“What a warm and wholesome vibe, and very authentic middle eastern food! The staff is so friendly and the Arabic coffee wakes me up like nothing else. Even being a customer at Havenly makes you a part of their commendable mission - to create space for international cultures“

“I always get their skinny lattes. ☕️☕️☕️ Delicious! Plus bagel with cream cheese & lox! Looking forward to trying various wines! 🍷🍷🍷“

“Very welcoming atmosphere with an upbeat vibe, very tasty teas & a variety to choose from.“

“During lunch break from having to serve jury duty I found this coffee shop down the street and decided to pop in. The two behind the counter were very friendly and inviting, and the special grilled cheese with tomato or bacon with soup was PERFECT . the chicken corn chowder came out piping hot and didn't even need any salt or pepper. I'm usually skeptical when someone has to make my coffee instead of me doing it, but unlike dunkin donuts the gentleman made it just right! they seem to have a familiar and friendly customer fan base, and I would definitely go back again.“

“I love this little Cafe. They have great food, wonderful service and a very welcoming and comfortable ambiance. It's a great place to meet a friend for coffee, have a working lunch or relax on the weekends. Personally my favorite is their Rumor sandwich!“

“Been to Tommy Sullivan’s many times love the atmosphere friendly servers decent prices my sister love the calamari said it was the best she had ever had I enjoyed the Portabella stuffed just wish they had more vegetarian items to choose from“

“This was our first visit and we didn't quite know what to expect. The menu is very different in that everything is prepared to share. The food was not only outstanding but so different from any other menu. The service was absolutely exceptional, and we will be back!“

“Fabulous Greek Salad!!!!!“

“Best place to sit in town and enjoy coffee and pastries. Beautiful ambience and friendly staff. Love going here!!“

“Came to do trivia visiting from San Diego, CA. I gotta say what a good time! They have great food, greater drinks and impeccable service. Our server was Michelle and she was fantastic! We ordered the fish and chips and the turkey sub with fries. Both were delightful! We came in last place for trivia and got a consolation prize! ? Great times, good food, good people. Highly recommend for a casual night out for food and drinks!“

“I love G Cafe. Their cronuts (croissant donuts) are the best thing that I have ever eaten in my life. Get them warmed to make them extra delicious. And the coffee is so amazing as well! I love the milk and sugar bar that lets you fix it just how you like it. The service is always excellent. I have two little gripes: this place is expensive! Definitely not an every-day kind of coffee shop, at least for me. And secondly, the seating could definitely be better (actual tables and chairs), and there is no wi-fi. The latter is not really an issue for me, because I always get my cronuts and coffee to-go. Or perhaps, these aspects are why I get them to-go... Overall, you should definitely go to G Cafe and try their world-famous cronuts. Other items I like to indulge in are the cinnamon rolls (so unbelievably good), ham and cheese croissants, or either of the quiches.“

“Awesome empanadas and great food“

“Best place with the best people and the drinks are great!“

“Bowl=AMAZING Staff= VERY FRIENDLY AND PATIENT Will definitely be returning!!“

“people are friendly food is. good good. serves“

“Every time I visit New Haven, G Café is one of my favorite stops. It has that cozy, small-town café charm that instantly makes you feel at home.
This time, I went in hoping to get some work done, and it didn’t disappoint. There were others working too, which created a nice focused vibe. The free Wi-Fi and sunny window view made it an ideal spot to spend the afternoon.
I ordered the ham and cheese quiche—absolutely perfect—and paired it with an iced latte (requested with less ice, and to my surprise, they actually followed through!). For just $14, I got great food, great coffee, and a peaceful three-hour work session. Definitely a spot I want to come back to.“

“Had state street for the first time today after a hockey game. It was super busy but they quickly got us seated nonetheless. The food was SO GOOD. Well worth the price! The siracha maple syrup is FANTASTIC.“

“I’ve been going to G Cafe nearly every morning since moving to Branford in 2020. They have amazing food, coffee and lunch options. Their staff is incredibly friendly and I always look forward to morning coffee there. Especially when the weather is nice, there are several bistro tables to enjoy fresh air and good conversation!“

“Loved the atmosphere, the fantastic customer service, the food, and the coffee. Would absolutely go back.“

“We had oysters on half shells for antipasto and a lobster fettuccine and a branzino (which came with sauteed spinach and purple potatoes) for main courses, then finished with a berries cheesecake.\n\nNow the oysters were so good that we ordered another four. Then my husband had a bite of the fettuccine and told me, it's so good he felt like flying with wings. Which made me wonder what he meant, so I had a bite. The parsley worked magically with the lobster, and the fettuccine was done perfectly. And the lobster was succulent and sweet.\n\nNow back to my branzino. I actually never liked branzino the fish, mainly for its boring texture and taste. I ordered it just because I felt adventurous today, really. But this one surprised me. The crushed pistachios somehow worked wonders with the branzino, hah! And the sauteed spinach, as well as the grilled purple potatoes, were mind blowing. I will go back, if not for the lobster fettuccine, only for the spinach and the purple potatoes.\n\nOh, and we had a side of sauteed broccoli rabe which was no less miraculous than the spinach and purple potatoes. We agreed that this is a restaurant we'll visit again soon.\n\nThe dessert was a neat finish to the fulfilling meal. This was a happy, rainy evening.\n\nOh and we loved Francesco. We had servers who would constantly make remarks or gestures that left guests feeling bothered and uneasy, but Francesco was just right. He's so cordial and effective, always there when we thought to look up but never intrusive or inhospitable for the sake of being hospitable. I guess he's also part of the reason we felt so comfortable dining there.“

“Common Grounds in Branford is my “Go to” every day after my workouts. I meet with friends for coffee and spirited conversation, and see a lot of people I know….and I always make new friends! The staff is AMAZING and I love the owners! Great vibe and the BEST JAVA on the planet. And the wraps…..YUMMY!!!! Thank you!!“

“Jonathan and his team did an amazing job for my wife’s surprise birthday party. Signature cocktail for the event. Great selection of food and desserts. Everyone raved about the experience. My wife was absolutely impressed.“

“I like Dante's Inferno and the Columbian dark roast. The cafe boasts lovely natural lighting and essentially, the cafe is a large solarium. The cafe plays classic soul music most of the time. It's good for a quick bite. The KBT dining staff are always lovely and they roast their own beans.“

“Great food and great customer service my favorite restaurant ?? never disappoint me Regi was so helpful thank you“

“I can only say that this place surprised me a lot, everything is organic and prepared instantly. The flavors in each bite are unique, no sugar, no gluten, no processed flours. And the spectacular attention there is a lot of healthy information in each dish. I’m definitely going back.“

“best cardamom lattes, beautiful pastries, lovely interior!“

“The best coffee in town! They care about where and how the coffee is sourced!“

“Every bite was delicious!“

“Good coffee and pastries, and good people. Great place to relax.“

“It was great and the outside is beautiful the waiters great Kristen and Cody“

“Great little place. Coffee was very good (although I ordered a lot of flavor in it so I could t really judge the actual coffee).
The pistachio cake was maybe one of the best pieces of cake I can remember. And the chicken salad sandwich was excellent, on very fresh white bread.“

“I recently ordered a Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla & wings from Zee's. If you like spicy, this Quesadilla is for you! It was more than worth the price; it had great flavor, & it was packed! That was one big Quesadilla! I shared it with someone, because it was too much for me. Oh by the way, the garlic parm wings, & mild wings were delicious too! Don't sleep on Zee's food. It's fantastic. Also of note, check out their specialty drinks. Always something new & delicious to try!“

“This is a more silent focused cafe in a hotel, the vibe is vintage and I would say “manly”. This is a great place to do work, there’s a decent amount of seating that gets wildly occupied during school (Yale) season— be mindful of this if you are going here. There is a room with a curtain and a couple booths, providing a private place to do work. The drink options here flavor wise are somewhat limited but they do have seasonal drinks which is nice. I have never tried their food but it seems all premade, so I’m not very interested.
This business would be more enjoyable and successful if their hours of operation were to be expanded until 11 pm or 12 am, 6 days a week. There should also be an additional of halal foods or snacks for customers to purchase.“

“Really good authentic yarde style food out here in Middletown. Being from Hartford I know good Jamaican food when I taste it and they got it, the cook pops out every now and then to great you like a sweet mom. Staff upfront is super nice and accommodating. Keep up the great work guys.“

“Cozy atmosphere, really extensive wine list and comprehensive tasting notes. I love to do a wine flight (3 2 oz. glasses) and do a blind tasting with a partner, then try to match them to the wine based off of the tasting notes. We also tried the chocolate lava cake, which was decent and a good pairing with the drinks. Service was attentive and excellent. A wonderful experience overall, and an underrated gem in the neighborhood.“

“We stumbled upon this place and the owner was amazing and welcomimg. The bartenders were just as pleasant and friendly. We stayed and ended up enjoying our entire evening there and felt like family by the time we left. We couldn't leave before enjoying Chaz's delicious food... The fish platter is a must try! We have definitely added this on our list of places we will frequent when needing a nice drink and great atmosphere.“

“Just stopped for coffee and bread. Staff was very helpful“

“Great atmosphere. Delicious ginger cookies. And refreshing drinks.“

“This place deserves a 5 star rating. The food is phenomenal, I’ve never had a bad meal here. The specials board offers new dishes every day for breakfast and lunch and they are incredible every time. Super creative, thoughtful, fresh and high quality. Service is fantastic too, very nice servers/cashiers, quick and friendly. Paula is a wonderful chef, and her service and cooking staff deserve all the praise. Very professional here, 10/10.“
