    the front of the restaurant at dusk

    I love, love, LOVE this place!! I go to The Herbery every time a I need a little pick me up or just to relax with a cup of tea and one of the BEST SCONES THAT I HAVE EVER HAD!!! Truly, go and get a scone... you won't regret it! The owner, Susan, is so kind and welcoming. She always has a smile and a kind word for everyone that stops by. Incredibly, if you have time to chat with her, you will find out that not only did Susan design the building but she has lived and worked on the property growing flowers and herbs for over 30 years! She is so knowledgeable about a variety of topics. The tea selection is amazing and you can purchase a cup or pot of any of them. The shop is so pretty with an amazing assortment of herbs, garden and home accents, and ornaments. There is a side porch with seating and, in the summer, there are swinging hammock chairs to enjoy your tea or one of the blended drinks on the menu. If you are on the shoreline or even in Connecticut, this is a truly delightful tea garden that is a must visit!

    The store is a treasure trove of cheeses, food items and gifts for your foodie friends and family…read more I have been meaning to stop in for some time now and today was the day. I found the imported and homeland cheese selection to be quite extensive. All of my favorites plus plus plus. Carson served me as I chose a few different cheese, bread and meat items with tastes along the way. I also met Christine who is the shop owner and had a great exchange with her. The store was well stocked with specialty foods, gift items and lots of holiday paper napkins. I went in for cheese knives and found a nice selection to choose from. There were still lots of table/kitchen/dining items even though it was right after we rang in the new year. I definitely be back for more!

    In Old Saybrook on Main Street I stopped by Cafe Toscana for some coffee with my two friends. This…read moreis a tiny little coffee shop that also makes some breakfast options. It looks cute from the outside, but looks like it could use a little refreshment both inside and outside. The outside screen door is hanging by a thread. The man working inside appeared to be the owner. And he was the only one I saw working. There was a woman in front of me, who was waiting for her order. Then it was my turn, I walked up to the counter to place my order, and he immediately said "do you know what you want? I'll take him instead." Referring to a customer sitting down. I just walked over, I wasn't hanging out. I'd say that's a bit uninviting and off putting. I quickly ordered a French Vanilla ice coffee, a hot coffee and an ice tea. There is an area where you can add what you need to your coffee. At the counter there is a sign that says to step away after you make your order. We got our coffees and sat outside. These were actually 20 ounce coffees for $10.00 altogether, so it was a real bargain. My coffee was perfect, flavorful, fresh and delicious! He truly makes excellent coffee here. I didn't like how off putting he was. Starbucks is just a few doors away. I'd much rather support a small business like this one then a chain like Starbucks. Coffee is excellent, I can't speak for the breakfast, there's plenty of room for improvement for the establishment and the vibe inside.

    This place has gone downhill. Used to be cute and quaint... now it's filthy. There's a plastic…read morecontainer on the counter holding baked goods that's visibly dirty, and the AC unit is caked with dust. I noticed all of this while I waited for my food and wanted to cancel my order. How clean can the kitchen be? Sorry, the place needs an overhaul.
