Quirky but kind of a greasy spoon. Our French toast order and egg on croissant sandwich were served burnt. Tasteless coffee. Lackadaisical service. I don't know why it gets decent reviews in a town that has excellent restaurants. read more

This is one of those places that reminds me why we should always dine local over chains, if possible. I was amazed at how friendly the staff here was and how they treated us. We had a few hours to kill before our flight, so our local friend wanted to show us the cute little town of Chester. She recommended this spot for brunch; It's small, cute and incredibly charming. The prices were cheap and the food was great. They have a few tables inside or a couple outside, and sits right in the heart of the town. The Villager is awesome... I'd gladly come back here in a heartbeat when I'm back in town! read more

This place is definitely legit. They do not have Omelettes on the menu, but we're kind enough to make one upon my visit. Great service, food, and atmosphere. Keep up the outstanding work! read more

Delicious sandwiches, everything is done efficiently and well, casual atmosphere. Great for a quick breakfast sandwich.

Quick service, tasty food, good customer service. Also love the unique menu options -- while they have the typical breakfast selections, they also have a variety of other unique options which we love! read more

Small cozy cafe that was rated by CT magazine as having the best sandwiches in the state. In addition to having about every breakfast and lunch sandwich variation known to man, they also use all local ingredients for all of their sandwiches. I came for breakfast and was pleased to see that they have both indoor and outdoor seating, coffee, and a few pastry options. I got a coffee, a pasty, and a breakfast sandwich. The coffee was not very good, however the breakfast sandwich was phenomenal and the pastry was very solid as well. The owners/staff were very friendly as well 7.5 read more

An update is beyond overdue. I am in here at least once a week now and still continue to be blown away by their amazing breakfast creations. Recently, they had a breakfast Reuben and one of my other favorites had a whole roasted poblano with sweet Thai chili oil on Texas toast with eggs and sausage. Kyle and Mike have brought the breakfast sandwich to a whole new level. You have got to come out here and see for yourself. Super fast and amazingly delicious. read more

The only down is that they're not open later for lunch. This place is the best in town, because they have great food, they're friendly and nice, the prices are reasonable. read more

Great breakfast sandwich. Very filling and they have lots of creative options. Prices are pretty solid too. The only downside is the st parking, other than that it's a great place to stop and eat. read more

I ordered two bacon egg sandwiches on a hard roll the rolls were grilled and when I got them home they were grilled black it was really hard to find the bacon in it so I don't think I'll be going back to here read more

We stopped off for a quick bite while traveling south. We found this cute little gem in the quaint town of Chester. Super friendly staff greeted us cheerfully. The menu had tons of fresh options for breakfast and lunch. I ordered the the Farmers BLT and it was nothing short of magical. Perfectly prepared egg salad with the usual BLT fare. Effing GENIUS!!!! Hubby got the burger special which was topped with chili and served with a side of potato salad. Righteous grub!!! If you're near this part of the world, swing through. You'll thank me!! read more

We LOVE this place. If we're free, we drive over from Essex, have a great brunch then go for a walk. the food, the hosts? the BEST.

I don't like waking up before noon, but if I'm in Chester, my boyfriend can often lure me out of bed with promises of breakfast at The Villager. Their breakfast sandwiches and absolutely delicious, and they've got excellent iced coffee. I almost always go with the breakfast burrito or one of the daily specials. Most days there are three specials, all of which are incredibly tempting, on top of the standard menu. If you're in Chester and you want breakfast, The Villager is a solid choice. read more

Absolutely and without a doubt the best simple breakfast sandwich I have ever eaten. If heading for the Chester Market on a Sunday make it a point to have / share one these. They are big enough to share. read more

A diverse daily special breakfast menu- voted best in the state. Mike and Kyle treat you like family and will go out of their way to make sure you are pleased with your meal.

We stopped in on a spontaneous hiking trip. Found em on yelp in a quick search and veered of Route 9 last second. Could not have hit the spot better! All of our breakfast sandwiches were a picture of perfection. Grade A small town spot. read more

Best egg sandwich around!! How can something so simple be so amazing? Eggs and bacon cooked to perfection. Perfect soft, chewy roll. Very addictive! read more

Like to stop in here for a sandwich while I'm checking out the farmer's market on Sunday's. Hearty two-egg sandwiches, great prices.

A great find. Simple menu, but the best version of every choice. Not your average ho-hum sandwiches, they put a lot of creativity into the menu and change it daily to rotate favorite. This immediately felt like everyone's favorite place. Always friendly and even accommodating if you need something specific or customized. read more

Great place to grab a quick breakfast with good prices. Some might even call it inexpensive when compared to other Chester establishments.

Simply awesome! High quality ingredients, skillfully prepared, in delicious combinations. This place is very small, about 16 seats, but come for the food, not the dining area or ambience. read more

Decent coffee shop, nothing special. Had a croissant and iced coffee but their specialty seems to be egg sandwiches. No espresso drinks but cute and cozy. Right next to new local internet radio station. Some sidewalk seating. read more

Great, small cafe with friendly service and good food! Very accommodating and a comfortable environment. Had a wife array of items to choose from, nothing crazy, pretty standard but all sounded great and what we got was very good read more

Kyle & Mike consistently make great breakfast and lunches at the Villager. We have been eating Kyles food since he was the chef at the former Fiddlers in Chester. read more

I really enjoy having breakfast here... best egg sandwich within miles... the price and service are great. Can not beat the small home town location. read more

The absolute best. The egg sandwiches are incredible and the daily specials will never let you down.

Great place, amazing food, very very friendly staff. The Villager has the best food, whether that be breakfast or lunch, and every day there is a brand new specials menu for both breakfast and lunch. It's so hard to chose what to order here because it all sounds amazing. Definitely the better breakfast place over Simons--The Villager has more options, better prices, and extremely friendly staff. 10/10 would recommend!! read more

WE stopped here unexpectedly off the high way because our children needed to use the bathroom. The Villager was already closed, but they let us in to use the restrooms. Also they gifted the kids muffins! We bought an iced coffee, which was wonderful! And they would not except an extra tip! Very Kind!!! If I lived there , I would go there all the time , just to be around they friendly attitudes! read more

Charming. Cozy. Wonderful breakfast spot. Go there if you're in the area.

Stopped in for lunch yesterday. I tried the meatballs and pasta fajoli. The meatballs were homemade not store bought which were awesome as well as the sauce. The pasta fajoli was like my grams, with meat, delicious. Definetly go again to try some others. Very friendly couple, at least I think they were a couple. As for the previous reviewer posted regarding the bathroom there is one, just needed to ask. read more
