August 2024 - Love Kent, it's just not a place I get to much, but many people do, mostly out of staters primarily from New York. If you're in town, definitely stop by Wilson's for a sandwich. They're big and bold. The place was packed which gave a wait time of ten minutes for a BLT with tomato (see original review below). Serious bread. Kind of like "Dave's Killer Bread" if familiar with that brand. Heavy on seeds, though, if you are someone who can't eat them. Packed with bacon, crisp lettuce and in season fresh tomatoes. Comes with a North Fork Long Island bag of potato chips, which was great to learn there are still potato farms there, plus a dill pickle.
Visiting Kent's sidewalk sale event in August 2022, I was advised by a local to go to Wilson's for lunch. Seeing a colleague enjoying her BLT without the tomato, I decided to give it a shot. Unfortunately, upon arrival incoming customers were told that the chef had closed the kitchen due to staff shortage so only what was still in the pastry cases was available. This turned people away who were coming in for a meal like myself, but I did grab a cheese danish to bring home. It had a light flakey dough. Wilson's serves breakfast all day, fresh juices, sandwiches and salads. (See menu in my photos) Also for sale are fresh flowers and merchandise. Nice ambiance. There is an indoor fireplace, outdoor seasonal seating and a...
   Read moreI live in town and went to Wilson's grand opening yesterday. I ordered Donette's Crispy Eggplant Salad, 2 of Jerry's Cookies and an iced oat milk latte. A sign said that they also have Cashew milk for coffee drinks and I'll try that next time! I ordered it all to go and was planning to leave but my latte was handed to me before I left the counter (honestly it was so quick I thought they were kidding!) so I sat down in a stuffed leather chair in front of a fireplace (can't wait for winter) to enjoy it while I waited for the salad. It was a very comfortable chair and while the place was hopping there was still plenty of room so I didn't feel crowded. There is seating outside both front and back as well as inside. I spent a nice half hour just relaxing with my coffee and people watching, a fun thing on a busy weekend in Kent. I brought the salad and cookies home. The salad was big enough that I expected to have leftovers but nope! My husband and I both loved it. Very fresh greens, lightly dressed with thin strips of crispy eggplant (as the name promised) and creamy cheese. It was a beautifully presented and balanced salad, not easy to do. We hoovered it up. The cookies were delicious, with white chocolate chips and drizzle on top. A sweet ending to a lovely dinner. They're open Thursday through Sunday. I may have to go back for...
