Passing through town, and found this place with a little searching of well-rated locations. We were not at all disappointed, once we realized the "REGIS GROCER" was, in fact, the cafe.
FOOD: We came in about 20 minutes between afternoon close, though there were still other groups dining and chatting. Didn't affect the servings at all -- a great half-sandwich, eggs and hash browns, a smothered burrito, and a breakfast burrito. I had the latter -- ordered with chili Verde which was put inside -- and it was quite tasty, if a bit more black bean forward than I was expecting. Iced tea was quite good, too.
Overall, ingredients were fresh and healthy.
SERVICE: Despite the time, the service was friendly, helpful, and even above and beyond (as we showed an interest in some of the history of the building on display, one worker brought out a basket of old bills and documents and so forth -- fun!).
AMBIANCE: Cute, nostalgic, cozy, without being cloying. Clean and pleasantly appointed.

And if this place isn’t an instant favorite and you tip well, and are polite and respectful, well, ya better go back to Connecticut or...
Read moreBest breakfast EVER. This will be our new GO TO when in town. As soon as we arrived the wonderful staff welcomed us and admired our dogs and gave them treats. We sat inside and were invited to sit on the lovely patio with our dogs - this is a must, dog or not.
The outdoor sitting area is LOVELY, it's backs up to the garden, there's grass and shade to sit. Our giant bear dogs were just as comfortable as we were.
The menu choices were plentiful, I have dietary restrictions that make breakfast hard. No gluten, I also don't tolerate egg too well on its own. There were several options. Both delicious, gluten free French toast and heaping bowl were delicious. The food was served with a fresh flower garnish, nice touch.
I could go on and on. Thanks so much for having us! Martha, our server, treated us just...
