Bantam Bread Company doesn’t serve coffee and tea, but its breads are fabulous, as are the other homemade treats, and the dirt bombs (shown here) are legendary.

Love Heart’s Bakery and Cafe on the edge of Bantam toward Litchfield Center just brought back its homemade English muffins. It’s a favorite spot for donuts, muffins, coffee cake, cakes, bagels, croissants … (there’s also lunch).

While it’s not a coffee shop, don’t miss The Dutch Epicure Shop (between Bantam and Litchfield Center), which offers homemade breads, croissants, tarts, chocolates, and so much more.

The new Espresso59 in the former Murphy’s Pharmacy on the Green is like a classic Italian pastry and coffee shop imported from the North End of Boston. Think espresso drinks and desserts like cannoli, bombolini, and gelato … (also heartier fare).

The Bakehouse in the Old Litchfield Jail is a scratch bakery offering croissants, chocolate croissants, cakes, pies cookies, homemade breads, muffins, scones, cookies, and much more—as well as locally-roasted coffee, expresso, latte, specialty teas, etc.

At The Corner in Litchfield Center is known a restaurant and craft beer haven dishing up inventive and flavorful fare, but the sunny front section along West Street is also a morning café, serving coffee, espresso drinks, teas, and baked goods.

Toast & Co. (down the hill from the Green) is a very popular breakfast and lunch café with coffee, espresso drinks, teas, pastries and lots more, like smoothies, milkshakes …

Meraki, tucked in next to The Litchfield Candy Company, is a breakfast and lunch hotspot with coffee, teas, baked goods and everything else required in a good pitstop.

And that’s just a sampling! We also have delis like The Ripe Tomato and Litchfield Catering and Deli that satisfy pitstop demands, and diner-style restaurants like Patty’s Restaurant and Jackie’s Restaurant that fill the bill, too …. and we have a Dunkin’.
