Reviews for Chestnut Fine Foods & Confections in New Haven, CT

This lunch spot is hands down our favorite to visit in New Haven! It's located right on State Street, and inside is super cozy... and quaint. Their staff are so helpful and welcoming. Ask them about any of the dishes, and you'll get an enthusiasticdescription and a beautiful plate. Everything here is made from scratch including their warm loaves of bread, delicious chickenpot pie, interesting quiches, homemade soups, salads, and gorgeous desserts. Love, love love and will be back for sure next timewe travel to the Shoreline! Read more

Set up like a tea room, the food is excellent, service is great too. Owners are on premises, and it makes a difference! I love... coming here with friends for their soup and sandwuch comb; everything is tasty and fresh and reasonably priced. Read more

Outstanding place. Fresh and delicious food cooked by wonderful people. I went in for some lunch but couldn't resist adding on a... freshly baked loaf of bread and some delightful desserts. I go as often as I can. Read more

Visiting CT and always stop by Chestnut Fine Foods for a little bite. Though I was surprised by the lack of sugary treats in the... display, every else was just as I remembered. I picked up some split pea soup and the best oatmeal wheat bread. Very hearty,nutritious and satisfying. Purchased two loaves of that wonderful bread to take back home with me. Read more

Fabulous breads, confections, premade foods, and fresh flowers! A definite go to in New Haven

The atmosphere is lovely?it feels as if you?re visiting a somewhere familiar, like an old town you used to live or a friend?s... (maybe grandma) home. The food is a letdown compared to the atmosphere. Everything is reheated in the microwave, so food islukewarm and texture is a bit of a mess (eggplant lasagna). Considering the execution of the food, price isn?t justifiable.Tried a variety including Moroccan meatballs, Mac and cheese, crab cakes, and pasta salad?flavor profile is predictable, someare overly salty, and some had bad texture.

Raspberry Linzer Tart with delicious almonds is the best tart in town, ever! As it?s handmade, everyday?s tart can taste a... little different but I?m glad these ladies found a way to bake it to the fullest all the time. Sounds a bit pricey, but worth totry a slicey! I?m waiting for next month until I can afford another FULL PIE! And yes, calorie-wise too. Read more
