Coffee Shoppe

This diner was a new find looking for somewhere to eat after the Naugatuck annual Duck Day festival where little plastic ducks are dropped into the river from the bridge above on Maple St. They each have numbers on them so people can purchase ducks and hope their duck is one of twenty to cross the finish line first for a prize.

The Coffee Shoppe opens at 4AM seven days a week, which is something amazing in itself. Great for early birds. Serving breakfast and lunch they close at one o'clock M-F and Noon on weekends.

Because it was Duck Day, they stayed open to serve all the patrons looking for a place to have a sit down meal. Already afternoon, we passed on breakfast and had lunch - a rare cheeseburger (their burgers are made by hand with fresh beef) and my partner had one of their specials of the day that was on the signboard outside: Grilled sausage and peppers with cheese on a Kaiser roll. Sandwiches do not come with fries. Sides are extra.

Our waitress suggested we try the Chef's chili since he made a batch for today and told us customers love it. It was okay. One bowl had cool spots in it, the other was warmed through. This is a good chili for the top of a hot dog. The cook and waitstaff were very friendly. There are booths and counter stools for patrons. Because of the volume this Sunday they were out of water, ice tea and some other beverages but we were fine with some cranberry juice. They also offer the popular local Ami brand bagels.

Didn't realize the time, Closing time..and yet they allowed me to eat and get my coffie....Without question....Great Place!!

Great food and great service all with a reasonable price.

Great service and great vibes. Highly recommend.
