    Wellness Matcha Tea Latte

    Cute atmosphere, lovely picnic benches outside to sit on. Looks like they make the most of the parking in the front area and there is a cute market across the street for breads and a few fresh items. Lovely little gift shop. Also, the service was great. It was quick they look like hard workers in the kitchen and the girl at the front was sweet. She actually smiled, which is hard to find these days.

    Perfect spot for healthy nutritious food plus staples. Music will start weekly summer 2023. There's ample seating both inside and out.

    We visited during the Music on Main on a Saturday evening in August and it was SO pleasant. Live music outside- a great local band performing mellow Jazz tunes- as we sat at a picnic table with the sun going down and the warm temperatures easing. We enjoyed the tacos from the cafe, a beef brisket and mojo pork in soft corn tortillas, packed with flavor. Later we enjoyed a tiramisu and cheesecake for dessert. Delicious! I really hope 9 Main Cafe continues to offer this on Saturday nights. It was the perfect way to spend a weekend evening in New Preston.

    First, it's adorable both in and out. I ordered grill chicken which I had to ask to have warmed through because otherwise it was being given to me cold. Along with the chicken, I ordered the artichoke and tomato salad on the side. Both the chicken and salad were fresh and tasty. It was a very satisfying and healthy lunch. I probably should have stopped there but because I LOVE coffee, I decided to get a latte and not just any latte but the honey vanilla latte on their specials menu with pink-lavender vanilla cold foam. I was told that this drink's default size is a small whereas the mocha latte my friend ordered had a default size of large. Okay... my latte came out to nearly $10. Yup, $10 for a small while my friend's large mocha was roughly $5. I love trying new things and was hoping this latte would knock my socks off but sadly it did not. My socks stayed securely on my feet as I drank this expensive concoction. First, they used a syrup which you can see laying at the bottom of the cup separated from the coffee. I mixed it as best as I could to try to taste the drink as intended. Sadly, I did not taste the lavender nor did I taste honey. I did taste vanilla however the bitterness of the coffee hijacked that simple flavor. It's a cute place to try but I can't say that I'd trek back out there purposely to get a coffee there. I shouldn't of had to ask for my grilled chicken to be heated through as that is something that is expected. Who eats cold grilled chicken? A little more effort from this establishment and a watchful eye on their prices would definitely bring this charming spot up to 5 stars. Till then, they are 3/5 stars in my book.

    Loved Smithy Café! Classic and quintessential New England charm, the place is just adorable with gorgeous windows, views, and seating areas. Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing- very hearty, two eggs, plenty of bacon or sausage, and well seasoned. You could see the cracked black pepper. So delicious. I loved my peppermint mocha latte as well. Service was great- very friendly, food was made to order and came out in a very timely manner. It was brought to our table. Cannot wait to come back to try other breakfast item, maybe some bakery treats, and definitely lunch! 10/10 :)

    When your cafe has outdoor seating with a stealthy great view of a beautiful waterfall, you probably don't have to have great food. But the Smithy Cafe (with a cool market across the street) has great sandwiches worthy of a day trip when combined with other things in the area (driving from Hartford, you'll also pass the outstanding Arethusa ice cream and Bantam Bread Co., and you're almost to Kent Falls Brewing). My grilled cheese sandwich with tomato and bacon jam was very good, but I have to admit that I straight up abandoned it for my wife's French dip when she tapped out. If you've ever had an Italian beef in Chicago, it was really a cross between that and a French dip and hit all the right soft, crunchy, spicy, tangy, umami buttons. Their market across the street had good stuff too - including great artisan local sour dough.

    Ordering was easy. Everyone is polite and nice. Food was made and arrived fast. Everything tasted amazing and flavorful. Happy out of state customer (FL).

    Horrible service. Way overpriced food and an owner who is downright mean. I don't get it. How do they stay in business?

    Always great for a quick breakfast and the seasonal menu items are tasty. The market across the street is wonderful too!
