Jeannine Erhardt & Roy Josias opened The Good Egg in Derby on Labor Day weekend in 2002. Located in Derby on the Green, The Good Egg was an instant success! The loyal residents of the Valley spread the word and a star was borne.

Within the first year of the opening, The Good Egg received notice from a chain restaurant in Arizona (also The Good Egg) and, for legal reasons, we had to change our name. So Jeannine held a contest for the customers to come up with an original name. Hundreds of suggestions were given and we narrowed it down to an entry submitted by our dear friend Kenny Montlick of Shelton. Our new name would be /Breakfast on the Green/.

Some would say the circumstances were unfortunate, however, we received much press in the Connecticut Post and New Haven Register which brought in many new customers. The minor inconvenience was well worth it!

Soon we added a lunch menu and it became popular....quickly! As our business and client base grew, it seemed our dining room shrunk. And so it was time to leave our 'home' in Derby and cross the bridge to Ansonia.

We are settled in our beautiful new building in the heart of downtown Ansonia and are loving our new neighborhood. The response to this venture has been so positive and supportive; we are truly blessed.

Cafe Taste not only features the favorites from our original breakfast and luncheon menus but we are open in the evenings with a full bar, dinner specials and live entertainment as well.

Cafe Taste also offers on-premise & off-premise catering by our catering company "A Tasteful Affair". Call us to customize your special occasion.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
