Just had the best breakfast. Sweet potato hash substituted poached eggs and bearnaise sauce. It was so huge I didn't think I would finish it, but I did! Great service too. read more

Super sweet team, good food, good coffee. Always so nice when I go in. And lots of gluten free options!

Had been wanting to try breakfast here for a while and had the chance today. The food was good but too greasy. Maybe the rolls and croissants are buttered before the eggs go on?? They don't need to be, both types of bread are rich enough and it made the sandwiches greasy. Maybe we will try them for lunch next time. read more

Wow this place is great. I wish I didn't live 3 hours away or I would be here everyday.

Found this place on yelp this morning. The service was slow today but that quickly was remedied once our food came out. I got the huevos ranchero bowl and the other dish is the protein pop. Both were really delicious. I received a very generous amount of super fresh spinach topped with guacamole, roasted corn, black beans, pico de gallo and two poached eggs. YUM! The popover was light and eggy. Overall worth the wait! read more

Check into popover bistro on Yelp to get a free popover ! This place can get quite busy depending on what time you get here. Pending on how busy it is service can vary. Today I had to seat myself and didn't get a menu until I asked for one. But other than that the food here is great. They try to use as much local ingredients when they are available so the food here is a bit pricier. This place is definitely 'hipster.' All their drinks come in glass jars, young staff, wooden interior with metal chairs, and attracts a younger crowd. There is also a small patio for outdoor seating. I have never had lunch here - this is my go-to for brunch on the weekends. You really can't go wrong with breakfast foods. read more

Popover Bistro & Bakery - Corn beef hash plate with avocado bruschetta topped with smoked salmon. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Simsbury, Connecticut

Good food, friendly staff! Bought $15 for $10 through Yelp app. Check in for free pastry!

Best breakfast spot, cafe, or whatever you want to call it in the area. Can't wait until they open back uo

I was not greeded like the rest... i was treated as if i was bothering them, they looked at me and asked me what can i help you with?... i ordered an iced chai latte, seriously it was not good to top it off i was mistreated i guess because of my complexion? I will not ever be returning here and spending my money smh i really i wanted to like this place. read more

Nice decor and unfortunately thats where it ends. The service is terrible. I ordered two cold brew coffees took them 10 minutes to make them. When they arrived they tasted like hose water. Which is odd since they use The Cold Brew Coffee company, and their stuff is delicious. Unfortunately Pop-Over does not know how to make them. When I brought it up to the counter to ask for a new one the employee looked at me like I was Frankenstein's monster. They also sell Give Coffee, that's a plus! Unfortunately it's give Coffee that is 3 months old, didn't notice until after I paid. My favorite part is I ordered an Acai Bowl ... what I got was a literal bowl of Acai juice. It wasn't blended, it wasn't frozen, it had no binding agent, no yogurt, nothing. I tried to see if it at least we tasted good. It did not. My wife ordered the number one (avocado toast) she said the toast was alright and the egg was too runny and not in a good way. read more

Really cute little place and the food is delicious! Very creative menu. Service quick and friendly. Stuffed popovers are huge and yummy, but plenty of healthier choices. Will be back! read more

Sunday April 29- BAD service, long wait. Not enough menus...have to share. Asked one of the servers if they could check on our order. Her response, "there's a large table in front of you. There's nothing I can do." Spoke to another server who took action and he had one of the owners stop over. No refills on tea. No check in recognizing we were been sitting here a long time. i'm all for supporting small business owners in my hometown but when the service is this bad, Won't return anytime soon. Too bad the food is good. read more

Delightful little restaurant and cafe - menu is FULL of both healthy and interesting offerings including several gluten free and/or vegan options. The breakfast egg scrambles and the lunch salads are served over scrumptious homemade popovers ...crispy on the outside, eggy and soft on the inside. Popular with the local crowd, the service is warm and low key but it is still a very suitable place for a business meal. Can't go wrong here! read more

Have lived in the area over 2 years and just discovered the gem that is Popover! Enjoyed time with my mom there last weekend where we shared the veggie pop and Emma T waffle. I got a honey lavender iced latte and my mom enjoyed a chai tea latte, both which were AMAZING. The popover was so light and fluffy and STUFFED with goodness and the waffle was also amazing, with just the right amount of Nutella. I loved my latte so much, my boyfriend and I came again today where I got the latte again and tried the west coast breakfast sandwich with egg whites on an English muffin and he got half a tuna melt with tomato soup. Everything was delicious again and with our yelp check in, we got a free popover with whipped honey butter. Besides how delicious everything is, my favorite part would have to be how local everything is (and you can see where everything comes from on the big chalkboard map). So excited to continue coming and enjoying coffee and food here in the future! read more

See all

Unfortunately we ordered to go and I was not able to tell them right away that the chicken was not edible. I would have sent it back. Both chicken Caesar and buffalo wrap were awful at $12 each and waited way too long. I understand folks are struggling but I was hungry. Will not be going back. read more

Great local find!! First time here, very clean and welcoming place. Right away I was greeted and asked if I had any questions on the menu they'd be happy to answer. Also the young lady was very helpful and nice! I got the yard goat (toast,egg,avocado and goat cheese) and a side of Brussel sprouts little did I know it was going to be a heaping mountain of them! Deff worth the money, it was all great and you could tell it was fresh ingredients! Happy with my visit and will be back read more

Wonderful, quaint restaurant with great food and nice outside seating in good weather! Lavendar Lemonaide was incredible!

Really good popovers, which is important (see the name). We like them stuffed with eggs, veggies and sausage depending on our mood. During peak lunch and breakfast times the place gets stuffed like a sardine box, so plan ahead. Get here early. Staff is super pleasant and nice. Good for kids, parents and seniors. read more

This place has fresh healthy options and very interesting nonalcoholic drinks and smoothies. Very good choice.

Cute little bistro with delicious popovers and avocado toast options. Great coffee. Would love to visit again.

Love this place for a healthy breakfast alternative. They have a great variety of healthy breakfast bowls with different grains and veggies. Coffee is pretty good. read more

Popover is an amazing little corner cafe! Love this place! Pam is an excellent owner and my favorite server is kyle, he is so polite and always catches up with us when we come in for breakfast. Love the whole crew there!! read more

My lunch was really good. I wanted something a little different. The salad I had was filled with chicken, black beans and had avocado. It was huge. Can't wait to be able to go inside and sit down when this crisis is over. I will be ordering lunch again soon read more

I had my first visit last night and "DAM" what have I been missing, this place is a little gem tucked in the heart of Simsbury. I especially enjoyed the popover that came with my order it was quite the pleasant surprise!!! However the saying rings true you get what you pay for, and don't be afraid of the prices when you see the menu because you are definitely getting a fair amount of fresh food for the money a absolute true value. I will be seeing them probably more often than I should :/ Allen Comeau read more

Service not very good beginning with getting a head roll to come over to a table. Really?! No hello or welcome to Popover's, just an indication to sit down. Restaurant not too busy when we arrived but it did start filling up after we placed our order. Waiter didn't come over to check on us, nor did we notice her go to kitchen to check on our order. She was very busy at front counter cleaning or organizing. The option for gluten free side was very disappointing and waiter acted put out that she was asked for that option. Our meal took about 30-40 minutes to arrive! Steak way overcooked and even waitress agreed. Tuna fish was okay and generous serving, but dry. Food was just okay. Popover not really convenient to me so will not go out of my way to eat here again. read more

After being in town to attend a Saturday night wedding, we were looking for a great breakfast/brunch spot on Sunday morning - and we hit the jackpot! Our breakfast at Popover was one of the best we've ever had. First, my husband's coffee and my iced coffee were perfect, and the iced coffee was served in a mason jar, which always wins points for me. The food was absolutely delicious. My husband got the French Toast - the filling of the day was a raspberry cream with strawberries - and it came with a salad. I got the veggie popover. Would highly recommend both! To top it off, the waitresses were very friendly and attentive, and while we were sans kids this weekend, it was a family friendly spot. If we ever find ourselves in or close to Simsbury again, we will definitely make this our breakfast destination. A++ read more

Delicious. We got the salmon pop and it was worth it. The pop over is really good doughnut/bread... Hard to explain but very tasty. Get one!!! read more

I will mirror a prior reviewer who used the feedback model which I am also very familiar with. The process always starts with a look at what went well, and is followed by a look at what improvement opportunities exist. So here we go. What went well? 1) The interior is very nicely decorated and appears to be very clean. 2) The popover was OK. What can be improved? The service was nonexistent. I initially stopped at Starbucks next door to grab a coffee. I was originally going to also get one of their breakfast sandwiches but changed my mind in favor of trying a popover from the Popover Café. I walked in and there was only one other guy there sitting at a table eating. There was a middle aged female employee at the cash register but she didn't acknowledge me. I browsed through the very small glass case which contained a very small selection of scones and muffins. I could have swore it said "bakery" on the sign outside. After being ignored for about 3 minutes I politely asked the employee what kind of Popovers they have? She curtly said that they only have plain. I asked if they had any left and she again answered curtly that they were in the back. I then asked if I could have one. She walked away and returned about 3 minutes later with my popover in a bag. I was very surprised that the bag was cold. I assumed that since she had to go to the kitchen and get one and that it was 9AM in that they may have just came out of the oven. No such luck. I was even more surprised when she rang me up for $4.25. I walked away feeling like I just got mugged. There are two other popular places to get breakfast in Simsbury - Benny's and Harvest Bakery. Both of which have outstanding service, excellent food and don't make you feel like an intruder. I will be taking my business there next time. read more

Not impressed. My husband and I went here this morning, as we are always interested in trying new restaurants. When we walked in, we were confused about what to do. The tables are fully set, but there is a counter, so it seemed like we should order there. However, there was no menu posted other than beverages. A woman came out, and she gave us menus and said to order at the counter. I decided to order the 'make your own egg plate.' This confused the girl taking our order. I ordered two eggs, and she asked what kind of toast I wanted. I told her that I'd like a popover. She paused and looked at me, then said she guessed she could substitute a popover. I'm not sure how it's a substitution, as the menu implies you can 'make your own.' She finished taking our order, and I noticed that I had only been charged for the two eggs--$2.50. We told her that a popover was not listed, and she said she subbed it in. This didn't make any sense as the cost for a popover alone on the menu is $4. She gave us a number and handed my husband his coffee. She took the next order without giving me my tea. We went to sit at a table away from the counter. There was sugar and sweetener on the table, but no cream or milk. They keep that by the counter. Again, that makes no sense. My husband brought his coffee to the counter for cream and came back to put sweetener in. The girl at the counter then delivered my tea. I decided not to try to make my way through the line waiting to order to put milk in my tea, so I drank it black. It seems like a bad idea to have customers carrying their own hot beverages in ceramic mugs through the restaurant and maneuver through a line of people. Just put cream on the table. Our food arrived and I was disappointed in the popover. It was denser than a popover should be and it didn't 'pop over.' It was flat on top. My scrambled eggs were also overcooked and dry. My husband's meal came with veggie hash, which was really more like sweet potato home fries. They make a big deal about their bread being from a local bakery, but it wasn't anything special. The restaurant is nice inside, very inviting, but it needs some work if it's going to survive in Simsbury. A sign by the door that says to order at the counter would be helpful, as would having staff who know how to take orders. Of course, if the name of your restaurant is Popover, then your signature item should be perfect. I'm not sure we'll be back. There are other better breakfast options in Simsbury. read more

This restaurant is following safety rules and even provides sanitizer at each table. The food is fantastic, service is friendly and there is a huge tent to eat outside. I will definitely go back. I don't often give 5 stars but this restaurant has so many things right! You won't be disappointed. read more

Came here several times because it's close to my work, but I can't recommend it. The first time, I got a blueberry muffin, which rang in at $3! Wow, was I suddenly transported to NYC? Nope. And the taste (bland) certainly wasn't worth what I paid. Second time came for lunch and there was seemingly only one server for the entire place. Needless to say, food (soup and popover) arrived in close to 30 minutes. Quality wasn't worth the wait. Butternut squash soup was ok, but the popover was extremely dry on the outside and gluey on the inside. Disappointing for any price range, never mind the excessive one here. read more

We went to the Popover Cafe and Bakery in Simsbury, CT this morning (August16, 2014). We placed our order and sat down at a table and waited and waited. We simply ordered 2 fried eggs and a popover. They finally came after a really long wait. The eggs were good the popovers were cold, hard and I would say not very good. We had to ask for butter - and then later we had to ask for jam. Both Jam and butter are included with the popover - so it says on the menu -- but we had to ask for each. If they want to stay in business they will have to do better than this. It was not so crowded that this should have happened. read more

Arrived at 11:15 on Saturday morning. Sign on door says Brunch served 8-3. When I asked for breakfast they said they were only serving lunch. A bakery not serving breakfast on a Saturday morning? Went down the street for a GREAT breakfast at Harvest Bakery. read more

Great breakfast spot! It's fresh and really big portions! The atmosphere is bright and modern. Service is attentive and prices reasonable

We've been to this place quite a few times and have been less and less impressed with each visit. We tried it one last time to make sure it wasn't a fluke on previous visits. Service has always been relatively good, but the quality of the food and its value has gone steadily downhill. On our last visit, our specialty coffee and tea were very unimpressive for their high cost. I ordered the Falafel Bowl which ended up being 90% romaine lettuce, 4 falafels and very little else. At $14 it was far from worth the price. While the waitress was friendly and seemed to empathize with our concerns, the manager/owner didn't even bother to address our issues and that just solidified our decision to never return. read more

7 for milkshake in a small mason jar Poor service Expensive read more

Recently went there on advice of a friend... Very average. Eggs were overcooked... Coffee was nice... and the pop overs were not desirable at all read more

This was a total disaster-after sitting for 55 minutes waiting for our food which never arrived we left. They didn't even care-but they would do us a favor and not charge us for the coffee. Thanks we won't be back popovers-good luck. read more

I love supporting local bakery's - especially when they are unique and have a very inviting atmosphere to them. Popover is great and a much better choice over Starbucks. read more

IMO, just ok. The popovers are just ok.. small. Popovers are so easy to make and since they are the signature of this restaurant they should be spectacular! Ours arrived small and cold. I may give it another try, it just wasn't all that memorable. read more
