Aux Délices Foods - Darien

As someone who is currently 13 weeks pregnant and battling hyperemesis gravidarum, I've struggled to keep much food down. However, today I decided to order a sandwich from your restaurant, and it was absolutely incredible! It was not only fresh but also incredibly delicious. I felt such joy being able to eat it without any issues. I also appreciated how kind and sweet the employees were when I walked in. Keep up the fantastic customer service—you're truly the best!

The roasted mushroom melt was absolutely delicious—definitely the best warm sandwich I've had in a while. It featured creamy young mushrooms, arugula, and perfectly crusty bread. I’m an instant fan!

I ordered an eclair and paid $5 for it. They tried to put it in a large plastic takeout container, and I told them, "Haven't you heard that single-use plastic is harmful to the environment?" So I asked them to just hand it to me instead. Unfortunately, the eclair was stale.

The food here is fantastic, and the service is excellent, even when the restaurant is busy and the patrons can be a bit particular. The Shaker salads are wonderful, as are the veggie burgers, spaghetti squash, and all the mini sandwiches. The soups are also great. I really enjoy the ginger scones, but unfortunately, I have to skip them now to eat healthier. The corn and black bean salad is delicious. I do wish they would bring back the freshly made broccoli from before the pandemic and offer more cooked vegetable options.

I didn't have the crab cakes, but the chocolate mousse cups were five stars! However, the salads were a bit off, particularly the Caesar dressing.
