I enjoyed my lunch at Sawdust today. The bagel was warm and delicious, and the cream cheese was amazing. The BLT was cooked well and a good size. I hope to get a huge cinnamon role next time I come in. The cucumber watermelon refresher was good, however the guava passion fruit smoothie is watery and not great. The interior is very cute and the prices are great for a small business. Highly recommend.

I come here all the time to sit and draw both inside on the couches or outside on the bistro chairs. So far I’ve had the BLT and Avocado Toast, the ice coffee and a few cocktails all were perfect. One Friday night I came to listen to acoustic music and met a new Frend. Great place to socialize.

My favorite cafe/bar in Putnam, CT— good vibes! Try the bacon, egg, and cheese (cheddar) Sammie for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The best! Highly recommend.

Super friendly people, great service, we had travelled almost 2 hours to get to Putnam for a day of antiquing and they were kind enough to let 10-12 of us use their bathroom with a smile and no expectation of purchase, super friendly and helpful answering questions about parking options in the area. Bought an iced chai latte that was great and some chocolate twinkies that I brought home for those in the family that could not go with us. They were also really good.

Saw dust Coffee House & Dessert Bar, Putnam has a beautiful 50 person capacity upstairs room. I rented it for my daughters bridal shower and couldn’t have been happier. Pete was easy to work with and had wonderful suggestions for the brunch. Brook, Trisha, and Heather did an outstanding job during the shower. Those ladies worked so hard running around to take care of anything we asked for and couldn’t have been more pleasant. Everything from the mimosas, muffins, quiches, scones, potatoes, and yogurt parfaits was delicious. Our guests loved their made to order coffee drinks and the delicious Espresso and Salted Caramel martinis. I would highly recommend Saw Dust Coffee House and Dessert Bar for your event.

Extremely kind staff and delicious lunch and coffee. Was never impressed with Victoria Station. Happy to say Sawdust was the coffee shop I always hoped would move into this location. Will be back for sure !

Loved the atmosphere, but the service girls seemed impatient and had no smile. Sandwiches are expensive and small for the money. They give you macaroni salad in a condiment sized cup.

Sawdust is an apt name, as that was what the food and coffee tasted like. This was made up for by the interesting atmosphere (Although some decorations stood out a little to me) and the staff were friendly enough.

I usually work at Saw Dust on weekdays as I work from home and sometimes need to go out to change scenery. A few weird things have happened here as I think about what happened. The first incident was bringing my own water bottle (hydro peek) and an employee asking me to put it away as they do not allow it and explaining that they have water there for customers. I smiled and apologized and told them it wouldn’t happen again. After this, I saw multiple customers bring their own water bottles on different days without anyone enforcing the “rule.” This has happened on multiple occasions. NOTE: I WAS 5 MONTHS PREGNANT AND NEEDED TO STAY HYDRATED.

Food is decent but no prices on the menu. You’ll be surprised when you get there to find out your total is way more than you’d reasonably expect. I think people should at least be aware they’re going to get gauged at the register before they place the order. Deceptive and shady if you ask me. Advertise your prices.
