“The food is out of this world!!!!! The fried chicken is so moist and perfect. I got the honey mustard wrap and garlic parm fries and it was divine!!! My bf got the southern fried chicken and it was phenomenal. Even the nachos and chilli were fantastic! Cannot go wrong here. 10/10!!“
“Nestled on **765 Sullivan Ave in South Windsor, CT**, Birdhouse Coffee isn't just a coffee shop; it's a symphony of flavors, warmth, and community. As I stepped inside, the rich aroma of freshly roasted beans enveloped me, inviting me to stay awhile.The baristas, true artisans, take their time crafting each pour-over. I opted for their signature blend, the **"Morning Song"**, a dance of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe and Colombian beans. With every sip, I tasted dark chocolate, ripe berries, and a hint of floral sweetness—a harmonious composition.But let's dive deeper into the coffee symphony Birdhouse offers:1. **Morning Song**: The star of the show, this blend is a morning ritual. It greets you with a gentle crescendo of flavors, awakening your senses for the day ahead.2. **Sunrise Serenade**: A light roast that sings notes of citrus and jasmine. Perfect for those who prefer a delicate melody in their cup.3. **Velvet Sonata**: A medium-dark roast with undertones of caramel and toasted hazelnuts. It's like a warm embrace on a chilly afternoon.4. **Midnight Rhapsody**: For the night owls, this bold blend boasts dark chocolate, smoky cedar, and a touch of mystery. Pair it with a slice of their decadent chocolate cake.And the pastries deserve a standing ovation. The **blueberry scone**, flaky and buttery, burst with juicy blueberries. Paired with my coffee, it was a delightful duet.But Birdhouse Coffee isn't just about the brew; it's about connections. Locals gather here, sharing stories, laughter, and sometimes a game of chess. It's a haven—a place where caffeine meets camaraderie.The rustic wooden decor, soft jazz, and friendly baristas create an inviting ambiance. Whether you're seeking a morning pick-me-up or an evening refuge, Birdhouse Coffee hits all the right notes.So, if you find yourself in South Windsor, follow the melody to Birdhouse Coffee. It's more than coffee; it's a soulful tune—a reminder that life's best moments happen over a cup of warmth.*Disclaimer: This review reflects my personal experience and taste preferences. Yours may vary, but I hope it's as delightful as mine!“
“I love this place! They have by far the best smoothies! Not water or slushy! I wish I could have one every day! My bestie lives in DE now and she still gets one every time she’s up here. Definitely recommend if you want the best smoothie you’ve ever had!“
“I went in on March 19 to get some Zeppoles and I got a box of cookies on a whim. I’ve always preferred the sandwich cookies and chocolate covered ones. Usually, from other places or the grocery store, they’re good but dry and hard. The cookies from Guiseppina’s were the softest most flavorful Italian sandwich cookies I’ve never had. They were absolutely delicious. I will be coming back! The zeppoles were fabulous but I have never had Italian sandwich cookies like that. Thank you!“
“I highly recommend Salute. We ended up at Salute after asking for a recommendation from a coworker for a family dinner. As soon as we walked in, they embraced us as family. All the wait staff was pleasant, knowledgeable and the service was quick, but not at all rushed. When the owner, Jimmy, learned we were there celebrating some big things, he truly went out of his way to make us feel special. I can’t thank him enough for all he did for us. It was our first time there, yet he took the time (on a busy night!) to learn our names, ask questions and congratulate us. The evening was complete with incredible food, gotta get yourself the cheesy garlic bread (YUM!!) and all our meals were generous portions and delicious. We all loved our drinks, too! After mentioning our experience to my brother, we learned him, his girlfriend, and her family had a similar experience. This is how they treat everyone.“
“The food is insanely good. My friend and I dine at Trumbull Kitchen before we attend Hartford Stage, and she was still extolling her dinner on the drive home after the show. She had the marinaded steak. The best thing was the response to her request to replace the fries with veggies. The choices were plentiful, and the side salad that arrived was gorgeous.My dinner was equally delicious, seared tuna with salad. Yummy and beautifully plated. The salad dressing (served on-the-side) was exquisite. We each had reasonably priced glasses of wine.Julian, our waiter was running, as was everyone on staff when it became crazy busy at around six o'clock. The bar was hopping and there was a line waiting to be seated. Yet, he checked on us every 5 to 10 minutes and made sure we were well supplied with the spicy, chip-like crackers that come in the bread basket and are irresistible.If there is one negative, it is the very loud sound system which pumps in thumping music that you might want as background for a weight-lifting class at the gym, rather than for dining. I am sure there is a metric that tells restaurants and bars that people drink more if they can't hear themselves think. Personally, I find it offensive. If I could have done, I'd have changed the selection and turned down the volume.“
“We love having Adam’s ice cream truck at our family events. He’s accommodating and friendly, making booking a breeze. He has a great variety of ice cream and he’s always a hit. I’m looking forward to my next party with the truck.“
“Loved this place!! And will definitely be back (despite living in MA). Friendly & quick service, the staff offered great recommendations on food choices! Food: We got the- 1.Thai Sweet Chile wings were amazing!! The staff said they brine the wings prior to cooking, a detail that I think made a big difference in quality because they were some of the best wings My hubby and I have ever eaten! No fatty half-cooked skin pieces, it was all deliciousness! (Unfortunately no photo because they were devoured so quickly ) 2. The Carini Pizza the staff recommended was perfect! The crust was light and not too thick or thin, right in the middle. This pizza was a garlic aioli base with Genoa salami, hot capicola, Carmelized onions, roasted red peppers, mushrooms, Gorgonzola and mozzarella cheeses. Sooooo good!! I loved that it was a different base than tomato sauce and all the flavors worked together impeccably. Can't wait to eat the leftovers tonight!! It was totally worth stopping here on my drive back to MA! Side note- The pizza and wings totally held up being reheated a couple hours later for dinner. If we lived closer this we definitely be our pizza spot. If you're near Bolton, CT make sure you visit these guys!“
“I’ve been going there for over 12 years and everything is amazing. The chocolates are the best I’ve ever had in my 54 years on earth. You can’t go wrong - everything they make is blessed with artistry, the best ingredients and meticulous care. A true gem in the town. Try the vegan mozzarella too!“
“Everything is delicious!!! Everything!!The wait staff is the best!Waiting in line is worth it!Remember one line only!! Don't even try to cut! Lol!Wheelchair accessibility: It would be very tight but doable!I'm sure they would help get it done if needed. Its just crowded and the hallway is narrow.“
“Found a table quickly at 11am on a Saturday, and the wait in line as well as the wait for our orders was short. I got the Lemon poppyseed scone and it was fantastic!Parking: More parking in the back but wheelchair access is in the front only. Handicap spots were unoccupied so I would imagine it's relatively easy to find a spot.“
“Very nice Italian cafe place. Window views are beautiful ❤️ Food is super delicious but the portion is not as generous as expected for its price. Coffee was very good. They do have vegetarian options. I went with my friends and the overall atmosphere was very cozy and family friendly. It was crowded on Saturday around 11 am.“
“Super busy deli. Lines for dine in and takeout. I got a pastrami/corned beef on rye and a lemon cream cake with raspberry liquid topping on the side. Everything was fresh. Only wished my sandwich meats were hot or at least warm. Delicious perfect pickle came with the sandwich. Ambiance is casual and a bit chaotic. They need a bigger place!“
“My family has been enjoying Healthy is the Way weekly for over a year and a half. With two working professionals, we were finding that we just did not have enough time to meal plan, grocery shop, cook and clean 7 days a week. There were too many lunches and dinners that we'd order in or throw together something quick and unsatisfying. We use Healthy is the Way to supplement 2-3 dinners and 2-3 lunches every week which ensures us that we will have healthy, home cooked food ready to go and takes the pressure off of us to prepare every meal. It has been a huge game changer for us. Thank you Jill!“
“Literally my favorite restaurant food in the world. We had Indigo at our wedding and it was delicious as always. The folks working there are very nice and always ask how we’re doing when me make an order. Portions are very generous and the flavor is top notch. Whenever I have family or friends visiting it’s at the top of my list for them to try. You won’t be disappointed.Dietary restrictions: I am a very sensitive celiac and have been eating here symptom free for years!“
“I had a great experience here. My card wasn't working and they were gonna give me the sandwich. I'm glad I was able to call my bank and figure it out. But them doing that shows this is a good business and I'll for sure be back again. Them turkey clubs are “
“The BEST manager and staff! They are all so friendly and helpful. Tony and the crew are always on point! We love getting the Pork Pastor Phorrito, Shrimp Pho and Beef Quesadilla. One of the top Mexican restaurants in Glastonbury. Thank you so much we will be back again soon! ?“
“I don't know if it has gone through new ownership or not, but it looks like it used to be named Pho 75. Not a lot of Asian cuisine in the area, but it will satisfy your Viet craving. It looks like only a few staff. Friendly, food is good, nice portions, take out is pretty quick. Overall, good experience, though I would have liked some sauces (sriracha and hoisin) with my takeout order. We were here for two nights and we ate food here twice (eat in once and takeout the other).“
“Traveling for business and I just needed a quick bite. Whole Deli was the perfect stop. Great customer service, reasonable prices, and a yummy sandwich. I like a basic sandwich- so just got ham and Swiss on a grinder. The bread was fresh and freaking delicious! So was the ham and Swiss. Perfect amount and so good! Would definitely recommend.“
“Thank you to Carol and Heather for creating the most beautiful and tasty cake for my cousin's dragon themed baby shower. The shower was at a tea house so Heather topped the cake with an adorable dragon in a teacup which was so fitting for the occasion! The cake flavor itself was a recommendation from Carol: coconut cake with raspberry filling and was very good. My cousin is gluten free which is why I got this cake but majority of the people at the shower were not gluten free and couldn't even tell the difference. In fact, they are still talking about how amazing it was!“
“I get pizza here probably once a week. It's Greek style, very delicious and people are nice here. Their fried chicken dinner is amazing! The zing wings are great, especially with the zing hot sauce (ask for it!). It's a pizza restaurant with great options for entrees, apps and grinders as well. Family owned business. Ambiance is a casual pizza restaurant. They have a private room for private events as well. I had a birthday party for my son there once. It was great. Parking gets a little hectic when they're busy.“
“Best cake ever!! Amazing in design (the photo I provided matched the cake wonderfully) and the taste was as impressive. It’s hard to get both from a custom cake. Our grandchildren Loved it!! We got a Marvel Superhero cake. My husband and I highly recommend!“
“Went to catch lunch during a conference next door at the conference center and was pleasantly surprised. It was a cool little niche with a modern feel. We were sat quickly, efficiently and the staff was very pleasant! The lobster roll with homemade French fries for $18 was delicious. Not only served to look pretty but the taste was excellent. Great value. The fries are a must! The chicken panini was also great!“
“Let’s start with the staff: I was greeted with a smile and the young lady was beyond kind and sweet listened to everything I had to say ( dietary restrictions) she double checked everything!! Awesome: now the food just adds them to the next level, it was made hot fresh and quick! The home fries are to die for!! Highly recommend them!“
“There is a 100% chance of delicious food. Never goes bad always amazing. When you can decide where to eat, pick Bears.Don't bother ordering online. You have no priority. You will stand and wait while they serve every other customer. I could have got in line and ordered my order and paid three times as I waited for them to start making my online order that was placed 45 minutes prior. A very disappointing experience.“
“This place is WONDERFUL. The minute you walk in the door the first thing they ask is if you need a gluten free menu, that's music to a person who struggles with celiac ears! It is absolutely amazing for any restaurant to offer such an extensive variety of gluten free options. It's hard enough finding places who actually have gluten free items on their menu let alone an entire menu. Our waitress Alicia was PHENOMENAL. My mother, best friend and sister and law brought me here as a surprise for my upcoming birthday. As a person with celiac disease who struggles to go out and enjoy myself with family and friends, was VERY impressed with the menu selection and the attention to assure it stays gluten free. I was so overcome with emotion looking at the menu I actually teared up. I sent many compliments to the manager about the waitstaf, the chef and the menu. And thanked him many times for having that safe place for someone with celiac to be able to enjoy themselves. I will repeatedly go to this restaurant as my experience here was so incredible .Dietary restrictions: They have an entire gluten free menu! And every one of the desserts can be made gluten free“
“We were definitely under dressed but stopped here on a whim and it was a good experience. We will definitely be back. My son had a dairy and soy allergy and I don’t eat dairy and they were beyond amazing with allergies. They can really accommodate anyone with an allergy! We will for sure be back. It was also very big portions and reasonably priced. Kids meal is only $8!Dietary restrictions: They are great with any allergy precautions!“
