25 Best Coffee Shops near Essex

“Nice place right on the main street in Essex. The cashier was very friendly. I was one of only 3 people in the place at first. It all went well until the barista decided to make the 5 drinks for the guy who came in after me first. It appeared that the customer was friends with the people working. Shouldn't have happened. I can only hope it was an oversight and not a blatant jump over a customer.“

“We LOVE Olive Oyl’s. In the 20 years we’ve lived in Tri-town, it’s our family go to at least once on the weekends. When the kids are home for school breaks throughout the year they frequent Olive Oyl’s several times a week. We love the vibe, the food, location, and especially Kevin and Jen! We are lucky to have such a great place so close to home!“

“Belgian and Swiss Chocolates, coffee, ice cream and gifts. Really, you had me at “chocolate” 😋.“

“Excellent coffee and bagels. Top notch service. The owners and staff couldn’t be friendlier. If you’re near Westbrook looking for a coffee shop, I fully recommend Julie’s Cup of Joe!“

“Coming home this afternoon from a class at the Y, I thought about what to have for lunch. As I approached the light in Deep River, I decided to stop and see what the nest had to offer. I came home with a warm ham and Bree sandwich on a beautiful brioche bun and it did not disappoint. It was truly a treat on this chilly day as I continue with their warm chi latte made with almond milk. Lucky to have them close by! Sosse Baker“

“I just love the unhurried, friendly atmosphere that welcomes us at TWC. I don’t live very nearby, but visit for delicious treats when I can.“

“Lovely shop. The owner is talented, putting out French bistro classics that are delicious..
They offer very beautiful pastries as well as a variety of French goods to shop from... my biggest complaint is that it is an hour away lol. Worth the drive.“

“I wish we stopped at this place the first day of our trip instead of the last. we got a few different breakfast sandwiches, coffees and donuts and everyone loved them. the breakfast sandwich was especially delicious. staff was extremely patient and helpful with me ordering a ton of stuff for 6 people. wish I lived closer because this would be a regular stop for us !! definitely coming back next time“

“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.“

“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.“

“The only Dunkin I will go to 1635 Boston post rd old saybrook. There is a girl who works there goes by the name of Katie/kate/Kaitlyn she has great customer skills. Always greets us with a smile. She makes us laugh. She is very nice. Always makes sure our order is right. Whatever you do give this girl a raise. It is so hard to find someone who has that much friendly customer service“

“Amazing! Can’t wait to go back ☕️“

“Love this place!! I came in close to Christmas and Mike helped me put a beautiful gift box together even though I had missed the deadline. It was a huge hit and we are still enjoying it! My Dad loved the cheeses that Mike selected. Thanks again for being so kind and accommodating me on a very busy day❤️🙏“

“Leaving a positive review about Wheatmarket almost seems pointless as I have never heard a complaint. I love this place so so much. The food is super reasonably priced, consistent, fast, staff is beyond wonderful and the cookies are top tier. So lucky to have it in town 💙“

“The coffee is always made just right, the people are especially time efficient and kind, and the space is usually calm with clean tables. Good Dunkin! Only wish is that there were french crullers available (if they are they haven't been out while I've visited)“
