17 Best Cafes in New Haven

“They were SO nice, and caring! They were out of one item, but they replaces it with TWO FREE plates of a different item; I mean come on! They even have us TWO free desserts: a cantaloupe sorbet, and home made sea salt chocolate! My favorite item was the scallops, and the tuna is a VERY close second! Music was interesting enough for me to ask for the playlist. Would recommend!“

“Feels like an Arab home-cooked meal. Authentic food, great music, amazing and kind service.

Also an amazing place to just sit and do work while drinking Turkish coffee and enjoying baklava.

They also do an outstanding thing for the community helping train refugees and helping them find employment or build businesses.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“I adore this place. Get the Two Eggs platter and the Jasmine Grapefruit Coffee Soda. It is also, surprisingly, the best G and T I've ever had in New Haven. I've been coming here for three years and never had a bad anything. If I still lived down the street, I'd still be coming here a few times a week. Super nice staff too which is increasingly hard to find.“

“When we got there the line was pretty long, but didn't have to wait long as there were plenty of staff taking orders so we moved through the line quickly. Waiting on drinks and food took a little longer but it was completely understandable as it was quite busy.....food and coffee were delicious, would definitely recommend and would return if in the area!“

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

“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!“

“Every bite was delicious!“

“The cafe stood on a quiet street. It was in an old house. The walls were white. At night, lights shone through the windows.

Inside, it was warm. People sat at small tables. Some were alone. Some talked with friends. The wood floors creaked.

Outside, there were chairs on the sidewalk. The air was cool. You could drink coffee and watch people walk by.

The sign said OPEN in red letters. It was bright against the dark.

The coffee was good. The food was simple. You could sit for hours. No one would bother you.

It was a good place to think. Or to forget. Or to meet someone. The cafe was there if you needed it.“

“The lady who took our order was very friendly and patient. She was very nice. There are a variety of food and drink options. We ordered a chai, raspberry iced tea and a lavender chai with dragon fruit. They were so good!!!! And the food was delicious too!! So yummy. Will definitely be coming back again :))
Best chai I have tried yet!
The cafe is also super cute and has lovely decoration.
I will be recommending to my friends. If you are reading this review, do come! You won't regret it!!
Thank you to the staff! Have a nice day! “

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

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

“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.“
