Given the reviews and the hype our visit was a disappointment. Service was slow although the server did apologise. Acia bowl looked nothing like the pictures and the avocado toast was soggy with what appeared to be lime juice. Asked for bacon to be added but this never arrived and had to ask for the muffin we ordered after waiting for 40 minutes. Reviewed as average is being generous 😟

Came on a Saturday morning while on a visit to New Haven. Staff were friendly, prices were very reasonable, and the atmosphere was really inviting. Big windows and hardwood floors. I'd come here again.

Wonderful. This place is a must!! Not busy on a Wednesday morning. Ordered two egg sandwiches adding bacon to both, one on English muffin and one on croissant. Sandwiches perfectly made. London Fog with one pump lavender, finely a cup of tea that is HOT not luke warm. Could not really taste the lavender but still good. Lady taking order acted as though she had never done anything like this and it was crazy. Daughter got ice vanilla latte with cold foam on top. She said it’s the best she’s had in town as of now. As I was walking around the counter lady said can I help you with something. It was slightly off putting like I could not look around at everything. Maybe she thought I was lost?. Women who called our order and handed it to us was very pleasant. Definitely spot in here for a yummy start to your day.

Cute little cafe in the heart of downtown, not too far from Union Station. I was greeted warmly and really enjoyed the ambiance. Great coffee and chai latte, and the muffin was excellent as well.

Our favorite New Haven cafe! Great coffee, sandwiches, smoothies and the BEST muffins! The food is made to order so it’s always hot and fresh. Tom, the owner, is kind and always takes care of his customers!

The place is not bad, but I think the coffee could be better. I ordered two Nutella Latte and I think they forgot the Nutella. The food wasn’t bad. The bathroom was dirty. I think there are things that can be improved.

Visited Cedarhurst Cafe for the first time and had a mixed but mostly positive experience. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made a great first impression. The vibe of the place is cute and minimal — not overdone, just cozy and pleasant. I ordered a Dirty Chai latte and it was delicious. I didn’t get a chance to try the pastries, but they looked fresh and definitely not store-bought, which I appreciated.
On the flip side, I tried the egg sandwich on a croissant and it was just okay. For the price, I was hoping for a bit more — but hey, it’s New Haven, so that’s kind of the norm. The space itself is a little tight. On a busy day, I could see it feeling a bit cramped, especially since the seating is close together and there isn’t really a place to stand while waiting for your order without feeling like you’re in someone’s way. Also, most of the chairs aren’t very size-inclusive or comfortable for curvier folks, which is a downside they should consider addressing.

A very calm, clean, and cozy cafe with great food and staff. One the only 10/10 breakfast places south of Temple & Elm streets
Excellent coffee and yummy breakfast! They accommodated my gluten allergies with no issue! If you’re staying at the Omni on Temple Street, this is by far a superior option to their 19th Floor breakfast at a fraction of the cost.

Really liked this place but they aren't clear about when they close. Walked in at 1:30 and was dismissed. Likely won't be coming back.

really welcoming owners, excellent food - café casual, but fresh and delicious! we enjoyed the gluten free banana muffin and the grilled cheese on gluten free bread — easily one of the best muffins and grilled cheeses I’ve had in my life. We were shocked as we just stumbled in on a cold morning…
Also enjoyed the avo toast with egg and a chai latte with almond milk - chai was great & not painfully sweet (personal preference); avocado toast was very good, no qualms - as expected.
Would definitely recommend, felt welcomed and happy when visiting.
