My family is addicted to Kate's amazing English muffins, while I go in for the coffee and carrot cake. Today's cheddar broccoli soup was sooooo good as is the Tomato Gouda!!!

P CHECK YOUR ORDER…read moreBEFORE YOU LEAVE!!! I would have but the contents were so darn hot (hotter than safely should be) that I couldn't and we had to be on the road. There is a time for Starbucks, and this was it!!! No latte places for miles so was initially excited reading their website and all the choices. BUT - this was my "no foam latte, all the way filled with milk latte with oatmilk and 5 pumps of coconut syrup" - - it is almost like pure coffee!! I couldn't drink it so $$$ wasted!!! It tasted as if there was no flavoring, also tooooo dark to be a latte, it seems like I got a coffee with a touch of oat milk and the flavoring left out or only one pump. We had a whole convo about me being a coffee whimp and the owner says she hates coffee and isn't that ironic. And when my drink is ready, she says out loud oatmilk latte with coconut.....BUT NO!!!! Sooooo disappointed! And upset that money was wasted. Which is why on vacay I look for Starbucks as I know exactly what I order what it will taste like no matter where I am in the world.

Great pastries, awesome crepes, friendly service, pleasant interior and deck…read more For better or worse, I don't often get down to Norwich before 3pm, when La Maison Blanche closes, but when I do, I try to get in here. The savory crepes are awesome, standing head and shoulders above the other crepes I've had in the area. As far as I know the rest of the menu is similarly great (according to my sweetie), but I always get crepes. I prefer the salmon crepe to the egg and bacon crepe, but that might just be me. You just walk in and order at the counter, and then grab a table in one of the rooms in what appears to be an old farmhouse. The deck looks great, but I've yet to get there on a day where it works for me. The tables are all different, old wood, in comfy rooms with large windows and simple decoration. This isn't fine dining, but it's not expensive, either. Service is pretty quick, although not instant. And the staff is pretty cheerful and friendly. On your way out, buy a pastry from the case -- they are awesome. I'm not sure whether they're made on site or at their companion store in NYC, but they rock.

We LOVE this place! Their croissants are the REAL DEAL and delicious! I love their French Onion…read moresoup, which is also the "real deal". They offer various sandwiches, paninis and omelettes, and of course their desserts, cakes and cookies are excellent. We like to sit in the sunlit back room to eat our lunch. Check them out - you won't be disappointed!

So I'm on my way home and I'm driving near Norwich and I Google search chocolate shops in the area,…read moreand nothing really comes up but this particular donut shop/ bakery did so I figured close enough let's give it a shot. I walk in, the place looks nice and clean and they had a couple little racks of pastries and slices of pie and this other rack full of donuts. Not just plain donuts, but some cool specialty donuts. So I figure who doesn't like a decent donut? I grabbed a six pack. While there I was talking to the girl behind the counter and I asked if they could make a key lime pie. (Doesn't look like the kind of place that would be able to pull it off but the sign out front does say bakery.) . She took down my name and number and said the owners would give me a call tomorrow to discuss it. So far my wife and I have only had a couple of the donuts that I bought however they were very good. I would place them definitely in front of Dunkin donuts because in my opinion those taste more like cake, but not quite as good as Krispy Kreme. Not that that's a bad thing because who wants to drive to Pennsylvania for a donut? (Well okay I kind of do but I'm in that area anyways from time to time) I am planning on stopping back here at least one more time this month as one of the donuts in the selection was a peanut butter and jelly. Doesn't sound very good to say it out loud however the girl behind the counter said they're actually pretty good and my wife kind of seems interested in trying it because well it is rather different.

The server never told us the price of the buffet. The bill was frankly surprising. No salad bar, raw veggies. Had small shrimp, which were a bit rubbery in texture. They had a large selection of fried foods such as Cod/Haddock, cauliflower, chicken cordon bleu bites, etc. Mashed potatoes, canned veggies, and breakfast items. They had a lot of dessert options. That's where they seemed to put their effort. There were a few local folks that were very nice to have a conversation with. Not many people there after church that Sunday. Perhaps there were 3 tables besides ours. The bathroom had an odor and well established cobwebs on the ceiling. Also, the table service was not good. There were 3 servers for the entire restaurant, yet no one could offer a refill on the coffee or check on us to see how we were doing? Like I said, it was a big ask for the amount in the check. Overall, we weren't impressed and I don't think we will be back.
