2014 Ongoing Connecticut Gathering

Hopefully one of these days we can get the group down here to Southbury Starbucks

Happy New Year all!

 

Feeling a bit disappointed. I've been waiting since midnight for Saint Bastage to create a new 2015 Ongoing Connecticut Gathering thread but nothing so far. Just not the same without the founder.

Yea last time I spoke to him he says he would do it. And that was only 2 weeks ago

 

Here's your chance Jay, move it to Southbury Starbucks in 2015 with a nice cruise up 67 into Roxbury and New Milford!

 

I'm game for either Farmington or Windsor Locks. Earlier is better for me.

 

I guess I would need to know what they serve in Farmington. Is it just a bakery and coffee, or can I get eggs, bacon, home fries and toast? If I'm going to ditch work, I need more reward.

Breakfast Pastries

Assorted muffins, croissants. filled croissants (ham/swiss, spinach/feta, chocolate, blueberry, raspberry cheese, blueberry, almond), cinnamon twists, scones (2 kinds each day), palmiers, coffeecakes... our baked goods go into our case by 7am each morning. Sometimes our breakfast pastries sell out. Because we bake them fresh daily, we aim to sell out, in all honesty, to ensure that we are not left with product we will have to throw out. If you would like to place an order in advance, we are happy to take your order. If you call us and want to have us pull something from the case for you to ensure that you can pick it up later that day, we are happy to box it up for you with a purchase of the items over the phone.

 

Ken's Corner in glastonbury is more the ihop type menu but way better. I have been to Ken's. Good portions and food is good. Never been to truffles but have been told it has great food but may be more upscale breakfast then simple flap jacks, bacon and sausage, etc...

 

Pickleworks is the same as Kens, but owned by a friend of mine. I sometimes go there prior to C&C on Sunday's. I enjoy it, and they have maple butter.

 

There's Effies Place in west hartford - 91 Park Rd, West Hartford, CT. Looks like a good hearty menu too.

I'm looking for a real breakfast so I vote for Pickle Works at 8am. I can be there earlier if you wish.

 

I'm not interested in going anywhere near prospect and park.

 

I'm game for PW @ 8.

 

I'm game for PW @ 8 as well. Do most people have off tomorrow or will there be a lot of traffic through Hartford? Trying to gauge how early i have to get up and leave.

 

Wow. Bring up the subject of food and you get three pages of posts in one day! I'm unfortunately otherwise-occupied, but I'll be in Glasto on Sunday in one of my daily drivers, following Phil's scolding

 

Mmmmm food

 

Snouts to the trough!

We want pictures!

 

What time are you guys thinking of meeting?

 

8am

 

Just saw 8. I'll likely show up. I don't ct like you guys but I vote for less traffic area

 

So pw at 8?

 

Yes

 

OK Pickleworks at 8am. Can someone tell Phil. I don't have my phone so I can't contact him.

 

Just saw this post... I'll be there.... It will be tough getting up that early. I'm on retired time!!!
