This super cute market and cafe is incredible!! The vibe is cute and cozy, with plenty of comfy outdoor seating. I truly love my chai latte with almond milk! John, my barista, has such a kind soul and knows how to make an AMAZING chai latte! Truly top tier! Will be a regular spot for me from now on!

Pretty great sandwiches. Yes, the price is a little steep but at the same time, so is real estate in Old Lyme. It's hard for businesses to serve the community and still do well with a physical location. We have to start cutting small business owners some slack on rent if we want cheaper prices on the food. Maybe throw in a bag of chips for lunch items (or a cookie), and I think the price would settle a bit with people. The lack of a restroom is real. Hit up Big Y if you really gotta go. Overall, though, the food is made fresh and is exactly what you want out of a sandwich from a place like this. Had a great first experience. Outdoor seating is nice.

This is thee cutest cafe they have their own little chicken coop too! The outside seating area is so cute with lots of flowers. On site parking is available. I stop here for the breakfast sandwich and I can confirm it’s 10/10. The pricing isn’t bad either. The bun is so soft and airy so it doesn’t feel as heavy as a bagel. Everything is made to order & they use super fresh ingredients! Truly of my favorite breakfast sandwiches in Connecticut! The cafe also offers items to go such as salads, cheeses, gelato, honey & so much more!
