Nice location, okay crepes…read more In this location for errands, and opted for a breakfast run. This one offered crepes, and after my last crepe fail I decided to give this one a try as well. There's two entrances to this place. One on the street and one inside the market close by. Walking in, there's a big queue line with 6 menu screens. Tons of options available, leading to a bit of analysis paralysis. Grabbed a regular menu and opted to figure out my order before queuing up. Decided to go for the bananas foster crepe and a spinach feta and mushrooms crepe for the savory check. Also got a seasonal latte because why not? Got a neat little placard to label my table, Then waited for the food to roll in. Was a short wait, but got both crepes and my latte at the same time. The latte was sweet and the flavors of the latte were there. Coffee got lost in the flavors, but it was good enough. The savory crepe was not bad. Good amount of mushrooms and spinach. Not a lot of feta but the flavor was there. Crepe was thin and cooked well. Overall that one was pretty good. The sweet crepe...that was not good. One banana chunked into 1/8ths coated in brown sugar and lumped in the middle. The butter and brown sugar welded to together leading to a hard mass of sugar cementing the large chunks of banana to the sugar puck. This coupled with the fact the toppings were not even distributed across the crepe, led to a lot of plain crepe. For the price, I was expecting better. Flavor wise the crepe was fine and the preparation of the crepe was correct. The execution was lacking quite a bit though, and that was the most annoying part of this endeavor. Overall, it's not horrible but the price for quality is lacking. It's good enough, but pricy.

Firstly, I would like to formally apologize to Tony and his staff. I have been working in the…read moreCromwell general area for 5 years and have only visited this absolute gem YESTERDAY. How could I possibly have been going to Starbucks over this delight?! I'm so sorry, friends. I should have my queer card revoked and sent to straight jail. This place is incredible. It's decorated like every queer neurospicy teen's dream, which is 100% my aesthetic. Firstly, the drinks: They have a variety of delightfully named beverages, both with and without espresso. I picked my Creme Bru-Lattee and paid for it before I even noticed the MLP:FIM themed bevs, but tell Twilight Sparkle I'll be back for her. The iced confection was a dream. My girlfriend ordered the thai iced tea and she also enjoyed it, but admitted that mine was better. THE BAKED GOODS!!! Having to only pick one to eat was challenging and, frankly, homophobic. How can I possibly pick one jewel in an entire treasure chest? Sure, I could have brought some home to do but that is besides the point, mama is on a budget. I had the gluten free chocolate peanut butter torte which did not seem GF at all and was heavenly. I admit I was audibly moaning while enjoying it. I made a scene. I am looking forward to going back to amend for my sins of coffee breaks wasted at the starbucks down the street. In closing. Yaaaas queen!

I've heard so much about Tony's Flour Shop, I am so happy I recently got to check them out my self…read more I am almost never in Cromwell, but on this occasion I was meeting a friend and Tony's was the perfect midpoint for us. This place is so adorable on the inside, it is small and pretty intimate, but the decor is precious! There are so many toadstools (the oversized red mushrooms with polka dots) and rainbows everywhere. Tony's specialty's are all his mom's recipes. There was a delightful selection of an assortment of sweets. Of course you can get your coffees and teas too. Each month they change their drink specials. I got a slice of their Salted Caramel Pecan Blondie and a May Specialty Latte called Fay Valentine. The Blondie was rich with caramel on the outside but decadently sweet, yet crunchy. This is an indulgence for sure! The Fay Valentine is a Banana and Peanut Butter Latte, absolutely delicious! I kept slurping long after it was gone! Please go check out the restroom at Tony's, even if nature isn't calling you to go. I have never before encountered a more magical restroom. If I tell you there's Alice herself hanging upside down from the ceiling, maybe that's enough reason to go. I had a wonderful time with my friend at Tony's Flour Shop, the staff is super helpful and friendly. I cannot wait to return.

#40 in my NEW ENGLAND & NY COFFEE SHOP SERIES…read more This is an Asian-owned, female-owned bakery and coffee shop with delicious Asian-inspired pastries and fun drinks! We came on a Sunday around 10:30am and they were almost out of some of their pastries. Definitely go there earlier. But that just shows how fresh everything is! Firstly, all of the pastries looked delicious! It was so hard to just pick one so we needed up picking 3. Cheesy hotdog bread, kbbq short rib bread, and a cranberry cream cheese pastry. They were all SOOO GOOD! The bread is so soft and the flavors were delicious. They have lots of fun seasonal drinks, caffeinated and non-caffeinated. They also have boba! I got an ube banana latte and my friend got their seasonal Coquito latte which was recommended. Both were delicious (and very strong). The service was immaculate. I didn't catch the cashier's name but she was younger with brown hair. The sweetest person ever! Definitely made the experience more enjoyable. The owner, Chan also gifted us a piece of delicious oreo cake for fun! It was so yummy and not too sweet. I cannot recommend this place enough!

I've heard so much about Seed, for a while now. I haven't had the chance to go because they close…read moreearly on the weekends. I finally got to go this week. Seed is open in Glastonbury and in Berlin. I went to the one in Berlin. The interior is super cute! They have comfy seating, with a little bookshelf. They also have bar seating. The art is colorful and inviting. It looks like they will begin serving ice cream soon. The girl at the counter was very patient as I studied the menu. I decided on the Banana French Toast Latte. This was very tasty, you could taste the banana and honey and for sure the cinnamon. After my coffee, I decided I should stay for lunch. I got the Garden Nova bagel. I got the cheddar bagel, it was soft and airy, topped with melted cheddar. It was generously filled with salmon, cream cheese, pickled onions, cucumbers, slow roasted tomatoes, and arugula. It was hearty and delicious! I had this at 12:00 o'clock, I didn't eat anything else for the rest of the day. It was that filling! Seed has endless breakfast and lunch options, not to mention coffee and other drinks. I will be back to try more.

I popped in because the parking lot was mostly empty. It wasn't particularly busy in the cafe either. There were two small groups ahead of me in line. I order my food and black iced coffee to go. I received my food. It even had to be heated. And I had to wait 10 minutes for them to give me my black iced coffee. Even though there are only two or three people waiting in the drink area. And that was after I said something. So who knows how long it would have taken. This isn't because of lack of effort. The baristas were doing things. They're making lots of drinks. But it's not clear for whom. They finish the drinks and they don't call people's names. Maybe they're for to go orders? I understand that restaurants need to make choices about how they run things. All I can say is, that it's not a good experience to get all of your food and you have to wait for a black iced coffee (a drink that takes very minimal effort) for 10 minutes. Even though you're one of only a few people in the drink area. I'm not going to change my review score. But these experiences definitely affect how often I visit.

I get that they make everything to order but if I was in a hurry I wouldn't be able to go there. The sandwich was okay. They used baked picnic ham. It was tasty. Just wasn't trimmed and there was one slice. The mustard was in the first bite and nowhere else on the sandwich which was too bad cuz the first bite was the best. The sourdough bread was toasted a lot more than the picture. I like my toast super crunchy, so it was not a bad thing for me. I hear the ice cream there is very good. I'll check it out one of these days.
