My sister and I decided a while back to meet up once a month at a different coffee shop in Connecticut in order to catch up and see the state. This blog series serves as a review of the coffee shops we visit.
March, 2016 - My sister and I actually have one more sister who lives in Wallingford. We all met at her place and chatted for awhile before the two of us headed out to chat at our March coffee stops.
We actually decided to go to two places this month - Half Moon Coffee and Grille Cafe and Mr. D's Bakery. These two places are practically next door to each other. First we had dinner at Half Moon, and then went to Mr. D's for cupcakes and coffee.
We weren't really impressed with Half Moon, though it wasn't bad. The clear winner was Mr. D's Bakery. To be fair, it's not really a competition. Mr. D's offers cupcakes, ice cream, toys, and candy, which are much more exciting than coffee. As we walked into Mr. D's, my sister said something to the effect of wanting to move in and never leave!
One of the first items that draws your eye as you walk into the store is a carousel horse.
Oh, the cupcakes! I don't know how anyone could have just one. My sister and I each ate one there and brought a box of six home for later (and to share).
We each had another medium coffee while we ate our carefully chosen cupcakes. A few unoccupied tables were tucked out of the way in a corner near the front window, where we were able to enjoy our treats and take a more careful look at our surroundings.
Below are some photos of the rest of the store.
