My go-to is their Moo Brews and their Lox bagel sandwich or a sausage egg and cheese. Their bagels are sourced from NY so they're really good. They also have great grab and go sandwiches and wraps. They have plenty of regulars and there's always people occupying the tables - great spot to get work done or to catch up with a friend. It's overall a great local business that any town would be lucky to have.

You will not find such a gourmet pleasure any where else around and for one extraordinary reason: the Prospector is a non-profit 501(c)(3) and they are able to put quality before profit margins. The result is a perfect latte each and every time. Equally satisfying, it deserves special recognition that every dollar spent at the Heads Up Cafe benefits people with disabilities - a grand slam! The Cafe also offers some stellar beer and wine choices not usually found under one roof. With such an appealing selection, and such heartfelt intentions, this little gem of a cafe is not to be missed.

After reading Ridgefield Lifestyle's cover story, "The Art of Hospitality," I decided to return to…read moreRoss's Bread with renewed optimism and, naturally, a stopwatch. The article references the Savoy Hotel, Danny Meyer's hospitality group, "the pursuit of excellence," and repeated commitments to quality and consistency. So I thought perhaps, at long last, the espresso situation had been resolved. Reader, it had not. I ordered a Cortado to stay. "Would you like that in a mug for here or a paper cup?" An encouraging start. I then positioned myself beside the espresso machine like a wildlife documentarian returning to observe a rare but persistent behavioral phenomenon. The barista dosed the portafilter, then tamped the coffee while holding the portafilter in midair, applying what appeared to be approximately the amount of pressure required to test whether an avocado is ripe. He locked it into the machine and pressed start. Brown liquid immediately exploded from the spouts with absolutely no delay whatsoever. The shot was over in roughly four seconds. For those unfamiliar with espresso, this is generally considered suboptimal. The resulting Cortado tasted primarily of hot milk and faintly burnt coffee sadness. After two and a half confirmation sips, I quietly left the remainder on the counter and departed. At this point I no longer review Ross's espresso. I monitor it.

Terrific and snazzy Tazza (Espresso and Coffee) Cafe in Ridgefield is very quaint and very…read moredelicious. This cafe is modern. It has none of that 500-year old cigarette fumes have been seeping into the woodwork-type that you may find in Paris. Tazza Cafe is brilliant and squeaky clean, though not bright inside. Tables are for no more than 2 people (max!). But there are a few tables outside along Main Street and you might be able to snag an extra chair for a trio business meeting, or so. As has been noted, Tazza Cafe has lots of delectable sweets, baked goods, croissants, sandwiches, paninis, cookies, stuffed items, salads and Italian noisette biscotti to dunk in that Java! All the items are neatly (and I mean in rows :) ) displayed behind luminous glass. The items are not marked by name and price, which is a bit of a stumper for normal customers (I can tell by experience) - but in my book it's okay if they rotate items periodically or change their places depending on what is selling that week. Two gals were running the bar-high railed table: one was nocking out the orders and payments, the other was running the espresso machine. My order was a double Espresso and a sweet Linzer Tart (I always get them since my Grandmother used to spoil me with them). Although my espresso at Tazza Cafe only very barely reached a HALF (tiny) cup - it was strong. It was pungent. It had almost a kind of plum and barky flavor. It tasted thick & good. The coffee station however was a mismatch of space for local papers and news taking up the space for cream and milk and syrups (which was oddly missing). The interior fits the town of Ridgefield. Upper-scale. Suave. Lots of mirrors and glass and black surfaces. This is no riff-raff shop like out in Cali! At first I thought it may be a *chicks-preferred* type of puppy-pink peony-kale & baby food smoothie-type coffee shop, but NO there were groups of dudes languishing in chairs with cigarettes and lattes taking a break. Arrived at 9am and there were 8-9 customers. One thing: that entrance door is tough. Weak armed elderly customers with not much strength had trouble yanking it open from outside. Me, I had trouble getting out with a cup in one hand and a bag in the other. Hey proprietor: Oil the door or lower the jam!
