When Greg and I created Aux Delices in 1995, we never imagined that our little start-up would lead us to where we are today. Greg and I first met in culinary school in 1984. After graduating, our paths went in different directions - I went on to work for acclaimed Chef Dennis Foy at his restaurant, The Tarragon Tree, and later became the chef of his restaurant Toto in Summit, NJ. My career then took me to Manhattan to work for Drew Nieporent, at the acclaimed Montrachet. Serving as the Executive Chef for 8+ years was an incredible experience.

Can we stop with the forced tipping? I mean I bring the food to the counter myself and I'm supposed to tip you to ring it up on the register? I'm over it!

This has always been one of my favorite lunch spots. I have been going here for over 10 years. My favorite sandwich is their #1 which is an avocado sandwich. Their ingredients are always super fresh. The staff is also always so kind!

This place is terrible. Two times found hairs in food I ordered. The staff is NASTY, UNFRIENDLY, RUDE and LACKS customer service.

Good quality, but the world's worst service. tried to buy something yesterday and they couldn't take a credit card. tried again today and 4 people behind the counter busy doing nothing and after waiting ten minutes to pay, I finally gave up and went across the street to Balducci's. As I said, good food, but not worth the very aggravating, low efficiency service.

Every time that I'm on the Ave or anywhere near, I have to stop by this place because the food is so good and satisfying

They have everything here and the food is incredible too. If you're in the mood for something really good.

I love Aux Delices. I am a frequent guest at the Downtown Greenwich location and rarely stop by into the Riverside location. I was in Riverside over the weekend with a friend and had the delicious chicken tortilla soup. It was so flavorful! I was surprised it was as rich as it was. I also love all of their salads, baked goods and the iced tea.

Ordered from here for the first time and the food was absolutely delicious. They have a great menu and everything there is reasonably priced as well.

Great service and good coffee. Aside from all the food they prepare, they have fun little treats and snacks, like caramels made in VT.

A neighborhood institution. Excellent quality, fresh ingredients, and prompt, friendly service. On the more expensive side as lunch options go, but definitely worth it.

We visited and although small, Fresh, Delicious and wow. The quick service, friendly staff, the best salad tasty, the crab cake with ramilade scrumptious, the quiche with bacon and cheese was super! We are on the street tables and enjoyed the real plates, real utensils and my word the food was so tasty and Good. We walked into this restaurant by accident but will return soon. Lite and wonderful lunch.

I love Aux Delices on Elm St - the service is great, sadly the same can't be same for this location in Riverside. There is one gentleman who works the counter here and I've now had two bad experiences with him. He doesn't make the salad samplers correctly- the container was barely filled with a tasting of each salad but I only noticed once I had left. Today, I was standing at the counter of prepAred foods behind the only other customer in the store at the time who was ordering- a line formed while I waited and the gentles insisted I go to the other part of the store to the back of the line. I tried to explain my position and he was downright rude. Even when the next customer said "she was here when I arrived". Over it. Bad service twice is not a good look.

Beware getting anything that's been premade or sitting out in the glass displays. I've gotten sick here right after eating their food when it was in those little glass windows. If it's made fresh or prepped by the kitchen, I usually fair better. They've also forgotten on more than one occasion what specific requests I made for my sandwich, so that's a little upsetting. So, A-Ok if I get something that the kitchen cooks.

Not so much if it's been sitting behind the refrigerated display glasses. Their service also leaves much to be desired. Sometimes they'll group my meal in with some stranger's and make me pay for theirs, or they'll just leave me to my own devices for 5-10 minutes when it's not even busy.

Great place to catch a quick bite with healthy salads and sandwiches ready to go. Also, I love the pretty array of things to buy if you need a gift like a box of chocolates. Highly recommend the salad dressings with the Sherry Vinaigrette as my personal favorite.

This place has the best cold brew coffee in town and the staff is amazing. The place is almost always busy and the entire staff knows what they're doing. It's actually quite remarkable how they are able to serve everyone so promptly and in such a pleasant manner.

I recently went to the pasta making class at Aux Delices - it was so much fun! I like to consider myself good in the kitchen but my pasta making skills are just mediocre, the chef made it entertaining and made sure we all were hands on. I even tried to make the gnocchi at home and it was probably the best I've ever had in any restaurant! Will definitely be back again!

Convenience in proximity and parking, that's about it. Organized, friendly and efficient service = None. Well prepared, delicious food at a reasonable price = None. I think about 10+ years ago they were closer to doing it right in meaning and what "aux delice" stood for.

Great sandwiches, coffee, and community vibe. The prices are high but this is a go to for coffee if I needed one with no frills. They have a frequent user card which is worth getting for a free drink after so many.

This spot is a weekly must have on the way to work. Excellent selection of coffee, breakfast and grab&go lunch options. Parking is a breeze and it's truly a "quick stop" without the "fast food". Food is always on point!

I live a mile away, come here all the time. I always thought they could make it into a full restaurant and make a killing, but for delicious food on the go, with amazing breakfast and lunch items and probably the best coffee in town, Def have to give 5 stars! Also, their loyalty (card) program always seems to get me something free. If you go often, get a card!

Not only do they make spectacular wedding like birthday cakes, their premade food is top notch! We have had a few informal parties where we served their bake ziti, Mac and cheese, and etc. They definitely do not disappoint. Also very friendly staff; i think better than the Greenwich or Darien location.

Moved to the area a year ago and finally came to Aux Delices about two months ago and love it! Great variety of foods and desserts. I also had a lunch catered- we did a quiche Lorraine and 4 smaller appetizers. Everything was delicious and we had plenty leftover quiche- they are large!

Aux Delices is always filled with professional staff who are always very respectful and helpful. It is hard to come across great service when it comes to food places. It is good to see people get along because it makes the experience more pleasurable and attracts more customers. The food is always well prepared, healthy and delicious. Yes it is a bit pricey but you pay for what you get. Enjoy!

Recently went for lunch with my client who highly recommended it! We both had the 4 salad plate and I loved the fresh, creative salads! Very crowded space at lunch time, and a little confusing when you're there trying to find where to order, how to order, etc. But with a little patience you'll figure it out and enjoy.

The counter staff may honestly be the worst and consistently Rudest service I have experienced in North America! To make matters more amusing, I'm not sure the owners know how incredulously rude the counter folk are, because they have now added extra tall food containers So that one can not even see them as they yell up at you insisting you order, etc!

It reminds me of the nazi restaurant in LA Stories! The food by contrast is tasty and healthy. However there are So many other places with decent service the I've actually stopped Going there because its just not worth my time putting up with the rude staff all the time!

Had 1/4 lb. of salmon salad, 2 cookies, and a roll. Came to about $6.50. Fine price in my mind! The salmon salad was delicous and not skimpy on the salmon and veggies. The cookies tasty and the roll carby. This will be a frequent lunch spot for me and I recommend it for lunch to anyone in the area. Can't wait to try more!
