If you're in Simsbury for only one day, you have got to have breakfast or lunch at Popover. Yes, it's that good. Also, if what you order doesn't come with a, "popover", be sure to add one to your. Don't worry about the extra carbs, it will be worth it.
I was in Simsbury for fa wedding and after being picked up at the airport, my BFF and mother of the bride took me to Popover for lunch. The weather was super nice, so we ate out on the patio. It was a July wedding, I'm just behind on vacation reviews. We had a light lunch, I enjoyed one of their multiple Avocado Toast selections and the brides mother had a salad. We joked with each other that she had a mother of the bride dress to fit in. Our beverage of choice was the famous lemonade that they serve.
Day of the wedding I had lots of free time to myself. Since Popover was a short walk from my hotel, I took the stroll and enjoyed an amazing breakfast. I may have been in the Northeast, but I had to order the, Southerner. I am a big fan of, Chicken and Waffles and that is exactly what the Southerner was. They serve up a huge waffle with crispy chicken tenders on top. My waffle had a lightly crisp outside with a fluffy inside and the tenders coating was super crisp and the breast meat inside was tender and juicy. My morning beverage was a Honey Lavender Latte. I'm a sucker for honey, so it was a perfect choice.
Both times the staff was super friendly and professional. I give Popover,...
Read morePop Over Eatery is a breakfast/lunch spot and they have two locations, one in Mystic and one in Simsbury. I've read reviews for this place and was excited to try it out. It's located in the Simsburytown Shops; it's a busy parking lot with limited parking, but we were able to snag a spot. The place was busy at lunch on a Monday. We spoke to the hostess and she said about a 10-15 minute wait, which was correct and fine with us. They had high chairs which was a plus. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. I enjoyed the bright and colorful decor.
I started off with a butter latte which you guessed it, had butter in it; it was delicious, I ordered it hot since the waitress said it might not fully melt if it's iced, I appreciated the tip. Their menu was vast and had so many good and unique options to choose from. I decided to try out their French toast BLT; it had an egg, applewood bacon, lettuce, tomato, maple mayo, and cinnamon brioche French toast. This came with a side of syrup but I didn't need it. The sandwich was unique and pretty good; I just wished it came with a side like fries or hash browns. There were a few other menu items I wanted to try out as well. At the end, the receipt was dropped off; I liked that we can pay by scanning the QR code on...
Read moreStopped into Popover Bistro & Bakery in Simsbury and grabbed some take out. Hubby is vegan we chose this restaurant after checking the menus online and seeing all off the choices they offered for him. I went with the veggie hash it was loaded with sweet potatoes, carrots, Brussels, broccoli, zucchini sautéed onions and wonderful roasted tomatoes. All of the veggies were perfectly cooked not a one that was too hard or soft. The seasoning and roasted tomatoes were perfection. I of course had to have a popover. Perfectly crisp outside light and airy inside it conjured up childhood memories of popovers made by a favorite aunt for holiday dinner simply wonderful. The very dangerous bakery case is located right by where you order, I glanced over long enough for the carrot cake to start calling my name. Who am I to resist? Moist and flavorful with just the right amount of frosting well worth every delicious calorie. My husband opted for the Vegan Power bowl, shredded kale, quinoa, toasted chickpeas, roasted broccoli and cauliflower, shredded carrot and falafel with pomegranate dressing. He absolutely loved it. We will definitely be back. He noticed they have a vegan waffle last time he found one of those at a restaurant we were in...
