luke would never have wifi or such foo foo things as paninis. ;) That said, I very much enjoyed my chicken and goat cheese panini. The shop was very cute & comfortable so we hung out for a while and just enjoyed our lunch before exploring Hickory Stick afterwards. read more

Marty's Cafe - Cobb Salad & Potato Bacon Soup - Cafes Near Me - Washington, Connecticut

Adorable cafe located in the center of Washington Depot Connecticut. Tastefully decorated inside with an abundance of seating, along with some tables outside for those of you with your furry friends. My husband and I stopped here with our small pup after hiking up the waterfall at Kent Falls State Park (highly recommend!) You order at the counter, and they bring your food to you. I ordered the turkey club with a side of chips. The turkey club was delicious, and it was served on some sort of wheat bread with seeds in it. I should have asked for white bread since I shouldn't really eat seeds, however, I didn't see the bread type on the menu. I could have just missed it. Regardless, I ate what I could and enjoyed it! We sat outside, and it was clean and quiet. After our lunch, we were craving some coffee and ordered two lattes to go. I had the caramel latte and my husband had the dark chocolate latte. I enjoyed my coffee very much, even though it was pretty basic. My husband's latte made the whole car smell like tootsie rolls which isn't a bad thing! I also saw peach and lavender flavor for the lattes which I found very interesting, I just wasn't feeling too adventurous when it came to my latte. I highly recommend, and I will be sure to visit for a bite to eat whenever I'm in the area! read more

Quaint friendly local cafe. Stumbled upon it while staying at an air bnb in the area on a weekend getaway. The Litchfield hills don't disappoint when it comes to experiencing the best of New England. Meatloaf Sammie was a big win! read more

Went in for a quick breakfast stop and in search of a "Luke's" vibe (did not deliver on that front) it was clean and had decent (albeit awkward) service.... very dog friendly (with a dog menu...?) but...paper menus aren't current...breakfast sandwich wasn't warm ...fried green tomato sandwich was just a sliced, plain red tomato and the coffee was barely saved by the almond milk.... overall a confusing spot but good location read more

Lovely place, lovely coffee but outrageously rude woman at the counter. Why would you have someone like her working with customers? Made my experience there extremely disappointing. read more

Coffee was ok but woman behind the counter was extremely nasty and rude. Never again will I go there.

visited for lunch with a party of four. Ordered at the counter, sat at a table inside and waited 20min and still no food. finally asked someone and found out our order never made it to the kitchen. Waited another 10min and finally got our food with a half hearted apology. The excuse was, oh we have so many orders which wasn't true. I didn't find the help to be very welcoming or overly friendly. kind of matter Ft of fact service, you know, take it or leave it. For our first visit there I wasn't too impressed. read more

Cute place with yummy baked goods and the food is fresh and delicious as well. The staff is super friendly and helpful! Oh and there chicken corn chowder yums!!! read more

Marty's Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Washington, Connecticut

A charming little cafe in a great area of Washington Depot. My husband and I stopped in on a Sunday morning for a light breakfast and coffee. Inside, Marty's is modern, updated, and so cute! They had display cases with their delicious muffins, croissants, and baked treats all beautifully set up in glass jars. Their menu had perfect dishes for everyone's palette- omelette, avocado toast, breakfast wrap, oatmeal, and even a light breakfast of boiled eggs with healthy sides. We ordered a breakfast wrap, avocado toast, a latte, and a coffee. My latte was good! Warm, had just the right amount of flavor, I do think the espresso could have been a little stronger. The breakfast items we had were good. Nothing over the top or fancy, just straight forward, but clean, not greasy at all, and fresh. I would love to have two eggs on the avocado toast. The thick piece of toast you get can definitely handle two eggs. We would love to come and try this place again and maybe even a lunch this time. Their menu sounded great for lunch! Great, clean, charming little place. We will return. read more

We waited so long for our food and my blt was thick toast with one piece of lettuce one tomato and 2 thin hard strips of bacon... pathetic

The food is good and people are lovely. Nice places to sit outside. My hesitation is the speed. If they get more than two or three people ok line for food they get overwhelmed and it can take forever. Go if it is slow or you are patient. read more

Semi awkward. The set up is not welcoming. It's hard to see the baked goods, which don't look delectable and mouth watering anyway - more like out of some grocery store box. Heck, they should stock Sodelicious bakery items from Kent. Anyway, I stop on random occasions and they never have any interesting good items to make me want to grab anything more than coffee. The day I had red wine it was a disappointment. Some crappy little bottle. It could really be a lovely afternoon place with nice wine and cheese as the seating is lovely both indoors and out. The ice cream in the back doesn't beckon me. I'd rather drive further to any local dairy. I liked Marty's old furniture store better. In fact, still have many pieces from there. read more

The atmosphere and decor are great and the food and service are even better. Loved our turkey club and southwestern pasta salad-so delicious! The cinnamon ice cream was amazing. The next day we had breakfast with a super yummy smoothie and amazing donuts and delicious egg platter. Marty's made our little 2 night get away even better!! read more

They allow dogs inside that is awesome! Food is always good. Cute breakfast spot for a quick bite .

Wonderful atmosphere, always friendly, and attentive. The owners have been serving me for years and always go out of their way to make sure I'm taken care of! The hours are great and fill a definite need for food in the village on a Sunday. read more

We basically came here based solely on the photos, thanks to one of the previous reviewers for posting all the great shots! Food or drink was secondary for us today. We were looking for a comfy cafe with lots of light, COUCHES and nice artistic decor that didn't look like a jumbled mess of tacky nightmare-inducing garage sale fodder like some other coffee joints. Somewhere to feel relaxed and work on the laptop if needed. Marty's nails it. The vintage wood door, matching dark aged wood furniture against light paneled walls and carpet, the comfy couches and pillows we were looking for and light jazz music. Perfect! (Okay, if I had to nitpick, I would prefer real Jazz classics as opposed to smooth Jazz, but eh) Had a cappuccino and cranberry muffin for about $6. I don't think that's that bad of a price, especially if you're going to stick around and enjoy the ambience and free wifi. Of course, I'm from Hipster California so I'm used to high coffee bar prices. As for the lady that works here, I was pleasantly greeted and quickly served. I started on the right foot with common manners of course, and saying a nice short greeting, please, and thank you will take you a long way with most people. So treat her with respect and courtesy and you'll get it in return. Oh and the cappuccino was very good! The cranberry muffin was exactly as you would expect, and a good size. Again, prices don't seem that big of a deal to me, but either way I'll share a photo of the menu so you can judge before coming. read more

Exceptional food, service and menu selection. Rick and his team help define the high water mark of a delightful dining experience!!!

What a nice place! Upscale stylish cafe offering breakfast and lunch with great food, free wifi and wholesome, intelligent cooking conducive to lingering with the New York Times, a laptop or friends. They serve Pelligrino water, steel cut oatmeal, green tea, scrambled eggs, wraps, salads, creative sandwiches with good bread, etc. You get the picture. Good pit stop for folks doing the Connecticut weekend getaway thing. read more

Marty's Cafe - Marty's at Christmas - Cafes Near Me - Washington, Connecticut

Love stopping here every time I'm in town! Such a cozy feel, delicious food and coffee, and a great spot to get lost in a book.

Three different food items ordered, everyone liked their meal. That included grilled cheese, chicken burrito and Cobb salad. Portion sizes were filling (see pics). The place was packed, which seems great, a good place deserves to stay open. Except the place was so packed at the time people didn't want to wait in line and left. Which would have been fine if the people packing the tables weren't the freeloading off the wifi types with their noses stuck in their devices. This self-centered rudeness needs to be stopped. I'd recommend the establishment have their router be set up to repeatedly kick people off after 30 min. TL;DR The food is good. Don't let the wifi freeloaders taking up tables stop you from eating here. Just nicely ask them to leave. read more

Perfect spot to stop for lunch. We just put an offer on a house in the area and we stopped here by recommendation from our realtor. The view from the patio is perfect and it's a super peaceful spot to recharge. We ordered a curry chicken salad and a chickpea salad. Delicious. read more

We were looking for a vegetarian-friendly place for lunch as we were traveling home from Litchfield. A little searching turned up Marty's Cafe. We had an excellent experience. The service was very pleasant, and so was the setting. The veggie burger was quite tasty, as was the espresso americano, soy cappuccino, vegan Mexican coffee bar, and vegan chocolate chunk bar. They also have non-vegetarian options. The place has a lovely and relaxed vibe. We were so glad to have found it! read more

Thank you Marty's. For always being Marty's. Not wavering or changing on me. I'm playing a Billy Joel song in the background but I digress. I can always count on you to make my latte creamy and delicious with thee best coffee. I hope you remain at the depot another 100 years! read more

Meh is the best review I can give. Seems like a really popular place with the locals but seems tired and run down compared to what it could..../should be. read more

A fabulous little coffee shop in the heart of Washington Depot, Connecticut. A gentrified jewel that offers a great selection of coffee, tea & food to match. Close your eyes and you'd think you were on the upper west side. You'll find a congenial mix of "city folks in the country for the weekend" bumping into other "city folks in the country for the weekend". Wireless Internet and a pleasant assortment of seating and decor invite you to stay longer than anticipated. Latte sipping patrons seated at one of the outdoor cafe tables can enjoy errant Range Rovers & Mercedes jockey for parking positions. See you at Marty's! read more

I so want to patronize my local coffeeshop, but every time I try, I have a bad experience. The woman who is often behind the counter is a NASTY GRUMP and the other staff is slow and not very accomodating. I'll stick with 9 Main in New Preston or Lazy Frogs in Morris, where the stafff is friendly and the vibe is much less pretentious -Marty's is East Hampton in CT. If the weather's nice, grab a fresh roasted turkey sandwich and a trailblazer cookie at the Pantry nearby and sit outside. read more

The cafe itself is adorable. I walked in and was overlooked by the staff and the "locals" were asked and served first. The staff were not very welcoming and seemed bothered by me being there. When the food arrived, it was okay. Just your basic breakfast. The latte was also okay, not the best or worst I have ever had. Not sure I would return for the price. Seemed expensive for what I got. read more

Rustic luxe atmosphere with terrific sandwiches and coffee. Highly recommended for breakfast, lunch or a snack/coffee break year round. Loved the club sandwich. read more

I've been here many times, live in Washington, and think I can write a solid review. Pros: - This is a great place to meet up. Washington (and the Depot, etc..) don't have many spots where you're able to just sit and have a wonderful conversation with either a friend or a business partner. - It has wifi. If you live in Washington, this is a perk! It's also a nice place to catch up on some work online - because it's fairly quiet. - You are never rushed. Cons: - It's a bit expensive for what it is. Prices for small things, like a cookie, are a little surprising. - Food, for me, has been inconsistent. So overall, if you're going to meet up with friends or a business partner, I give it a thumbs up. If you're going for breakfast or lunch? I likely would have some better suggestions. read more
