I have only been there once, but I got EXACTLY what I was looking for. I wanted a comforting snack and a hot cuppa joe; I discovered a genuine black and white cookie (which was cake-ey without losing its cookie-ness, and the frosting was bold in flavor) and a damn fine cuppa coffee. The place was really mobbed (there was a book-signing event next store at the Hickory Stick Book Shop - it's a great indy bookstore) and some customers were cranky and had some aggressive elbows, but I was able to get my joe and go pronto. Damn fine coffee and genuine black and white cookie - - - nirvana
I hope to return again (I love going to the Hickory Stick) and another one or two good visits might boost this review to five stars.
Great coffee and pastries. Sandwiches are available for limited hours during the day.
Good coffee and friendly locally owned place. Minus one star for a somewhat unhelpful employee but overall a pleasant experience and will return next time I am in Washington Connecticut.
Good coffee and friendly atmosphere
The purpose of our visit was to have a coffee in the town which was an inspiration for Stars Hollow, a hometown of Gilmore Girls. One of the locals kindly and wisely suggested us to visit Marty’s Café. The place was nice, staff was friendly and coffee was good. Everything we needed, we got it. Washington Depot is not a touristic center of the USA, let’s be honest, but its peace was quite refreshing after days spent in Manhattan.
Great pastry and coffee! Grab a cup and head over to the bookstore next door:-)
A stylish gem, café-done-right, relaxed atmosphere with rotating art exhibits. Great coffee, tea, pastries, plus light breakfast and lunch offerings. Worth a stop, you won't be disappointed!
Charming cafe with good food and tea. Definitely stop by if you're in the area.
Great food and service. Must curtail the cheesy samba beat Eurotrash "music". Yikes.
Small town, quaint new england coffee shop. Great coffee and food
Cozy cafe in a scenic town. Enjoyed a coffee while chatting with some of the friendly locals.
Very good. Prices are typical of the area which is kind of expensive but the food is definitely worth it. Great selection of tea and coffee as well.
