“Now this is a diamond in the rough! Outstanding atmosphere! I was in the area getting recall repairs. I left my car and just bumped into this place. This warm and comforting establishment where the people are warm and chillaxed! The bartender was/is just well organized and welcoming! Thank you all for great experience!😊“
“We have been coming to Muddy Waters Cafe for last couple of years every Sunday. The atmosphere is lively ( college & Coast Guard students ) and although usually crowded, the line moves quickly. Great egg sandwiches on fresh bagels, pastries, sandwiches and salads. Tomato soup is delicious. The back deck is wonderful to watch activity in the harbor and Amtrack trains. Hopefully it will reopen soon after a fire in their basement . The employees are friendly and very efficient. Totally recommend if in New London.“
“Was very busy in the a.m. due to the St. Patrick’s Day parade ☘️ but barista was calm & very pleasant despite the long line. Great artsy vibe for all ages. Chai Latte was perfectly made! Worth stopping in if you’re passing through the area!Parking: Parking was difficult due to the parade but there is parking at a grocery store a short distance away.Kid-friendliness: Very child friendly.“
“From the time you walk in the doors, you feel good about your decision to eat there.....huge selection of great tasting food, great service, decent sized portions and a great atmosphere is what you can expect from this place....go once, you'll be back!“
“Can only comment on a few items... Buttery smooth lattes with the Canyon Coffee they use. Great Chicken Salad sandwich! Really good Rotisserie Chicken and sides. Drip coffee is really good too. Egg sandwich is a tad bland, but solid. Staff is always really friendly.“
“I came here on a whim and I am so glad I did! The barista (whom I think is an owner) was so approachable, friendly, knowledge, and above all welcoming. His suggestions were on point, and he really thought about what I said before making a suggestion.The coffee: salted caramel iced coffee with a little cream... Chef's kiss!I was going to take my coffee and muffins to go but the lure of nerd books, comfy couches, and chill music drew me in.i can't remember the last time I actually sat and drank coffee in a coffee shop, but I couldn't pass this opportunity up!I honestly don't write reviews but I feel the need to let others know how great this place is! I will most definitely be back!Parking: This is a strip mall that use to be a school. Parking is where the busses use to line up. Worse case there is more parking across the street, and there are crosswalks.Kid-friendliness: There are some kids toys in the corner, and books for adults too. The couches are low and comfortable.“
“This place speaks for itself upon walking in. Very friendly, very cozy and very helpful. My sister and I came in today and got two sandwiches each. We both got the bacon egg and cheese (one on multigrain and the other on a bagel). The blue and the East beats west with a soup on the side. We wanted to sample how the food is here. The guy at the counter was very sweet and the food took maybe 15 minutes to come out despite all tables being full. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good time to sit down and have a good meal with someone“
“The food at the village cafe is incredibly good. The meals are delicious and made with real ingredients. The owners and staff are always welcoming and go out of their way to accommodate customers. I have been going there since they opened and everything is always kept meticulously clean.“
“Love this spot for breakfast. They offer so many choices, it makes for a difficult decision. There were tons of decadent choices like stuffed French toast, but lots of lower calorie choices as well. It has a very charming family feel and the coffee bar is self serve. I love that! My only request would be to add smaller plates to the menu. A 3-egg omelet is just too much for me, but the choices, again, were so tempting.“
“Went somewhere new for date night and Manana Cafe did not disappoint! Started with the homemade tortilla chips and guacamole, which was better than we’ve ever tried elsewhere..fresh fried chips were amazing! I had the mole poblano con pollo and hubby had cochinita pibil (shredded pork with citrus and tortillas). Both were delicious, authentic and fresh. We also tried a spicy margarita and the cinnamon honey margarita and enjoyed both. Service was friendly and sweet and we were checked on often but not invasively. Was a little pricey but was to be expected for the quality and authenticity. It was a win for us, 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“I found this place online and thought I would give it a shot. The second I walked in I was greeted by the worker who was very friendly. I told him I was there to study and get some coffee/something to eat. He got me on the wifi and told me to stay for as long as I wanted. I first ordered a cappuccino and it was so good. He didn't charge me then and said when I was ready to leave he could ring me up. It felt like he was a nice guy and trusted me. I ended up getting a breakfast sandwich too and it was amazing. One of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had in a while. Overall this place has great service and quality coffee and food. Highly recommend this place to anyone, especially if you need to get work done or study.“
“I just had my first experience at this coffee shop, and it quickly became my new favorite! Everything so clean, the selection to choose from is posted and while there are SO many options, the esthetics are so neat that it is easy to navigate and find the treat that calls you. I am currently enjoying the best iced coffee ever, flavored FRENCH TOAST with a dash of cream. Everyone is super friendly. Definitely a refreshing way to start the day. Highly recommended!!!“
“I live nearby and have been getting food from here since I was a kid. The food has always been consistently good. I’ve never had anything there that I didn’t like. The Greek style pizzas are all really good. The grinders have good bread and they aren’t stingy with the meat. The owners and staff are always wonderful.“
“What a great deli! I’ve been driving past this area for a long time and never knew what a gem this place was. Stopped in for a quick bite before going to the train station. Friendly service, tons of food options, huge portions, and most importantly, delicious sandwiches. Had an Italian with everything on it and a pastrami with mustard, onions, and Swiss cheese. These were 1/2 grinders and we were stuffed! Will definitely be coming here more often.“
