This place is the real McCoy. Okay, they serve H & H bagels from NYC, but who can argue with that? Their veggie options are tremendous; hope that they are serving vegetarian chile that day and order it if they are. Sandwiches are ample. Cookies are excellent. Coffee choices are well-prepared and a welcome relief from Starbucks. Service is a... more

Stale bagel, cold coffee. Why waste your money here? The deck was nice until Amtrak came by. The noise from the horn shook the deck, and I'm still trying to regain my hearing. more

If you like a good breakfast sandwich, or maybe a fresh muffin with some really good coffee, this is the place to go. The steady stream of regulars coming and going and sharing kind and happy words makes for some great atmosphere. In warm weather you can sit out on the deck which overlooks the river. Great place; comfy and... more

Great place for lunch outside in the spring. Gets a little crowded indoors in the winter with the tourists and families visiting the Coast Guard Academy. more

Muddy Waters is a real find, a warm and homey cafe within walking distance of the train station and the ferries in downtown New London. It is open for coffee and pastry from early morning until late afternoon, and the kitchen serves a limited menu of really good, simple, generous sandwiches and hot food until 3 p.m. most days. The... more

I believe this place is now called Muddy Waters Cafe, but no matter the name, it is a great place to get good coffee, breakfast sandwichs and lunch. The prices are very affordable (bagel sandwichs with eggs, etc are $3.50) and the food is good. I would recommend getting the brewed coffee as opposed to the lattes. Great ambiance with... more
