Catch A Healthy Habit Cafe — Restaurant in Fairfield

It's rare to find a place where the ENTIRE menu can cater to someone who is on a dairy-free, soy-free and gluten-free diet. Catch a Healthy Habit is just that. Service was great and the staff was knowledgeable about the ingredients used and was able to answer all questions we had. My friend and I have been here several times and have tried a good portion of the menu.

One unique dish was spring rolls that were made with a wrapper made from coconut. You can taste the coconut in the wrapper which went along well with the tangy dipping sauce and the filling of kelp noodles, carrots, romaine lettuce and avocados. It was served cold, more like a Vietnamese summer roll than a hot, fried spring roll seen at other places. It was crisp, refreshing and slightly creamy from the avocado. It was a bit messy to eat, but still manageable.

The minty chip smoothie was interesting since the banana was blended with peppermint and cacao nibs. It was good since the mint and chocolate flavors dominated the smoothie with only a hint of banana. Majority of the shake was blended well. I only came across a small chunk of unblended banana.

The curry quinoa bowl is one of my go to items here. The curry is at the perfect strength and the quinoa and veggies does a good job of picking it up. The fresh pea shoots bring a refreshing quality to the dish.

We always end the meal with chia seed pudding. It’s a nice light dessert that only has a hint of sweetness with a wisp of coconut and a distinctive texture. We order at the start of our meal and it is ready by time...

My love and I recently had two wonderful experiences, at Catch a Healthy Habit! We were visiting Fairfield, CT from NYC, and stumbled on a new and true jewel. 💎 We found the environment to be both welcoming and relaxing — the first day, due to good, sunny weather, we even got to sit outside. Also, the first day we met and were served by Lisa — who was so lovely; her warm smile and gentle hospitality quickly put us at ease. The next day we were served by a nice young man, but I didn’t get his name.

Alright — the food! Let’s talk food. : ) The first day, I ordered ”the bagel” (everything is vegan on their menu), made with cashew cream cheese…and it was heaven on a plate! It was quite filling, too. I also ordered the Peruvian Passion smoothie, which was incredible. I wanted two of them, but didn’t have any more room in my belly for another one. LOL So, the second day I ordered the bagel all over again, which was totally worth it, and opted for a warm matcha latte (with spirulina), drink instead. It was also incredible - and if you’re a matcha fan, like I am - then I’d highly recommend it. Also, on a somewhat random note, I loved the clean products that they chose for their bathroom and really enjoyed washing my hands in it. : ) If you’re ever in Fairfield, def go check this place out! Whether you’re vegan or not, it’s certainly worth a visit - or two! : ) PS I also got the tumeric fudge (brownie?), to go - the second time around, which was...

I am so grateful to you for being here. I was having one of those days that was spiraling the direction I didn't want to go. I walked in and instantly felt at ease. This place is unassuming and comfortable. I wandered around the cafe ogling some random health items on display without label, explanation or price tag. It seems a little consumer convenience has been traded for more of an at-home feel, which I def. dig. I loved the relaxed attire of the humans behind the counters. It had the vibe of stopping in at a friend's cafe counter in a place such as Costa Rica, unsubscribed from corporate norms, offline!

I asked if I could read a book sitting on a shelf which had obviously been read. (I wouldn't even ask if the soft cover hadn't have been arced from some use.) I was already in a better place just being here. Feeding my brain with the absolutely amazing material in that book sent me over the edge into mental and emotional bliss. My goal is to make my home have this vibe and come here regularly for a treat. Thank you for radically changing...
