Coffee & Treats in North Stamford

Tea is served from 2:30 p.m.–4:30 p.m. daily.

In the 19th century, neighbors would congregate in local bakeries, butcher shops, and candlemakeries to chat about the weekend's brutal turf war and swap Jughead hats. Today's deal gives you a taste of that simpler time: for $7, you get $15 worth of fine, fresh-baked fare at Grandaisy Bakery.

Soy Café tosses a lifesaver of veggie-friendly fare to diners drowning in the community pool of carnivore-catering cuisine. Breakfast is served all day, allowing you to satisfy your craving for organic oatmeal ($6), egg whites with avocado and soy cream cheese ($6), or a mozzarella, basil, and roasted-pepper omelette ($10), even as the afternoon sun looks on in helio-disbelief between puffs of his cumulo-cigarette. Sail seas of soup with the vegan-friendly three-lentil chili ($6), served with multigrain toast, or deforest the summer avocado salad ($11) with your mouth-mulcher. Soy Café also offers cold sandwiches ($8) with tofu and hummus, as well as salmon, turkey, tuna, and chicken variations for non-vegetarians. Paninis and wheat-free crêpes ($10) also offer omnivorous options for all ilks of eaters. Silence the cries of your sweet tooth with Soy Café's vegan sweets, including its acclaimed almond brittle ($4.50).

SweetLeaf serves fair-trade-certified specialty coffee and whole-leaf tea, filling cups, mugs, hearts, and minds with flavors and aromas of pure, delicious sustainability. A cup of Stumptown ($2), which won Roaster of the Year from Roast magazine, can mean the difference between hitting the ground running and creeping back into bed to hit the snooze button relentlessly. Give your alarm clock time to let its bruises heal by slurping a macchiato ($3) or a foamily refreshing cappuccino ($3.50). Decadence-seeking mocha lovers get their fix from a chocolate-laced cup for $4. SweetLeaf's in-house baked muffins ($2.50), cookies ($2.50), and savory croissants ($3.75) delight any coffee and tea-tinted tongue; look for a selection of freshly baked treats (priced daily) that change depending on the day, humidity, or how well you can affect a Prussian accent.

A cup of joe in the morning can mean the difference between hitting the ground running and hitting the snooze button relentlessly. Give your alarm clock time to let its bruises heal with an Americano (a $2.25+ value) or an extra perky mocha (a $3.50+ value). Chill out by pouring an iced cappuccino (a $3.50+ value) or a so-cool iced latte (a $3.50+ value) over your steaming dome. After a month of regular Café Regular visits, you'll come to call its arty décor—murals, chandeliers, reflective bronze metalwork—your third home away from home, right after the Statue of Liberty's shin.
