Village Cafe

Cafe

👍👍 For me the Village Cafe is the premier breakfast cafe in the area. I eat breakfast there 2 to 3 times a week. The front counter is dutifully manned by Rita who knows everyone by their first names and greets you upon coming in. The food is prepared by Nick, back in the kitchen, who pays attention to...

Craftsman Cliff Roasters

Coffee roasters

👍👍 Craftsman Cliff Roasters is roasting quality coffee beans in the best way! The owner is so committed to roasting the best beans and is excited to talk about the process and his roasting machines. This is no longer a coffee shop with brewed drinks, I made that mistake based on older reviews when they...

Deep River Roasters

Coffee roasters

👍👍 I judge a coffee shop by how well they make a Chai latte, and Deep River Roasters nailed it! It's so great to have them in Centerbrook, and the location is brilliant: in the Witch Hazel factory adjacent to a spacious patio with a beautiful view of the Essex Steam Train. I always get friendly service...

STICK + FIN

Coffee shop

👍👍 Brian & Chiyoko have created a great coffee shop with a cool vibe and amazing decor. The drip coffee is amazing. As a fellow photographer, I love checking out the rotation of prints that Brian (pro photographer) hangs on the walls. If you've not been.....you should...!

Dexter’s Smoothie Coffee Vault

Cafe

👍👍 The smoothies are some of the best around! The owner is so sweet and very kind to everyone. They do allow you to customize all of the smoothies on the menu as well so that they fit your specific wants. It is definitely a must try even if it is a bit of a drive away from where you live. They have suc...

The Nest Coffee House

Coffee shop

👍👍 Great coffee and sandwich shop in the town center. Food is excellent, and coffee is good enough. 3$ large coffee decent. Better in a real ceramic mug! Best thing they have cinnamon, cocoa, and nutmeg if you like (not to be fussy, but vanilla is my favorite). Not many shops do that anymore....

Lucille's Cafe

Coffee shop

👍👍 I was really excited when my friend told me about the new coffee shop/café not too far from where we work. I got a chance to check them out today and what a great place! They're really new, so still working to get their hours lined up with customer flow. I believe they are currently opening at 7am e...

CREAM Coffee Shop

Coffee shop

👍👍 After Craftsman Cliff closed their doors to the public, Norwich was in need for a coffee shop and CREAM delivered! I go everyday after dropping the kids off at school and to see where they’re going is nothing short of amazing. It’s like a community meeting spot where everyone is welcomed.

Long River Local Farm Market & Cafe

Cafe

👍👍 Great spot: A little peace in a hectic area. Foods home made, not some Sysco BS. Check um out.

4.70 (40 reviews) (~20.32 km from centre)

Kin D Thai & Sushi

Restaurant

😐 People were nice enough but food disappointing. Salad fresh and dressing flavor good but too watery. Spring rolls way over fried and filling saturated and very salty (yes I know this type of cuisine is usually salty but this was beyond normal saltiness). Tom ke soup had good flavor and plenty of chi...

Relaxed eatery serving eclectic farm-to-table fare such as scallops & duck breast in warm surrounds.

Mystic River Chocolate Cafe

Chocolate shop

👍👍 We visited on a chilly February day and had a perfect cup of hot chocolate, it was velvety, a tiny bit spicy - perfect. Because it's New England we also ordered a milkshake and ice cream. This is high quality chocolate and well worth the stop.
