Looking at the surrounding landscape it probably would have been nicer to dinner in the summer so we could sit outside and enjoy the view while eating our breakfast or lunch. It was fall so it was more seating inside with settling for the bite out the window. The atmosphere within the restaurant was relaxed and nice. At times it did get a little loud with a group talking but other than that we were able to enjoy our breakfast together. We had already looked at the menu online so we knew what we wanted, The Hangry Cure, which was two eggs, two bacon, two sausages, home fries and choice of French toast or pancakes. We opted for one of each so we could share and taste the others. Love that the portions seemed right on the spot. Some places they give you too much. French Toast was large and fluffy like they used Texas Toast. But it did seem a little undone. Probably could have been cooked a little longer. Pancakes were nice and round but hard to cut and a little chewy. Iv think these were cooked a little too much. Eggs and everything else was great though. We did have to wait a little bit to get our credit card taken. Actually took us getting the servers attention to come get it. The place has slowed down so not sure why we were forgotten, probably giving us more time to socialize at the table. I think next time we will stop in for lunch to check that out.

I found the imported and homeland cheese selection to be quite extensive. All of my favorites plus plus plus. Carson served me as I chose a few different cheese, bread and meat items with tastes along the way. I also met Christine who is the shop owner and had a great exchange with her. The store was well stocked with specialty foods, gift items and lots of holiday paper napkins. I went in for cheese knives and found a nice selection to choose from. There were still lots of table/kitchen/dining items even though it was right after we rang in the new year. I definitely be back for more!

Fantastic Caffé…read moreMarche* has been reborn and offers a genuine Italian experience. The signature espresso is otherworldly- it is simply the best I've ever had and is made from a special machine brought over from Italy (one of only a few in the entire U.S). The prosciutto wrapped around melon comes with a lovely bottle of balsamic vinaigrette which proves to be a match made in heaven. For many the highlight at Caffé Marche will be the gelato. This may sound too good to be true, but it prove to be the best you've ever had! Spectacular Italian flavors that you won't see anywhere else. As an example the pistachio genuinely tastes like pistachio (it sounds silly to say, but the flavor is exquisite). I really hope this place takes off. The new owner has put together something special and I couldn't recommend it more highly. 5/5 *Caffé Marche is the new name, but it is still has the old James Farmacy sign outside, and as you see on yelp, is still identified as such. It would be nice to see a new sign outside, especially with "Farmacy" being a bit of a strange and even misleading (for some) name.

It's in an historic building and also offers free ukulele workshops by one of the co-founders of the café (which I didn't get to see, lol). His handcrafted banjolike instruments - made out of tin boxes, wood, and bent quarters - are also offered for fun and for sale. I think I saw an Altoids guitar for $50. The soup of the day (tomato basil) was really good, but the fresh-baked BREAD is what really got me! And I'm not usually a bread person. Keep in mind they close at 3.

I prefer it to be made from Single Origin beans, from places like Africa that have bright flavor profiles. And I prefer a medium light roast that highlights the quality of the bean. Most places make their iced coffee from blends and medium dark or dark roast levels. Grounded Coffee Co is the rare CT coffee shop that made my iced coffee with an Ethiopian Single Origin roasted by Ilse. Ilse, a North Canaan, CT, was not on my radar. They are now. This was one of the best iced coffees I've had from a shop all year. And it matched my preferences. Grounded is small, but the shop was cute, had some inside seating, and seemed to have an outside seating area, although I did not go out back to see it. Service was friendly and helpful. Very impressed with this visit experience. Five Stars.
