Best Places to Visit in Branford; Readers Sound Off

Branford, CT.--Now that Starbucks is being sued for allegedly underfilling their lattes, you’re probably going to need another go-to spot to take your mother-in-law when she comes to town for the holidays.

Luckily, Branford has plenty of top-notch local options to fill the foamy gap that Starbucks left behind, and coffee’s not your only choice.
