"I ordered a Boston cream and glazed donut. I never received the Boston cream but a donut with apple. This isn't what I asked for and I do know what a Boston cream donut is because I've had it plenty of times. You don't replace someone's food without their permission because you don't know what that person is allergic to. The bread on my sandwich was also burnt and hard. I'm so disappointed because my previous order was great."

"Ordered two different banana puddings (one wafer one hazelnut) and a cookie. They were out of the hazelnut pudding, so they gave us a whole 3 extra desserts on top of a second wafer pudding. This was the best substitution I've ever gotten from a store, and the desserts were fantastic. Would definitely order again."

Everything had great flavor and tasted fresh. The one thing I'd complain about in terms of this order is the expense... It cost me about $50 for two sandwiches and two smoothies. I think that's kind of outrageous in my opinion. Still, I think it's worth it for the quality of the sandwiches you'll get! I would definitely order again."
"Panera always hits! The kids love the chips with the Smokehouse BBQ Chicken sandwich. I love how they always follow the customizations and remove the onions for them! The Sandwich and Salad combo is a bargain. My picky eaters love Panera!"

"Wave Hill Breads is a true hidden gem. Their pizza is outstanding, the Hot Tin Roof loaf is unforgettable, their croissants are perfection, and their breakfast sandwiches are hands‑down the best around. Their custom birthday cakes — crafted by real pastry chefs — never disappoint. From the moment you walk in, the customer service is warm, attentive, and focused on every detail, and every delivery arrives just as thoughtfully. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re missing out on one of the best bakeries in the area."
"Everything I've had from here is exceptional. I love the deals on this app as well as Too Good to Go for Wave Hill. The staff are lovely when I go in. They package the food well for travel so it arrives hot, cold, whatever temp it needs to be. The food is always fresh and well-portioned. Thank you for having a place to love in Norwalk."

"The Fall Oat Boy latte is the perfect combination of fall flavors. I ordered it half sweet with an extra shot of espresso and it's perfect for my tastes (love how easy Gregory's makes it to customize their drinks!). The Ham & Cheese Croissant was small (about 6" x 2") but I don't mind that portion size. It tasted fresh and has a decent amount of ham inside. The Realsy Almond Butter Dates are a great healthy treat alongside a hot coffee! Will keep Gregory's in the coffee delivery rotation for sure. 🥐💗🍁"
"I ordered two days in a row. First day the avocado toast was brown and had almost zero avocado- just a little spread- and my geeen drink wasn't in the order. The second day the breakfast sandwich didn't have egg, only a half a piece of cheese and one little broken slice of bacon on a stale roll. The latte didn't have a straw and spilled everywhere. The egg bites are good and the coffee is ok. "
