I don't believe I've come across a tea/coffee house that's both: a) Not open before 9 a.m. b) Not open on Sundays

The vibes are excellent! A cozy local spot with chill vibes and a welcoming spirit. The barista was awesome and made a perfect latte. Locally screen-printed shirts and trinkets. And, HELLO, biodegradable cups AND LIDS?? YES please!!!

This is absolutely the place to be. From the monthly open mics/shows, the people, the mocha lattes, I've fallen in love with all of it and it's impossible for anyone not to. 11 out of 10 would 1,000% recommend!

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!

We had the mocha and London fog. Mocha was watered down and not great. London fog was decent but not my favorite tea bag. They don't skimp on the milk though which I appreciate! Sandwiches were pretty good, but should've asked to toast the bread. The vibes inside were awesome, super cozy and cute. They had a decent selection of board games, probably around 50. Barista was super nice and sweet. Wait was a little long, maybe 15-20 minutes for everything but they were super busy. Overall, would recommend if you want a cute and cozy place to hang out in, do some work, and play some games!

Delicious sandwiches, good coffee, gelato(!), lovely vibes. What’s not to love? A perfect place to read a book, catch up with a friend, or get some work done.
walked in for an iced coffee and a sandwich. sandwich is absolutely delicious - it’s on a perfectly tangy sourdough and full of fresh greens. highly recommend stopping in if you do pickup at st. rita’s :)

I love all the local coffee shops but not this one. We came in and the woman working stared at us. No greeting , no can I help you, literally staring .Coffee was fine but the medium was the size of a small at any other shop.I ve never been to a local coffee shop where the person working didn’t greet me.No thanks after we paid. I said have a nice day and no reply.If two extremely small coffees are going to cost over 7.00 a smile goes a long way .Won’t return . Too many other awesome places in Hamden to waste time at a place where you don’t feel welcome .

My husband and I were in town in business, googled “best coffee place nearby”, and Cantean popped up with excellent reviews. We were charmed by the easy, comfortable vibe walking in, and by the friendly greeting we received. We decided to share a sandwich, which turned out to be substantial and scrumptious: plenty of ham and Brie with a nice thick layer of fresh spinach, on a wonderful Peasant bread. John got coffee, and I had a beautiful matcha latte, finishing things off with a couple of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. Everything was beautifully prepared and wrapped, with the perfect number of napkins included, at a very reasonable price. We very much enjoyed the experience at Cantean Coffee and Tea, and happily recommend it to everyone!
