If you're a fan of cozy cafes and tasty meals, Arden's is definitely a spot to put on your list when visiting downtown Rowayton. I recently stopped by and was completely impressed by their signature skirt steak sandwich — tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. Pairing that with their BLT, which is packed with thick-cut bacon, sweet potatoes, quinoa, green sauce, poached eggs, and avocado, creates a wonderful balance of textures and tastes that’s hard to beat. What really stood out to me, though, was the chocolate olive oil cake. As someone who enjoys trying unique desserts, this cake was incredibly moist and rich, with a pleasant subtlety from the olive oil that set it apart from typical chocolate cakes. The café's matcha latte also added a refreshing touch to the meal, softly complementing the other flavors. Beyond the food, the vibe at Arden's is welcoming and laid-back, perfect for a casual lunch or a relaxed afternoon catch-up. If you're exploring #CT or #Connecticut’s local foodie scene, this spot combines great eats with a beach town charm. I’m also intrigued by their new dinner menu and can’t wait to go back and try it soon. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Rowayton, Arden's offers a great taste experience that highlights the best of #CTfood. Highly recommend this hidden gem for food lovers seeking quality and unique flavors.
