Coffee Shops near Clinton

“I recently moved to the area (family has lived here for decades, so I am aware of Beach Donut from my visits, but now I can go anytime!!!) and went to Beach Donut the very first morning here after my drive across the country. I have lived here about 4 months, and I go here perhaps 2x a week. They have a great selection of donuts, coffee, tea, sandwiches, etc, but I only order one donut per stop, and take it home to eat. I try to order a new/different one each time, so I have now had one of most different donuts. Service is always great. Donuts are just $2 each, with some specialty things (apple fritters, cinnamon rolls, etc) up to $5 each. I have ordered donuts that I honestly thought I would not like - I think I was challenging Beach Donut to disappoint me after so many home runs! Anyway, I have fun 'rating system' for donuts. There is my 'favorites' list, my 'OK' list, my 'meh' list, and my 'never-again' list. Of the 20-25 different donut flavors that I have tried, this place skews the grading system - EVERYTHING (except for one - later) is on my 'favorites' list. I kid you not. The one that ended up on my 'meh' list was the cinnamon roll. I will never order it again - not because it was bad, but because you can't go wrong with any of the others instead. I have 2 favorite-favorites: The $5 apple fritter and the $2 chocolate glazed. $5 for a fritter seems a little high, on the surface of it all, but when you see this and eat this you will understand that it is worth every penny. If I have ANY complaint about the fritter, it is that the darned things are TOO BIG. There is no way a normal human (See my moniker????? I am USED to eating challenges and usually win.) can eat one of these in a single sitting. But they are THE MOST apple-y fritter I have ever had. Simply awesome!\n\nIf you are in the area some morning, give this place a try. The donuts rival those from Emily's Bakery in Westbrook which closed decades ago, but set an impossibly high 'donut bar'. Tell them Fatso says 'hi'!!“

“The best DD on i95 exit 63 in Connecticut near the Clinton Factory Outlets. The employees are very friendly and professional too. Always smiling. Bathroom very clean. Eat-in is favorable. Ample and super clean parking lots. Next door is ColdStone icecream... yummy. If you need emergency repairs on your phone, there is AT&T. The employees are superb. You could fix vacuum cleaners at Orec. If you are traveling with pets.. YES.. Petco is here too.. the employees know what they are doing.. and next door is Mattress Firm.. been there many times.. made me sleepy.

Come visit Glenwood Plaza, 8 Glenwood Rd, Clinton, Connecticut.“

“Charlie and Olaya are making the best muffalettas and gumbo this side of the Mississippi! How do I know I spent 13 years in New Orleans and I'm a pure foodie! Do not miss your chance to visit this place and close your eyes and reminisce about the Mississippi River and Jackson square and maybe even the Napoleon House restaurant!
Outstanding! Tell Charlie and Olaya Leo and Cassia sent you!
You will not be disappointed! Five stars highly recommended!“

“The crew there is absolutely amazing and they made the perfect Pumpkin Spice Coffee. Keep up the great work Lauren and crew! ���“

“They were super busy and I told him that I had quad espresso and I can’t wait 15 minutes and the girl said hey I got two shots. Here’s two more boom bang. I got my drink no bullshit went great. Also the unit is brand new and it was super busy. It was very clean inside. There was some condensation on the inside walls. Everybody was nice to me. Thank you so much“

“I went to the drive thru New Year’s Eve at 2:00 in the afternoon and it was extremely busy! They asked me to pull along the side which I did and there was another vehicle there also waiting. Within a few minutes there were 4 vehicles waiting in that small area (which would have been fine if the first vehicle pulled in correctly) the gentleman that was running the food out literally was running his tail off! They did a great job expediting the food as quickly as they could! Props to all of the workers there today working their butts off! You all did a great job!“

“Julie’s Cup of Joe is always a happy place and even on dark days the owners make you feel welcome! Much appreciated in a stressful world, is a great cup of coffee to help start the day with a smile! ☕️😊“

“Essex Coffee & Tea Company is an absolute gem. Incredible coffee, high-quality teas, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. Everything is crafted with care, and the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Whether you’re grabbing a quick cup or settling in, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“Great owners, friendly, super ideas, creativity beyond and truly passionate people. Definitely a plus to this small Connecticut town.“

“Just tried the vegan chocolate and vegan lemon blueberry. May I just say they were both outstanding...creamy, rich and delicious. Well done Honeycone Cream Co. 🥰 I will definitely be a repeat customer. Husband had a vanilla milkshake and he said it was really good.“
