The…read moreblack-and-white, comic-style design is incredibly fun and makes the space feel playful and unique which is very Instagram-able and definitely a spot you come to for the experience and photos alone. I absolutely loved the idea and the overall vibe of the cafe. That said, we came specifically for coffee and mochi donuts, and unfortunately those fell a bit short. The coffee was just okay, and the mochi donuts weren't great - ours tasted on the staler side, which was disappointing. Overall, I really think this place has a lot of potential. The service is great and the concept is very unique for this area, and with some improvements to the quality and freshness of the food and drinks, it could easily become a go-to spot. Worth checking out for the aesthetic, but I'm hoping the menu catches up to how cool the space is.

I've wanted to check this place out for a while since they are so close to my house and glad I did!…read moreThere's plenty of parking in the back lot and they have their own entrance. The cafe is pretty big, they have a separate room for events! Plenty of photo ops throughout. They have a menu of sandwiches as well as pastries and such. I ordered the caramel macchiato and my gf got the taro bubble tea. I tried both and loved them! The woman at the counter was very helpful. It was approx $15 for both which is expensive but I'd rather pay that to a small business owner than some big corporation.

I ordered a large latte with cinnamon, a croissant for chocolate chip cookies and a heated cinnamon roll. All this took 20 minutes to get. The staff seemed to be overwhelmed by the amount of people and took very long time to fulfill the order. Which was unfortunate because the coffee is actually pretty good, and it looks like they have a lot of events at this space that would be fun to come back to. Like a poetry open Mike game nights art painting. But the care in service leaves a lot to be desired. The cinnamon roll was soft and tasty and not overly sweet, which I appreciated and the chocolate chip cookies were also very good. the croissant was smashed inside the take away container as an afterthought and not with any care. This is something that I believe warrants attention by Management to train the staff. And waited essentially 25 minutes after ordering for

The quesadilla and fries were good - neither were greasy like you'd get from other to-go orders. The meals were all reasonably priced. Eatery Cafe Kitchen is not located on Route 46, but just off Bloomfield Ave where the road splits so it's kind of off the beaten path but worth it! It's women owned and think I heard her say it's certified Halal as well. I was shocked to see that the place was empty but maybe people come here more for take out than dining in? Either way, I will be back because I think I found a new spot for bfast/lunch close to home in Fairfield!

They almost resembled meat sticks (finger thickness or slimmer) than standard breakfast sausages. You can assemble your own crepes, dessert or savory.

There were also people doing homework or holding meetings. Plenty of room for everyone! The lights and soft music make it cozy and relaxing.

With a vibrant interior and welcoming atmosphere, the Twisted Tulip should not be skipped. I came here on a Tuesday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of folks working on laptops. This is the perfect place to curl up with a beverage of choice, little snack, and buckle down to get some work done. Despite the amount of people, the noise volume was moderate. Service was good, but a little brisk. The interior is decorated with various pieces of art and there are dog treats in the front for your pet. The exterior has outdoor seating which is really nice. I got the pistachio macaron which was the perfect texture, but a bit lacking in flavor. I also got the pumpkin marshmallow latter which was surprisingly not that sweet to my relief. It really hit that pumpkin flavor spot. Price point was $10 with $1 tip, pretty standard for this area. In my previous visits, I got the chai latte which I thoroughly enjoyed. This is the perfect hang out spot for group projects or for getting work done. Can't recommend enough.

We thought it was a cozy café, but it's actually more of a deli. There were only 3-4 tables, and it didn't really have the café vibe we were expecting. I ordered a cappuccino, and it was actually pretty good. We didn't stay long, though, since it wasn't the kind of place we had in mind. Overall, it's a decent spot if you're looking for a quick coffee or deli-style food, but don't expect a cozy café atmosphere.

There's free street parking right up front. I've been here twice and both visits were positive experiences. The cafe is small, but cozy. The greenery and natural lighting make it a welcoming space to meet up with a friend over coffee and pastries or to study. There's a few tables, a couch, and stool seating facing the window. There's also free wifi and outlets. The tables are on the smaller side and the cafe isn't that big, so it's probably not best for large groups. Their menu is simple and a bit limited. Honestly... I prefer it that way! They have your core espresso drinks and a few paninis and croissant sandwiches. They bake their own pastries fresh on the premises. I recommend trying their cookies - they are huge, soft, and chewy! They also specialize in custom cakes for special occasions. Everything is reasonably priced. Baristas are sweet and efficient. They make some tasty iced lattes! The espresso is strong, but not too bitter. It has just the right balance of coffee and milk. I recently tried the Ham Solo sandwich ($10) which included scrambled egg, ham, cheddar, and avocado on a croissant with a side of chips. It wasn't bad, but I wouldn't order it again. The egg was dry and the ham and cheese tasted like those cheap, pre-sliced ones from grocery stores. If I lived closer, I could see myself stopping by more often. Check them out if you're in the area!

The espresso is exactly what you'd expect in a café in Rome or Naples, rich, bold, and full of flavor. You can tell they take real pride in serving coffee the traditional Italian way.

The staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly, which adds to the inviting vibe of the place. I'm so happy to finally have a place in town that truly captures the Italian café experience. Can't wait to come back and I'll definitely be bringing friends!
