    Place was very cutely decorated! It was a lot smaller inside than I expected, and claustrophobic…read more There are only a few tables at the counter, a large round table that looked like 5-6 were sitting at, and 4-5 bar stools seats facing out the front window. There's an upstairs with a coffee table, a bean bag chair and two chairs (and lots of artists wares for sale on the wall). There are a few tables outside, so waiting until it's warm enough or ordering To-Go would be my suggestion. I shared pictures of the beautiful breakfast plates we received. The food was delicious! The sausage I asked for in my Eggs Benny was delicious! They were clearly homemade sausage that had a nice rosemary flavor. My husband's breakfast star was the chef made ham steak slices, and the rosemary sourdough toast. Yes, I recommend the food here! We were rather disappointed by the temperament of the person we assumed is the owner... when asked if they would please lower the music a little, because I'm healing from a traumatic brain injury (and it was blasting commercials and music; it wasn't a pleasant music track or album), said with an attitude "Sorry I can't control where the speakers are", and from that point seemed a lot less friendly. Her attitude didn't ruin the taste of the food, but this was a special outing (my first in 3 years since falling on black ice), near Goodspeed Opera House. This is a touristy area and people that run breakfast/brunch spots are usually friendly and eager to help with small requests. Often interactions with the restaurant staff adds greatly to the experience. Her sour grapes and refusal to help me feel comfortable by lowering it a smidge (I was already wearing noise cancelling ear buds, just so you understand how loud it was and that she didn't turn it down even a tiny bit), made breakfast less nice. We won't be returning ~ there are so many restaurants struggling to survive after Covid, we'd rather spend our time and money there.

    This was a wonderful place, best selection on high end long lasting fabrics like Eddie Bauer duck…read morecloth. Other fabric stores do not compare. Joann fabrics will be sorely missed. There is nothing like shopping in person, seeing what you are buying, not buying if not up to your expectations. Getting craft paint for $1.49 vs the same paint online and paying under $10 with shipping and handling, not to mention packaging bad on the environment, and the wait time to receive it. The majority of their items were better than average and those who sew or do crafts know better materials and products yield better results.

    Every time I shop here, I tell myself never again. Why? Well they never have any shopping carts…read moreavailable, the place is always a mess, there's always tons of things out of stock, and the employees seem like they'd rather be getting a root canal than working here. Yet as a crafter, my options are limited because I refuse to shop at Joann's main competitor down in East Haven for political reasons. So here I am, once again looking for fabrics for my next quilt. Fortunately, I know how to shop the sales and maximize the coupons to my benefit enough to find what I need. I'm not quite organized enough to plan ahead and order things from better sources online, so when I need, I keep coming back here. I keep hoping that upper management can get this (and all the other Joann stores out there) turned around so it's a more pleasant customer experience.

    When you need lighting (as a homeowner) I don't think I have ever been to a better location than…read moreValley lighting. My wife got a recommendation to VL from a coworker. Now I recommend VL to all of you. We have been shopping for lighting as we update the outside of our 1970's CT colonial and our kitchen. Countless websites with thousands of pictures led to some frustration and we decided to go visit some lighting stores. Some stores may be highly recommended but are really for designers, they are by appointment only, have a very limited supply for a showroom, but offer a really big screen so you can browse their website (ugh!) Others have a bigger supply in the showroom and have nice people who understand lighting. Then there is Valley Lighting! They had a huge selection to look at (and touch) a friendly staff who really knew their inventory, availability and options and were also full of ideas that made us open up the options we were considering. We worked with Zac and he was really great as we waffled on every aspect from design, color, and size. We settled on a design for the outdoor lights in about 20 minutes, after searching for the last several weeks. We purchased 2 Large, 2 Medium, and 2 Small lights to mount on the exterior as well as 3 post lights for the driveway. They also had a huge selection of lightbulbs and guided us through witch wattage and color would work best for our application. This seems elementary that a lighting store would do this, but I haven't seen it elsewhere. We were able to bring home two lights which I mounted (pictured) and the rest were ordered and we expect them in 2 weeks. Now that we accomplished this project it is time to finalize the kitchen lights and for that we will certainly return to VL.

    We had a good experience here yesterday. They have a nice…read moreselection of lighting but it's not too overwhelming. We had no problem getting help and had most of our questions answered quickly. It's more expensive than the box box home improvement places but it's higher quality lighting so you get what you pay for. There are surprisingly few larger lighting places around here and this one is worth a look.
