I love the muffins but please please please fix the cookies -- they are cardboard.

Cramped. Overly hipster with weird furniture. But most unforgiving was bad coffee. Very watery with a strange flavor and tons of grounds in the bottom of the cup.

Koffee? Is exactly what you would want in a local coffee shop. they have great fare, and offer local artists and musicians a place to showcase their talent. you may also sometimes find a nationally known act here, you never know, Absolutely patronize this joint. You won't regret it.

Good coffee, service was good, indoor or outdoor seating! Nice place to sit and work or hang out with your favorite coffee.

Fun Fact -- I have had coffee, at Koffee, more times than all other places in New Haven combined, but I haven't been there since around 2004. We didn't have a falling out or anything. I just used to have business in their area and that concluded back then. I finally returned this weekend. Here's what I remember about Koffee. The coffee was strong, but drinkable. Their seating area was congested, and most or all of the seats and tables were usually taken by people working or hanging out. It wasn't fancy or modern looking, but it was comfortable in the times. There was some food, but it wasn't a particular draw. When I walked in on Saturday, looked around, ordered and sipped my black iced coffee, it felt exactly the same. I'm sure they've changed some things, but I couldn't tell you what they are. The coffee was probably some sort of dark or medium dark roast blend of beans from South and/or Central America. It was strong, but smooth. Not my favorite flavor profile for iced coffee, but well executed. Four Stars

Probably the best coffee shop in New Haven. Seriously good coffee. They have a side room with couches and desks for studying. The baristas are real experts.

Great spot for coffee and other related drinks. If you're cool! Duncan, the owner, is a really kind and generous soul.

Cute coffee shop with a comfy style. Staff is always pleasant with great service. Has a few great options that I love and everything is so tasty too. Indoor and outdoor seating

Koffee has a great cafe ambiance, with fun, and plentiful seating both indoor and outdoor. It's a great environment for doing work, talking with a friend or just grabbing coffee. I'm not sure if it was the caramel flavoring, but my caramel iced coffee tasted fruity, which was a bit distasteful. They did have some fun menu items such as a Nutella Latte that I will be back to try.

Great study place! Veeery popular with students, has both little desks and couches to sit on :) However the wait time for drinks is usually extremely long and the staff weren't super friendly the times I came here.
Apple cinnamon scone was tasteless. Husband said his mini blueberry muffin was just ok. Coffee was adequate...not bad but nothing to rave about. Service was fine. Did not care for the vibe of the place or the people. Seemed like they were trying to be hip but it looked and felt like a garage sale. However there was decent seating on the sidewalk in front. With all the nice places in New Haven, doubt I will be back.

Koffee is hands down my favorite coffee shop in the Yale/ New Haven community. The shop is in a central location close to both downtown New Haven and Yale University, making it a super convenient place to get work done. The ambience here is very hipster and chill, completely with plants and eclectic artwork on every wall. They play music in the background but it's not too loud of distracting. There's ample seating here and a variety in the type of seating as well which is really nice. There are desk/ cubicles, comfy couches, high top and regular tables --- truly something for everyone. The coffee here is also great and inexpensive. I haven't tried the baked goods but they do have some scones, muffins and other pastries for sale. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE KOFFEE

Koffee On Audobon is the prototypical hipster cafe but where patrons of all stripes rub shoulders together. From the local artist community, to students and local business folks, everyone enjoys Koffee. The coffee is stellar. I'm predisposed to a simple espresso but others in my circle say great things about their latte. My favorite part of Koffee, surprisingly, isn't the coffee but the food selection. In a world of rising prices, the food selection is downright cheap. Veggie platters, chicken satay, cool sandwiches, parfaits, and these new salad in a cup - watermelon feta mint for one and another is a carrot, goat cheese raisin. Koffee has plenty of outdoor seating, all on the street side (and mostly shady). The canal train construction has temporarily eliminated the outdoor seating on the sunny side of the building. It is going to be great once the next door construction is complete.

Delicious lattes, funky atmosphere and friendly staff. You can't go wrong here. Try the specials when they have them - they never disappoint.

Gotten the iced latte twice and loved it both times. Great place in downtown New Haven to grab a coffee.
