Goodie Shoppe — Restaurant in New Fairfield

If I could give this place a negative star rating I would. I have no idea how the food is because after witnessing how the owner treated his staff and how he spoke to me....I left without purchasing anything. I also found the inside dark, dinghy, uninviting and because of the owner....intimidating. Don't dare ask for anything made for people with special dietary needs....you'll get a lecture from the owner and I quote, "they won't know the difference", (they will when they go into anaphylactic shock) and "if you don't like the accommodations, find another hotel". I understand and accept if he does not want to include special dietary need items on his menu....his business, his right to decide but he doesn't have to be a complete jerk about it. I was there to purchase for a number of people, 20! to be exact, ONLY 2 of which had restrictions on what they can safely eat....because of his unprofessional and extremely immature behavior....he lost an incredibly large sale and earned this bad review but my feeling is....he doesn't care. BTW... I'm a brand new visitor to town, I thought it would be nice to have our retreat in what appeared to be a pretty, quaint and above all - friendly town - I won't be making that mistake again - so if New Fairfield has a chamber of commerce you may want to suggest some customer relations classes to your business owners -...

The seeded rye bread is a staple for me. It is sooo good, and everyone that I have spoken to that has had it resoundingly agrees!

The bagels are unquestionably a cut WAY above the rest available in the area (and I speak from experience as I've tried them all...). My personal favorite are the poppy seed, and if you were to compare them to others you could honestly say "That's not a poppy seed bagel, THIS is a poppy seed bagel!" ;o) To my taste they're so good that I won't even consider getting one from anywhere else...

I'm not much of a sweets eater, so I cannot comment on that...

By far the best pizza in the area too! (Supplies limited, so come at noon if you want to get a slice...;o)

The owner/baker is a refreshingly down to earth guy, as are the staff and regular customers too, which is unfortunately increasing rare these days, so that makes for a very nice...

ok..my cardiologist isn't happy with me consuming marks product , but he doesn't know!! my taste buds are sooooooo very happy...consistently an amazing baked good or specialty item...and you must talk w/ mark....he is the force behind the spectacular products...coffees, pizza, bagels, pastries, cookies and the most amazing breads!! he knows his way around a bakery...!!...

i think i may just have to run over there this weekend!!..keep up the incredible work and i will...
