“La Fenice has the best sea salt caramel gelato in New Haven, we love spending time there! There are many options in the menu, including great coffees. The staff is very polite and the place is calm and cozy. The price is fair! I recommend visiting! ✨“

“Good coffee and pastries, and good people. Great place to relax.“

“they have coffee and stuff“

“Was tons of fun! Definitely will be going back!“

“This is a very small coffee shop. Order and pay inside. One small two seat table outside. Definitely order and go. It’s a little awkward due to small space. Ordered iced vanilla latte add pistachio. This was by far the BEST coffee I had in our 4 days in New Haven. So yummy. Added a cream cheese danish, chocolate chocolate chip muffin and baklava. He heated the danish and muffin. Both very good. We had never had baklava but enjoyed the very sweet treat. I would definitely be a coffee regular here if I lived in the area. Stop here!!!!!“

“I enjoyed my crepe today and the pricing is great.“

“I have been coming here for over five years. Date night My son’s 16 bday Breakfast 👩‍🍳 😘“

“Best coffee shop in the neighborhood. Friendly but fast service, yummy food, good music in background. Cozy. It's a keeper! Ps: their lavender lemonade is the ultimate summer drink)“

“This was my very first time in this one particular and I was very much impressed with its cleanliness, elegance, and a majority of the presentation of their baked goods. 4 out of 5!!!! I’m terribly sorry that you lost a star but that matcha brownie tasted absolutely disgusting. Never again will I buy it!!! Sorry sweetheart but it’s lacking sugar. However I do love the sweet cream filled bread you sold me. Thank you very much for helping me figure out what I want for breakfast tomorrow. Lastly, the cream green tea cake was absolutely divine. All this from being served by an incredibly gorgeous and really cashier/manager who I had to tip handsomely. I’ll definitely stop by on payday to give their specialty caffeinated drinks a try.“

“i love this place!! it’s a great setting for reading, and the coffee and pastries are delicious!! the barista with the nose piercing is my favorite. he makes the best iced oat cortado in town!! all the other baristas are also lovely and friendly. highly recommend if you’re in east rock!!“

“This is a more silent focused cafe in a hotel, the vibe is vintage and I would say “manly”. This is a great place to do work, there’s a decent amount of seating that gets wildly occupied during school (Yale) season— be mindful of this if you are going here. There is a room with a curtain and a couple booths, providing a private place to do work. The drink options here flavor wise are somewhat limited but they do have seasonal drinks which is nice. I have never tried their food but it seems all premade, so I’m not very interested.
This business would be more enjoyable and successful if their hours of operation were to be expanded until 11 pm or 12 am, 6 days a week. There should also be an additional of halal foods or snacks for customers to purchase.“

“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.“

“Always warm and welcoming!“

“Great atmosphere. Delicious ginger cookies. And refreshing drinks.“

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

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

“Enjoying my Papua New Guinea brew this morning. Thanks Willoughby’s for bringing superb coffee to New Haven County!!!“

“Ugh their food is so good & fresh ❤️ my fav ofcourse are their empanadas 😋 que ricooo ☺️“

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

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

“During lunch break from having to serve jury duty I found this coffee shop down the street and decided to pop in. The two behind the counter were very friendly and inviting, and the special grilled cheese with tomato or bacon with soup was PERFECT . the chicken corn chowder came out piping hot and didn't even need any salt or pepper. I'm usually skeptical when someone has to make my coffee instead of me doing it, but unlike dunkin donuts the gentleman made it just right! they seem to have a familiar and friendly customer fan base, and I would definitely go back again.“

“Love my Morning coffee ☕️ 👍🏻“

“Great little place. Coffee was very good (although I ordered a lot of flavor in it so I could t really judge the actual coffee).
The pistachio cake was maybe one of the best pieces of cake I can remember. And the chicken salad sandwich was excellent, on very fresh white bread.“

“This is a wonderful location. The ladies here are so nice and efficient with the service they provide. It is always so clean and neat. The drink orders are always correct. They toast the croissants, and bagels just right. The coffee never has a burnt taste, and always get the ratios of cream to sugar correct (at least for me).
