you know those clothing stores where you walk in and immediately feel like an imposter because you’re never going to actually pull off a seven-foot-long wrap dress that costs twice your monthly salary, but you have to stay inside and browse anyway because it would wound your pride to walk out? that’s atticus, for food. or at least it was the first time i walked in, when the sticker shock on sundry items hit me like a gale force wind to the face. but after i got over $8 bread or $24 for a bag of coffee from local (westport ct) ilse roasters (something i……didn’t learn until checkout at which point i was too embarrassed to put it back), i realized that there is so much to love about this light-filled, unaffordable, souped-up yuppie bodega where every employee seems significantly cooler than you will ever be. specifically, that expensive bread? very good! breakfast items are a) very filling and b) actually reasonably priced. i recommend the frittata sandwich with kale; the brioche is buttery and falls apart in your mouth delightfully. and the PASTRIES! i’m not a godfearing woman, but one bite into the pictured item, blood orange on top of diplomat crème (what’s diplomat crème? who sends crème to foreign service school and the state department? who knows?) had me seeing heaven. take all my money atticus!!!!tldr: $$$$$$$ but gr8 breakfast and pastries
Super rad market with lots of cool things to shop. Lots of local goods as well are plentiful.
The pastries are the best I’ve ever had! The bread is also phenomenal. My only complaint is that they are also quite expensive ($5 for a danish, $8-9 for a loaf of bread). And on the weekends, they sometimes sell out of pastries by early afternoon, so the best time to get your pastry fix is in the morning!
Excellent coffee, pastries, and breakfast sandwiches! They also sell great bread and it’s a cool market to shop around.
Spent my early teens in the 80:s drinking coffee eating sweets and buying some life changing literature when it was next to the British gallery.New place, spent 20 minutes waiting in a refill to down the scone that almost choked me to death.And the carpetbagging 'nee regulars", well they suck.Lady dance with Mary Jane.Godspeed old Atticus and it's first purpose.
Great atmosphere, attentive and caring people <3 and amazing new pizzas on the menu! So many awesome products and things for gifts. They even have a small bookshelf with a bunch of interesting reads. Just wish I lived closer!
Great bread, sandwiches, and coffee. The store could use some indoor seating though. Winter is here
Great place for lunch and dog friendly patio!
Wonderful small market with delicious freshly baked goods, tasty entrees and soups.
Great food, people, outdoor scene and staff. Love this place!
