Absolutely everything I have ever had has been so good, my friends all agree. We love Bruno's! They switch up their specials - monthly, I believe. Follow them on Instagram! They have multiple locations as well. Specials: Nova's Nutella Latte - with oat milk* Nutella latte topped with cocoa powder Things on the menu that I've had and loved: The Doodle: Sausage, Bacon, Hash Brown, Egg, Cheddar Cheese & Hot Honey on a Bagel The French Riviera Egg, Goat Cheese, Avocado, Arugula, Balsamic Glaze, Sun-Dried Tomatoes & Kalamata Olives on an Il Filone Baguette Di Parma Panini Prosciutto di Parma, Arugula, Goat Cheese, Balsamic Glaze & Apple on an Il Filone Baguette Breky Burrito (Breakfast burrito) 3 Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Cherry Peppers, Hash Brown, Sriracha Aioli & Cheddar Cheese on a Spinach Wrap Bruno's Bite (avocado toast, one of the 6 avotoast options on the menu) Egg, Avocado, Hot Honey, Feta & Chili Flakes The Ville Turkey, Avocado, Bacon, Tomato, Arugula & Sriracha Aioli on Sourdough They have a huge selection of fresh pastries that always look and smell stunning!! Let's talk service! They are always warm and welcoming. Attentive, friendly, patient, accurate and professional! We love that! My daughter nearly learned how to walk here. (She took laps up and down and outside holding my friends' hands... learned how to take her steps without assistance the very next day. If that isn't testimonial enough, Bruno's will always hold a special place in my heart. Also my friends get upset if they find out I went to Bruno's without them ("YOU WENT TO BRUNO's WITHOUT ME?!") Which of course I would not ever do. I always recommend people check out this spot and they always come back grateful and excited to return.

I've heard so much about Bruno's Cafe. I tried going here a few months ago, but they were closed…read morefor renovations. Although a scenic drive to Bruno's, it is completely out of the way for me, but I wanted to try them. This cafe is small, and very busy. They have some seating options, but all the seats were taken. They did have some tables and chairs outside, and it was a pleasant day to sit outside. Their milk is sourced from Arethusa Farms, one of the best, if not THE BEST local dairy resources. Their menu is large with coffee, tea, refreshers, including pastries, breakfast and lunch options. On this trip we got coffees. I got Nova's Nutella Latte, the others got a mocha and Kiwi, Mint & Lemongrass refresher. These were all very pricey, I was a bit taken aback. Each drink was between $9.00 and $10.00. Maybe it's because of the locally sourced milk, I can't think of another reason. My Nutella Latte was very chocholatey and very tasty, but my cup was also filled with ice all the way to the top. The refresher was very sweet, but a unique combo of flavors and pretty refreshing. The mocha was solid. Overall, maybe I got the wrong things at Bruno's, but I can't say I was super impressed, especially at such a high cost.

ORIGIN: Ronald and Johanne Nodine began the family-owned…read moresmoked meats speciality shop in 1969. LOCATION: The shop is in a small wood-clad building set back from a rural country road. Products are processed in USDA-certified facility in neighboring Torrington. CONCEPT: The shop sells a wide variety of smoked meats, including pork, duck, and chicken, with a small inventory of smoked fish. Meats for home smoking or grilling, such as boar and venison burgers, are also available. Sandwiches are available at the counter. ATMOSPHERE: The shop is small, requiring customers to make a loop around the perimeter of the shop before returning to the check out counter with packages of meats at hand. EXPERIENCE: I was in the area during holiday season and picked up smoked bacon and smoked duck breast. These items greatly enhanced the holiday meals I prepared for family. TIPS: Although expensive due to the necessity of chilled and expedited shipping packages, Nodine's products can be purchased from their website and shipped.

I had zero knowledge about which sandwich to get or how great this place was gonna be and apparently how viral it's gone! Everything about this experience was fantastic minus the girl behind the counter who was a bit tired and grumpy. I'll let it pass but she was a bit rude and short which I didn't really enjoy. :( I ordered the chicken Caesar salad sandwich and let me tell you I had no idea how magnificently huge it was going to be but damn that is one tasty sandwich! Yum yum! I showed a picture of it to my girlfriend later and she said you better bring me one next time! That looks yummy! And it WAS!!!! Sorry, I almost forgot the semolina bread was absolutely delicious perfectly crunchy and soft where it mattered! I met Staci she was so warm & lovely and one of her regulars who lives across the street; he seemed very happy! Let's just say it lives up to the hype and it's a pretty damn delicious sandwich! I'd give it five stars for sure! Work on that Customer service with your counter people, just saying... the counter girl gave me attitude and I didn't appreciate it!

There's also limited 15 minute parking behind the jail. The store, I had heard, was a cheese store. But it's a lot more than that. It's more of an international grocery store, with everything you need for a fancy dinner. Noodles, sauce, spices, frozen tortellini, etc, but of course there is also cheese! There's some in small refrigerated cases that are prepacked, and others that are cut to your requested weight. The cashier was very conscientious and weighed out the cheese as closely as she could. It was on the higher end of the price scale, but also delicious and I wish I had more! I tried the Bleu and gorgonzola, and although the gorgonzola was surprisingly soft, they were worth every cent!

Great sandwiches, great soup and even better customer service!…read more We ordered online-we customized our sandwiches (the only thing I would say is that their online system could use some love, it seems a little all over the place and the customization could be a little more in depth) But despite that, we ordered sandwiches and we both ordered the loaded potato soup. We debated on tasting it when we got there and then deciding to buy it (which is actually such a great idea) But we decided that we'd just go for it and ordered the soup too. The soup was phenomenal, so flavorful and warm, it was exactly what we needed on a snowy day. Our sandwiches contained everything we had ordered and they were beautifully made, not too messy but not lacking anything either. A footlong turkey, cheese, L,T, Bacon and Mayo was around $20. My husband's roast beef footlong with L,T, mayo, pickles, peppers, and provolone was a little over $22. A little pricey but like I said before-the sandwich wasn't lacking by any means. I think the best part was walking in and every single person working greets you so warmly. They seem so thrilled to do what they do every day and that alone makes me want to come back.
