I recently visited the Breakfast Connection in Branford, CT, and overall, it was a decent experience with a few notable areas for improvement.
The food itself was quite good. I ordered the classic eggs benedict, which was delicious, and my friend had the pancakes, which were fluffy and flavorful. The menu offers a nice variety of breakfast options, and the portion sizes are generous, providing good value for the price.
However, the service left something to be desired. While the staff were friendly, our coffee cups were not refilled during our visit, which was a bit disappointing. Additionally, when it came time to settle the bill, the handwritten check was difficult to read and follow, making the payment process more cumbersome than it should have been.
The ambiance of the restaurant is cozy and welcoming, which makes for a pleasant dining atmosphere. Despite the service hiccups, the quality of the food and the inviting environment made our breakfast enjoyable.
In conclusion, the Breakfast Connection has the potential to be a great breakfast spot with a few service improvements. If the staff were more attentive to refilling drinks and the billing process were streamlined, it would significantly enhance the overall dining experience. I would still recommend it for the good food and comfortable setting, but with the hope that these service issues will be addressed...

At breakfast, there are locals sitting around, solving the problems of the world, chatting and happy to include you if you want to become one of the crew. The only reason I give this place four stars is because it needs a good deep cleaning, especially the restrooms. I know it is a classic place from a time gone by, but it needs...
Read moreFood was good but the draw here is the atmosphere. If you want to watch three god damn warrior women run the whole front of the house while exchanging banter with every elderly person in Branford this is the place to be. It feels like something out of a movie and I completely understand why the place was full up from the moment I got there to the moment I left.
Real talk though: if you have zero appreciation for people working in the service industry don’t bother coming, you’ll be too pissed that your food takes a little while longer than most places to come to the table that you won’t notice just how charming the whole...
