I must say I visit this coffee shop daily since last summer. And I’ve noticed a change in everything from the service to the taste of the coffee to the atomosphere. And the change is for the worst. The girls at the register used to be bubbly and interacted with you not anymore! Today I walked in the placed smelled like URINE and burnt toast! The bathroom scope was wide opened and I can tell it hadn’t been cleaned in a while it was horrid! I almost walked out! Your a small shop please clean your bathroom the smell of urine was all through the shop it smelled like a train station not a cute coffee shop. Please do better I like this place!

Cute little stand alone coffee place in Hamden. Coffee and drinks are top notch, pastries are good, nice indoor and outdoor seating. Can be loud inside, with lots of college students 😁, but a very nice alternative to Starbucks or Dunkin.

This place has all of the coffee shop essentials drinks like espresso based drinks and matcha lattes. They even have special flavor combos and fun ice teas. But the real treat here are the fresh bagels! They have plain and everything bagels, and also a rotating daily special flavor like cinnamon raisin! These are the best bagels around and I always seek them out when I'm anywhere nearby. Must try!

Cute little breakfast place with good specials. Low energy, but a good place to get a coffee in Hamden after running some errands. I went back a second time and it was just as good as the first. However I do have to say they upcharged me. 5.50 for a latte, good price. Substitute milk, an extra dollar, fine. Add cold foam 1.10 whatever. So it should have been 7.60- accounting for tax, 8.02. Ridiculous but oh well- tell me why they charged me almost ten dollars. For one coffee. I’m sorry that’s actually ridiculous- the costs were posted which I understand but I don’t know where the extra three dollars came from.

Ordered through Uber Eats today and everything is AMAZING! I'm a NY transplant and have very high bagel standards. The everything bagel is the best I've had since moving to CT! The Chai Latte is also fantastic. I will definitely be ordering from here again soon!

I was here on the earlier side, so the store was really quiet. My matcha latte was very tasty.

Ground up is my favorite coffee spot. It’s a great location and the food and coffee is delicious. I love their coffee specials, and the service is always great too.

The place is super cute but the coffee drinks were scolding hot, the pastries were tasteless and the cashier kept forgetting our drink order as she was entering them. ( it was not busy, so I’m not sure why she couldn’t remember “oat milk”)
I did notice some fruit gnats in the food display case which was weird. I won’t be coming back, there are plenty of other cute coffee shops with better coffee.
But this could be cute for students just wanting to hang out

Loved this place. Don't get to Hamden much, but it's worth the trip. I judge my coffee by how much cream and /or sugar I need. I needed none. Make this a stop when in Hamden.
