Coffee was also great, especially for non-espresso drinks. The service was great as well; the workers were kind, professional, and even offered to top off my iced coffee before I left.

The banannas, blueberreis and strawberries were so fresh - even being on mid winter here! Fast and lovely service. The Cafe has a few seats inside - the day we were there a good steady stream of people coming in and out. In summer or warmer weather outdoor seating as well. A few parking spots side of restaurant but also easy street parking!

The store is pretty large with an oversized bakery display case showing off their classic bakery goods - think gorgeous cakes, pastries, and cookies. And to make your visit even more worthwhile is a restaurant with a sweet breakfast and lunch menu. We visited yesterday and had a very nice breakfast in their large dining room. There is plenty of seating and plenty of parking too. I had a Veggie Breakfast Burrito ($10.50) with sauteed onions, peppers, spinach, grilled portobello mushrooms, American cheese, and diced tomatoes on a spinach tortilla, It was excellent and the size of that burrito made it a decent value for the price. My wife had a $7.49 Ham, Egg & Cheese breakfast sandwich with an additional $1 bagel surcharge. It was a big bagel, and as you can see from our photo, there were three big ham slices included. Very good coffees were $3.59 each. On the way out, those gorgeous pastries in the showcase whispered sweet nothings in my ear, and helpless to resist, we ordered an Apple Pocket ($2.99) and a Chocolate Croissant ($3.25). How reasonable are those prices? We also saw that Marlborough has a refrigerated case with Grab and Go meals and stuffed breads. They are open from 6AM - 6PM on weekdays and 6AM - 3PM on weekends. We are now fans.

They were indeed for . . . Later. I bought 5 different flavors to share with my family. I bought two lemon, because I definitely wanted to try the lemon. I also bought a Chocolate Peanut Butter, a Biscoff,, a Salted Caramel Butter Pecan, and a Strawberry. I tried the lemon and the Salted Caramel. The cake and icing in both were fresh, and had good flavor and texture. The flavors were accurate to description. There was a small reservoir of flavoring that extended from the bottom of the icing layer into the cake. That's always a nice touch in my book. My one note rating-wise, is that the cupcakes were not as ornate as the top tier CT cupcake places I've been to. Still tasty though. The shop was more functional than cute, but it was definitely professional and clean. Service was helpful and friendly. 4.25 Stars

First off the window art is so sweet and the vibes are cozy. I had an iced coffee with diary free and sugar free vanilla (which is very hard to do to make taste good), but it was perfect!! I also ordered the BYO everything bagel sammy. My daughter had a raspberry and choco chip muffin and a refresher. Everything was so good. I've recently had to take a break from gluten because of health concerns, but I will definitely be back to support this local business. I highly recommend to anyone even if you aren't gluten free on the regular, because their food is good regardless.

I was recently diagnosed with celiac, so when I realized everything was gluten free, I was honestly overwhelmed with excitement. I wanted to try everything. Since it was after 11, I decided on a chicken quesadilla--and wow. It was crispy, cheesy, and everything I've been missing about quesadillas. The coffee was delicious too. We split a peanut butter sandwich cookie, which was absolutely incredible. I also took a blueberry muffin to go because I knew I'd want it the next day--and I was blown away all over again when I enjoyed it with my coffee at home. This is definitely going to be a regular stop for me!

What I really wanted was, well, everything, but I contented myself with Heineken beer bread, dill pickle chips, and merlot wine jelly that I picked up for a friend (I hadn't even known that wine jelly was a thing!). Um... wow. Before I knew it, I'd eaten a third of the beer bread, and I had to remind myself that the loaf was tiny and should be conserved. Soft, dense, rich, a hint of sweetness, a hint of beer. Delightful. The pickles, somehow, blew me away even more. They were the freshest tasting pickles I'd ever had, teeming with dill; although they were chips, I felt that it might be a crime to obstruct their taste by stuffing them inside a sandwich. No, these were meant to be enjoyed on their own. I'm creating this entry on Yelp because I genuinely feel that what Maria makes in her kitchen deserves all the attention it can get. I haven't yet heard back about the wine jelly, but seeing as how both of the items I bought were a solid 10/10, I think I can be confident in what I'll hear!

I prefer it to be made from Single Origin beans, from places like Africa that have bright flavor profiles. And I prefer a medium light roast that highlights the quality of the bean. Most places make their iced coffee from blends and medium dark or dark roast levels. Grounded Coffee Co is the rare CT coffee shop that made my iced coffee with an Ethiopian Single Origin roasted by Ilse. Ilse, a North Canaan, CT, was not on my radar. They are now. This was one of the best iced coffees I've had from a shop all year. And it matched my preferences. Grounded is small, but the shop was cute, had some inside seating, and seemed to have an outside seating area, although I did not go out back to see it. Service was friendly and helpful. Very impressed with this visit experience. Five Stars.
