@ the Corner

(Litchfield Green)
59 West St. | 860-567-8882

Most people know @thecorner as an American Restaurant dishing up inventive and flavorful fare, with a terrific craft beer list—all of it served in a historic setting at the corner of West and South streets. The sunny front section along West Street is also a morning café, serving coffee, espresso drinks, teas, and baked goods. It’s a bit of an insider’s secret, as the only mention on the website or social media is the hint in the hours section saying the café is open 7 a.m. to noon, Tuesday through Sunday.

Espresso 59

(Litchfield Green)
59 West St. | 860-361-6038

Located in the former Murphy’s Pharmacy on West Street, Espresso 59 is like a classic Italian pastry and coffee shop from the North End of Boston transported to the Litchfield, even down to hours that have it open deep into the evening to satisfy those looking for post-dinner sweets to accompany coffee or an espresso drink, including essentials like cannoli, bombolini, and gelato. There’s also heartier fare.

The Bakehouse

(Litchfield Green)
7 North St. | 860-361-6423

The Bakehouse is a scratch bakery that hits all the right notes—think croissants, chocolate croissants, cakes, pies, cookies, a line of homemade breads, muffins, and more—as well as locally-roasted coffee, espresso, lattes, specialty teas, etc.

Most fans of The Bakehouse stop, shop, and go, while some loyalists prefer to linger at a table inside, or one of the two café tables on the stone patio outside.
