The Art Space Cafe

It is a nice place to visit with friends, family or even alone. The energy in the building is great and there are such positive vibes that can put any mind at ease. They currently have an art installation that any patron can participate in. Highly recommend visiting and maybe even leaving your own mark. It is great to see a business that is focused on cultivating the love for creative art, especially for children. They have a resident artist on rotation that provides the classes. The cafe has a varied menu with so many options and the profits go to the art classes!

An eclectic cafe situated inside of an art gallery. The food and service both match the beauty of the art. I highly recommend the Avocado Toast and Chai Tea Latte. Such a gem if you’re visiting the Norwalk area!

if anyone is wondering if this place is dog friendly, the art side has tables that you can sit down with your pup as long as you’re not dining on the cafe side but you can order and sit down on art side. i thought that was very nice and accommodating of them. their cold brew is delish!

Food was extremely delicious! You can tell the ingredients are fresh and high quality because the flavors of the food/pastries speak for themselves. The employees were extremely friendly. Must visit spot!

Nice place situted in an art gallery featuring local artists. Fresh-made sandwiches, bowls, salads, and breakfast foods. Good choice of coffees and teas as well. Pastries are very tasty. Sandwiches are overstuffed and very good. Try the bowls too! The staff is very friendly.

The Art cafe art exhibition and environment was wonderful. The cafe offers a vast menu and was very clean. Ordered the tofu sandwich which was basically a slab of thick plain tofu on bread with a mayonnaise. This sandwich was disappointing. Tofu should be seasoned, marinated or sautéed to a crisp. Please update this sandwich and prepare the tofu correctly to give it flavor.

Nice, natural light room with artwalk all over the walls (appears to be from children from the area). I had an avocado toast with scrambled egg and a cortado. Both very good. Nice clean area to sit and quiet. My only input is the building appeared closed from the outside and I thought I must be in the wrong place because it looks more like a closed museum than a coffee shop. But I took a chance and tried the door and found the cafe in the rear of the room.

Love the concept of the art gallery with a cute little cafe. Coffee is excellent. I haven't tried the baked goods. Sandwiches are okay, too greasy for my taste.

I've been meaning to try Art Space Cafe for some time! The staff are incredibly friendly and were very patient with my questions about ingredients used to make their products. I love that they support local businesses by using their products (Westport Farmers Market, Flour Water Salt Bread). The cafe is incorporated in the art gallery, which is so unique. You just have to see it for yourself! Everything is so dainty and aesthetic. The coffee was great! My banana bread was oddly hard and dry, not sure why. But my friend thoroughly enjoyed her meal. Will be back soon!

Amazing food and lovely staff. Couldn't recommend more! It's got a nice atmosphere. Will say you can't tell from the street that there open so check the door.

Super cute space and they've got such a nice variety of drinks and food! I absolutely loved the Irish cream cold brew and it was one of the best cold brews I've had

Best food adventure!! This lil cafe is the back of a gorgeously converted church turned art gallery. The art is cool, but the culinary art that is happening here is unbelievable!! I had The Good Bowl, and it definitely is aptly named. It's packed with perfectly cooked beets, sweet potatos, wild rice, and THE CREAMIEST tahini - I'm drooling just thinking about it again. Every bite was a flavor journey that you both didn't want to end but also couldn't wait to get to the next bite. The Green Goddess Salad was also awesome - simplicity refined. Their drink specials were things I'd neither heard of nor even thought about putting together. Like, cold brew and pineapple juice? What the what??! I had the espresso with tonic and ginger syrup. It was like my morning coffee hooked up with a ginger ale. It was WEIRD but I wasn't mad about it! The only thing weirder than the drink specials was the art itself - and I mean that in the best possible way. Grab your best culinarily adventurous friend and go treat yourself to a lunch you will not soon forget!!

Outstanding food and the people who work here care. Incredible scrambled eggs (if you've ever had ill cooked eggs you know what I mean), pastries and the best coffee drinks! And the ambiance is terrific. Go here!

The peanut butter oatmeal was delicious, tasting like an elevated version of the classic childhood combination of peanut butter and jelly. It was so comforting! The portion was large and filling, so I ended up having leftovers. The concord grape lemonade was also amazing! The grape flavor shined and it was the perfect amount of sweetness. Can't wait to continue trying their whole menu!

What a cute find! Great casual and unique place to grab brunch or lunch. It's small, so better for smaller groups. They have multiple vegan and gluten free options, and you can browse the art gallery, full of work from students and local artists, before or after your meal. It's behind-the-counter service, but very friendly and helpful with suggestions and recommendations. I would definitely go back.

Everything here is delicious and fresh. All the pastries ; we've tried a lot! And the food and drinks as well. Love that you can view some cool art as you wait for you food. Unique and yum brunch spot!

Absolutely delicious, incredible place for a cozy bite or coffee. Everything is community based which makes it feel even more special. Put away your own plates, art all over from local folks, even ingredients from locally sourced spots. FSW bread for the win. Coffee and Matcha is spectacular. My father and I discovered PICKLED tofu here and it was a game changer. A small kitchen so you know it's all done with attention and love. This is by far my favorite spot in Norwalk. I always leave feeling calm, happy and FULL. Thank you Art Cafe

The scrambled eggs are perfectly made. The cafe is quiet, clean and spacious. Patrons are respectful of noise level. I appreciate that the cafe used glass plates, mugs and reusable utensils to avoid any unnecessary waste. The gallery is adjoined and is always enjoyable to wander through and observe the art. The cafe is a great setting for reading, a quiet game of chess, drawing or studying. I personally find it to be a quieter alternative to a busy coffee shop and enjoy it!

What a fun venue! Breakfast/brunch at the Art Space is the perfect weekend getaway. Food is phenomenal with creative menu, at a very affordable cost. The atmosphere is fun, and make sure to say hi to the volunteers working around the space!

A perfect 'anti brunch' brunch for me: I was looking for something different from both a food and ambiance perspective and I got both. The venue is unique, we took the time to tour the different art pieces on the 3 levels and then sat and ordered beautifully crafted sandwiches. Simple service but one can feel a solid organization in the back, well thought recipes and great execution. Thanks ADK for the initiative, the volunteers for their help and the staff behind this cafe for a nice time.

The Art Space Cafe is in my opinion, the best and most original café in all of Norwalk. The coffee and food creations use 100% real ingredients, are house-made and never include artificial syrups or flavors. Their lunch and breakfast menu includes delicious, non-traditional delights such as carrot soup, pizza baguette, and much more. Alcoholic beverages like wine can be found on the menu as well! If you didn't already love the Art Space for their delicious concoctions, you'll love that their proceeds go to the art program within the gallery, supporting free classes for local high school students and a resident artist. This café doubles as a rotating, local gallery, giving guests the chance to see the latest exhibit and live music on weekends.

Beyond Bill Taibe recipes, it is outstanding that the staff remembers my name and what I usually order. Of course the art which is crafted exceeds expectations.

Breakfast scrambled eggs are divine! Coffee fantastic & the art is profound and interesting

Incredible atmosphere, outstanding food, and very friendly staff. The pastries and egg dishes were excellent.

Had been meaning to check this place out and finally visited. It does take some time for food items, since it's a small staff (which they note) so would order ahead of time, but otherwise walk around and enjoy the art! The wait is so worth it! The menu is actually quite extensive and imaginative. I ordered the PLT sandwich and it is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Cold brew is great too! Will def come again.

What a glorious place! The dedication to community and art, all while serving the best food I've ever eaten??? Which then funds the mission? I've never experienced food like this. It is a revelation.

Great coffees, sandwiches and baked goods in a cool setting. Order your food, browse the gallery, eat and then browse some more. Go-to's for me are the Avocado Toast (make sure you add on kimchee), Overnight Oats and iced chai latte with an espresso shot. Avocado tofu sandwich, Hoodoo Brown Turkey sandwich with spicy Mayo and pepper relish are also great. Friends swear by tuna. If they have Bomboloni (big filled donut) get one. Exactly what Norwalk needs.

Great options for coffee and tea. The avocado toast was really good. Can't wait to try more food.

awesome cafe addition to norwalk. peaceful and good food. great place to get some work done. had the chicken curry salad pretty good. the cold brew was awesome as well.
