Chestnut Fine Foods & Confections

Chestnut fine foods has served New Haven for so long with such kindness, mastery and grace. Patricia is the kindest person, and Fred is a master chef, second to none. From crab cakes with sauce to die for, quiche and eggplant parmigiana that is exquisite, to other dishes available for catering! They also have a selection of sandwiches on homemade bread, soup of the day and the best is for last… The cookies are a fan favorite, but be sure to check out the other sweets like their signature butter finger chewy You will not find a ‘finer’ place to eat in New Haven! The staff is incredible, bon appetite !

Fresh-baked whole wheat bread -- yum! Why is that so hard to find these days? My first visit was yesterday, and I see a nice deli selection of veggie ingredients too. I'll definitely be back to try that out ... and pick up more bread!

Great experience! Excellent food like grandma makes. Everything is made in store including all breads and desserts. A great place to catch up with old friends or to enjoy a nice treat and chat with lived ones. They also cater the finest events as well as the backyard BBQ. DEFINITELY worth stopping in and checking out! Vegetarian options: Most of the soups, and there is an equal variety (that varies) between proteins And Veggies. Also there are fish dishes for those who only eat fish

The menu at Chestnut Fine features a wide range of dishes that are all made with the freshest ingredients and prepared with care. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty breakfast, a satisfying lunch, or a delicious dinner, you'll find something to love on the menu. And if you're looking for something sweet to finish off your meal, you won't be disappointed. The desserts at Chestnut Fine are simply amazing, with everything from homemade pies to decadent cakes that are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. Overall, I would highly recommend Chestnut Fine to anyone looking for great homemade-style food in New Haven.

Set up like a tea room, the food is excellent, service is great too. Owners are on premises, and it makes a difference! I love coming here with friends for their soup and sandwuch comb; everything is tasty and fresh and reasonably priced.

This lunch spot is hands down our favorite to visit in New Haven! It's located right on State Street, and inside is super cozy and quaint. Their staff are so helpful and welcoming. Ask them about any of the dishes, and you'll get an enthusiastic description and a beautiful plate. Everything here is made from scratch including their warm loaves of bread, delicious chicken pot pie, interesting quiches, homemade soups, salads, and gorgeous desserts. Love, love love and will be back for sure next time we travel to the Shoreline!

My wife and I come here quite regularly. It’s just such a cosy space that makes you feel like you’re in grandma’s kitchen. The food is delicious and the staff are very kind.

Great service and food.
