Arden’s
The arrestingly chic Arden’s is drenched in sunlight and sunny coastal vibes. The café and community coffee shop serves seasonally driven and locally inspired dishes with good, clean ingredients. By day this is THE spot in Rowayton to pop in for a house-pressed juice, smoothie or chai latte or a salad.
Our favorites are the grapefruit salad with avocado, arugula, pickled red onions, toasted pistachios and citrus vinaigrette and the shaved brussel sprouts with parmesan, toasted pine nuts and lemon vinaigrette. The communal tables are perfect for sharing a toast like the smoked salmon, capers, dill, roe and marinated goat feta or the hummus, avocado, cucumber, pickled red onion, microgreens and herb tahini. After hours dining experiences, unique workshops, and intimate private events are always stunning and creative like their first Arden’s After Hours Summer Series with Nit-Noi this summer.
