This restaurant is a real gem! I've tried many pancakes in the area, and I can confidently say these get my full approval. They have a deliciously cake-like texture and are less eggy than others. However, I did find the home fries to be a bit overly seasoned for my taste. It's important to remember that the waitstaff has special needs and may not pick up on cues like typical waitstaff. For instance, I had to go in and request a to-go box and the check, and there was a mix-up with another customer's order. Despite this, the understanding of the patrons contributed to a wonderfully friendly atmosphere, and I even had the chance to chat with others while waiting for my meal. If the weather is n...
First experience: when you walk in it's just a simple cafe. Nothing grand. However, the view of the water is nice with the exception of the construction going on across the way. You find out real quick how special and rare this place is once you sit down. Puffins does vocational teaching, where they teach the young and old alike that are special needs. They give them confidence and teach money/people skills. Our server was a kind young man who made sure we had everything we needed. The food! My son had the pancakes, my husband had the French toast with eggs and sausage, I had their BLT with fries. Yes all simple meals. However, it was delicious. I highly suggest you stop in and give them a t...
I found this restaurant on Google Maps. I only gave it four stars for the same reason it deserves 10. It?s mostly staffed by people who are challenged I hope you get my drift I can?t think of the proper word. The wait person was good but a little ?rigid?, IOW he didn?t know ?Healthy Options? (versus hash browns) but he was fast and efficient. My omelette was good. There were three tables outside on the deck, on the Thames River in Groton. Most of all,!I liked helping people who needed it AND supporting their institution. GO!!!!
Absolutely fantastic! Our server, Steven, made our experience unforgettable. I discovered this gem while walking back from our motel, where I enjoyed a delightful breakfast. I returned for lunch with my partner, knowing he would love it just as much. The food is simple yet exceptional! The staff is friendly and genuinely happy to assist. The atmosphere truly warmed our hearts. If you're considering giving anything less than 5 stars, please look elsewhere—this place is amazing!

I absolutely loved this restaurant! The service was fantastic, and the food was outstanding. I really wish I had discovered this place earlier during my stay in Connecticut. I’ll definitely make it a point to return if I'm ever in the area again. The concept is great, and if you're nearby, you should definitely stop by to enjoy the beautiful view and delicious food. The servers were incredibly sweet as well!
Even though the were special needs working there, they were not taught matters. I work with special needs an we teach them life skills, they didn't use matters and they threw the menu at us. Plus our pancakes were dry and crusty, my eggs were soaked inbutter. Sorry. But the view of the water was the best.
LOVED this place! Loved our service and the food was stellar. Wish we had found this place earlier in our visit to CT. Will remember to go here if I am ever back in town. Love the concept and if you are near here you must stop by and enjoy the view andwonderful food. Sweet servers too!

They serve an excellent breakfast here. The raisin bread is delightful and tastes just like it was made at home.
Absolutely delicious! The omelette was light and packed with flavor. The portion sizes were just right.
