“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!“

White Glove service with delicious ice cream !!Shahan arrived with a freezer, toppings , warm syrups,cups spoons, a wonderful partner and Amazing Service!!!!!!this was a retirement party- reasonably priced and delicious . i cannot say enough about their service, flexibility and quality!!Can recommend without reservation!!!“
“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 :-)!“
“Excellence in a glass is the best way to describe this brewery. Armada has a wonderful lineup of brews like their well-balanced "Till Death" hibiscus lager, and the super smooth coffee infused "A Tale of Two Kings" golden stout. I highly recommend stopping here for a pint and 4-packs to go ?“
“Drinks: 5/5Services: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5Pricing: a little pricey Overall: 5/5 Found this hidden gem in the middle of west haven CT. My friends and I were blown away by the overwhelming amount of flavors they offer for their shakes. It was an experience for us when we visited. We ordered Jamocha and Christmas Crack shakes that came we teas as complimentary. Don't let the overwhelming flavors deter you from trying out the drinks because they were very delicious. I love the fact that they are not too sweet and overly chocolate-y. They also use healthy ingredients to help you increase your vitamins/supplements intake (not for medical purposes). The service was excellent as well. 10/10 recommended!“
“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“
“Friendly, kind, nice conversations.Ciders were good. To each its own tastes. We bought a 4 pack of the blueberry which was closely related to "passion fruit" cider.Pizza wasn't to my liking. It was very oily. My husband had to try to take it off. And it was doughy. I personally like my pizza crispy. She claimed it was. .. nope. The pig chips and nuts tasted stale. Suppose to be glazed with beer cider. I don't know, in this case maybe I'm the one with the issue. Though ! We did see the ability to order platter of cheese n crackers, but they were out.. Lol.It's okay. It was a Sunday and they seem to be very slow then. So.if you want a quiet place to just sit and enjoy your moment in quiet, then this is good to go. On Sundays.Vegetarian options: Seen that they have a vegan pizza“
“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 “

“I enjoyed everything about Billy's Old Fashioned Ice Cream. My husband grew up in the area, this was my first time.The decor super cute with a working model train going around on the track.No one was yet at the ice cream counter but a nice girl / women came over right away we had no wait.Our order was two sundaes. My sundae was coffee carmel expresso with peanut sauce, whipped cream, cherry, and chocolate sprinkles. The 2nd sundae my husband's usual the classic vanilla ice cream with hot fudge, whipped cream, and crushed oreos.One thing I noticed about Billy's that was done differently which I enjoyed our chosen sauces were through out our sundaes. Several places I have been to for ice cream the sauce is either just on top of the ice cream or over the whipped cream. Good technique Billy's.“
“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.“
“Lovely vineyard with an excellent selection of wine. Enjoyed the wine tasting they have. I’ve been quite a few times and enjoyed it each time. It’s gorgeous when the sun is setting too. You feel like you are in the most serene, peaceful environment. The ambience is everything. My friends and I brought some cheese, crackers, grapes and with their wine, it was both perfect and memorable. Highly suggest going there for a romantic evening, an evening out with friends, or for any special event. 10/10!!“
“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!“
“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 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“
“On a dreary January afternoon this tucked away vineyard offers charm and warmth. The Washington Red is a lush and flavorful merlot . Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Enjoy a glass or 2 with friends here and enjoy the positive vibes.“
“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“
“The place is very sophisticated and neat. The customer service was A1 and the waitresses were very friendly. Additionally, the decoration of the restaurant represents Peruvian culture in great detail and is reflected in the delicious dishes we order. I won't be able to stop recommending this restaurant.“
“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“
