West Egg Cafe in Connecticut

"Just as plain as I can say it, this place is fantastic. Clearly the team in the kitchen (and if you watch them cooking, there is a team in there) knows exactly what they are doing. The menu is extremely well thought out and the decor and facilities are very low stress for grown ups. Ok, so why so good? - I ordered a chicken sandwich. Something simple and fast. It's almost always junk from everywhere else. NOT AT WEST EGG. It had a very fresh and excellent bun. Very high quality chicken cutlets cooked perfected (grilled). With a very fresh tomato (I usually don't like tomato's on chicken sandwiches but I did on this one) and lettuce. Outstanding mayonnaise (yes, this does also make a difference). Net outcome - one of the best chicken sandwiches I've had in 60 years, period. Especially great because it was not a fast food sandwich as well. - The staff at the front desk were kind and helpful. Even with a full restaurant, their patience with me made a huge difference (and yes, I bought more stuff). - I tried a few of the deserts (I brought them home). Excellent quality. - Decor and general "vibe" - again, this seemed like a "farm to table" type of place however I did really like how it felt like it was designed by grown ups for grown ups. Not unfriendly for kids (they have coloring kits prominently right up front) but really cut for adults (the restaurant). The motif is very much classic "farm American" and is a place most people will feel very comfortable in. I really liked that there wasn't loud music blaring and that grown ups were having conversations throughout the restaurant without being bludgeoned by licensed music or Spotify. I will be back to try more stuff. Just all of the options for Hollandaise and different kinds of Corned Beef hash breakfasts looks fantastic. Bottom line, if you can go, go. It may take a few minutes to drive to West Egg from 84 but you will be rewarded with a fantastic and unique restaurant way above and beyond your normal breakfast or lunch place."

"Delicious food, great service and efficient! I haven't been able to resist getting anything other than the hot honey fried chicken sandwich (minus the hot for me!) as it is the best Fried Chicken Sandwich I've ever had! Getting something from the baked good section is always a good idea, I go for the pumpkin muffin with a side of their whipped butter, sooooo good!"

"What a charming and delicious little place!! We found it after going to the Woodbury flea market next door. The aesthetics and decor are incredible and the food was great as well. We got the We-bec and a scrambled egg breakfast both were really nice and decently priced as well. Highly recommend. My only critique as a coffee snob would for them to get a better coffee roaster. I’m not sure who they use but upgrading to a specialty or craft coffee roaster would put them at next level status. Overall this place is great and highly recommended"

"Great and delicious food. Cute spot and cute vibe! Yummy coffee."

"The food is absolutely delicious. I love the farmhouse aesthetic. Come on an empty stomach as their food is filling. I usually buy one of the bendicts but today I tried breakfast tacos. So tasty. The scones taste sooo good. Staff is lovely. Place is super clean and tidy. My favorite place to go!"

"First time visiting. Driving home to Mass after being in NYC for the weekend. What a great Google maps find. First off, it is cafe style ordering. Order at the counter, and food is delivered to your table. Service was pleasant and attentive. Food was fast, hot, tasty and portion was perfect."

"Great breakfast place with an inventive coffee menu and playful variations on all of my breakfast favorites. Service was prompt and attentive without feeling pushy. Atmosphere is rustic, relaxed and warm. Best of all everything was fresh fresh fresh — I didn’t ask but suspect the bread popped out of the oven minutes before it arrived on my plate."

"This place is really cute and the staff is very nice! You order the food first and then find your seats. Went on a Friday morning and had no problem getting a spot. The food was pretty yummy, maybe a little pricy for the amount but made up for it for the taste. I also ordered the blueberry lemon scone and I wish I had three more of them. They warmed it up with some butter and wow best thing I’ve tasted. Would go back"
