About Us

Located at 1625 Straits Turnpike, The Local Gourmet Cafe is your NEW, local, fast-casual dining spot for breakfast & lunch.

We are offering the same delicious sandwich & salad menus as our sister store (The Local Gourmet) in Southbury…and so much more! 

Our new cafe features an assortment of new dishes like gourmet toasts, hot oatmeal bowls, signature breakfast sandwiches, smoothies, smoothie bowls, coffee, lemonades, hot & iced teas and much more! 

Open 7am-3pm Monday thru Friday & Saturday 7am-2pm! 

We look forward to seeing you there!
