“I recently attended an outdoor concert event at Thimble Island Brewing Company in Branford, CT, featuring the amazing band, The Zoo, and let me tell you, it was an absolute blast! The brewery provided the perfect backdrop for an evening of live music and good vibes. The atmosphere was electric, the beer was flowing, and The Zoo rocked the house! It was a memorable experience that I won't soon forget. Thimble Island Brewing Company knows how to throw a party, and I can't wait to go back for more!Marisa Balletti-Lavoie“
“Their vegan options are plentiful, and every dish we had was delicious. We had the Vegan crab cakes, and the Vegan layer dip. The previous time we had the Vegan burger and Vegan tacos, which were delicious also. Staff are courteous and attentive. The view from the restaurant is nice, and the decor/atmosphere is spot on! Highly recommend!Vegetarian options: Great vegan selection“
“Yesterday my wife and I had the pleasure of finding a new, to us, go to place. We were attending a Drag show that a friend of ours was a part of and we didn't know what to expect from a restaurant in and old gas station. Well hang onto your hats folks because you are in for a great experience. Jo, the manager has got to be the sweetest thing on this earth since sugar cane. She kept everything moving smoothly while having a constant smile. Kevin, our server, should give classes in how to be a waiter. Attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and again, smiling all the time. All that is well and good but how about the food? I ordered the "Hail Mary" bloody mary. On another day this could have served as my lunch. It is topped with the most delicious hamburg slider, with a side of a perfectly cooked bacon slice and two grilled shrimp. The taste of the burger had me looking for the charcoal grille. So, the presentation was great but the taste of the drink surpassed the look. I highly suggest you give it a try. I ordered the Valdese Burger for breakfast, Another perfectly cooked burger, topped with and egg and hollandaise with a side of a ton of tater tots, yes, tater tots. The waffle my wife had was cooked perfectly and she said the taste was outstanding. We live an hour and a half away, it is worth the trip. She also said, the coffee could make or break a good meal, well, this coffee just added to the overall excellence of the meal. The place was noisy which was to be expected due to the show being presented, Noisy, but, oh so much fun. The place is great. Make it a part of your "places to try" this summer. You will thank me.“
“Great place by the shore, wished it was a bit warmer that day. The selection for lunch was excellent with many choices. I went with the chicken salad and enjoyed that with my Corona. The view is outstanding and right across from the ocean so it was great to have sunlight and an ocean view even if chilly. Really enjoyed my time there looking forward to to going back with others who love the beach!“
“The barista was super kind and gave excellent service- the only place for which the card machine didn’t ask me to tip and where I wish they did because I had no cash.P.S. I ended up finding some money in my car and went back to leave it in the tip jar. Well deserved!! ?“
“Such a welcoming group of people who own and operate the brewery. They were accommodating when my wife needed to use a wheelchair and we wanted a night out of the house. The beer is phenomenal and always coming up with fresh new options. Highly recommend.“
“The staff is incredibly friendly, upbeat, and helpful. Above all, the bagels and shmears are nonpareil!!! The best anywhere. I’m sad that I don’t live in New Haven anymore.Vegetarian options: I think the majority of spreads are vegetarian“
“Cozy atmosphere, strong mixed drinks (i got a hot toddy - perfect on a wintry night). The food here is on point. I enjoyed the mac & cheese!Wheelchair accessibility: They have a built-in ramp to access the front door. You'll probably need help opening the door (iirc it is not automatic/push assist).“
“I live outside of DC and go to a number of Michelin star restaurants… I will flatly say I have had meals that equalled Union League but never one that exceeded it. Couple in their very reasonable pricing, gorgeous building, great staff and this place is extraordinary. I will be visiting my sister in Milford more often in the future :-)!“
“Atmosphere is great, quiet warm and cozy. nice bar and open kitchen. Staff is friendly and attentive. Price is a bit high but Everything was great... Besides the Meatballs. ($18) Seemed frozen. Or cooked bad Tough to break apart, chunky texture. Sauce kind of Bland. I'd give em a 5/10 My wife a 4/10. Would still go back as everything else was great“
“Spacious and clean space to hang out with friends, to get some work/studying done or to just dog watch! Came in around 11am on a weekend and it was pretty quiet, only a few tables were taken. Things picked up a bit later in the afternoon around 1pm but there was still plenty of space for big groups to grab tables/couches. Didn't get a chance to try the beer but the coffee was quality and the peanut butter brownie was sooo good!“
“Great pizza and sides. Should be in the New Haven Pizza conversation more often.Brick oven, Fresh ingredients, nice crunch and undercarriage/ crust. About 5 two person tables So not much for sitting in. More of a take out spot. Well worth it to go pick it up. Out of the down town city area. In Quiet East “
“Lovely little spot with delicious food and drinks! We showed up at 10:30 on a Sunday and got a table after only about 5 min of waiting. The cardamom latte was delicious, as were the California sandwich and the mushroom/squash crepe. Staff were extremely friendly as well!“
“Came in to get a gift for a macaron fan. Interesting and fun range of flavors, natural ingredients, pretty and muted colors. I got 6 ($15, which I felt was good) and she packaged them really nicely so they looked like a gift. She was super helpful and friendly while I was picking them. Overall a great experience, and I heard the macarons are delicious.“
“I finally tried PopCentric and I will say it's in a little strip mall but I did drive by it 2x . But it's a small little place but huge variety of popsicle flavors from chocolate to mango raspberry lime creamsicle etc . They are a bit pricey but it's all natural fruit . It actually had fruit in them . Nice refreshing treat other than ice cream . Good luck to them the staff was very nice . Enjoy Chris M“
“Just popped over to the cafe to grab a bite after reading reviews and was NOT disappointed! Tom was at the register and simply a pleasure to talk to. He recommended one of their egg sandwiches which was delicious (this means a lot coming from someone who isn’t a huge egg fan!); toasted with garlic salt, real white cheddar, a fried egg, and bacon- yum! Also grabbed a dirty chai and some fruit/walnut biscotti. Truth be told I’m having a hard time picking a favorite; the atmosphere and friendliness combined with the dynamite food will definitely make Cedarhurst my go to spot for traveling here in the future!“
“Nestled away from North Main Street is this hidden gem of Italian food. Their marinara sauce is delicious and their portions are just right. It can be a little noisy but it's a good dinner spot for the area ( even if it may take a minute to find parking don't let that deter you.)Parking: Not a lot of parking but worth the effort.“
