And a different time frame. Ravens leans more playful, spacious, Disney and boardgames. A hangout. The latte was good. The croissant was good. The cheesecake was banging. The bathrooms are entertaining and the atmosphere very well done. The service was charming. I love new Milford. And I think this will be a great addition. Especially after 3. They are open till 4 and then 6 on Saturday and 4 on Sunday.

The owner and the girl she had working with her today. Super friendly and welcomed everyone into her shop. The owner talked to every person that came to the register. I ordered their special espresso the Amber Dark Espresso - espresso with butterscotch, milk, and topped with whipped cream and cinnamon. Im going to be honest I have trouble with some coffee spots that are not my normal order at one of those chain places. That was NOT the case with this espresso. It only came in 12 oz as a special. I drank my first one, and went back for another. I am hoping they have this special for a while because I need to have it when II go back. One last thing they have art work to view and board games to play while enjoying your drink!

So I've gone here on a few occasions in recent past for breakfast and lunch -- I have yet to be…read moredisappointed! I seem to keep ordering something on their Special board on the sidewalk (usually for lunch), and this morning had one of their amazing breakfast dishes. All fair and reasonably priced and served quite quickly. Per the recommendation of another poster here, I've been ordering their coffee with a 'heavy' shot of mocha which has greatly improved my enjoyment of such. They offer the mocha as a syrup or powder. I actually tried two baked items (sweets) today which other than being pricey (IMO), were in-fact very good and I'm going to 'assume' home-made. When I arrived it was nice and quiet but by the time I left it was semi-full of yentas and their obnoxious kids so took my baked goods and split (small very loud space!)!

The milk was spoiled so there were chunks in my drink as well as coffee grounds. It tasted sour and also the espresso was not good quality and tasted burnt and overall was just a terrible latte. I have given them many chances and continue to be disappointed

Yelper Don F. finally gave me the extra nudge I needed to stop in... and now I'm seriously mad at myself for not trying Sacred Grounds sooner. All coffee sold here is organic and fair trade, roasted with a light hand to minimize bitterness and maximize the nutty / fruity notes. To channel my favorite Top Chef contestant of all time, Carla Hall, this coffee tastes like it's roasted with love! I can't say enough nice things about the owner, John Rich, who works the COVID-safe takeout window and has evidently donated coffee for Sherman School SPTO meetings for years. He's kind, friendly, low-key and welcoming. (Nice profile here: https://candlewoodlakemagazine.com/2016/02/22/sacred-grounds-coffee-roasters-brewing-up-a-successful-business-that-rocks/) Sacred Grounds is conveniently located right across the street from school, next to the Painted Lemon (though in this town, what isn't? ;). It feels like a wonderful mini vacation to drop the kids off, get my beautifully made cup of drip coffee served in an environmentally friendly-ish paper cup (post pandemic, I wonder if I could bring my own mug?), and drive somewhere for a nice morning hike, coffee in hand, before commuting back to my "office" (guest bedroom). Two human kids and one pup in, I'm no longer a coffee snob. (At 5 a.m. after two hours of sleep, sometimes instant coffee is just how ya gotta roll.) But even I can appreciate the quality of the roasting here, and recognize that I have to give it the time it deserves to properly enjoy it.

Super friendly staff, big table for the 4 of us and puzzles/books on a shelf for the kiddos. Food came quickly and was delicious. They had gluten free bread and non dairy milk options too for coffee. Fresh juices and smoothies as well! We spilled coffee by accident (a fresh cup) and they cleaned up the big mess for us, and even replaced the spilled coffee even though we said they didn't have to. Would def be back if in the area again!

Not terrible and not amazing, she says. Then again, after more than two decades of marriage, I've probably slumped from amazing to fine to annoying. The grilled cheese was a nice treat. I spec'd it with tomato and bacon. While eating, a local did come in and made a beeline for the bathroom. Not sure if it was for a #1 or #2...but since it was already occupied, I guess it was not a #2 emergency.

It was hard to make a decision because of the vast options in the pastry and dessert cases - to the refrigerated cakes and specialty Brazilian items. We ended up getting an iced caramel latte (delicious!) and bacon, egg, and cheese on croissant, plus a cheese empanada. Everything was so good and tasted so fresh! I wish we lived closer to visit more often - but we'll be back whenever in the area. Especially because they freshly squeeze orange and SUGAR CANE juice!

Very tasty but couldn't finish. So had to take it and the slice of pie home. Waitress was nice and always checking to make sure everything was okay and to our liking. Appreciated her service.
