The bagel was very good, but the olive mix was beyond salty as were the cold cuts. I ended up scraping off the olive mix. I brought half home and added mayo and tomato and it was great.

There are tables on the deck with umbrellas but we were looking to cool off and ate inside. It was not cool. If you are looking for fancy this is not the place but it hit the spot and is worth a second try.

Indulge is located on a side street and has free on-street parking available right out front. It's definitely a cozy spot, with just a few tables to eat at. I got the Thanksgiving Sandwich, which was turkey, stuffing, cranberry, and mayo on a hard roll. It was literally amazing! So delicious! I got a lemonade to drink which was good and very refreshing. No too sweet. The service was fast, and employee at the counter was friendly. I would definitely go back!

Yes, get here early especially in tourist season to beat the crowds, and order ahead if the option is available. They do sell out so check their instagram/facebook first to make sure they haven't yet. My current go to is a plain or sesame bagel toasted with butter and a little hot honey. When I am more hungry, I go for the sweet Lou with no cheese or the Hot Boi with no cheese and cream cheese on the side. The eggs are local and everything is cooked perfectly. The everything bagel is a little too salty for my tastes, but friends love it! My boyfriend is incredibly picky about bagels but if I come home with no bagel for him he gets in his feelings--it's that good. I'm so happy to see The Flour Shop thrive here in Pawcatuck. They started off with humble beginnings and it's been great to watch them grow and expand. Staff is always kind, even with the stress of the tourist season. Check this place out!

This hidden gem is already going viral in real life, and after my visit, I completely understand why. Be prepared to wait (the line stretched out the door and wrapped around the building) but don't let that scare you away. It moves pretty fast. It's absolutely worth the wait. And that says a lot coming from an impatient New Yorker that hates to wait. Inside is small and can get pretty crowded, but there are a few outdoor tables if you'd rather enjoy your food outside. Parking was surprisingly easy, with a decent-sized lot. The service was just as impressive as the food. Owner Hannah was wonderful to chat with and clearly passionate about what she's built. Alyssa, who took my order, was incredibly patient and helped me narrow down the menu with fantastic recommendations!! I tried the #3 Sweet Lou on a jalapeño bagel with cream cheese, and it was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The cheddar scallion bagel with regular cream cheese was light, flavorful, and had just the right amount of crisp on the outside. I also had the Meemers BLT on a margarita bagel, which was absolutely delicious. For drinks, I ordered the Cookie Butter Cold Brew with cold foam and the Banana Bread Latte with caramel and cold foam. Both were incredible and packed with flavor. (I usually don't even like cold brew) From the exceptional service to the outstanding food and drinks, everything exceeded my expectations. The Flour Shop Bagels & More absolutely lives up to the hype and is a must visit if you're looking for one of the area's best breakfast spots. They are absolutely on my list of favorites now!

Well you wait you can shop their marvelous selection of chips, or indulge in some jenis ice cream (I reccomend the brambleberry crunch, yummm) They also have pre made fresh food to bring home for dinner. If you want something different, gourmet, or grab and go, come to sandys!

I noticed that it was cold when I grabed the wrapped sandwich, I was hoping I was wrong. I proceed to open it and it was a cold chicken sandwich, it was not cold cuts, it was chipotle wedge.

The one disappointing thing though was when I asked about if an order of 3 churros was enough for two people. The girl said they were small--about six inches or less each. So we ordered 6. These were full size churros and 6 was wayyyyy too much for 2 people. Other than that everything was fine. The ambiance is cute. There are lots of adorable little details. The pricing for the drinks was a bit expensive in my opinion, but what I had was tasty. I'd check it out again if in the area.

You literally go to one of the back doors of the Velvet Mill in Stonington and order at the counter (you can order online too).

Overall great way to eat and fill some time.

The Back Door Kitchen & Pizzeria is a wood-fired pizzeria and restaurant that opened in Stonington,…read moreConnecticut in March 2024. It was founded by culinary couple Johan Jensen and Abbey Hemmann. Johan is a native of Denmark while Abbey is a Connecticut native. The two met in Cape Cod and eventually got married on White Crest Beach in Wellfleet. In July 2019, the couple opened their first restaurant, Whitecrest Eatery, at the Velvet Mill in Stonington. The historic building was originally home to the American Velvet Company, which operated from 1892 to 1996. Today it is a multipurpose building that is home to a thriving community of small businesses and artist studios. The American bistro with a weekly-changing menu soon won numerous awards and accolades. By 2024, the couple opened a new restaurant in the Velvet Mill. This time they would focus on artisanal wood-fired sourdough pizza as well as sandwiches, salads, and other delicious treats. Named for the "back door" of the Velvet Mill, the pizzeria soon won its own accolades. My sons and I recently had lunch at Back Door. I've visited the Velvet Mill numerous times, but this was my first visit since Back Door opened. After looking of the menu, we all decided to order and share the "Margherita" (fresh mozzarella, basil, tomato sauce, EVOO) and the "CBR" (house ranch, bacon, chicken, mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, everything spice, lemon, dill). After ordering, we picked a table right by the pick-up window so we could watch the kitchen crew at work. Both pizzas had great crust that was crispy on the outside and yet chewy on the inside. The fresh ingredients gave the pies some rich flavors with a nice smoky finish. I really liked the "Margherita", but it was the topping combo on the "CBR" that left me really impressed. I washed everything down with a bottle of locally-produced Hosmer Mountain Birch Beer. We were all very happy with our lunch. Before leaving, my younger son had a delicious "Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookie". He was nice enough to offer me and my older son a bite. We were impressed with Back Door and hope to return in the future!
