Sugar Olives - Norwalk

I had a wonderful experience at a small bakery on the Norwalk/Westport border that serves delicious bagels. They only offer fresh bagel pickup on Thursday mornings and Saturday afternoons, but I tried their frozen bagels which tasted just as fresh. The smoked salt bagel was a favorite in my household, but the everything and sesame bagels were also excellent. The pimento scallion spread was a standout for me, and I appreciated the unique variety of cream cheeses available. I'm thrilled to have discovered this hidden gem - this place is truly authentic!

This place is very chill and laid back. The owner is pretty cool. The chef Noë was awesome! I decided to go with the English breakfast . This dish consisted of short rib, 2 sheered egg whites , squash risotto, and sweet chili sauce. So good! I love decor here! Everything about this place says simple and oragsnic and I love it.

The coffee at this restaurant is fantastic! When we arrived, it seemed like they were just opening for the day, so the chef was handling everything on his own - from seating and setting the tables to serving and cooking. He managed it all with ease, which was really impressive. We ordered the Lamburger, which was incredibly juicy and tasty, as well as the English Breakfast - Kale Risotto topped with two eggs, sweet chili sauce, and sliced Chorizo. The English breakfast was decent, although it was better the first time I visited, so I won't hold that against them too much. Overall, it was a great meal and experience.

This restaurant is a super cute brunch spot to bring your friends. Despite hearing about the need for reservations, we found it not too crowded when we visited for Sunday brunch. Be sure to order a large pot of coffee. I tried the skillet pancake and found it a bit too dense for my liking. I only had it with maple syrup, so I think adding the lemon curd would have added some much-needed moisture. My friend ordered the chocolate bread french toast and I was jealous that he made the better choice. It was so soft and moist. The English breakfast was well done, with the risotto and sunny side up egg adding extra creaminess to the dish. I also tried the lamb burger, which was served on a sturdy English muffin bun. It was cooked perfectly to order (medium rare) and very juicy. Overall, the service and food were great, but it is a bit pricey. But hey, it's Connecticut. I noticed a sign advertising their cooking classes, which seems like a cool opportunity. The restaurant also has plenty of space for celebrating special occasions - we saw a group celebrating someone's 15th or 51st birthday while we were there.

Came here for brunch with friends recently. This is very much hidden off Route 1 in a pretty cool, industrial space. The service was friendly and atmosphere is great. Nice music selection. Very good coffee. The food was pretty lackluster though. The omelette was a bit overwhelming with the fillings, too much sweet with the goat cheese. And for the price, absolutely no sides or even garnishes. It was ok, but not very filling on its own. The chocolate bread dish was kind of bland and dry. Would possibly try again to see if it was a fluke, but there's so much good brunch competition that it's a tough sell.
