The Best Restaurants In Fairfield County, Connecticut - Fairfield County - The Infatuation

"Kneads in Westport is a bakery and cafe that takes itself very seriously. Founded by two former Blue Hill at Stone Barns sous chefs, all the flour used in their homemade breads and pastries is milled onsite from local grains. We find their plain croissants a little too whole-wheat-y, but love the sweeter options like the apple turnover and sticky pecan croissant, where the nutty flour balances the fillings. Their sandwiches are made on their excellent homemade sourdough bread—standouts include the ham and cheese dripping with melted rosemary butter, or the turkey melt with gruyere, apples, and bacon. The coffee is also always on point, so no matter what craving you’re trying to satisfy, you’ll find something at Kneads that hits just right." - chloe zale, ciera velarde
