Love this bakery! I ordered a special cake for my daughter's birthday then I needed an off the shelf cake for my other daughter and both were out of this world. They have many flavors we tried the strawberry cream and carrot both amazing! We haven't tried the sandwiches yet but we will soon! read more

Savour Cafe and Bakery - Off the shelf strawberry cream cake, delish! - Desserts Near Me - Centerbrook, Connecticut

This place has great chicken salad and potato salad to go. Their pastries and sandwiches are wonderful. I think they would reach a broader audience if they had a simple latte machine. They offer tea and coffee which is great for an older clientele, but if they wanted to expand their audience a basic espresso machine would do wonders. Id actually sit here more and eat if they had a basic machine to offer iced and hot lattes. It would pay for itself in like a day and a half. read more

Thank you helpers for recommending this gem on the way to our beachy destination. Super cute, little, hidden and charming cafe. It was bustling with families, but we took or delicious sandwiches and Harney teas to go. We had a turkey blt wrap and grilled cheese with tomato and fig jam; sooooo good! read more

We had lunch with our friend Mechelle in Chester and she got several things from Savour. Pasta salad, chicken salad, corn salad and a delicious carrot cake. Everything was top notch quality and tasted very fresh. The carrot cake was just decadent without being too heavy nor too sweet. This is a place that I would easily see myself getting take out from in the future if I am in the area. read more

Great place to stop during a day trip to Essex. Very charming vibe and wonderfully decadent desserts and pastries. The staff was friendly and helpful and it's a great place to just hang out and chat with a friend. They also have outdoor seating which is nice. I tried a cinnamon roll which wasn't the best one I've ever had, but it was good. My daughter tried a breakfast sandwich on a toasted croissant that was wonderful. They have a serve- yourself fridge full of interesting and delicious looking salads I'd like to try next time. I should have taken a photo of my chocolate ganache mini flourless cake- it was beautiful and delicious! read more

First, I don't normally like chocolate flourless cake. It tends to be dense and dry so not worth the calories. But this ...this cake...is everything. It's smooth and silky...unless you're allergic, you have to eat this. Your mouth will thank you! The cheesecake is light and whippy, and not too sweet, and the fruit are fresh and happy just sitting there on top with powdered sugar. You must eat have it!! read more

Beautifully prepared cakes, pastries, freshly made sandwiches and prepared foods. Friendly, helpful staff. Cheery atmosphere.

I love this place. Staff is sweet as can be. Comforting, welcoming, and with a remarkable level of consistency in their creations. All of their pâtisserie are wonderful! Their macarons are world-class with unique flavors that ACTUALLY TASTE LIKE THEIR DESCRIPTION! So often macarons have fantastic sounding descriptions but with entirely different flavor profiles (usually a nondescript sweetness). They offer many hard-to-find creations, as well. For instance, I was so excited to find a beautifully created Religieuse! Their apple cake, amaretti cookies, carrot cake, and creme brulee are delicious. Wonderfully decadent breakfast egg sandwiches. I don't love their prepped salads, which is a bummer. Everything else I've tried has been a delight. read more

I have never eaten anything so delicious in my entire life as the Savour turkey, bacon, avocado wrap. I ordered it on lettuce, instead of a wrap, due to my gluten allergy. WOW was this good. Multicolored tomatoes, silky aoli, and tthe freshest greens. Bacon was crisy, avocado at perfect ripeness, and deli turkey was fresh as can be. I honestly feel at $11 they are not charging enough for thhis masterpiece. *Yelp is not allowing me to fix typos. CRISPY and this read more

What a beautiful place! Experience European bakery and cafe charm while enjoying perfect pastries, sandwiches, and salads. I am a scone snob and found the strawberry scone to be perfection. We also couldn't pass up the blueberry and cheesecake macarons and a raspberry financier. We had a ham and Brie croissant with apricot grain mustard which I would drive an hour for and left soooo stuffed! I can not wait to come back here. Love love love!!! read more

I CANNOT say enough good things about this little gem. Everything that I have ever eaten from this bakery has been incredible. They rotate what they put on the menu so you can go multiple times and not eat the same thing. Their prepared foods are exceptional and an easy option for a quick dinner or lunch pick up. I have been coming here for years and will be coming here until the day I die read more

A few years ago, we hosted a Rehearsal Dinner for a family wedding and wanted to give everyone a unique gift. So instead of the personalized M&Ms or engraved lucite paperweights, we went with some gorgeous chocolate caramel dipped apples from the future proprietor of Savour Café. Savour Café just opened a few days ago, but it's hard to tell they're brand new because the place was humming at breakfast this morning. There was a steady stream of customers walking out with bags of croissants, brioches, breakfast sandwiches, and related baked goodness. The large dining room is beautiful, with a white planked ceiling and floor, soft yellow walls, and black and white furniture. There are French touches everywhere- from the Eiffel Tower shaped merchandise rack, to the French music on the sound system to the Fleur de Lis clothing hooks in the rest rooms. Our breakfast sandwiches were a bacon and cheese brioche and an egg, cheese, and sautéed vegetables on a croissant, plus a slice of cheesecake that we split. My croissant was amazing- a huge sandwich full of melted cheese, and caramelized onions with what tasted like peppers and zucchini too. It was terrific. The coffee (Jim's Organic) was excellent and it sure complimented the outstanding slice of cheesecake we split to finish off our meal. The menu features half a dozen signature salads, almost a dozen "standard" sandwiches (how does Grilled Cocoa Hazelnut Spread and Wine Jam sound?), and "Craft Your Own" Sandwich and Salad options. Don't overlook the big showcases with freshly prepared meats, salads and vegetables, or the grab and go cases in the front of the store, stocked with soups, entrees, and salads. We grabbed a shopping bag full of stuff to enjoy at home. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and we really enjoyed our time here. Five stars without a doubt. read more

An awesome cafe local to Essex! Great coffee/tea, pastries, and lunch options. Spacious seating, excellent service, and a modern ambience. The pastries are REALLY GOOD. We had the almond croissant, blueberry oatmeal cookie, cherry walnut scone, and French apple cake. All of them were top notch and exceptional! The place was packed and is clearly a local favorite. Highly recommend! read more

By Elizabeth Rubin This French-accented cafe is well known for its bakery, and locals flock here for a bit of Parisian charm at breakfast and lunch. But I was planning a party and had heard about an over-the-top dessert they had on their Easter menu. So I ordered up the Kahlua Mocha Chocolate Mousse Bombe. When I returned to pick up my cake, I had no problem finding it in the case. The WOW factor: a garden party of colorful buttercream flowers atop four alternating layers of Kahlua mocha mascarpone mousse and chocolate mousse on a base of intense chocolate cake, enrobed in ganache. Pastry chef and decorating wizard, Eva Jensen, uses a dozen different piping tips and precise mixing of six colors of buttercream (and some fairy dust!) to finish it off. All I can say is my friends' taste buds were transported to the City Of Lights after just one sweet bite. Owner Kim Thomas has successfully brought a bit of La Vie en Rose to the Shoreline. www.thesavourcafe.com read more

We went here today on a recommendation to buy what were described as amazing cupcakes. We paid $13 for two old, stale, strange-tasting, flavor lacking, hard lumps of crap in a cup -- Gross! We didn't even finish them...just tossed them in the trash, where they belong! read more

Never disappoints. Amazing treats and eats and the staff is wonderful. My senior family members faces light up when they know their birthday cake came from Savour. read more

While my boyfriend and I were visiting the area we decided we needed some coffee and breakfast. We did a quick search and found that this place was nearby so thought we'd give it a try. I am so happy we did that! We got parking right out front and walked in and I found the inside so cute! Also there were way more options than I was expecting with baked goods, sandwiches, etc. We both got a coffee and a breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese. Absolutely fantastic. The staff was also very nice and quick to take our order. Definitely recommend a visit in here. read more

I came in for lunch last week with some friends/my Mother. What a cute cafe! The interior is Paris themed with cases upon cases of desserts and baked goods almost too beautiful to eat. The owners and staff are very friendly. The prices for all baked goods are fair. Parking is easy, and there is plenty of seating. I ordered a grilled cheese that was delicious. The sourdough bread really made it delicious. I also took home a creme burlee and bread pudding. All was delicious. My friend had some grilled veggies, my mother had a pastrami sandwich. We all had regular coffee. It was a very nice lunch out, i really Enjoyed it. Great place to grab fancy baked goods for a tea party or other kind of party. I will definitely return when i am in town. read more

Wow! If not the best Grilled Vegetable Sandwich I've had, it was right up there! The bakery is amazing with a delicious and beautiful selection. I had a Farro Salad that was unique and just fabulous. I highly recommend this Cafe for breakfast, lunch, take out AND for ordering birthday cakes. A treasure! read more

This was lunch on a Saturday out for a drive, so it was spur-of-the-moment. All the sandwich options looked good - we went with a roast beef and pastrami, both off the menu board and both nicely grilled and delicious. We had a Brussels sprout salad on the side and finished with a Marjolaine pastry. read more

Just walking in here on any given morning makes me happy! The atmosphere is elegant, sunny and bright with comfortable seating on which to enjoy your brew, and the coffee is always good. The stone patio is very pretty and pleasant when weather permits. There is a wide selection of pastry and cakes which are amazing and any cake we have ordered for special occasions is a work of art! Many times I've stopped in here to grab a pre-made salad or a container of the most delicious chicken salad ever! I'm so glad to have this sweet little place in my town. read more

The food and staff are simply incredible. Whether it's a quick stop for scones or stocking up ahead of weekend visits from family and friends, Savour has become a weekly staple in our lives. We recently asked them to help with our gender reveal and despite having less than 24 hours to put it together, they absolutely exceeded our expectations! This cake brought immense joy to our family both when we first saw the inside and when everyone had their first bite! read more

All I can say is wow, I'm already planning my next trip! When you first walk in you're greeted with a plethora of beautiful pastries, which made selecting my treat a little difficult because I wanted one of everything. I ended up opting for a breakfast sandwich on a croissant which was very good, my only critique is that the egg patty was very thick so I ended up deconstructing my sandwich and eating the pieces separately. Whatever, still delicious. Feeling glutinous I ordered a slice of the French Apple Cake to go along with my sandwich. This was really the wow factor in my visit. It's a must try! My partner ordered the French Onion Roast Beef Sandwich and an almond Franzipan tart. He was very pleased with both items. The atmosphere was relaxing and we took a few extra minutes to slow down and enjoy our morning before heading out. Not sure how a previous reviewer likened the atmosphere to a hospital cafeteria. If that's really the case, can I get your doctors number to book an appointment? I'll be back soon, keep up the great work! read more

Lots of delicious looking options and the breakfast sandwich I had was so good my mouth waters just thinking about it. I also brought home a scone for the hubby and I had to try it. Hubby only got half. I will go back often. read more

Savour is the kind of place that I can tell people, "get me whatever" and I know it will be great, if not fantastic, regardless of what I end up with. Once I even ordered something that-- based on my personal tastes-- I expected I wouldn't like, and it was STILL good. The only reason not to eat here is fear of addiction. read more
