Flaky, buttery, and stuffed with whipped cream and fruit, popovers are a delicious and versatile American brunch treat. At Popover Bistro and Bakery in Simsbury, the flexibility of the pastry is truly on display. The varieties of popovers range from goat cheese to smoked salmon with capers or the veggie-stuffed popover with kale and avocado.

Although popovers are the star here, there are plenty of other options on the menu. The owners are particularly considerate to the dietary needs of their customers and there is a wide range of gluten-free baked goods on offer, including waffles and muffins. The kitchen takes care to offer healthy selections such as egg plates and smoothie bowls to complement heavier options like the fried chicken and waffles special.

The ambiance of Popovers features a sunny dining area with warm blue walls, hardwood floors, and a fun vintage vibe.
