First time here and I can say whole heartedly that it won't be my last. This place is absolutely beautiful inside and the customer service was stellar!

First time going to this place even though I’ve heard about it for a while — can’t believe I hadn’t gone sooner! The food was delicious, and as a coffee lover, I especially loved the Caramel Latte. The staff is super friendly (always a plus) and the space is beautiful. Will be coming back again!

I’ve only visited once so far, but I’m still so impressed with their creative choices! We were able to try some of their new spring specials last time and it was all delicious. My favorite was the mashed potato grilled cheese! They have some delicious sides too. The staff was so friendly, and it was very charming inside. I already can’t wait for the next time I have a weekday home from work so I can stop by for lunch!

Very friendly staff, the food was delicious and seemed to be really good quality, decent pricing, theres a few benches to sit at but its mainly a takeout place, not meant to sit in and eat

In additional to their normal hours, The Eatery is now open Saturdays from 10am-2pm for the summer and I am SO happy! The workers are bubbly and inviting. The interior is bright, and although it does not have tables, they do have bench style seating inside and outside.

(Last visited January 10, 2025.) I've been coming to The Eatery in Wallingford for safe-to-say, years. A few of my foodie friends put me on game regarding this place that's about a 25-minute drive for me, but always so worth it. Here's why I love it so much!

The ciabatta break was very good and the sandwich with brown sugar aioli, Gouda, spinach, chicken, and bacon was both unique and delicious. They were friendly and there was easy parking out front. I will 100% come back next time I’m in the area as it’s a large menu to try!
